Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 720

I was taught that Israel was the center of "Bible Interpretation", the World.

I only mentioned Genesis, about blessing Israel. For more clarity we should compare Leviticus 26:14-39. If we cannot see this correction happening in our society, then we are blind.

Worse yet we are mute. Should we be silent?

All I know is we're being invaded from within. From other nations.

Do you think I didn't pray about this? I did. One word was given to me: CONSTITUENTS.

That's what each person is. It has nothing to do with Blues or Reds. It is the Haves vs the Have Nots. Our voices are Muted. Leaders are no longer listening to their constituents.

In the Tribulation, no one will have a voice. The IRS will take our photographs IF WE EXPECT to get a tax return. To drive a car we will be fingerprinted and photographed again. Powers that be, are working on how to force people to be implanted with microchips to use our own money.

There's a video on YouTube of them practicing on chickens, I kid you not.

Romans 13:11

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of SLEEP: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that Sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee Light.

Luke 21:34-36, And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so THAT DAY come upon you unawares.

1 Thessalonians 5:6 - Therefore let us not SLEEP, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

If we don't wake up real soon, to counter and confront our leaders (?) we are without excuse. We are being prepared for the slaughter, not just the unborn, but for the living unsaved. Can you shed a tear for those who are doomed? They have no clue, literally.

Please let's find our voices?

May These Messages Awaken Us to the Lateness of the Hour. Pray.

Take a few moments to go TWO PREACHERS on YouTube and see the newest videos of disasters in India, Pakistan and other places;

See the updated chart of Drought Areas in the USA.

Scarcity problems are just beginning.

From California to Texas, the drought is pushing eastward. Cattle can't graze on tumbleweeds.

Please understand this preacher. When our leadership turned its back, withheld funds for Israel and gave every penny to the Palestinians instead, our nation entered into a cycle of curses. "I will bless those who bless Israel."

Lev.26, our enemies will invade our land.

God is serious about His Word. All people need to know what is happening. If it's not coming out of the pulpits, it should be. So go look at that drought chart. It's going to spread all the way east, if we as like Nineveh, do not repent as a nation.

Just my idea alone; re- register your party affiliation and get this President retired at the next election. WE ARE the "constituents." They count heads every day. Our numbers need to explode and send the message. We don't bow our knee to anyone except Jesus Christ. It is legal to switch parties as long as it's within one year of another national election.

My focus is not political. We've abandoned Israel and we will suffer as long as this goes forward. God watches over Israel. He doesn't sleep. They are our blessing. So bless yourself and let's do what is necessary.

It is almost the same politically, as in King Herods rule over Israel; before Jesus's birth. Who we are, where we are, our numbers, our nationality, our religion. Our Government is just as oppressive NOW.

We can turn this around. Re-register. Forms at any government office; the Post Office for sure. Don't procrastinate. Mid-Terms are soon. God help us see we do have the favor of the Lord. READ Leviticus 26;

Deu. 28.

Evangelists, part 2.

Should all christians be evangelists? Definitely yes.In the sence that we talk to peple about Jesus and mainly tell them our testimony, what God has done to our lives, how He changed us. It is a MUST for all christians, men and women.

But we are not the Evangelists that God uses to bring masses of people in the faith. Those Evangelists are high in the hierarchy of the church. They are placed by God at the same level as apostles, as pastors, as prophets, as teachers. Apostles establish churches, Teachers teach the Word of God in the church, Prophets give specific messages from God to direct the work of the church, Pastors are the head of the church and Evangelists preach and bring the saved people in the church

All very important for the work of the church in the world. Are there nowadays Evangelists in the sence we read in the Gospel? I think there are. Maybe not with such power we see in the Acts but definitely there are. And how about praying to God that He gives His power to His children to work for Him as at those ancient times? May God bless His children to minister Him.

I'm not understanding the idea of praying for the dead in verse and the verse above .

Dear brothers/sisters

What is an evangelist?

