I read the Bible from start to finish when i was in my early 20's and while i was reading it i would repeatedly pray to God for guidance and understanding.. True wisdom is a gift from God.. Anything i share that's of worth has been given to me by His Holy Spirit.. I guess anyone who shares the Gospel in engaged in preaching.. But i am not a pastor, reverend, or any other titled church official you may think of..

The Word of God is true.. Make the Holy Bible your foundation and stand on His Word.. The Body of Christ is the Body of believers who are indwelled by His Holy Spirit.. Don't worry about any denominational tag.. What ever church you may feel lead to attend just be constantly checking what ever you heard preached against the Word of God..

I think i need to give a more detailed answer instead of just responding with a my conclusion.. The verse you quote is a verse in isolation.. With just a minimal of context we can see who Paul was talking about.. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, {10} Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. {11} And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." So in the verse before 1 Cor 6:10 we see that Paul is talking about a specific group of people who are they? the unrighteous . Now how are people made righteous ( right with God )? By believing Jesus and trusting in the Atonement He secured for their salvation.. We Christians while still being sinners are Deemed Righteous by being believing in the Atonement ( ye are washed ) of the Blood Jesus shed on the cross By believing Jesus we are sanctified and deemed Justified to be with the LORD in His perfect eternal existence by our trusting ( having Faith ) in what Jesus did for us.. So the unrighteous people Paul is talking about in verse 9 are those who are not right with God.. they are unbelievers who have rejected the Word of God, Our LORD Jesus Christ.. Paul is not talking about Christians here.. The following passage confirm that all who believe Jesus and trust in His atonement are in a state of rightiousness ( right with God ).. (Romans 3:21-26) "But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; {22} Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: {23} For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; {24} Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: {25} Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; {26} To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." So in 1 Corinthians 6 9-11 Paul was talking about sinners ( and lets face it everyone is ) who are not covered by the Blood of Jesus, people who are thus Not justified by Believing Jesus but who's unforgivien sins will see them condemned on the day of judgement..

If they believe Jesus and trust in the Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ they will be saved.. Like the rest of us faulty human beings..

They are sinners in desperate need of the Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ.. Just like the rest of us..

Well it is a teaching of the catholic church that people in it MUST accept all the official teachings of the Church,, all their traditions.. I see a lot of catholics who say they disagree with roman catholic church teachings but still believe they are catholics, when the catholic church makes it clear all catholic must submit themselves to ALL the official teachings of the catholic church.. I am an ex-catholic.. I was a catholic up until my early 20's.. That's when i first read the Bible and became a Bible believing Christian.

Well those who have rejected the Gospel of Jesus are given over to deception and delusions so they can add uninspired books and lead themselves down the path to destruction.. God allows people who reject His will to wonder into oblivion.. To put the history into simple terms.. The original Christians declared the 66 books to be inspired.. But some of the Christians believed that other books had some benifit in them but that they where not inspired.. So they declared 66 books conical and the others non-conical.. But the non-conical ones where placed together with the bible for so long that the many regarded them as scripture like the rest.. When the protestant break happened the leaders of the movement decided to only have the inspired books in their Bible and this was seen as a challenge to the authority of the catholic bible that had those non-conical books added.. So the catholic authorities then ( i believe it was in the 1500 ds ) declared the formerly non-conical books to now be the inspired word of God.. over 1000 years after they where declared to not be the inspired word of God..

