These are actual 7 steps of a Jewish wedding.

1. First, the Jewish groom barters with the father of the bride. They get together and they go back-and-forth, and barter as to what the deal is going to be.

2. Once they reach an agreement, the future bride is brought in. And if she approves of it, all three of them drink out of the covenant cup, which means from that time forward they are betrothed.

3. The groom goes back to his father's house to build their living quarters. It is built right off of the family home. And once the wedding takes place, and they are now married, they will go back to his family's home, and there will be living quarters that will be for them.

4. The father of the groom decides when the living quarters are done, and when he can go get his bride. What does that tell us? We don't know the time or the hour. It has to be a minimum of one year because it is a time of purity for her. The groom can go get his bride when his father decides it's time.

5. When the marriage announcement is made, catch this: the people who have already been invited to the wedding feast, they take their positions along the parade route, because the groom is going to get his bride. And there are people stationed in position all the way along the route. They join the parade as it passes by. It is called a parade.

6. When the groom reaches the bride's house, he stands at a distance and blows the shofar, the trumpet, for the bride to come out and meet him. And the wedding takes place at that time. Do you see anything in there about prophecy? The groom comes to get his bride, and he stands a ways off and blows the trumpet, and she comes out to meet him.

7. The parade goes back to the groom's house and the wedding feast begins. All of the guests in the parade gather in the Fellowship Hall, and the door is shut. This is not an open public thing.

Compare this to prophecy in Matthew Chapter 25

Be looking for our Bridegroom!

Mishael

Guilt is the big one! A soul that comes out of the wilderness and finds salvation in the love of Christ, will learn , will learn that there is no more guilt. Your flesh will remind you often, until the day of judgment .Remember, Christ has overcome the things of this world, and so will you if you abide in him! He created you, made you, and loves you!

Adam, a name from the beginning! your answer is correct and to the point! salvation is ours once again through the sacrifice of our lord Jesus. Through faith in his word, god plants his seed into us that we may grow thereby! all our sins are washed, cleansed away. We are new creatures with a new nature ,we are like him. His friends, no longer servants.

I think this verse and others like it can soothe my anxiety before Election Day.

God is the one to turn to

Dear Jennifer,

If you are a Christian who follows Jesus and are genuinely repentant, yes God forgives you; you are absolutely forgiven and washed clean by Jesus paying for your sins on the cross. God used people like Paul (who used to murder Christians) for great works, and Moses (who killed too) for amazing works. God forgives and will use us, despite our shortcomings, for His glory. I think he even prefers the imperfect, the underdogs, over self-righteous people like pharisees. God bless.

thank you for this you guys are so good god shall always be with you

What Scriptures could we use to soothe our anxiety about Election Day?

John 14:27 (ESV)

Rev 19:11

1 Peter 5:8 (ESV)

Romans 8:38-39

Ephesians 6:10-20

Peace - Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)

Confidence - 2 Timothy 1:7

Joy - Psalm 94:19

Trust - Psalm 56:3, "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee."

Strength - Isaiah 41:10 ((ESV)

Nearness of God - Psalm 73:28 (ESV)

If repentance is done properly, stop having abortions and make restitution if possible .

If we reguard iniquity in our hearts God will not hear us .

Ask for Gods mercy he will help the helpless . And teach you what to do through his word .

When you get peace about it that's a sign you have peace with God .

But do not settle for false peace that lies can give . The peace of God is beyond understanding and is deep !

does God forgive 2 abortions?

Hi Candace,

We live in a fallen world that shows great contrast between good and evil. Ephesians 6:10-12. Satan is allowed to rule the world and there's plenty of evidence of that. 1 John 5:19

We are only on earth a short time and are given freewill to choose who we want to follow: Jesus or Satan. Most people choose Satan and his signature is lies. We see more lies and deception today than ever- a big one is the news media spreading complete lies that they know is untrue, but still they enjoy doing the work of the devil and they financially benefit from stirring up drama.

We have an election between a candidate that wants to mass-murder babies and give 8 year olds hormones to transition, vs. someone who is strongly against it, but strangely, many Christians have been deceived themselves into voting for mass murder- to destroy God's creation, somehow thinking it's a 'lesser evil', even though there is no greater evil than mass murdering babies- more than the holocaust just in the US and their hearts and souls cry out to God and God hears their cry and will seek justice. Many people have been deceived by the devil and don't even realize it.

If God didn't allow any problems and didn't allow us to be tested or to have a choice we might be robots in heaven. But that's not what earth is.

These are just my ideas to help answer your question. God bless you.

Hi Rob,

I'm wondering what your motive is for coming to a Bible website and accusing Christians who believe the trinity of being under a "curse"- something that most Christians believe in. Is that how you lovingly are looking to exchange information about the Bible to edify each other or are just looking to start a quarrel and do the opposite? Romans 14:19, Ephesians 4:32, Ephesians 4:29.

The reason people believe that God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Ghost) are one is that it literally says that in the Bible in 1 John 5:7 and elsewhere: Link

Do you think this is a salvation issue where someone may go to hell for believing the Bible verses such as 1 John 5:7 or why else are you so strong to condemn Bible believing Christians? What if someone accused you of what you're accusing others- that you yourself are spreading a "heinous doctrine" and are under a "curse," how would that make you feel and would it be true?

