List out 5 present priviledges of the believer

such great comments. Remember we live in the information times. That is good but also very bad. all this information coming at us can be the devils weapon and lies. news is 24/7 and always bad, and its usually just peoples opinions and the media must feed the animal by placing viewpoints in it continually. but they are just that, opinions, not all fact. cause we get all this news today all around the world it can depress us and that is what the devil would want to happen. try to limit your exposure to the news and all these media/technology updates. i think its the devil and is mostly lies coming at us to remove our joy and hope. my opinion. thank you all for have the courage to voice

English Sacha,

I like your attitude towards the authentic. Splendid Isolation draws me in at a time when America's decline and subsequent dismantling is inevitable. How can this possibly be a Mystery when it has been written?

Didn't Jesus say "one and one and one is three?"

I doubt you will find a Scripture verse stating the Cain was born of the evil one, i.e., Satan. Cain was Adam's first born and because of Adam's sin, Cain inherited a sinful nature, which all men born of women inherit. You man be thinking of these verses from Genesis: "And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." Genesis 4:6-7 KJV

If you mean sanctification, the words means God's grace acting to make His elect holy by purifying and alienating them from sin and the world. He is making them vessels fit for His use, purpose, and glory.

"But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:" 2Thessalonians 2:13

Jesus, Israel's Messiah, was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, not to the Gentiles. "But he [Jesus] answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matthew 15:24 Jesus commanded His apostles to go only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel with the gospel of the kingdom and not to the Samaritans or the Gentiles. "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10:5-7. When Jesus was on earth, Paul says that He ministered to the circumcision, the Jews, and not to the Samaritans or to the Gentiles. "Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:" Romans 15:8. You are mixing Paul's gospel of grace through faith with the gospel of the kingdom that Jesus and the twelve ministered to the circumcision.

This was the same problem that Paul addressed before the counsel in Jerusalem ( Acts 15) and in his letter to the Galatians. Paul said that if anybody, including angels, preached a gospel different from the gospel that he taught the Galatians, which is the gospel of grace through faith, let him be accursed, i.e., excommunicated from the faithful in the church.

Finally, Christians should heed Miles Coverdale's advice when studying Scripture:

"It shall greatly help ye to understand the Scriptures if thou mark not only what is spoken or written, but of whom and to whom, with what words, at what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances, considering what goeth before and what followeth after."

May the Lord Jesus Christ grant you mercy and renew your mind so that you can accept reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. Amen.

Hi Paul I don't see what you are referring to.

John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

It's time for a fresh out pouring!!

Genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin from which God chose Saul to be the first king of Israel as the people wanted.

Though we may not recognize these names, God does! Just as My Lord God knows the names of all His righteous children. I am righteous because of the blood of Jesus Christ the Lord God of Heaven, Earth and all the Universe. I am listed in the Lamb's Book of life because I trusted in the Sacred and Blessed work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross at Calvary. "Not of works that I have done, Nothing but the Blood of Jesus"

May the Lord shine His face on all who call on Him. May the joy of the Lord be on you and yours as you walk in His Word and Wisdom. God bless us all as we await the coming of the Lord. May our leaders and those in authority learn to govern righteously and fervently in the Name of The Lord Jesus Christ. September 2021

There are Five things in "Spiritual Growth".

Alms ( food ) , First Fruits ( Your Children ), Missionaries , Tithes ( Ten Percent of Monthly Income ), and Offering.

Do you P.R.O.F.I.T. from your ministry?

Prayer Reading Offering Fasting Intercession Tithing?

And you're getting this information from where? Is this first count information that you yourself investigated and tallied? Are you at these hospitals that are "packed full?" Have you gone to the hospital yourself, but was turned away due a full hospital? This is a honest inquiry.

Job Auta Fruit is an indicator of spiritual growth and spiritual growth is determined on what you keep in your mind and act on. Things to put in mind Philippians 4:6, 4:8, Ephesians 4:22-32, 2 Peter 1:1-8 notice verse 8 for if these things be in you and abound they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Look at Galatians 5:22-25 is the product of what we put on in the mind and walk in with believing action. In His Service

2 Corinthians 5:3

Adam,

I'm sorry, I really only responded to a small part of what you wrote:

I also have a good friend who is a believer but lives by the ways of the world. And I also take the bible - every word of the Word - literally and seriously. I'm with you in worrying, I know it's hard to see the people you care about wandering off the narrow path. But if they're practicing sin, they are backslidden. If they think they know better than God what's right and wrong for them, or what's good and what's bad for them, they are committing original sin. That's the pride of life, and the very cause of the fallen state in which we all find ourselves. God can help them, He will leave the 99 to retrieve the 1, that's a promise! And He is faithful to keep His promises.

