Hi, there's a 10 month old child who may be suffering from a genetic disorder, there's a 6 month old baby in ICU and there's another child named Caith who has an abnormal sac of fluid or brain tissue that extends through a detect in her skull. Plus there's God knows how many others suffering from various diseases/ illnesses like Covid, blood cancer and others. There's one person who has anxiety issues, there are those in ICU, there are those who have seizures and another earthquake happened recently this year. Please pray for healing and salvation/ repentance including the salvation/ repentance of those around those suffering (mentioned here and those not mentioned here).

Thank you so much.

Hello Paula,

Please don't be angry with me. Your statement of "If you do not warn the wicked you will not be save nor the wicked doer". What do you mean by this? That if we do not evangelize or "warn" then we will not be saved?? We are saved by the Grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. His free gift to us. After which we are bought with a price and are His forever. He will guide our paths. Not by how much we can do to "warn" people, of what I also don't know what you mean, of something. Acknowledging your faith to our Father and Jesus Christ to others is always good. Along with using the Word, Holy Scriptures, or Gospels to lead people to the truth. Of coarse if they will even hear you is the question.

Please don't anyone take this the wrong way that I have anything against evangelizing. They are my brothers doing what our Father has them doing.

Just you stating that "if you do not warn the wicked you will not be saved" is not correct. In my eyes anyway. Jesus Christ states just prophesying, or casting out demons, or many wonderful works may not deem you saved.

Matthew 7:22-23: 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?

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

God Bless.

I agree. This community is tricky but I agree. Many people have been forced into silence because they do not want the leaders to get into trouble...

Has anyone had any trouble with sexual harassment at church? If so, how did you handle it?

Thank you Chris. It's always better to let the scriptures explain the scriptures. I appreciate the reference to I John 2:22-23.

What must I do to be saved?

Hi Modesto Olivio. I think the statement in Luke 3:23 regarding the parentage and approximate age of Jesus revolves around the issue of Mary's pregnancy as a virgin before her marriage to Joseph. There is the marriage date recorded in the temple, the date of legal parentage as recorded in the registry in the temple, and the revelation of Jesus at the time of His ministry at around the age of 30 that He was the Son of God. I'm speculating now that the Temple had registered the date of the marriage of Joseph and Mary and less than 9 months later Jesus was born. The numbers don't add up, so I think that's why the parentage and age issue are thus. The registry (genealogy) was destroyed 70 AD. We are talking about Joseph legally being His (adoptive) father (and Joseph was of Davidic lineage) to fulfill legal requirements until Christ's ministry was established.

Does it say what tribe of the bible pale people come from?

Alex comments about this John 16 : 13 Buts its simply b/c that the H.G. has to be born in us thus he is our spritual Child,our new innerman that is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the Father thus he cannot speak of himself untill he is of age but everything the FATHER shows him he will make known unto us .Now the heir as long he is a Child differs nothin from a servant THO he be LORD OF ALL thats the H.G. which is the Child simply b/c he has to be born in US from the seed of the sower which is the living word of God. Thats y he cannot speak of himself he is only a child when we are bornagain . Thats y Jesus was saying whosoever receiveth one such child in my Name RECEIVETH ME . Impling Jesus is the Father of the H.G. simply b/c the H.G. is gonna be born in humanity via the seed of Christ which is the living word,he that soweth that good seed is the son of man Jesus ,and he propagates after the God kind thats y he said that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the H.G. spirit as God is spirit .But thats y the H.G cannot speak of himself he is a baby Christ . Thats y Paul said as we have borne the image of the earthy we must also bear the image of the heavenly which is a baby Christ the H.G. THE kINGDOM OF GOD, Remember unless ya receive the kingdom as a lil Child etc impling a heavenly birth via that good seed . The God head is just like abraham issac and jacob Father son and granson which is gonna initaites the Israel of God which answers to the great Promise of multiplcation of Christ seed AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN . Ya gotta realize there wd have neva been a natural Israel without this abraham issac and jacob scenario father son and granson that became as the sands of the seas The earthy PROMISE which was a metaphor for the heavenly PROMISE, The Israel of GOD which are spirits the H.G plural. A much greater ISRAEL then abrahams ISRAEL. The Abrahamic Promise was Good but the Christ Promise is Eternal life a KINGDOM in our hearts .