Ephesians 4:11-12

"11 - And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 - For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:'

The Evangelists mentioned in the above verses are persons that God uses to preach His Word to people.

Philip was an evangelist.

Acts 21:8

"And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVAGELIST which was one of the seven; and abode with him."

We know the story how he went to Samaria and preached the Gospel to Samaritans.

Acts 8:5-8 & Acts 8:40

"5. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

6. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.

8. And there was great joy in that city.

40. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea."

That is how an evangelist works in God's work.

This ministry involves specific persons (male) that God uses to bring His word to masses of people. And how it is proved that they have the specific spiritual gift? Mainly from the results their ministry has. It is Important that God testifies their word. In the case of Philip the whole city believed his preaching and got baptised.

That is completely different from what we use to call an evangelist nowadays. We simply call evangelist someone who talks to people, usually one at a time,, about Jesus Christ. Those, men and women, are actually evangelists since they bring the Good News of God's salvation to people. But they are not the specific ministry that God uses in His church to evangelize whole towns.

GBU

Mark 16:15 | View whole chapter

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

We all need to remember that Jesus said this to all of His followers. Everyone can participate in some kind of capacity. If you can't go, be part of intercessory prayer groups to pray for those that do go. Fund the missionaries your church sends out.

Give an offering to God__and bless those who need Bible tracts as they go minister on the streets of your city.

Figure out what part of the Body of Christ you are. I'm his feet. Hear the call.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Jeremiah was a priest, a native of Anathoth, in the tribe of Benjamin. He was called to the prophetic office when very young, about seventy years after the death of Isaiah, and exercised it for about forty years with great faithfulness, till the sins of the Jewish nation came to their full measure and destruction followed. The prophecies of Jeremiah do not stand as they were delivered. Blayney has endeavoured to arrange them in more regular order, namely, ch. 1-20; 22; 23; 25; 26; 35; 36; 45; 24; 29; 30; 31; 27; 28; 21; 34; 37; 32; 33; 38; 39; (ver. 15-18, 1-14.) 40-44; 46-52. The general subject of his prophecies is the idolatry and other sins of the Jews; the judgments by which they were threatened, with references to their future restoration and deliverance, and promises of the Messiah. They are remarkable for plain and faithful reproofs, affectionate expostulations, and awful warnings.Jeremiah's call to the prophetic office. (1-10) A vision of an almond-tree and of a seething-pot, Divine protection is promised. (11-19)1-10 Jeremiah's early call to the work and office of a prophet is stated. He was to be a prophet, not to the Jews only, but to the neighbouring nations. He is still a prophet to the whole world, and it would be well if they would attend to these warnings. The Lord who formed us, knows for what particular services and purposes he intended us. But unless he sanctify us by his new-creating Spirit, we shall neither be fit for his holy service on earth, nor his holy happiness in heaven. It becomes us to have low thoughts of ourselves. Those who are young, should consider that they are so, and not venture beyond their powers. But though a sense of our own weakness and insufficiency should make us go humbly about our work, it should not make us draw back when God calls us. Those who have messages to deliver from God, must not fear the face of man. The Lord, by a sign, gave Jeremiah such a gift as was necessary.

Study evangelism; street ministry. :) Which can be carried out anywhere, like where you live.

I leave tracts that I purchase (Chick Tracts, online)

on the ground at Lowes, Home Depot, Goodwill, Subway sandwiches, anyplace with a lot of foot traffic. Bus benches, park benches, bleachers.

If anyone ask questions of you, tell of the faith that YOU have personally. Our testimonies are heart-crafted by Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:17

Hello, I'm not sure death would be the right word for it, but maybe transformed into a spiritual body and maybe being stripped of the old earthly body. The scripture says we will be caught up in the air, but the rest is my own personal belief which everyone seems to have a different view of and the speculating isn't a salvation issue. God bless.

