As Christians, living a holy (Hebrews 12:14) and separated life (2 Corinthians 6:17) is commanded by Christ and the Word. In saying that, holiness is one of the most debated things among Christians today. What the Word deems as holy and gives us scriptural references for, many today render legalistic or bondage. Holiness is needed in this hour we live in. I believe that holiness starts inward for a new Christian, and once said individual is obedient to convictions and the Bible, that inner holiness will have no choice but to reflect in outward chances. These outer changes will bring a Christian closer to Biblical modesty and holiness, coupled with personal convictions that won't deviate from the Word of God. It's not legalism. It's holiness. What say you?

I would wish for all of you guys here to be healed, helped, saved, and all there family members.

Hi Jacqueline, I think you are listening to those `demons` you talked about on another thread. It`s not about where you should `go` but `who` you are listening to.

mmmm....look where Solomon ended. Remember Jesus said, `...and indeed a greater one than Solomon is here.` (Matt. 12: 42) Thus I desire to be like Christ. And marvellously that is what He is doing in me!

Hi JacquelineDeane, I believe what you are saying and I think you are being very honest. Now you don`t need to go to someone to get delivered. You can work through this yourself. 1. First you need to CONFESS what you have been involved in, (by an act of your will) and allowed these `demons` to have access to your mind. Were you involved with occult things, or looking at wrong pictures, etc, etc. Think what you have done and confess that to the Lord. 2. Then you need to REPENT to the Lord of such behaviour and say you want to turn around and not do that anymore. 3. Ask the Lord for His FORGIVENESS, that by His precious blood shed for us, it covers our sin. 4. Receive His FORGIVENESS and work with the Holy spirit to renew your mind. `FEED` ON GOD`S WORD, (TRUTH) and over time you will become stronger in your spirit. As the demons try to harass you further tell them you are `under the blood of Jesus` and they have to depart. Keep that up if they still try but overtime they will see that you are serious. Also it seems that there are many demons affecting part of your mind. Thus you may have to go through the process a few times. Demons like to go around in `gangs,` to torment people. Note: it is by our will we let these demons affect part of our minds, thus by an act of our will turning to the Lord they have to go. The Lord is the greater one and demons are subject to Him. praying, Marilyn.

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:6-9).

As believers we need to be living a life by God's standards, not the world's. Holiness results from having the right relationship with God.

Jonestown remembered Sorry. This has nothing of relativity to the Jonestown massacre/mass suicide disaster.

Don’t try and be Catholic. Be a member of the Body of Christ. Of course don’t be a “hateful bigot”. Be a Holy Spirit filled member of the Body of Christ! ❤️?

If God gave you one wish like solomon.What would you wish for?I would wish for what solomon wished for.

This evening my Grandma came into my room and her hip was in pain. I prayed to God to first forgive me of all sins and cleanse me of all unrighteousness - a requirement for all answered prayer. After, I prayed to God for him to remove the pain in Grandma's hip, both in his own time (important, since this represents patience) and in Jesus name. When leaving to go back to her room, Grandma noticed no pain in her hip. All because of my prayer. It should be noticed that such a request can only be allowed when sin is dealt with. Luckily, I am so proud for God to remove the pain from Grandma's hip - with my prayer.

First off, you misunderstand "what" Jesus was, ...the "ultimate" sacrifice to God, ...all of the OT sacrifices point us to, and make reference to, ...Jesus, ...the Lamb of God. Second, Jesus "is" God john 1:1, ...He didn't have any "debt" to pay to God because God is sinless. Third, all men have sinned and the "fundamental" teachings of the "sacrifices" are, ...man was offering a sacrifice only to "cover" his sin (rather than die immediately), ...not "pay" for it, ...by the shedding of blood is the remission of sin Lev 17:11, and there is not one man born of Adam who's blood is sufficient to pay for his own sins, ...let alone the sins of the whole world, ...why, because mankind's blood is tainted with sin, ...imagine trying to atone for my sins with sin tainted blood, ...it's the same as trying to buy a car with counterfeit money! However, Jesus took on the form of a man John 1:14, ...He was the sinless God-Man, ...the Second Adam who accomplished ALL of the Law which permitted Him to be the Sacrifice for ALL of humanity. Like the Holy Spirit tells us: And He (Jesus) is "the" propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2 And whole in the Greek means, ...ALL... God said it and I believe it! Lord bless

