S Steven let me remind you of Luke 4 : 24...And 2 nd COR 3 : 6....Which teaches us we cannot worship God in the literal with our carnal minds etc ...The letter is a killer, we must worship God in the Spirit as the Spirt is life that new Covenant.
.....God is spirit and them that worship him must worship him in SPIRIT and truth for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
.....He does not seek carnally minded ppl to worship him...Remember when he was in Jerusalem on the feast day many believed in his name when they saw the miracles he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them b/c he knew ALL men and needed not that any should testify of man....Which is mans Adamic nature his Carnal mind etc...mans literal understanding of the Scripture.....He has made us unto our God able ministers of the New COVENANT. Not of the letter ( the literal )..The letter is a killer but the spirit giveth life.
.....In the O.T. it was literal Moses's face was glorious...As the law was the written word...But the O.Covenant was done away with as far as the law....The law was replaced with a New Covenant that is by the blood of the lamb.....John the bap. was of the tribe of Levi but he was preaching behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world....Not the blood of bulls and goats etc....The O.C...Now the living word is written in our hearts which is in the Spirit, the in Dwelling of the H.G. via the his good seed the living word....
You can never go wrong doing what Solomon did here, what he as a leader asked God for. He prayed this before the Ark of the Covenant. He got an answer right away. He prayed for what he needed (not wanted).
1 Chronicles
8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
Why God has Love for Everyone Who Asks of Him - In Reply on Proverbs 1 - 1 year ago
All races and colors came from the soil God used to make Adam. So what was in your soil, was passed from generation to generation; based upon the colors that married into your unique bloodline.
In the past decades, the restrictions people had about intermarriage with other colors and cultures was lifted.
We see today the results of that. I am an artist, and I can see the beauty in the blending of colors. I think that is how God views us. Unique and equally precious in His sight. It makes Him happy for us to accept ourselves and conquer our self-images of what we think is perfection.
The more we know about the God of the Bible, and the universe the more we understand the plan He has for all of mankind. He isn't against colors in inter-marriage. He just doesn't want believers in Him to marry the Un-believers. Your going to meet lots of people who no one never told them about God.
You have to decide who you are inside of you, and do you want Jesus to be a part of your life always.
Personally I think it is great inner strength to just say no to the ugliness that is "out there". It becomes easier if you'll hang out with people your own age, in a church near you. You might have to visit 2 or 3, until you find one you feel comfortable in. God will help you choose if you ask Him to.
You can come in here and join us in back and forth conversation any time. We're all different ages, USA and all over the world. Let your friends know about us :)
Get to know everyone. Everyone can pray with you for specific needs. We're here around the clock. I'm your basic night owl lol.
You are going to find you're loved by Jesus, and from all of the regulars in here. We're young, older, all colors; and we all love the Lord and his children. Ask anything.
S Steven I love ya but you do greatly err, Here you are talking about corruption and incorruption...Not understanding that we ALL must be bornagain of an incorruptible seed....Even by the words of God as Peter says in 1st Peter 1: 23...kjv...Didn't our lord tell us you are made CLEAN by the WORD i have spoken unto you....Which is that New Covenant that is ALL inclusive....I will KNOW them ALL from the least to the greatest ....And knowledge shall cover the earth as the waters cover the seas Isaiah 11 ...How can you not see that this New Covenant is all inclusive....I was found of them that sought me NOT and was made manifest unto them that asked not after ME. Isaiah 65 : 1 kjv....And if in this LIFE only we have hope in Christ we are of all men most miserable 1 ST Cor. 15 : 16 ...There is another life, another world after this one as Jesus tells us....In this life there are few that are saved...billions have neva heard the name of JESUS....But in the life to come...In the world to come....B/c of the Cross that new covenant everybody will be washed in the blood of the lamb....Thats y Jesus is saying the hr. is coming when ALL that are in the graves shall hear my voice and come forth to the ressurection of life or damnation....Our old adamic nature is in rank with Satan the TARES that is gonna be damned..The tares are burned but the wheat is taken to his barn...His kINGDOM.
.....Steven Jesus was Flesh and blood and he IS the Kingdom of God.
