Alex comments about the deity of Christ, How can we know that Christ is truly God ?, Only 1 way we can know for sure its by his WORDS which are his Seeds. The Father said to go forth and multiply but everything has to multiply after its KIND. This go forth and multiply is directed also to Christ thats y the sower of the good seed will go forth an sow his precious seed in humanity, th field being the world,our hearts is the good ground, The fruit is the H.G. Which is God, th wheat is God simply b/c the good seed is the living WORD which is the very Seed of God to whom the word came it made them Gods thus he is able to propagate after the God KIND which proves he is truly God the son, There is no way to refute this to whom the word came it made them Gods. When he breath on them his breath was his WORD which is his Seed and they received the H.G. which is God. Jesus cd not reproduce very GOD IF HE WERE NOT GOD Simply b/c everything has to multiply after its KIND.Thats y Jesus said that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit as GOD IS Spirit.ya gotta realize that the wheat is God simply b/c that good seed is the God seed to whom the WORD came that good seed it made them Gods this cannot be refuted as these are the very words of our lord. He that soweth the good seed is the Son of MAN,Christ Jesus. When he breathe on them he was sowing seed propagating very God as his breath was his seed/WORD . They don't call him the bridegroom for nothin he has a Seed to sow in humanity . Only God and Christ cd reproduce very God in us sinners. We be the FIELD TH WORLD TH bride. Thats y the good seed is the Pearl of great price, Its the very seed of God. Thats when he said b/c i have spoken these words ( seeds ) sorrows have filled your hearts when a woman is in travail she has sorrows b/c her hour is come but after the CHILD comes which is the H.G her sorrows are turned into joy.then he said he wd see us again simply b/c the CHILD IS THE H.G another CHRIST, God
Hello. If you truly care about him. Along with him saying he would listen to you about God. What I would say or start with is: "Why does he worship satan and where did he learn about him from"? As this could have come to him in many ways like music, family, trend, etc. Then just try to tell him the truth that satan does not care about him or anyone but himself. The devil knows he is already damned and just wants to destroy as many lives as he can. Here are a couple Bible verses I looked up showing that satan is the enemy and is already damned.
Matthew 4:1-10 , Jesus being tempted by him in the desert.
John 16:11 , the devil(prince of this world) has already been judged
Revelation 12:7-9 , satan being cast down to earth
Revelation 20:1-15 , satan cast into the lake of fire
Jude 1:6-9 , fallen angels and Michael Archangel contending with devil
John 8:44 , devil is the father of lies
Galatians 5:19-21 , lusts of the flesh(what the devil wants people to do)
Along with the others who responded to you. All else I can really say is be careful. Pray to our Father and Jesus Christ to lead you. Maybe try to read through the Bible with him. Show him that Jesus Christ is the only way. He may turn from satan or you may have to leave him. You will be in my prayers. God Bless.
thank u so much and he really did say that kinda stuff im kinda under 18 so i dont prepare to do any thing with marriage or the big s word haha but yea thank you im so glad i have some fellow believers to help me thank u God bless you
Some people react badly to rejection and others just walk away, on to the next woman.
Just tell him the truth. You are saving yourself for marriage. Saying the M word usually results in him moving on.
Don't grieve. Just thank God you are free and will not be tempted to think satan is a dude in a red costume. People who say stuff like he has already, has been seduced by evil.
Go on youtube and watch some spiritual warfare teachings.
Sex outside of marriage creates soul ties inside of our hearts. It causes a lot of sorrow later. Read 1 Corinthians chapter 7. Wait for Gods best.
Thank you so much, so tell my testmony send verses and stuff because a lot of pple say i have powerful testimony it may help but dont get to close to him ig and if we do talk, talk about God is what ur saying? because im down to do it anything to get him to God. and pls pray for him hes name is Devin Matthew Doher
so i thank u 4 adivce and u know wat imma take it how do i push him away tho? like im srry i dont really know ive never done that before im the clingy kind ik it isnt bible related but yea
People who say what he has; are already hosts to the demonic.
I've had plenty of that kind of unpredictable activity. It's worse than the worst scary devil movie you've Ever seen.
Please trust me that this is one you need to walk away from.
You can give his name to some prayer warriors at your church. Yes, they'll need to know his beliefs.
