Brother David,

I agree with your entire post, and you nailed it when you said; "This is where the enemy tricks many christians out of there spiritual walk and inheritance."

Well said 100%. Amen!

God Bless

Amen Brother Cowboy, We need to stay prayed up - I like that!!

God Bless.

Paul 's words: "I die daily." May mean many things. It may refer to the fact that we sin daily, and sin is always deadly. Therefore, we repent daily and confess to God that we need forgiveness. Then we rise daily, having been restored to life.

It can mean that daily we are crucified with Christ, and daily we rise to life inn Christ. It could mean that daily we crucify the sinful nature and allow the life of Christ to reign in our life.

I, too, believe it is a daily commitment to die to sin and live for Christ. This allows to walk by the Spirit of God and not by the fleshly, sinful nature. Whatever you feed, grows stronger, as some say.

Hello, willful sin is a conscious decision to do something you know is wrong. For example: tell a lie, steal something from another person, assault another person, curse at another person, etc. People can also sin in ways we are not aware of: doing what is right from mixed motives (to obey God out of love and to impress others wit our good works at the same time) or harboring unloving feelings for others such as: anger, jealousy, coveting, unforgiveness. There are other examples. In the one instance: we know what we ought to do, and don't do it, or know what we should not do and do it.

In the other, we are unaware that what we are doing or saying or thinking or desiring is wrong.

Haha, I have some sticky keys, especially "h". Sorry about the errors. I'll have to get my computer whiz son to come over and service my laptop. He can build, repair, retrieve data from computers, create code, all of that computer science stuff. Way beyond me.

God bless you!

Sister Sacha, I believe the DAY, of neither light or dark, began at Pentecost and will continue until Christ has put all things under his feet, then the EVENING will BE LIGHT, and he will turn the Kingdom back to the Father who gave it to him, and GOD (LIGHT) will be ALL IN ALL.

Good Morning Mishael,

Good post. I think that Adam an d Eve's DNA and was unflawed. This DNA and had no mutations. This DNA did possess the genes to express variety in skin color, eye color, hair texture, etc. (Things we associate wit "race", although I believe we are all one race, with some distinct genetic variations in certain groups). I agree that the confusion of languages at Babel prompted people to group together according to language, and then these group migrated together to all parts of the earth. At the time of Babel the earth masses (continents) may have been more closely connected than they are now and began to drift apart in the time of Peleg, which says that the earth was divided during is lifetime.

When people began to live in language groups and interbred within these groups, certain genetic characteristics began to emerge as dominant genes. This most likely was how groups began to arise wit lighter or darker skin color, etc. Blue eyes are said to have emerged from a mutation in a man in the Caucasus mountain area. These people from the Caucasus area populated much of Europe and the blue eye mutation continued to be expressed in certain groups, as they continued to migrate across Europe. Green eye color (mine) is the rarest of color. Grey and amber eyes are also rarer than blue. Brown is the overwhelming dominant eye color in humans.

I have not done any DNA testing personally. China processes those tests and is collecting DNA from across the world. China, so, I do not want China to have my DNA information. I believe that China is doing tis in order to create deadly viruses that target certain DNA groups. Evil, evil, evil!

I do believe all kinds of cloning is going on of both humans, and animals, present day and extinct(think Jurassic Park). This is being done in clandestine ways. They may be even manipulating DNA to make hybrids. Evil, evil, evil!

CRT is meant to divide and people along racial lines pit one race against another, fostering hate.

Brother Earl,

I believe the same observation could be of many church-going folks, the building with whatever name that's put on it has become the church, not the people, lost in routines, many are called but few are chosen. It is sad when attendance is put above all. When Jesus first came was for the lost sheep of Israel, and to fulfill the law and the prophets. To confirm and fulfill the first and confirm the New in, the likeness of sinful flesh, what we see in Daniel 9:27 that many put at the end time.

I agree hell is not a place for the condemned and paradise is not a place for the righteous as holding places of the dead. I have not found one verse that say we go to heaven. In Revelation 20:14 we see the last enemy; death and its holding place hell (the grave) are cast into the lake of fire. In scripture when we die the grave is our home of corruption and if the same Spirit dwell in us, we will be raised by the Spirit that raised Christ, in incorruption in our immortal glorified body, death is swallowed up in victory.

