This world the lord so love in john 3 vs 16, is the World of Israel. Not the entire earth. The lord love his people. Who did Christ dies for? All Christians who believe in him? Lies and deceptions. Who this bible written about? Israel. Who are the Gentiles spoken about in the bible? Still Israel

The scripture was not saying for us to now eat unclean food and was not referring to that either. The vision Peter had was that Cornelius was consider a Gentile and unclean according to the Jews, but the Lord was teaching Peter not to call any man common or unclean. Read verse 28 again and you will see it was Man that was unclean and not unclean food. Would you eat cat, mice, dog, horse, which are all unclean animals?

Where in the scripture did it say that Paul was a Jew then got converted. my question is, converted to what? Christianity? I think not. The gentiles in the book of Acts is about the Jews who did not know they were Jews. Read the entire book of Acts. Paul did not convert to anything. He was brought up in the law and was considered a Pharasee who persecuted the Jews who beleive in Christ until he met Christ who told him to stop. His mission was to preach Christ to
the Gentiles(Jews) that were scattered throughout different location. Read Acts 11 vs 19 tells you that they preach to no other but the jews not everyone.

Ladies you r such a wonderful asset. Great for teaching Sunday school,teaching other women etc.. But God has his qualifications for church leadership. I'm sorry but the word dose say u must be! Not should be, not could be or maybe be U must be the husband of one wife. How can u fill that if ur not a man? Everyone has testimony thank God for it, but that does'nt make u called to Pastor, all the preists of Levi were men, all the apostles were men, get my drift? Levi was the ministry tribe. Everyone has there place, God left pastoring to men because that's the way he saw fit to do it. So sisters we welcome ur wisdom,streanth,

I would like to address these comments by 1st saying I respect yr opinions. When Jesus was a baby who was over the universe? Remember,like anyone else God has attributes. One of his is that he is omni present, he created as spirit and that same spirit wrapped itself in flesh Col 3:16 for great is the mystery of godliness, For without controversy God was manifested in the what? the Flesh! justified in the spirit seen of angels,preached unto the gentiles and recieved into glory who asended? Jesus Christ Right? We just need to take it as its written and believe him for who he is! His name means whatMatt2 God with us right? It didn't say a part of God 1/2 of God. see what I mean? Did not he proclaim in Rev that he is the 1st and last the begin/ending he said he was the almighty! how many all mighties do u need. God bless, chaz from durham nc.

This chapter reminds me of my weaknesses as a human being created by the Father. It reminds me of the truth that God is powerful than any living and non-living creatures, that I am always His follower and He as my God. This reminds me of my imperfections and that being imperfect I sometimes easily get tempted of unkindly things. But God is powerful and divine; why did he NOT make us perfect like Him too? Why did he have to create the Fruit of the Tree? I have always faith in God, and I know that as long as I read the Bible I will NOT get lost and He will always give me the answers.

v.50: Whose ear was cut off which Jesus replaced?

God is a God of order,he leaves nothing to happenstance,he tells you exactly what he wants no guessing,therefore no need to hurt your head.If he did not instruct moses and Aron what to do they would do as they thought was right, but isn't God wonderful?

Jony, you are about silly. What is your agenda?

if we drift away from living by godly standards,why is confession to God necessary for us to return to living by godly standards?

There is a song that goes, What a mighty God we serve. A God of order and wisdom. Any challenger?

I love it. . . I say this because there is always a season for uplifts, downfalls, and etc. But the most important thing is what and how we approach our seasons. We can do great things in a season to be blessed and highly favored. Or you can be nasty and rude and that can determine a season you walk in. We make a season before we enter in a season. You can sow for your seasons; you can sow good or bad not with just money, but with how you act. . . You reap what you sow. . . Think about it. . . What season did you just walked into? Spring is here. . . How you going to step into your next season which is summer? Blessed or Cursed?

v.3: where? how long? v.7: appointed time? time of their coming? v.11: daughter of my people? v.15: We? v.19: daughter of my people...? that dwell in a far country....?

Know ye not, that so many of us were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, not father,son, and Holy Ghost, was part of the salvation message delivered on the Day of Pentecost by Peter. If you haven't taken on His Name in water baptism, Please obey and be a partaker of his death and God will fill you with the Holy Ghost which symbolizes His resurrection. God bless.

