@ Casey,
y should i go out of way @ read other books? y r u going to Babylonia to search about islam... u just take a translation of Holy Quran & read. then u will get the idea about islam & muslims.
all my christian friends r programmed to think the same way. when any1 paused a difficult question to them, they r nicely trying to escape o trying to tlk out of topic o getting emotion. in this way u cant convince non christian people to the truth which u belive. can u giv me a logical reply to the comments which i paused earlier about the matthew (12:38-40). what did jesus (PBUH) trying to say. waiting 4 ur reply.
Here Jesus makes clear that is is ok to do good works on the Sabbath. He remind them that he is Lord on the Sabbath, just like any other day. I really liked how Jesus spoke.
Tamara Beryl Latham on Matthew 12:1 - 13 years ago
What many do not realize is there was corn(maize) in Egypt in biblical times, and Pharoah's dreams about the seven ears of corn were about real ears of corn, and not grain.
Archeologist, Gunnar Thompson has unearthed 21 golden corncobs in Egypt. One picture of the corncob is c 1470 BC. This picture certainly looks like an ear of corn.
According to Thompson most of the evidence comes from the temple of Queen Hatshepsut who reined as Queen or Pharoah from 1492 to 1458 BC

Regarding Matthew 12:32...? It's simple and clear. Many things unknown and unbearable to the human eye has taken place on our filthy behalf. We are carriers of great light where there is no fear. inside. there is no fear, no question, just all knowing. Jesus is that light and the Spirit remains for we laborers. In other words, let's not doubt, deny, shun, curse.... the Holy Spirit. All of this is bigger than our words. God has to show you if you ask. Amen
I think it might be more to do with deception as oposed to just plain ignorence, (the great deceiver being the devil of course) In other words, if the fruit of the Tree is good (holy spirit), then praise the Lord! Do not trick and deceive the people by telling them a lie that it is bad. The priests should have been the first to worship Jesus, they were after all the educated ones.
I believe that verses 31 & 32 are warning against cursing The Lord and being unsaved, because when we get saved ALL our sins are paid for. Also when we get saved, He cleans up our life and the cursing tends to disappear.
could it mean words spoken while in the flesh can be forgiven;while words spoken when in the spirit cannot be-isn't eternal life spiritual-not phsyical
Dear Rosie, Regarding your question, 'How do I become perfect in love so that fear will no longer be part of my daily life?'
The more you read God's Word (WORDS,) the more FAITH increases in you, along with all of the other fruits of the Spirit.
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
So, just read, read, read. It is the same as to EAT spiritual meat, and drink spiritual drink. It's not about just merely memorizing the scriputures, no more than is eatting for physical nourishment about memorizing how physical food tastes.
And, daily repent of; confess, your sins unto the Lord, or if you can't think of any, ask Him to forgive you for just in case. As, to repent is a priviledge for those that have received Christ. No one CAN repent in the way of true repentance without FIRST receiving Christ. That is WHY there's no need to repent IN ORDER to answer His call, and receive Him:
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Since you HAVE received Christ, you WILL repent, because you believe and trust in God, and therefore you are BLESSED, your are GODLY, and RIGHTEOUS, and UPRIGHT, and the GOODNESS of God SURROUNDS YOU:
Psalms 32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
(By the time the Lord is through CLEANSING us with His blood, and forgiving us, there is NO guile or any unrighteousness whatsoever! And all it takes is a moment each day, or sometimes maybe several moments.)
Psalms 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I WILL confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall EVERY ONE that is GODLY pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
ONLY the GODLY will humble themselves, and bring forth the FRUIT of the mouth MEET FOR; WORTHY OF, repentance, due to true sorrow of heart; being sorry for any sin, even any we didn't mean, nor intend.
Proverbs 12:14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the FRUIT of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
Luke 3:8 Bring forth therefore FRUITS worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
And it is GOD Himself that gave you the GIFT of His Spirit that makes you WILLING to repent:
Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for TO WILL is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD which worketh in you both TO WILL and to do of his good pleasure.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that HE which hath begun a good work in you WILL PERFORM perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
If we were not inclined to sin, as to yield to it in some way, He would not command us, upon receiving Him, to ABIDE in Him, to FOLLOW AFTER Him etc... We DO abide in Him, as we continue to obey His command to love, and to confess; repent of, our sins when, or in case we, disobey Him, so we can proceed to CONTINUE in Him. And, as we do these things:
John 15:4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear FRUIT of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits MEET FOR REPENTANCE:
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth CONFESSION IS MADE unto salvation.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and JUST TO FORGIVE us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
2 Corinthians 7:10 For GODLY sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the GOODNESS OF GOD leadeth thee to repentance?
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt BE CONDEMNED.
As we repent of; confess, our sins daily, we KNOW we are then CLEAN, and up and ready to CONTINUE to WALK in Him, UN-defeated!
So, all we need do is to BELIEVE, RECEIVE, SAY, SPEAK, CONFESS, God's Word unto us, as we read it. And He has A WORD for EVERYTHING good unto us:
Psalms 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: NO good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
He even instilled 'repenting of sin' in the very prayer He instructs us to pray daily:
Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our DAILY bread.
