62 | Do all men belong to God? | Job 33:6 | Glory Bound | 131919 | ||
If they were not God's children, they were the devil's, for God and Satan divide the world of mankind; the devil is therefore said to work in the children of disobedience. Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. God created man. All creation belongs to God, but He gives us a free will to serve whom we choose. One can not serve two masters, for either he will love the one and hate the other, or he will hate the one and love the other, thus man is called "a child" of the one whom he serves. Mat 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. Mat 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. Mat 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Mat 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. Mat 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. Mat 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; As to redemption. We are redemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Sadly, there are those who refuse to accept that gift. Redemption comes only through Grace and our acceptance through that "free will" we were given. GB |

63 | Do all men belong to God? | Job 33:6 | Glory Bound | 131921 | ||
"puts a big hole in the "free will" concept.." True, He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires, yet whom of us can distinguish. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Rom 3:23-24 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end "shall be saved." Mat 10:22 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but "with God all things are possible." Mat 19:24-26 Things aren’t as glum and dreary as many would lead us to believe, for He takes no pleasure in the punishment of the wicked. Were it not for that "free will," He would have it that we all would be saved. Many, such as Pharaoh and Judas were raised up for a particular purpose. Likewise, so were Moses and Jacob. So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. Rom 9:18. For what purpose were you raised up? GB |

64 | Were angels created on day 2 or 3? | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128752 | ||
Dear soul, you may wish to turn to the following passage for your answer to this question, for there is no other answer that is scriptural. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: Proverbs 3:5-7 In Christ and His word GB |
||||||
65 | Proverbs 3:5-6 ; in a relationship | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128758 | ||
Some trust in science. Many trust in their own abilities. Some would have you believe that they must understand what scripture says before they can accept the truth thereof. The truth is that if this were true, they most assuredly would not be using a computer, telephone, or even a light bulb. They are fooling only themselves. When I simply do not understand something, Proverbs 3:5-7 is my rock. Inevitably, if it is important, the Holy Spirit reveals it. Sometimes it is years before I get the answer that I thought I needed so much. One show of faith is in a Christian’s adherence to Pro 3:5. God Bless GB |
||||||
66 | People want answers! | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128760 | ||
If you are looking to man for an "absolute" answer, you are looking in the wrong place. Get into the word. It will get into you... This is a promise. GB |

67 | Were angels created on day 2 or 3? | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128843 | ||
What I was saying is that there is much that we will not understand while in the flesh. Many seem to place much importance on such matters. We were not commanded to understand such trivial matters. They tend to side track us from what we were commanded to do. And what was it we were commanded to do? GB |

71 | living together prior to marriage | Amos 1:1 | Glory Bound | 130678 | ||
Adultry: : voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband; also : an act of adultery. I believe the word "fornication" would have been more appropriate here. GB |
||||||
72 | living together prior to marriage | Amos 1:1 | Glory Bound | 130679 | ||
1Co 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Check out the rest of that chapter. Without a doubt, it will answer your question. GB |

73 | Determine if the wife was a virgin or no | Matt 1:23 | Glory Bound | 131145 | ||
Though it is highly possiable that the word "virgin" may not be in a passage relating to your question, the word virgin appears 33 times in scripture. Only 7 of which are in the NT. So, if your thought is in scripture as you think, it is probably in the OT. (NT) KJV Mat_1:23; Luk_1:27; 1Co_7:28; 1Co_7:34; 1Co_7:36; 1Co_7:37; 2Co_11:2; (OT) KJV Gen_24:16; Gen_24:43; Lev_21:3; Lev_21:14; Deu_22:19; Deu_22:23; Deu_22:28; Deu_32:25; 2Sa_13:2; 1Ki_1:2; 2Ki_19:21; Isa_7:14; Isa_23:12; Isa_37:22; Isa_47:1; Isa_62:5; Jer_14:17; Jer_18:13; Jer_31:4; Jer_31:13; Jer_31:21; Jer_46:11; Lam_1:15; Lam_2:13; Joe_1:8; Amo_5:2; I hope this helps GB |

74 | How do we OBTAIN mercy? Hebrews 4:16 | Matt 5:7 | Glory Bound | 129975 | ||
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. Deu 4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. We obtain mercy simply because "the LORD thy God is a merciful God" Mercy is obtained through the blood of Jesus. GB |

75 | How do we OBTAIN mercy? Hebrews 4:16 | Matt 5:7 | Glory Bound | 130032 | ||
As a final thought, one might want to consider the following. The Gospel brings judgement on those who do not believe and mercy to those who respond. God Bless GB |

