    2 Corinthians 5:8 | View whole chapter

    We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

    2 Corinthians 5:6

    Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

    1 Corinthians 5:3

    For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

    Karl McGuire sr.

    Hey Karl my understanding is, may someone else have another view. John was given a vision of the new earth and where we will be, and in verse 10 we are told the time is at hand. Our time on this earth is short like in ( James 4:14), and we may not be here tomorrow and at death that's it, the door is shut there is no redemption after death. The righteous will still be righteous and the wicked will still be wicked. Verse 11 is a warning and a call for those that have not repented and excepted Jesus as their savior and time is running out.

    We are all naturally unjust, and filthy because of sin in us, some of us have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. A righteous man is only righteous by the righteousness of Jesus. After the thousand years and judgment, only the righteous and holy will walk through those gates into the New Jerusalem, and verses 11 and 15 are those outside that are cast into the lake of fire, as we see in ( Revelation 21:8).

    Dogs were not looked on as we look at them today, they were mostly wild cruel unclean filthy animals highly disliked, Jesus associated a woman of Canaan with dogs, but nothing unclean will enter the city. We have a choice, eternity with God and Jesus in beautiful new earth or the lake of fire.

    God bless,

    Sister English Sasha,

    Thank you for your kind words. I really do enjoy reading your caring spiritual responses to others here, and I know they come from the heart of a kind and generous person. You are very blessed with the gift of the Holy Spirit as it is readily seen in your postings here.

    May God's Holy Spirit continue to light your path forward!

    God Bless.

    You should tell your workplace that you've already spoken to the manager. God is the higher authority. We are of God or created by God in the flesh, and work for God in service to God in the spirit. "Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; 16 and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19 And he said to him, "Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well." Faith heals. Not blind belief.

    Can you tell me where it says this in scripture? Thanks!

    Reply to Questions in 1 Chronicles 24 by Sacha

    Hey Sacha! My prayer is simple - all your inquiries are genuine and that you truly seek the truth. I say this because your questions remind me of the time that the apostle Paul was on Mars Hill in Athens ( Acts 17) talking to the people gathered there.

    All of your questions are readily answered and covered in the scriptures. I recommend you read the KJV of the Bible. The questions you raised are not anything to be surprised at, nor to get excited about. You have not stated that you don't believe in the devil, just in a certain behavior by him.

    I agree with you about hell, because there are the ignorant and sinners in heaven also (like me), and the demons don't do the torturing in hell.

    I agree with you whole heartedly, that I too do not believe "any" will go to heaven, only a certain group (of which I am a part of).

    As far as the scriptures you have referenced - Mark 13: 32 and Genesis 22- to truly understand them you must read and study it in its entirety. I mean the whole chapter should be read and especially the complete Bible.

    However, truth cannot be understood unless you have the same mind as the Author of the Scriptures. You must be born again to understand the whole counsel of the Lord God Jesus Christ.

    From your other posts on this forum, you seem to be knowledgeable of the Words of God. I thank you for your kind words of blessing from your god. I extend to you the blessings of the true God of the Scriptures of whom I serve. May His face shine on you and your family.

  • Chris - In Reply - 4 years ago
    BBBob. How do you understand Matthew 16:23? Was it Peter or Satan who was standing before Jesus? If it was Peter, why did Jesus speak to him as Satan? Maybe, 1 John 3:12 has a similar application: that Cain was driven by Satan in what he did to his brother & wasn't a product of some type of strange birth of a spirit with a human being. And the same could be said of John 8:44.

  • English sacha - In Reply on Psalms 120 - 4 years ago
    Hi Kimberly , the names at the begining of each verse are the names of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet . You may also notice that each verse is divided into eight sentences . There may be some significance to that but I don't know what it is , I'm guessing only the writer knows for absolute certain. Enjoy .

  • English sacha - In Reply on Ezekiel 23 - 4 years ago
    In the first year that I read the Bible I read it seven times , I've been reading it every day for twenty seven years and I'm still learning new things from it , that's just part of the joy of it . The Bible teaches us this : if you think you know everything......every time it teaches me that I don't ! I don't think I will in this life . Keep at it , and witches aren't real , some of them think they are but most of them know that none of them are real , ' be it into you as you have believed ' .

  • Adam - In Reply on Ezekiel 23 - 4 years ago
    Hi Andre, that's great that you've read the whole Bible. Just because you don't remember a verse doesn't mean the Bible is automatically corrupted, however. Many others have read this too and would agree it hasn't changed. God's word I believe is alive. We likely won't comprehend everything the first read and often the next time through we learn something new. Sometimes the holy spirit may show you something. Also, this website has the original printing of the KJV to compare to the current one and the meaning is the same. God bless.
  • Guineith on Isaiah 5 - 4 years ago
    King James spoke Scottish Gaelic (Gaidhlig)as a first language, because he was a Scottish King and a Highlander Chief, and in Hebrew the word for "Grave" (Abode of the Dead) is Seol. In Gaidhlig, there is a similar sounding word which means to plant, to place, to put, to go on a journey, to sail (Seol). This would include to plant in the ground (as in a tree) or to put in a grave, or to travel on a journey (as the soul would, after Death (except the Gaelic word is a verb, not a noun). So, on a play of words, the Hebrew Seol was kept, and because, in Gaelic, you cannot begin a word with the letter H, Seol was lenited into Sheol (changes meaning from "put" to "to put" or "put" in the past tense) as in, to make (or have made) someone to have a "dirt nap" or go on a "Long Journey" (never coming back, dead!)