Kurt,

Here is a scripture I just found for you : Psalms 25:16-18

I believe you can forgive now. Matthew 6:14, Mark 11:25,

In the last few years GOD has placed forgiveness on my thoughts for people, some had already passed. Some wrongs I had forgotten but as I remembered, GOD would remind me to forgive.

There are moments we have deep regrets, especially when a loved one is passed on. I have prayed similarly as you & felt peace because nothing is impossible with GOD, Luke 1:37, Mark 10:27, Luke 18:27, Matthew 19:26,

Thank you.

God bless

Thankyou very much for the reply. It is a great help.

God bless

Moses meeting with GOD, Exodus 3:2-14, Exodus 24, Exodus 33, Exodus 40,

Hopefully these are helpful

Carl,

I would like to echo what Kay has said. I completely agree her. I honestly believe that the tough circumstances we go through as believers, whether it be physical ailment, sickness, loss of possessions, or whatever the case might be, all those circumstances are put before us to teach us how to place our complete trust in Christ. It took me many years to figure it out, but when things were going great in my life, I found it easy to thank God and give Him praise. But when hardships would come, my focus was always on what I needed to do to work out whatever it was I was going through instead of placing all my cares and troubles on the Lord and trusting that He would work it out.

I think the best answer I would give her would be to give her situation to the Lord, ask Him in prayer for His will to be done, and then accept whatever He does, knowing that the situation might get better, might remain the same, might even get worse, but knowing that it is His will she is surrendering to in prayer.

Yes you're my brother now, if you're a believer! Matthew 12:50, Mark 3:35, 2Thessalonians 3:13, 1Thessalonians 5:26, Philippians 4:21, 1Timothy 5:1, Matthew 23:8, Galatians 4:31, 1Peter 3:8, Ephesians 1:5,

Hopefully helpful

Louis,

The word separated comes from the Greek word that means to be set apart. So Paul was set apart by God for God's purpose. That's what it means to be separated. Something else in Romans 1:1 is that Paul was not called "to be" an apostle. He was an apostle by calling. It literally reads a called apostle, not called to be an apostle, but a called apostle.

It tells us what kind of apostle he is. He's called by God. He's not appointed by man. It's not even his own choosing or ambition. But he's an apostle of Jesus Christ by calling. God separated him for a purpose just like He does all believers. Not all believers are separated and set apart to be an apostle, but every believer is called. Every believer is somebody who has responded to the calling. It is not something that we decided to do. We responded to His call.

We also have been separated. Every believer has a function in the body of Christ. We're not just saved by Jesus in order to go to heaven and have our sins forgiven, but we actually have a function. We participate in the body of Christ as we're transformed and changed, and as we serve our function in which Christ has separated us for.

No, I'm sorry but the rapture does exist. Modern theologians started denying it about 20-years ago as a new replacement theological trend. YouTube videos and false doctrine social media "preachers" have been misleading people on this in the last decade.

The Church will be removed from the earth BEFORE the appearing of the Antichrist ( 2nd Thessalonians 2:7,8). There isn't one verse in the entire Bible which indicates that the Church will go through the Tribulation period. In fact, if you want proof of a Pretribulation Rapture, you'll find it simply by studying the Bible. If we compare Scriptures having to do with the Translation of the Church (i.e., the Rapture), with those passages relating to the setting up of Christ's Kingdom, one can only reasonably conclude that it would be utterly IMPOSSIBLE for these two events to occur simultaneously. Let's look at some of the comparisons:

Matthew 25:31,32 - "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory. And before him shall be gathered all nations" Carefully notice that Jesus is going to sit upon His throne in Jerusalem when He returns, and the nations of earth will be gathered before Him to be judged. How can this fact be reconciled with 1st Thessalonians 4:17, which states that the saints will be caught up together to meet with the Lord in the air?

If people stuck with the simple prophetic truths in the Bible and stopped listening to internet preachers...all this denial about the rapture, tribulation, 2nd coming, etc...wouldn't have become so contrived and over inflated. I see the modern church reaching a contradictory point of twisting Scripture and confusing masses to the point of eventually just denying everything.