76 | Denounce militant Islam? | Matt 5:44 | Glory Bound | 131549 | ||
But Tim... "Why are Christians so scared to denounce militant Islam?" Why do we not take the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword and the breastplate of righteousness and "denounce militant Islam?" For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 1Th 5:9 -10 How can we not care for the souls of the countless thousands who are so misled by such as the Quran? Not to mention its slanderous attack on the very foundation of Christianity, Jesus Christ Himself? I purchased a Quran only to see for myself what it says concerning our Savior. After a quick word search of the name Jesus, I did not have to read very far before I realized that I didn’t need to read any farther. Personally, after having only read a minute portion of the Quran, though I do love the followers, I detest the book. It is a true work of Satan. I cannot understand how anyone who has ever read that book does not understand the bigotry, hatred and murder it spawns against all who believe contrary or see the truth of its origin. Is it only our inheritance with which we are to be concerned, or should we not sew and defend the truth of THE WORD, that the harvest might be more plentiful? Should we not “fight the good fight” where the Islamic faith itself is concerned? GB |

Your devotional hit the nail on the head. There are so many hypocrites who do not even come close to knowing the true meaning of the word... Likewise there are many professed Christians who do not even come close to knowing the true meaning of the LIFE. GB |

79 | how do i pray for help? | Matt 6:9 | Glory Bound | 130618 | ||
It has been said that the Lord is as close as the tip of the tongue, or He is as close as ones knees to the ground. I attest that He is even closer than that, for according to scripture, He has written His Word in the hearts of His people. We are to pray without ceasing. This is not that our every moment is to be spent on our knees in prayer. What it is is that we are to constantly praise Him, thank Him and make prayerful supplications (to ask humbly and earnestly of), throughout the day. I firmly believe the answer to your question lies in Matthew chapter 6. If for no one else other than yourself and your loved ones, consider 2 Timothy 2:15 in the KJV May God Bless, protect, watch over and be with you and yours. GB. |

80 | What is the correct way to pray | Matt 6:9 | Glory Bound | 132395 | ||
Hi Lorenzo, and welcome to the family of God. Concerning prayer and how to pray, I love the sayings that “the Lord is as close as our knees are to the ground,” or “He is as close as the whispered prayer.” I am sure you will hear many opinions on prayer however, I would state that if you are sincere, which I am sure you are, the best place to get your answer is in scripture itself. Stay away from those whose primary concern is relieving you of your money. Don’t let them fool you. Let me quote what our Savior stated concerning the matter of prayer. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Mat 6:9-13 You may wish to study Matthew chapter 6, for it should answer all many of your questions concerning prayer. Though I personally love repeat the above, and often do when the words simply aren’t there, we are not to constantly repeat a particular prayer as though we were a record player. We are to speak to the Father as we would, one to another, in the name of His Son, and directly to the Son, Jesus, as though they were right there with us, for they are. Please consider the following. Many will have what they consider the correct answers to spiritual questions. Many got their answers from many such as themselves. The one true and rock solid place to get the correct answer scripture. I recommend “eSword.” You can download it for FREE at http://www.e-sword.net/support.html . It contains various versions of scripture, Biblical dictionaries, commentaries, and many more useful study tools. There are even versions Españole. This software is to the Bible what Windows is to the computer. You can find any passage you wish without even knowing scripture. All you need is to know a couple words in the verse. The following is an excerpt from Matthew Henry concerning The Lords Prayer, which I just quoted: compliments of “e-Sword.” Christ saw it needful to show his disciples what must commonly be the matter and method of their prayer. Not that we are tied up to the use of this only, or of this always; yet, without doubt, it is very good to use it. It has much in a little; and it is used acceptably no further than it is used with understanding, and without being needlessly repeated. The petitions are six; the first three relate more expressly to God and his honour, the last three to our own concerns, both temporal and spiritual. This prayer teaches us to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and that all other things shall be added. After the things of God's glory, kingdom, and will, we pray for the needful supports and comforts of this present life. Every word here has a lesson in it. We ask for bread; that teaches us sobriety and temperance: and we ask only for bread; not for what we do not need. We ask for our bread; that teaches us honesty and industry: we do not ask for the bread of others, nor the bread of deceit, Pro_20:17; nor the bread of idleness, Pro_31:27, but the bread honestly gotten. We ask for our daily bread; which teaches us constantly to depend upon Divine Providence. We beg of God to give it us; not sell it us, nor lend it us, but give it. The greatest of men must be beholden to the mercy of God for their daily bread. We pray, Give it to us. This teaches us a compassion for the poor. Also that we ought to pray with our families. We pray that God would give it us this day; which teaches us to renew the desires of our souls toward God, as the wants of our bodies are renewed. As the day comes we must pray to our heavenly Father, and reckon we could as well go a day without food, as without prayer. We are taught to hate and dread sin while we hope for mercy, to distrust ourselves, to rely on the providence and grace of God to keep us from it, to be prepared to resist the tempter, and not to become tempters of others. Here is a promise, If you forgive, your heavenly Father will also forgive. We must forgive, as we hope to be forgiven. Those who desire to find mercy with God, must show mercy to their brethren. Christ came into the world as the great Peace-maker, not only to reconcile us to God, but one to another. Till that great and final day; May God Bless, protect, watch over and be with you and yours. In Christ, our Savior GB |