When Jesus first came the land was highly influenced by Greco-Roman philosophy. Whether we believe it or not it still has influence on today, the meaning of death, immortal souls, monasticism that Jesus called Nicolaitans, and more.

As we see in Matthew 16 and Matthew 18 Jesus gave the keys of the kingdom and what is bound or loosed in earth will be done so in heaven. The reason of all the parables was the mysteries of the kingdom was not for them to know but for those who were chosen.

I agree in most of your post but if I understand correctly those after resurrection being brought into the fold. I struggle lining that up with the white throne judgment of the rest of the dead. Revelation 20:11-15. These are not all lost people, there will be some not cast into the lake of fire because the book of life is opened and only those not written in it will be cast in to the lake of fire.

Have a great day and God bless,

RLW

God Bless Matilda Your answer 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18. The Hope of The Return. Praise God

Sister Sacha, I believe we start in TOTAL DARKNESS (no knowledge of God) and we end in TOTAL LIGHT (full knowledge of God).

Zechariah 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

Zechariah 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, or night: but it shall come to pass, that at EVENING TIME IT SHALL BE LIGHT.

Sister Sacha, I have heard you say, through you written comments, God reveals new truths to you every day.

If this not happening to ALL OF US, then we are not getting enough food and water (that's a parable).

We ought to have this happening, up until the day we depart this world.

Sister Sacha, thank you and God blessings on you.

We as, the called out, don't at this point see everything alike, because we are at different stages of maturity. There is a day COMING when we will all be in PERFECT UNITY.

I keep seeing comments about willful sin, what is willful sin, is it different than regular sin.

Good morning again. There is a nice song ready to listen to on the November 19 update on the Haiti kidnapping.

Google Christian Aid Ministries, at the top of the page click on the update and it will take you to the page. At the bottom of the page is the link to the song dedicated to Jesus Christ by the songwriter. Ambassadors in His health, we can pray that their message is true.

:)

Thank you so much Earl . You and I don't agree on everything but we have more in common than not if you know what I mean . I despise it when I hear so called preachers in my local town centre , aaaaall they do is insult people and preach that God is going to send them all to hell , even people who have never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel are going to hell to be tortured for eternity by some pointy tailed cloven hoofed monstrosity of their own vicious imagination . It drives me crazy , no one ever stops to listen to them or talk to them except me . They've got my number now though , when I walk towards them to ask them to show me where they are getting their info from they try to run away from me , it's easy for them to do that as I need crutches to walk outside . The first few times I managed to engage them and one of them looked embarrassed because he couldn't back up anything he was saying from scripture , the second was gobsmaked by this middle aged woman who could run rings around him and the third actually put his hand on my face to push me away and called me a devil . Preachers of lies and hate and fear . We only need to fear One and that is God , the Holy One of Israel . Christ is coming , you had better know what you believe in and it had better be the Bible , Old as well as New .

Brother Dan

AMAN Vary well stated for Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If Paul die daily what makes us so special are we better than Paul do we not need to die daily also. To die daily is to repent daily the old sinful man must die daily so the new man in Christ Jesus can live. If you do not repent daily than sin will build up in your live. And the old sinful man will take in your life again. Sometimes we sin without knowing it because of that old Adam's nature. We do things and not realizing that we have sinned. Therefore, we as Christians must repent are die daily.

God Bless

Stay prayed up and ready to go up

Bro Dan Something to think about when we get born again we repent is the word metanoia[which means to have a change of mind or different mind set then remission of sins is aphesis[ the sending away like its gone and forgotten].

In Acts 2:38 the word says repent get a different mind set then get born again and receive remission of sins

forgiven and forgotten by believing Romans 10:9+10. Now the work in this is to continue in the good works of walking in faith not that were saved by works two totally different things. Now when we sin not on purpose that is where we confess

the sin we currently have done 1 John 6-10 and were back in harmony the state of being in fellowship but at no time were we not his son. Notice where we can be tricked if we lie and say we don't sin dishonest in our walk.