This covid is a lie! time is near because the new kingdom the new little horn that appears is the NWO that is what is happening now it is in the making . the biggest crime against gods people is by the combined goverments banks and who all working together to enslave us and kill many. Inject you with RNA altering your DNA, enslavment and control and all the riches in the world will be bestowed upon them because the people are being deceived , The people of this world are afraid off what they are being shown by the media which is also complicit to this in every country. Trust in god not what the government say.

James 2:3

"And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:"

Prophecy

All the scholars who are looking for the Ark of The Covenant should read Revelation 11:19. It clearly says the Ark is in Heaven ,, not on this earth. Just my thoughts on that subject.

how many of you say the sabbath is sunday? we have been lied to for a very long time , church worship and the day of rest should be saturday, it is a comandment !!!!

It make sense that jesus is coming now with all this murder that the world is seeing and going to see . If you do not warn the wickeed you will not be save nor the wicked doer but if you warn them and they heed not you shall be saved while they will not ,

If you think about the times Our Lord is speaking of there is no way there would be aircraft or aircraft carrying ships. however there possibly would be catapults slinging great rocks at them , In those days boats would have been wooden , surely if he says chariots and horses why do we have to interpret it as anyhting different!

What does verse 3 reference to? Please explain Psalm 16. My interpretation is putting all trust in God the Almighty not man or item's.

Overturn overturn overturn and will overturn no more .. This is refering to the mistery stone that was overturnd 3 times in its travels from israel to irland to scotland to england. The scots stole the stone from under the coronation seat of Queen elizabeth before she could be crowned upon it and replaced it with a fake . If it had not been stolen it would have been overturned again when queen Elizabeth was crowned, England returned the stone to scotland (fake stone) to get more votes for thatcher , Today the stone ( fake stone ) is on display in scotland , The real hidden stone is also in scotland and awaits the King whos right it is . The stone was Jacobs pillow and travelled with the arc all the way to ireland where the arc containing the tablets moses brought down from the mountain was hidden this is where the stone and the arc became seperated . He who is the righfull king will replace the house of windsor! We await you o lord Amen

Don't know how " Genesis 1" came into it - I was asking about Jesus's parable on the kingdom of heaven in Matthew 25:1

I apologize as I was following past conflicts into modern day conflicts. It has more continuity when you follow Edom.

I recently did a study on Abrahams family and did see the rest of Hagars story. She returned to her family's land and never married.

Abraham did wed again after Sarah's death.

Hmmm. This IS a Church you're writing about? Where are the Pastor or Elders hiding? If this situation is affecting you personally, I would run out fast & not look back. And grab the arms of as many other women as you can on your way out.

I had heard in the past, around age 2; which I tend to believe. It would've been very difficult to go those distances with a newborn infant.

Here's some Google history:

They reached Egypt after a 65 kilometers journey where they lived for three years until after the death of Herod in 4 B.C. when Joseph had a dream that it is safe to return to Israel. The family traveled to Nazareth which took them a journey of at least 170 kilometers.

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 2, gives a biblical summary of Christ's early infancy and childhood. This passage identifies the place of Christ's birth as being Bethlehem of Judea and the time of His birth was in the days of Herod the King. Herod the King was known as "Herod the Great," and was made King by the Romans in the year 43 BC Historians tell us that his death occurred approximately 4 BC According to Matthew Henry's commentary on the book of Matthew, page 10, Christ was born in the 35th year of Herod the Great's reign. According to Albert Barnes' commentary on the book of Matthew, King Herod the Great died in his 37th year of reign. The best chronologers have supposed that Herod died somewhere between two and four years after the birth of Christ, but the particular time cannot now be determined; nor can it be ascertained at what age Jesus was taken into Egypt. It seems probable that He was between one and two years old-based upon the account of Herod's order to kill all the children two years and under.

If someone aligns themselves with the feminist agenda of today, then yes, not just Mary, but most of the women in the Old & New Testaments of the Bible, obeyed God, served Him well & faithfully reared up their families & may have appeared as 'second class' people. But that was never the case: this has always been the God-ordained Plan for mankind, for its happy & blessed existence & a full expression of familial love & cohesiveness.

Then someone steps up to the plate & announces that women are being suppressed, disadvantaged & treated in a sub-human way & this needs to be rectified. And I agree to it, if women are being treated as such, then errors made in the past need to be corrected. But in her obedience to God, which also reflects a wife's relationship to her husband, a woman can do no better than to remain humble before her God which demonstrates her love & devotion to Him & a spirit ever keen to hear & do what He asks of her. And this must also be the desire & act of every man towards God, whereby as his wife subjects herself to him, he likewise shows her (nay, showers her) with much love & care.