Steven if ya study the New COVENANT you will see its ALL Gods doings....They shall NO more teach their neighbors and their friends KNOW THE LORD....They shall ALL know me from the least to the greatest... Jeremiah 31 : 34 kjv...There is not gonna be a NEED for Evangelists. Teachers and Preachers etc...And no more temples made with hands...As that manchild the H.G that Child of Promise is gonna Rule ALL nations....There is gona be a new heaven and a new earth and no more seas of humanity that has not been washed in his blood.

Beloved "Larry B." in peace, no one man can stand against the Lord so much. Or shall we say, for so long. It is probably not the Jews who are destroying Jerusalem. remember that the Gentiles have trodden there for over 2000 years. The Jews love Jerusalem. They defend Jerusalem, with prayer and fasting every day, for Jerusalem. In fact, i thought about it today. What are the Jews made of since they still year after year manage and stand in everything they do, without the Holy Spirit as we have. And think about what they have experienced over the years.
Think of the injustice they have experienced. Who do you think caused it? Look at all the hatred and destruction. That ignorant people distort the word of God. It's a shame to say it, but it's needed. There are even Christians who oppose the Jews! None of them have hurt me!
Repent, dear friend, see and love the Jews because they have given us the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, which is the Living Word! Romans 1:16-17 See also that those who do not see Jesus live under the law. There we are lucky you! It is the Jews who have arranged that matter for us, in a way. And because in the eyes of God, the Jews are the cornerstones like us.
But there is nothing we can do without Jesus. So here no one should boast because everything is by grace.
I love the Jews they are a special people who are beautiful creatures before God and all people on earth.
When we talk about the Jerusalem of the earth today. It is full of confessions of all faiths and all will glorify God in their own way. It is a song of praise that is heard from the Jerusalem of the earth from every language on earth. It's an experience and see it. The Jews are not to blame for any misery. They are defenders of God and His Word, just as i am. Rather remember that where the eye stone is, so is the enemy. And there are many of them in Jerusalem! Still, but one day everything will be put in order and that is the day we are waiting for. Jeremiah 29.11 Love u in Christ
Thank you Ty , I read so many uplifting comments on here by so many different people , I wish I had the time and energy to thank everyone individually , to all of you reading this I would say : please keep your comments coming , just because you might not be getting any feed back that doesn't mean that your comments aren't appreciated and even needed by others on here , we never really know how much comfort our words are giving to others , may God continue to guide our posts to each other in His Truth and love for us all . Much love in Christ .
Yep, there will be the usual unprofitable spiritualizing to put up another smokescreen rather than admit they are in error nor repent. I have been praying for those who continue to re-iterate the same errors over and over again as if this will somehow make them true. But we know that God is not mocked. Have a good night. Off to bed.
Thank you, she was in the hospital for two weeks, so my siblings and I took turns staying with her during visiting hours. That was time given to us by God. If we had not checked on her at home, she would have died of sepsis infection. But as it went, God had her live for two more weeks for a purpose. It was such an honor to spend time with her giving her comfort care and company during her most difficult days of her life. I was able to pray with her and encourage her that Jesus is with her always. She lived to be 88 and a half, had a fairly healthy life, had all her faculties until this illness. I was very happy to let God have her but I will miss her.
Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
Who are our enemies? What does it mean to love your enemies?, what kind of love do we love them? how actions do we take to extend such love?
How does it mean to bless our enemies? What actions do we take to bless them?
Who are our persecutors? what kind of prayers do we pray for them? What kind of relations should we maintain with our prosecutors? Should we maintain distance from our prosecutors though we forgive them?
Lucifer was a covering Archangel; 4th in line to Gods throne. He coveted Gods throne, and God had him thrown to earth. His name changed to Satan and his form was that of a serpent. He's described in Isaiah 14.
I was taught Isaiah 24 is a view of pre-Adamic earth.
Scientists have discovered and agree, what happened to earth killed everything at the same time; according to carbon dating of water and land animals.
Isaiah 24:18 refers to Genesis 7:11 and Psalm 18:7 and Psalm 76:12. God dealt with the high demon princes. The flood killed every human or animal bodies, that evil spirits had overtaken. Isaiah 14
Curiously, the scientists agree that the only life (carbon date proves it) that survived, were conies. Proverbs 30:26,
Psalm 104:18. They survived in underground burrows when the dinosaurs were exterminated. Got water from plants alive underground!! That's amazing.
