    Excuse me please , I believe that baalzebub is or rather was , the god of Ekron . As far as I can remember , the only place we read of him in the Old Testament is in the first chapter of the second book of Kings . It's an excellent chapter concerning Ahaziah , son of the notorious Ahab , and Elijah .

    Additional statement. I thought it prudent to mention lyrics that say that God is not angry with you (despite His being "angry with the wicked every day"); God being only love and "accepting you as you are" is at best imbalanced. God through Christ is able to accept us into the beloved but I believe theologically it is accurate to say that He grants repentance. No matter how Predestination is viewed repentance MUST be a part of salvation. I would say that there needs to be a deliberate turning from sin once the conviction of sin is found; that is our responsibility as a response of the Spirit working in our hearts. During sanctification there must CONTINUE to be repentance of sin. This once again defines the true saint; God chastises every one He loves. It is the LIFESTYLE of sin which must change; we all have struggles with sin as believers. Again; to be a true Christian we desire the Holiness of God and hence to live it out ourselves; and we are crucified with Christ; just delayed in the full fruition of it with our old bodies and desires. That is the issue for the unregenerate; they often follow Christ as though He is a "good teacher"; and His moral behaviors externally for social favor; status or their own pride.

    Those in darkness hate the light; we all start off fearful of God and enemies of Him as well. Thos who truly know Christ now will fall on the "Rock" and those who don't will be crushed by it someday; much like the analogy of all the Kingdoms being crushed once Christ returns in Daniel (again; sorry not to have the cross references at present).

    The sign of the times; of course is that so many deny basic doctrinal tenets; and in particular a literal hell. There are warnings for those who feel comfortable because God doesn't exact punishment speedily (this is due to His desiring no one to perish). In any case; whatever our doctrinal stance is on Predestination or free will (or both); God is just and a set number saved or damned.
  • Richard H Priday - In Reply on Proverbs 16:33 - 2 years ago
    This is a verse less commonly known relating to Predestination. There are verses in the N.T. on different "vessels" to fulfill God's purposes; at any rate God recieves the glory no matter what (my computer data is compromised so I am not as readily able to give these cross references). This comment brings to mind the concept of "irresistible grace". I prefer the term "effectual calling". We have the verses such as Thessalonians (again you can look up the reference) of those who don't LOVE the truth and believe "the Lie" which essentially means worship of Antichrist and rejection of Christ after the Rapture. There are very few who outwardly blaspheme the Holy Spirit such as the Pharisees who accused Christ of doing things in the power of "Beelzebub" or basically the Devil. This certainly demonstrates that they were aware there is a spirit in Christ; and none of the healings were ever criticized as to their veracity. The case of Spurgeon wo basically stated that we should bend over backwards to keep people from glibly going to their destruction in hell; or Whitfield that despite believing in Election would pray weeping for hours before preaching show that despite such knowledge of the fate of the wicked we should certainly preach fervantly (if anything not knowing who eventually will heed the call). We also need to remember that even with Judas Iscariot who was prophesied and known to Christ despite his selection for him to be a Disciple to be the "son of perdition"; Jesus dipped the sop before the betrayal; signifying that indeed he was betrayed by his friend.

    The bigger concern is those who appear to be sheep but are in reality goats. You shall "know them by their fruits" and those who are not His sheep don't seem to struggle with sin; and/or their true desires are clearly with the world. (A "form of godliness but denying the power thereof-we are told to AVOID such people). Cristian media and megachurches like to deny the wrath side of God.

    "The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." Just think. If there was no sin there would be no need for a savior! I believe that only those who respond to the Spirit of God and believe the Gospel and repent will be saved. Link

  • PROPHECY - In Reply on Proverbs 1 - 2 years ago
    Sister Amanda:

    The purpose of it all, is to bring God's creation to TRUTH.

    Creation is DECEIVED.

    Sinful flesh (man) DIED ON THE CROSS; a NEW CREATION (Christ in you) arose.

    1 Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ ....

    Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (Christ in you) that worketh both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

    Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery ....Christ IN YOU .....

    John 17:23 I in THEM, and THOU in ME, that they may be PERFECT (Christ is the only one perfect) in one .....

    Psalms 82:6 I have said, ye are gods, the children of the most high.

