    Giannis, and Wkrimes, and other readers who participate in Biblical Studies here

    Then,Giannis,you remain in your speculative and ficticious interpretation of the things which the own GOD REVEALED to Moses around 2500 years after Adam or around 1500 years BC,or exactly two Days and half of works, according GOD revealed to Moses and he wrote in GENESIS 1:3 to 13.TAKE A LOOK. Actually, the one whom GOD has sent speaks the Words of GOD, like Moses, and the prophets, and the apostles of JESUS,for GOD gives the Spirit without limit, and above all GOD sent my Lord JESUS himself, through whom GOD made all things,understand?

    That said, your thinking is from a human perspective, a stumblingblock, not from GOD's perspective. In fact, the person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of GOD but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit, undeerstand? He who has the Spirit makes Judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgment.

    In fact, the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth.It's that. But the one who is of heaven is above all( Ephesians 1:3 combined with Philippians 3:20-21,among other Scriptures)for he testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony, but whoever has accepted it has certified that GOD is Truthful.For the one whom GOD has sent speaks the Words of GOD,for GOD gives the Spirit without limit.

    Hebrews 4:12-13

    12The Word of GOD is quick-the Word is GOD,SELF-EXECUTING,understand?-,and powerful,and sharper than any twoedged Sword,piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT,and of the joints and marrow,and is a DISCERNER of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    13Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we must render an account.

    I am a lot like you in many ways. I rid myself of all technology. No phone, vehicle etc. I wanted to go back to roots if you understand what I mean. I only kept my PC so I can try to study the bible and have only recently setup a facebook account a couple of months back so that I can try to "fellowship" with as many different Christians as that is where everyone seems to be and I did not want to ( 1 Corinthians 3:18) "deceive myself". But I am a very cautious and self-aware individual and so I am wary of ( Matthew 7:15) wolves in sheep's clothing while at the same time I don't want to become a fulfillement of the prophecy ( 2 Timothy 4:3) which I feel is actually coming to pass. I want to find that biblical sound doctrine So I know what path I need to walk.

    I thank you for your time, patience and guidance and May our Lord God the Father bless you. Peace and love to you in Jesus name.

    I thank you for your kind words. I just see things are going exactly according to scripture and rather 'criticise' the world I just humbled my heart, looked inward and realised I was no different. I don't want to be like the world anymore. I just want to stop eating the fruit that Adam and Eve ate and turn back to God if that makes sense. But my lack of knowledge makes it difficult for me to understand exactly the true doctrine of God. After all satan knows the scriptures better than I and there are many "doctrines of devils". I know and believe Christ died for my sins but I just can't believe "faith alone" where we can wallow in sin. Abraham was told and Abraham obeyed. That is my kind of faith, or at least I try. I'm not sure if that is the right faith to have. I feel like I am on the verge of understanding but I am missing a piece or 2 of the puzzle so to speak. Never let your candle burn out like the "unwise virgins".

    I thank you again for your kind words and may God our Father guide you in to all truths. Peace to you in Jesus name. Amen
  • Bonnergy on Genesis 3 - 5 months ago
    where was God when Satan entered the garden and deceived the woman.? Since we believe that God is all-knowing and omnipresent. I don't just get it, He should have used His power to stop and prevent Satan from entering the garden in the first place.

    I think there is a correlation between the life of Adam and Eve before they eat the forbidden fruit and the life of a young baby, pure clean, innocent, ''blind'' naked, and never ashamed.

    I thank you for your reply but my understanding isn't quite where it should be. You say cease from my works yet I am to walk in His statutes and judgements and DO THEM. I'm sorry for my lack of understanding but this confuses me. I just want to be a ( James 1:23) doer of the word and not a hearer. lol

    I thank you for your time and patience with me.

    Peace be with you.

    Cease from your works, come into the sabbath rest, God's WORKS were finished from the foundation of the world.

    You DIED with Christ on his cross, you were resurrect with Christ, a NEW CREATION.

    You and Christ became ONE FLESH, married, you now have his name.

    You now have his faith, and all the works, by your hand, he does through you.

    Koosees, Stewart Kurtis my name. God Bless you.