12 And FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, as we forgive our debtors.
13 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.
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
As you remember to repent, TAKE JOY, in reading, and confessing, God's Word, unTO you, as for what you are, and have, in Christ, in God, by faith. And that faith will become manifested, as God, by His Spirit, will PERFORM His Words that you confess by faith, and perfect you more and more each day:
Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which WORKETH BY LOVE.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
Father.
1 John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because GREATER IS HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not MADE PERFECT IN LOVE.
1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is PERFECTED in us.
Romans 13:10 LOVE WORKS NO ILL to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love DWELLETH IN GOD, and God in him.
Psalms 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
Hebrews 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
2 Kings 17:39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Psalms 145:19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
Proverbs 10:24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
Oh, calm down dear glenda. Dnt b emotional. I knw dat it is not command us to follow the whole bible. Coz god almighty sent jesus (pbuh) only 4 da jews according 2 da quran & da bible. Not 4 me & not 4 u, if u r a gentile. Bt it s not written anyware in the bible dat jentile should not read this book. And the same time as a beliver jesus christ (pbuh) i hav all rights to comment, when some one contradict 2 da words of this mighty massenger jesus (pbuh). C my earlier comments abt matthew (12:38-40). Whn my christian brothers havnt gt a logical answers to my question, they reply 2 c dat book, c dat chapter, st paul says dis, christ died 4 our sins... Ect...
I'm asking 2 giv a prove from the jesus's (pbuh) word dat he says "i died 4 ur sins".
Nebeel, if you are muslim, what are you doing reading the KING JAMES BIBLE? You don't belive in it, undertand or want to understand it. I want ask you about the caren because it is not for CHRISTIANS. If you wanted to understand the CHRISTIAN BIBLE "THE ONLY BIBLE" ask JESUS CHRIST to forgive you for your sins and your unbelief and get in a good BIBLE based church. ACTS 9: 27 tells of Barnabus taking Paul to the apostles after helping him (Paul) excape from people who wanted to kill him. later in that chapter-- verses 32-35---the BIBLE tells of Peter evangelizing. This was after Paul was converted, Peter walked with JESUS so,this could not be 300 years after the asention of JESUS.
THE BIBLE states that the Church in Antioch is where JESUS CHRIST'S fellowers were first called Christians. Don't forget the book of JAMES, JESUS'S brother. This is just a few examples of the saying "study to show your self approved".
Dear mel & glenda, i would like to tell u 1 thing before i reply to your comments. I am a muslim. Do you know the position of jesus (pbuh) in islam. No muslim is a muslim, if he dsn't beliv in jesus (pbuh). We belive in his miraculas birth that he born without any male support, which many modern day christians do not belive. Specialy anglican church in america. V belive dat he gave life to the death with god's permission. V beliv dat he healed born blind with god's permission. V beliv dat he was one of the mightiest massengers of almighty god. V love him & respect him more than the christians. I wil explain u later, If u want 2 knw da reason.
Now coming 2 da point. I do agree dat stil there are some words of god existing in the bible. But as a whole it is not in the original foam. It has coruptd by ppl. All christian scholars r agree to this statement. Coz our present king james version bible also 5th major revision of the original king james version, Which compiled in (1611).
St.paul came 2 exist 300 years after jesus (pbuh). They ddn't live in same time period.
This abt john (3:16). If u read the REVISED STANDARD VERSION & NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION BIBLES, the verse is there. But the word "BEGOTTEN" has thrown out by the christian scholars due to interpolation, fabrication, concoction. This RSV version bible is most up to date bible which taken from most encient schriptures. Any how god gave jesus (pbuh) to the jews to take out from their sins & show them the correct path. & hav the everlasting life.
Nabeel. Of course Ezekiel 18:21 is true. It's a part of The Word of God, our Bible. The Bible is true because it's inspired of God.
The only one that could pay for our sin is Jesus Christ. The reason he could pay that debt of our sin for us is because He is perfect.Read John chapter 3. There are a lot of words spoken by Jesus himself, like verse 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
I love Jesus because he loved me enough to pay my sin debt which no man could ever do. I know this is true because it is in God's own Holy Word.
My faith is in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Historisn Paul? Nebeel calls Paul a historian.
Nebeel, read ACTS chapters 8 & 9.
this will show you that Paul was really Saul before accepting JESUS CHRIST into his life. After this JESUS CHRIST sent Paul to the gentils (you and me) to preach the gospel.
