Paul's Marital Status It wasn't mean't to waste time or offend we were just getting briefly in the depth

if background historically to enrich understanding. That's the purpose of a commentary. So that being

stated God Bless.

Thank you, I agree that its easy to get to sucked into the soap opera media. I noticed you used the word anger a few times assuming my emotional state, but I didn't say I was angry. I was upset which to me is a state of concern. I think its appropriate to dislike injustice and be disgusted over evil. Jesus displayed some of that. We are to love everyone, pray for them, and forgive them for their wrongs. This seems like the biggest challenge to me, rather than merely trying to limit an emotional reaction. I know God will make all things just and fair in the end, but in the meantime it's hard seeing people temporarily 'get away' with evil in this life.

Jesse Brother I was told something long time ago by a cool brother, he never sees error, he always

sees potential for change and growth. Thought that was a great statement! By the way nice comment!

Brother I'm convinced that if you don't get into culture background and language of the times of the

scriptures you miss out on a lot of understanding of what God is communicating, that's just my opinion.

One example I looked at recently old testament Proverb 6:32 the word understanding =heart that puts an

entirely different importance of the result of act committed. Good Stuff!

I love reading the bible thank you for making it online

Amen Brother Jesse!!

That's the way I've heard it taught and that is what I believe even more so.

I was viewing it as we're the car buyers and perhaps Satan was the instrument by which he was to be tested, The Dealership/Spirit sent him out on the test run. Matthew 4:1.

Boy! I hope noone read this but you!!

This is where I need Brother Chris to put this in English for me. Lol

God bless.

What does Apostle Paul's former marital status if he had one) have to do with anything?

It Has nothing to do with whether we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Paul was hunting down Christians and killing them in the name of the Emperor. He had Steven the evangelist, stoned to death. He was on his way to Damascus to order some more deaths, when Jesus confronted him.

As a believer, Paul endured much persecution, physical trauma, imprisionments, stoning, running for his life, chained to a Roman guard (who got saved). He had a thorn in the flesh. (I have a thorn in the flesh. It's no picnic!)

But Paul was not the winner in persecutions. The other Apostles suffered heinous deaths also. Jesus chose each and everyone of them. He can do anything with a willing Believer. Even us.

We can answer their questions and win some to Christ__or present more questions than answers.

Rick,

Sorry, John 13:6, not Matthew.

Brother Rick,

Amen to that! Jesus was teaching His disciples about humility. History tells us that household slaves did the job of foot washing, but not a Hebrew or Jewish person. Even if a Hebrew or Jewish person was a slave, they did not lower themselves to wash someone's feet.

Now can you imagine Jesus getting ready to wash the disciples' feet, and that it was a shame and an embarrassment for a Hebrew slave to do that task? It had to be somebody else other than a Hebrew slave that would wash the guests' feet.

So now here's Jesus approaching Simon Peter in Matthew 13:6, and He's getting ready to wash Peter's feet. And Peter wasn't having anything to do with it. In Peter's mind, he's probably thinking that Jesus, being a Jew, he cannot wash anyone's feet. That's the job of a slave, a servant. Peter says in verse 8 "You shall never wash my feet."

Peter is not trying to be rebellious. He is trying to be courteous in the sense that first of all, no Jew should be washing anyone's feet! But Jesus Himself, the Master, the Rabbi is doing it? Peter says "You are never going to wash my feet." Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

So Jesus is teaching humility. Jesus is taking the "low-road" in the form of a servant. And as you say, Jesus is setting the example on how they will need to love and serve each other when He's gone. Jesus says in John 13:15, "For I have given you an (example), that ye should do as I have done to you.

What I notice is that Jesus did not say that you should do "what I have done" to you, but you should do "as I have done" to you. He is saying that I took the position and function, the menial task, the lowest task that even a Jewish or Hebrew person would not even do, even if they were a slave, and this is what you are to do for one another. Humility!

Our brothers and sisters in Christ must come first, even before ourselves. That's what it's all about!

Gigi I hear that loud and clear.

The mother of my son a daughter keeps the kids from me because she's mad at me. We had a fallout August 7th and she didn't allow me to see our son till I filed paperwork for visitation. She has returned every card that I've sent my son. Our daughter was born on September 7th and I had to do the same with her. I have yet to see our daughter! She was born with Prader Will Syndrome and is still in the hospital! It does drive me crazy but I have to give it to God.

Rick,

It was good food for thought. Made us think and consider this portion of man's history in light of God's overall (or Pen-ultimate) purpose and plan for creation. It is all about His glory.

Georganna Moore First I don't believe a lot of Hagees stuff second do you go to a church or have you talked

to any type of counselors?

Chris What I put out wasn't for acceptance I was just so to speak spitballing or mulling around it

takes a lot for me to accept something as being biblically accurate and proven.