I believe the rapture will happen on the day of the return of Jesus.. The Day of the LORD.. The Day of the Lord is the Day of the Messiah's Second Coming Jesus describes what will happen on that day. I will bold the words i wish you to take close note of.[/I] Matthew 24 27For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. 29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. So After the tribulation Jesus will return and gather the elect to Him. There is another Rapture verse spoken of by Jesus that links the Day of the Lord to the Rapture. Luke 17 29but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31" In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32Remember Lot's wife. 33Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left." When will the Son of Man (Messiah Jesus) be revealed? At His second coming the Day of the Lord. Who will take the sleeping man and the woman grinding and the man working in the field? The angels sent out in Matthew 24 verse 21 It is also nice to note that Jesus revealed that this will be a world wide event because at the time of His return it will be day on one half of the world "In that day" and it will be night on the other half of the world "in that night" Also this will be an event that will take place in a twinkling of an eye Paul reveals the rapture and its timing at the Last trumpet this scripture is probably the best rapture supporting scripture in the bible: 1 Corrinthians15: 49And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. Here Paul is saying that as we inhabit earthly bodies derived from dust so shall we inhabit new bodies changed and not made of dust. Paul goes on to explain why: 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. So the bodies that we inhabit cannot enter the Kingdom of God and also "corruption" dead bodies must also be changed also. Then Paul reveals a mystery: 51Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed-- 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. So Paul is saying that "we shall not all sleep" now I hope everyone can agree that he is talking about physical death here? Paul is saying not everyone will experience physical death. He goes on to say that "we shall all be changed" both the dead and the living "in a moment", now at this point it could be argued that both the dead and the living could be changed in a moment in time, but at different times. That is to say the moment is only referring to the time it takes to change, not at the same moment. But we read on and Paul states the moment will be. "in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet." So not only shall both the living and the dead be changed to inherit the Kingdom of God But they will both change at the same moment, at the last trumpet. As He goes on to say "For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." Paul goes on to explain it in more detail: 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory. So here again we see Paul referring to the two states of being that the saints will be in at the time of the 1st Resurrection/Rapture "So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality," Dead saints and living saints caught up together in a twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet. So from what we have read the first resurrection and the rapture (although different experiences for them that take part) will happen at the same instant in time at the last trumpet. So now we go on to the next scripture this is the last trumpet revealed in the book of Revelation: Revelation10 7but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets. Now the sounding of the seventh Angel is the last of a series of seven trumpets in revelation. Note that the scripture says the "Mystery of God would be finished" now the coming of the Messiah has been described by scripture at a coming in the sky (a darkened sky) and all people will see Him. Now after this event there will be on ifs or buts about the Mystery of God because all will see that God is and who He is. Everyone will know from that moment on, there will be no Mystery left. As for the darkening of the sky this is described as happening beforehand on the sounding of the forth trumpet: Revelation 8 12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. Now This brings up the belief in two resurrections. The resurrection of the saints that happens at the second coming and the resurrection of the rest of mankind at the end of the 1000 years for the great final Judgement. The Book of Revelation chapter 20 clearly states that their will be two distinct resurrections one at the return of the Messiah Jesus and another at the end of the 1000 year reign of the Messiah Jesus: Revelation 20 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. satanic Rebellion Crushed (1) 7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[2] the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. The Great White Throne Judgment 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,[3] and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books

I think you have read that statement wrong.. I think the "they" in the sentence is talking about the ''Many" who hate Jews..

That would only be true if the person was questioning if Jesus was real and was putting Him to the test.. But Some people might ask God to come to them in a dream because they simply want to see Him.. I cannot see any problem if the person believes Jesus and trusts in the Atonement Jesus secured for their salvation.. As long as the result of that prayer request does not affect that persons bedrock of faith in Jesus then His will be done..

I believe they are influenced by spirits.. evil spirits. A Christian should love others even if they believe they are their enemies..

I have prayed for dreams.. But i don't remember ever praying to see Jesus.. But i did have a dream where i met Jesus.. I was pretty lost for words when i met Him all i could say was tank you for forgiving me and he gave me a hug..

I suspect it is a case of what Media one is being subjected to that causes a lot of people to believe one way or another if Trump will be impeached.. I am not subjected to a lot of US media because i live in Australia.. But even in Australia we have more pro Trump and more anti Trump factions within the Aussie media.. For instance if i only listened to the ABC ( Australian Broadcasting Commission ) TV and Radio i would be under the impression that Trump is finished and the only thing left is for the hammer to fall and Trump to be arrested and charged with other charges and he will soon be in prison.. But if one watches say the SKY network in Australia one would believe the attempt to impeach trump was a failed venture from the very start and only just a desperate ploy by anti Trump forces in the USA to try and smear Trump with the 2020 election in mind.. The delay in sending the impeachment procedure to the US senate for example is seen as an attempt by the democrats to keep the issue of the impeachment dragged out as long as they can so it can have some hoped for effect on the voting of the US people in their next election.. As far as i know most US media organizations are anti-trump CNN MSNBC ABC NPR to name a few from the impression i get only FOX is pro-Trump.. I may be wrong but that's the impression i get from over here in Australia..

