Is the word of God not what it is? Surely, the word of God shall forever remain true.

Considering this was written almost two thousand years ago to 'shew.. things which must shortly come to pass', isn't it taking things a bit far to interpret them as being about current or future events? I think it is, and that we Christians should attempt to go beyond popular far fetched theories that do us more harm than good. May God bless us in our studies, in Jesus name. Amen!

I have a question about Verses 14 and 15. Why would he need a mark on his forhead? Who is going to find him?

My concern lies within Exodus 20:4 5. The Bible says: "Thou shall not make thyself any graven image, of any likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth." Verse 5 says, "Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them for I the Lord is a jealous God... "I am a Core Catholic!" Then, my concern relies on whether the "Images Chaplets" and other 'Sacramentals' used by the Catholic Church Worldwide violates this particular Law since they only make use of them bow down to them in acknowledgment of God in Heaven, and not for any other god on earth or anywhere else. In fact, I have heard so many Christians of other faiths like: The Lords Chosen, RCC, Assemblies of God Church etc criticising Catholic Church and their Doctrines. Some even go a long mile condemning them aptly reckoning it as an "Occultic Church." But still, the same people, 'll take pictures, enlarged images and keep for themselves, make larges format prints and place in their Churches even at their altars without using them in God's glory. So who is doing the right thing?

I agree with most of Bob K's intreprtation of Daniel chapter 8. The one thing in my opinion I differ from Bob is I don't believe the first beast is coming from the Holy Roman Empire. He's coming out of the pit of hell resurrected by Satan. Remember the people wonder at the beast because he was wounded and came back to life? My opinion the anti-christ is Nimrod. Right out of the pit of hell restored head back on!

Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. You can punish chastise a child for disobeying, but can you cruelly and unjustly punish that child? GOD made us like HIM, to have desire and have to deny it.

Everyone seems to pretend not to understand the post by Abbas James, where he said God speaks before things happen. None is seeing that someone here is implying that God gave the command to Israel because of the heathen nations around. Even the person didn't bother telling us what was meant by the "pertaineth", he just finagled away from it. Another appealed to "Women of God" who wear what they like and do great things... someone even said it wasn't addressed in the NT. Was the Bible supposed to be "NT re-addressing what is addressed in the OT"? Is the NT the "two edged sword" of God Almighty? Why is none defining the "pertaineth" and the "abomination"? And, why do we disagree that unisex clothing was never started by Christians-strictly defined? Where is a woman seen listed among those who go to war in Scriptures, and what weapons were they to use that might have differed from that of men? Which weapons do American women armies use? When did women start going to war?... Why are we deceiving ourselves, modifying the innerrant and unmistakable Word? Let me ask this, pls: now that a woman can be modestly adorned in women trousers, pls, how can a man be modestly adorned in male skirts? Thanks for your answer. Greetings from Nigeria.

Jesus have come to give us life. Thanks to Jesus for sheding his precious blood to us in order for us to have life in abundance. We are save by his Grace and not of what we have done. Our job now is to believe Jesus that he is our Savior and obey his words. Without obedience to his words and be Born Again in Spirit its impossible for us to enter into the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is within us. What a lovely Holy Father and our God is faithful to his words and promises. Because of his mercy and love to us he has anointed us with oil. When God is with us who can be againsts us?.. I will continue praising God and thanking God for everything he have done into our lives for he is worthy to be praised. Amen

I would to have a clarity on Matth25:20. Why Jesus warned them in that way? And why it shall be terrible for pregnant woman and nursing mothers?

I love this particular chapter in Isaiah... but the verses that speak to me the most are 1 2... At one point in my walk with God I'd reached a place of indecisiveness, and I didn't know when it was that the Lord wanted me to do? I was yet rather young in the faith at the time...so as I search the scripture for answers, God directed me Isaiah 54 and kept me right there for quite some times...I didn't know what He wanted me to see until after reading, and studying this chapter over and over again. The first two verses seem to be highlighted in me spirit man so clear ! As a child of God, being saved by grace...it is my reasonable service to share the good news of salvation with other that know not of God's free gift unto salvation, and of the price Jesus paid that they might attain His gift... In verses 1 2 this is what became clear to me, is that God is saying to his people, that there are "so many people out here" vs1 more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord . Vs 2 "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitation:spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes" This spoke volumes to me. There is a lot of work to be done, people are dying without knowing they have a Savior... in vs 1 He's letting us know that there's more "children of God then a wife could ever have "