Dear Mel, i didn't found any wrong in Ezakiel 18:21. its true. but it doesn't mean that some one can pay for others sin. According to roman 5:8, why every child born in sin. did adam (PBUH) ever asked us before he eats the forbidden fruit. then how can we responsible for that. if your father killed a man, can we hang u for that. as human we know that it is unjust. will god almighty do such a injustice for us. this is illogical brother.
brother, did Jesus (PBUH) ever said that i died for your sins. this is the comments of historians. why are you'll giving more grade to historians than your lord Jesus's (PBUH).
for an example in Matthew (19:16-17) "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?""And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." but st.Paul comments in 1 Corinthians (15:14) "And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain."
we can find contradiction in these comments of Jesus (PBUH) & st.Paul. Jesus (PBUH) said to keep the law & commandment to enter the the eternal life. but according to st.paul all our good deeds are useless unless chist didn't risn from the dead. no where in gospels jesus (PBUH) said that "Belief i died for your sins to enter the eternal life" at least as a least commandment. but our Christian brothers giving more grade to historians like st.paul than the jesus (PBUH), though it contradict to christ (PBUH). is this the way you are respecting & loving Jesus (PBUH)?
This is for Nabeel. If you study it out you'd find that Jesus spent 3 days and 3 nights amongst man.The clutches of the world before he started suffering for our sins. As far as your comment in Ezekiel, you forgot to keep it in context. when you read on you'll find "But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die." Ezekiel 18:21
Also for you Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST DIED for us.
God Bless
This is for mel. in John 19:30-37 these words from an eye witness. not from jesus christ (PBUH). but if u read Matthew 12:38-40, these words utter by jesus christ (PBUH) him self. john says that the soldier found jesus christ (PBUH) was dead according to him. But in gospel st. matthew Jesus christ (PBUH) says that his sign was jonah's (PBUH) sign. as jonah (PBUH) was alive in the belly of the wahale, Jesus Christ (PBUH) also alive the heart heart of the earth. now you decide who is speaking the truth. Jesus (PBUH) or the eye witness.
and the second thing is, no any person can pay for others sin. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him" ezekiel (18:20).
This is for Nabeel. If you read John19:30-37 you would see that Jesus did die and so yes there is resurrection. He did this for you and for me because we are sinners and can't possibly pay for all we've done
derek,
I was reminded by the Lord's Holy WORD as follows!
DOERS OF THE SCRIPTURE ARE NEEDED BIGTIME!
Come on now. You really need to read this carefully. SCRIPTURE IS PLAIN. SCRIPTURE IS THE ONLY WAY WE KNOW JESUS! MANY only go to church on sun-day because the catholics made them. They changed the calendar and PASSED IT DOWN AS MAN'S TRADITION. They DID NOT ADHERE TO SCRIPTURE, AND THEREBY FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY. THIS is not being said lightly. TRADITIONS CONTRADICT SCRIPTURE. WHEN THEY DO THEY MUST BE PUT DOWN IN FAVOR OF HOLY SCRIPTURE. IF not we don't have any faith in what the scripture says because FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD! Those that changed sabbath to sunday have abandoned the faith that cometh by hearing that comes by the word of God. Go ahead study to show thyself approved and don't trust any man. Let EVERY MAN be A LIAR BUT LET GOD BE TRUE! HE IS TRUE IN HIS WORD!
Exodus 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
Exodus 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Psalm 119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Now, some may quote 2 Corinthians 3:6 "Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
But what is also TRUE THROUGH AND THROUGH IS THIS SCRIPTURE FROM JESUS HIMSELF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS: " John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
What "letter" of the law is being spoken of here? Is it the letter of the law that is indicated in the following scripture? 2 Peter 1:20-21 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." Is it the "letter" of the law that is being spoken of in this scripture? 2 Timothy 3:15-17 "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
ALL SCRIPTURE includes old an new testament. Circumcision of the male organ is the judaizing factor which is ABSOLUTELY NOT NECESSARY unless it involves the "CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART FROM AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF."
Jesus said to keep His commandments! One of them is to remember to keep the sabbath day holy as a sign of Him as we await and prepare for His coming. the catholic church changed the calendar to sunday, the first day of the week and the catholics will boast and brag quite boldly that they did because of their IMMENSE POWER. So much is their boldness that they berate protestants who SAY they believe the bible first and foremost for their not keeping the SCRIPTURAL SABBATH. Catholics despise what they call sola scriptura and if they see waffling or weakness or inadherence to the scriptures by those that SAY they adhere to scripture first and foremost, they take every opportunity to impugn their RESOLVE, because they SAY and DO NOT DO!
JESUS IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. The New Testament is NO REPLACWEMENT OF THE OLD. IT IS THE FULFILLMENT! Need proof! Here are some EXPLICIT references AS WRITTEN IN THE King James Bible, TRUE THROUGH AND THROUGH IN EVERY WORD!
Matthew 1:22
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Put away yuor tradition and take up the tradition of GOD ACCORDING TO HIS WORD. HIS WORD IS PLAINLY TRUE. IF you can read it, you can rely on it, even if you do not fully understand it. Ask and YE shall receive will take care of that part. Any lesser standard of belief in HIS HOLY WORD, is accepting the traditions of men and those are the "LETTERS" that "KILL" and those are what JESUS DECRIED AND BERATED THE PHARISEES ABOUT.