I do not understand the death of Jesus to be a "payment" to God, to pay for all sins committed by all humans for all time, a payment that required the Father to then forgive all sins, or even all sins of those who believe. I don't understand Christ's death in that way. Rather, my understanding is that Christ lived and died in perfect obedience and faithfulness to covenant, to recover the dominion of earth (which Adam had lost through disobedience). He endured the horrible physical torture of crucifixion, while also enduring separation from His Father, all without questioning or rebelling against the will of God His Father. This perfect obedience legally entitles The Son of Man to the dominion of earth (Daniel 7:14). Human beings live within this dominion. Thus Christ will judge. He will decide who will live within His dominion forever.

Are you opining that 1967 was Psalm 83?

When they say "dead man walking" - they know that man is not already dead. He will be dead. The process has begun, - the last "walk" - which will end in his death. I believe that is what is meant, when Revelation says "the Lamb" was "slain from the foundation of the world" Rev 13:8. At the foundation of the world, the process had begun, which would lead to His death. At "the foundation of the world" God "knew" it was going to happen. He knew it, but He created beings with "free will" in spite of knowing they would rebel against Him. He knew they would need to be "reconciled". He knew the only way to reconcile them back to Himself, would be the death of His Son.

I do not dis-believe the idea that the Nephillim were/are the offspring of demons with human women. Not like I dis-believe some of the ideas presented in this thread. Guess I will just wait to see if super-humans are "released" (?resurrected?) from the "bottomless pit" at the 5th trumpet.

Amen! Joel Richardson has a great video on this; and I've heard him speak on it. Some "covert" missionaries that I know in Iran and Iraq tell me of Muslims coming to them talking of dreams of Jesus and the missionaries themselves. God will do a wonderful work among Muslims before Jesus returns. Our God is a God of life and love; not death and indifference. He is also God; and it really doesn't matter what I "think"; God is God; and He can do whatever He deems as right. In His mercy, God could could forgive all sins done in ignorance or deception. But I still think even the most ignorant must be given a choice to accept or reject God and the way of life one must follow to enter His Kingdom. You are correct that many people of the past present, and future will make that choice against God and His culture; to their eternal demise. But at least they had an opportunity to choose.

