    Sharon I believe you are referring to Leviticus 14 as mold was also called mildew in the Bible. Mold is a serious health issue. 37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;....

    It is accepted that there are approximately 365 Old Testament prophecies relating to Jesus Christ. Some, directly speak of His coming and death, and others allude to aspects of His Life (e.g. Zech 11:12: thirty pieces of silver). The wonderful thing is that all of Scripture speak of the Glory of God and of His Son & in spite of man's fall, God's Love is still available to mankind and will pursue him till the curtain is drawn. What a wonderful Messiah - What a wonderful & Perfect Salvation.

    Mike, to add to Kay's great comment: any crisis in one's life or in the family can get one despondent & sometimes irrational or lose control. If you have a loving family, you're blessed - many have to go it alone. If you belong to a Church Fellowship (or, at least seek to join one), the Church leader or Pastor can be of much help in counselling or directing you to others for help. When one in dire straits senses the love & support within his family & Church, the road becomes a lot easier. Peter, the apostle of Jesus, writing to some Churches in Asia (Turkey) encouraged them in 1 Pet 5:5-10, but especially with this: "Cast all your care (troubles/worries) upon God, for He careth for you"

    In the book of revelation, what happens to the two-horned beast Because I read that the false christ and the dragon, and the beast that killed the two messengers from God all three get thrown into the lake of fire, but not the two-horned beast. Who else picked up on that And the two messengers from God are the one that overcomes the ten kings by the Gospel.

    You have done the first step of reaching out! Pray pray pray for Jesus to show you how to trust Him to lead you. He gave us the 10 commandments, in Exodus 20, to guide your life. He gave His life for you. There are lots of people that are helping people through this time. Free food at churches, banks are giving temporary low interest loans, delivery jobs need fulfilled, etc. Love your family and pray with them.

    Philippians 4:13 New King James Version (NKJV)

    13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

    Praying for you.

    Sedalia, you have touched on one of my pet subjects: govts. legislating laws & judiciary performance of them. This is for me very devastating. We need to understand that our Western govts. are largely based on Judaeo-Christian beliefs & laws, & they are not Christian govts. & will legislate according to what they believe is correct for society & according to public opinion (after all they are in power because of our votes). So, they will never be perfect, nor can we expect them to be, until the coming of the Holy & Just Judge, our Saviour. With that in mind, govts. have deemed that divorce, re-marriage, gay marriage, abortion, etc. are legal. How will they stand before God in that Day

    Why do the courts justify a man leaves his living wife and marry another Being married to a second wife while the first wife still lives Why dont the courts honor what God's law says vs what man's law

    Believers do not become Sons of God until they are born again of the Spirit in the new testament.

    John 1:12 But as many as received (Jesus) him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

    Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

    1 John 3:2 Beloved, NOW now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Philippians 4:13 - 4 years ago
    answer to the Sons of God in Genesis 6 is in Job chapter 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest or who hath stretched the line upon it 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened or who laid the corner stone thereof;

    7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy ...the sons of God shouted for joy These sons of God existed at the creation of the earth and Adam and his children did not exist until 6 days later. When reading Genesis chapters 1 and 2 the creation does not say what day angels were created. So they existed b4 the earth was.

    I noticed that passage in my Bible reading and remembered several people who had inquired about hair styles. I was passing it along. I think the state of our souls tops hairstyles any day. Have a great evening.
  • Bob Hilt on Philippians 4:13 - 4 years ago
    Someone asked Jesus what was the most important commandment.
    Matthew 22:36 - Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
    Mat 22:37 - Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
    Mat 22:38 - This is the first and great commandment.