    I remember this started with sharing 2 Tim 2:15-18. And as for 2 Tim 2:15, that's what I'll do.
  • Chris - In Reply - 5 months ago
    Hello friend. I am in agreement with what Adam has just shared with you: that the mention of Mohd or even an allusion to him is nowhere found in this verse, or indeed anywhere in the Bible.

    You appear to be someone who is interested in what the Bible has to say to us, even considering the rich heritage that both the descendants of Isaac & Ishmael share from the olden days. In your consideration of this prophetical Book of Isaiah, we need to remember that this book & indeed all the Bible Books are written in an historical & chronological manner. Unlike the Qur'an, where the writings are purportedly made from isolated revelations received over a period of time, the Books of the Bible were written by men moved by God's Spirit ( 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21), but were given in a systematic historical way. So when we take a verse or portion of the Bible to teach or defend a belief, then we must look at the whole - or else, our understanding will be skewed & we will be led into error.

    Since you're looking at the prophecies in Isaiah, if you would care to begin at Isaiah 13:1 right through to Isaiah 23:18, and you will notice a series of denunciations by God against particular lands/nations. Through his prophet Isaiah, God denounces Babylon, Philistia, Moab, Damascus, Ethopia, Egypt, Babylon (again), Edom, Arabia (the part you're referring to), Jerusalem, & Tyre. So when you refer to Isaiah 21:13, the specific passage is from Isaiah 21:13-17, where God's Judgement is found in verse 16, that "within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail". Even though Kedar was a powerful Arabian tribe, the reference here are to all connected to her. All these suffered judgement under God's Hand.

    But at the appointed time, God sent forth His Son Jesus, the One Who came to receive our judgement & punishment upon Himself (for our sins). Without Him we would all be condemned, but those who believed on Him would receive forgiveness ( John 1:11,12).
  • Jaell on Matthew 24 - 5 months ago
    I have a question or maybe it is a comment with a question mark. Hoping someone may be able to either affirm my interpretation of Mat 24 or shed a different understanding. As I read this scripture, I am understanding that Jesus is telling us the steps as they will happen to His returning and that even though no one except The Father knows the time we are to be ever watchful. Not fall for false prophets, false christ. AND....that the Rapture (removal of the faithful) does NOT happen before but, AFTER Tribulation. I am finding that by reading scripture myself instead of depending on the church that I have been lied to all my life, we all have- by false teachers. Satan goes through these churches, religions that are not of God and misleads us into believing everything will be fine. Relax. Go to sleep. Someone else will watch for you. You still have time to sin a little. I am angry at how gullible I have been. They lie saying "they are in a better place now", when someone dies. Not unless the ground is a better place because the Bible plainly says the dead know nothing, are as if asleep, until Jesus comes back to gather all, living and dead, that have been and were faithful. ??

    Stewart:

    You are BORN AGAIN by the word(s) of God.

    You have to let those words destroy you carnal mind.

    As you carnal mind is destroyed and you come to truth what God has done by the death and resurrection of his son, then you will develop a deep relationship with God.

    All is a finished work, you do nothing, just come to knowledge, through his words, what he has done for you.

    God BLESS YOU!
  • Stewart - In Reply - 5 months ago
    I don't fear death. Only fear I have is of God, which the beginning of Wisdom. And I do agree the Word is no supposed to be a complicated book. But the rest you kinda lost me, the Holy Spirit our Comforter. God is the one that we pray to in the Name of Jesus Christ. And I would rather be healed but the meeting in the air could happen before that. Thankful my days are numbered is a first for me. I am thankful each day God gives us all, and to those that are lost. Each day is a day brought to us all by God's Grace, for no man knoweth the hour when that day comes. Could be before my days are over, only God Knows. As for deliverance God will either deliver me, or he won't. To be absent from the body is to present with the LORD.

    Shabbat Keeper:

    I know the two resurrection you speak of, most believe what you believe.

    The word speaks of Christ resurrection, then the resurrection of those who never believe that were raised with Christ.

    Colossians 3:1 ... if ye be RISEN with Christ ....

    Ephesians 2:6 .... and hath RAISED US us up together ....

    Isaiah 26:19 .... TOGETHER with my dead body shall they ARISE ....

