Bible Thread

Respectfully, I'm going to ask that we keep this thread on topic. I'd ask the same thing if someone posed a biblical question or topic in another thread. We've done a pretty good job of keeping this thread on track and I'd like to keep it that way.

Ecclesiastes 1:17
New King James Version
17 And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.

Your right, I’m sorry. I’ll start another thread.
 
A good friend brought up a topic near and dear to my heart...sex. Here is a little something from scripture:

1 Corinthians 7:3-5
New King James Version

3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
 
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2:20

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
—Romans 8:26
 
I have started attending a men’s group every Thursday morning and I’m going to start sharing the message for you guys just to try and revive this thread. There’s so much negativity out there and I’d love to be able to offer you guys positivity through the Word of God and hopefully make a impact on your day. Have a blessed day everyone!

Today’s message was about your personal identity, meaning what you identify yourself and relate with, and what that looks like as a Christian.

Ephesians 2:1-5
2 1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)

So, with this passage we’re looking at what Paul has to say about us as mankind. He gives us some hard truths here, the first of which is that we are “dead” in our sinful nature. All of us are broken and imperfect, consumed with a hole that we try to fill with everything of this world: women, money, materialistic possessions. We have been separated by God by sin, and we cannot fill the God-sized hole.
But the second truth here is that even with all of our flaws, our sins, God still loved us without us having to earn that love, and gave us a way to come back to His grace through Jesus Christ and the Crucifixion.

This is our identity as Christians. That we are imperfect sinners, but we have a Heavenly Father that loves us with such intensity that he saved us even before we knew what we needed to be saved from.
 
Logged in to Sacred Space this morning and this was todays practicing the presence of God. Time is short.

Presence

Lord, you are always there
waiting for me.
May I never be too busy to
find time to spend in your presence.

Freedom

Lord, guide me always
to do your holy will
knowing that your strength
will carry me through.

Consciousness

How do I find myself today?
Where am I with God? With others?
Do I have something to be grateful for? Then I give thanks.
Is there something I am sorry for? Then I ask forgiveness.

The Word of God

Matthew 24:42-51
Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.
'Who then is the faithful and wise slave, whom his master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves their allowance of food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his master will find at work when he arrives. Truly I tell you, he will put that one in charge of all his possessions. But if that wicked slave says to himself, "My master is delayed", and he begins to beat his fellow-slaves, and eats and drinks with drunkards, the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour that he does not know. He will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Conversation

How has God's Word moved me?
Has it left me cold?
Has it consoled me or moved me to act in a new way?
I imagine Jesus standing or sitting beside me,
I turn and share my feelings with him.

Conclusion

I thank God for these few moments we have spent alone together and for any insights I may have been given concerning the text.

A friend of mine who is big into religion and theology

She says that the Afghanistan debacle is intentional on Bidens end (I agree to this)

She states that it fulfills Biblical prophecy in Revelation and that The Taliban via Afghanistan was armed to the teeth intentionally so that the Islamic State along with various Nations will attack Israel.

I don't know if this is accurate. Thoughts?

I think we've discussed this lightly before...but...there is a definite viable argument for a muslim vs christianity (and israel) apocalypse. The taliban would be a very small part in that though. In my opinion. Yes, we left a lot of equipment over there, but not nearly enough to take on israel. Their best bet in using it would be to pose as legit US personnel and use it for infiltration. Anything else and they would get swatted like flies. I don't think they would have enough "trojan horses" to accomplish much. Israel is used to dealing with these militant goat herders and does not use kid gloves. They would break out the big guns first and ask questions later.

It just starts with them, now chyna, iran, russia and turkey get involved as Iran has now weapons grade plutonium GREAT SCOTT!! And turkey has a signed on with Afghanistan to run all their airports for the taliban....

He sold his soul to them long ago, thats where him and his son got all those payments...

So now Israel 8s surrounded as it is written and the war can commence from all angles...

Israel used to be an absolute powerhouse militarily but its dropping fast. They were ranked 8th in the world just a few years ago and now its like 20th. They also had a leader installed that is weakening them (fake election like us). Additionally they have limited resources for a ground war. They will be overrun easily short of divine intervention. They wont deploy a nuke on their own border.

I think afghanistan is still a ways from doing anything outside of their own country (at least anything major). Panjshir is still holding out, and I suspect other places will as well. They will be infighting for a long time (I know, that's nothing new). They've had the US and Russia, and now they are about to have china. Russia is still a bit of a wild card in my mind. They could very easily end up on either side when the apocalypse comes. If they (russia) team up with China, china will not make the same "mistake" the US made at the end of ww2...they will not make them "allies". China wants to be the undisputed champ. And they will not want a cold war like we had. They would let russia do some heavy lifting and deplete their resources and then strike. Russia would rather deal with a weak US than a strong China. "The devil you know."

I 100% believe the attack on Israel will be a coalition of Countries. The ones listed in Ezekiel 38.

I just found it interesting Amir listed the middle east Countries ranked stronger than Israel. Persia (Iran) being one of them. Russia joining the coalition will be a game changer.

Yeah, but...divine intervention.

If the US quits backing them, they are cooked. But they are one of the biggest customers of the military industrial complex, so you'd think we'd keep supplying them. At least, in the grand scheme of things. I know they freaked a little bit about their missile defense system running low awhile back, but raytheon, et al will continue to make a profit. A ground invasion would suck, but you would literally have men, women, and children fighting for their country. Israel is small, but it's no pushover. Don't get me wrong, we *know* it's going to happen. I'm just laying out the pieces in my mind.
 
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
John 4:24

Nehemiah 1:11
11 Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.” I was cupbearer to the king.
 
“The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”
- Psalms 121:5-8
 
Fig Tree = Israel

Psalms 90 10
The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree
Matthew 24

(Mark 13:28–31; Luke 21:29–33)32 Now learn this lesson e from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, f right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

Read all of Matthew 24 for context.​

US reportedly evacuates three of its military bases in Syria

Sorry, I'm going off topic a little bit here but from that article:

"As per the sources, The United States forces have evacuated three of its military bases in Syria

1. near oil fields in Dayr al-zawr province

2. near Qamishli district in Hasakah province

3. in Qasrak area south of Qamishli district in Hasakah province"

I'm fairly confident this is by design. The answer is literally in the first one...."oil fields". These are always soft targets for terrorists. And "they" are still looking to drive up the price of oil. Just watch.
 
He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.

Genesis 50:20
20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