1Samuel 9, - 1Samuel 10, tells the account 1Samuel 11:15,

Why do you ask?

There are many kings that have the ages when they started to reign, sometimes we can immediately see & understand the significance of the age being disclosed such as the very young kings. Others are a mystery, not all kings have their ages revealed.

It does mention the age of Saul's son when he reigned during the days David reigned as the kingdom was divided between David & Saul's household.

Jeremiah was talking about himself as beining a child not a future child a now child behavior the Almighty God was talking to jeremiah after all the almighty put his hand over jeremiah mouth so that Gods word could be a blessing to his people

Bless you, Carl, for being such a caring friend. Keep coming back for encouragement. I haven't always been healed when I ask for it, too. Just don't stop asking. Certainly search yourself and ask God to show you anything that needs to be confessed. HE already knows all we've done that might offend Him.

I'm sending some scriptures you are to give to your friend so she can prevail in prayer. Pray the scripture and then personalize it. Don't give up. Realize too that Ephesians 6, shows us that we're to be strong and FIGHT BACK WITH ALL OUR MIGHT against the SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY and THE SPIRIT OF DEATH. Bind them and cast them into outer darkness of dry places. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

It is helpful to bring praise and worship music into the home. It changes the atmosphere. She might listen to older albums of John Michael Talbot through YouTube on her phone. One song in particular, "Heal Me."

It would be useful for her to listen to some teachings of Charles Capps: Authority of the Belived; Gods Creative Power for Healing. On YouTube. He was a great teacher; and is with the Lord now. But we have his books to read and videos online.

She needs to encourage herself in the Lord. Pray the scriptures I gave, and put her name in them. Also to repent for weak faith and despair. Ephesians 6 every day!

Myself included; Satan would love to snuff out our faith and beat us down, so we'll give up. Get LOUD in those prayers.

Come back here and let us minister to you and your friend. Someone on here might gain insight through the testing of her faith.

I know Jesus loves you both. Mishael

Hey Mark,

The times of Noah were horrendous as in Genesis 6:11. As you said sons of God are used 5 times in OT Genesis 6 Job 1 Job 2 and Job 38 all referring to angels. It is used 6 times in the NT John 1 Romans 8 Philippians 2 and 1 John 3, my understanding is referring to those who have accepted and have faith in Jesus.

There are many opinions on fallen angels, devils/demons. There are evil beings on this earth today, we see in Daniel battles that may be going on that we are not aware of, Daniel 10. There is a set of angels that were different and for what they did, God locked them in chains of darkness until the judgment 2 Peter 2:4 Jude 1:6, and others can still roam the earth.

In verses 6:4 daughters of men having children, they became mighty men of old. The Hebrew word for old is m-'-w-lm, meaning defined as long duration, antiquity, futurity, for ever, ever, everlasting, evermore, perpetual, old, ancient, or world. It was translated everlasting 110 times, forever 136 times.

Giants we see before and after the flood as said in Genesis 6:4 "and also after that". The word giant is Nephilim and also the Rephaim (or Rephaites, the terrible ones), You can find them throughout the OT and their descriptions are not just a tall big man, Numbers 13:33 Amos 2:9 and more.

When God created everything the seed is after his kind, a dog will have a dog, a bear will have a bear, and so on, a man and woman may have a tall big man but it will not be a giant. Angels can on earth have a body that can eat, and drink, Genesis 18, fiscally wrestle Genesis 32 and we are told how we should entertain strangers because they may be an angel, Hebrews 13.

Just a few things you may look at. If an angel left his first estate and came down to earth could he mate? Was that why God locked them in darkness and other bad angels and Satan can still roam the earth? After the flood, there were only 8 where did these giants come from?

Interesting subject,

God bless,

Paul begins by identifying himself. First, he understands himself to be a servant of Jesus Christ. The Greek word used here for servant is doulos. A doulos in Greek culture was a "bondservant," someone who had sold himself into slavery to another person either for a specific amount of time or indefinitely. Paul considered himself to be owned by Christ.

