Susan, your question is difficult to answer as it would require us to judge another person, which only God can do. What I can say, is that anyone who is not a Christian according to Christ's Gospel is destined for Hell, a place of suffering & complete separation from God. See John 3:16: the word 'perish' there is 'an utter, permanent destruction'. We know that the spirit of man can never be destroyed - it will always live on; so this destruction will be the opposite to eternal life with God, & it is eternal death away from God, with the Devil.

So, such a person partaking of Communion is separated from God, destined for hell anyway. Unlike the person who is saved through faith in Jesus' death & resurrection, that person will one day be with God & so Communion is a special time to remember the Lord in His Sacrifice for us & what a great salvation He has given us.

But there are some who put on a 'Christian face' on Sundays, & live despicable lives the rest of the week. That is why the apostle Paul gave the warning in 1 Cor 11:29,30: "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep." To those that come to the Lord's Table (Communion) in an unworthy manner (i.e. living a double life of hypocrisy, harbouring unconfessed sin, or even expecting that they can receive some blessing by partaking of Communion), they do it unto "damnation" of their souls & may even experience physical ruin or 'sleep' (a euphemism for death).

If someone is not sure about their salvation, I strongly suggest that they don't partake of Communion & spend time in God's Word & Prayer, so that God may speak to them about their sin & lead them to repentance & salvation. Not knowing if you are saved can be a terrifying state to be in; when a person is truly born again of the Spirit, the Spirit confirms this clearly in the heart, leaving no doubts.

Just follow the steps. This website actually has a brown box out on the entry page you can click on(today)

**************************

If you feel compelled to take your first step towards God, you can do that right now wherever you are.

1. Acknowledge the Problem: We have all sinned, and that sin separates us from God

No matter how good you think you are, no matter how many good things you try to do, it is still not good enough to get into heaven; it can't be earned but is a gift.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

"And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; all these evil things come from within, and defile the man." Mark 7:20-23

2. Discover the Solution: Jesus

The only way for God to bridge the gap between Himself and us is through His Son, Jesus Christ. His death was a substitute for us; He paid the penalty for our sins.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." I Peter 3:18

"Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12

The idea is not to hoard cash, but use it regularly instead of the cashless system. If people use it , it will take longer to lose it. The future of eftpos is an implant into the body "hand" or facial recognition "the fore head" . If anyone submits to this voluntarily, they give their person to the world system and no longer to God. They will become enslaved and marked, easily manipulated and tracked, they will no longer be free.

I would like to share with me the meaning of this version: PSALM 91: 1-2 and verses 15-16...

Thank you and God bless.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Genesis 2

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

25 And they were both naked, the man and his WIFE, and were not ashamed.

God planned marriage from the start. He officiated at that marriage. Eve was called His Wife.

Me: to know what is right and to do it are two different things. You can do it according as God meant it's to be or you can spin it some other way.

1 Timothy 4:3 actually says that in the last days before Jesus returns: SOCIETY would forbid people to eat meat, or get married!

Read it.

1 Corinthians 7 covers subjects pertaining to marriage.

Click on the links to prove me knowledgeable or nutcase.

You'll always be happier following Jesus and using the Bible as a light for your path. Don't listen to society.

The reason why I mentioned it, is because of the book of 1 ENOCH.

He was the 7th from Adam and was the go-between for the Watchers and God in heaven.

Their children were the giants( Nephilim), as you mentioned.

Their spirits became demons.... the powers of the Air, as mentioned in Ephesians 6 verse 12 and on.

And THAT IS WHO WE ARE UP AGAINST.

with Satan in charge of these powers.

... of course using the Synagogue of Satan ( or human dupes), as mentioned in Revelation 3.

Now, ask yourself, how many Christians even know that.

Anyway... cheers.

Read John 1, and pay close attention the the "Word", particularly in verse 14. I pray this helps.

I believe this.... after 40 years "on the job".

I belonged to Charismatic-type churches until 2002...

AND THEN I WOKE UP.

There is NO revival....scratch that.

What is coming is the martyrdom of the Christians...look around you.

The Synagogue of Satan is closing in now >>> Revelation 3.

Satan is a master of cunning, and has fooled the Happy-clapping emotion-driven congregants.

As I found out, FEW of them even read a Bible...no...they are more into "Christian" book-stores and the latest trend, etc.

Since March 2020, the Western economy has started collapsing.... STEP 1 in progress.

What will come is massive unemployment.... add that to Step 1.

And what is forming is CHAOS.... which will lead to evermore tyrannical lock-down laws.

( we used to call it Martial Law. )

TV, newspapers are all owned by the Synagogue of Satan Jews.... see mileswmathis and add a dot com.

GO READ IT.

And by the way, these Jews are NOT LIKE NORMAL JEWS.

They are the 0.01 % who own it all.

So, we have a constant propaganda whirlpool of noise

And here we are in July 2020, and they are messing with everyone's heads.

And IT WILL WORK because most people are dumbed-down since the 60s.

