Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 1 :3a The ox knows its owner And the donkey its master’s crib;... Luke 2: 15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.

Who is this coming out of the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the merchant’s fragrant powders? SOS 3:6

Proverbs 22:6

Luke2 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. The Shepherds and the Angels 8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."

Song of Solomon 1:12 While the king is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance. John 12:3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

I used to be rc, but never saw it! It's rife. In a rc school, i noticed that children seem even more drawn to witchcraft than 'non faith' schools. my wider family are obsessed. I just pray for their deliverance. Even told the kids that God hates witchcraft! Nothing else works! Oh and carols, and hymns for that matter, if they don't mention the Name of Jesus, we could be singing to anyone.

Creation account not all of His miracles were documented. they were so many, that all the books in the world couldn't contain them.

Ask a silly question... Not really for Christian discussion is it?

Do we know of anyone in The Bible Who performed miracles? Water into wine. walked on water. Calmed wind and waves. Healed the blind/lame (from birth) Fed five thousand. fed four thousand. rose from the dead. raised others. And more, which were too many to record. Jesus was with God in the beginning, all things were made through Him. Jesus is The God of miracles.

Whose evidence? Science? Please. God's way is recorded in Genesis. it's His doctrine. Gen 2 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

? Those who attempt to read millions of years into the Bible narrative not only violate traditional accepted standards of Hebrew linguistics (which are never questioned when applied to other passages in the Bible) but severely undermine the authority of God’s Word and brings the God of the Scriptures into disrepute.

Amen!

W T H !!

I don’t know where to get help either. Churches don’t help, it’s just another routine, that I’ve done most of my life. I read The Bible, but nothing’s going in. I must be in a dry spell too. I don’t even read stuff on here anymore. The debating bugs me. I do still ask for prayer though-I’m on an e-cig, and cant shake it. I have been delivered of worse things, so don’t lose heart. The Lord knows what we need more than we do.

I only manage to read one book at a time. If it’s not The Bible, I’m distracted. even these forums distract me from The Bible. no more. The Lord Himself has condescended to teach the way: for this very end He came from heaven. He hath written it down in a book. O give me that book! At any price give me the Book of God! I have it. Here is knowledge enough for me.

Haha What I meant was, we shouldn’t allow ourselves to be distracted by other books. I used to be, you see, and they were a waste of my time. I’m a woman of one book now :)

We overcome the flesh, by reading The Bible (in context of course)

Both Paul’s quotes. What would John say on the subject of dealing with sin in our lives? Or even better, Jesus? WWJD

Matthew 5:17 luke 16:31

according to reports in Bigelow News and ScienceDaily 8 April 2021, Science Alert 9 April 2021, and The ISME Journal, 6 April 2021; doi: 10.1038/s41396-021-00965-3. Originally found deep in a South African mine, a bacterium named Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator was found to survive on a diet of chemicals produced from radioactivity deep in the earth. Since then the bacteria have also been found deep underground in California and Siberia where the chemical environments are each very different. Scientists thought they had “a unique opportunity to look for differences that have emerged between the populations over their millions of years of evolution”.However, when scientists from the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences studied 126 samples from the three different and widely separated sites, they found the separate genomes were almost identical. According to Ramunas Stepanauskas, who led the study, “It was shocking. They had the same makeup, and so we started scratching our heads”.Stepanauskas went on to explain: “The best explanation we have at the moment is that these microbes did not change much since their physical locations separated during the breakup of supercontinent Pangaea, about 175 million years ago. They appear to be living fossils from those days”. The scientists suggest the microbes have remained unchanged because of accurate copying of their DNA which has maintained them in a state of “evolutionary stasis”. These unusual microbes were originally discovered in 2005 and later studied by an international team of scientists, including scientists from NASA Astrobiology Institute. A NASA news article made the following comments about the microbes: “Genomic analyses have revealed that the organism’s genes code for everything needed to sustain an independent existence and reproduce, including the ability to fix its own nitrogen, move freely, sense its environment, protect itself from viruses, and even sporulate during nutrient-poor periods”. (NASA News 10 October 2008) Sporulate means to form spores. Links: Bigelow, NASA, Science Alert, ScienceDaily ED. COM. Unlike the research team above, we are neither shocked nor scratching our heads. This new study combined with the results of the 2008 study is evidence that since its first recorded appearance on planet earth this microbe has existed in a fully functional state which has provably not changed from then till now – exactly like all living fossils. Secondly, despite their evolutionist prejudice, even the NASA article admits the bacterium is well designed to live where it was found. Ipso Facto, this is exactly what you’d expect to result from Genesis 1-2 being true. They were created to work well and to reproduce copies of themselves without evolving. On that basis we predict that if their fossils are found in claimed older rocks they will still be the same unevolved and unevolving bugs. P.S. 1 Note that the researchers who did this present study used the term “living fossil” but they did not find any fossilised bacteria. P.S. 2 Don’t miss the fact that the term “evolutionary stasis” is evolutionist code for saying a living organism has not evolved.

1. ‘Behold The Lamb of God, Who ‘takes away’ the sin of the world’. (John 1:29) Jesus removes original sin (Rom 5) Past sin(s) (1Cor. 6:9,10,11) present sin(s) (1 Thess. 5:23) future ?? ‘We have an advocate with The Father, Jesus Christ The Righteous-BUT ‘go and sin no more (from now on) ‘lest a worst thing come upon you’. 2. ‘My sheep hear My voice...’ John 10 (anybody who follows Jesus The Christ) 3. John 3: esp. v. 16-17. It ‘happens’ the moment we are born again. :)

Realised recently that He was talking about compassion. It is not ok to sin against people. There is no justification, not once, let alone 490 times. ’but with The Lord, all things are possible’ Four years ago, i received the gift of compassion for somebody that I loathed, and I wasn’t even trying!...it blew my mind

Thankyou i understand that many people are on different journeys, but I read a book about José Comblin’s work some years ago. He went to Brazil, among street people, and saw deliverance on a large scale, which he could only attribute to the work of The H.S. people were set free from life controlling addictions, not by self control, but supernaturally, delivered. They could only glorify The Lord, because they had tried to be free, in their own strength. self control is a fruit, and obviously The Lord loves/expects obedience from believers, but what José saw, transcended self control.