If you still insist the Sabbath, the token of JESUS CHRIST AND MESSIAH is not important or "JEWISH", since when have you as a believer in JESUS been CUT OUT OF THE OLIVE TREE'S ROOT AND FATNESS. You as a believer in JESUS ARE GRAFTED IN TO THE ROOT AND FATNESS THAT IS JESUS OUR KING. The Jews wre broken off for unbelief, and do you think you with unbelief will fare any better? Look it up. If it says "unto all your generations" or "perpetually" or "everlasting" etc. do we disregard that these words have EXTREMELY important meanings to ALL BELIEVERS? If you will keep the tradition of separation and GOD FORBID hatred of JEWS, YOU HAVE IGNORED the STORY OF RUTH AND THE WORDS OF THIS GENTILE MOABITESS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN. LET THEM NEVER FALL FROM YOUR LIPS. "YOUR GOD SHALL BE MY GOD AND YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE!"
STOP WITH THE TRADITION ALREADY! DO IT ACCORDING TO THE PLAIN WORD OF GOD, HIS WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE!!!!
Jonah (PBUH) was alive in the belly of the whale for three days. he didn't die. to fulfill the prophecy, Jesus (PBUH) also should be alive in the tomb for thee days. for a person to resurrect, he should die. if the death is not taking place, where is the question for resurrection. in this verse ( Matthew 12:38-40) Jesus (PBUH) confirms that he didn't die and he didn't resurrect. my Christian brothers cant understand this simple English in this King James version.
Lie to GOD you shall be forgiven. Lie to HIS SON JESUS and ask forgiveness and you shall be forgiven. But, lie to the HOLY GHOST and you shall not be forgiven (verses 31-32 all so ACTS 5 1-10
wesley is also correct because a man seeing the powerful works at hand would have to take a stand with christ or against christ. the pharisees chose against and took stand to slander christ but the work was of his father. Christ: for it is not i who speak but my father who has spoken though me. in no scholar but this seems pretty clear to me
I love to study GOD'S WORD.VERSES 3-4 JESUS spoke of David. I went to 1Samuel 21/1-6. I noticed that the priest required David's abedience of the law from David and his men before he was allowed to eat the shew bread. On this side of the cross JESUS'S WORD is LAW. verse 34b "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth seaketh" We need to make sure that we don't have (heart trouble.)
Chosen Vessel of the Remaining Bride on Proverbs 8 - 14 years ago
Please read and understand:
There remains no excuse for those people who do not realize that God�s image is masculine and feminine. All of God�s creation generally declares the masculine and feminine image of Elohiym. It is clear that out of Adam came forth a female Adam who was genetically bone of his bones, flesh of his flesh (see Genesis 2:22-25). The masculine Adam and the feminine Eve reveal the image of the spiritual Father
(Melchizedek) and Mother (Holy Spirit/El Shaddai/Shekinah). The removal of Adam�s rib to make a woman is a reflection of how Elohiym became masculine and feminine. Out of Adam came forth a female Adam (Eve) who was equal in all things. Adam was only perceptually first amongst his feminine equal, since Eve was always within Adam and is Adam. This same paradigm reflects the presence of Elohiym. Out of subatomic negative darkness of God the Father came the positive light of God the Mother (Holy Spirit), who are the atoms in all things. The Father (subatomic darkness) seemed to be first amongst equals. In the heavenly sense of the earthly parallel, the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the eternal subatomic darkness, always dwelt in the intangible eternal body. Accordingly, the eternal body of darkness became masculine (darkness) and feminine (light), just as Adam became genetically male and female. The feminine Holy Spirit has her reflection in the feminine part of creation. She is our heavenly and earthly Mother, whose greatest image is seen in the form of Eve. Our universal spiritual parents are Elohiym. Elohiym (Gods, plural) said, �Let US (God the spiritual Father and spiritual Mother) make man (Adam and Eve) in OUR image (masculine and feminine), after OUR likeness� (see Genesis 1:26, 27). This reveals how the invisible things of Elohiym are clearly revealed by the things they have recalled. Wisdom is personified as a woman in Proverbs 8:1. Wisdom is none other than the words of the feminine Holy Spirit. The feminine Holy Spirit is the Glory of the masculine part of Elohiym. God has possessed Wisdom (words/thoughts of the feminine Holy Spirit) from the very beginning of Elohiym�s ways (see Proverbs 8:22). Wisdom was set up (came forth) from everlasting (darkness of God). Thereby, Wisdom came out of God (everlasting), as Eve came out (Adam�s rib) of Adam (see Proverbs 8:23).
The people of today who sin against Wisdom (Holy Spirit) by rejecting present truth have freely chosen to be forever lost (see Proverbs 8:36). When a person rejects present truth (this new doctrine), he or she is rejecting the latter-day words of Wisdom (Holy Spirit) and committing the unpardonable sin (see Matthew 12:31). To swallow an abomination is to believe that Elohiym is not masculine and feminine, as reflected through their greatest earthly image (Adam and Eve). Man and woman are the final reflection of Elohiym. There are three that bear record in heaven: the Father, the word (two-sided scroll of life), and the feminine Holy Ghost (Mother), as alluded to in 1 John 5:7. The Father being Melchizedek and the word being the Son and Daughter, then the Holy Ghost/Shekinah is the Mother. There can be no son or daughter without a father and mother. Accordingly, the Holy Spirit is the eternal Father�s feminine equal.