So I've never viewed Mary as anything less than what God expected of her & what she willingly did & gave of herself to Him. That's a picture of a beautiful relationship of love & trust, but the carnal world only sees that which God has ordained, as skewed & of great disadvantage or mistreatment to women as a whole. Just my thoughts.

In the world we live in there seems to be a lot of questions about SSA - same sex attraction. You look at the old testament and God destroyed a city called Sodom and Gamorah. But then, now there are laws that allow people to get married of the same sex. But yet there are also people that struggle with SSA. What kind of scriptures can we use in this?

Thank you and God Bless you.

Hello Bob,

What would you say about these Scriptures:

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.

A couple other translations of Philippians 2:6 Although he was in the form of God and equal with God, he did not take advantage of this equality.

who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,

In God's own form existed he, and shared with God equality, deemed nothing needed grasping.

As the KJV is the best translation from the Greek. Most others hack it up.

God Bless.

Why was Daniel put in prison ? Who was the person responsible for having him imprisoned.

Your honesty & strong desire for victory in this weak area of your life, is noticeable & you do receive our prayers & support. As a young man of 16, I perceive that your unnatural view of women, has been introduced & fostered by engaging in media depictions of women or even through viewing pornography. I know many people, young & old, engage in this as it is given so liberally on the Web & elsewhere, to satisfy our sinful cravings.

You say that the "void" in your life is huge & that is so dangerous. I can't change your family's use of their spare time, but I can offer some suggestions. And I agree, that Bible reading & prayer cannot take up all your time, even for the ability to concentrate. But remember, prayer to God for help, is not confined at a particular time of the day, but wherever you might be: on the street, in a cafe, out with friends. Whenever sin comes knocking at the door of your heart, your first call is to the Lord Who loves you & wants to see you living in victory.

An addiction, any addiction, requires determination & discipline to rid the habit. The craving might be there for a while, but the pursuit of it has to stop quickly. Firstly, stay away from those areas that are tempting you to lust. Remember that the Bible often speaks of fleeing lust when it comes ( 2 Timothy 2:22, James 4:7, 1 Corinthians 10:13,14, 1 Timothy 6:9-12, 1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If it's books, the Web, the beach, the movies, etc. that is causing you to falter, then stay away from them. The next important thing is how you view women. Always make it a constant practise to see them in a proper, natural way as equal members of society, worthy of real love & respect. You're in that 'highly charged' age group, but that doesn't mean that women should be considered in any other way than you would expect them to consider you or treat you. Be involved in Church youth socializing with them, be careful who your friends are & where you go with them. What are your interests?

Thank god for divine protection, definitely in this climate!!!

You can get different interpretations of this verse, as also seen in verse 8 of 1 John chapter 5. I've heard it as being associated with Jesus' baptism in 'water' & the culmination of earthly Work by the shedding of His 'Blood' at the Cross. And this may well be correct as I can see its inference.

However, I rather see these verses, & being consistent with John's Gospel chapter 3:5: "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.", as applying to Jesus' physical Birth. Why I also think in this way, is because much of John's epistle is devoted to highlighting the Gnostic teaching entering the Church & for believers to stand on apostolic teaching, to not be swayed by these others, & be confident in their faith. One aspect of this Gnostic (Docetic) teaching was that "the incarnation (i.e. Jesus coming in the flesh, from God) was incredible (unbelievable), as deity cannot unite itself with anything material (such as a body of flesh)."

So the Gnostics rejected the idea that God could make Himself appear in material human form (as many even reject this now) but said that Jesus was only a special Perfect Man & without the Divine in Him. So what 1 John 5:6 is saying, is that Jesus did come from God in human form (water & blood depicting the birth process & the human aspects) & God's Spirit witnesses to this fact. As there are three that bear witness in Heaven (verse 7), so to on Earth, three bear witness & agree together: the Spirit & Christ's full humanity (water & blood).

In 1 John 2:22,23, John had to relate a similar warning to the Christians: that the one who denies the Divinity of Jesus (i.e. that He came from God & in the flesh, & has both the Divine & Human natures) has the anti-Christ spirit within him & has to be avoided. I hope this helps you - others may contribute their understanding on these verses also, as you can also get other opinions from different Bible commentators.

Is there anything in the King James bible about politics or dems and rep
