It seemed I left out a dozen words in my last passage,
It's clear the scripture tells us to be of one mind, And we may have to reprove one another but NOT rule over one another AND WE SHOULD WELCOME IT. ( being reproved )
We're taught to wash one another's feet, Hold one another accountable to righteousness Christian living, and SOUND DOCTRINE.
Some may despise reproof, There false doctrines is strategic, well sought out and Satan inspired, These are the spots mentioned in Jude 1:12. that feast with us.
Thanks for letting me clear up my bad penmanship.
God bless.
I'm trying to find an in print (not on computer) 1611 King James Version Bible WITH the Apocrypha. I'm having trouble finding what I'm looking for. The Ryrie study Bible was recommended but I'm not sure it includes the Apocrypha.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Bible says many times to fear God. The Bible doesn't say to "not" fear God as you put it. 1 John 4:18 seems to suggest love and fear and opposites. Maybe these are mutually exclusive when it comes to how we treat others, but maybe God in an exception. The Bible clearly says to love God and clearly says to fear God. Therefore, I'm inclined to believe that it's both. Some say the fear means a high level of respect rather than a petrified fear. If anyone wants to compare the original Hebrew or Greek to see if its the same word or not, that might be helpful.
Proverbs 9:10, Ephesians 5:21, Jeremiah 32:39, Luke 12:5, Leviticus 25:17.
Philippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
I do not know any scripture for ecumenism.

You might want to take a look at Micah 7:19. That may be what you are referring to. Also, I think sharing email addresses is prohibited on this website according to the rules of use.
He here the Lord with the inner ear.
The Lord speaks to his "CHURCH" by the spirit.
REVELATION 2:29. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
JOHN 10:27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
HEBREWS 1:1-2. God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
If God decides to speak Audible it would take the spirit to reveal truth.
The inner ear is the work of the Holyspirit revealing that truth.
We have to be cautious of seeking an experience whether by sight or hearing or miracles and rely on faith in God's word.
Hebrews 11:1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Israel seen and heard "As a Nation " and received external blessings and miracles, deliverance, Promises, and the Gospel.
Hebrews 4:2. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with ""FAITH"" in them that heard it.
God bless.
I DON'T BELIEVE the scriptures can contradict themselves.
There are hundreds of places in the scriptures that say ALL will worship GOD.
They can not worship God if they are in Hell.
In Ezekiel 5 and Zachariah 13 it says a third will be brought through the fire; Revelation 9:18 says a third are killed by fire, smoke and brimstone. These have to be the same third as in Ezekiel and Zachariah because verse 20 says the rest repented not. This same third is the ones in Revelation 8.
Revelation 19 The whole chapter is about the ones called to the marriage supper. Before we can come to the supper we have to be cleansed. We are cast into the lake of fire (vs 20). We have our flesh destroyed (vs 21). God is no respector of persons. Have we ever been fearful, unbelieving, liars. Revelation 21:8 says all these will have their part in the lake of fire. Did not Christ have victory over DEATH AND THE GRAVE Revelation 20:14 says DEATH AND THE GRAVE were destroyed by the lake of fire.
I BELIEVE ALL THINGS HAVE AN APPOINTED TIME
Ecclesiastes 3
I believe ALL things are by the will of God; good and bad. His will is always carried out by man; but THE WORKS ARE OF GOD. Therefore GOD will have mercy on ALL; but in HIS appointed TIME.
Jeremiah 2:19 Thine own wickedness shall CORRECT THEE ......
Jeremiah 46:28 ......but I will not make a full end of thee, but CORRECT THEE in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly UNPUNISHED.
Psalms 94:10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not CORRECT? ......
FOR MEDITATION: If the damned have a natural body at their resurrection; literal fire will kill them in a few seconds. If they are resurrected with a glorified body: literal fire can't hurt them.
SPIRITUAL FIRE CAN hurt both; natural and glorified.
God bless, Ron
I don't believe there's a biblical answer to that. I actually had the same thing going on with me recently for over a week where I would wake up at 3:30 am almost every morning. It seemed odd that it would be the same time, give or take a few minutes every night. I am normally a good sleeper and can sleep through the night. What it was for me is that I was stressed out over a few things which I believe were interfering with my sleep.
If you know of anything that you are having stress about, that might be the issue. If it continues, I would maybe consider seeing a doctor. And also, as S Spencer has said, prayer is always a good thing!
They establish their own righteousness, thinking its Gods .
But Jesus will say I never knew you , on that day they say Lord Lord .
They had the wrong Lord , they heard not the word of God , but did it their way to suit them .
Deception is so deadly . Take time to hear Gods voice in the Bible or go blindly to ....
Luke 13:28
What we have here is 2 lessons the Lord is teaching us,
( The Lord washing the disciples feet teaches Humility, and the disciples washing one another's feet emphasize Our walk, "Restoring into fellowship"
( Galatians 6:1. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one IN THE SPIRIT OF MEEKNESS; CONSIDERING THYSELF, lest thou also be tempted.)
John 13:12-17. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, ""HE SAID UNTO THEM, KNOW YE WHAT I HAVE DONE TO YOU?""
( YE CALL ME MASTER AND LORD: AND YE SAY WELL; FOR SO I AM.
IF I THEN, YOUR LORD AND MASTER, HAVE WASHED YOUR FEET; YE ALSO OUGHT TO WASH ONE ANOTHER'S FEET.)
FOR I HAVE GIVEN YOU AN EXAMPLE, THAT YE SHOULD DO AS I HAVE DONE TO YOU.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
IF YE KNOW THESE THINGS, HAPPY ARE YE IF YE DO THEM.
