Why do the courts justify a man leaves his living wife and marry another Being married to a second wife while the first wife still lives Why dont the courts honor what God's law says vs what man's law

Believers do not become Sons of God until they are born again of the Spirit in the new testament.

John 1:12 But as many as received (Jesus) him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

1 John 3:2 Beloved, NOW now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

answer to the Sons of God in Genesis 6 is in Job chapter 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest or who hath stretched the line upon it 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy ...the sons of God shouted for joy These sons of God existed at the creation of the earth and Adam and his children did not exist until 6 days later. When reading Genesis chapters 1 and 2 the creation does not say what day angels were created. So they existed b4 the earth was.

A verse in the bible that help me have a thankful prayer for this morning...Resurrection Sunday

What does the sons of god mean in genises

in what book was elija taken by God.

I noticed that passage in my Bible reading and remembered several people who had inquired about hair styles. I was passing it along. I think the state of our souls tops hairstyles any day. Have a great evening.

Someone asked Jesus what was the most important commandment.
Matthew 22:36 - Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Mat 22:37 - Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38 - This is the first and great commandment.

Mat 22:39 - And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 22:40 - On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets.
Honoring the feasts is not a bad idea. Tabernacles in the kingdom will be kept per Zechariah 14:18
Jesus never said believe on me and keep the law and thou shalt be saved.

Secondly, the length of hair is not the 'long hair' we are familiar with, but when he adorns himself as a woman (of those days) did (v14). But if man (read: anyone reading Paul's passage on this issue) is contentious about what Paul has said, Paul writes that he has no other option to give nor from God's Church. (v 16). There may have been some who were under a Nazarite vow which included the non-cutting of the hair ( Numbers 6). But whether Paul was referring to any of those in the Church, or if they, after completion of their vow, failed to also trim their hair, is not certain. But what is clear from 1 Cor 11, is that there is an order in the Church - we choose to obey it or not.

Re: Mishael on 1 Cor 11:3 >. This is 'dangerous' ground where even angels (& some preachers) fear to tread, but it is Scripture & should be examined. Poor apostle Paul has taken a beating over the years by many women over this passage, as it not only speaks of hair length, but of covering the head & the position of man and woman in creation & in God's Sight. Firstly, head covering when praying or prophesying, is not a cultural matter, but a spiritual & positional one before God & the angels (vv 3-11). We have now made it cultural, thereby largely doing away with it in our meetings.

I haven't a clue. Maybe it's because Paul had Gentiles, Greeks and Jews in his meetings. They argued about circumcision too. It must have been hard to turn their minds from law to grace.

I completely agree that the Holy Spirit gives us the power to do whatever God asks us to do. I was merely commenting on the word as translated.

In verse 16, Paul says that if you would like to argue about hair length, it is up to you as this has nothing to do with God's people. We judge by the heart, not outward appearance. I cannot imagine Jesus complaining about how long or short someone's hair is.

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
(10:23) ...but all things edify not.

Now in chapter 11 quite a lot is said about women's hair and men's. Is it good or bad?

My pastor always says if I give you a verse, you take the chapter, when we read Philippians 4 especially verse 13 we also need to read verse 11 & 12. Paul speaks about having it all and living well and of having nothing and suffering yet knowing he can do all things, he can survive and continue to spread the word of Jesus no matter what the circumstances in his life because Jesus gives him the strength to do His (Jesus') work. Because Jesus is leading him and keeping him on the path through all obstacles.

Everyone says that we can do all things. But not everything is profitable for us to do. Whenever I read this verse, I always get the sense that I can do anything that is profitable for me. Jesus will give me the strength to do those things that strengthen me. Whether strengthening of my spirit, body or soul. The word used is which, not who.

