Perhaps that is why people look for a heavenly kingdom: Jay. Jesus said that his kingdom is not of this world. “Jesus said, 'My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But, as it is, my...

I don't know what you are saying @Jay Ross, you just came up and shared randomly, for whatever reason you wanted to, friend. Me and you tend to see things differently anyway, remember? Therefore if you feel like sharing and teaching, you can always be welcomed to make your own threads. I...

That is good @Hobie. I highly recommend anyone to read and study the bible if they so are desirous of truth. Of course, not everyone is willingly to do those things, as a friend said "it's a daunting task." There are seven books I own for help in study. Holman Study Bible: NKJV Edition...

Good @Hobie, There are also other expressions from Paul, about becoming adopted into the Kingdom, and John wrote also those who believed on the Son where given the ability to become children of God, and mature and become by the spirit sons or daughters of God. Awesome stuff my friend! Praise...

Thank you for sharing, @Jay Ross. I remember when Joshua, gave out land to all the descendants of Abraham. I believe that promise came through Jacob? There are many times where God promised something and people did not see what was promised but they had hope for it, living in faith. Seeing...

Okay thanks @Michiah-Imla. Thank you for making ir more clear as to what you are opposed against being “theology books” it would be better to stick to the source material and that I do absolutely agree with. My study bible has many different opinions from some people and i may not fully agree on...

Never let the spirit unbelief creep in. All it takes is a thought to forumalte and roll into a snowball and cause a crashing into your house. I may not believe like many people here on this board: but what is known is that one must abide in Christ; one must be honest before God about...

Thank you for sharing, @Ronald Nolette. What is interesting about that letter written to Timothy, pertained mainly to the Old Testament scriptures, I do agree though all the scripture is written and useful for anyone who studies, but even more interesting it is to study oneself approved unto...

You know @Randy Kluth, in some churches they give a lot of flack towards women being in roles of leadership, but I think Israel got so bad no man would stand up and there was a woman named Deborah that stood up to become a leader, I never confirmed this but one day I showed up to a random church...

Reading the book of Judges might come in handy to an extent also when it comes to the historical background of rulers in Israel's day. In the narrative of the Hebrew Bible, it covers the time between the conquest described in the Book of Joshua and the establishment of a kingdom in the Books...

@Michiah-Imla, If your theory is correct, to just read and obey. Wouldn't that cause harm to the user? There are many people out there that believe they need to spread the Gospel to the whole world in order for Jesus Christ to come back, and what they will do is go and preach in order to 'get...

Hobie, While these scriptures are quoted, let's take a minute to look at their introductions, which some we dont know exactly who they are written, but one can guess. Do you believe knowing this information is also worthwhile, to notice, when quoting the scripture you are quoting and relating...

Revelation talks about the devil and his defeat, in case people forget. While there are people out there who really believe that the devil is out there to 'get you', it is impossible for him to do so when there is no more 'Law' to abide under IE: the Commandments which was nailed the to cross...

There is a reason why the Spirit is so needed in the world that we live in. The Spirit and the World are vastly different from each other. Our Flesh hates even reading the bible, but the spirit is willing and is in need of it every day to be reminded to abide in Christ and think and wonder on...

He even went in shortly after his statements in Chapter 2, to Chapter 3. 1 Corinthians 3 New International Version The Church and Its Leaders 3 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave...

Now you are getting into goading territory. I simply disagree with you, and with that I will leave it up to you what you may respond with next. As I trust fully in that Jesus Christ has had victory over the devil. You are more than welcome to disagree with that, but to goad, or to harass, you...

There is not a just man on earth who doesn't sin. Ecclesiastes 7:20 King James Version (KJV)For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. Falling short in some category or another. James says it's sin with-in us, that comes about and Paul makes that clear also...

Oh yeah, God knows what I do when I am by myself. Just the other day, we kind of had a struggle with the ol Porn. You know I dont ever want to have a wife, nor do I want to have children. ( I just do not seek for it anymore because after about 7-8 years now of being alone, I have become...

That is debatable. It depends on how you take the context. If you are someone who believes in the 'sola scriptura' doctrine, then you will end up having a problem with me. And here are the reasons why, Quoting Thessalonians, is a letter written to them. While there may be spiritual benefits...

Testing of Faith. Abraham knew God would provide a way, and he continued to do and obey as the LORD said, only to be stopped in the nick of time. What a good God we do serve.