I,like Hector(earlier comment), wonder who the other's were? Specifically Cain's wife?

a prophet prohetized to me and said i was like the rev 10; 1-2. but he never told me what was the meaning of it. can anyone tell me?

v.13: What are the claims of man walking into the light? v.19-20: Jesus is the light? v.26:Baptisism by water? By any method? v.28: I am not the Christ, but that I am sent here before him?

as a kid growing up,situations arose where a friend might be lying to me ,but not sure.we would say,"HONEST TO GOD" to each other and out of a fear of GOD,would have to fess up.sound familiar?this helps me in this verse.pray im not wrong.

eagles are majestic!even they will disappear,i think.could there be eagles in HEAVEN?we shall see !

I am confused, Lot says his two daughters are virgins in verse 8, but by verse 14, he has sons-in-laws?

Just had this discussion with a friend and I would like an opinion regarding Verse 15: And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

I have been told by several sources that this is the verse where "Black People" have become to be known as the "descendants of Cain", and continue to be maltreated because of this belief.

But looking at what this verse says, it does not indicate that Cain's complexion changed, it says "God set a mark upon Cain". Was it a birthmark? A scar? How do people see this as a change of complexion?

The Mormon religion for decades discriminated against black people based upon that belief, and I have many Caucasian non-Mormon friends who believe this to be true.

Anthony,
'Trinity' is found NOWHERE in the Bible. the Trinity concept was created in 325 A.D. by the Catholic Council of Nicea. In fact the early church never had a question about who GOD was and who Jesus was. The Jewish faith believes in 1 Most High God and that a Messiah will come in the flesh to bring salvation. This makes 2 people. NOT 3. Jesus himself claimed to be GOD's SON - not GOD. and GOD spoke out of heaven proclaiming Jesus as 'MY SON in whom I am well pleased'. the demons who were cast out of people recognized Jesus as 'the SON of the Most High'. and 1 John warns us about those who don't believe Jesus is the Messiah who comes in the flesh - he calls them 'anti-Christ'. Read the 1st 15 chapters of John and just look at the relationship Jesus has with his Father and how they talk - it will be UNMISTAKEABLE that they are 2 separate beings and that Jesus is lesser than GOD. So you have the statements of GOD, Jesus, the Jewish Leaders, the demons ALL agreeing that they are 2 separate beings and that the MOST HIGH GOD is greater than Jesus. If someone believes in Trinity - than they are 'against' the concept of the Messiah ('Anti-Christ'), and are calling GOD and Jesus liars.

Even the old testament gives us an example that help us to see the Truth. the Ark of the Covenant had 2 cherubims on top with wings touching (2 not 3) and stated that 'the covenant of Peace was between them both'. Jesus stated that 'the Words I speak are not mine, but the Fathers' and 'the Works I do are not mine, but the Fathers' and 'know you not I must be about my Fathers business?' and that he came to do 'the WILL of my Father' and he told the disciples 'NO man has heard the Father's Voice or seen his shape' (would have made Jesus a liar if he really was GOD- and we all know that GOD doesn't lie.)

Read Hebrews 1 - verses 1-9 -- and you will clearly see who Jesus is. and who GOD is.