Hi Dan Brother believing is the starting place because without believing Romans 10:9+10 you cannot receive the faith of Jesus Christ to have the ability to walk in the grace. Many take no action because they never really believed better known as lip service or not believing in their HEART. Those can't change because they never really believed. The sadducees and pharisees were masters at having head knowledge of scripture but in their hearts far from God. Jesus Christ pointed that out several times, I believe he said ye HYPOCRITE. Nothing changes just different apparel, but by there fruits ye shall know them. In His Service

Hi English Sacha,

There are definitely some people who come to church to be seen, and that's always been the case. People tend to expose their bodies for attention (which they think of as love), or for money; sometimes both (like with actors and actresses on TV). The world has trained everyone to think we need carnal attention or else we're not valuable. All we need is to be pleasing in the sight of God, but we forget that and try to be crowd pleasers. I also wear a little bit of mascara and I color in my eyebrows lightly, because I'm pale and I rubbed off a lot of the hair on my brows trying to fix them when I was younger - doesn't want to grow back, now. But I talk to God about it in my mind pretty frequently, I apologize for thinking I could do a better job than He did on putting me together. :- And I thank Him for being my eyes and guiding my hands while I attempt a slight enhancement - on my own, I can get ham fisted and heavy handed about it. Not to mention asymmetrical. At any rate, I hope He forgives me my little vanities and I do my best to keep my thoughts humble and grateful. He blesses me with so much and keeps me from the struggles I would otherwise create for myself.

Images are an obsession for people in the world, everyone wants to be seen as their best possible image, we just can't see very clearly and don't understand how others are perceiving us. If someone looks like they're lost in worldly ways, they probably are, and we should pray for them to delight in pleasing God instead of striving for the carnal attention of a world that only wants to eat them alive. It's hard, though - I'm not a big fan of mostly naked women parading around town, either - I just keep reminding myself that I don't have any control over it, but God has all the power, and He hears my prayers.

Alex You started out saying simply stated then spent 18 lines explaining and not being understood? Where there's confusion the rest is self explanatory. In his Service

Read/study the book of John. Jesus has much to say about him and God the Father being one in the same.

John 1:48, John 3:13, John 5:18 :)

Today l see God's hidden beauty that others are not seeing. For everyone is running in their own turmoil of this morning not yet promised to them. Money, Power, Greed, no heart for the needy. Only caring for me, myself, and l. Evilness is strong in these days. People are believing lies from Satan before going into the words of their Creator. The one who created everything on this Earth for them. The kindness of the Christian's are like a needle in a haystack. For there is few in-between the Evilness that now are around in these days.

Why oh why can't you see the beauty that you should be seeing. God is sadden when He sees His creations going to be controlled by the Evil of these days, and not going to His Words that he has promised in the Bible. Going each morning on your knees to find what He has promised in His Words to carry you through the day. At night, thanking Him for seeing you through another day. And giving yourself to Him before you sleep. Asking for forgiveness of any sin you could of done, and not knowingly how to react. Ask for forgiveness. "Forgive me Father, for l have sinned, and fallen short of your Glory." To say that is to recognize and figure out what you did or thought, from the worlds point of evilness. For God wants you always to be a Blessing to others as His Son Jesus was as He walked on the Earth. So give a thought to this writing of mine, for My God put in my Heart to write, and show how He wants mankind to be, as our world becomes more and more into Revelation Days. Control!!!! Lies!!!! Meanest....Self...for God will start destroying what beauty we have on this Earth faster then now. For mankind has been destroying for some time out of Greed. .Heed my warnings!!!!!

Hi Adam,

Of course we are tempted. We don't want to fall prey to temptation. I am very familiar with Paul, who said that he does what he doesn't want to do, and doesn't do what he does want to do.

We are tempted to sin, but we don't want to sin. I should have been more clear about that, I apologize. :)

Jen

what dose sancticationed mean

Hi Brother Rick,

Yes, Faith is the starting place, followed by action/change, and then this will result in Grace from God! We will not get the Grace if we do not change our lives and walk in Christ. Many christians profess "Faith and Grace" but take "no action" to change their behavior nor do they walk in Christ and strive to keep his commandments.

Matthew 7:22

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?"

Matthew 7:23

"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Peace and God Bless.

Dear IMKane,

The Holy Bible and God's Word is not a puzzle as some would like others to believe. The simple, the meek, the humble, and the children will inherit God's Kingdom. With that said, we don't have to get a PhD in theology to understand God's Word because if we are sincere, and humble, LIKE CHILDREN, God's Holy Sprit will teach us THE TRUTH.

Again, the scripture spoken by Jesus is very simple to understand and sums it all up:

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Jesus said the commandments (Law) will last until heaven and earth pass/end. Heaven and earth have not passed YET, so the law is still in place!

Matthew 5:18

"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

The apostles did strive to keep the commandments, please see scripture below:

1 John 2:3

"And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments."

If we let others lead us away from the TRUTH with the "popular faith and grace argument" we are blinded to the THRUTH!

Mark 7:9

"And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."

So in summary, we can keep God's commandments and walk in his ways, or follow your own man made tradition, as stated above in Mark7:9

God Bless

im looking for scripture; cain is born off the evil one

Hi Fred. I believe the "some have fallen asleep" is an euphemism for 'having passed away in death". Thank you for those worthy remarks.