This is where the enemy tricks many christians out of there spiritual walk and inheritance.

There is a major different biblically between repent remission and forgiveness first one our job second one Gods job third one out job and Gods already done Job in Christ jesus.

Now this is the age of Grace not saying a believer has a license to do whatever he wants that is a total abuse of our freedom in christ his desire should be to do what God wants, unfortunately like you shared there are people

that think it is ok to do whatever they want no its not, but that is the trick of the enemy the believer will loose His love joy peace of mind and go back to carnal ways but His spirit is perfect two totally different things. God Bless Just sharing Bro.

Hello S Spenser . I have definately heard more than one say that they are not baptized and more than one give a lengthy exposition on why they think it's not required . I'm not naming names , sorry if you think that's a cop out , I know who they are , they know who they are and you will know also if you dig long and deep enough . They have the choice , I accept that totally but to tell others that it's ok not to is a serious thing to me .

Brother Ronald:

This is just an observation of the people around the town I live in, and not an indictment of them are anyone on this forum.

Most people don't read God's word, much less study it.

Most have no knowledge of the Kingdom of God, as taught by scripture. They have been taught, believe in Jesus and go to heaven, or if you don't believe, then you go to hell, it's all up yo you.

They are taught out of the New Testament, with most, seldom ever studying, in depth, the Law and Prophets.

When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God is at hand, there was no written New Testament, he taught out of the Law and Prophets.

Jesus speaking one of his parables said:

Luke 16:31 .....If they hear not Mosses (law) and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Acts 28:23 And when they had appointed Paul a day, there came many unto him into his lodging; to whom, Paul expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets, from morning to evening.

Before the Old Testament was translated into other languages, there is no mention of HELL. One would assume that if there were such a place of torture for sin, the prophets would have never cease warning people. Yet not one word concerning a place called Hell. Likewise not one mention of a place of eternal bliss, called heaven.

The Kingdom of God is ON EARTH (CHRIST IN YOU), Christ has been calling man into his Kingdom for two thousand years. Those that are NOT CAUSED to hear his call in this AGE, will be resurrected back to their flesh, and Christ and those that WERE CAUSED to hear his call, will judge the earth, and bring the remaining sheep into the fold. This is very evident in the Law and Prophets.

In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, man uses this parable to teach the doctrine of heaven and hell, Yet JESUS SAID, if they want believe the Law and Prophets, which DOES NOT teach heaven and hell.

Good morning, There is health in being an ambassador of faithfulness. Proverbs 13:17

But what does this ambassador represent and and of whom does he speak?

The King of Peace reigns in health. It is a true message for every ambassador.

God Bless our faithfulness.

Hello may god bless you for the work you are doing I am a Christian been so for the last 5 years, my query is when the rapture takes place as is according to 1 thess 4:17 those who are on earth that belong to Christ will caught up with him in the air, does that mean that those who are alive in Christ will not die and go to grave? will our bodies then be changed and we receive our new bodies immediately? If this will be the process what a day that will be.

hope to hear from you soon, God bless you

Hi Mishael I believe whatever life form was on earth before God formed Adam and eve was between Genesis 1:1 and 1:3 that is why in genesis 1:28 to replenish the earth, whatever happened between genesis 1:2 had to be catastrophic

and absolutely destructive in purpose. I don't believe it was of God.

Brother David,

I appreciate your input. We are on the same page regarding discontinuing willful sin.

I was using my message in response to Jesse, and to also to agree with Cowboy, that I do believe (based on scripture) we can lose salvation by willful sinning.

Many Christians today believe they can continue to live their worldly lives, continue to sin, and still be assured of salvation. This is a very popular belief, and the scriptures are clear - that we must repent, and become obedient. So to continue with this train of thought, We have to change, and participate in our own salvation! Paul states in various scripture - in addition to receiving from Christ - we must also struggle and take action on our part! Yes, I also agree with you that we must strive to be sin free, and when we fall we must seek forgiveness, from God through his son Jesus.

God Bless.

