its means on your own you can not make yourself righteous but by Gods mercy he has made us righteous.This is clearly done at the cross by the blood of Jesus.

Romans 3:21

21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Hi Homie. Jeremiah chapter 17 continues from the previous chapter, where we find God's accusation against Judah for their many sins (see Jeremiah 16:10-18). Then in chapter 17, we see the grievousness of Judah's sin which ultimately sent them into Babylonian captivity: so terrible & permanent were their sins, that it was like when an engraver uses his iron scribing tool to chip into the stone he is working with, or the use of a diamond-tipped point to do similar work - the result is an indelible deep inscription both before God & etched on Judah's hearts and a memorial upon the "horns" of their idolatrous altars & groves (Asherah).

In verse 3, the LORD speaks of the heritage of Judah, of their possessions & places they gave over by committing wilful sin; all these they will lose one day as Babylon takes it all as spoil. Jeremiah was the last prophet to warn Judah before Judah went into exile as punishment.

Yea my rein's shall rejoice When they lips speak right thing Let not thin heart envy sinners But be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long for surely there is an end and thine expectation shell not be cut off

In Genesis chapter 15, we read about God speaking with Abram, that the day would come when Abram, who was childless at that time, would have a great progeny that would be without number. Then God speaks to Abram about the coming servitude of Israel to the Egyptians (vv13,14). But after four hundred years (or, the fourth generation: v16), they will finally be set free & enter into the land that God had promised them.

And the reason given is in verse 16, "But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full." The land of Canaan was at that time filled with many people groups, such as the Amorites, Canaanites, Jebusites, etc.(vv19-21) & they were all wicked & idol worshippers. So, it was the Judgement of God that was to fall upon them for their wickedness, and it would be the Israelites that would be the instrument that God would use to wipe them out & that Israel would possess that land which God has promised them. The iniquity (wickedness) of the Amorites (probably, a people representative of the other heathen around them), had not fully matured, but when it happened, the Anger of the LORD would be poured out upon them. As a side note, the Israelites did not completely wipe out the idolators, and so in this they disobeyed God & also suffered for it by having those customs & practises permeate into Israel's life & worship.

You can check out the following Scriptures, Dave: Leviticus 18:22 (& verse 23: bestiality); Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:26,27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10; Jude 1:7.

Where does it say in the Bible about sex and woman laying with woman and man laying with men?

This Psalm is focusing on those who would be what we call today "atheists." They are said here to do terrible things; as well as go after God's people. Verses 1 and 3 remind us that there is no one who does good. We see this sort of behavior in the end of dispensations of time when "judgment comes to the full" starting in Genesis 15:16; and it continues to the transgressions of Babylon at the end of the 70 years of captivity as well as the time in Revelation in the example of a few instances.

Lest we entertain the tought that this state is only for those who deny that God exists; we surely have to realize the admonitions in 2 Thessalonians 2:10 about those who did not receive the LOVE of the truth. Ultimately; as Romans 1 and Psalm 19 indicate there is enough evidence in Creation that men are without excuse; also including evidence of the godhead ( Romans 1:20). We are reminded that because God does not execute judgment right away men get complacent in Ecclesiastes 8:11.

We are reminded here in verse 6 of the treatment of the poor of Proverbs 21:20 where "a fool and his money are soon parted." Some; thankfully will repent when humbled enough; sadly others not as Revelation makes all too clear. The last verse once again looks forward to the salvation of the nation of Israel; related to the last days return of His people. Israel for now is far nationally from repentance; and it won't fully repent and come to the true Messiah until the Lord is returning ( Zechariah 12:12 and surrounding verses). Let us all test our hearts to make sure that we are worthy to escape all the things that are to come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man ( Luke 21:36 see also Rev. 3:10).

I love jesus

Hello Beverly. We remember that when Jesus spoke these words (John chapter 14), the time of His crucifixion was not far away. Jesus was alerting them that the long & deep discourses they enjoyed together in companionship & ministry, would soon be over. The time was just around the corner when only a few words would be spoken by Him, as He had to engage with Satan (the prince of this world) who would now come after Him with full force (maybe to get Jesus to break down & sin; which Satan had continually failed to succeed in).

Jesus would have to suffer agony in Gethsemane, Judas' betrayal with a kiss, His arrest, judgements against Him, beatings, humiliation, & finally agonizing crucifixion. This was Satan's last chance if he was to have victory over the Son of God - but at every point, Jesus remained resolute in His Calling & to His Father, thereby ensuring salvation's path made forever available to us.

"hath nothing in me": or, as can be read, 'Satan has nothing to find in Me', or 'nothing in Me that he could grasp at'. Our Lord remained pure & unspotted despite Satan's temptations & thrusts. Satan would have thought, 'if only I can get to Him this one last time - I will give it my all'. But as Jesus implied, 'Satan would leave empty-handed - he failed at the first - he will fail at the last.' And this could also be a warning to the disciples, that though Satan will fail with Him, he will come after them & to all those who trust in Me & are My disciples. But Satan could never anticipate the power & efficacy of Jesus' shed Blood that ever stands as a memorial before God to all who have been purchased by it & secured by it.