Hi and welcome to Worthy... Those that have never heard the opportunity to hear the Gospel, ...THE largest revival on the planet is currently taking place in Iran at this very moment, ...God is using His prophecy in Joel, ...as Peter announced on Pentecost Acts 2:17, at the beginning of the Church Age: And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Joel 2:28 The Muslim men are seeing Jesus in their dreams and are turning away from Islam and to Jesus, born again children of God, ...there is a video on YouTube, HisChannel, that show a "believers" church service in Farsi with the camera at the back of the room so that those there can not be identified, ...many of those attending are new born "converts" from Iran who come to the States to be able to worship the Lord, be baptized and take Communion with the saints, ...before they go back to Iran. We serve a "BIG" God, ...nothing is impossible for Him to accomplish! Children who die before the age of accountability go directly to be with the Lord, ...I remember the exact moment, just like the exact moment when we are "born again," ...my conscience became "alive," I "knew" what I was doing was "wrong" for the first time in my life, ...but I did it anyway and I became "responsible" for my actions before God. There are many who dispute this, ...I ask them, "If you being evil, would you send a fetus, baby or young child to the Lake of Fire," of course they answer no, ...so then, since God is Good and Love, ...why would He? I believe the Word gives us a hint into the heart of God about "children" in the Book of Jonah: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? Jonah 4:11 When discerning between their right and left hand is used in the Bible it is talking about little children and I also believe those that are handicapped in this way mentally. Freewill, the only time an unregenerated human has "freewill" is at their "crisis" moment when, ...by the Holy Spirit, they have given the choice to "receive" Jesus John 1:12, ...before that "moment" we were all held in bondage to sin Rom 6:17, the only "choice" we had is what particular sin we chose to "delight" ourselves in, ...after we are born again is when we have a "free will", and the most intelligent "choice" we can make is choosing between being a "carnal" child of God or one who is "walking in/with the Holy Spirit, by relinquishing ALL authority in and of our lives to Him and allow him to take His rightful place on the Throne of our hearts. Yes, every one is given a chance to make a choice, it's a "crisis" moment in our lives, ...that "moment" when every born again child of God remembers when the Father said, "Let there be Light, and there was Light!" ...and the Holy Spirit worked in our lives just like Jesus said: And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: John 16:8 and "illuminated" our sinful lifestyle, revealed to us the Righteousness of God and our unrighteousness and the Judgement already pronounced against us, ...we are "going" to Hell! At that "moment" we are given free will to chose our destiny. However, yes, there are those "deceived" in the cults and other ocultic religions that have never heard the Gospel, ...after the world wide "catastrophe" of the Church at the Rapture, ...it's estimated today there are between 1 and 1 1/2 billion born again children of God presently living on the planet, ...add to that ALL of the children below the age of accountability on the planet, from jw, mormon, islam, buddist, and all of the other religion's families, that will disappear, ...they we come to the conclusion their "religion" was false, and God will provide 144,000 Jewish Evangelists Rev 7 preaching the Gospel and and Angel in the sky preaching the Everlasting Gospel Rev 14;6, ...these are the ones who: These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Rev 7:14 Please notice, "they" washed their robes, ...the difference is "we" the Church, the Bride of Christ, "Jesus" washed us in His Blood and then "gave" us white robes to wear, ...those that are "saved" during the Tribulation, those that had "never" heard the Gospel preached in the power of the Holy Spirit Rom 1:16, ...who believed in some kind of a "works" based Salvation, ...they will have their "chance" to work for their Salvation, they will have to stand up for Jesus against the anti-christ and not deny Him, ...at the cost of their heads, ...they will be decapitated for their faith. Those that are living at the time of the Rapture, ..that "have" heard the Gospel preached in the power of the Holy Spirit and rejected it, they will be damned, ...no second chance: Even him (anti-christ), whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 thess 2:9-12 I hope this points you in the right direction to study on your own and remember, ...don't believe anyone Acts 17:11, "only" the Holy Spirit as He teaches you from His Word 1 John 2:27 Lord bless

You really need to read Hebrews again. What you seem to do is confuse profound concepts and ignore others. One should not confuse the Law and God's commandments with Mosaic Law. They are not the same per the conversation about divorce with Jesus in the NT. Where did Paul get the truth of Jesus since the NT had not yet been written? The Torah Where did all the quotes about Jesus and eternal salvation come from in Paul's teachings? The Torah. Jesus is the lamb, "...slain from the foundation of the world." He is salvation and it has always been so. The cross is not found in the OT? I think Isaiah 53 refutes that. Not only that but the suffering, death and burial of Christ is referenced in the past tense. It's not different, just veiled, revealed only by the Spirit. Indeed the first covenant was not adequate. Ever ask why? It's because of this: For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. The fault was not in the covenant, it was in mankind. God then bypassed the ritual and gave the promises to everyone sans the ritual. The promise of God and the destiny of the believer and God's plan have not changed. The only change is God took away the earthly requirement of the Levitical liturgy and all it's demands and gave it to everyone. This is why it's a better covenant, new. Still the same promises, still the same God, still the same Jesus Christ, yesterday, today and forever. Really, read Hebrews again, and again and again. Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant. But that new covenant is not a change from salvation by the Law to salvation by grace. "For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh," - Romans 8 Perhaps you should read through Romans as well. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Abraham was righteous by faith. These are eternal concepts from the beginning. Look here in Genesis; "“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you,b but you must master it.”" From the beginning sacrifice meant nothing and therefore the law had no effect on salvation but instead had an amazing purpose. The law was only given to impute sin. "To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law." The law was never meant to save because that was not it's purpose. What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good. Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful. Before even the Torah was written, during the wandering of the Jews in the desert we find Jesus. For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.” We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. - 1 Cor 10 So even before the promised land was reached the grace of God and the power of salvation in Christ was evident in the desert wanderings; and that before the 10 commandments and the Mosaic law. So what we have is the grace of God from the onset of creation, then the Law to impute sin, that sin might be sin, and then still the grace of God in abundance. What you would have us believe is that God's grace was evident in creation well before Moses, then God suspended grace in favor of the law, then reinstalled grace. Poppycock! It's always been love and grace and it has always been the great and mighty God and His son Jesus Christ, from the foundation of the world. It is you who, continuing in this, is unfortunate.

