We're all still learning,God is not done with you yet and He's not done with me yet,pray about it? For me the Bible is 100 % true.. :)

Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying but if we can't believe the whole Bible then what are we doing? (Nothing against you :)

Where would we be without the Lord sister? No hope :( Now we have victory in Christ !

Do you believe the whole Bible as being the word of God? That's really the end of it, you believe the Bible or you don't ,the enemy is doing an amazing job to deceiving people and where did it start? In the garden...

Amen... only one way,through the cross!

Because there was no death of human beings until after Adam,so there was was no other race living before them..

Nonsense....there's no record of any of that...

Did you know that God’s calendar actually begins with Passover? In Exodus 12:2, God tells Moses, “This month shall be your beginning of months.” God’s calendar could have started with the creation, the flood, Adam, or Abraham, but instead, He chose to start it with the Exodus from Egypt. So much of Passover points to Yeshua—the lamb, the blood, the unleavened bread—it would be simpler to tell you what doesn’t point to Him! Today, I want to show you how these ancient symbols reveal our Messiah. First, let me explain what the Passover Seder is. The word “Seder” in Hebrew means “order.” It’s the traditional meal and ceremony that Jewish families have observed for thousands of years to commemorate our deliverance from Egypt. While the Passover itself is commanded in scripture, the specific seder rituals and traditions developed over time in Jewish practice. During this special evening, we eat specific symbolic foods, drink four cups of wine, and tell the story of the Exodus to our children. Did Jesus celebrate the Passover Seder? Absolutely! In Luke 22:15, Jesus says to His disciples, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer…” Jesus not only celebrated it, He was eager to do so because He knew this ancient celebration was always about Him. This wasn’t just another religious ritual for Jesus; it was the moment He would reveal Himself as the fulfillment of everything the Passover represented. Colossians 2:16-17 tells us that the festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths are “a shadow of things to come, but the substance is Christ.” I want to show you how the Messiah is revealed in every symbol on the Passover plate and why this feast perfectly covers the timing of His death and resurrection—distinguishing him from any false prophet, false teacher, or false messiah. Let’s go over the traditional seder plate the Jews have on their tables to this day. I promise you you won’t be left spiritually hungry today! Each element has incredible significance that points directly to our Messiah, Yeshua. Blood Of The Passover Lamb Let’s start with something fascinating about the Passover lamb and the blood that caused God’s judgment to pass over. When God instituted Passover, He didn’t say, “The angel will pass over the houses of the Jews.” No, the instruction in Exodus 12:23 was clear: “And when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.” It wasn’t about ethnic identity; it was about the blood. What if an Egyptian family had overheard Moses’s instructions and put lamb’s blood on their doorposts? I have news for you: their firstborn would have been spared! We are not saved by our ancestry or ethnicity. It’s not about the blood that runs within your veins; it’s about the blood you sprinkle on the doorpost of your heart. Bones Of The Passover Lamb The shankbone is a symbol of the Passover lamb. For generations, Jewish families sacrificed an innocent, unblemished male lamb. Paul, once a persecutor of the church, wrote in 1 Corinthians 5:7, “For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.” When the scales fell from his eyes, he could see who the true Passover was. According to Exodus 12:46, not one bone of the Passover lamb was to be broken, and when they came to Jesus on the cross, John 19:33 tells us, “But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break His legs.” He fulfilled the requirements perfectly. Matzah Bread On matzah bread, you notice stripes and piercings marked into it. Isaiah 53:5 says, “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed.” Zechariah 12:10 speaks of the One whom they pierced. This unleavened bread symbolizes