    Philippians 1:29 For UNTO YOU it is GIVEN in the BEHALF of Christ, not only to BELIEVE on HIM (the word), but also to suffer for his sake.

    Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature WAITETH for the MANIFESTATION of the Sons of God.

    Why is creation WAITING?

    Obadiah 1:21 And saviours (God's SONS, Christ and his brothers) shall come on mount Zion to JUDGE the mount of Esau, and the kingdom SHALL BE the LORD'S.

    Psalms 149:9 To execute upon them the JUDGEMENT written, this HONOUR hath all his saints.

    Romans 8:21 For the creature itself SHALL BE DELIVERED from the bondage of corruption (death and the grave) into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

    1 Corinthians 15:28 And when all things have been subdued unto him, then shall the son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that GOD may be ALL in ALL.

    Billions of people; dead and in the grave, are AWAITING the arrival of Christ and his brothers at the resurrection of the dead: to be brought to TRUTH.

    Proverbs 16:6 By MERCY and TRUTH iniquity is purged .....

    BELIEF will judge UNBELIEF.

    God Bless YOU, his body.

    Proverbs 16:18. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

    Ezekiel 16:48-50. As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

    Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

    And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

    Brother chris:

    and god replies at verse 14, i am that i am-i am

    the whole bible is the gospel of the king(dom) of god, the old just a shadow of the new.

    what does it mean when god says i am? i am: who are what?

    the gospel is: there is only the life of god and truth of god ...... there is only: i am.... the king(dom) in you, his body.

    man was predestinated to become the image of christ: romans 8:29

    not many believe this, because man has demeaned the gospel of the king(dom) of god.

    ephesians 4:4 ....one spirit .......

    john 14:6 ..... "i am" life ......"i am" truth ....."i am" the way .....

    revelation 3:12 ....and i will write upon him (my body) the name of my god .... i am (put your name here).

    so now truth: i am; jesus christ.

    i am; chris: the king(dom) in you.

    i am: the being of every body.

    ephesians 4:4 ....one spirit (the life of god) ....one body (man, that holds the life of god)....

    revelation 3:8 ...and has not denied my name. i am (the life of every body)

    i am; abraham, i am; isaac, i am; jacob ...i am; the life of man ...all creation is in birth pains waiting to be delivered: the new creation born again of (i am) truth.

    1 corinthians 15:28 and when all things (in the ages to come) shall be subdued unto him, then shall the son also be subject unto him who put all things under him, that god (i am) may be all ("i am" life) in all (bodies).

    genesis 3:22 ...behold man (the body of "i am") has become like us ....."i am" truth. life and the way.

    we have to eat (i am) the tree of knowledge ....it contains both evil and good.

    proverbs 16:6 by (i am) truth and (i am) mercy iniquity (deception) is purged .....

    god will be all in all: isaiah 55:11

    everyone; his children, is going to be called by his name.

    god bless you.

    Read to the end; there is forgiveness.

    1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

    Romans 12:1 Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.

    1 Corinthians 3:16 Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?

    Leviticus 19:28You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord.

    1 Kings 18:28 And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them.

    1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

    Deuteronomy 12:4 "Do not worship the LORD your God in the way these pagan peoples worship their gods."

    Leviticus 20:23 You must not live according to the customs of the nations I am going to drive out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.

    Proverbs 16:2All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

    1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

    1 Timothy 2:9In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with MODESTY and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array [minidresses, stretchy pants, thick makeup]

    You don't have to get them laser'd off. Just pray and admit you just didn't know. Repent: turn around and walk in His forgiveness and be restored.
  • Adam - In Reply - 2 years ago
    That's a good question. God gives us freewill to use. God has a will, but we don't know what it is so how would we 'stop' His will if we don't even know what it is? His already includes our will though since it's His will to give us freewill. God also has allowed humans to change His mind previously, as indicated in the Bible. So, God is powerful enough to allow Himself to change His mind.

    In my opinion He's not micromanaging us and allows things to play out. He of course wants us to choose love and do good, but loves us enough to let us choose. I equate it to a parent forcing a child to say "I love you" vs. the child wanting to say it naturally. One is much more meaningful.