Still, the presence of the Lord is felt globally, that should not be denied. "The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that crawls upon the ground, and all mankind on the face of the earth will tremble at My presence. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground." That all prophecy is Israel-centric is undeniable. The language here is general, as in it's not specific to a region. I agree that Israel is the focus throughout, but that does not limit the Lord in scope nor effect. Just because there is an absence of evidence of a person, place or thing, does not necessarily negate the person place or thing. Unless the text specifically says so we should not make that judgment. In fact there is enough evidence to ascertain from Eze 38-39 the depicted events are indeed Rev 19, Matt 24, Joel, etc., from the textual evidence found in the previously mentioned. For instance: "Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and commanders and mighty men, of horses and riders, of all men slave and free, small and great.”" Rev 19 "And, you son of man, thus said the Lord GOD; Speak to every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh, and drink blood. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatted calves of Bashan. And you shall eat fat till you be full, and drink blood till you be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. Thus you shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, said the Lord GOD." In my experience similarities lead to the cause. When investigators search for a perp the similarities of the crimes under investigation lead them to a single perp; differences tend to suggest additional evidence or a lack of understanding the whole picture. This is even more pronounced in the Forensic Units across the country. Did you know the early work in the FBI in the area of profiling led to understanding and capture of future serial criminals? The FBI used historical profiling and applied it to current cases, still do, to solve those cases. They knew that compiling a list of similarities of hard evidence, behavior, psychology, background and vital statistics could be used to narrow the search for the criminal. This type of investigative work would lead to a profile: age, ethnicity, location, job, relationship status, financial status, religion, etc., that proved astonishingly accurate and wildly successful; all based on the similarities contained in the evidence, but even more so in the profile of the individual which created the evidence. The similarities simply cannot be shunted aside because existing testimony raises new evidence. In the case of the two passages above we have clear similarity; enough to more than suggest we are looking at the same event. From what I hear you saying we would then require two separate events in a span of 7 years where the bird and beasts devour the dead of a vast company of people from all walks of life. Do you really think that's plausible?

With some of us it changes a little at a time and with others it's just Bam.... there it is...

Our personal relationships with Christ. This is that that marks one a Christian, having and being in relationship with Christ. As Christians we all believe He died on the cross for us and on the third day He arose to never die again. This Person who arose stated that He will come and make His abode with all those that ask. It is this asking, this faith and belief that He of a surety has kept His promise to come and abide in us. It is this intimate fellowship we have with Him in our hearts that is our personal relationship with Him. It is to the growth of this relationship that is the growth of Him in us. It is to this degree, of our fellowship with Him, to that degree can and will He be seen in our life’s. Which is our testimony of Him to this world. This all comes through obedience to the Spirit that He has caused to dwell in us. This obedience to this life that has made itself known in us. For the more we listen to that still small voice in our hearts the more will our relationships with Christ grow and the more will He be seen in our lives.. The more joy and peace will we experience which in turn will cause us to hunger and thirst after Him even more. But I write nothing we don’t already know by experience. So to the enlargement and encouragement of this expression do I write. Be blessed all as we feed our personal relationships with Christ, that He might fulfill every good work and word in us. In the beloved, Not me

Yes it’s all about getting to know this One personally. This inward one and one relationship. This relationship of the heart. Which is all based in truth, honesty, righteousness and goodness. Pursuing these, He will be found by all that seek Him for this is where He waits. For in righteousness does He wait for those willing to do righteousness.... So He might be found. To a increase of Him in our innermost beings, Not me

Praise ye the LORD. Love always, Walter and Debbie

@Walter and Deborah Yes, at times you need to be like the Psalmist and speak to your soul: bless the lord all my soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Our personal relationship with Christ. Well, this is what makes Christianity so UNIQUE. It's all about knowing the One who has so ravished your heart that you will live radically for him. The other religions don't have what we have. We have a God who so loved us that he gave himself for us. He came he died and he rose again. His blood has now made it possible for us to know him and be intimate with him.

