4 | Jesus knew.......... | John 13:11 | Love Fountain | 42301 | ||
Dear sctt, Thank you for responding. We are taught in Scripture that there must be a second witness for truth to be established as follows, Matt 18:16 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. KJV Please help me, for it appears that John has something against Judas. Judas is called a thief by John, John 12:7 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. KJV Jesus says one of you is a devil but it is John that claims it to be Judas, John 6:70-71 70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. KJV Where is the second witness to establish Johns claims? Bless you, Love Fountain Matt 4:4 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. KJV |

Dear Tim, Thank you for responding. I truly love, with all my heart, talking to those who believe and study the Bible. The depth of understanding we each gather, I believe is determined by the Holy Spirit that speaks not of Itself but that to which is spoken. I don't recall ever stating Judas to be in heaven, only that Scripture does not state that he is in hell as many would have otherwise. I also do not find fun in discussing the judgement of the eternal fate of ones soul when that belongs to the one who made us and none other. Remember judge not that you be not judged, for with what you judge it will be judged to you. Do believers honestly think this doesn't apply to them? Do they not see the vanity of their salvation upon condemnation of any soul, whether good or bad? You state,"The biggest indicator of Judas' heart to me is his defiant act of throwing the money into the 'naos' or Holy of Holies. To me, this indicates that his heart was not right with God. But, who knows!" Remember that God does not dwell in temples made by mans hands? Didn't Jesus tell the pharisees and those with them that their father was not Abraham? That they were of their father the devil. Since their father was the devil how can there be a Holy of Holies to which they control? I would contend that Judas learned who those were in sheeps clothing who were indeed of the synagogue of satan as mentioned in Revelations 2 and 3, in regards to the churchess of Philadelphia and Smyrna, the members of those churches know those that say they are jews and are not but are the synagogue of satan. The fact is Judas repented and gave back the money which clearly shows a change of heart. Jesus taught you cannot serve two masters and must choose one. Did not Judas give back the one and choose the other? I believe he did and yet man still has the guts to say that Judas' repentance wasn't sincere? Who knows the heart of man? Jesus said let Him without sin cast the first stone. Bless you, Love Fountain Luke 15:3-10 3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

6 | Is Interracial marriage Bible supported? | 2 Corinthians | Love Fountain | 42120 | ||
Dear angel1, God is Love.(1John 4:16) God loves you and so do I within the body of Christ. Once you believe in Jesus, repent and seek the will of the God in the Bible by reading the Bible for yourself you are no longer single. You are engaged to be married if you are in the body of Christ. Life is hard in the flesh and we have many things which bring us to places we never want to be, especially in hind sight. But please know that you are loved. You are a unique and very special child of the Father that has created everything and He really cares about you all the time. It may not always appear that He is there, but believe me He is always there, allowing you to make your own choices through the gift of freewill. We are not here to be single, we are here to make a choice of right or wrong and it is that simple. The choice is left up to all His children because He wants true Love. Imagine if God came to you and said angel1 I am God and you will love me or I will destroy you. Would that be true love? NO! All of His children must make that choice on their own. Love is found within His words, the Bible and within the fellowship of fellow brothers and sisters who read and study to seek His will. I have read many of your posts since you have decided to introduce yourself to me and I want you to know you are Loved and engaged to be married, not single. Just say LOVE, as corny as it sounds it really helps. Who knows your soul mate may be feeling the same way as you, "born to be single" and yet be right around the corner. Bless you, Love Fountain 1 John 4:7-11 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. KJV PS- I was hoping you would answer some of the questions I asked you. But that is up to you. |

7 | death, being with Jesus -verse? | 2 Corinthians | Love Fountain | 42050 | ||
Dear angel1, It is I Love Fountain. You state,"You are thinking of second Corinthians vs 8 and the previous verses 1-7." I am wondering what you are referring to since you did not give a chapter, only a book and verses? Bless you, Love Fountain Deut 30:6-10 6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

Dear angel1, Please call me Love. For it is love that shall set us all free from the sin nature we bare. Thank you for the response. Do you believe in the rapture? Which one if yes? Bless you, Love Fountain Deut 7:7-9 7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; KJV |