    Mat 22:39 - And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
    Mat 22:40 - On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets.
    Honoring the feasts is not a bad idea. Tabernacles in the kingdom will be kept per Zechariah 14:18
    Jesus never said believe on me and keep the law and thou shalt be saved.
  • Chris - In Reply on Philippians 4:13 - 4 years ago
    Secondly, the length of hair is not the 'long hair' we are familiar with, but when he adorns himself as a woman (of those days) did (v14). But if man (read: anyone reading Paul's passage on this issue) is contentious about what Paul has said, Paul writes that he has no other option to give nor from God's Church. (v 16). There may have been some who were under a Nazarite vow which included the non-cutting of the hair ( Numbers 6). But whether Paul was referring to any of those in the Church, or if they, after completion of their vow, failed to also trim their hair, is not certain. But what is clear from 1 Cor 11, is that there is an order in the Church - we choose to obey it or not.
  • Chris - In Reply on Philippians 4:13 - 4 years ago
    Re: Mishael on 1 Cor 11:3 >. This is 'dangerous' ground where even angels (& some preachers) fear to tread, but it is Scripture & should be examined. Poor apostle Paul has taken a beating over the years by many women over this passage, as it not only speaks of hair length, but of covering the head & the position of man and woman in creation & in God's Sight. Firstly, head covering when praying or prophesying, is not a cultural matter, but a spiritual & positional one before God & the angels (vv 3-11). We have now made it cultural, thereby largely doing away with it in our meetings.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Philippians 4:13 - 4 years ago
    I haven't a clue. Maybe it's because Paul had Gentiles, Greeks and Jews in his meetings. They argued about circumcision too. It must have been hard to turn their minds from law to grace.
  • Sheri - In Reply on Philippians 4 - 4 years ago
    I completely agree that the Holy Spirit gives us the power to do whatever God asks us to do. I was merely commenting on the word as translated.
  • Sheri - In Reply on Philippians 4:13 - 4 years ago
    In verse 16, Paul says that if you would like to argue about hair length, it is up to you as this has nothing to do with God's people. We judge by the heart, not outward appearance. I cannot imagine Jesus complaining about how long or short someone's hair is.
  • Mishael 1 Corinthians 612 1023 - In Reply on Philippians 4:13 - 4 years ago
    All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
    (10:23) ...but all things edify not.

    Now in chapter 11 quite a lot is said about women's hair and men's. Is it good or bad?
  • Barbara Parnell - In Reply on Philippians 4 - 4 years ago
    My pastor always says if I give you a verse, you take the chapter, when we read Philippians 4 especially verse 13 we also need to read verse 11 & 12. Paul speaks about having it all and living well and of having nothing and suffering yet knowing he can do all things, he can survive and continue to spread the word of Jesus no matter what the circumstances in his life because Jesus gives him the strength to do His (Jesus') work. Because Jesus is leading him and keeping him on the path through all obstacles.
  • Sheri on Philippians 4:13 - 4 years ago
    Everyone says that we can do all things. But not everything is profitable for us to do. Whenever I read this verse, I always get the sense that I can do anything that is profitable for me. Jesus will give me the strength to do those things that strengthen me. Whether strengthening of my spirit, body or soul. The word used is which, not who.
  • Vanessa on Philippians 4 - 4 years ago
    we cave into mortal ideas and then we open a door for the devil to come in, we are now seeing the evil at work but the good thing is we have a Father who loves us, and if we would humble ourselves with humility, and give thanks to Him for he works all things for the good, repent of our sins, He will hear us and answer our prayers, kneel down and pray, and if He is your Lord God Almighty, He will never leave you nor forsake you, trust in Him, He fights our battles, this is a wake up call. Our God is more powerful then he who is in the world, no evil can remove Him who dwells in us, He walks with us. Fear not for He overcame the world and so shall we. He gave us His peace, believe have faith
  • Adam - In Reply on Philippians 4 - 4 years ago
    This story has been circulating for decades and I heard it is false- that it was invented by rich people so they feel better about being wealthy and entering heaven. Only God is the judge. It clearly says loving money is the sin- probably the sin of idolatry.
  • Mickey - In Reply on Philippians 4 - 4 years ago
    Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, Luke 18:25 are the scriptures about the eye of a needle. In ancient times the big doors of a city was locked at night. People parked their camels outside and entered the city through a small door; known as the eye of a needle
    Jesus was saying it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. I guess love of money is a problem.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Philippians 4 - 4 years ago
    Matthew 19:24 And again I (Jesus) 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. Mark 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
    Mark 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
  • Mickey - In Reply on Philippians 4 - 4 years ago
    You can find the "Eye Of A Needle" scripture in these books: Matthew 19:24, Mark 10-25 and Luke 18:25.
    Read down to them because the incident begins before Jesus says the verse.
  • Gordie on Philippians 4 - 4 years ago
    does the bible say, it will be as hard for a rich man to get to heaven as it is for a camel to get through the eye of a needle