Amen. God is all powerful, all loving. People get weird ideas in their head about expecting God to do this or that otherwise... but God isn't a genie in a lamp. People make up random expectations of what they think he should be like or do or not do and it's mostly logical fallacies. God loved us enough to give us life, air in our lungs, a place to life, family, friends, and we will be tested and have trials while here, which tests our character. That is guaranteed. People seem to expect everything to go perfect in their life for some unknown reason, but there's nowhere in the Bible saying we're guaranteed a flawless life, the opposite in fact. We can have joy regardless. Philippians 4:10-13

we cave into mortal ideas and then we open a door for the devil to come in, we are now seeing the evil at work but the good thing is we have a Father who loves us, and if we would humble ourselves with humility, and give thanks to Him for he works all things for the good, repent of our sins, He will hear us and answer our prayers, kneel down and pray, and if He is your Lord God Almighty, He will never leave you nor forsake you, trust in Him, He fights our battles, this is a wake up call. Our God is more powerful then he who is in the world, no evil can remove Him who dwells in us, He walks with us. Fear not for He overcame the world and so shall we. He gave us His peace, believe have faith

This story has been circulating for decades and I heard it is false- that it was invented by rich people so they feel better about being wealthy and entering heaven. Only God is the judge. It clearly says loving money is the sin- probably the sin of idolatry.

Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, Luke 18:25 are the scriptures about the eye of a needle. In ancient times the big doors of a city was locked at night. People parked their camels outside and entered the city through a small door; known as the eye of a needle
Jesus was saying it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. I guess love of money is a problem.

Matthew 19:24 And again I (Jesus) say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Mark 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Mark 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

You can find the "Eye Of A Needle" scripture in these books: Matthew 19:24, Mark 10-25 and Luke 18:25.
Read down to them because the incident begins before Jesus says the verse.

does the bible say, it will be as hard for a rich man to get to heaven as it is for a camel to get through the eye of a needle

When Jesus died and rose again didn't he provide in the new covenant that we are no longer going to be punished for the sins of the father like in the old testament. Please explain

At the top of this website is a box you can use to find all scriptures in the Bible about the Holy Spirit; why Jesus wanted us to be sealed with the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of Jesus, on earth, helping us read the Bible, revealing Jesus to us,
Teaching, Comforting, convicting us about sinful attitudes, and so much more. Do that search and find what so many of us are looking for>>>more Light.
After I was saved I didn't know zip about the Holy Spirit; but He was in me helping a baby Christian walk forward with my Lord and Savior. If you're not sure the Holy Spirit is with you, receive Jesus and ask to be baptized into the Holy Spirit. He is gentle and always reveals Jesus. Trust Jesus

Hi guys, David. The first thing we must ALL understand that WE(mortals) are not responsible for Sin. That is because of Lucifer(when in heaven became selfish with Pride), once he was cast out of heaven to this earth...now called Satan,Devil, Accuser of the brethren. God blames Satan for sin, he is the father of it John 8:44.Since sin is the transgression of God's Law(That existed in heaven before man was created. As a result God implemented his plan of salvation that Jesus Christ would come and die for our sins. That being said, we should not fear. If we confess our sins and repent(shy away from them)we are forgiven by the Grace of Jesus. God is a God of love and forgiveness. Trust/Obey.

We'll end this here since you're repeating the same questions that people generously offered help for. God allows things to run their course you blame God for you not getting everything your way and receiving a certain VIP level of comfort. Even if it's random or an human accident or evil human intention it sounds like you blame God either way, but don't give him any thanks either for giving you life and all the great joys this temporary life has to offer.

There is so much good I the world. Christians say God responsible for that. But not for the bad? Then who created the Tsunami? And Plague? Why do you praise God for the good things and let him off the hook for the bad things?

Hi T-Bone,

The Tsunami Covid19 are pretty big... not really micromanagement.

I feel very privileged to be on this planet and am grateful for everything I have and for the people around me. I want friends who are generous with each other because that is the right thing to do, and because they feel good doing that. Not because they are afraid or are trying to get something in return.

Why are Christians continually afraid and feel they deserve to be continually punished?

Most people will do the right thing if they have enough choice to do so. Only a few will only do the right thing out of fear. Do you feel you have to behave properly, out of fear, and in order to get something?