    I don't believe the script is already written and don't believe in absolute predestination where we have no choices. Sometimes the assumption of lack of choice is used to justify committing evil. Proverbs 16:9 I believe God can guide us, especially when in prayer and asking for help. But in cases of guiding or directing I don't believe is the same as forcing or that you have no choice in the matter, but maybe more like bowling guiderails so we don't throw a gutter ball?

    This is just an opinion and speculation.

    GiGi, I don't think you understand:

    1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come (the day of the Lord, when man can be created in the IMAGE OF CHRIST) that judgement must began at the house of the Lord (YOU and I and all God's creation is the HOUSE OF THE LORD)....

    Hebrews 3:6 But Christ a son over his own house; whose house we are (the temple of God) ....

    Remember Christ drove the money changers out of the TEMPLE with a WHIP.

    All creation is God's temple and God is going to CLEANSE HIS TEMPLE.

    Christ was INSIDE that temple made with hands when he drove out the unsavory.

    Christ (in the form of the Holy Ghost) is still inside the TEMPLE MADE WITHOUT HANDS (CREATION), along with those that have come to truth that they also will be the exactness of Christ, in the form of the Holy Ghost) bring man into TRUTH, that you are the image of God.

    Paul, Peter, and everyone that has left their body of flesh and become one with God; and God is Spirit, are now in MEN, judging the world.

    Proverbs 16:6 By MERCY and TRUTH (God is mercy and truth, so are the saints that are judging the world

    with Christ, as ministering spirits) INIQUITY IS PURGED .....

    Psalms 104:4 Whom maketh his angels (ministering) spirits, his ministers a flame of FIRE.

  • Richard H Priday on Esther 5 - 2 years ago
    Haman was a distant relative of the Agagites; or Amalekites. God had; for whatever reason sought their destruction under Saul; and his disobedience would allow for a near extermination of all the Jews in the known world at this time.

    In this passage; we see a continuing supplication of Esther which earned the king's respect. She prepared a feast in two phases; with the second planned event to bring Haman's demise.

    Naturally, Haman was jubilant at his exaltation and honor; but he continued to hold hatred for the Jews in his heart (v. 9 and 10). His wife gave him the plan along with his friends to prepare a gallow 75 feet high (no small feat) to hang Mordecai. This would appear to "seal the deal" as it were but then there is (as Paul Harvey used to say) the rest of the story.

    Pride comes before a fall; and this house of cards was about to collapse. ( Proverbs 16:18).

    Rich, you don't pray to the Holy Spirit, but you pray THROUGH the Holy SPIRIT.

    When Christ came as sinful flesh and DIED, sinful flesh (YOU) died, and were raise (with CHRIST) a new creation.

    Philippians 2:13 For it is God (SPIRIT, LIFE and TRUTH) that WORKETH IN YOU (Christ has replaced sinful flesh (you) with himself (SPIRIT), and everything that he is, is now IN YOU) TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

    We don't know what to pray for, but Christ as the mediator between Father and Son(s) does know. So what ever you pray for is being caused by the LIFE, now in you.

    Christ is the ROOT (LIFE), we are the branches, without THE ROOT (LIFE AND TRUTH) the branches would wither and die), of ourselves WE CAN DO NOTHING.

    Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put MY SPIRIT within you, and CAUSE YOU to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements, and DO THEM.

    PJ, the blood of Christ covers all sin, but what's the one sin that has separated man for God; not believing what God says.

    The shadow is the first children of Israel. They believed that God was God, but they didn't believe what God said.

    The same is true today, the second children of Israel (Christ's children) believe God is God, but they don't believe what God says.

    They believe that God is the WORD, but they don't believe his words.

    Hebrews 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

    Hebrews 3:18 And to whom swear he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

    Hebrews 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief (that's the one sin that keeps man from being ONE WITH CHRIST).

    Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into THAT REST, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

    Hebrews 4:10 For he that hath entered into HIS REST, he also has ceased from HIS OWN WORKS, as did God from his.

    Philippians 2:13 For it is God (CHRIST IN YOU) that WORKETH in you both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

    Most haven't ceased from THEIR OWN WORKS and BELIEVED that it is the WORKS OF THE HOLY GHOST (CHRIST IN YOU)

    Psalms 12:4 Who have said, With our tongue we shall prevail, OUR LIPS ARE OUR OWN: who is Lord over us.

    They don't believe WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING.

