When the the statement let us make man in our own image is made. Who is the us that's implied?
Some would say the Father the Son and the Holy spirit because it's easy to do. I'm searching for true understanding to have proof and evidence because I don't want to run away from these questions when contending with people while witnessing in the future.
It's written,God is Good. Sin originated in satan's free wil mind. It's written, God has determined a time, to put an end to the enemy of God! Jesus said that nobody knows when it will be, only The Father. We can read mathews on 24th chapter, where Jesus describes the main traits of human behavior and earth destruction, that precipitate the abreviation of those days. We are on those days, since the time predicted by ptophecy ( Daniel 8:14) ended in 1844, afer the 2300 days / years. Then, started the time for the proclamation of the impending second coming of Christ (Apocalypse 14:6). Another final event happened, when Noah, during 120 years, announced to the world, that deluge or flood, would come, as it came. When someone enters a house destroyin and killing, the victym is legaly authorized to use force to defend his family. Noah was God's family, Jesus said that His family are those who submit to God's will and moral Law, being Sabath, the authority's sign! God's Justice and Mercy coexist, in order to stablish Love and freedom. There is an evil agressor, who invaded the earth, and intends to destroy and kill, starting on Heaven, and after being expelled, came here, tryind to continue the fight to stablish his throne above God's Throne. God in His wisdom had already decided to create free will beings, and take upon Himself full responsability of the consequences of the rebellion, by assuming the creature's defence in case of an agreesion. How much time took the rebellion to ferment? We don't know.
His answer to devil's intent, was revealed on Jesus's sacrifice and victory, on the cross, at calvary's hill, as God's Lamb, who takes away world's sin.
Since then, darkness's powers are doomed, by that Heavenly Councill, that accepted Jesus's sacrifice and Justice!
Jesus interceeds on Heaven's Sanctuary, for whosoever repents, believing on Jesus's blood mrits, and deciding for a new life, in Christ, by Holy Spirit's Power, To Trine God Almighty's Glory! men!Aleluia
In Mark10:40 Why does Jesus say to James and John To sit on his right hand and on his left hand is not his to give? Who's is it to give? I'm not asking who it shall be given to, I'm asking who's is it to give?
If some people still want to deny that Jesus Christ has as much power as his Father....
Look at the scripture John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."...
and read the whole chapter...do not deny Jesus and say only the father can make great things happen..becouse so can Jesus...he is the reason we are still here. he died on the cross for our sins, so we may be able to have redemption.
I will continue to worship and go to church...I am Apostolic Pentecostal ..I have been told "This religion is not widely accepted"...well neither was Jesus Christ..for they crucified him on the cross and that "IS" widely accepted..it is known worldwide...
Thank you all for your time and responses and reply's...
i love Jesus Christ and he is the reason I am still here today. on this earth.
Goodbye.
I still will use this site for Bible study, for this site is a very wonderful way to study the King James Bible.
Why is the King James Bible the only true Bible in my opinion and others as well ?
Because it is a English Preservation of the very words of "God"..and it is as accurate as the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts found in it's underlying texts. adherents to this belief many also believe that the original languages "Hebrew" AND "Greek" can be corrected by the King James Bible..
One more comment on soul winning: Your intercessory prayer life has to have deep roots.
With Intercessory Prayer within a group at your Church. If there isn't one, then with those interested at someone's home.
Pray for God to send angelic protection to accompany you. Give thanks.
It's best to do it like Jesus taught. You need a partner to go with you. Get your Bibles equipped with a LIST of scriptures easily accessed. I buy and take an assortment of Bible Tracts with me. Chick Tracts DOTcom. Read some and pick what will be attractive. Write your church name on the back.
PRAY for the Holy Spirit to bring people to your route who are ready to hear the Gospel. Carry your Bibles openly and folks will be curious.
No matter being heckled, repay with kindness. One on one is best. Sometimes offer a cup of coffee in McDonald's for privacy if need be.
Stay off private property and on public right of way.
Just hang out and look friendly. Listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes Jesus just disappeared in crowd gatherings. :) everyone would be saying where is he?
I write down everyone's name I lead to Christ in my Bible so I can pray for them later. Pray for their faith to run hot and not get cold. (Revelation)
Don't get into shout outs with "Christian" scientists, JW's, etc. it makes crowds gather.
Jesus will be there with you and the Holy Spirit. He was for me. I'd go to places where there was foot traffic. Right now there's a lot of curiosity because of all the disasters going on around the world. Do memorize Matthew 24 and Luke 21.
I tell stories like Jesus did. Most people will listen to a story; they'll take comic book tracts with them. I leave one on bus benches.
Never forget that you are children, we can say fully taught, for some of us but still children for the Lord. For He has the last word.
Never forget when God drew you to Himself.
Never think of yourself, until you think of others as yourself.
Never go past any needy "beggars".
I also believe that we Christians would have had more to give to the poor and the beggars if we had not had large demanding houses and entertainment. Here I think most Christians have departed from the spirit of God to the spirit of the times.
Acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
What about a discussion of Mark 12:29? I find it interesting, after the scribe (verse 28) asks the important question, "What is the greatest commandment?", that there is seldom commentary regarding the actual answer (verse 29): "Jesus answered him saying, 'The greatest commandment is know, O Israel, the Lord OUR God is one Lord."
Discussion here completely omits any dialog about this verse about the answer Jesus gives him the clear and true meaning gets left out by saying, ".. the great commandment, which indeed includes all, is, that of loving God with all our hearts." What it also "includes" is the great commandment [quote]: "Jesus answered him saying, 'The greatest commandment is know, O Israel, the Lord OUR GOD is ONE Lord' (emphasis added).
Jesus is including himself with "OUR GOD" and why would he say "ONE" Lord, instead of trinity.
Also, if the word 'Trinity' is nowhere in the Bible . . . what can we think about that?
Thank you so much for opening up my mind and heart to consider the possibility of learning how to think for myself - instead of thinking what I'm told to think.
I love the beautiful way the Bible still tells it like it is, when it comes to monotheism.
One God.
Him I really want love with all my heart, mind, soul and spirit. Yes, I want to pray to the same God Jesus prayed to.
Context and identification of individual or group being addressed in any chapter or Book in God's Word is key to determine
specifically who God is speaking to. All Scripture was preserved for us, but not all verses are written to us. The promise, "no weapon formed against thee shall prosper......" was a promise of God specific to Israel the nation and people. The "weapons" being spoken of are literal, physical weapons of war. Notice the references to "blowing the coals in the fire......
bringing forth an instrument of his work.... and the word "smith" as in metal or blacksmith.(these are implements of war).
If this is a promise to all believers and applies some spiritual meaning to be a protection from harm from weapons or attacks as a believers claim to it, thru the finished work of Salvation, then where is the application to those who were/are beheaded for their faith and refusal to convert to Islam?!!!! Why are we then exhorted as Christians to, "put on the whole armor of God"( Eph. 6:11-18)? Because the weapons here in Ephesians are our weapons for battle, rather than some twist of a promise of God to Israel mis-applied to us(the Church).
Manuel Marques Teixeira on Psalms 34 - 2 years ago
Jesus sais to a rich young man who called Good Master, why do you call me Good? there is only One Who is GOOD, Whom is GOD!
Moses asked to see God's Face, and GOD answered showing His presence and hearing a proclamation of GOD's Character, as it's written on xodus 34:5-9, and also anouncedthe future of those who repent with an undivided heart and Faithfullness, as it's writtrn on deuteronomio 30.2-10. Jesus also gave testimony of GOD saying. - God so loved the world that gave His Begotten Son, for whosoever believe Him, don't perish but ay have Eternal LIfe! Jonhn 3:16 and 19 and 4: 24 and 26.God took upon Himself our sin and guilt, and as a man of sorrows, went till the end and gave all his love and Mercy to whosoever accepts Jesus as a personal Savior and Lord.
God's Justice was acomplished in Christ, as God's Lamb Who was slained since before the creaton of the Universe, before space and time. God is God, let's give Him what belongs Him and be humble before God, and practice justice towerds our neighbor, as Jesus did keeping all the ten commandements as He resumed to the rich young man.
To chose God we need to know Jesus and follow Him with all our will of power and unfailling Fait as He Had, on All Father's Word, and giving to Csar which belongs to Csar, being respectfull towerds authority, and honoring the governor or King., and forgiving all men as jesus forgave those who insulted and killed Him. men!