Scientists agree, one single event extinguished all life on earth near the same carbon date. I believe what the Bible says: God turned the earth upside down.
We serve a MIGHTY GOD! Why do we worry at all?
I dutifully watch all those archeology shows on tv media for everybody, not just me. Little conies proved it; and they are in the Bible!! Read those Bible verses.
We are going to be living with this amazing Godhead, in heaven, every single day. ( 2 Peter 3) He is going to purify earth of our lame creations like hideous skyscrapers. No orchards. landscapes of boxy single family homes :/
I want to go to work with Jesus every single day; how about you?
Get a Study Reference Bible, with the Center Columns that have the a-b-c notes that take you to additional scriptures that add more info to what you are reading.
Yes you're going to get the full picture if you are willing to dig down like a Conie.
I appreciate your comment, Ty. We're here together for each other, under the leading & direction of the Lord. Every blessing in Christ & have a special weekend & Lord's Day.
They say that flesh carries man's sinful nature. Which is true. They use this verse to validate their belief that Hell is a symbol of the refining fire and man must die and brought through that fire to enter the kingdom.
Here's the verse.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:50.
But they leave these verses out.
1 Corinthians 15:51-54. Behold, I shew you a mystery;... WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP,...BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
We know this as the rapture.
But did you notice what's missing in those being raptured? No Death! and No fire! They shall forever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
Now let's go back and look at another hole in their theology concerning Kingdom.
They say the Kingdom of God started 2000 years ago. They use this verse to make their point.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
But when preaching about Hell they use this verse. 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Expect some more spiritualizing to cover up the errors.
We are in a "siege" our selves. Regardless of which group in the city we are in, we all suffer. There seems to be no end in sight, however the right path for us to choose is in our Savior and Lord God Jesus Christ. Scripture and our own history reminds us of the grace and mercies from the Lord. Let there be no doubt in the loving hand of our God. Job 13:15 "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him." Ephesians 2:4 "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us..."
We must not despair for the promises of GOD are before us. Even the king of Israel tried to kill Elisha, blaming the prophet. The one counselor of the king doubted the Word of the LORD and paid for it with his life.
Let us "trust in the Lord and lean not onto our own understanding."
Look up for our redemption is nigh. The prayers of the saints are powerful and most needed; and our God is faithful and righteous in all His ways.
Numbers 6: 24 - 27
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
God bless all, who are in Christ and love His coming. May 27, 2022
Your post is reminiscent of the episode of "The Chosen" that I watched just last night. The final episode of Seaon 1. Such wonderful things that show has placed within me. Much encouragement and thirst for the living water of Christ. Many tears and smiles.
I haven't read much of there material, Hardly any of Alex material, once I see my name then I just read maybe the first line and that's it. I'm very familiar with him and I'm sure it's just a repeat of something I've already heard from him.
But I will read and perhaps engage if he or Earl gave an answer to what I've asked several times.
"If a every sinner goes to heaven whether they believe or not why is it that they work so hard to pitch their point of view. Why is it so important to them that there message is accepted when salvation is never at stake?
We believe what we preach is vital to salvation and ones salvation is at stake pending on ones belief.
Romans 10:13-14. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? THEREFORE WE PREACH.
Secondly concerning this business of fire. Have either used this passage of scriptures? If not I wonder why.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Perhaps because it's already symbolic and very well explained! It won't serve them well in their agenda. This speaks of conditions and works being tried to a already saved person. And it's clear to them as well. In other words it's hard to compromise these well explained verses to benefit them in their theology.
Archaeologists have remains that cabin date back to the dinosaur era. They were not human. It's possible you might find more info in the Apocrypha. I haven't rad all of it, but I noticed 'giants'.
They were not in the 8 people on board of the Ark.
Maybe someone else will comment as far as Apocrypha findings. There's a LINK on the red page we first come into this website, that will take you to the Apocryphal books.
Wonderful and thought provoking question. I will offer my understanding but look forward to someone who may offer a more appropriate response.
