Discuss Genesis 18 Page 4

Ron,'what will it take for him to heal me." God wounds us and heals us for many different reasons. There is no set formula, He heals the wicked as well as the righteous, as it pleases him. Psalms;"I know that it is good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn your statutes."Read chapter 2 Cor. 12, V.7 Paul asked him 3 times to remove the pain (thorn) in his side. Job 13:15 , Job 23:12-16.

Ron: Without His Spirit Living within,You can Read The Bible a 1000-x. Not much will happen. Only when You ask Forgiveness: 1John 1:9-2:2. You will be Washed by His Blood: Revelation 1:5. You will be Baptized with The Holy Ghost:Mark1:8. You will be Changed: 2Corinthians 5:17 You will Know!/ This happens when You are Called,a Tug in Your Heart: John 6:44. His Word will Open to You a New Life!

Ron; Sorry to hear about your crippling accident. The LORD has a purpose for all things and will work them out for good. WE can only pray and wait on the LORD to do what HE has on HIS mind. Like I said sorry to hear about your accident but I will be praying with you in your time of need.

I was in a bad accident tat left me wit foot drop syndrome in both legs.I used to be very active now all i do is just set and rot because I can't walk.I have read the bible once and now I am reading it again,what will it take for God to heel me I pray to him and talk to him what will it take for him to heel me.

Hello Saints!

In Genesis 18-1, it is truly amazing how our father Abraham, recognize, Yahweh, and the two Cherubs instantly. I wonder how many time have Lord Jesus, approach us in homelessness, or any other basic human need and we did not recognized, or help!

Marty, I hope that you will never lose a desire to read God's word. I pray you would have a burning desire to know Christ and the power of His resurrection. God can only work in hearts that are open and willing to be moldable in His hands. The more i read God's word and memorize it and meditate upon it the more I learn about how mighty and powerful God really is.

Abraham was being hospitable in the opening verses. This is a good quality to have.

Its interesting how i have read this verse several times, but just came to this epiphany; It is not God's will for the righteous to perish with the wicked. That's injustice in God's sight. Supplementary prayer is key. I bless God for such a revelation.

PARADOX ! Verse 14 ! IS THERE ANYTHING TO HARD FOR THE LORD ! LUKE 1;37-18:27/ MATT 17:20/MARK10:27/HEBREWS11:16 ! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE LORD OUR GOD ALMIGHTY YAHWEH IN AND THROUGH HIS ONLY SON WHO LIVES AND ABIDES FOREVER IN GLORY AT HIS RIGHT HAND THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS CHRIST YESHUA JESUS GLORY AMEN AND AMEN ! ELIJAH IS NEIGH OH ZION ! COME LORD YESHUA ! SHALOM !

Marty, If you are trying to find God I suggest you first start in prayer. Second get into a good church where the elders can help lead you. When I first read the Bible I read the new testament first then the old testament. Jesus Christ is who your looking for. I'd suggest you first read about him then come back and read what lead up to our Savior. May God bless you with wisdom and understanding and may you except your gift of life eternal. I love you and Jesus does to.

Marty: Something that you may be missing is the grace of God. The men of the bible were most certainly not perfect. They were sinners, tempted just as you and I are. However, through studying their lives, we can make corrections to our own. There is nothing new under the sun and their problems are often our own problems. Through the bible you can find salvation through grace ( Eph. 2:8-10)

Marty, God gives understanding.
When you reject God's word, you reject him.

We must have faith in our father we must also preach the word of God to others but before we do that we must first be true to God and be part of his word and try to help others to turn their life to God we must try to save our brothers and sisters and God has us here for a reason open up your hearts and find that reason.I also am not perfect but am praying to the father to help me be part of him

Have read the first 18 chapters of Genesis, and it genuinely seems to be an account of some wandering desert tribe. What's the Freudian thing about Noah's nakedness? A man sees another man naked! So what? Sorry this is so negative, but I don't even begin to see how this could make me a better person. And Abram having a child with his wife's handmaid? It sounds like a sordid soap opera sub-plot.