9 | Is today the only day of salvation for a | 2 Pet 3:1 | Love Fountain | 42031 | ||
Dear angel1, Please call me Love. For it is love that is the greatest gift of all. Love of all His children is why Iesous went to the cross, and bled and continues to bleed to this very day. You ask,"why point out that I should forgive?" I don't recall being durogatory, I believe I said "we", collectively need to forgive each other or we will not be forgiven. In order to forgive each other "we" must first forgive ourselves for this is the hardest to do. Once we forgive ourselves, we can then look to others and find unity in the body of Christ. The body of Christ is not and will not be divided on the day of the return of Iesous. May you find comfort, love, forgiveness and mercy to all the Fathers children including yourself. Bless you, Love Fountain Ps 91:1-4 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

11 | how much is a legion? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 41774 | ||
Dear jenbrock, The following three sources talk about legion. I hope this helps and sorry for any duplicates. LEGION LEGION The principal unit of the Roman army, consisting of 3,000 to 6,000 infantry troops and 100 to 200 cavalrymen. The New Testament does not use the word legion in its strict military sense, but in a general sense to express a large number. When Jesus healed a man possessed by unclean spirits or demons, He asked the man his name. He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many" (Mark 5:9). The man was inhabited by many demons. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright (c)1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers) LEGION LEGION The largest division of the Roman army, of which it was, in order and armament, the miniature; 6,000 foot, with a body of horse. Matt 26:53, "thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels," against this band from the Roman "legion"; not merely My twelve apostles, but twelve "legions," and these "angels?" (compare 2 Kings 6:17; Dan 7:10.) In Mark 5:9 the demon-possessed says, "my name is legion, for we are many," "because many demons (Greek) were entered into him." (from Fausset's Bible Dictionary, Electronic Database Copyright (c)1998 by Biblesoft) LEGION LEGION. A main division of the Roman army, nearly equivalent to our regiment. It comprised a much larger number of men, running from 3,000 men to about 6,000 at the time of Christ. See Army. Figurative. The word legion came to mean a great number or multitude, for example, of angels (Matt 26:53) and of evil spirits (Mark 5:9,15). BIBLIOGRAPHY: H. M. D. Parker, The Roman Legions (1928). (From The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. Originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois. Copyright (c) 1988.) Bless you, Love Fountain Ps 119:76-77 76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. 77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. KJV |

12 | Jesus knew.......... | John 13:11 | Love Fountain | 41770 | ||
Dear myah, I too watched the History channel show lastnight on Judas. I don't think there is such a thing as an inappropriate question when you are searching for truth and understanding in God's word but I do know that Judas is a hot topic which bothers many if they have to think about Judas not being in hell. The plain basic fact is that Scripture does not plainly and clearly state that Judas went to hell know matter how many people want him there it is only speculation. Speculation I don't personally agree with. You state,"Judas did exactly what Jesus said one of his disciples was going to do." To this I agree and also that Jesus even told Judas when it was time for him to deliver Him up and sent Judas(John13:27) to fulfill the prophecy of the OT. The Greek word for betray in John 13:11 is paradidomi meaning to surrender, i.e. yield up, intrust, transmit. So by definition we can say Judas yielded up or intrusted Jesus to the High Priest. Why would Judas do this knowing that the High Priest was seeking the life of Jesus? I believe Judas delivered up Jesus because he was deceived. I believe Judas believed that Jesus was indeed the Messiah and that if he could get Jesus and the High Priest together that Jesus would take His rightful place. Judas also knew that it was the time of the Passover and that there are to be no trials during the time of the Passover and I believe Judas thought Jesus would be ok. The reality of the matter is that the High Priest and the others with him did indeed have a trial, which by the way is punishable by death if done during Passover, however the High Priest broke the law and even had Jesus sentenced to die by crucifixion. Upon sentencing of Jesus, I believe Judas was outraged and this is when he went to the High Priest and told him they have shed innocent blood and Judas repented and gave back the pieces of silver. Then the story goes, that Judas went and hanged himself. Usually when someone is hung they are hung by the neck. When someone is hung by the neck they usually fall feet first, thus suffocating or breaking the neck. But then you have Judas. The text says he fell headlong(head first) and that his guts burst out. I keep going over in my head how someone can fall headfirst when they hang themself and I just don't see how that could happen. They say the rope or knot in the rope slipped. Was the rope around his neck or his feet? Then we hear he hit a rock while falling and that is how his guts burst. I don't think so because it is not written that way but many accept this teaching? Think about this, Judas, the only disciple that stuck by Jesus through the trial, eventhough he delivered Him up, knew the law. Judas(the only disciple from the tribe of Judah) knew that it was unlawful for the trial and upon the sentencing of Jesus told the High Priest that it was unlawful and punishable by death and that all those who were a part of the trial were guilty of breaking their own laws they hold so dear. What do you think happened next? The High Priest and the others with him were scared Jesus was going to take away their standing and place in the temple and the temple too and they premeditated murder on Jesus what do you think happened to Judas when he told them he would expose what they had done on the Passover? Search the Scriptures, it is there. I onced heard the apparent suicide of Judas likened to the guy who commited suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head six times and I agree, smells fishy to me. Judas is made out to be the bad guy yet why is he the only disciple that never forsake or separated himself from Jesus publicly. There are many truths that have been corrupted by the teaching of man and it is our job to read the Bible for ourselves so we know how to stand on our own when the evil one comes knocking and offering false blessing. Remember Jesus in all the temptations always started with "it is written" and quoted the law written in the book of Deuteronomy. By saying what I have said here, will make me a very unpopular person, but in the name of Jesus and the love of the truth this is what I believe with my whole heart and to accept that Judas is in hell without Scripture clearly and plainly saying so makes me ask why do those who say Judas went to hell need him there? Bless you, Love Fountain 2 Sam 22:26-29 26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. 27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. 28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. 29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. |