When was the ark moved from Jerusalem 1King 8, to Kirjathjearim? Verse 4. Book,chater and verse. Thank you

Faith Edet God was first speaking of the world that was, actually it was an earth age before this one we live now in the flesh. Earth was created beautiful Isaiah 45 vs 18 and then it got destroyed in Jeremiah 4 vs 22-27 God with His wisdom created earth written in Proverbs 8 vs 23 to 31 and then Satan wanted to be a god Ezekiel 28 and in Revelation 12 Satan stole a third of Gods stars, Gods children, and did cast them to earth Matt. 13 vs 36-44. To put this all together we lived on earth where Satan stole one third of the children in a political move to overthrow God but God got mad and shut off the lights then He turned on the lights He separated the children of darkness from the children of light. In Genesis 1 vs 2 the word was is 1961 in the Strong 's hayah and it translates became without form and void. Anyway 1000 years is just 1 day and how long is the day of the Lord going to be? 1000 years. Just thoughts that might help you.

Father I just love this photo and the Word that goes with it. This so much reminds me of the time as a child when for a year I lived in your healing peace. Looking up at Mr Sampson him asking me "are you sure you want to walk with Jesus? Make me like Him Chriss make me like Him " I didn 't like to go to Church but I loved mens bilble study. Peace I felt so much Father its been a long time running wild in the wilderness 38 years last night you gave me what I have needed for so long to man up Gods way!! I don 't have to ask for forgiveness I have repented to you today praying over my Blessing My Noble Wife Heidi your beloved Daughter your gift to me. Now as we begin a period of healing and peace I thank you for your Son Jesus when you played that song for me about Jesus climbing up on that cross for us it was a simple thing to man up too. Jesus thank you for not just walking off into the desert when the Pharacies came to arrest you saying "Stop Petert it must be done " through you Lord Jesus have I come to the Father. I say all this in Jesus Name Amen.

i name my son marcus, wanna know if the name is good?

What is the "doctrine of baptisms " mentioned in Hebrews 6: 2? It is, first of all, one doctrine not three. It is, however, a three-fold manifestation of the one doctrine. First, it is the doctrine of water baptism as represented in the ritual washing in the Temple worship and John 's baptism. Second, it the doctrine of spiritual baptism as when one has been baptized into the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ by way of His cross. Third, it is the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, whom Christ said He would pray the Father to send to all who believed in Him to act in His stead. The first baptism is an ordnance of the Church and signifies the new birth. The second baptism is the sacrament of the new birth which is accomplished by the faith of man working with the grace and mercy of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ upon the Cross. The third baptism is the power of God that enables man to operate on a spiritually higher level in Christ Jesus. It is the "law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Now you don 't need to accept my definition and you may refute my reasoning. However, I want to remind you that a three-legged dog can walk just not as good as a dog with four legs.

Interesting math work: Adam was around to see Methuselah 's day, but not Lamech 's and 1656 years from Adam 's day until the great flood started... On that note: Methuselah was 969 years old his death age in the year of the flood--I wonder if he died with the flood? He would have been the only one mentioned in here old enough to have possibly seen the flood, with the notable exceptions of Noah and his children.

Pastor Eleazar, what do you mean that 65 year old Enoch began to observe how helpless a child could be without a primary care-giver? He lived 300 years after Methuselah and had sons and daughters and was taken. What makes Methuselah any different from the others? Just curious...I 'm not seeing something you saw.. thanks, rick

Where did the word "still " come from? I have always heard it quoted as such! But I cannot find that! We aren 't suppose to " add to " His Word so I 'd like to know.