the sinless life of Jesus. Pay close attention to this: in every Passover seder, we have three matzahas placed together. The Jewish rabbis say they represent the priests, Levites, and the people (the Israelites), but why then do we take the middle one, break it, and hide half of it, this hidden piece we call the “Afikoman,” and later redeem it for a reward? If this isn’t about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—with the Son being broken for us and hidden for a time—what is it? The word “Afikoman” actually comes from Greek; it means “what comes after” or “that which comes later.” Jesus is still hidden from His own people, but the day will come when all Israel will recognize Him and be saved. When rabbis are asked why they break the middle matzah, they simply say, “That’s our tradition!” But traditions always have origins and meanings. This tradition perfectly pictures our Messiah who was broken for us, hidden, buried, and then returned resurrected. Bitter Herbs The bitter herbs remind us of the suffering of our ancestors in Egypt, but they also remind us of the bitter cup Jesus drank in Gethsemane when He said, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death” (Matthew 26:38). Be willingly took that bitter cup for us. Four Cups Of Wine The four cups of wine each represent a promise from Exodus 6:6-7. God would bring Israel out, rescue them, redeem them, and take them as His people. The cups represent sanctification, judgment, redemption, and praise. During the last supper, something incredible happened. Jesus took the first cup as normal, but then he did something unexpected. He skipped the second cup—the cup of judgment. Why? Because He was about to go to Gethsemane to drink that cup alone for us. Instead, after supper, He took the third cup—the cup of redemption—saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:20). What grace! He took the judgment so we could have redemption. When you take communion, you’re not participating in some man-made ritual; you’re connecting to this ancient celebration of God’s redemptive plan. The cup and bread that Jesus used to institute communion were part of this Passover meal. Here’s a thought that will blow your mind: when Jesus shed blood for the first time, it wasn’t on the cross; it was in the garden of Gethsemane, where Luke 22:44 tells us, “His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” The first Adam sinned in a garden, bringing death. The last Adam suffered in a garden, bringing life! An Empty Seat For Elijah Jewish people set an empty seat for Elijah, waiting for him to announce the Messiah. But Jesus tells us in Matthew 17 that Elijah already came through John the Baptist. The messenger has come, and so has the Messiah. He fulfilled his role as suffering servant and will return as conquering King. Singing ‘Dayenu’ During the seder, we sing Dayenu, meaning “It Would Have Been Enough.” Each line of the song declares, “It would have been enough,” but God gave more! As believers, we can say, “If you had only forgiven our sins, Dayenu, but He also made us children of God and co-airs with Christ.” Even facing crucifixion, Jesus still sang the Passover hymns in His darkest hour. Our Messiah praised God. Psalm 116:13 says, “I will take up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.” This is what Jesus did for you and me. He took that cup of salvation, drank the cup of judgment, and now offers us eternal life. The Substance Behind Every Prophetic Shadow What makes Jesus fundamentally different from any false messiah? He died as our Passover lamb, precisely on Passover day, at the exact time the temple lambs were being slaughtered. He was buried during the feast of unleavened bread, symbolizing his sinless body. He rose on the feast of first fruits. No human could orchestrate this divine timing. Only the true Messiah, who established these feasts with Moses 1,500 years earlier, could fulfill them with such precision. Friends, the mystery of the Messiah, hidden for ages, is now revealed. He is the substance behind every prophetic shadow. These feasts were prophecies in action that only the true Messiah could fulfill to the letter. God is not after the rituals, He wants hearts that recognize His Son. I pray that you will see through the beauty of Passover how God planned your salvation from the very beginning and how only through Him can we “Passover” from death to life.