I guess I would like to know why is all this corruption happen in the world today? God is of Love and all I see is hate... Is this suppose to happen, what's going on?

Glory to the LORD! He hides precious gems in plain sight and we get to dig them out ;)

Many people where murdered in the past for not adhering to the trinity doctrine , which proves it's not at all from God if you have a rational mind .

So in supporting this heinous doctrine you are under the Gods curse of it .

Lol really !

Jesus was born of God !

Does that help you ?

Let's get over this false doctrine. Of the trinity!

Why was Jesus born in Bethlehem? Think about it !

He did not have a mans flesh !

Can you put 2and 2 together?

What can be gleaned from verses 1-8?

To Chris: I have been reading discussion on here for about 3 months. I have always looked for your comments as they are so insightful and biblical! Are you a pastor? And what part of the country do you live in? I know you will just pass my comments of praise for you to our Father! Blessings Galatians 2 : 20

The Lord is my everything. This old sin filled world has worn my body down. I live in physical pain daily because of a crooked spine. I just had to have a fourth surgery to put in longer rods in my spine. What ever brother or sister reads this please pray for the pain to lessen Soon. Lord, I praise You this day and come with thanksgiving on my lips. Jesus Christ is everything to me as I continue on the journey from this sinful world to my new glorious home. I long for that new immortal and incorruptible body as the angels. I hope on nothing less than Jesus love and righteousness! HOLY ! HOLY! HOLY! Proclaim those wonderful creatures before the throne of GRACE. Jesus help me to love you more each day and to tell others of the greatest gift ever in Christ.

thank you for the Jewish wedding comments.

When we go through trials, give thanks give him praise, don't sit and weep over what u are going it's in ur praise that ur break through comes as Habakkuk 3:18 yet I will rejoice in the lord I will joy in the God of my salvation . He knows our desires our wants and needs he will not leave us comfort less.

In Bible days, men wore robes or gowns. When they fought or ran, they had to gird up their loins ( 2 Kings 4:29, 9:1; and 1 Peter 1:13). This was done by tucking their robes into their girdles, or what we would call belts, Therefore, Paul was saying that truth is the belt that allows us to fight without being entangled in our garments. Those who do not surround themselves with truth will become entangled in their own webs of deceit and will fall.

Please remember that we can always stand on God's Word because it is the truth ( John 17:17) and never forget that Jesus will always be: the Way, the Truth, and the Life. ( John 14:6)

Comments by Alex about the Trinity which is the Kingdom of God . Isaiah describes the Davidic Kingdom as Jesse ,David and Solomon n chapter 11 But jesse david and solomon had long been dead bout 300 yrs when Isaiah penned those words but Isaiah was still using these 3 men as symbolic language for a kingdom coming in the last days When the MANCHILD that will rule al nations, a lil child is gona lead them, A Father, Son and GRANSON type Kingdom,God Almighty his son Jesus and the H.G. which answers to Solomon which means Comforter the H.G. Which is the Granson that is gona result in an Israel of God. The Children of Promise that is gonna result from his seed etc the WORD. You folks that gag at 3 are gonna have to swollow millions ,God Almighty swore by his very self that Christ was gonna be multiplied as the stars of heaven,millions and Jesus interprets this as TO WHOM THE WORD CAME ( HIS SEED ) IT MADE THEM GODS AND THE SCRIPTURES CANNOT BE BROKEN, REMEMBER GOD SWORE BY HIMSELF . I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven . Thus you folks that gag at 3 are gonna be sick when ya understand that Christ is gonna be multiplied as the stars of heaven and this is how Jesus interprets that scripture " to whom the word came it made them Gods and the scriptures cannot be broken" And i have said ye are Gods impling his voice, his WORDS are the very seeds of God. Thats y Jesus is saying that which is born of the SPIRIT IS SPIRIT WHICH IS THE VERY MULTIPLCATION OF GOD IN HUMANITY VIA HIS SEED . So go back to the kingdom hall and tell them the good news. Thats y the new birth is so important we are all gonna birth a baby CHRIST the son of man,which is mankinds fruit unto God from that good seed the word,The words of the book th new covenant that is gona initiate a birth thus the woman with Child which is US SINNERS. Thats y JESUS refers to the H.G. as the Promise he is the multiplication of God humanity as God so loved the world. The parable of the sower is his love for us.

A tree, planted in the right place where sustenance is and purpose is achieved,from beginning to end, a work of God.Chaff,the ungodly, has no root,been released from it's sole purpose, as the way of sinners is, and has nothing but contempt for God. Then allowed to drift into dust once again.Whereas, the tree has a history of accomplishment and glorifying God,never to be forgotten in his sight.There is no time where the rule of God is not in effect,ever, or his memory fail those to whom he has imparted righteousness.

