Well friend,\nI am a christian.\nAnd this is what that verse means to me.\n\nThe main problem with christians is that they always like to read such verses from a worldy perspective ignoring the spiritual aspect of it.\n\nLook at the begining it mentions of future and hope. Thats what we should be aiming for NOT earthly fortunes or satisfactions.\n\nSeeking the Lord comes with calling upon our Lord as well as praying to Him NOT just sitting around and trying to "argue" out things in your mind. Honesty is important here.\n\nNow consider, the phrase...\n"will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile."\n\nSome people like to take the that and say, Hey, God will bless me!!\nIt is true but does it mention necessarily EARTHLY blessings? No. I believe its more spiritual blessings that you will inherit one day in the afterlife. For the spiritual blessings are eternal as opposed to the temporary blessings on earth.\n\nWell, dont seek after earthly things as others do, these are all vanity.\n\nAs for me,\n"Jesus is enough"\nNothing else I want.\n\nRegards

God's Sovereignty means that my day unfolds exactly as God has ordained it.  Trials, suffering and joy are all included in that.\n\nSatan can't touch me....unless God allows him to.\n\nI'm invincible until God calls me home.\n\nGod has ordained where I live, the time in which I live on this earth,  and the boundaries of my nation.\nActs 17:26 (NKJV)  \n    And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, \n\nHe has a set number of days for me..Job 14:5 (NKJV)  \n    Since his days are determined,\n    The number of his months is with You;\n    You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass. \n\nHe has chosen me to be one of His sheep.  He revealed himself to me...and I choose him.\nRomans 8:29-30 (NKJV)  \n    For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. [30] Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

This website is just someones personal interpretation of the verses in the Bible.  Read the bible for yourself and then ask God  himself for any needed explanation. He just might answer you !\n\nGood luck with your spiritual journey!

Just like it says in the Bible. God chose the words that, through the Holy Spirit, men were inspired to write and God meant every single one of them to be there.\n\nIt is how God intended that we should understand everthing that He intends for us to know, nothing more, nothing less. Accept it all for what it is, the Word of God.

Ah ...the soft-shoe routine you can get from people who believe in the "inerrant" Bible - when a text clearly states something so awful that it must be re-re-reinterpreted.\n\nSo .. a word from our sponsor:\nIsiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things."\n\nAnd now let's hear the various (laughable) renditions of what "evil" means "in this context," or "the actual Hebrew means something totally different." - obviously it couldn't just mean "evil," .... could it? \n\nThere is no one answer to your question. Current theology, in a vain attempt at sidestepping the mystical trend that produced the citation above, holds that God did NOT do what He says He did, or that it's a "mystery to be revealed in the end to us all."

Not sure the scriptures say anything about this. If someone tells you that they can, ask them where in the bible it talks about it. Have them verify it and explain it to ya. Don't just take someone's word for it.

Most often, the context of a verse will reveal wha it means.  That means we have to look at the verse in context of the verses around it, not just isolate the verse itself and then try to understand it.\n\n19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. \n 20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. \n 21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. \n 22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. \n 23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. \n 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. \n 25The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. \n 26Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. \n\nUntil this time. people use to go to a select spot to worship God much as today many think we have to go to a church to worship Him.  In truth. we can and are to worship GOD anyplace and anytime.  Worship is an attitude which we can do anywhere.  When we see a sunset, we can worship by thanking GOD for not only the sunset, but the ability to see and enjoy it.    We worship in truth in that we reconize this sunset did not just happen...that GOD in fact created it.\n\nThe greatest act of worship is to accept GOD's payment for our sin.  See the link below to see if you have done this.

<*> Scripture that all our acts and words will be public at the final judgment.\nI try to live with respect for others but have to admit I've had thoughts , said and done things even since i came to know the Lord I am not proud of.

The scripture of truth is sealed to the time of the end (Dan.12:4, Dan.12:9 below).\n\n\nDan.12:4  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.\n\nDan.12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end (Dan.12:4 above).\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa)

Hello sweet little child..\n\nI will quote some scriptures for you...\n\nColossians 3 \n\n1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. \n \n2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.\n \n3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.\n \n4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.\n====================================================\nRevelation 5 \n\nThe Unopened Book and the Lamb\n \n1  And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back side, sealed with seven seals.\n\n6  ¶ And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.\n \n7  And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.\n====================================================\nPsalms 44 \n\n1  We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, \nin the times of old. \n \n2  How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. \n \n3  For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto them.\n====================================================\n2 Corinthians 6\n\n6  by pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,\n \n7  by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left.\n====================================================\nPsalms 108\n\n5  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; \n \n6  that thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. \n====================================================\nActs 7\n\nThe Stoning of Stephen\n \n54  ¶ When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.\n \n55  But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,\n \n56  and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.\n====================================================\nHebrews 12\n\n2  looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.\n====================================================\nHebrews 11\n\n11  ¶ And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:  \n \n12  but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;\n====================================================\nRomans 8\n\n34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.\n====================================================\n1 Peter \n\n21  The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:\n \n22  who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.\n====================================================\n1 Kings 22\n\n18  And the king of Israel said unto Jehosh'aphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?\n \n19  And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the

You may not even be aware of the right question.. but your answer awaits you, in God's word.

Actually the only one I can understand (surprisingly) is the King James' Version.  I cannot understand the NIV, or similar versions period.  I feel like it takes away from the authenticity of it.  Perhaps it's because I was raised reading hte KJV, but in comparing it to the other versions I've read, I much perfer that interpretation of the words.

Hmm you bring up an intresting point.. But I would need to search it out my self.. in scripture..  So to answer your question I would say I am not too sure that is true...

How long have you got?\n\nNo books of the bible were written in christs lifetime.  Even the fundys know that.\n\nAnd why do ppl believe it?  A mystery to me.  Because their parents taught them to is my best guess