    Hosea 6:2 ..... in the third day he will raise US UP .......

    The saints that arose with Christ, were the Old Testament saints that had died in faith, but had never receive their promise of eternal life.

    Those: in Revelation under the alter clothed in white are the Old saints awaiting their promise, eternal life, by their resurrection of Christ.

    These are the 144,000 raised with Christ, the firstfruits of the resurrection.

    Hebrews 11:39 And these all, havlng obtained a good report through faith, received not the PROMISE (eternal life).

    Hebrews 11:40 Christ having provided some BETTER THING FOR US (never having to die and wait in the grave), that they WITHOUT US should not be made PERFECT (by our resurrection as one).

    Hebrews 5:9 ...and having been made perfect .... by our resurrection as one ....

    Philippians 3:15 Let us therefore who be perfect (by our resurrection as one), be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise mined, God shall reveal even this to you.

    God Bless YOU!

    Thanks You Jordyn

    I thank you for your response. I think but seeing its in other scriptures its not telling us Heavens direction. Which is ok, we does tell us will do for me. His word is enough for me.

    Here is one prophecy of Christ.

    Matthew 27:46

    "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken Me?"

    Psalms 22:1

    "(To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?"

    John 19:30

    "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and he bowed His head, and gave up the ghost."

    Psalms 22:31

    "They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this."

    God Bless You

    Hi Lee,

    That's another great verse. I wonder if anyone has ever counted all the names of God. He is the Truth in this crazy, messed up world. He is Faithful in his promises to us. I can't wait to see him on the white horse. :) Thanks for sharing.

    Public school ruined my children's faith. The fact that you are on fire for the LORD is beautiful and maybe a miracle knowing what I know about public education.

    This verse is for you: "When thou said, seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, I will seek". Psalm 27:8 KJV.

    And here is another: "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breast. For precept must be upon precept; precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; hear a little and there a little." Isaiah 28:9-10. KJV.

    I am also learning and memorizing. It's a daily thing, a labor of love. May the LORD give you all understanding. Amen :)

    Hello, I don't see any verse mentioning muhammed. Isaiah 21:13 mentions Arabia but I think it's a stretch to say that has anything to do with this person. I think some are eager and motivated to draw a connection to him and are trying to find any possible connection instead of simply reading the Bible and trying to understand its normal meaning.

    The Bible is clear that no one can be saved and enter heaven without Jesus Christ.

    "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12 KJV
  • Shabbat Keeper - In Reply on John 15 - 5 months ago
    Hi Jordyn, the two resurrections that I was referring to are :

    1. the resurrection of the dead at the second coming of Jesus Christ.

    2. And, then 1000 years later, the resurrection of the wicked to receive their judgement.

    I was not referring to the resurrection of our LORD which, in my opinion, is a special and separate deal. By the way, it's so interesting because after Christ rose, some of the dead were resurrected and seen in Jerusalem. The Bible says Jesus took captives in his train when he returned to Heaven. That's exciting. I wish it would've been me in the train. Oh well. I'll be patient. :)

    ( Revelation 19:11) "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a WHITE HORSE; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make WAR."

    Greetings and grace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Thank you for the reply. I always had an imagination since I was a child, although it isn't quite what it used to be as I am now 35 and secular school sucked that out of me lol. When I take scripture I do try to meditate on it however, I am very young in my faith so my understanding is very very limited as I lack knowledge in scripture. I seen this post and the clouds made me think of the "final battle" that is to come. Another scripture I read somewhere of Jesus on a white horse I think? This is where I lack knowledge and need a study partner. Besides trying to study though I am also trying to rebuild my heart in accordance to God, get sound doctrine become obedient to His commands to make sure I am prepared before he comes, while also lead another soul into true salvation.

    Peace be with you in Jesus name.

    You seem to make a lot of sense, my brother. I can learn a lot from you.

    Do you have facebook? I do have many questions as I am so young in understanding and I don't want to be deceived by "false prophets" as well as deceive myself.

    I thank you for sharing

    May God our Father bless you kindly with grace, peace and love in Jesus name.