No sure who is telling you this? But i very much doubt He will be impeached.. They need 2/3rds of the senators to vote for His impeachment and the republican party holds the majority of the seats in the senate.. So how on earth are the democrats going to get those republican senators to vote for the impeachment of a republican president???????? Seems like a delusion of the democrats that they are going to succeed in impeaching Trump..

I have no trouble with the concept.. The only criticism of this particular video would be that the music is a little bit too loud.. Sometimes it is hard for me to hear what the narrator was saying.. So if they knock the music sound down 1/3rd it would be better..

Righteousness is: Being Right With God.. Sadly many people define it as being a really good person who never does anything wrong.. As we know those people do not exist.. Only God is good..

The verse in Revelation declares that people will be first called to worship the image of the beast and then they will be caused to take the image.. The book of revelations says that all who refuse to worship the mark of the beast will be beheaded..... Note the Image and It's worship first and then after this the Mark of the beast Revelation 13: KJV 15"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. {16} And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: {17} And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." So all those people who refuse to worship the image of the beast will never receive the Mark of the beast for as revelation says in Chapter 20.. Revelation 20: KJV 4 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Therefore i believe the Mark of the beast will be seen as a Reward only given to those who first Worship the Image of the beast.. We read in 2 Thessalonians 2 that God will send those people strong delusions so that they will believe the lie and this passage also declares why they will be caused to believe the lie.. 2 Thessalonians 2: KJV 3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; {4} Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. {5} Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? {6} And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. {7} For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. {8} And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: {9} Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, {10} And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. {11} And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: {12} That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." So as God caused Pharaoh in Egypt to have strong delusions,, so too will God cause strong delusions in the people who end up worshiping the beast and taking the Mark of the beast.. Because these people will have rejected the love of the truth ( the Gospel Way of salvation) just as Pharaoh also rejected Gods will in refusing to let His people go.. Because of the Above scripture i do not believe any true Holy Spirit indwelled Christians will ever worship the image of the beast and thus will be in no danger of taking the Mark of the Beast..

Vert true indeed.. When a parent plays favorites they can set up a very nasty rivalry between siblings.. When kids believe their parent loves a sibling more then them it sets up a deadly competition with siblings trying to tear each other down in a desperate attempt to rise up the pecking order of their parents love.. Once this toxic state of affairs is set in motion it has a life of it's own that only grows in animosity and hate as the years go by.. If you are a parent or soon to become one never allow this state of affairs to develop..

Hello Kenzie Purgatory is not real.. In the Bible we learn that the Messiah Jesus suffered death on the cross to pay the penalty for all our sins.. Once we believe Jesus and trust in the Atonement He secured for our salvation we are purged of all our sins by His perfect Atonement.. So the doctrine of purgatory ( a place where people go after death to have their sins purged ) is a doctrine that is denying the effectiveness of the Atonement of the Messiah Jesus to atone for our sins and is thus blasphemous against the Gospel.. I was born into a devout roman catholic family but a friend at work gifted me a Bible to read when i was in my early 20's.. I read it and found out how far away the catholic churches teachings are from the Gospel of the LORD Jesus.. I would encourage you to read the Gospels also and stand with the truth and reject the faulty doctrines of men that the catholic church teaches..

Your parents may not be right with God but that should not motivate you to go and join a false religion.. I am an ex catholic i became a Christian when i read the Bible and i renounced the Roman catholic church.. I do not hate my mom and my siblings who are catholics but i do hate false religion which leads people into eternal destruction.. Anyway no matter if you are genuine in your question or you are just trolling and having some fun.. My advice is the same.. Seek the will of God through His Word and do not escape a pit just to fall victim of a snare.. Isaiah 24: KJV 16 "¶ From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. {17} Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. {18} And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake."