I know you're excited at this age, but life is long. You can pray NOW for your future husband. Pray you both will keep yourselves pure until marriage. That you both will love the Lord.
Then wait till God brings you both together. Read of the Psalms 31 Christian woman. That's what men really want. A gal with a good heart and a good mind.
You're going to have a wonderful life! Just wait for God to bring it to you. Research the definition of: chastity. It's the most valuable quality you possess.
Your friend needs to hear that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, then rose from the dead to save us from an eternity in Hell and give us eternal life. He needs to hear the word of God to plant and nurture faith, verses such as Romans 6:23 and Romans 10:9-11 among others. Also your personal walk and testimony must show that you are sincere and that God has transformed you by his love. It is only right that you be extremely careful about his possible influence on you.
It's wrong. The main issue is usually that people have committed the sin of fornication outside of marriage, got pregnant, and now no longer want that responsibility. Sadly, some prefer to commit another sin much worse- to kill the baby to destroy the evidence and then make a lot of irrational justifications for it. But there's an obvious solution that still allows them to get out of parental responsibility but doesn't involve committing murder which is to allow a loving family to adopt, love, and raise the baby. Sadly, people are deceived into forgetting this obvious solution that doesn't violate God's commands or the baby's right to life. Psalm 100:3. Why groups, leaders, don't emphasize this obvious "choice" is something I'll never understand.
We're accountable for our actions, but anyone who commits these sins can still be forgiven if they genuinely repent, believe, and turn to follow Jesus.
Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5, Psalms 127:3, Exodus 20:13, Genesis 9:6. These verses show that God created us and everyone has great value including the unborn, as the verses indicate. I think Satan is behind a lot of lies in the world today including blinding a whole population to vote for mass murder of babies. I think it's absolutely sick and pure evil. God created life and is pro-life. How can anyone honestly say God wants us to destroy the life that He so beautifully created.
Comments by Alex about Warfare which is in the Spritual Realm IN OUR MINDS ETC.All the scriptures about warfare can be summed up with 1 lil scripture in Rev.12 She brought forth a manchild that is gonna rule all nations. Her child is the H.G. THAT IS GONA RULE and Judge all nations meaning everybody.its just as Joel said he is gona pour out his Spirit on all flesh which is the H.G the manchild meaning mankinds fruit unto God which is the H.G. I will give them a new heart and a new SPIRIT TH H.G. Jesus said when he the spirit of truth is come ( the h.g. th manchild, mans fruit unto God via that good seed etc ) He wil reprove the world of sin and judgement and righteouness. Jesus died at Golgatha the place of a skull meaning in our minds is where our warfare is gonna take place thats y we need the mind of CHRIST. Let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus The great war is gona be fought in our minds like the Kingdom of God is gona be with n us. Megiddo n armageddon is near Jerusalem, thus that new Jerusalem is the kingdom of God where that warfare will take place in our Minds etc let this mind be in you that was in Christ JESUS.Thus megiddo n armageddon is in the spritual realm near new Jerusalem in our minds as the Prophet said let Jerusalem come into your minds,the very Kingdom of GOD is gona be in our minds in the spritual realm in our hearts etc. Just remember 1 thing the manchild which is the H.G. is gonna rule and judge ALL NATIONS that summes up all scriptures on warfare.I will give them a new heart and a new spirit which is the H.G.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And KNEW HER NOT till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
COMMENT: Joseph and Mary did not have marital relations until after his birth. Women are counseled even this day to wait 4-6 weeks to resume relations.
In the Book of Luke you will see that the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary. I wrote on this the other day. The Holy Spirit: is Spirit. God is spirit. Jesus is the Word of God. Mary was not touched by anything physical.
Hey Roxanne;Jesus Father is God ,not Joseph.Joseph and all the rest of us have sinful blood flowing through our veins.It took pure blood shed by Christ to pay that ransom to redeem us back to God.He only had His Father,s blood in Him.Pure and sinless.
Jesus is God's only begotten son. (see John chapter 1)
The first chapters of Matthew and Luke give us the details of Jesus being born to Mary, a virgin. Joseph was engaged to Mary and took her as his wife, but they had no relations until after Jesus was born.