Dear kalos, Yes, I believe Eze 13:20 has to do with the rapture, endtime prophecy, aviation and space flight,but superman is questionable, but redemption from depravity is not. One thing is certain throughout the Bible, though depraved through lack of definite agreement, all believers have the victory over death. The very gift of freewill allows each of us to choose what we believe and through the gift of life we are allowed to decide for ourselves the path we shall take. I agree, from the beginning to the end, throughout the context of the Bible we must read line upon line, verse upon verse and chapter by chapter to understand what is written. Notice Eze 13:17 says,"prophesy against the daughters....who prophesy" because they prophesy out of their own hearts and minds just like the lady, Margaret McDonald, who I believe truly began the teaching of the rapture less than two hundred years ago when she was sick, she had a false vision just like the Bible talks about in Eze 13:23. This false vision has spawned many different variations of interpretation of the body of Christ gathering back to Christ Himself. In Eze 13:18 God tells us of these women that sew pillows to all armholes, they sew coverings, these coverings are the deceptive veils on the heads of the souls being hunted and by the veiling of God's outstretched hands they deceive by lying(Eze 13:19) falsely promising life to those who believe and take heed to their lies. In Eze 13:19 it says they slay people that should live and give a guarantee of life to those who should not. This sounds like a set up to me. Jesus says if they tell you I am here or there do not go and do not beleive them. Something angelic shows up and says I am an angel sent to take you to Jesus and give you life, are you going to go? I hope not because as Jesus says "have ye not read?" Please tell me who is the one throughout the whole context of the Bible that hunts souls? Bless you, Love Fountain Ezek 13:17-23 17 "Likewise, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; prophesy against them, 18 and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their sleeves and make veils for the heads of people of every height to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people, and keep yourselves alive? 19 And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?" 20'Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I am against your magic charms by which you hunt souls there like birds. I will tear them from your arms, and let the souls go, the souls you hunt like birds. 21 I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall no longer be as prey in your hand. Then you shall know that I am the LORD." ' 22 Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to save his life. 23 Therefore you shall no longer envision futility nor practice divination; for I will deliver My people out of your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD." ' " NKJV |

19 | what is the source | Mark 15:21 | Love Fountain | 41624 | ||
Dear dasev, I am not sure what prayon's source for this info is, but I found the following to support what prayon stated as follows, SIMON 5. "Simon of Cyrene." A Hellenistic Jew, born at Cyrene, on the N coast of Africa, who was present at Jerusalem at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus, either as an attendant at the feast (cf. Acts 2:10) or as one of the numerous settlers at Jerusalem from that place (6:9). Meeting the procession that conducted Jesus to Golgotha as he was returning from the country, he was pressed into service to bear the cross (Matt 27:32; Mark 15:21; Luke 23:26) when Jesus Himself was unable to bear it any longer. Mark describes him as the father of Alexander and Rufus, perhaps because this was the Rufus known to the Roman Christians (Rom 16:13), for whom he more specifically wrote. The Basilidian Gnostics believed that Simon suffered in the place of Jesus. (From The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. Originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois. Copyright (c) 1988.)

Dear angel1, While it is true that Jesus has mercy on us who believe in Him. It is also true that He will not have mercy on us if we don't have mercy on others. Mark 11:26 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. KJV Bless you, Love Fountain Matt 18:21-22 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. KJV |
