Part 3

-Therefore, Jesus Christ the son of God could not be born to the Hindus for they worship Idols neither to the Romans and the greeks even unto the Africans and the Australian aboriginals or any other tribe or nation of the world for all had a form of Ido worshiping including the Brittanica tribes

For there is one God who is living and there is none like Him from the heavens and to the earth as it is written in

Deuteronomy 32:39

See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: Neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

-God created from Abraham a new nation and guided them with the law and setting them apart and district from all the tribes of the world and from Abraham's children we have the 12 son of Jacob who later multiply and becomes a Great nation and still unique and not integrating with the rest of the world and even after their exile in 70Ad by the romans. who changed their lands name from isreal to Palestine they still remained a unique nation. While they were scattered across the world and Europe and by the fulfilment of God's word written in the Book of Jeremiah the prophet, the nation of Israel was reborn back into exitance in 1948.

-Therefore, Jesus Christ the son of the living God was born form the Jews and died on the cross in Israel and rose and acceded in Heaven still a Jew and He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah and forevermore Amen salvation is from the Jews. anyone who is not a Jew is called a Gentile.

it is written in John 4:22

22.Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

I pray that God will touch your heart for understand Amen

it is written in Acts 2:38

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost

duncan's comment on 2023-06-07 22:43:03:

Part 2

-So God called Abraham and when he listened and Obeyed the voice of God then God promised Him to make him a great nation. A people for Himself and thus the beginning of the nation of isreal.

as it is written in Geniss 12:1-3

1Now the Lord had said to Abram:" Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house to a land that I will show you.

2 I will make you a great nation;I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you,And I will curse him who curses you;And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

-It is important to note that In-oder that Jesus Christ the Son of the living God to came into the world He would need to be pure form sins and not a worshiper of idols like the nations that ware in those err of Abraham and an Example Egypt. For Jesus Christ is God and when He was born, He had to obey his parent and if He was disobedient to his parents then we would not be free from sins hence the sacrifice Offred at the cross would be invalid for attornment of sin. Remember it is written in.

2 Corinthians 5:21

21.For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Please read part 3

Chapter 7, who made the Gentiles , and why was the word not with them until after Christ's ?, who did God recognized them as ?

Rev. Tim George's comment on 2022-03-19 12:26:08:

The apostle Peter gave the answer to this question about the Gentiles being circumcised, in that God would not have us to put a yoke upon the Gentiles, that neither the disciples, nor our fathers could keep. We are all saved, Jews and Gentiles by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by grace, not of works lest any man should boast. Paul said all boasting must be in the Cross of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. About celebrations every man must be fully persuaded in his own mind not to set a stumbling block before our brothers and sisters in Christ. Let us be at peace with all men and follow holiness, for without holiness no man will see the Lord. So all of our righteousness is imputed by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His holiness is imputed to our account by faith

Bro Barney's comment on 2021-04-21 12:48:01:

Daniel,

God commanded that certain celebrations be observed by the Jews each year. These were performed to remind them of certain events in their history. Each event celebrated something that God had done for them.

As God does not speak against celebrating birthdays and Christmas, I find no reason not to celebrate them in the context that God gave a person physical life when they were born and then God came to earth to give them spiritual life through Jesus Christ.

God bless

Daniel's comment on 2021-04-20 13:27:23:

Is celebrating birthdays or Christmas

unBiblical or worldy celebrations?

stanjett's comment on 2020-09-19 22:30:09:

Nothing wrong with that. Some may think its wrong. But a cross is not an idol unless you worship it which Im sure you don't.

Alex's comment on 2020-09-07 05:24:27:

Comments by Alex about the trinity, Abraham issac and jacob were symbolic of the Godhead th trinity,Without this abrahamic trinity there wd have been no nation of Israel that became as the sands of the seas. God Almighty swore by himself when he said that Christ wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven Thats y the sower will go forth to sow his precious seed in humanity which is the very seed of God to whom the word came that good seed it made them Gods plural. That was the great PROMISE that christ wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven thus an Israel of God.Thats y jesus refers to the H.G. as the Promise he is the multiplication of God in humanity. The gift of God via that good seed the word, Just as there was a natural israel via the seed of Isaac there is gonna be an Israel of God via the seed of Christ, its God himself that wants a posterity thats y jesus is saying to whom the WORD came his seed it made them Gods plural th Gransons th Israel OF GOD, THEY DONT CALL HIM THE BRIDEGROOM FOR NOTHIN, HIS SEED IS GONA RESULT IN AN ISRAEL OF GOD,Thats y God told Moses that his name was abraham issac and jacob, that is my name forever and my memeorial to ALL GENERATIONS IMPLING AN ISRAEL OF GOD THAT IS GONNABE BORN IN US. Our new birth. But my point is Jesus cd not refer to the H.G as the Promise if he were not the very multiplcation of Christ/God th Gransons that are gonna be as the stars of heaven .They are gonna be born in us simply b/c that GOOD seed is sown in us sinners, THATS Y JESUS IS saying whosoever receiveth one such child in my name receiveth ME which is the H.G.IMMANUEL GOD with US. The trinity is very simply FATHER, SON AND GRANSON A 5 YR OLD can understand this. Even the Davidic kingdom was a Father Son and Granson relationship, God wd not let David the son build the temple, only Solomon the granson cd build the temple a metaphor that only the H.G. the granson can build the temple in our hearts a greater then Solomon in here ( that last day). The H.G..