Some of the things people used to gauge holiness back in the 50s were called the "don'ts". Don't smoke, don't chew tobacco, don't drink alcohol, don't play cards, don't go to movies (but TV is OK), don't dance, don't wear sleeveless clothes etc. I agree with you. It is a matter of a changed heart. Usually God can see these changes even though they are not the action people look for. Even becoming saddened by things happening in the world can reveal hearts: like the hatefulness and intolerance being taught in colleges and universities toward Christians and Jews, or toward conservatives, or toward obesity, or the hatred practiced by political activists, all these things are separating us from the world. We are further separated if we respond to them in a godly manner with compassion.

I would want a one way trip to heaven for me and my wife...… leaving as soon as possible.

I am from the UK, & remember back in the 70's, to this catastrophic event, without knowing the full story. I have just watched over 2 nights on TV, 'Storyville: Terror in the jungle'. With testimonies from survivors, who escaped being part of 918 men, women & children, murdered, because of one man, Jim Jones, who feared that authorities had discovered his motives, & would have found out that he had already arranged the deaths of a few who wanted to escape. I have written this, because I see parallels to various similar seeming cultish followings, that could result in people being indoctrinated into believing their leader's beliefs, over all else. Having felt this, watching it, at the very end, one survivor, who had written a book, said the same, & felt there would be a repeat. Having seen how actress Leah Remini, escaped Scientology, & made 3 series, so far, on TV, to show us, the abuses that are continuing to go on, behind closed doors, & having the protection of being a charitable organisation, & how ex-followers are harassed, & shamed & filmed by the cohorts of Scientology, & lauded by the likes of Tom Cruise & John Travolta, shows how gullible people can be, & be stripped of their money & lives. Having studied with the Jehovah's witnesses 35yrs ago, there are people that are separated from family members, who are not part of the cult, & similarly to Scientology, there is an indoctrination, that they are not allowed to accept literature from other faiths, but try & give you theirs, that holds the Watchtower society's publications, to be true, over all else. I am grateful that I am in the UK, yes we have faults, but at least, when it comes to guns, there are very few around, & what cultish groups there are, in smaller numbers, like JW's & Scientology & Mormons, hopefully we don't follow too much, the US lead on these cultish groups, but we are in the last days, where iniquity gains a greater pace, so each of us should pursue God's Truth, WITHOUT the reliance on leaders, who have their own agenda, to achieve a mass following.

It is actually not that expensive. I had my own web site for years, and it was actually not that expensive. https://www.bluehost.com/ Blue host, can have you up and running for about $3 a month, that includes having your own domain name, and web site hosted. The real problem is advertising. Obviously all forums, do not allow you to come on and spam adverts "Come to my forum!". I learned this the hard way. While running the website was cheap, getting people to actually come to your website, not easy. Paying to advertise your web site can start to cost some money. However, if you can get past the part of getting people to know you exist, then the next money problem will only come if you become popular. As website traffic increases, BlueHost will require you to up grade your service, to handle additional traffic. Otherwise people start getting blocked from your site. My web site never got any significant traffic, so that never happened. But back to the point.... getting a forum setup... not super expensive. Getting people to actually come to your forum..... very hard to do.

I like Dr. Heiser also. This is quite possible, the battle of Armageddon may indeed be a fight for the city of Jerusalem since we know the whole Bible is focused on the nation and the people of Israel.

@Not me Amen! What a wonderful Lord we have. He died and rose again so we can have eternal life through Him, and He also helps us individually, one to one, through this life, by having a personal relationship with Him, if we choose to do so. Let’s rejoice in Jesus and praise His name.

first of all, they would not charge anything if you really have demons talking to you.... you are no possessed or they would be doing things with your body that you would not want them to do.... Second there are many natural things that can cause you to hear voices that are not really there that have nothing to do with demonic activity.... and it is most important that you make sure you are not suffering from that kind of problem before you get into the spiritual side of things... One would need to know about your history to make sure you are not dealing with trauma or a chemical imbalance before attacking things spiritually for if either of those are the problem, the stress of an exorcism could do serious damage to your own personality that would be the pits to try and fix. The Catholic Priest that I have had discussions about this would make sure you really are dealing with spirit entities before attacking them. It is my understanding that most of the time it isn't demons causing the problem.... but it takes in-depth discussions to tell. Just be careful who you seek help from. Just off handed the very first question I would ask is if you have time periods that you can't account for.... couple of hours here or there or maybe a weekend or more.