Consider DNA. Many today are taking DNA tests to find they contain small percentages of DNA from other cultures or countries. Example: "white" person in USA contains 3% African DNA or 8% Native American. It comes as a surprise to many. What this means is that our grandfather or grandmother 10x over+ may have had a very different color of skin than we have now.
Within the first man or men of creation there must have been many "kinds" of DNA, race etc. Rather, the first man must have contained all of the traits of all of the races. Was Adam light skinned or dark skinned? Was he both? Consider dominant and recessive traits passed through the generations. Most of us are just mutts!
Food for thought.
Hopefully this helps in some manner and again I'm sure someone with more accurate knowledge can offer a better response than I provided.
Genesis 11:1-10 I believe would answer your question,
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech."
"Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
All people came through Adam and Eve. God used one of Adams ribs to make Eve. Read of this through Genesis 1:26 through to Genesis 2:20-25
Moses wrote it this way; for reasons. He wrote the first 5 Books of Genesis. During the Exodus too. He was trying to handle this all by himself, but came to a point when he appointed people to assist him with the care and problems of the exodus people, on the way to the Promised Land.
Have you ever been writing something important and people interrupt you with: the battery in my car is dead. I need help? That's what was happening to Moses.
So there are 2 places for you to read about man and woman's creation. Read those 2 scripture references. :)
And__teach it to other people.
The story of how Cain came to be killed is fascinating. You might have to look at those Geneologies in the Scriptures. Sometimes the Geneological Charts on Google is helpful.
Remember that Jesus's Bloodline was moving through Seth's BLoodline."
God spoke something to Moses, as you've noticed. He didn't write it down completely until later
Knowing this will help you understand all those scriptures that seem to skip forward, and something else is added later
Has anybody been yanking on your sleeve to drop what you're doing to help them? That's what happened to Moses.
A Weird Way of Preparing for a Lifemste. - In Reply - 1 year ago
Study nature. The males build the nests with particular elements to attract a female. Many males will court her with nest building, special decorations, fancy dancing. He wants to stand out and above the others.
She's worth the effort.
How animals choose the right mate, exceeds humans, I think. Building, furnishing, food supply, with thought to survive disasters, and with kids that will be born.
They're United in purpose at the beginning.
A Christian should not consider unbelievers as a mate for life. One or the other will try to win the other to their concept of God.
Like I tell my friends that are painfully single; not finding a superb mate in a lounge (bar); you are hunting in the wrong forest! "But all my friends are there." "I just don't want a drinker for a mate". Wrong Forest. Try a coffee bar. "I like my own coffee." Try a Christian church in your neighborhood. " I sleep on Sunday."
The objections tell me this person is not mate material, yet. Women are looking for good nest builders who have fancy footwork to dazzle them. Firm plans for the future in process.
Forget what Facebook, society magazines, and other singles tell you. Pick Gods choice for you. You're ready to read the Courtship and Happy Marriage chapter. Genesis 24.
Abraham's servant (verse 34); a type like unto the Holy Spirit. Abraham charges him to find Isaacs wife (verse 2).
This is a principal we can employ in our own search for a mate. It takes a lot of trust and willingness to follow His Leading. She may not water your camels, but she may be interested in nest building and future dreams.
To put it the simplest way I can, let's look at it like this. God created MAN. Then he fashioned man by dispersion and there came the races. Hopefully someone can go in more detail.
Thank you Chris. Your words have hit the mark in regards to my present walk and focus. Your wisdom and intuition are admirable at least. Know that you are inspiring others with truth and accuracy. I like the work the Lord is doing through you. Hope you enjoy your weekend! Always look forward to your comments on this site.
These verses from Isaiah 45, verses 1 to 7, is a discourse to Cyrus, the Persian King, revealing Who this God is, the One who will use the king as His instrument. So verse 7 comes as a further reminder to Cyrus that this God is unlike anyone else: He creates Light & He has the power to remove it (once Light from a source is removed, darkness prevails - it's the default with the absence of light) - in so doing, it can also be read, that darkness was then created.