Tunji,

Not sure if you replied to me, and not sure of the chronological order you are working on. Nabopolassar was Nebuchadnezzar's father the first king Neo-Babylonian Empire, Nebuchadnezzar was the second. His father died shortly after Nebuchadnezzar came back from defeating Egypt and on the way back, he invaded Jerusalem and took Daniel and others 606-605 BC. Nebuchadnezzar is the only king mentioned it happened all so close his father was not named.

However, the major distress to Jerusalem did not come then but began after Jehoiakim rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar some three years later around 601B.C. 2 Kings 24:1. Nebuchadnezzar in his eighth year, 605-8=597, laid siege to Jerusalem and captured it in 597 B.C. 2 Kings 24 2 Chronicles 36:6 says Jehoiakim was carried away in fetters to

Babylon, whether alive or dead and his son, Jehoiachin, was taken captive to Babylon.

This was the first major amount of the captives of the Jews; in addition to King Jehoiachin, most of the nobility, and most of the treasury, they took to Babylon in 597 B.C. Nebuchadnezzar was then placed on the throne as a puppet, Zedekiah. 2 Chronicles 36:5-11.

Zedekiah. Over time, in malice of many admonitions from the prophet Jeremiah, Zedekiah, he too rebelled, and the Babylonians laid siege to Jerusalem once again in 587 B.C. Jeremiah 1

This siege produced devastating famine and pestilence within the metropolis, which finally fell to the Babylonians in 586 B.C. They destroyed the city and walls and burnt down the temple several weeks later on the ninth day of the month AV, (the same day of the same month that Titus destroyed the Second Temple, six hundred, fifty-six years afterward, in 70 A.D. 2 Kings 25:8-12.

The second temple was dedicated in 516 BC, 70 years after the first temple was destroyed. Daniel was taken 606-605 BC and the temple was destroyed 19 years later in 586 BC.

If this is not what you are working on let me know, I may help.

God bless,

Brother Spencer,

You are welcome. And I do agree about the driver testing the car out to prove if what the dealer told him/her was true. But please keep in mind that Satan was not tempting Jesus in order for Him to prove who He was. Satan already knew who Jesus was. Again, that word "if" in the Greek text can be translated "since." So Satan was saying since you are the Son of God, do this. The Greek gives us a different outlook on what it's actually saying.

Thanks for the blessing. May the Lord continue to bless you also!

Tunji My understanding is the same king, Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom was huge and one of His habits

was when he took over a kingdom he would take the emblem or statue of god or gods and sit them on

the outer wall of his kingdom to display his power. That's why when someone or something went against

hid authority he was enraged. When none of the wise men in the kingdom could answer the dream he ordered

all of them dead Daniel 2:12+13 that included Daniel and shadrach meshach and Abednego. It's amazing in

a pagan empire that again God intervened for the standing believers and delivered again

Notice the chaldean wise men answer in verses 10+11 of chapter two the gos who's dwelling is not

of flesh.

Brother Jesse.

It's amazing how a little word like the word "IF" in the Greek can make a world of difference. Wow!

God bless.

Alex The reason he's being of service to them in the last upper is to be an example to them how they will need

to love and serve each other when He's gone. Also it's a great reminder of what believers are supposed to be doing

in the church of God amongst ourselves then reaching out to others. The attraction will be the love agapeo[of God]

they see. Jesus Christ ate drank and breathed love and service to others pointing to God.

I guess you haven't studied about ingrediants that are in the vaccines

They are full of carcinogens neurotoxins and heavy metals. All meant to kill not help. There is even a us patent for the coronavirus.

John 7 : 37 Jesus cried if ANYMAN thirst let him come unto me and drink, This speak he of the Spirit that they that believed on him should receive for the H.G was not yet given b/c that Jesus was not yet glorified , But listen to what Jesus is saying if any man thirst Anybody . As Joel says in the last days he wiii pour out his spirit the ( the H.G. ) ON ALL FLESH.

When he fed the multitutudes he fed everybody no exceptions and he did it with a child's lunch which is the H.G. the Child of PROMISE . Unless ya receive the Kingdom of GOD AS A LIL Child impling a heavenly birth of a baby Christ in us ,that bread of life Thus he will truly feed the whole world spritually speaking. As he says when he the spirit of truth is come the H.G. HE WILL REPROVE THE WORLD OF SIN AND JUDGEMENT ETC

Amy

Thank you, I Am talking about my relationship with God!! Some might even compare it to a troubled marriage, where one has been deserted. I'll still try your suggestion of Robin Bullock.

Guys

Thank You for the verses and other references. I am just so emotionally and spiritually empty! My tears are empty! I am the woman who just missed touching the hem of His robes. I'm not even lucky enough to be the Gentiles dog under the table to eat the crumbs. There are so many references to God's unchosen.

I have nothing to remember His faithfulness by. Job had previous experiences to remember and could hold on. He could still praise God and testify to His friends.

At one dark time the only thing I could hold onto was a poem called "The Will of God'' I didn't get any answers from that but I felt the strength of it. Now it's just a piece of paper with pretty words. Why am I so dead or empty (feeling and spiritually)?