Revelation 12:1: And there appeared a great wonder in
HEAVEN; a WOMAN {image of the Holy Spirit} clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a CROWN {Queen of heaven} of twelve stars:
According to the word of the LORD the rock from whence we are hewn is a comet( Psalms 18: 12, 13; Daniel 2: 34, 35; Revelation 8: 11; 9: 1 - too many others to mention) that struck the earth in the previous timeline which will occur again in our generation ( Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10; 3: 15; 12: 1-8) the impact of the comet creates an immense pit in the earth ( Isaiah 5: 14; Psalms 55: 23; 94: 14; Jeremiah 48:44; Matthew 12:11; Revelation 11:7; Revelation 20:1). The 144,000 mentioned in Revelation 14 are the ones who escape the effects of the comet impact that destroys all life on earth ( Isaiah 1:9; Ezekiel 12:16).
As Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale, and then came out again alive, thus Christ would be so long in the grave, and then rise again.
# Jonah (PBUH) did not die in the belly of the whale according to the book of jonah. so where is the question for "coming out alive again". he didn't risn from the dead.
The Queen of the South is Sheba (iKings10:1-13) She sought wisdom and truth and was satisfied when instructed by Solomon about the one true God of Israel. Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, is greater than Solomon and thus deserves more respect and attention to his words. The chapter shows the self-righteous wanting to ignore God in the flesh in their presence and condem him for not following their rules. For that they will be judged. Is Jesus only a man, only a prophet, only a teacher? He is the savior/Messiah come to die for the sins of the world. Did he die for you and pay for your sins? Do you know "about" him or is he your personal saviour? The self-righteous couldn't recognize him, can you?
Ms Gwen,
This verse(42), is another parable spoken by Jesus, to try to tell us in a picture, using words, how to become ready for His coming.
She(the Queen), is any woman, whom at that time
of Moses heard throughly and searched from "the outermost parts of the earth", to gain all the wisdom of Solomon, and... because that was the primary focus of her life, she as "any woman" was able to make judgement on the World,condemn it and SEE JESUS!!.....Vs.42 ....."behold, a greater than Solomon is here." (Jesus)
Any woman, including you, can become, Queen of the South, if You believe on Him, search both Gospels for the wisdom of Solomon, and go to the ends of the earth if need be, to keep Jesus and his words, FIRST in your life. You too, can judge the world, and condemn the sins that you see, thus seeing Jesus, as HE IS COMING AGAIN!
( not my words, go to Lk.11/31, and Matthew Henry's commentary )
Do not be discouraged if you still do not understand. The "Queen", had to search the world. Now we can pray directly to Jesus for undestanding, and we're still washed of our sins, in our lifelong search for Him on this earth. Then, by Grace only,we are Heaven bound. God bless. Ya'll, please pray for Pam. Come back to us...
Can someone please explain to me what this means? I am studing the word and wnat to understand.
42The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
Thank Jesus for Mr. Matthew's, " His mother and bretheren stood without, desiring to speak with him,when they should.....desiring to hear him."
The Holy Spirit has ordained me for more than a decade, and my "preparation" is now illustrated as merely an excuse to not walk in the door as Christ prepared me. I MUST take this knowledge and grace and fearlessly enter the door, and prayerfully do his work, as is written in scripture. Thank you Jesus, your will be done.
I will prepare, and serve more... Richard
y should i go out of way @ read other books? y r u going to Babylonia to search about islam... u just take a translation of Holy Quran & read. then u will get the idea about islam & muslims.
all my christian friends r programmed to think the same way. when any1 paused a difficult question to them, they r nicely trying to escape o trying to tlk out of topic o getting emotion. in this way u cant convince non christian people to the truth which u belive. can u giv me a logical reply to the comments which i paused earlier about the matthew (12:38-40). what did jesus (PBUH) trying to say. waiting 4 ur reply.
Archeologist, Gunnar Thompson has unearthed 21 golden corncobs in Egypt. One picture of the corncob is c 1470 BC. This picture certainly looks like an ear of corn.
According to Thompson most of the evidence comes from the temple of Queen Hatshepsut who reined as Queen or Pharoah from 1492 to 1458 BC

Search ResultsChrist, Muhammad, and I - By Mohammad Al Ghazoli
The more you read God's Word (WORDS,) the more FAITH increases in you, along with all of the other fruits of the Spirit.
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
So, just read, read, read. It is the same as to EAT spiritual meat, and drink spiritual drink. It's not about just merely memorizing the scriputures, no more than is eatting for physical nourishment about memorizing how physical food tastes.
