1. what the story of cain & abel
as i heard they were once a shepherd  then one of the brother becum evil and killed the
family member  hmm.gif
2. btw unknown _ warrior
you pretty knowledgeable about it  notworthy.gif
3. Who is this great man of god  ? do they worshipped god too ? what are their roles ?
4. is hell to created by god? or the hell exist in god time & is evil part of god too?

1. They are actually the first offspring of Adam and Eve. A very interesting deposition as they actually teach us something.
Abel probably knew and understand God better than Cain. He knew what pleases the Lord gave the best fruit of his works and God favours him. Cain out of Jealousy killed him. That is the foreshadow of example about people who have deep relationship with God and people who only talk about God but did not know Him. There's a whole lot of Teaching from this Scripture alone but lets leave that for another time.

2. I believe it is the Holy Spirit of God who directs all knowledge, I am only a willing servant to be used by Him. All Glory goes back to my Lord.

3. Wow, there are so many of them and it's all recorded from OT to NT. Yes they all worshipped God and they all have great roles. Maybe in one of the next devotions I could relay some pointers.

4. The Bible refer Hell as the Lake of Eternal Fire. (Matthew 25:41) One of the Characteristic of God is Justice. Justice in simple term simply means Fairness or Balance. If there is reward the counter part would be punishment. Same thing with this world without Law everything would be chaotic. Just because there is a law sentencing criminals to death does that mean the Law is Evil? I hope that got you to think.

Here's another something. If someone has done you wrong, naturally you would want justice too.

it really depends what you meant by religion? if a religion is relationship within you and God, why must there be an organization to organize you and God?

5. what are the stories of The man who warned King Amaziah of Judah not to go to war (2 Chronicles 25:7, 9 (twice)), whom the rabbis identify as Amoz (Sifre to Deut. 342:4; Seder Olam Rabbah 20)
*
This Scripture actually spoke to me.

It means to submit everything to God without reservation and believe He is the one who is going to bring us out of our challenging situation. Do not serve God partially neither serve in ignorance. Know what please the Lord and understand His Ways. Read the word diligently and pursue it with all your heart. Believe and Do not doubt AND God will deliver you from your afflictions.


Praise and Glory be to God.


The Scripture about King Amaziah teaches us that we should completely trust in the Lord. He did not heed God's direct advise through the man of God sent to him twice. He defy and went to war and t worst brought back idols of the Edomites and burn sacrifices to them and bow down. That causes his downfall. He was confidence of his great numbers of army and perhaps his own majestic Empire but He didn't understand the sovereignty of The Lord.

It is not the organization but the true enemy of God who works harder to destroy the institution of God. Satan uses Religion to misguide people to be proud, hateful, deceitful, you get the idea.

Jesus says if you want to practise religion, THIS is the true religion

QUOTE
James 1:26

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.


Basically means to love others and not to let the system of this world to stain your thought pattern.

Relating to this

QUOTE
Romans 12:2

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will


I hope that helps.

Foreign gods is a term used to describe the believes of the people praying to deities who are not gods at all. Many times in the bible it is mentioned that Man created idols of all shapes laid in silver and gold but have no life in them.

Read the passage below.

QUOTE
2 Corinthians 4:4

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.


The god of this world refers to satan.

It's very simple to understand God, have a child like Faith. You know how little children believe? Contemplate on that.

If there's anything I can help, which part you don't understand?

1. God never meant for humans to die. We were suppose to live forever with God with the First Adam. Earth was new and the air was clean and without disease. I believe that is why the first human could live so long.

It was Sin that came through disobedience from Adam and Eve that destroyed Humanity and the same disobedience allowed the devil to have temporary dominion on earth. The Bible says the Devil came to steal, kill and destroy. (John10:10) As to what extend of destruction power the devil holds, we don't know. I only know the pattern of destruction and death came rampantly and death took it first bite.

2. No.

3. The Bible did not mentioned what happened to Adam & Eve after the died, so we don't know.

4.
QUOTE
Romans 6:9-10
For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.


QUOTE
Hebrew 7:27
Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Catholic theology believes Purgatory is a temporary place where Christian’s soul goes to after death to be punished and cleansed of the sins that had not been fully satisfied during life. That basically means man's salvation can be attain in purgatory by self effort or work and this very clearly conflicts the work of the cross where Jesus redeem us.

Romans and Hebrew scripture clearly says Jesus Sacrifice for our sins is complete, finish and once for all. All of God's Judgement and wrath fell upon Jesus consumed it into his human body, stoke after stroke after stroke of the punishment when it was done, He cried, IT IS FINISHED! (John 19:30)
Once and For ALL. Nobody need to do purgatory cleansing for any kind of Sin any more. That is God's unmerited grace for you and for me. The world's religious belief have always been salvation own self effort. Jesus says to only believe simply in his finished work because our own blood is stain with sin and our self effort not acceptable.

Jesus says I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. No ones comes to the Father but THROUGH me.

We can never atone for our own sin by our own effort because we are imperfect.

5 & 6 The Bible have never categorised 7 types of deadly sins. Sins of all types is Sin. There is no such thing as small sin or big sin. The Apostle Paul says in

QUOTE
Romans 3:23:
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Sin in any amount will distance us from God.

QUOTE
Isaiah 59: 1-2.
"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear,"  "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear."
7 & 8 Anti Christ = Satan.

2 John 1:17
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.


To put it simply, anyone or spirit who denies God the Father, Jesus Christ, His finished work at the cross is the anti Christ.

The real Christ is the One who died at the cross and rose again on the 3rd Day and is one with The Father.

Mormon and Jehovah Witness you mean?
They distorted and added things that is not in the bible.
Mormon only recognise Joseph Smith something like Nabi Muhammad to Islam
Jehovah Witness teaching is totally contradicting the Bible like there is no Hell.

These are the Anti Christ which we discussed before.

The 4 horseman are actually God's representative of his Judgement during the end times. It's in the book in revelation.

lol, actually there are 22 chapters in the book of revelations and is quite long.

yes the signs of the end times is coming but we are not in the end times yet.

How to tell?

In the end time there will be a literal persecution where if you proclaim out loud that you are a Christian you will be put to death literally.

And only the people with the mark of 666 on either their foreheads or right hand are allowed to live.

I don't know if this will come from a human ruler or an organization but when this happen, we are literally in the end times.

Night Devotion.

Why do you sometimes feel God is so far away?



QUOTE
Colossians 2:6-7

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.


You must understand that when you accept Christ, the responsibility falls on your part to seek after Him. The Scripture says "continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him" that is an aggressive and progressive state of pursuing.

Continue to live in him means, let your lifestyle be of Christ. Loving others and even loving your enemies. The Bible promise when you love others and love your enemies, God lives in you. See below.

QUOTE
John 14:23
Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.


It is not enough to just be saved and be a passive Christian.

Rooted and Built up in him means, do not let the any philosophy of this world to saturate your mindset but let the Word of God in the Bible be the dominant factor to shape your thoughts. Let it be the very basic foundation of your believes. Nothing Else.

QUOTE
Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.



Stand Firm on your Faith! And Always give thanks. Always be grateful whenever you can. Sometime you could be in a tough situation. but still Give thanks.

By following this principal, I believe you will experience God in your life.

Amen.
