Genesis 1:2 - Darkness , without form, void; A simplistic view of a simple man.
Seems clear that God has no darkness in Him, everything is laid bare in His presence. Everything is created during the light of day for God has no darkness in Him and all darkness flees in His presence. It's conceivable that the earth and heaven were created in the light of God's presence without giving it light. Darkness is not chaos. Being void is not chaos, being without form is not chaos.
The earth was made to be inhabited therefore the soil had to be very fertile yet the earth was covered in deep water. Man was made from the dust or dried out fertile earth, the good stuff. Fertile earth under water is mud, mud is formless until taken out of water and most of the water is removed to the point of a potters delight to give it form. Before the Spirit of God is in the nostrils of man it is void of life.
The firmament does not yet divide the waters from the waters so it is not just the waters of earth that the Spirit of God is moving over but all of the water's depth of the earth and heaven.
Man was without sin when created and the earth was not cursed until Adam listened to his wife and sinned. Adam was not deceived by the serpent and is why Adam sinned like no other man. Adam may have been tempted by the serpent but did not sin as a result just like Jesus, temped by the serpent but did not sin, Jesus is the last Adam, Jesus came back for His bride who was deceived by the serpent.
God cursed the earth after Adam sinned for the benefit of man therefore why would God allow, or destroy it Himself, the earth for any other reason prior to man's sin?
Darkness is the darkness of darkness for it is the condition without the light of God and is the darkness the ungodly will be cast into at the appointed time. God leaves this world behind with the new earth, the old earth has passed away along with the ungodly and back to its original darkness before God put the knowledge of His creation in Hi
Does the King James Version and the New King James Version have the same meaning? I have always read the King James Version but some in my family say they can understand the New Version better because its more in our language.
Deuteronomy 5: 9 for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Deuteronomy 5: 10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
how to understand "third and fourth generation" and "thousands of them"?
does "them" imply generations, children, or something else?
I cannot understand how -expletive that called themselves find it so hard to believe in their hearts that Jesus is also God . Jesus himself says that he is God . Read from John chapter 8 verses 54 -59 . Jesus answered the Jews saying if I honour myself my honour is nothing it is my Father that honoureth me of whom you say that he is your God yet you have not known him but I kimonos him and if should say that I know him not I shall be a liar like unto you :but I know him and keep his saying .your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and was glad, then said the Jews unto Jesus thou are not yet fifty years old and has thou seen Abraham ?Jesus said unto them Before Abraham was I AM.
here in John chapter 8 verse 58 . Jesus our lord and savior declared who he truly is God the great I am .
Even to the prophet Isaiah in chapter 9 verse 6 declared That Jesus is the mighty God and the everlasting Father .
In Genesis chapter 10, what is the importance of the bible listing all these sons and daughters? So many sons and daughters were listed and I am wondering why?
My brother by baptism remembers the Tower of Babel was a time maybe like today. God restrained, Satan gained. What are the limits of the tower men are building again? Have we no fear? If man can be associated with a 6; a number well less than 7; all he can do is build on 6 while the times continue. He can never reach 7 where there is a fullness in God. So man as history moves forward repeats his number in various ways of falseness.
Every Day with The Holy Spirit on Romans 13 - 2 years ago
Romans 8:34
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.
Romans 8:27
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he (Jesus) makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
He is in heaven where the above scriptures say what He is doing. When this age closes, the Father will tell the Bridegroom to go get His Bride.
The Holy Spirit is on earth now performing His ministry. Jesus went to the Cross to give believers the Holy Spirit who indwells each believer with the spirit of Christ.
He comforts, teaches, baptizes, speaks, strives with sinners, creates, renews, convicts, anoints, guides, empowers, sanctifies, gives gifts, illuminates, reveals truth of God, and much more.
After the "caught up in the clouds", of the Church, His ministry will be diminished.
I would say I have a close relationship with Him. I pray, talk with, worship Jesus, read huge chunks of the Bible daily, sit still until He teaches me what I just read; He sharpens my spiritual discernment, corrects me often. I cannot express the inner JOY it is, to covet being in His presence. He speaks to me at home, in the car, taking a walk. He gives words of knowledge and words of wisdom; verses to go look up.
If you are daily crucifying your flesh so you may walk in the spirit, you too will experience this joy. I like to get in my closet, sit under the clothes and practice intense listening.
Get to know Him! He's a real Person who happens to be invisible to our eyes; but visible in the spirit; to hearts and to our spirit inside, ears. The Bible says God is a consuming fire. The fire of His love for us burns steady. How is yours?
Turn off the noise of the world for a little while, and get to know the ways of the Holy Spirit.
What does the bible say about a mother that rapes and lets men rape her children daily for years ? What am I as a christian supposed to do as a grandmother ?
This sounds like the Roman empire expanding and conquering the ptomely. They don't conquer the edomites or ammonites or moabites? The empire got the coast of lybia but not the entire nor the Ethipionians.
1.In my King James Versio Ecclesiastes has only 12 chapters. Today at Prince Phillip's funeral the 43 rd chapter was read. I found it in a Catholic bible: what happened.: why is it not in th King James version?
2.Also: I read mostly the German Martin Luther Bible: I find no Ecclesiastes there at all
3. What does the word Ecclesiastes mean? ecclesia= church
I am confused. Was reading Roman's 13. It starts with let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. And it goes on to for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God and so on......it just doesn't make sense to me. God is a loving God, so how can He have appointed Hitler? And now with our new party who is for abortion. I just cried because it really hurt my heart. I must be missing something. Hope you can help me. Have a blessed day.
What did Jesus mean here ?
Can I infer from Ps.100 v 3 that the word LORD has 'greater' meaning than the word God?
Thanks.
Deuteronomy 8:3 ...neither did thy fathers know;
Genesis 15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace;
Genesis 47:9 ...have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
Genesis 48:21 unto the land of your fathers
Numbers 20:15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
...
Who are these Fathers? any special meaning?