He also can bring about peace (or, happiness, prosperity to the individual or the world) & He can choose to remove it (thereby evil will become present & rampant (as a default state), with Satan's influence upon man & the world). Again, as with the removal of light, the removal of peace results in the creation of evil (turmoil, disaster). The Lord doesn't create the evil for evil's sake (He can't do it, He is Holy), but at times, chooses to remove what withholds that peace, thereby allowing evil to be manifested, thus it being created. The Lord has the power to do all things, which the Persian gods could never do.
We know that in the beginning evil was never in the world. Satan's heart was lifted up against God & evil was born. All the evil around us comes from Satan & not from God. And evil continues to abound as God stays His Hand against its raging tide.
I am so genuinely sorry to hear of your mother. My father passed not long ago and I could not enter the hospital to see him. Unable to say goodbye or to hold his hand. Had not spoken to him in years. I pray that the Lord be with you and your family in this time of difficulty and sadness. May His light shine in this darkness and provide you with comfort, courage and strength. We are here for you and you are in my prayers.
Your response brought joy into my day. So, thank You! I'm simply amazed how God will place words or thoughts into our hearts to be shared with others. I give all the glory to our Father. I pray that your week has become more peaceful and filled with His light. Thank you genuinely for placing a smile upon my face. I too, had a rough go this week and this forum always seems to offer encouragement and refreshment. God Bless and may you enjoy your weekend full of presence from Christ!
I like John Gill's comments on this portion of that verse, Tammy:
I make peace, and create evil; peace between God and men is made by Christ, who is God over all; spiritual peace of conscience comes from God, through Christ, by the Spirit; eternal glory and happiness is of God, which saints enter into at death; peace among the saints themselves here, and with the men of the world; peace in churches, and in the world, God is the author of, even of all prosperity of every kind, which this word includes: "evil" is also from him; not the evil of sin; this is not to be found among the creatures God made; this is of men, though suffered by the Lord, and overruled by him for good: but the evil of punishment for sin, God's sore judgments, famine, pestilence, evil beasts, and the sword, or war, which latter may more especially be intended, as it is opposed to peace; this usually is the effect of sin; may be sometimes lawfully engaged in; whether on a good or bad foundation is permitted by God; moreover, all afflictions, adversities, and calamities, come under this name, and are of God; see ( Job 2:10 ) ( Amos 3:6 ) : I the Lord do all these things;

We see today the results of that. I am an artist, and I can see the beauty in the blending of colors. I think that is how God views us. Unique and equally precious in His sight. It makes Him happy for us to accept ourselves and conquer our self-images of what we think is perfection.

Curiously, the scientists agree that the only life (carbon date proves it) that survived, were conies. Proverbs 30:26,
Psalm 104:18. They survived in underground burrows when the dinosaurs were exterminated. Got water from plants alive underground!! That's amazing.
Scientists agree, one single event extinguished all life on earth near the same carbon date. I believe what the Bible says: God turned the earth upside down.
We serve a MIGHTY GOD! Why do we worry at all?
I dutifully watch all those archeology shows on tv media for everybody, not just me. Little conies proved it; and they are in the Bible!! Read those Bible verses.
We are going to be living with this amazing Godhead, in heaven, every single day. ( 2 Peter 3) He is going to purify earth of our lame creations like hideous skyscrapers. No orchards. landscapes of boxy single family homes :/
I want to go to work with Jesus every single day; how about you?

They say that flesh carries man's sinful nature. Which is true. They use this verse to validate their belief that Hell is a symbol of the refining fire and man must die and brought through that fire to enter the kingdom.
Here's the verse.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:50.
But they leave these verses out.
1 Corinthians 15:51-54. Behold, I shew you a mystery;... WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP,...BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
We know this as the rapture.
But did you notice what's missing in those being raptured? No Death! and No fire! They shall forever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
Now let's go back and look at another hole in their theology concerning Kingdom.
They say the Kingdom of God started 2000 years ago. They use this verse to make their point.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
But when preaching about Hell they use this verse. 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Expect some more spiritualizing to cover up the errors.
God bless.
We must not despair for the promises of GOD are before us. Even the king of Israel tried to kill Elisha, blaming the prophet. The one counselor of the king doubted the Word of the LORD and paid for it with his life.
Let us "trust in the Lord and lean not onto our own understanding."