Actually, JustPassingThru said this. The Nephillim - being the offspring of demons - are not human; they are a hybrid race which God never intended to exist. They are not covered by grace - purebred humans are covered by grace. Fallen angels and their offspring are to be eternally destroyed. They shall die like men "I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.”(Ps. 82:6-7) I don't see how anyone reading Genesis 6:1-4 literally (after all, it Genesis is a "history" book) can interpret it any other way. Fallen angels left their original habitation (Jude 6), took on flesh, and had children with human women. Alternatively, these fallen angels could have messed with the human genome to create beings God never intended to exist. Sounds crazy? Humans are on the verge of being able to create "designer babies" now. The planet is also already inundated with genetically altered (aka GMO) foods. The angels were at least as smart as we "enlightened" humans are.

I would agree, somewhat. I believe holiness starts with issues of one's heart. What's in the heart will come out, either physically, emotionally, verbally, or in our dress.

Speaking in tongues is a gift of the Spirit. It is a language between the believer and God. It is private from my personal experience. A love language between you and your Creator.

Do you really believe that God had to wait for man to decide before a writing became scripture? I believe the Holy Spirit can move scripture when He wills without having to wait centuries before man decides for themselves what is scripture or not. As for Sola Scriptura is concerned, it may of taken the RC 1500 years after Christ to come up with the word, but the idea was around since the first scripture was written. All one needs to do is look into Acts and read about the Barean people to see that they even took what was being said to them and searched the scripture to see if it were true or not.

Hi BeauJangles, I know you reached #50, but I have another to add. Let me add that I absolutely love dogs, however, it bothers me to see people drive with their pets on their laps. I'll tell you why, my aunt has a little dog and drives everywhere with her. Well one day, this little dog jumped off her lap and out the window! Thankfully, the little doggy was okay when my aunt went back for her.

I don't believe God told you were hateful bigots. How do you believe he told you that ? Neither are their are any Church denominations or church orders in Gods kingdom. He would not tell you to jump from the skillet to the fire. Your faith built on personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Your parents have nothing to do with you working out you own salvation.

We have to differ there, as ever since Emperor Constantine bought in his edict of toleration back in 312AD, where he mixed the pagan Roman beliefs with Christian belief, as he feared for his life when the Goths, visigoths, Huns & Vandals were attacking Rome. This is rightly depicted in most stained glass windows of Roman Catholic & Protestant churches, where the halo above Jesus, Mary & disciples, makes the pagans think of their sun gods. The big pointy hatted white robes that Catholic priests wear, much like the KKK, the Pope's hat that matches the fish god, with it's open mouth, & the veneration of Mary, when she herself calls Yeshua, her saviour in Lk1v47, & many more things, does NOT make the RC church the true church!

Thank you very much Omega! I really appreciate that you do that! I'm enjoying reading with others! Your work is not in vain! Keep pressing on dear brother!

And add to that there are many books recounting the "archaeological" finds of "giants," and their 'cities," ...it's really easy to prove, just Google "giants" and then images, ...that will erase any doubt any might have that are not following some agenda. Lord bless

Can't find a verse that disputes this either. Maybe it's a common sense/logical thing. Although I never really studied in in scripture until recently, I have often wondered how God will deal with those who never heard of Jesus or those twisted by the erroneous and manipulative teaching of some cults and denominations; or those who die as babies (or fetuses). IMHO, to truly exercise my free will, I need to make fully informed decisions. If I never heard of Jesus or was taught errors/lies about God, Should I go to hell because I never confessed my sins to Jesus or put faith in Him? If that were the case, wouldn't satan have a legitimate charge against God that He wasn't "just"? The only way I can get around this is that ignorant people get a chance to make an informed, free-will decision. Of course, I'm not God; and He can do whatever He wants. His thoughts are far above mine, as are His ways. Like so many other things, I must keep an open mind.

The Lord lovingly gave us His one, true Church in order to keep us safe from false and dangerous teachers. That Church is known as the Roman Catholic Church.