    The joke or pun is, Sheol in Gaelic actually sounds like the English word Hell, and that's the whole idea...

    The Hebrew word for hand is Yad, the def. also includes the arm! So this vaccine is called ( world order ) WO 202020 060606 by Bill Gates who developed it! Red flag no. 1, Red flag no. 2 It contains a luminescent chemical called Luciferase! Red flag no.3 it changes your God given DNA by deleting it with messenger RNA! This is the fallen angels trying to mingle the iron with the clay from Daniel! This "gene therapy" is full of nanotech graphene oxide it's in the hydrogel delivery system of the injection! It doesn't even qualify as a vaccine according to the FDA or CDC standards! Moderna and Pfizer admit that they are hacking the human genome! They say they are downloading an operating system into human beings! When a vaxxed person puts their arm and hand under a black light , their entire arm lights up! People have scanned their arm and their number shows up on the screen!

    I read the entire bible front to back, started in 1999 and finished in 2001. Then started again.Took me 3 years the second time. I NEVER READ THIS VERSE BEFORE IN MY LIFE NOR REMEMBER THIS PART IN THE BIBLE. Our "holy" book has been tampered with by witches.

    Wesley's Notes for Matthew 19:24

    19:24 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, (a proverbial expression,) than for a rich man to go through the strait gate: that is, humanly speaking, it is an absolute impossibility. Rich man! tremble! feel this impossibility; else thou art lost for ever!

    People's Bible Notes for Matthew 19:24

    Mt 19:24 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man (i.e., as already explained, one who trusts in riches) to enter into the kingdom of God. In other words, one whose trust is in wealth cannot enter at all.

  • PSALM 119 MEANING - In Reply on Psalms 120 - 4 years ago
    Psalm 119

    The focus of Psalm 119 is the supernatural power of the Bible. When we read the Bible and study the Bible and most of all apply the Bible its supernatural power flows into our lives. The Bible is modern day spinach! ... Psalm 119 verse 1 says, "How blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord.

    You can Google the scripture+verse in google; type meaning, after that. It will translate those names from the Hebrew or Greek.

    In the book of James chapter 1 verse 22 the writer tells (commands) us to "But be ye DOERS of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. When you DO something that means it will require an effort. The bible teaches us to put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. We don't change just by reading Gods word but we must respond in what it instructs us to DO. Not just hear. So it DOES take self effort. We're not getting into heaven by slipping on a banana peel, its going to have to be a life lived.

    Also, Jesus said (John3:5)" Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water (baptized, fully submerged) and of the spirit (receive the holy spirit-Gods gift to us Acts 2:38-39), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Not JUST by have faith in Jesus, which is not wrong to have faith in Jesus because we're supposed to, just FYI, but faith without works is dead being alone. Works are the acts, deeds or that which one undertakes to do to show his or her faith. It's your Labour in and for the kingdom of God. Its everything that you do as unto the Lord.
  • Carolyn - In Reply on Psalms 120 - 4 years ago
    Beautiful observation. Psalm 119 has each letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

    Each letter has symbolic, graphic, and literal meanings. It is a very rich language with very deep meanings. Search Hebrewforchristians to get deeper insight into the pictographic language.
  • GREATEST COMMANDMENT - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Matthew Chapter 22

    34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

    35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

    36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

    37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

    38 This is the first and great commandment.

    39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

    40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

    Where does Scripture SAY THAT Cain and Able had different fathers? That is fallacy totally not in the scriptures. In fact it say very CLEARLY that Adam fathered both Cain in Genesis 4:1 and. Vs 2:

    [ Gen 4:1-2 KJV] 1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

    2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

    Clearly they were not even twins.

    Probably you heard from someone that crazy twisted story...I challenge you to SEARCH the scriptures for yourself rather than #1) believe what someone told you what the Bible said and #2) find someone else who teaches the Word of God without mans doctrine or interpretation.

    Believing that God, the Creator, speaks to us in and through the Word, we can read it and study it to understand it for ourselves...we MUST else we can believe a lie. He says what He means and means what He said. Man wants to twist it - which is luciferic. Lucifer added one word to what God said and altered the whole course of mankind to fall.

    Without the Holy Ghost, who leads and guides us to ALL Truth We cannot understand the scriptures.