Look up for our redemption is nigh. The prayers of the saints are powerful and most needed; and our God is faithful and righteous in all His ways.
Numbers 6: 24 - 27
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
God bless all, who are in Christ and love His coming. May 27, 2022
Your post is reminiscent of the episode of "The Chosen" that I watched just last night. The final episode of Seaon 1. Such wonderful things that show has placed within me. Much encouragement and thirst for the living water of Christ. Many tears and smiles.
Wonderful commentary and well stated my friend.
God Bless
I haven't read much of there material, Hardly any of Alex material, once I see my name then I just read maybe the first line and that's it. I'm very familiar with him and I'm sure it's just a repeat of something I've already heard from him.
But I will read and perhaps engage if he or Earl gave an answer to what I've asked several times.
"If a every sinner goes to heaven whether they believe or not why is it that they work so hard to pitch their point of view. Why is it so important to them that there message is accepted when salvation is never at stake?
We believe what we preach is vital to salvation and ones salvation is at stake pending on ones belief.
Romans 10:13-14. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? THEREFORE WE PREACH.
Secondly concerning this business of fire. Have either used this passage of scriptures? If not I wonder why.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Perhaps because it's already symbolic and very well explained! It won't serve them well in their agenda. This speaks of conditions and works being tried to a already saved person. And it's clear to them as well. In other words it's hard to compromise these well explained verses to benefit them in their theology.
So their is no Integrity in their reasoning.
God bless.
They were not in the 8 people on board of the Ark.
Maybe someone else will comment as far as Apocrypha findings. There's a LINK on the red page we first come into this website, that will take you to the Apocryphal books.
Wonderful and thought provoking question. I will offer my understanding but look forward to someone who may offer a more appropriate response.
Consider DNA. Many today are taking DNA tests to find they contain small percentages of DNA from other cultures or countries. Example: "white" person in USA contains 3% African DNA or 8% Native American. It comes as a surprise to many. What this means is that our grandfather or grandmother 10x over+ may have had a very different color of skin than we have now.
Within the first man or men of creation there must have been many "kinds" of DNA, race etc. Rather, the first man must have contained all of the traits of all of the races. Was Adam light skinned or dark skinned? Was he both? Consider dominant and recessive traits passed through the generations. Most of us are just mutts!
Food for thought.
Hopefully this helps in some manner and again I'm sure someone with more accurate knowledge can offer a better response than I provided.
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech."
"Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
Moses wrote it this way; for reasons. He wrote the first 5 Books of Genesis. During the Exodus too. He was trying to handle this all by himself, but came to a point when he appointed people to assist him with the care and problems of the exodus people, on the way to the Promised Land.
Have you ever been writing something important and people interrupt you with: the battery in my car is dead. I need help? That's what was happening to Moses.
So there are 2 places for you to read about man and woman's creation. Read those 2 scripture references. :)
And__teach it to other people.
The story of how Cain came to be killed is fascinating. You might have to look at those Geneologies in the Scriptures. Sometimes the Geneological Charts on Google is helpful.
Remember that Jesus's Bloodline was moving through Seth's BLoodline."
God spoke something to Moses, as you've noticed. He didn't write it down completely until later
Knowing this will help you understand all those scriptures that seem to skip forward, and something else is added later
Has anybody been yanking on your sleeve to drop what you're doing to help them? That's what happened to Moses.
She's worth the effort.
How animals choose the right mate, exceeds humans, I think. Building, furnishing, food supply, with thought to survive disasters, and with kids that will be born.
They're United in purpose at the beginning.
A Christian should not consider unbelievers as a mate for life. One or the other will try to win the other to their concept of God.
Like I tell my friends that are painfully single; not finding a superb mate in a lounge (bar); you are hunting in the wrong forest! "But all my friends are there." "I just don't want a drinker for a mate". Wrong Forest. Try a coffee bar. "I like my own coffee." Try a Christian church in your neighborhood. " I sleep on Sunday."
The objections tell me this person is not mate material, yet. Women are looking for good nest builders who have fancy footwork to dazzle them. Firm plans for the future in process.
Forget what Facebook, society magazines, and other singles tell you. Pick Gods choice for you. You're ready to read the Courtship and Happy Marriage chapter. Genesis 24.