did but again things that a man of God [which Noah was ]would state the action so bad that scripture states
cursed and also talking about His Son, this situation is where spirit is thicker than blood! This tells you where
Ham was at spiritually and his actions proved it. I suggest looking up things or actions taken that are considered
CURSED by God.
His answer to devil's intent, was revealed on Jesus's sacrifice and victory, on the cross, at calvary's hill, as God's Lamb, who takes away world's sin.
Since then, darkness's powers are doomed, by that Heavenly Councill, that accepted Jesus's sacrifice and Justice!
Jesus interceeds on Heaven's Sanctuary, for whosoever repents, believing on Jesus's blood mrits, and deciding for a new life, in Christ, by Holy Spirit's Power, To Trine God Almighty's Glory! men!Aleluia
said whatever the act was had to be intentional and severe enough to have a curse on ham like the one on
Cain and other men who were wicked in their actions. Then another point is look at what God shows coming out
of the bloodline Nimrod who's name means rebel and the term mighty hunter before the Lord means in absolute
defiance of the true God. Also out of his bloodline came the Philistines not nice people!
For God [Jesus] so loved the world he gave his only begotten son So that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
What am I supposed to do with that?
Look at the scripture John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."...
and read the whole chapter...do not deny Jesus and say only the father can make great things happen..becouse so can Jesus...he is the reason we are still here. he died on the cross for our sins, so we may be able to have redemption.
I will continue to worship and go to church...I am Apostolic Pentecostal ..I have been told "This religion is not widely accepted"...well neither was Jesus Christ..for they crucified him on the cross and that "IS" widely accepted..it is known worldwide...

Its a joy and privilege never out of bondage. When witnessing and right on with word it Glorifies
God always. The word of God living in you will be the burning drive in you. Its the love of Christ that drives us to
do the work of Christ. People will read you before they read the word we are the witness. Don't be like a bull in
a china closet have focus. Every person and situation is different this is not a canned walk ask God all the time
about what to do. Its the highest privilege we have as ambassadors for Christ 2 Corinthians 5:20so believe in His
ability in you that's what people in darkness see His light in you shining Mathew 5: 14-16. This is done by
inspiration not perspiration so spiritually let er rip tatter chip for God!

Chapter5:
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

There are lots of lords in England.
God's real name is YHWH there are many god's Satan is a god.
Jesus' real name is Yahusha and in his time here in the world there was no letter J.
why use the Jews in the Bible as if they were YHWH people they are not the Hebrews of old, they are the Pharisees, that hated Yahusha.
They are pure Cabal from the Russian steps.
Are you even able to answer me? If you are it would be much appreciated.
YAH BLESS