Hi Before the incarnation of Jesus My understanding the context of Luke 4:18 is he was in Nazareth of Galilee where he had been raised own home town and keep something in mind these people new Him and the family. When he opened the scrolls and found the place where it was written, [some thing to consider right here is that the scrolls he was reading from had no chapters headings nothing just straight manuscript form] verse 18+19 an interesting detail about that is he closed the book right there and said verse 21 this day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears I.e. I'm the anointed one! This was him anouncing in His own home town the beginning of his Ministry.

Also when he read from from Isaiah 61:1 and not all of two he stopped in the middle because the vengeance of our God does not happen until the Apocalypse when the enemies butt is kicked and all unbelief is wiped out.

From verse 22 to 27 He's reproving them for their unbelief then it gets hot and they get angry to the point they want to kill him and he walks through them. That's why anytime he went back into his own country he could not do many mighty works because of their unbelief Mathew 13:54-58. You have got to believe to receive anything from God. Like I said this is my understanding.

Hi Mishael I'm convinced by scripture that what legally God purchased back for us through Jesus Christ when we are walking in fellowship is as it says in Ephesians 4:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly[over and above anything according to His Word] above all we ask or think according to the power [exercised authority dunamis]

that worketh in us. We are in a greater position than Adam because Adam blew it when he sinned, we sin not by purpose

can get forgiveness by confessing broken fellowship and get back on track no other time in History has that been made

possible by our Father God. By the way like you share in the name of Jesus Christ the enemy has been defeated!

Hi Gigi If you want to have some fun with the truth of Gods word in regards to stars and planets look up e.w. bullinger's Witness of the stars, fantastic piece of biblical research with incredible detail. Just something to consider, I believe it will bless your life knowing you taught and are into deep research. God Bless It can be found free on line

Gigi A few principles I keep in my head all the time in life or situations do not assume of presume anything because that's your natural thinking pattern possibly blocking what God might be telling you to do. This is totally different than common sense planning ahead. One of my favorite scriptures I memorised Philippians 4:8 helps keep the head clear of any negatives. One other thing no matter how a person treats me I remember a certain Guy on a Cross that said forgive them father for they know not what they do! We have no problems forgiving others if you remember what you've been delivered from. I'm no body special, like all of here doing my best to believe and walk in the deliverance paid in full for.

We need Chris here. Adam was FORMED from the dust. Adams name, means RED. (There's our first color mention). God sculpted him.

**In Genesis I circled all the words: created, formed, made. I'm sure the Hebrew interpretation gives more light. God created DNA and Atoms. They're still studying that. All is not discovered yet. I'm sure they're cloning people; trying to bring a copy back from the dead. It's Creepy! Robot people! I hate SIRI. She gets it wrong half the time.

I have suspected that maybe at the Tower of Babel, when the Godhead was discussing the problem together and decided to change languages. People separated and settled in other areas based on language. Maybe the skin colors changed; so if people saw a certain color, they did or did not know that language? I did a whole study on this color thing a year ago. What was notable is that people from Africa, Middle East, all over actually; immigrated by boats, to South and North America and Europe, Islands. It was said some Egyptians were dark skinned due to sun exposure. I don't believe that theory.

I dont believe in UFO's. Clearly from archaeology and other sciences, before Genesis; there were sort of human looking people on earth. They've found bones, dinosaur bones, etc. they were male, female; found infant bones, cave drawings. Scientists have all kind of THEORIES.

I used to tell people that we are all going to get the answers we seek, in Heaven. I doubt seriously all angels in heaven look alike, don't you?

I'm thinking in heaven there's going to be a Genesis 101 class. :/

And now CRT. I'm against it just because the Bible doesn't stress it. God wants believers not to intermarry with UN-believers. Period.

I'm happy God likes colors, shapes, feathers, no feathers, tails, no tails, hooves or chicken feet and MORE. Like every color mixture under the Sun

Yup, the game is out in the open now and parents do need to step up and fight, maybe even homeschool or private school.

it the public schools where it hurts, lowering enrollment.

I saw the big shift over the past ten years and schools are radically different.

I would not send my kids to public schools today if they were young.