PSALM 46:10 HE SAID BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD! WHEN YOU BELIEVE HE WILL SUBDUE OUR ENEMIES WHICH IS THE HEATHENS BECAUSE OF THE EVIL PEOPLE DO IN THE SIGHT OF GOD BECAUSE OF DIS-BELIEF! GOD IS WATCHING NO MATTER WHAT. HOW CAN YOU SAY I LOVE GOD BUT YOU THINK AND DO EVIL TO YOUR NEIGHBOR? I CONSIDER THAT ANTI-CHRIST. DO YOU SEE CHRISTIANS IN THAT WORD? WORDS ARE A PIZZLE JIDDEN IN A WORD LIKE GOD dog. Be BLESS AND LISTEN TO GOD FROM YOUR HEART TO YOUR MIND. IF ITS POSITIVE THATS GOD! IF ITS NEGATIVE THATS THE DEVIL!!! JESUS SAID IF YE HAVE DONE THIS TO THE LEAST OF ONE OF THESE YOU HAVE DONE IT TO HIM! YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW

The Bible makes things real simple, but sometimes we have to make it complicated. Jehovah God encourages us to be truthful, and direct. Imagine how easier life would be if we were direct instead of all this indirect, passive aggressive behavior so common today. Also, Yes I do agree with you Mike, If your yes is yes, and no is no, then what more do we need to swear on something?

If were in the dark guess who ant thier..?..god..he is light. He dont have communion with darkness ..this is not class 101..but basic truth Darkness is fellowship with evil

verse 29-see Romans 6:3-5 "Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death..... "

Why the last portion of verse 27 is saying "He created him male and female " and not He created them male and female? Because the verse is talking about two persons. Please help me understand.

Yes, I got the Tree of life and the Tree of "Knowledge of Good and evil " mixed up. Sorry. That is a good question. Perhaps it is a fruit that no mortal man 's tongue has ever tasted? Perhaps it is what is given to our souls when we are born again into life eternal?

How many times have you "breezed past " Genesis Chapter 1:4? Have you ever noticed that God SEPARATED light and darkness--indicating that at one time, they may have actually been intertwined with each other, if only for a brief moment? That 's not doctrine... just something to think about!

The LORD is mighty in Strength , and therefore deserved PRAISE from all places, from every living Soul, He is the BREATH or the LIFE we live, and LIFE is ETERNAL, if WE remain FAITHFUL to HIM, HE will Retain OUR LIFE which is a gift of HIMSELF he gave to US, but if we become DISOBEDIENT , We will LOOSE HIM, meaning Losing our LIFE. Let my soul bless the LORD, Let every living thing Praise HIM , for He is WORTHY of OUR Praise. John11:25-26. 25Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, 26and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this? " PRAISE

For Robert and whosoever...Beloved brother, how can we do anything that the Word of God commands? Some followers of Christ asked this question in John 6:28. What must we do to do the works of God? in the next verse, the Lord answers, 'This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him Whom He hath sent. ' It 's by faith, brother. In Acts 15:8-9, talking about the Jews ' and the Gentiles ' part in the Lord 's salvation, it says in verse 8 that God does this by His Spirit, and in verse 9, purifying their hearts by faith. It 's not by our power or might, because as you 've said, there 's no good in us, it is by His Spirit. How we must purify ourselves is by prayer, because the faith that God gives us causes us to pray. That 's our part. The work of the Cross is indeed a finished work and it 's only by His Blood, but as we believe, we pray and we read the Word, because this is faith in action. It 's constant repentance, turning to Him in faith, calling on Him to help us to pray and read His Word. We are justified by faith, but we are continuously being sanctified by abiding in His Word and prayer, because this is how we walk with Him. We see this in John 13 where Peter tells the Lord that He must not wash his feet, and the Lord says, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. We must experience this ongoing work of sanctification every day. We do this by continuing in His Word and prayer.

It does not say they didnt die, flesh and blood can not enter Heaven. I think they went to Paradice, Why?because Jesus had to be the first. He ha Preminance over every one, also his blood had to be sprinkled on the mercy seat. What do you think? God Bless Tommy P

we need to study words in the Word. and know the history of the time. First if you study the words, it is referring to war garments, something prepared, i.e. any apparatus as an implement, utensil, dress, vessel or weapon :--armour -bearer , artillery, bag, carriage, furnish, and males in armies of the heathen around them, would put a dress womans robe, over their armor to sneak attack enemy, it was a disguise to get in close to attack. And this is part of the law of moses which was nailed to the cross according to Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross there are various 'laws ' in the bible, the law of moses is gone, it was a civil code for that nation alone, and ceremonial laws which were done away with at the cross, their are health laws that we are not 'under the law ' but we should follow for our own health sake, and the moral law, the 10 commandments which are eternal. SO where in the NT is this issue addressed ? and even in this Deut 22 it is not what everyone thinks.
