Jesus gives credit to his father as being His source , makes perfect sense that Jesus is Gods son .

Many other examples in the Bible Jesus gives God the credit for who he is and where he came from . Jesus is the Son of God .

Does the King James Version and the New King James Version have the same meaning? I have always read the King James Version but some in my family say they can understand the New Version better because its more in our language.

what was the sin of the Lame man at the Pool of Bethesda

Hello, just search online for a Bible containing the "apocrypha" or get it separately. Note that many do not consider it canon, or God's word for different reasons. Link

Did Jesus have a beard chapter and verse please ?

Hello Earl,

If I may just ask you a question or two. To say "most will not believe this" I'm not sure what you mean. Are you implicating that there is no such thing as "saved and unsaved"? Are you stating all are to be saved no matter what??

Of coarse I believe God uses all, just and unjust, to fulfill His Will as He is always in control. Though I don't see all being saved which would basically make the whole Holy Bible of no avail. Also it would mean actually, like some people push today, that there is no "right or wrong". Which is of the devil or what he would want people to believe.

Also with the word "creature" which is the Greek word "ktisis" which basically means "the original formation or created being". To me this means our human(physical) body and as children of God, who are with the Lord, wait earnestly for our glorified bodies. Are you taking the word "creature" to mean like a "devil" or evil person against God? Maybe mixing them up?

It would be nice to think everybody is going to be saved and go to Heaven. Though that is not what the Bible teaches. As in 1 John 3:7-10 that all are not children of God. Also many teachings of Jesus Christ. As God makes some vessels to show his wrath unto destruction and some to show the riches of His glory and mercy to be glorified. All for His Will.

In the end the Lord is the Judge not me. Please correct me if anything I said was off and I went too far with my post. Thank you Earl.

God Bless.

I would like to understand Luke 12:48 better. Can someone help me do this?

Deuteronomy 5: 9 for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

Deuteronomy 5: 10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

how to understand "third and fourth generation" and "thousands of them"?

does "them" imply generations, children, or something else?

what does the bible say about infidelity. what to do is one about it

Daniel, may the Spirit grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

You ask why Jacob is bad mouthed so much in the church (most have worldly wisdom)?

Why is Judas bad mouthed so much in the church? Was not he one of the chosen? Did he not perform the job he was chosen for, just as Pharaoh, also Esau and Jacob as well as us today; we being used also by God to do HIS WORKS.

Romans 9

You would not have a saviour if you didn't have a Judas. Do you not think Our LORD is not doing these same kind of WORKS today? In all of history God uses man to do HIS WORKS, just and unjust.

Isaiah 10

But God has already provided for their return to the kingdom.

Romans 8:19-21 For the earnest EXPECTATION of the CREATURE WAITETH for the MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD.

(vs 20) For the creature was made SUBJECT TO VANITY, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

(vs 21) BECAUSE THE CREATURE ITSELF ALSO SHALL BE DELIVERED from the bondage of corruption (death) UNTO THE LIBERTY OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

Obadiah 1:21 And saviours shall come upon Mt. Zion to judge the Mt. of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lords.

MOST WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS.

what seal are we in today

You state "So a Christian certainly wouldn't partake in any vaccine".

I'm a christian and I took the vaccine.

You may be judging others wrongly...

Matthew 7:3 Context

1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

God Bless

I cannot understand how -expletive that called themselves find it so hard to believe in their hearts that Jesus is also God . Jesus himself says that he is God . Read from John chapter 8 verses 54 -59 . Jesus answered the Jews saying if I honour myself my honour is nothing it is my Father that honoureth me of whom you say that he is your God yet you have not known him but I kimonos him and if should say that I know him not I shall be a liar like unto you :but I know him and keep his saying .your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and was glad, then said the Jews unto Jesus thou are not yet fifty years old and has thou seen Abraham ?Jesus said unto them Before Abraham was I AM.

here in John chapter 8 verse 58 . Jesus our lord and savior declared who he truly is God the great I am .



Even to the prophet Isaiah in chapter 9 verse 6 declared That Jesus is the mighty God and the everlasting Father .

Hi, could you tell me if there is a print version of the bible with all of the books included for example Judith and Ecclesiasticus and any suggestions on where to purchace this.

Than you

What does the word or name Selah means?

How do you know if the Holy Spirit is talking to you.

