Proverbs Chapter 2 Discussion Page 4

The answer to receive these blessings (v.5-12)understanding, knowledge of God, wisdom, guidance along our way) is found through His Gift - to receive(1), listen to His Words (2), apply our heart to understanding, seek diligently, He always blesses us.

Prince, There will be more than; 144,000 v.9 in heaven with Christ that receive the mark of God on their forehead. But then in V.14 tells of the great multitude that no man can number will also be saved but will have to endure the tribulation.

"For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it". (reason please!)-the righteous will remain in the land but the wicked will be uprooted. only the 144000 sanctified sheep will rule with christ in heaven-compare Luke22:28-30, Psalm37:29,Isaiah35:5-10

We should always ask for Gods understanding , we must run , stray away form evil and all evil doers if we make friends we such people , we will take to their evil habits this is a warning from our God . All sin will lead to death . The Lord will always give knowledge and understanding just for asking him , we do never want to leave him as he has promised to never leave him .

God provides the word to guide us through life's journey, and the word is where we find good counsel to manage the life he has given us. There will be difficult times because there are wicked people. If we focus on God our eyes will be opened and we are better able to see the difference between good and evil, and stay away from evil when it presents itself.

responds to Linette; my interpretation of "strange woman" would simply mean a woman who stands "outside" of the LORD's grace and commandments, specifically to a licentious or adulterous one. I take the chapter to mean that the wisdom given in scripture is meant to guide you away from such people - men and/or women - and guide you to the LORD, how's that sound to you?

Trying to understand the death the wicked ways. About the strange woman what does this mean. Just tell me what chapter really means.

I believe all that it says. We have to do what it says if we are to come into the blessing og God. The inner voice we hear is the Holy Sprit the voice of God telling us when something is wrong, If we will listen it will lead us in a different path one toward the holiest of what God has planned for us

Proverbs chapter 2 was good.

I like Joyce Spivey 's comment above or below depending in which direction the thread goes. She represents the thoughts my mind and the actions that accompany those thoughts. I believe all so-so Christians should follow suit.

O that we would learn these truths and apply in our youth to avoid the pitfalls and sorrows that accompany wickedness.

It .s good to give. Agiver nevwr lack

If we stay with God he will stay with u

As a Christian, Proverbs will help you live your life with success if we truly depend on our heavenly father help. Philippines 4 13

Amen to Gene 's comments I agree on this chapter and thats the truth.

God can protect us from the devil that intends to ruin, kill and destroy our life. So let 's ask Him for deliverance.

nice page i like it very much

blessful

What I understand is that if we want to be. lead my God he will lead us and help us with what we need help with .it is up to each person to work out their own soul salvation u got To want God and what he has for U.

To fear the Lord is to hate sin,sometimes we have to reap the consequences of sins destruction to really hate sin, its not pleasant but necessary

I like the comment that Genes said. Conscience, Common sense really sums it up. I have been a Christian most of my life. I just didn 't digest God words and now i 'm seeking him more every day

Test your knowledge helps to remind us "the wicked " will be cut off from the earth which harmonizes with Psalms 92 7. God will again destroy those on the earth so that the perfect can stay on the earth verse 21 just like he did back in Noah 's day and like he will do again. Matt.24 36 39. Gods original purpose was for Adam and Eve to live on Earth and the punishment for sin was death. They would still be on the earth if not. The perfect shall "REMAIN in it ". God created the earth for man. "Blessed are the meek for the shall INHERIT the land ". That 's where the animals are like in the beautiful description of the wolf lying down with the lamb.

Proverbs 2 22 "But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, .... " Could this be referring to the anti environmentalist, who would rather harm the earth for profit rather than leave even there own progeny a healthy place to live?

its book of God.

I believe what God in this chapter is telling us is that we already have his word within us, and it 's called COMMON SENSE and the voice is call CONSCIENCE. When we apply common sense and listen to the voice of CONSCIENCE, we will always do the right thing. We choose not to listen use common sense, the voice of conscience will no longer speak within us. In the morning when we get out of bed, we must decide on how we would like to treated that day, and all of us want to be treated right. So we must do our very best that day, and every day to treat others the exact way that we decided that we wanted to treated. God promised his truth will grow within us each and every day that we treat others the way we want to be treated. May God help those who decided otherwise.

The chapter makes it clear that Devine wisdom comes from above and that if diligently seek it we shall find it The Lord is willing to magnify the power within us through a devine wisdom but we have to open our mind to his understanding by keeping his commandments

In the beginning of Proverbs Chapter 2 we are having our Lord God tell us of how we receive our ears to wisdom our hearts to understanding by recieving hias word and that the Lord can give us out of our mouths knowledge by keeping his commandments hidden in us then we understand and fear God keeps us from scorners and sinners The advantages of wisdom 10 22 1 9 Those who earnestly seek heavenly wisdom will never complain that they have lost their labour and the freeness of the gift does not do away the necessity of our diligence If we depend upon God and seek to him for wisdom he will enable us to keep the paths of judgment To the wicked it is all the heaven they ever shall have to the righteous it is the place of preparation for heaven And is it all one to us whether we share with the wicked in the miseries of their latter end or share those everlasting joys that shall crown believers

This gives us knowledge to understanding and wisdom that we may use the knowledge for knowing how to deliver us from the sinner and deciete in this time and world to keep the commandments of our Lord to prepare us for His coming that we me be righteous in Him and that we are of Him and in Him and He in us.

In this chapter, The Word clearly explains that the righteous and the unrighteous will live and die on earth but the righteous look at life here as a time to prepare for heaven, but the unrighteous look at their time on earth as "their heaven" because they are not looking to please The Father which is in Heaven. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. If you want to go to hell you just can live any old way.
