Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. From the day God said this all families continued until a member was blessed by Isaac's descendants or Ishmael's descendants. Think about all the families wiped out when the Jews took their homeland the 1st time. Before that happened Abram or a descendant had been a blessing to them. Think of all the gentile peoples God kept a family member alive until a missionary told them the Good News of Jesus. Think of all the American Indians!!! God amazes me over and over.

Genesis 5:29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. After the flood is the ground softer?

Alan said - "I do appreciate your reading the thread carefully and am also glad that it appears we agree that Revelation chapter 4 is when the Judgement Seat of Christ occurs. Alan" And - "I will respond, but very quickly. I never said that Revelation chapter 4 and 5 is the Judgment Seat. Read my post carefully. Furthermore, I stated, twice, that the empahsis is on the throne of God and the Lord Jesus as the Lamb. Read my post carefully. The saints are throwing their crowns before the Lord Jesus is what the scriptures are emphasizing concerning the church. These crowns were earned rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ." …

My wife and I have been invited to lunch on Sunday by a couple who have just come out of an ecumenical church. They are keen gospel preachers and were surprised at the gospel preaching in our church as they were told that we were a cult because we do not join forces with the ecumenical churches. If the subject comes up I would like to be ready with scripture verses. I know there are many but my memory is not too good these days, and I can't recall many. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks David

I am currently working on an article about God's work with souls from birth to heaven. This is a working draft of the introduction/ summery. The Spiritual progression of human souls (Job 10:9-19, Psalm 139:13-16) It is a misconception that a soul is either a child of God or a child of the devil at birth, automatically destined to be saved or lost, or born a sinner. Rather for all of us it is a growth process. All start out innocent and then there is a process of growth that each soul must go thorough before one becomes a saint or sinner. (John 9:1-3, Romans 9:10-12) The reason no soul can be a sinner or child of the devil before birth i…

Hello. I'm not sure if this is a good place for this post to go, but I don't have access to the KJV thread... Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good Study Bible? The few that I have looked into have some questionable helps in them. I know that of course they are just "man's opinion" but are there any that are better than others????

The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. ~ Proverbs 16:1 I just read this verse this morning, and praise God for it because it comforts me greatly at the moment. I looked up the Matthew Henry Commentary on Biblehub.com and found out that every other bible rendering on the page besides the American King James Bible says that it is up to man to prepare his heart, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. So blessed to own a copy of the King James!

Matthew 26:7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. Mark 14:3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. All three say it was in Bethany. All three agree Jesus spoke up for the woman's act of kindness. Matthew…

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. KJV At this link is comparing the KJV with other modern Bible versions on . https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John 16%3A13&version=KJV;NIV;NKJV;ESV;NASB What does it mean that the Holy Spirit shall not speak of himself? What significance of expounding on that point that whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak? Does this mean that the Holy Spirit cannot speak His own words, but the words of Another? Since that is the trut…

Genesis 1: 1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 ¶ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. What was before the First Day? I suggest Eternity

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an o…

Seeing that I recieved positive feedback from some of my notes on Song of Solomon, I have decided to make this thread where I will periodically post bits and pieces of my verse by verse exposition, I pray that the Lord will use this to encourage you and strengthen you all: Song of Solomon Commentary Introduction Song of Solomon is a book that is sadly most often neglected, and one that I have hardly heard preaching or teaching on. I was lead to ask the Lord why he had inspired it. I then set out to do a 6 month study on the book to figure out what it's spiritual value was, and I find Song of Solomon to be a deep well of water, which brings refreshment to the soul. Accor…

Modern-day "prophets", word of knowledgists, et al... ...proclaim that a "spiritual experience" equals truth regardless of God's word. They place whatever "spiritual experience" they experience above God's word. After all, "it" happened to them, so it must be true, and it must be of God...even when their "experience" opposes God's word. We have an entire movement that is experience-based. They want to experience God. They want to witness a miracle. They want to have a "feeling". They want a manifestation. We have an entire movement that exalts temporal feelings and experiences over faith. In their quest to "experience God", they will open themselves up to all kinds of fal…

2 Samuel 21:19 (ESV-English Standard Version) And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. ...oops...wait...sorry...just ignore that last verse! After reading the dual account in 1 Chronicles 20:5, the ESV corrects its mistake. 1 Chronicles 20:5 (ESV-English Standard Version) And there was again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair struck down Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. I guess there ARE contradictions in the...err...uhmmm..."Bible".

Okay.. so this forum is mainly about independent fundamental baptists teaching... Now.. Why then are so many in here talking about church with a big 'C'? Surely.. if you are independent baptist.. church is going to be a local body and a local body only? I thought that is what seperated independent baptists from every other group that calls themselves baptist.. But it appears I was wrong. I am starting to understand, 'independent baptist' could just as well mean someone who is in the baptist union..eg UK baptist union.. NZ baptist union.. or any other kind of baptist. So.. church with a big 'C'.. are you talking about 'every believer living and dead' ? If so... biblicall…

Matthew 25 1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for…

When I read "this generation" I saw it as only being Jews, in parts of the gospels. It occurred to me that I have been excluding all of my gentile peoples before Jesus was put to death. I include them at the end of Jesus life, the trial and death but before then I don't. I included them at the end of time but for some reason left out the Romans, and the neighboring communities where Jesus done mighty works, why? I don't know, blindness I guess. None of the gentile Romans who Jesus helped stepped forward to talk to Pontius Pilate. None of the common gentiles who Jesus cured came forward to help Pilate. So when Jesus was saying this generation it meant more than just the J…

At the start of his ministry. Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. Matthew 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Luke 4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: At the end of …

1 Corinthians 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. The History Matthew 26:26-30 And as they were eating (passover), Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say…