Jesus Christ and martyrdom.

So , get ready....DO NOT FEAR.

John 14 verses 1 to 6 sustain me.

All the best on your side.

Cheers.

Explain the parable of the fig tree. We are commanded to learn it

I hear you, Ruth.

Now, if you want to know how stuff really works in this world....your CHOICE, of course...

then go read a guy called mileswmathis.......and add a dot com.

And you will see, how the elite families, via the CIA, have infiltrated ALL churches.

ALL.....get it ?

Of course, you can just ignore this info and move on.

I prefer to be informed.

....the Churches of today are all just hollow.

FAKE.

Mishael - I agree and non GMO seeds are the way to go. What the Lord created is right and not what mankind / satan messes with and destroys. right now it is very difficult to find places that even have seeds for sale and non gmo also.

Hosstools has seeds in stock and you can ask them about gmo. anything that says Heirloom means non gmo. they have lots of heirloom products. My old sources for seeds are either sold out or only selling to commercial concerns.

Things are bad and shall get worse. Any nation that tolerates the church of satan in their midst deserves what she is going to get. The US military has chaplains for the church of satan. I suppose their "gospel" is just be yourself....

I think Greg is wrong here. I think it was as simple as it reads when Ham barges in on a drunk and naked Noah and his other sons walk in respectfully backwards and cover him up. No mention of Mrs Noah so best not to add to scripture and paint a wrong picture. Virtually no people on earth and poor Noah still can't get a bit of privacy.

Bob,

I agree. Seeds do sound more valuable than gold or silver. It makes me wonder now, if it's possible to obtain non-gmo seeds? I'll have to check that out.

Pond water purification machines.

It's going to be real hard for people to get medications they're going to need. We don't have the knowledge to look for plants that are medicinal. Folk medicine.

The other side of this is why not skip silly plans to survive the wholesale destruction of humans who refuse to worship Antichrist?

They're just living moment to moment.

People don't want to believe that God is going forth with end time plans. They just don't think about anything eternal.

I'm just praying that in heaven there will be no memory of all those that chose death, rather than life everlasting.

I guess the time to grieve is now. Maybe we'll be strong and preach Life to our families now.

It's hard to see crowds of hundreds of people rioting and know one day their voices will turn to weeping and regret. Too late to do anything.

The police that Antichrist employs won't care what their issues are. They'll have real bullets and use them. Those people are as blinded and deafened as the Jews that believe there is no way that God will abandon them to their choices. I believe the 144,000 will preach salvation and then that's the end of striving to save chronic unbelievers.

I want to be at the Wedding Supper of the Son of God! No more tears and painful heartache of loss. I want to hold my grandma's hand and my parents. My whole life has been defined by helping the helpless. My spirit yearns for release to live in joy and freedom.

What a fabulous book of practical wisdom ! I wish I read this years ago , it should be in the KJV where it belongs !

Good day!! what were the occupations of jesus disciples and the reference scriptures for them please? thank you!! be safe!!! be calm!!! keep looking up!!!!

Hard to say if Abram was being a faithless chicken or being lead by God here. I think he would have been OK if he didn't lie about Sarai as God would have somehow shielded him anyway, but fear is a very human trait even in great men and in the end God took a bad situation and made it a good one as he does for all of us who love him.

The thing that makes the bible so special, is that it doesn't mask or hide the weaknesses of the heros in it. They are just people like us, frail and vulnerable and making many mistakes as we make our journey toward heaven and rely on our Lord to help us.

Don't over read scripture, Noah was drunk and alone in his tent. His boys walked backward and covered him up . The wife was nowhere around. In a world with virtually no people Noah still couldn't get some privacy. The wine can make you say things you may regret.

what's going on around us is for a reason,we have slow down spending time with god and made time for everthing else...

so this pandemic is here now. i can't speak for no one but myself it truely got my attention. i had to repent and start my first work over..I'm getting back focus. god is calling for his people to repent and go back serving only him. but with all of this going on it is bringing families back together and getting back in touch with love ones and loving and caring again...so something postive has come out of this.at times i just go off and pray and cry out for mercy for the world.it can be depressing at times because we as a nation is not use to this new normal... people of god it's time to repent and pray for the world...be blessed and stay healthy ....GOD BLESS EVERYONE...

Why is it so important to get married? Who has to marry a couple for it to be right with God?

I am not claiming anything, just pointing out the silence on the Bible on who is the wife of Noah.

possibly this was Ham's stepmom is all. Of course it could be his mother, just the Bible is silent on the exact specifics is all.

Ask this group where they have authority to do this in the Bible.

Sounds more like familiar spirits and witchcraft which is forbidden.

You could ask them to renounce Satan.

Ask if Jesus Christ is God in the flesh and do they serve him as Lord.

an answer would be interesting

If you take communion and you're not sure if you're saved and truly believe will you go to hell

I am reading some very disturbing things lately. They are regarding the Catholic church. I was born and raised a Catholic. I pray to God daily, I thank the Lord daily for my many blessings that have been given to me. I talk to God daily, asking for guidance, forgiveness and protection upon my family, friends and this world.