The Bible Stands Alone As The Greatest Book Ever Written By Featured March 31, 2025 Voltaire, the famous French philosopher once called the “prince of infidels,” reportedly said in 1776 that within 100 years, the Bible would be a forgotten relic found only in museums. Fifty-eight years after Voltaire’s death, his house was being used by the Evangelical Society of Geneva, which distributed Bibles throughout Europe; and the printing presses on which he printed his revulsion of Christianity were printing the Holy Scriptures. No other book is like the Bible. It was written by 40 men from all walks of life—kings, priests, prophets, fishermen, and farmers—over a period of 1,600 years (1500 BC to AD 100). Some writers were highly educated, like Moses and the apostle Paul, while others had no formal education. Yet, more than 3,000 times these men claimed what they wrote came directly from God. What is it that makes the Bible different, continually relevant on a myriad of issues, and the bestselling book of all time? Simply put, the Bible is God’s Word. It is the Book of books—and it has been the wellspring of truth and accuracy for more than 3,500 years. Integrity of Scripture Jesus affirmed the Old Testament is God’s Word (Mt. 5:17–18; Lk. 24:44). He confirmed the authorships of Moses, King David, and the prophets Isaiah and Daniel; and He validated the truth of such historical events as God’s creation of Adam and Eve, Noah and the universal flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and Jonah being swallowed by a great fish. When tempted by the Devil, Jesus countered each temptation by saying, “It is written” and quoting from the Hebrew Scriptures (Mt. 4:4, 7, 10). In Luke 4:25–27, He confirmed the Bible’s divine miracles and, concerning Old Testament revelation, stated, “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled” (Mt. 5:18). So, Jesus affirmed the inspiration, inerrancy, and accuracy of the Hebrew Scriptures and accepted its books as God’s Holy Word. He also confirmed and taught the authority, reliability, unity, clarity, sufficiency, historicity, inspiration, revelation, inerrancy, infallibility, and indestructibility of the Old Testament. A sure way to prove the Bible’s accuracy is to analyze Old Testament prophecies, the Messianic ones in particular. More than one fourth of Scripture is prophetic. The Bible makes at least 1,000 predictions in specific detail, of which approximately 500 already have been fulfilled 100 percent. For example, 25 Old Testament Jewish writers detailed the life and ministry of their future Messiah. The Messiah is the only Person in history to have had His ancestry, birth, character, teaching, career, reception, rejection, death, burial, and resurrection prewritten at least 500 years before His birth. Jesus Christ clearly fits all the descriptions and fulfilled all the prophecies, including those that foretold of the Messiah’s birthplace (Mic. 5:2; cf. Mt. 2:1), manner of death (Isa. 53:8; cf. Lk. 23:46), and resurrection (Ps. 16:10; cf. Acts 2:29–32). Two of these amazing prophecies spoke of Christ’s death by crucifixion (Ps. 22; Isa. 53), written centuries before the event. There are also many prophecies concerning Israel’s persecution and devastation (such as Deuteronomy 28:15–68) and its restoration (such as Ezekiel 36:25—37:28). Some have been fulfilled, and others will be fulfilled. Authenticity of Scripture Perhaps you’re wondering, How do we know the Bible we possess today is God’s Word? First, Jewish scribes meticulously copied the Hebrew text and painstakingly counted every letter they wrote. This was their job, and they took it extremely seriously. If they made a mistake, the text was not corrected but destroyed. The nation of Israel collected and preserved these accurately copied manuscripts through the centuries (Dt. 31:26; 1 Sam. 10:25; 2 Ki. 23:24; Neh. 9:14; Dan. 9:2, 13). Second, the Dead Sea Scrolls provide evidence of this extraordinary preservation. For example, in one of the Dead Sea Scrolls (dating from 125 BC to 100 BC), the book of Isaiah was discovered in its entirety and contains the identical Isaiah text we read in our Bibles today. The same can be said about the accuracy of the New Testament, which was written after Jesus ascended to heaven. Jesus said the Holy Spirit would guide the apostles in writing the content (Jn. 14:25–26). The Holy Spirit superintended everything they wrote, providing the New Testament’s content and accuracy (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21). What about variant readings in the New Testament? There are more than 5,000 Greek manuscripts and 9,000 versions and translations. New Testament critics have evaluated the text and pronounced it more than 99 percent pure. Not only has it survived in terms of number of manuscripts, but it has survived in a purer form than any other great book of antiquity. Interpretation of Scripture The apostle Paul wrote, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15). The phrase rightly dividing the word of truth means students of Scripture must handle the text truthfully, without falsifying it. Thus, we must read our Bibles using a literal, grammatical, and historical method of interpretation to discover the original intent of the text. Literal means we employ the plain, normal, common, everyday usage of the words in the text. We interpret each word using its primary, usual, literal, original, ordinary meaning, unless the context indicates otherwise. Certainly, the literal method also takes into consideration the use of types, symbols, figures of speech, parables, and allegories as stated in the context of the verse(s) being interpreted. Grammatical means we apply rules of grammar to the words. We look at sentence structure, parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, definite articles, and prepositions) in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek languages to determine proper meaning. We give each word its literal or customary usage for the time in which it was written. Historical means we diligently study the when and where of Scripture: the historical setting and culture of the day when the words were written. Doing so opens great vistas, helping us understand why an author used certain words, warnings, or customs. This method also safeguards us from misapplying words and misinterpreting Scripture. Scripture also must be interpreted within the context in which it is written. A passage can have only one interpretation within the paragraph and cannot be interpreted accurately apart from the context in both the Old and New Testaments. For a proper interpretation, we must compare Scripture with Scripture. The Bible is its own best commentary. The author’s meaning is what is important. In other words, the author—not the reader—determines what the text means. Uniqueness of Scripture Over the centuries, both Old and New Testaments have undergone extensive microscopic analysis by renowned scholars who specialize in biblical history, literature, grammar, and archaeology. Although some textual critics have pointed out what they consider to be discrepancies, errors, and contradictions within the Bible, careful analyses have never conclusively proven the text to be in error. While variant readings exist, they are minor and relate to spelling and word order. They affect no major doctrine of Scripture. To have 40 different authors over a span of 1,600 years write a unified book without error or contradiction is unique indeed in both ancient and modern history. The Bible is unique in its history, message, universality, influence, fulfilled prophecies, preservation, power to change lives, and testimony throughout history. God’s oversight and providential preservation of it give us assurance that today we possess the verbal, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It stands alone as the greatest book ever written. Jesus confirmed this fact when He said, “Your word is truth” (Jn. 17:17). And Jesus said of His own words, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away” (Mt. 24:35). His Word is indestructible and will live forever. David M.