    Dear "Felicia phillips" The devil and his companions were cast out of heaven. God has not love for those who exalted, He has created everything after all. So a place in God must also have a picture of them, at least from the beginning. That is, hatred is probably not, but Must Endure those conditions.

    I came across this link on the Web site about "race mixing": Link. The Bible does not forbid different ethnic groups to marry. God forbade and forbids the saved to marry the unsaved. Deuteronomy Chapter 7:3-4: "4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly."

    Other verses included on the page don't even pertain to ethnic groups. They pertain to sexual immorality, heterosexual marriage, an illegitimate person, The Creation, saved people's unity in God, and a saved person's identity in Jesus Christ. You also include Acts 17:26 ("one blood"), which also has nothing to do with so-called separation of so-called races.

    Your list twists scriptures to promote the lies told by Whites who that helped to justify chattel slavery, lynching of Black Americans, legalized segregation and prejudice, racism, and ethnic discrimination of Black people and persons of other ethnic groups. Also see From Indentured Servitude to Racial Slavery, PBS, and Laws that banned mixed marriages (May 2010), Ferris State University; You Tube video, One Race - Ken Ham Video Teaching January 19, 2022 - Ken Ham also explains the connection between evolution and racism and the curse of Canaan (not Ham); and Answers in Genesis book, One Race One Blood. You can also read the chapters online free.

    It is a great disappointment to see that once again, people are using the Bible to justify the sins of pride and hatred. Which ethnic group or groups are superior to all other ethnic groups? According to Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23 no ethnic group is superior. This list is against God's holy word and comes from the flesh and Satan. We need to read the Word of God in context and not use God's Word to justify the sins of pride, variance, and hatred ( Galatians 5:19-20 and Proverbs 16:5). 1 John 2:16; 1 Corinthians 7:39.

    Hello all,

    I was just thinking about how much the Bible has influenced society and culture. Many phrases from movies, songs, people, places, and expressions originate from the Bible. So, I thought I'd list the ones I know of.

    "Writing on the wall" from Daniel 5:5. I've heard this in many song lyrics, like Sam Smith, Ted Nugent

    Lick (or bite) the dust?, Psalms 72:9. Queen?

    These phrases I've heard various places in songs and TV, but can't think of where currently:

    Skin of my teeth, Job 19:20.

    Love of money is root of evil. 1 Timothy 6:10

    Pride before a fall? Proverbs 16:18

    A time for... Ecclesiastes 3. The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn!

    Can anyone think of more?

    Sister Lise, may God grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    The words of God are WRITTEN to his church, we individually are the church.

    Now if the CHURCH is not going to be here when the beast and anti-christ are here, why would God have need of putting that in his word.

    Revelation says which is, which was, and which is to come.

    And no man could buy or sell, save he had the mark of the beast. Has not man been buying and selling since the world begin, man IS buying and selling, WAS buying and selling and SHALL BE buying and selling.

    From the beginning God made vessel of honour, that God CHOSE, to fulfill his PURPOSE, but he also made vessels of dishonour, that he CHOSE, to fulfill his PURPOSE.

    Abel was Chosen to be a vessel of honour, Cain was Chosen to be a vessel of dishonour.

    Genesis 4:15...and set a MARK upon Cain (a beast, a vessel of dishonour)....

    A BEAST has no KNOWLEDGE of GOD, we all start as THE BEAST.

    Proverbs 9:1-2 WISDOM ....hath killed her BEAST.....

    ANTI means against, opposed or not in agreement with: we all start out as ANTI christ.

    Proverbs 16:6 By truth and mercy iniquity is purged (destroyed), and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

    By studying God's Word THE BEAST and THE ANTI CHRIST (no knowledge and wisdom of God within you) is destroyed and replaced by LIFE and TRUTH ( Colossians 1:27), being BORN AGAIN by the word of God. ( 1 Peter 1:23).

    God Bless You.

    Sister GiGi, you are right, one belief is wrong and one belief is right.

    I am well aware that the vast majority of Christian believe the very God that tells them they have to love their enemies is going to do the opposite of what he tells his children to do, and send them to HELL. I am in the minority that believes God also loves his enemies.

    Matthew 5:43-44

    Psalms 94:10

    Proverbs 16:6
