Good now i know.
What you need is this:
Receive the lord Jesus Christ into your life today, confess him as your Lord and be saved.

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
You just hit the nail on the head . Because anyone who is truly saved will be able to say it without shame . It’s part of the christian doctrine to confess our identification with christ except the individual is not.

Matthew 10:32
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

If you read my first post carefully especially the SCRIPTURES cited, you will understand that the 144,000 persons are bought from every tribe, people and nation of the earth. First in Revelation 14: 3, It identified this 144,000 persons as BOUGHT FROM THE EARTH, then Revelation 5:9,10 specifies that they were bought with the blood of Christ FROM EVERY TRIBE, TONGUES, PEOPLES AND NATIONS and will serve to RULE OVER THE EARTH. So they are certainly not Jewish evangelists.
They are from the tribes of israel. if the bible says otherwise you may quote scripture out

Glad you asked.
I'm a believer in the lord Jesus Christ and I've accepted Jesus as my lord and savior. The purpose of my existence here on earth is to proclaim Christ and I've submitted myself as a tool for kingdom advancement, that through me men may receive Jesus Christ and be saved.
In summary Jesus Christ is lord over my life

Now that I've answered your question, my question to you is who are you? What is your stand in Christ?
whoever this somebody is i love you

Donnie Mcclurkin , the award winning Gospel music legend, who is also the pastor of Perfecting Faith Church has written to disagree with Donald Trump on reopening church.
Recall that President Donald Trump earlier declared the services of church and mosques an essential one and therefore ordered for the reopening church services.

Nations are humbling themselves to God .Donald trump has declared places of worship as essential in U.S . He said governors declares liquor stores as essential. But left places of worship out. "Peolple want to go to church " declared places of worship as essential and if any governor refuse I will override his authority.

They are the people who dominate sub-saharan Africa. That is West Central and Southern Africa. The BANTUS...the same people who were taken into slavery on ships to the Americas and scattered around the world.
I believe from personal studies that certain black people are jews and certain tribes in Africa are traced to Israel even by DNA. But to say the entire Jewish nation was black holds no ground with me

chucks185:
why wasn't the message in the book of revelation easy to comprehend? why was it largely written in a symbolic form? like seven horns, four lion-like animals and all that. i don't get it, i'm tired of different versions of interpretation by different christian organizations. i hope the bible is not complicated.
you cant understand revelation fully except you combine it with other references. from Daniel,joel, matthew,luke, thessalonians, 1peter ,jude and other relevant books

For that reason you need a good reference bible and commentary. other morder translations are helpful too, but if you must use just one bible i will reccomend Dakes bible , it has references and commentary

(1)The disciples had existing business Sir so they're the ones taking care of their own families, that's why Peter had to return to his business each time his business needs his attention! Luke 5:1-12
grin grin grin grin

Really? What do you say about the following scriptures then


Matthew 4:19-20
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

Luke 5:27-28
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi . .and he said unto him, Follow me. And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

Luke 18:28
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.


(2)As fishermen his followers can easily board a boat to move from one place to another without charge, and don't forget that as owners of their own business many of their workers became Christians so you can imagine who will charge Jesus to move anywhere within the territories when almost half of his closest confidants were big time transporters! Even when he needed a donkey he sent his Apostles to go and meet a disciple that none of them knew! Matthew 21:1-3; Mark 11:1-6; Luke 28:19-23
Pure assumptions

(3) Jesus' clothing wasn't that so different from that of his followers and since he has no wife nor child his friends can easily take care of that!
So Jesus friends gave him clothes

Judas Iscariot had love for money so Jesus made him their treasurer, the gifts they had was due to the law God gave the Israelites regarding how to treat strangers, so everywhere they go as preachers people give them gifts. But outsider the boarders of Israel things won't be the same!
smiley

Kindly show the us the law of this strangers you kept mentioning

That's why Paul who had to preach in lands where people living there don't have the same divine laws lacked so many things that Jesus and his followers who walked in Israel had in abundance! 2Corinthians 11:27 smiley

God bless you! smiley
I didn’t really get the point you are making here

There are many who came to him according to the stories written in the Bible, majority do come for help but there was no record where Jesus brought out a dime from his pocket!
There was no record of people asking him for money either .

Even when he needed to teach them a lesson on paying of tax Jesus borrowed the coin he used! Matthew 22:18-20
That doesn't mean he lacked money . He definitely receives monies ,remember he has Judas as his treasurer

When they charged him for temple tax Jesus asked his followers to get the coin from the mouth of a fish Matthew 17:27
It was just for that moment. I'm sure you dont carry 100k around in your pocket

So it's obvious he never had any money on him, there is no evidence he gave any poor or beggar a dime because he had no money on him to do so! smiley
How was he able to feed all his disciples and their wives and children if he hadn't money? How was he able to pay for the boats he use to travel . How about clothing .
Jesus receives money and he gives and that was why he could teach us to give too.

Regarding this sir, ie. Giving to the poor, it has been dangling in my mind for the past two weeks.

Was jesus proposing or encouraging a communist kind of system? I know, rather we know from the bible that the disciples followed this steps.
Why isnt todays christendom following this communist approach?
I don’t know if it’s proper to call it communist system . The early church share all things together but it was voluntarily . Especially during the persecution and it was difficult to move around but after the era . Paul encouraged everyone to go out and work use himself as example in many epistle

2 Thessalonians 3:7-8
For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12
when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.


The idea of giving to the poor is part of Gods kingdom right from the Old Testament . This is practice done on individual level .every church have their welfare plan . Giving out good to members is not a way of helping them but rather to empower through business and empowerment training programme which many churches do . But the poor on the street are being helped on individual level . The only other group the Bible talked about are widows . The church is to help widows but there’s qualification for it they must be from 80 years old and they must have track record of godly service . They can be staffed as intercessors . For such the church should be responsible for them.

1 Timothy 5:3-5
Honour widows that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