THE GODHEAD SCRIPTURES's comment on 2020-09-06 15:18:40:

The Godhead Scriptures

Acts 17

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the GODHEAD is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

THE GODHEAD SCRIPTURES

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

1 John 5:7.

John 10:30, I and My Father are one.

My favorite is Malachi 3:16-17. God listens when we talk together abut Him.

Also, in these following scriptures , we clearly see the Godhead (Acts 17:27-30) speaking to each other.

NOTE: In the King James Bible, the words , TRINITY and TRIUNE,

ARE NOT used!!! Someone who was unable to teach LET US as a lesson, used these other words to describe, Three.

If you had used the Search Box provided on this website you would have seen it come up with NOTHING for triune and Trinity. No further comment is needed.

AntiChrist Scriptures

1 John 2:18

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 John 2:22

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:3

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

2 John 1:7

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a Deceiver and an antichrist.

Gabriel and Michael in the Book of Daniel's comment on 2020-09-05 02:14:33:

Just reread, starting in chapter 9. It was Gabriel that touched Daniel. Michael had to come fight the demon Prince over that area, so Gabriel could get through.

Ephesians 6 describes princes and principalities over different areas.

Mishael

Hesed John Bharath R's comment on 2020-09-04 20:46:12:

I think that the Heavenly Being who touched Daniel is an Angel of GOD or maybe a special Being of the Creation(which is not mentioned exactly in the Bible) appointed by GOD because we can see that the word Man of GOD is written in the BIBLE 78 times. We do not know if GOD appointed a special person or persons to carry his messages other than the Angels. We can clearly see that after this incident(v 12),Michael(ANGEL OF GOD) came to Daniel. So we can make out that the person who touched Daniel was not Michael. So what we can guess is that the Heavenly Being who touched Daniel maybe be an Angel(other than Michael) or a Special Being who was created in the Creation but not mentioned in the Bible. We should just wait until the Second Coming of CHRIST to find out!!

I am's comment on 2020-09-04 18:06:47:

In Daniel chapter 10, who is the person are angel touching Daniel.

Mishael's comment on 2020-09-03 03:57:53:

I have a cross in my car to remind me that Jesus paid my sin debt, and to remind me to drive Born again.

john J caron's comment on 2020-09-03 00:04:18:

No why would it be your not worshiping the cross its a symbol ,that Jesus died on

Christian Emblems's comment on 2020-09-02 20:44:29:

Elaine, crosses on car mirrors do not bother me.

Seeing a gigantic SUV with a fish symbol on the back bumper; going 80 mph in a 50mph speed zone, Race by me, UPSETS ME !! I pray for a cop to be at the next corner.

I'm not being in a mean spirit when I say, if we are born again, blood washed believers, we ought to represent Jesus as law abiding citizens too. If we're going to be law breakers, DO take off the crosses and fish magnets. Amen.

Chris's comment on 2020-09-02 19:30:01:

I don't believe it would be considered idolatry to have a cross hanging there or even in a house.

I think what's important is the reason for having it there. For some, it may be a visual reminder of the Saviour & the empty cross (as opposed to those who prefer a crucifix, showing the un-resurrected, un-ascended Saviour), or it may be just a sacred symbol to show others that the Cross is central to the occupants' lives, or maybe to afford protection to those in proximity to it. If it is a crucifix (where worship could be directed to it) or to assure safety from harm, then I believe that these reasons could be considered as hallmarks of idolatry.

Personally, I refrain from any symbol, image or anything else that attempts to describe the Deity. I think a meaningful Scripture as wall hanging would do more for me & those visiting my home. However, the decision is yours & you might get some input from others here. God bless.

Elaine's comment on 2020-09-02 17:38:12:

Is it idolatry to have a wooden cross hanging on your rear view mirror?

Eva's comment on 2015-09-23 07:20:07:

But we write unto them that they abstain from pollution of idols nowadays time money would be the idol and from fornication while people fornicate now more than ever they don't want to get married and from things strangled and from blood the Lord allows us to eat meat but if it strangled then the blood stays in and blood is life and that must be poured out because God shed his blood for us