But upon reading some of the things that have been floating out and around, stating that Catholics are a false church, anti-christ etc. It has me rather unsettled to read such things. My mother came from a devout Catholic home. How could something so beautiful, a devout relationship with the Lord, God be painted in such a horrible way?

Looking for some insight, to settle my soul.

Thank you,

Teresa

According to the bible, you wouldn't be considered married to your husband, because of the adultery on your end. Your adultery freed him from his oath.

Matthew 19:9 - And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Therefore, avoid fornication on both parts, you both will need to stay single in purity or remarry each other.

Yes, the Lord will forgive you. But, repentance is more than a prayer, it's a lifestyle. You must continually turn away from a lifestyle of sin. If your ex-husband was mean to you before, given the circumstances, that may not change. In God's eyes, I believe you are still married to him. However, you left him for a reason. I wouldn't go back to that type of bondage. As someone mention earlier, you can help him in other ways. You don't have to sleep in the same bed or be intimate with him. You can stay separated, but you will not have rights to remarry while your ex-husband is living. My recommendation is to regard purity.

Charles Jordan,

Concerning the word NEPHILIM

The word "giants" ( Genesis 6:4) is the English transliteration of the Hebrew word "nephiyl" (Strong's #5303) and means; a feller, a bully or tyrant- a giant.

This word "nephiyl" is a derivative of the primitive root "naphal" (Strong's #5307) and means; to FALL (in a great variety of applications), and is used in Scripture for the following words:

cast down- (fallen angels) look at the book of Jude

cease

die- (what Satan and the angels are guaranteed of)

fall away

fugitive- (Cain, product of Satan and Eve)

(cause to) lie down- (Satan and Eve in the Garden)

lying

overthrow

(make to) rot

slay

throw down:

It is now PLAIN TO SEE that the progenitors of the giants were the angels.

The Hebrew language is the language of God.

Hebrew is the language God used to form heaven and earth and everything into existence.

"and God SAID" ( Genesis 1:3)

Hebrew is the only language on the planet that is both phonetic and pictorial.

The Hebrew number system is contained within it's 22 letter aleph-bet.

Learning Biblical Hebrew = a deeper understanding of Scripture.

Has our country is being attacked by the demoms of Satan. Our we to just sit back and watch or stand up for jesus i stand for jesus. But how do we try and kmow the right way to address those against us.

Herman Dcouto,

Jesus died on what we call Wednesday just before sundown.

Wednesday sundown to Thursday sundown = 1 day (first night and day in the tomb)

Thursday sundown to Friday sundown = 1 day (second night and day in the tomb)

Friday sundown to Saturday sundown = 1 day (third night and day in the tomb)

Mary came to the sepulchre at daybreak Sunday.

Look at Matthew 12:40.

Jesus rose at some time between Saturday sundown and Sunday morning.

The "high day" of John 19:31 was the first day of the feast (Passover), and is considered a high holy Sabbath day.

The first day of the Feast was a Thursday (15th day of Nisan- April 3/4). The 15th day of Nisan commenced at sunset on what we would still call the 14th.

Jesus was crucified on the 14th, the "preparation day" ( John 19:31), and by law the crucified bodies should not remain on the cross on a Sabbath day. Jesus was put in the tomb before sunset on Wednesday the 14th.

The "first day of the week" ( Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1-), the day of the Resurrection, was from our Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset.

Jesus was to be the Lamb slain, and His crucifixion took place on the "preparation day" ( John 19:14) when all lambs were slaughtered for the great Passover Feast the NEXT day.

The Last Supper DID NOT take place on the day of Passover, look at Matthew 27:62, Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:14, John 19:31-42.

The "third day" of Matthew 16:21 is not the third day of the great Feast, but the third day of our Lord and Savior being in the tomb.

The Hebrew calendar used at the time of Jesus counted a full day from sunset to sunset, not midnight to midnight.

The Hebrew 24 hour period of time is broken up into two 12 hour segments. The first segment is from 6 pm until 6 am. The second segment is from 6 am until 6 pm.

The "third hour" of the day in Mark 15:25 when Christ was crucified is 9 am

The "ninth hour" when He gave up the ghost is 3 pm.

In Hebrews, Paul speaks to his own. These days, where our world is in danger of imploding on itself for pestilence and racial warfare, corruption of our government, in part facilitated by right wing Christians and their weeping for donation preachers. To whom shall we turn for truth, for our daily bread? I find that there is noone. Of course, all on this site say it's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. That does me no good. Born again is any empty cliche! But I do read the bible religously and am comforted by God, El Shaddai, my creator who sits in Zion and is a God of Gods. His Son's are those who obey the Pact, which He spoke to Moses in the dessert. He is both Creator and Destroyer. He requires obedience un questioned and rewards accordingly.

Truth in the Scripture

John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If ANY man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And WHOSOEVER will, let him take the water of life freely.

Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