I pray this example will be used when people blame God for the countless death of many of this world. From children to elderly. God proved not to destroy the righteous with the wicked.As Abraham interceded so faithfully.

Abrham's intercession was amazing,desiring for the city to be spared if even there were ten righteous.

That as righteous as God is, that he will provide away to escape his judgement, if we will repent and turn to Him. Just as Abraham's plea for the righteous to be saved,even greater Was Christ's willingness to go to the cross for the sinner.

God is gracious and merciful! I pray he will save many in the churches from error.

It 's seems God worth each and everyone in his presence that 's he said if I got ten I will not destroy may his name b praised.

and really especially Americans should hold God well because the devil is really aiming for their downfall because the accuser will not stop

I need to read my bible more,but I realize now that I AM a sinner and need all the prayers I can to ask GOD 'S forgiveness for my sins, I am fighting the gay life style, I know better but am tempted, and need help with my fight. Please pray for me.

GENESIS 18:23-32 COMMENTS 5 04 215 11:35 PM Abraham pleads for the men of Sodom. v23Ps.11:4-7 v24Matt.7:13-14 v25Isa.3:10-11 Rom.3:5-6 v26Matt .24:22 v27Luke18:1 Ps.8:4 v29 1Thess.5:17 v30Isa .55:8-9 v31Heb.4:16 v32Judg.6:39 1John3:22 Jas.5: 16 Lord, in your righteousness we live, A-men.

John, I believe the Scripture totally answer that for you so you don 't need to wonder. Gen. 18:23-33 tells us the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Lev. 18:22 says, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind it 's an abomination. Rom. 1:26-27 says, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use of their bodies into that which is against nature. Verse 27 go on to tell us the men left the natural use of the women first homosexuality and brought on the nation God 's just destruction. Don 't get me wrong all sin is sin and all of us have sinned, but this particular sin is what the Scripture is speaking of. We as a people are not only watching other but are condoning that sin of others in the name of beings free minded and modern. Just the Supreme court is taking up the marriage equality issue in a so call Christian nation the US. Many States have as you know have already past laws legalizing what God has already declared to be an abomination these marriages. Therefore, it doesn 't appear that the majority of people in this are ready to do what 2 Chron.7:14 which says, if my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from Heaven, will forgive their sin, and heal their land. God bless us all and in the understanding of His Word. All praise and glory be to our God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

Eloy, the Scripture only speak of one pregnancy by the Holy Ghost and that is Mary the mother of Jesus Christ. Everyone else or every other humanbeing was born of a man and woman. Even children born of surrogate mothers including Mary the mother of Jesus Christ herself. There is no Scripture in the holy bible that even suggest otherwise. Isa. Says, "Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel which mean God with us . Lu. 1:31-35 the angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and announced the birth of Jesus Christ by her through the power of God by the Holy Ghost. God bless us all and in the understanding of His Word. Glory be to God in the highest. Amen.

Did Sarah conceive by Holy Spirit?

God is God He remains the regardless of the circumstance we find ourselve amen

Abraham had a heart for the people of Sodom and the Lord would have spared the city if there was even ten Godly men but I think the Lord new that there was not anyone serving him, even Lot who He blessed.Lot was saved because of Abraham 's faith. I wonder if the Lord will save this land?

God is the only creator of all the universe which he put every authority to Jesus as his Son of the Living God. God is so merciful and loving Father. He knows what to provide on any situations. There are no other Jehovah its only Jesus. God owns everything that we can see and keep his children for those who love Jesus and accept his commandments. Therefore only Jesus can rapture and save us and God can only destroy all the works of the defeated devil and take his church back during rapture. God has appointed time to destroy even the earth once all God 's own people will be rapture in mid air. Jesus loves us and keep your faith on him

It sums up the essence of a father