And to answer your other question: we will always hear from the Lord, as the apostles did then, & we will hear from Him when we come in faith & in love as His precious blood-bought children.

Hello Cynthia. You'll find this account in 2 Kings 4:8-37 & specifically verse 10 (about 'making a little chamber'). However, in this verse, 'making' probably doesn't refer to some special building work being done to create a room, rather, a case of 'providing & preparing' an existing small enclosed area of the building (that's fast against the wall & part of the wall) so that Elisha could reside. In some homes in the eastern culture, there's usually a room at the entrance of a house where guests come in, sit, & converse. Guests/visitors usually are not permitted to go further into the home, which is reserved only for family & relatives. This may be a similar situation that we see here in Shunem.

Romans 3:10 says there is none righteous no not one but

Luke 1 says Zechariah and Elisabeth were

righteous. How does one reconcile those 2

verses?

What is the iniquity of the Amorites?

Considering Jeremiah 17 , the beginning is sort of vague to me can you guys interpret the first three verses to maek this more clear please? thanks

The number 7 means completion, God rested on the 7 th day. The seven churches spoken of in revelation, along with the stars. Numbers are very Significant throughout the bible. The 10 virgins are the ten tribes, the 2 sons are the two tribes in the prodical son. The numbers Jesus uses are very important. The ten lepers etc...

I would like to think the same thing. However we must find ourselves on our knees asking for forgiveness. I am amazed how many times the Muslim religion is on theirs daily!

Hi Alex N;

It is alright if you do not believe in two gospels, but this does not change the fact that there are two gospels, the gospel that saved our spirit teaches the death, burial and resurrection, also known as the gospel of peace, the gospel of salvation, the gospel of God and the gospel of Christ, however these names do not change the gospel. But when we preach about the gospel of the kingdom, we are not teaching about eternal life, we are teaching about a kingdom based upon theocrasy, where the Lord Jesus owns the kingdom and all the people in the kingdom. All of the Lord's parables are not about getting saved or being born again, they are about the kingdom of heaven, this is the gospel of the kingdom, when the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 6:9-10, Gal. 5:19-21 and Ephesians 5:5 he did not teach if Christians live a sinful lifestyle they cannot go to heaven, nor did he teach they will go to hell, he taught they will not inherit the kingdom of God. This message is about the gospel of the kingdom, although all Christians will go to heaven, not all Christians will enter the kingdom of heaven, being the millennial kingdom at the second coming of Christ, nor when we start the new heaven and new earth in the final kingdom of heaven, the city New Jerusalem. All of this is about kingdom theology, so if you call it the kingdom of heaven, or the kingdom of God, or the kingdom of Christ, this does not change the dispensation, nor the manifestation of the kingdom. I have an abundance of scripture for all of this, if you are willing to learn, I will share this with you.

Isn't it something. The whole book is about faith. Faith in no matter what circumstance we find ourselves in ! Continuing to hope and believe that what has been written , is true even until our dyeing day! Things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen!

Keep reading, study hard, take nothing for granted! The Holy spirit will guide and keep you. In Christ , Fred

Question: where is it found that the Shumite women builds elijah a chamber in her house?

Hi Linda.

What Luke 2:21 is saying this is which what was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Other words the Angel Gabriel was instructed by God to name Mary's child "Jesus "

Here's the account.

Luke 1:26-31. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

Linda, in addition to Gigi and Ruach reply, let me add context to fully understand and answer your question.

Luke 1:33 Context 30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Luke 2:21 21And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

I love the Lord with all my heart my soul

Oh thanks so much I will read those more!! Thank you for your help!

John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

I'm confused about this scripture. We pray and hear from the Lord now. Does this mean we won't? Is the prince of the world referring to satan?

Hi Cheryl.

Chapters 1,2,and 3 speaks of Judgment coming upon Israel.

In verse 16 he asked that they cut off the hair of their children. This is a sign of deep mourning. The Assyrian was coming and thy took the children first.

Micah 1:16. "Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee."

We see this display of mourning in Isaiah 15:2

"He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off."

You have the reason of this Judgment in ch 2.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

Hello . There is a scripture that refers to the moon being turned into blood in Joel 2 : 30-32 but as Chris said , there isn't the actual phrase , blood moon , in the Bible .

May God bless you and your wife . May God grant you your request and may you and your wife find peace , happiness and contentment with each other and in Christ .

Numbers are very important in the Bible . However , there is always a danger that we can put too much significance on them and , if we do , we may end up paying more attention to them than we do to God's Word . I would caution anyone against getting too deeply into their significance as we could find ourselves on the edges of numerology and that wouldn't be advisable for anyone who considers themselves to be a Christian .