Paul next calls himself an apostle. The word apostle means "a person who is sent by another to represent him and his authority." In the New Testament, the apostles of Jesus Christ were considered to speak with the authority of Christ Himself. The 12 disciples of Jesus became known as His apostles. Paul became an apostle later when Christ revealed Himself to Paul and called him to fill that role ( Acts 9:15). Later, the other apostles of Jesus confirmed that was Paul's calling ( Galatians 2:7-9).

So Paul begins his letter by making it clear to his readers that he is both servant and representative of Jesus Christ. What he tells them in this letter will carry the authority of Christ Himself.

I hope this answers your question..Mishael

Finally, Paul identifies the mission Christ has given to him. He understands himself to be "set apart" for the gospel-the "good news"-of God. This letter to the Roman Christians, in fact, is a thorough and carefully-constructed presentation of exactly what the gospel is and why it is so significant.

Comment: this chapter is detailing Paul's process of being called to minister in Jesus's Name and with the Anointing. Luke 4:18

We see the Trinity ( THE KINGDOM ) all the way back to the Ark of the Covenant in the most Holy Place above the Mercy Seat were the 2 Churubim of Glory.. Exodus 25 : 18 kjv...And they were 3 distinct beings...The Father dwelt between the 2 Churubim of Glory...And the ark of the Covenant was not built by any mans plans nor by the levitical Priest hood...Its was from God himself when Moses was with God on the mount for 40 days...See said HE that you make all things as was shown you on the Mount... Exodus 25 : 40...This is y i believe in the Trinity it was not of man's doings it was all Gods doings and it was in a tent...The Tabernacle was in a tent...Thus God ALMIGHTY DWELT IN A TENT with the 2 Churubim of GLORY.

.....And we read that Abraham dwelt in a tent with Issac and Jacob...Son and GRANSON...Heirs with him of the same Promise.

.....When Moses was on the mount with God for 40 days He saw the actual Kingdom and the 2 Churubim of GLORY and he built the ARK OF THE Covenant as an exact copy of the heavenly Kingdom...An Earthly EXPRESSION OF A HEAVENLY KINGDOM and it was a Trinity...3 distinct beings but 1 kingdom ...And they were all 3 related as Father son and GRANSON...The FATHER cd not have shared his GLORY with the 2 churubim of Glory unless they were all 3 related as Father son and Granson...Just like Abraham Issac and Jacob...Thats what Abraham means exaulted Father.. Father Abraham cd not have shared his Promise with Issac and Jacob unless they were all 3 related...k lemme go

You're right. There are some useful videos on YouTube about the Jezebel Spirit. It is demonic. It likes to seduce men of power or authority. It goes after women as much as it does the men. You could talk to your Pastor about a future teaching on this.

The Bible warns us to be alert.

Perhaps this is so He can express all of His Being, including mercy, wrath, justice, forgiveness. Without sin, these aspects of His Being could not be expressed at all and a God Who is absolutely complete and perfect would not leave any attribute latent and unable to be expressed.

Welcome, David, may you richly profit from God's living words and grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Hello Mary,

I would like to add that one who meditates on God's Word is one who reads it often as well as thinking about what it means in relations to the Words of God as a whole. So, to do this one needs to read as much Scripture as is appropriate for the length of time they have been in Christ. The Holy Spirit will guide new believers and seasoned ones to what part of His Word He wishes you to consider at the present time. Follow this lead. It is also good to attempt to do a read through of the whole Bible. Maybe one will read the Gospels through, then Acts/Epistles. Then move on to Psalms or begin in Genesis to read the Pentateuch. Taking the Scriptures a section at a time in this way helps to overcome the large amount of text that is in the Bible.

Finally, I would like to add that one who meditates on the Word is one who has their mind set on God and His ways. Therefore they will view life and circumstances through the lens of known Scripture and recalling to mind or re-reading Scripture to apply to the circumstance.