And, daily repent of; confess, your sins unto the Lord, or if you can't think of any, ask Him to forgive you for just in case. As, to repent is a priviledge for those that have received Christ. No one CAN repent in the way of true repentance without FIRST receiving Christ. That is WHY there's no need to repent IN ORDER to answer His call, and receive Him:
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Since you HAVE received Christ, you WILL repent, because you believe and trust in God, and therefore you are BLESSED, your are GODLY, and RIGHTEOUS, and UPRIGHT, and the GOODNESS of God SURROUNDS YOU:
Psalms 32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
(By the time the Lord is through CLEANSING us with His blood, and forgiving us, there is NO guile or any unrighteousness whatsoever! And all it takes is a moment each day, or sometimes maybe several moments.)
Psalms 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I WILL confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall EVERY ONE that is GODLY pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
ONLY the GODLY will humble themselves, and bring forth the FRUIT of the mouth MEET FOR; WORTHY OF, repentance, due to true sorrow of heart; being sorry for any sin, even any we didn't mean, nor intend.
Proverbs 12:14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the FRUIT of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
Luke 3:8 Bring forth therefore FRUITS worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
And it is GOD Himself that gave you the GIFT of His Spirit that makes you WILLING to repent:
Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for TO WILL is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD which worketh in you both TO WILL and to do of his good pleasure.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that HE which hath begun a good work in you WILL PERFORM perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
If we were not inclined to sin, as to yield to it in some way, He would not command us, upon receiving Him, to ABIDE in Him, to FOLLOW AFTER Him etc... We DO abide in Him, as we continue to obey His command to love, and to confess; repent of, our sins when, or in case we, disobey Him, so we can proceed to CONTINUE in Him. And, as we do these things:
John 15:4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear FRUIT of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits MEET FOR REPENTANCE:
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth CONFESSION IS MADE unto salvation.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and JUST TO FORGIVE us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
2 Corinthians 7:10 For GODLY sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the GOODNESS OF GOD leadeth thee to repentance?
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt BE CONDEMNED.
As we repent of; confess, our sins daily, we KNOW we are then CLEAN, and up and ready to CONTINUE to WALK in Him, UN-defeated!
So, all we need do is to BELIEVE, RECEIVE, SAY, SPEAK, CONFESS, God's Word unto us, as we read it. And He has A WORD for EVERYTHING good unto us:
Psalms 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: NO good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
He even instilled 'repenting of sin' in the very prayer He instructs us to pray daily:
Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our DAILY bread.
12 And FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, as we forgive our debtors.
13 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.
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
As you remember to repent, TAKE JOY, in reading, and confessing, God's Word, unTO you, as for what you are, and have, in Christ, in God, by faith. And that faith will become manifested, as God, by His Spirit, will PERFORM His Words that you confess by faith, and perfect you more and more each day:
Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which WORKETH BY LOVE.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
Father.
1 John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because GREATER IS HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not MADE PERFECT IN LOVE.
1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is PERFECTED in us.
Romans 13:10 LOVE WORKS NO ILL to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love DWELLETH IN GOD, and God in him.
Psalms 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
Hebrews 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
2 Kings 17:39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Psalms 145:19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
Proverbs 10:24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
I'm asking 2 giv a prove from the jesus's (pbuh) word dat he says "i died 4 ur sins".
THE BIBLE states that the Church in Antioch is where JESUS CHRIST'S fellowers were first called Christians. Don't forget the book of JAMES, JESUS'S brother. This is just a few examples of the saying "study to show your self approved".
Now coming 2 da point. I do agree dat stil there are some words of god existing in the bible. But as a whole it is not in the original foam. It has coruptd by ppl. All christian scholars r agree to this statement. Coz our present king james version bible also 5th major revision of the original king james version, Which compiled in (1611).
St.paul came 2 exist 300 years after jesus (pbuh). They ddn't live in same time period.
This abt john (3:16). If u read the REVISED STANDARD VERSION & NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION BIBLES, the verse is there. But the word "BEGOTTEN" has thrown out by the christian scholars due to interpolation, fabrication, concoction. This RSV version bible is most up to date bible which taken from most encient schriptures. Any how god gave jesus (pbuh) to the jews to take out from their sins & show them the correct path. & hav the everlasting life.
The only one that could pay for our sin is Jesus Christ. The reason he could pay that debt of our sin for us is because He is perfect.Read John chapter 3. There are a lot of words spoken by Jesus himself, like verse 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
I love Jesus because he loved me enough to pay my sin debt which no man could ever do. I know this is true because it is in God's own Holy Word.
My faith is in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Nebeel, read ACTS chapters 8 & 9.
this will show you that Paul was really Saul before accepting JESUS CHRIST into his life. After this JESUS CHRIST sent Paul to the gentils (you and me) to preach the gospel.
brother, did Jesus (PBUH) ever said that i died for your sins. this is the comments of historians. why are you'll giving more grade to historians than your lord Jesus's (PBUH).
for an example in Matthew (19:16-17) "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?""And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." but st.Paul comments in 1 Corinthians (15:14) "And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain."
we can find contradiction in these comments of Jesus (PBUH) & st.Paul. Jesus (PBUH) said to keep the law & commandment to enter the the eternal life. but according to st.paul all our good deeds are useless unless chist didn't risn from the dead. no where in gospels jesus (PBUH) said that "Belief i died for your sins to enter the eternal life" at least as a least commandment. but our Christian brothers giving more grade to historians like st.paul than the jesus (PBUH), though it contradict to christ (PBUH). is this the way you are respecting & loving Jesus (PBUH)?
