50 years ago, I read, perhaps in the pseudepigrapha, because I cannot re-find it by keyword search: 'Adam or Michael is confronted by Satan who wishes to talk with him; Michael answers, he can only tarry for the briefest moment, because if longer, what he is will come upon him'. That is a paraphrase as best as I can recall.
Is there a scholar out there who may know this passage???
How can a woman encourage others to move forward as Deborah when men are to lead? The New Testament encourages women to be led by their husbands and to stay quiet.
What foundation can we go back to as brother's in Christ? Can we justify our relationship to this foundation only by scripture or is there other evidence? What is accountability? Does the Holy Ghost remind us of our foundation and what it cost? Did we sell everything to know the foundation? Do we remain on the foundation or is there temptation to wander off? Can we/you teach the Gospel or reprove for the Gospel's sake if we are not on the foundation? Who is our brother, who is our sister? On the true foundation do we remain teachable? God leads to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, do we know Him?
Yes , I get angry at the false teachers and those that twist the word of god , is my anger toward those type of teachers justified . We're talking about the souls of men and eternal consequences whenever people are lead astray by the heretics .
Question I have. When king David led Israel's army to defeat all enemies, clear the land of inhabitants so Israel could live in the land promised by God, can we say David's motive was love and obedience or anger and vengeance? Also, when Jesus cleared the temple of money changers and vendors was His motive love and obedience or anger?
My comment is that, I am in dial need to be guided through as I make effort to be able to have proper grasp of the content of the bible as I go along with maximum support from people who know better.
Why did Israel question the false King Absalom and made King Solomon his brother King for his righteousness yet Israel allowed Rehoboam do sinful things? Generation gap? It's sad to see this pattern of good vs evil in generations of Kings.
Curious to read on if Asa overtakes Bahaah King of Israel and restore all 12 tribes as one and follow the God again.
I feel like i have a lot in common with Jesus. A lot of similarities. Does the Bible ever mention about Jesus having any romantic relationship? Or even a desire to have a romantic relationship? I've always felt different. I've never desired any romantic relationship. But I've always loved to take care of animals. Jesus loves to take care of us. I've had jobs working with animals. Then i started to see the Bible verse : Jeremiah 29:11. I thought that was god 's way of telling me that his plan for my life was to have a lifelong career working with animals. But those jobs did not last as long as I'd hoped. It felt like a peice of myself was missing. Then during this corona virus i started to write in my journal about my personal experiences. Through the process, i realized that i was answering a lot of questions I've had about myself all my life. Finally i understood me & i realized that maybe this was god's plan for me all along. His plan was for me to seek out personal information about myself. It reminds me of another Bible verse : Matthew 7:7. And that's exactly what is been doing. I was seeking out information to understand what makes me different. I was asking personal questions about myself because I'd rather understand, instead of doubt & the door was opened wide for me to see the answers to those questions. My prayer is that my story can help anyone else who feels different. Its OK to be different no matter what & it's healthy to accept yourself!

morning meditation.
1. Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,
does this mean tree of life and tree of the knowledge of good and evil are the same?
2. Genesis 3:5 and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
how to understand "gods" here?
Were they a)I've but could not move?
What was their state of mind if they had any?