    Biblical information and evidences shows that Muhammad was actually mentioned in the Bible, and, as such, these has helped me provide a practical guide by which I examine these prophesies with Biblical references. Factually, Biblical findings have illustrated that there are a fair amount of external evidence supporting the Biblical historicity of the advent of an Arabian prophet Muhammad , which stated "The Oracle concerning Arabia in the thickets in Arabia you will lodge"

    ( Isaiah 21 vs 13 RSV)

    .

    Interestingly, in the Oracle of Isaiah, "in the thickets in Arabia you will lodge", indicated the advent of a personality to emerge from Arabia and a warning that Arabia is the Promised Land which was referred to as Tema in the same oracle, Tema is therefore a name as well as a place, which referred to the Arabian city of Madinah on the one hand, as well as the son of Ishmael on the other hand. Kedar is the name of another son of Ishmael who also dwelled in the land of Paran and referred to as another Arabian City called Makkah and according to Biblical commentators, Prophet Muhammad is a descendant of Kedar, this assertion is also admitted to by Jewish Biblical commentators as well. Thank you.

    Whether literal or figurative truth, its still the truth. Jesus said I am the door. That is the truth. A figurative but the truth period. He gots Head shoulders knees and toes, we know what door looks like. But its the all true what is said John 10:9. Or is it literal when it says to pluck your eye out? Well yes, if that what it takes, but better just quit the sin and keep both them good eyes. There are Three (Literal)......They are one (Figurative, not 1 being but 1,2,3 beings one is Unity, They are God(The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost), They were there at the beginning.) There are words like...........world, all, make, made, lost, fast, etc which we know to give each word in context its proper meaning. Its not for, but its for us today to know so I take it literal as it written like GEN 1:1 as I would other books, until a scripture could not be literal, buts its still speaks the truth. A figurative truth, but the TRUTH. There are parables, the beatitudes, songs, visions but the symbols explained, proverbs too. Fill me in the rest Im missing. When Jesus told Peter get ye behind me Satan, a double rebuke for trying to talk Jesus out of dying on the cross. Like the Lamentation to the King of Tyre from God too, for instance. I don't know it all and I am still learning.

    Stewart:

    Most of the Psalms convey a prophecy of Christ.

    This Psalm is a prophecy of what the works of his cross will accomplish.

    Psalms 75:1 Unto thee do we give thanks, for THY NAME is near (as) thy WONDROUS WORKS declare.

    We were married to Christ, becoming one flesh, and bearing HIS NAME, at his resurrection.

    Psalms 57:2 When I (Christ) RECEIVE the congregation ( Psalms 2:8) I (Christ) will judge uprightly.

    Psalms 57:3 The earth and the inhabitants thereof are dissolved (they will died on the cross). I (Christ) will bear the PILLARS ( Revelation 3:12 the NEW CREATION) of it.

    Psalms 57:4 I (Christ) said unto the fools (all of us, because we have not knowledge of the works of God); Deal not foolishly: and unto the wicked (all of us), Lift not up the horn (a symbol of power).

    Psalms 57:5 Lift not up your horn on high, speak not with a stiff neck.

    Psalms 57:6 For PROMOTION (going form a foolish, stiff necked people: to the sons of God) cometh neither from the east, nor the west, nor the south,

    Psalms 57:7 But (from) God (who) is the judge, he putteth down one (all of us, the foolish and stiff necked), and setteth up another (the sons of GOD).

    All by the RESURRECTION of Christ.

    God BLESS YOU.

    Amen, and God Bless You for your words, and I will keeping doing so. I was saved born again from a young age, aged 5 when my Parents got saved up until age 15. By then I was the only one still born again keeping from sin in my Family. I believe God will bring them back and many others. As long as two or three are gathered in My Name the word says. I just recently got back up, I am 36, His word never departed, but I was in sin all these years. I got saved a few months back, after having my second lung collapse in 5 years (both of them) not just because of that but I been wanting to get back up for awhile. I just didnt want to quit the sin business at the time. I attended our Churches (Moose Factory Academy of Christian Education grade 3-9) and was thankful for to be taught at a young age. Not that going to church 6 days out of the week will save you, it's a relationship, abstaining from sin is the difference we have than that of religion which is dead.

    Thank You for words of encouragement, kindness and I love you as Christ loved me, everyone. God Bless You too.