Behold the FINALITY, THE ALPHA & THE OMEGA OF RIGHTEOUSNESS God speak's of in Malachi. NOTHING BEFORE OR AFTER replaces CHRIST'S JESUS VISITATION to His people. And who are His people? All those who hear His words and live extending Mercy and Compassions to others. Upon the cross Christ said, "IT IS ACCOMPLISHED." He never said, there will be more prophets coming after Me to declare who is Righteous or Infidel. And what prophet before or after Christ Jesus ever gave blind their sight, lame their mobility, deaf their hearing, the dead life, broke Men's hardened hearts to think of others before themselves and ROSE FROM THE DEAD HIMSELF for hundreds to see Him again. Accept & Believe JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD. Yes you and I did not see this. But, He told us He would and He could not lie. Even to Pilate when asked if He was a King, Jesus could not lie and said,"I AM". You think He didn't know He could escape the cross by saying, 'No I am not a King. These people are just accusing me of such.' HE CANNOT LIE. Proving He was SINLESS and demonstrating to us that HE IS THE WAY TO LIFE! Our captivity in Sin is over! Ask & receive faith to follow in His footsteps. And as we see in His path to the cross, He was helped by a man; so in turn He helps Man carry his cross every moment of every day! Come to Christ Jesus and drink freely of Living waters to be a Spirit of Light to Praise God Forever.

Another precious verse you've given, Bendito, proving the eternal existence of Jesus, the Word, Who shared in the Glory of God.

Gods people are of the light , we are not in the darkness wondering what is next to happen , like the coming of the Lord we see it coming , and read and understand the Bible like Matthew 24 and Luke 21 and Book of Daniel , revelation etc . It's no mystery to know the season , but the day and hour only the father knows . We are not even close to the Lords coming yet , but it could be this generation as well . A generation is 120 yrs , or less .

We are not appointed to wrath so watch and pray to be ready , even if you die you will be resurrected at that time , let's not be ashamed by our life , but rejoice to see the day while men head for the caves because of their sins.

All this Rapture nonsense is not in the Bible .

Why do people NEED a choice on PRE, MID, or POST Tribulation RAPTURE!???

Everybody thinks they must makes choice about every Daffy Duck, bugs bunny or Wiley Coyote scenario?

Jesus is stressing that no one knows! He doesn't know! Only Father God knows and He is only willing to hint at SIGNS ALL OCCURING SIMULTANEOUSLY at the same moment in time.

THAT WOULD BE NOW!!

There's no first, second or 3rd class. That was many people selling books to be enriched by sales. Look at all those rapture books on Amazon! Which one do you buy into?

Doesn't it make sense to BUY into what Jesus Christ our Savior said about it??

Be Ready

Be Watching

Have Your Lamps filled with Holy Spirits Oil

Look Up

Watch and Pray that you may ESCAPE

He's coming as a thief in the Night: which means our society will be Spiritually Dark..like it is NOW.

Those kids that you love and would do anything for: need to get born again now!

We're going to know each other in heaven. Have a family meeting and pray the prayer together. Back on the opening page of this website is a LINK, "Become A Christian". It's enough to get the kids and others you love and will miss terribly (if they neglect so great a salvation)...saved!

Wearing crosses and Christian tee shirts will not get us into heaven. You have to be born again as written in John chapter 3. You can't be ashamed of carrying a Bible; reading it; saying "in Jesus Name, Satan get out of my life!!! We have to renew our minds on scripture so we can live cleaner and stop cursing and swearing. I know it's hard, but the Holy Spirit will help you. I got totally off drugs and alcohol in a week! That's a miracle. Let your faith shake heaven For everyone's deliverance. Throw out anything remotely like an idol.

Don't miss your chance to be ready NOW.

I am praying that God will bless us all and help us to get strength from each other, and the Holy Spirit who undertakes & undergirds you're strength and faith.

Mishael

Adam please read the testimony of 1john1 again, Then read my exhortation ................

The discussion was not concerning Sin but JOY! I perceive the person to be young in the Lord; comparing their Joy to someone else.Not realizing the spirit now that he /she is born again is now in the process of renewing their mind; being renewed as the milk of the word is received ;Sanctify them through thy truth:thy word is truth St. John 17;17

As a sinner, nothing we could have done or didnt do would have made us worthy in the sight of God except what the testimony stated,I have

confessed and I believe I've been forgiven. The scripture says, Grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ! I guarantee His full joy will come...Dont compare, what he has for you, is for You. i AGREE we must have a spiritual walk.but, We naturally or Spiritually cant walk at Birth. The devil is the accuser to reminds you of Past sins But God threw then in the sea of his forgetfulness...Praise

Almighty God....To answer your question about your conscious I dont know when But I do know He keeps His Word. He did it for me and everyone

he delivers from sin and shame. The scriptues even states some of our past life 1st corinth.6:9-11vrs.

We thank our Father, God, for The Gift...Jesus and everthing we need for life and godliness flows out of Him Joy is included..You dont realllly know

what you got inside. 1john1 Love yaa with the love of the lord...you are on my prayer list now.. I dont care what else he gives you Salvation is the ultimate thing to praise him and be joyfull or full of Joy about Adam you also join us in our prayer and praise for 1john1 also pray for me.