Simply put:
1.) GOD made Jesus. Jesus was the first thing GOD created (the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the beginning of the creation of GOD, the First Begotten, the ONLY Begotten).
2.) Then GOD gave Jesus the WORD and the Power and 'thru him made he all the worlds'. so Jesus did the work, but it was GOD's work and resources and power.
3.) Jesus gave up his life in Heaven to become FLESH - spent 33.5 yrs conquering ALL Sin (a living example of the WORD - pure OBEDIENCE to GOD)(the WORD made Flesh)
4.) returned to Heaven to 'share' GOD's throne (sitting on the right hand of GOD)(Revelations 3:21 if you overcome all your sin - you get to sit on Jesus's throne with him, just like Jesus overcame all sin and sits on GOD's throne WITH him!)
5)Jesus sent back the Holy Ghost for the Believers. the Holy Ghost is a power, it is GOD's LifeForce. All created things exist in it/because of it. Jesus received it 'without measure' it is the force that is 'greater is he that's in me, than he that's in the world'. the Holy Ghost is a Gift, and it is 'how' GOD and Jesus make their abode in you. when you receive it - it is planted in you, your sinful spirit is Re-Born and the Holy Ghost is with you 24/7. we are commanded to 'stir it up', to pray 'in' it, and the Holy Ghost has 'operations and administrations', and 'was present to heal'. The Holy Ghost knows the Mind of God and knows your mind - it prays with your spirit to get things done for you. it is compared to a 'wind', 'smoke', 'oil', 'fire', 'water', 'still small voice', and is what Anoints everything. Jesus said that without the Holy Ghost - you couldn't 'see' the Kingdom of God and couldn't 'enter' in. it is the Holy Ghost thru which 'all revelation comes' -- you just simply won't be able to understand the mysteries of the kingdom without it. When you get the Holy Ghost - the 1st sign is that your tongue will speak out in other languages (including stammering lips and an unknown language). this will happen without you 'practicing' or 'faking' it - it will come upon you and burst up from within you - you will FEEL such a Freedom, a Joy, a lifting of burdens, and will feel Light and Happy - with a certain 'glow' about you. If this hasn't happened - you have NOT been Born Again yet. This Gift is for ALL believers. Don't let anyone lie to you and steal it away. You MUST receive it to be saved.

Much of the 'churchworld' has been deceived by the trickiest trickster there is - and they preach, teach and believe lies mixed with truth's. but that is NOT a solid foundation - and this is why so many people get frustrated and give up on GOD - because when they try to live the teachings, do what is taught them to be right, and it Doesn't work - they lose faith. You MUST have a SOLID FOUNDATION in order for your faith to stand the tests and trials of life and to be saved in the end. Common Sense shoots down 1/2 the 'doctrines' of many churches and the HOLY SCRIPTURES absolutely tear apart the 'doctrines' of many churches. Yet people go on believing for many different reasons and simply overlook the Contradictions in the WORD by saying 'its a mystery' and we will understand later. I am here to tell you that GOD's WORD CAN BE UNDERSTOOD NOW. and the 'mystery' spoken of is referring to the fact that GOD's Truth is hidden in plain sight - and the majority of the world (including churches and denominations) are deceived.

it will start you on the Trail of Truth.

Remember Jesus himself warned that there would be many many believers who choose to go 'into destruction' because the followed the teachings of 'wolves in sheep's clothing' those that claim to be called of GOD, but Jesus doesn't know them. (read Matthew 7 verse 13 - end of chapter)

Don't let someone steal away your salvation, because you simply didn't bother to check it out and read it for yourself

With Love in Christ

John 14:8-9 "Philip said unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us.
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

v.4,13,24: Who were the 2 men in shiny garments?Where did they go? v.17 Is this an act we currently perform? 4 days after crucifixion Lord Jesus returned to Heaven? Signifigance? v.18: w Was Cleopas the first to speak with Jesus after he rose?

I must be wary of my excuses.WHAT do you think of the expression,"no harm ,no foul"?i think that just because i didnt get caught doesnt mean i didnt get caught......JESUS is omniscient (all knowing).JESUS LOVES us.

@ Lucy,

Well I'm not sure exaclty what and where YOU were reading, but God has indeed left his throne at LEAST once. I seem to remember him showing someone his hinder parts , "For no man can look at my face an yet live..." or something to that degree...Moses ring a bell?

Also to these two comments at the top......God is omniscient, I am not. However I do know exactly the temperments of man, he is hubris, arrogant, and prideful, and has, even since his conception a tendecny to ignore and disdain any regulations, laws or discipline. Think to yourselves then, what would man have done or thought if they were to succeed in this building endevor? Hmm?? All things are possible with God's help, with them creating this, not relying on God, they would have forsaken him completly.

This Psalm ask the question who can understand his errors? Well the bible tells us to commune with our heart upon our bed. It is not a sin to be tempted, but it is if you yield to the temptation. We should pray to keep thy servant from secret sins, for secret sin on earth is wide open scandal in heaven. As the Psalmist says let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight O Lord my strength,and my redeemer, this should be our prayer everyday. May the Lord so direct our path by his word, and light up our pathway.

an evangelist from KENYA named LUIS MENSA turned me on to this idea of reading a chapter of proverbs a day according to todays date .31 chapters 31 days coincidence ....over the years of reading this chapter ,today the word "value" comes to mind .where is my value system at?JESUS LOVES YOU!