Hi Carleton ,the tower of babel all ways reminds me of the internet ,everone working together ,speaking the same language ,Gods reaction is : now nothing will be restrained from them ,thats from my memory so may not be exact , i cant help but feel that the internet is mostly bad for us ,there is an ENORMOUS wealth of pure evil on it and i think out weighs the good on it but thats just my opinion , im sure many others will disagree ,may God bless you Carleton ,you always sound so full of love and joy .

Yes, the bible is based on race from Genesis to Revelation. I know this from studying the bible with the Strong's Concordance. It is written to Adamkind only.

I think the reason for this is found in the last verse 32: "These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood."

From Noah & his sons, all the Earth was repopulated after the Flood, which wiped out everyone. Even though most of those names might not mean much to us, it was important to Israel in understanding their roots & to historians who would be able to follow the generations which came from those names.

Michal was one of Saul's daughters; the other (older) one was Merab ( 1 Samuel 14:49). Then we find the love she had for David (from 1 Samuel 18:17 onwards, into the next chapter).

Hi Daniel, I suppose that Jacob (Israel) figures more prominently throughout Scripture than Esau, so churches tend to emphasize his 'bad' character. However, Esau was equally to blame for handing over his birthright ( Hebrews 12:16) & then after Isaac's blessing was given to Jacob, throwing a tantrum over his loss.

Yet we also need to bear in mind Genesis 25:21-23. Here, we see that Rebekah enquired of the Lord about the "struggle she was experiencing in her womb". And the Lord spoke about the twins there & how the elder twin would one day serve the younger. It seems that Isaac wasn't aware of this Word from God, or else he, in his old age, had forgotten about it ( Genesis 27:33-37). And of course, Rebekah herself was right in the middle of this debacle & was equally guilty. So none of them are innocent in all this & yet God used the weaknesses of people (their fleshly desires & schemes) to fulfil His Purposes. Maybe, churches & Sunday Schools need to relate the complete story & learn from the mistakes of others & of course, the sovereignty of God.

I personally believe the Mark of the Beast is the microchip. It says in not on. I am quite sure the difference is important. The words of the Bible seem to have exact meanings. I realize the original word has numerous meanings; however, the chip is already being offered, and a cashless society is right around the corner.

Why is it Jacob ( in the Old testament) is given a bum rap time and time again in church over the years question mark ! All he did was claim what was rightfully his after his brother Esau sold his birthright to him for some food ( pottage ) ! Yet over the years he has been "bad mouthed" in Sunday School as a whole in the Baptist church and other places. Why question mark ! I have gone back and read his story over again lately and find GOD never rebuked him and his Father Abraham never rebuked him as well !

Hi Sacha,

I am sorry to hear about the deaths in your family going on. As it is a part of life and I so understand wanting others you care about to be saved, and with the Lord, though they have their own beliefs.

I just as you, and I'm sure all others in Christ, yearn for the day that we will be with the Lord in glory where He is in His Kingdom.

Very encouraging

Where does the story of David and Michel take place in the bible

Isaac,

This will be my last post to you as I did not wish to make you angry or drive you away. You have just as much right to post here as I do. As I stated I did not want you to take my post harshly as it seems you did. I am sorry you took it that way.

You stating "you guys" but please only keep this between you and me. Maybe you are perceiving me and Carleton as "you guys" because we both asked you a similar question?

Like I stated truthfully. I am not one to sharpen your iron on this topic of Genesis. I stated where my focus is.

Please feel free to keep posting and maybe someone else can help you.

Again I apologize.

God Bless.

Hello Dot, Paul tries to tell us that we remain in need so that grace may abound, we do not want to sin, but we must remember that we came to Jesus as a beggar by the gate with open sores on our face that dogs would lick and He accepted us. How can we not remember others at any cost now that we are rich in Christ Jesus?

For our meditation by His love.

Only one reason Issac, as mentioned before, the discussion is time consuming, so the value for me must start at the Cross. I remain interested in your thoughts in Genesis 1 and 2, if I believe that finally the goal is the increase of our faith and relationship at the Cross. I am sure that no one means offense otherwise. I am sorry for my part in your offense.

Dot , when we help some one in need we are not only helping them ,we are also helping our selves and showing some one who is a potential Christian the love of God towards them . I personally would never give cash to some one if i knew they were a drug addict ,anything else yes ,food clothing etc but not cash but thats just me . We receive everything and are entitled to nothing ,nothing belongs to us ,we dont belong to this world and this world doesnt belong to us ,we are waiting for the world to come ,in which no one will have more or less than they need ,just like the manna in the wilderness ,every one had enough .