1 Peter 3:22 - Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Acts 5:31 - Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Acts 2:33 - Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
Hebrews 1:13 - But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Luke 22:69 - Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
Hebrews 10:12 - But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
1 Timothy 2:1-15 - I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; (Read More...)
I feel you're correct in your understanding of the Cross. The Acts 5:30 use of 'tree' would most likely be alluding to the Cross as shaped from the 'wood' of the trees. Of course, the shape of Jesus' Cross cannot be known as it's not revealed to us, but given the many forms of 'Cross executions' by the Romans, the Crux Commissa (or, the T shape) was the likely one which typified the way our Lord was crucified & allowed for the placement of the sign above his Head.
I was raised Catholic and always believed it was a cross that Jesus was hung on! It makes more sense because on his walk to the place where he died he had to bear the weight of the cross, he wasnt bearing a tree!!! The saying " it is my cross to bear" says alot !!!!!!!! and besides every movie Ive ever saw concerning his life and death always made reference and showed a Cross not a tree!!!!!!!!
I hear you all talking about somethings that we may never see or hear! John the baptist may have never saw the ax that took his head off!U may not see the heart attack that will take you, or even the stroke. We must depend on the mercies of God. Wisdom comes from believing in His word and only His word. The book of revelation is a book of prophecy that applies to all generations. Our mission is to teach and witness his word that others may come to the truth. That Christ kingdom will grow and become strong in the things that pertain too heaven and earth, even the universe. Your witness will Draw all nations unto him!Remember that you are a chosen generation a royal priesthood! It will take more than a mask to disguise his word!
"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." Mt 5:11,12.
"And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name." Acts 5:41.
There are many today suffering or being persecuted around the world for their beliefs. Christians in those parts have learned how to live under such repressive systems & take it patiently; actually there's not much else that they can do. In the West, we barely get a sense of this now as generally Judeo-Christian principles are well established, though even these are constantly eroded, as we see it affecting education, discipline, removal of Christian values & teaching in favour of atheistic/humanistic based teachings. We easily & quickly complain that 'our faith is being attacked' when society has had to fall in line with recent governmental restrictions. I wonder how these same folk will handle some real 'attacks to their faith' as Satan goes into higher gear with his thrusts into our already compromised governmental mentality & systems. How will Christians behave & live in an increasingly anti-christian society?
Would our response be as the Lord encouraged his disciples: to rejoice in their sufferings & persecutions - to rejoice & be exceeding glad for their heavenly reward would be great? Or will we complain with more gusto? Maybe to consider some of the other believers' suffering today might help us get a better perspective for today & preparation for tomorrow.
Thank you Mark for that reminder from Neh 4:14: "Be not afraid - remember the Lord".
a. God did give us a perfect immune system, but after the fall, those systems became less than perfect. And this is proven by what mankind suffers throughout their lives, some much worse than others. Good "food & herbs" are important, but our sinful bodies have the final say.
b. that's wonderful that you desire to follow "God's expectations". And I can't show you from Scriptures about mask-wearing or social distancing - maybe Covid-19 & other viruses were not evident then or the Bible book writers didn't include that aspect. However, the Bible does tell me in Rom 13:1-7 that I need to obey/be subject to the government, for if I disobey, then I show contempt to what God has ordained for us. Yet, there may be times now & certainly later, when the governments will require Christians to do what is contrary to our faith & God's requirements. Peter in Acts 5:29 spoke well to the Jewish leaders when the apostles disobeyed the law & began to preach Jesus: "We ought to obey God rather than men". So, there is a clear occasion when we must disobey - disobeying now because of this virus' presence & impact, is not the occasion.
c. wearing masks may not be "good for our respiratory systems" but if they help to stop the spread of the virus & needless death, then I would think that it would be useful. For example, you're in a packed train going to work & someone next to you is sneezing & coughing profusely: how do you react? By all accounts, you would do nothing & trust God to protect you. That's great faith. But if your faith was a little diminished & you too suffered the same illness for a week or so, at least you expect to finally recover. With Covid, there is still hope for recovery for most, but for many, death looms (as published figures show). You may be ready to face your Maker, but the other person may not be in that joyful position. I wouldn't like to be in that position of sending one to his life's end, whether or not he was prepared for it.