Also for you Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST DIED for us.
God Bless
and the second thing is, no any person can pay for others sin. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him" ezekiel (18:20).
I was reminded by the Lord's Holy WORD as follows!
DOERS OF THE SCRIPTURE ARE NEEDED BIGTIME!
Come on now. You really need to read this carefully. SCRIPTURE IS PLAIN. SCRIPTURE IS THE ONLY WAY WE KNOW JESUS! MANY only go to church on sun-day because the catholics made them. They changed the calendar and PASSED IT DOWN AS MAN'S TRADITION. They DID NOT ADHERE TO SCRIPTURE, AND THEREBY FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY. THIS is not being said lightly. TRADITIONS CONTRADICT SCRIPTURE. WHEN THEY DO THEY MUST BE PUT DOWN IN FAVOR OF HOLY SCRIPTURE. IF not we don't have any faith in what the scripture says because FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD! Those that changed sabbath to sunday have abandoned the faith that cometh by hearing that comes by the word of God. Go ahead study to show thyself approved and don't trust any man. Let EVERY MAN be A LIAR BUT LET GOD BE TRUE! HE IS TRUE IN HIS WORD!
Exodus 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
Exodus 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Psalm 119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Now, some may quote 2 Corinthians 3:6 "Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
But what is also TRUE THROUGH AND THROUGH IS THIS SCRIPTURE FROM JESUS HIMSELF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS: " John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
What "letter" of the law is being spoken of here? Is it the letter of the law that is indicated in the following scripture? 2 Peter 1:20-21 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." Is it the "letter" of the law that is being spoken of in this scripture? 2 Timothy 3:15-17 "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
ALL SCRIPTURE includes old an new testament. Circumcision of the male organ is the judaizing factor which is ABSOLUTELY NOT NECESSARY unless it involves the "CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART FROM AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF."
Jesus said to keep His commandments! One of them is to remember to keep the sabbath day holy as a sign of Him as we await and prepare for His coming. the catholic church changed the calendar to sunday, the first day of the week and the catholics will boast and brag quite boldly that they did because of their IMMENSE POWER. So much is their boldness that they berate protestants who SAY they believe the bible first and foremost for their not keeping the SCRIPTURAL SABBATH. Catholics despise what they call sola scriptura and if they see waffling or weakness or inadherence to the scriptures by those that SAY they adhere to scripture first and foremost, they take every opportunity to impugn their RESOLVE, because they SAY and DO NOT DO!
JESUS IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. The New Testament is NO REPLACWEMENT OF THE OLD. IT IS THE FULFILLMENT! Need proof! Here are some EXPLICIT references AS WRITTEN IN THE King James Bible, TRUE THROUGH AND THROUGH IN EVERY WORD!

Put away yuor tradition and take up the tradition of GOD ACCORDING TO HIS WORD. HIS WORD IS PLAINLY TRUE. IF you can read it, you can rely on it, even if you do not fully understand it. Ask and YE shall receive will take care of that part. Any lesser standard of belief in HIS HOLY WORD, is accepting the traditions of men and those are the "LETTERS" that "KILL" and those are what JESUS DECRIED AND BERATED THE PHARISEES ABOUT.
If you still insist the Sabbath, the token of JESUS CHRIST AND MESSIAH is not important or "JEWISH", since when have you as a believer in JESUS been CUT OUT OF THE OLIVE TREE'S ROOT AND FATNESS. You as a believer in JESUS ARE GRAFTED IN TO THE ROOT AND FATNESS THAT IS JESUS OUR KING. The Jews wre broken off for unbelief, and do you think you with unbelief will fare any better? Look it up. If it says "unto all your generations" or "perpetually" or "everlasting" etc. do we disregard that these words have EXTREMELY important meanings to ALL BELIEVERS? If you will keep the tradition of separation and GOD FORBID hatred of JEWS, YOU HAVE IGNORED the STORY OF RUTH AND THE WORDS OF THIS GENTILE MOABITESS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN. LET THEM NEVER FALL FROM YOUR LIPS. "YOUR GOD SHALL BE MY GOD AND YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE!"
STOP WITH THE TRADITION ALREADY! DO IT ACCORDING TO THE PLAIN WORD OF GOD, HIS WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE!!!!