Where in my post did i ever say that salvation for a woman was dependent on her having long hair???? Nope i never ever said that.. Legalism is the belief that salvation is dependent on one succeeding in doing the Law.. Nowhere have i said that failure to keep the law causes one to lose their salvation.. Either what i have revealed in scripture is the Truth delivered by Paul while being inspired by God or it is not.. Either it is as the scriptures say an honor for a woman to pray with long hair and a dishonor for her to pray with short hair or those scriptures are false and should be removed from the Bible.. I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and thus i take the verses i have quoted to be Truth.. If i disbelieve and reject those verses and declare them lies i have rejected the Word of God and thus have disbelieved God.. But i accept those verses as the revealed Word of God given through Paul to all Christians.. Also as a Christian it matters not one jot what i am personally for or against as far as dress and hair styles.. If one believes God then His opinion is what is relevant and the moving of ones conscience by the Holy Spirit is of paramount importance.. So let each woman read His Word and follow their conscience.. May their conscience be clear before the LORD..

Well the Bible declares.. 1 Corinthians 11: KJV 5 "But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. {6} For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered." That a woman prays without her head being uncovered it is a dishonor.. But then in the same Chapter it reveals the following.. 1 Corinthians 11: KJV 15 "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." That long hair on a woman is her covering .. So a woman who has long hair and who is praying is honorable.. A woman who is praying with short hair is doing something dishonorable..

When did the apostles see Jesus raised up into the heavens into the hevenly kingdom? not long after his reasurection.. This generation is not talking about the generation that was with Jesus.. It was taking about the generation who would see the signs of His return Jesus was saying that the signs of his return and his return would be within a generation and that this generation would see all these signs happen.. Well in a way Jesus did return in that generation.. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are One with the Father .. So when the holy Spirit came down on the day of penticost the promise of Jesus was fulfilled.. Jesus told his diciples he would be with them always.. Matthew 28: KJV 18 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. {19} ¶ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: {20} Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

God at no stage promised us that He would cause everyone on earth to be nice and noble before the day of judgement... Lots of people walk away from god because life in this world is unfair.. Because of suffering.. The corruption of this world affirms what the Bible says about this world. It tells us this world is in a fallen state and is corrupted and that we human beings are faulty.. So rejecting God and walking away because the world is unfair and corrupt and people are bad is .... well it makes no sense at all.. The Bible makes it clear that God will not be long suffering towards the evil of this world forever so there will be no ""suffering indefinitely on this earth"" This world, the way it is and the way we humans are shall come to an end and there will be a new earth and we shall be changed.. This is the glorious hope that we Christians have through believing and trusting in the LORD Jesus Christ and the Atonement he secured on the cross to redeem us.. Whats the point of walking away from Hope? Will that suddenly transform your life into a life of bliss? Nope.. Life will continue as it did before with all the suffering and corruption and nastiness you observed yesterday and today.. One thing i will add.. No human being on earth lives here forever.. We are called upon to live a life of limited years we are all released from this world and all it's suffering when we die.. So while suffering has continued for thousands of years and may continue to exist for thousands of years more ( I do not believe it will, I believe time is short ) human beings only have to endure their life time shift working on this earth in their corrupted bodies.. Some lives are 100 years some are less then 1 year.. And in every life we experience both suffering and joy.. Hate and love.. Our lives are usually a mixed bag of experiences both bad and good.. We can get depressed and go through times when we look at life as a glass half empty and we can go through positive times when we look at the world as a glass half full.. If we have hope for a better eternity. If we can see a light at the end of this tunnel then we are more prone to seeing life asa glass half full and we are more able to endure the hits this world slaps us with.. But once you turn your back on the Light of the World the slaps will keep hitting the mark but all hope will be lost.. So i would advise you to refocus onto the light and keep on walking towards it with Hope.. May the Holy Spirit move you and give you hope..

Woman do not need to wear a vail.. If they have long hair then it is a vail.. Woman should have long hair.. For the most part woman desire to have long hair anyway..