It's clear the scripture tells us to be of one mind, And we may have to reprove one another but rule over, AND WE SHOULD WELCOME IT.
2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Iron sharpens Iron
We should welcome it.
BUT NOT ALL
Studying Jude you will see this has crept into the Church.
Jude 1:8, 12, 16 (KJV) Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Jd 1:12. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Jd 1: 16. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
Don't kick against the bricks and Love one another
The ecumenical movement has been around for a long time now. This movement talks about unity among believers which sounds great, but if the goal is to bring all denominations and religions together as one, then that is something we must be cautious about.
Ephesians 4:3 says, "Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
This tells us to keep the unity. We're already united in Christ. We don't have to make the unity. We're already united. We have to keep the unity. Satan is trying to divide the unity. And even if he succeeds in the human to get us to quarrel and have our differences or whatever, we still have unity in the Spirit. We're still one in Christ.
The theme of Philippians is about fellowship, and what it takes for a believer to have fellowship with other believers. That's the problem that Paul dealt with a lot. We are to tolerate one another in the love of Christ. We are to make it a top priority to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
But to bring all denominations together as one is a bad idea because it will cause problems. In 1 Corinthians 11:19, it says that there must be heresies among us and that division is necessary. The word heresy comes from the root word that means choice. That's what heresy is. It's when I choose to believe that the bible is teaching something that's not in the bible.
Most of the church today is made up of heresies and that's what divides one church from another church. It's why we have so many different denominations. We go over the same scriptures, and one side says "We believe that it says this," and another side will say "Well, we believe it means this!"
It says for it is necessary for there to be heresies. It's interesting that Paul didn't say "There shouldn't be any heresies." There have to be heresies in the church. Why? So that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. Did you know that God ordains division?
As I see this comment was directed towards me I shall respond kindly.
I very much understand that people have their own beliefs. I respect that as even some of my brothers in Christ do not agree with everything I state. I don't condemn anyone. Though truth is what is most important to me. Please don't take that in that I think I'm smart. I am a humble person.
I myself have gone through believing that "everyone is to be saved" in the end. Thinking in the same sense of in your other post in that "God is love". As I've stated to Earl this would not bother me as whatever God's Will is I'm for that. Though that perspective did not hold up very long. As Christ teaches about "saved and unsaved" over ten times. Using statements of eternal punishment and eternal life. Eternal being the same Greek word "aionios" meaning just that in both cases.
I just really see it as if we say there is a hell and there really isn't, what wrong have we done in that many have come to repentance seeing these things being taught in the Holy Scriptures. Maybe making some be better people by fearing God as we are taught to do and this is the beginning of wisdom.
Though stating to people there is no hell, or eternal damnation/torment, and there really is. Maybe that made that person not care what they did and, live in sin and iniquity, not caring about anything or anyone but themselves. Ruining their chance at Salvation and eternal life. I would feel really bad.
As I just go by what the Scripture teaches and has been for thousands of years. Me bringing up people who have been dead and experienced things like paradise/heaven even meeting Jesus Christ also. Just what my journey has lead me to research and believe more in what the Holy Bible teaches.
Hope all is well Sacha.
God Bless.
Matthew 24:36-39 (KJV) But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Luke 17:26-27 (KJV) And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
God bless you,
I hope that helps.
Drug use hinders us from being spiritually led, which can be dangerous to us whether Christian or not, How can you even hear the gospel that saves without the Holyspirit, Drug use distorts something on the inside the vessel that should be totally given over to the Lord.
Ephesians 5:14-19. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be ""FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT;""
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
"Be not drunken with wine" The Emphasis is drunken, , "INFLUENCED by the wine is the danger here". But be filled with the spirit. INFLUENCED by the spirit is the blessing here!! they're contuary one to another. The focus is not on just wine, anything that hinders the work of the spirit.
It's not just what you will do while under fleshly influence, but what you want do what you want hear or anything the Holyspirit urges you to do.
Pharmakeia (from where we get the word Pharmacy), from Textus Receptus Greek text, meaning ‘drug use/drug dealing’ of which it and derivatives translated into the English as sorcery or witchcraft. Rev 9:21; Rev 18:23; Rev 22:15; Gal 5:20.
Examples in OT which would be ‘Ksp’ (Hebrew root of the word) are: Ex 7:11; Isa 47:9; Deut 18:10; II Kings 9:22, etc… many passages containing this root word referring to various usage for drugs be it dealing/trafficking or usage for any means.
Of course this does not apply to all drugs, such as aspirin for example, but more specifically what we distinguish as illegal recreational drugs, though not based upon what governments call legal or illegal, for some legalize them but they are still of objection by scripture. Generally such drugs are specifically used for altering consciousness into specific state of mind, to seemingly make one more aware or perceptive of the spiritual realm by general practice, but for a host of reasons they are used and thus still categorized as a means to enter a specific state of mind be it for recreational or ritualistic usage.
Common usage over the eons have been for ritual use in that Pagan/Occult practices may be performed. These are used to open up the user to a conscious state of awareness to spiritual influences. This observably not being the effect of alcohol usage which puts the user into a state of ‘fleshly awareness‘ (or unawareness), but more specifically a spiritual awareness conductive of their affects.
There has been medical usage associated with cannabis, but the correct usage is by way of an extraction process which removes the ’high’ effect that causes the altered state of mind. I consider this beneficial, being processed into pill form with the ‘high‘ effects removed, but using (e.g. smoking or eating) it in a way that causes the altered state would be considered the same that the scriptures warns against