There remains no excuse for those people who do not realize that God�s image is masculine and feminine. All of God�s creation generally declares the masculine and feminine image of Elohiym. It is clear that out of Adam came forth a female Adam who was genetically bone of his bones, flesh of his flesh (see Genesis 2:22-25). The masculine Adam and the feminine Eve reveal the image of the spiritual Father
(Melchizedek) and Mother (Holy Spirit/El Shaddai/Shekinah). The removal of Adam�s rib to make a woman is a reflection of how Elohiym became masculine and feminine. Out of Adam came forth a female Adam (Eve) who was equal in all things. Adam was only perceptually first amongst his feminine equal, since Eve was always within Adam and is Adam. This same paradigm reflects the presence of Elohiym. Out of subatomic negative darkness of God the Father came the positive light of God the Mother (Holy Spirit), who are the atoms in all things. The Father (subatomic darkness) seemed to be first amongst equals. In the heavenly sense of the earthly parallel, the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the eternal subatomic darkness, always dwelt in the intangible eternal body. Accordingly, the eternal body of darkness became masculine (darkness) and feminine (light), just as Adam became genetically male and female. The feminine Holy Spirit has her reflection in the feminine part of creation. She is our heavenly and earthly Mother, whose greatest image is seen in the form of Eve. Our universal spiritual parents are Elohiym. Elohiym (Gods, plural) said, �Let US (God the spiritual Father and spiritual Mother) make man (Adam and Eve) in OUR image (masculine and feminine), after OUR likeness� (see Genesis 1:26, 27). This reveals how the invisible things of Elohiym are clearly revealed by the things they have recalled. Wisdom is personified as a woman in Proverbs 8:1. Wisdom is none other than the words of the feminine Holy Spirit. The feminine Holy Spirit is the Glory of the masculine part of Elohiym. God has possessed Wisdom (words/thoughts of the feminine Holy Spirit) from the very beginning of Elohiym�s ways (see Proverbs 8:22). Wisdom was set up (came forth) from everlasting (darkness of God). Thereby, Wisdom came out of God (everlasting), as Eve came out (Adam�s rib) of Adam (see Proverbs 8:23).
The people of today who sin against Wisdom (Holy Spirit) by rejecting present truth have freely chosen to be forever lost (see Proverbs 8:36). When a person rejects present truth (this new doctrine), he or she is rejecting the latter-day words of Wisdom (Holy Spirit) and committing the unpardonable sin (see Matthew 12:31). To swallow an abomination is to believe that Elohiym is not masculine and feminine, as reflected through their greatest earthly image (Adam and Eve). Man and woman are the final reflection of Elohiym. There are three that bear record in heaven: the Father, the word (two-sided scroll of life), and the feminine Holy Ghost (Mother), as alluded to in 1 John 5:7. The Father being Melchizedek and the word being the Son and Daughter, then the Holy Ghost/Shekinah is the Mother. There can be no son or daughter without a father and mother. Accordingly, the Holy Spirit is the eternal Father�s feminine equal.
Revelation 12:1: And there appeared a great wonder in
HEAVEN; a WOMAN {image of the Holy Spirit} clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a CROWN {Queen of heaven} of twelve stars:
# Jonah (PBUH) did not die in the belly of the whale according to the book of jonah. so where is the question for "coming out alive again". he didn't risn from the dead.
The Queen of the South is Sheba (iKings10:1-13) She sought wisdom and truth and was satisfied when instructed by Solomon about the one true God of Israel. Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, is greater than Solomon and thus deserves more respect and attention to his words. The chapter shows the self-righteous wanting to ignore God in the flesh in their presence and condem him for not following their rules. For that they will be judged. Is Jesus only a man, only a prophet, only a teacher? He is the savior/Messiah come to die for the sins of the world. Did he die for you and pay for your sins? Do you know "about" him or is he your personal saviour? The self-righteous couldn't recognize him, can you?
This verse(42), is another parable spoken by Jesus, to try to tell us in a picture, using words, how to become ready for His coming.
She(the Queen), is any woman, whom at that time
of Moses heard throughly and searched from "the outermost parts of the earth", to gain all the wisdom of Solomon, and... because that was the primary focus of her life, she as "any woman" was able to make judgement on the World,condemn it and SEE JESUS!!.....Vs.42 ....."behold, a greater than Solomon is here." (Jesus)
Any woman, including you, can become, Queen of the South, if You believe on Him, search both Gospels for the wisdom of Solomon, and go to the ends of the earth if need be, to keep Jesus and his words, FIRST in your life. You too, can judge the world, and condemn the sins that you see, thus seeing Jesus, as HE IS COMING AGAIN!
( not my words, go to Lk.11/31, and Matthew Henry's commentary )
Do not be discouraged if you still do not understand. The "Queen", had to search the world. Now we can pray directly to Jesus for undestanding, and we're still washed of our sins, in our lifelong search for Him on this earth. Then, by Grace only,we are Heaven bound. God bless. Ya'll, please pray for Pam. Come back to us...
42The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
The Holy Spirit has ordained me for more than a decade, and my "preparation" is now illustrated as merely an excuse to not walk in the door as Christ prepared me. I MUST take this knowledge and grace and fearlessly enter the door, and prayerfully do his work, as is written in scripture. Thank you Jesus, your will be done.
I will prepare, and serve more... Richard