Abraham's servant (verse 34); a type like unto the Holy Spirit. Abraham charges him to find Isaacs wife (verse 2).
This is a principal we can employ in our own search for a mate. It takes a lot of trust and willingness to follow His Leading. She may not water your camels, but she may be interested in nest building and future dreams.
See it?
Mishael
To put it the simplest way I can, let's look at it like this. God created MAN. Then he fashioned man by dispersion and there came the races. Hopefully someone can go in more detail.
God bless.
These verses from Isaiah 45, verses 1 to 7, is a discourse to Cyrus, the Persian King, revealing Who this God is, the One who will use the king as His instrument. So verse 7 comes as a further reminder to Cyrus that this God is unlike anyone else: He creates Light & He has the power to remove it (once Light from a source is removed, darkness prevails - it's the default with the absence of light) - in so doing, it can also be read, that darkness was then created.
He also can bring about peace (or, happiness, prosperity to the individual or the world) & He can choose to remove it (thereby evil will become present & rampant (as a default state), with Satan's influence upon man & the world). Again, as with the removal of light, the removal of peace results in the creation of evil (turmoil, disaster). The Lord doesn't create the evil for evil's sake (He can't do it, He is Holy), but at times, chooses to remove what withholds that peace, thereby allowing evil to be manifested, thus it being created. The Lord has the power to do all things, which the Persian gods could never do.
We know that in the beginning evil was never in the world. Satan's heart was lifted up against God & evil was born. All the evil around us comes from Satan & not from God. And evil continues to abound as God stays His Hand against its raging tide.
God is LOVE; but how do you know what love is, without knowing what hate is?
God is LIGHT; but how do you know light, is without knowing what darkness is?
God is LIFE; but how do you know what life, is without knowing what death is?
God is TRUTH; but how do you know what truth, is without knowing what deception is?
God is WISDOM; but how do you know what wisdom, is without knowing what ignorance is?
The tree of KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL, are in the same TREE, when we eat the FRUIT we HAVE KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL.
Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, Behold they have become like ONE OF US (Gods) to KNOW GOOD and EVIL.
Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods, the children of the most high.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate, to be conformed to the image of his Son (God) ....
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind BE IN YOU, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Philippians 2:5 Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be EQUAL with GOD.
Isaiah 66:9 Shall I not bring TO BIRTH, and not cause to bring forth? ......
Isaiah 66:8 ....for as soon a Zion travailed, she brought forth her children (gods: in the AGE TO COME).
God Bless YOU!
I am so genuinely sorry to hear of your mother. My father passed not long ago and I could not enter the hospital to see him. Unable to say goodbye or to hold his hand. Had not spoken to him in years. I pray that the Lord be with you and your family in this time of difficulty and sadness. May His light shine in this darkness and provide you with comfort, courage and strength. We are here for you and you are in my prayers.
Your response brought joy into my day. So, thank You! I'm simply amazed how God will place words or thoughts into our hearts to be shared with others. I give all the glory to our Father. I pray that your week has become more peaceful and filled with His light. Thank you genuinely for placing a smile upon my face. I too, had a rough go this week and this forum always seems to offer encouragement and refreshment. God Bless and may you enjoy your weekend full of presence from Christ!
I make peace, and create evil; peace between God and men is made by Christ, who is God over all; spiritual peace of conscience comes from God, through Christ, by the Spirit; eternal glory and happiness is of God, which saints enter into at death; peace among the saints themselves here, and with the men of the world; peace in churches, and in the world, God is the author of, even of all prosperity of every kind, which this word includes: "evil" is also from him; not the evil of sin; this is not to be found among the creatures God made; this is of men, though suffered by the Lord, and overruled by him for good: but the evil of punishment for sin, God's sore judgments, famine, pestilence, evil beasts, and the sword, or war, which latter may more especially be intended, as it is opposed to peace; this usually is the effect of sin; may be sometimes lawfully engaged in; whether on a good or bad foundation is permitted by God; moreover, all afflictions, adversities, and calamities, come under this name, and are of God; see ( Job 2:10 ) ( Amos 3:6 ) : I the Lord do all these things;
Blessings!