Jesus Dies on the Cross 45Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 47Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!” 48Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink. 49The rest said, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.” 50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. 54So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!” John 19:19 19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews.

Agree,in the beginning..

I believe the 144.000 are living now and God will use them to preach the gospel during the Tribulation after the church is gone ,there will also be the 2 witnesses ,there will be a big revival and many people will find Jesus during those terrible 7 years but might be killed for their testimony.. Better turn to the Lord before those days arrive...

So many people have tattoes now, I'm not judging anybody ,they probably can be used for good,I'm just not a tattoo person :)

I saw the riots and protest in Washington in the news last week,they happened around the same time they had something happen in England..

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:1-2

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation 1For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns. 2The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the Lord will name. 3You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem In the hand of your God. 4You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; For the Lord delights in you, And your land shall be married. 5For as a young man marries a virgin, So shall your sons marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So shall your God rejoice over you. 6I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, 7And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8The Lord has sworn by His right hand And by the arm of His strength: “Surely I will no longer give your grain As food for your enemies; And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine, For which you have labored. 9But those who have gathered it shall eat it, And praise the Lord; Those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts.” 10Go through, Go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; Build up, Build up the highway! Take out the stones, Lift up a banner for the peoples! 11Indeed the Lord has proclaimed To the end of the world: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Surely your salvation is coming; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him.’ ” 12And they shall call them The Holy People, The Redeemed of the Lord; And you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.Isaiah 62

Do Chimps and Humans Share a Common Ancestor? by Ken Ham on February 10, 2023 Last week we reran an excellent article by Dr. Georgia Purdom on the myth that humans and chimpanzees share 98–99% of their DNA. This false idea has been repeated so many times that nearly everyone’s heard it, and sadly, many people have wrongly accepted it. Shockingly, even some who claim to be young-earth creationists believe this nonsense (but, as you’ll see in the sobering series we’ve been running, such ideas are better called young-earth evolution). Now, I don’t lightly say that the myth of human-chimp DNA similarity is “nonsense”—from a scientific (as well as a biblical perspective): it really is nothing but nonsense! The 98–99% number exists because of the way the chimp-human DNA comparisons (which started with evolutionary presuppositions) were done. And that’s why we use the term young-earth “evolution,” as there is an accepting (perhaps unwittingly) of a number of the evolutionist presuppositions in the creationist camp. You see, to get that figure, scientists only compared the chimp and human DNA that “aligns,” that is, sections of the DNA that are very similar (though not identical). And in those “aligned” sections, scientists are typically only counting one type of difference. They completely ignore the aligned sections that have no corresponding match and the unaligned DNA that has no match whatsoever with chimps—which together totals at least 20%! And even that doesn’t take into consideration the differences at the gene expression level! All in all, new research suggests human and chimp DNA is only about 80% similar (and if that still seems like a lot, consider that the remaining 20% represents 600 million differences)—a far cry from the 98–99% touted by some. All in all, new research suggests human and chimp DNA is only about 80% similar (and if that still seems like a lot, consider that the remaining 20% represents 600 million differences)—a far cry from the 98–99% touted by some. No, chimps and humans aren’t nearly identical—and that’s not surprising, because we’re not related. Chimps belong to the great ape kind and humans were created distinct from the animals, in the very image of God—Adam from dust and Eve from his side—and given dominion over creation . . including the great apes (Genesis 1:27–28)! I encourage you to read Dr. Purdom’s article (and the others in the ongoing Young-Earth “Evolution” series) for more details, as this is a very common argument evolutionists throw out there to convince others, especially young people, that human evolution is true. Or, if you want a much more in-depth, technical look at this question, consider the brand-new resource Chimps and Humans: A Geneticist Discovers DNA Evidence That Challenges Evolution by Dr. Jeffrey P. Tomkins. Dr. Tomkins has a background in the fields of genetics and genomics, and in his book, he analyzes the data and discovers that secular scientists consistently tailor their research to fit the evolutionary narrative. He presents his own research demonstrating that instead of a 98–99% similarity, human-chimp genome matches are closer to 80%—results that secular scientists are beginning to echo. In other words, the more that DNA sequencing technologies improve, the worse it gets for the evolutionary worldview. As Dr. Tomkins shows, not only are the human and chimp genomes not almost identical, they are too far apart to make a common evolutionary ancestor even remotely plausible. Christians have every reason to believe the Genesis account that God uniquely created humans in his own image around 6,000 years ago. Yes, observational science confirms the Bible’s account of origins. You can find this new resource on our online store at AnswersBookstore.com.

Thank you for the reminder Ray :) Don't we all lack in times to pray depending how we feel at times? The Holy Spirit is tugging me more lately also in this area ,it's not that I don't pray ,I have a prayer scribble but at times we don't take it as serious on we should,maybe an age and pain issue also,prayer should be our first focus.. In Scothland they're not even allowed to pray in their own house anymore. You're right,we have to pray for our authorities but what is they keep doing their own evil ways? Jeremiah 7:16: "Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you,some people can harden themself so much from God that God will not hear them anymore when you pray for them? When comes that point? I know we are told to pray for Jerusalem ,authorities and others who need our prayer. I find myself most of the day talking to God or thinking about Him ,our life should be all centered about God,actually this world does not attract me to much anymore...we're citizen of heaven :)

Interesting site,thank you :)

Was it Gods plan when He created people that they would die?