Amen Brother Jesse,

That testing for the driver is to prove if it is what the dealer say it is. The testing in view of the dealership is to Prove it is what he say it is.

Thanks and God bless.

Amen Sister GiGi.

The Lord prepared the way for the entry and the exit in Egypt. And did it in a way perhaps only he understand! He used Joseph to prepare the way!

A funny note:

And also Jacob loved Joseph so much he wanted to take the journey. He probably wouldn't have taken it if it was Simeon. Lol. This wasn't a perfect family to display

Gods Glory and promises to Abraham. ( A God who provides.) When we consider that the Lord to Abraham out of a Idol worshipping world along with these stories all Glory goes to God. This is all Grace!! They was in Egypt for 400 years and was Led by Lord in the wilderness for 40 years. God raised up Judges, Prophets, Priest, Kings, This was a Priestley Nation like no other nation nor will be! But the commandments slew them.

This shows us and will show us again in the Millennium that even in the best condition under the best governing, with the Lord in the midst. It's not enough! It does nothing to a ungenerated heart. The Heart of man is incurably wicked. The Lord didn't come to repair the Heart he came to create in us a New Heart.

God bless.

Gi Gi gbu but you are not reading your bible completely to understand water baptism. Jesus knew that all of his disciples

had been water baptised but he warns them if I wash thee not you will have no part with me which speaks volumes of a greater baptism of the .H.G that originated from his blood the CROSS . There is only 1 baptism of Promise which is baptism of the H.G , Behold I send the Promise of my father upon you which was baptism of the H.G. NOT WATER BAPTISM, Just think of that he tells his own disciples if i wash thee not you will have no part with me and they had all been water baptised prevously .

Chris if the righteous scarcely be saved is just telling us that the blood of the lamb is gona make everybody righteous in the end .BUT our old ADAMIC NATURE HAS TO GO THRU THE LAKE OF FIRE REMEMBER WHAT JESUS SAID EVERY SACRIFICE HAS TO BE SALTED WITH FIRE WHICH IS THE FIRE OF THE H.G. As jesus said he came to bring fire on this earth meaning on mankind , its simply what mankind needs. In the beginning the curse of ADAM WAS APPLIED TO EVERYMAN , No exceptions ,But in the end the blood of Christ will be applied to everyman, No exceptions As Jesus said if i be lifted up i will draw ALL men unto me no exceptions , Its our old adamic nature that is sowe that returns to his vomit. and the dog that returns her vomit. But our newman is the H.G. that Child of PROMISE , tHE MULTIPLICATION OF CHRIST via his seed etc. Chris our old man is in rank with Satan, Thats y we must be bornagain of an incorruptible seed . And its this satanic nature , our old hearts as jesus said outta of the Hearts of man proceeds all manner of evil that is gonna be destroyed by his baptism of fire ..mans evil adamic nature is our old hearts thats y he has to give us a new heart and a new spirit Simply b/c they are 1 and the same , Thats y he called Peter satan it was simply b/c peter's old adamic nature, he was not yet converted. Born again of an incorruptible seed etc . Christ we must keep in mind that our GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE WE CANNOT DO AWAY WITH THAT TRUTH IF WE WANT TO BE MADE CLEAN.

Thank you very much bro. David and Jesse. God bless

Anthony A few points Jesus Christ was originally sent for the lost sheep of the House of Israel, most of

what he was teaching was to that peoples and culture, but when certain individuals came to Him and Believed

who He Is The Son Of God and didn't see only heard of what He was doing I.E. the centurion Luke 7:2 understood

the authority Given to Jesus and by messenger said He was not worthy although he was in charge of 100 men

and said at your word and His servant was healed, he believed without seeing. Most times in Gospels they saw then

believed. Now to the judeans certain gentiles canaanites and others were considered un believing dogs so to

speak, and yet because of her believing will because she said Have mercy on me son of David therefore she heard

of Him and believed.

The washing of the hands was in criticism of the corruption of the religious leaders who appeared and

acted so self righteous and if you didn't eat with clean hands you can't be walking with God.

Jesus Christ came to fulfill and complete the law of the old testament and nailed it to the cross, so in the age

of grace we fulfill the law by walking in the spiritual law of agapeo the love of God when we are born again which was

not possible until the day of pentecost. In the age of Grace we are to believe Gods Word then we get the works,

in the gospels they mostly saw then believed. That's why Jesus said blessed are they who have not seen and will believe.

Answers to Color questions Humans were Designed by God to be adaptable in all the climates and conditions

that God new in time would be needed and especially came in handy after dividing the idolatrous practice

of Nimrods Kingdom to build a Tower haha to reach Heaven to defy God. So when they were scattered over the

years to different climates and multiplied the different genetic traits took hold I.E. darker darks and lighter lights

in skin and even slightly in form but you can till tell there mankind.
