This is a question instead of a comment. I need some help. How do you tell what is hebrew poetry? For example I know that Genesis 1:27 is poetry because it was used in a example in a study I was doing. Other versions change the line breaks when a section is poetry. How do I tell in the kjv?
Does this spirit control the world to this day, and did they use the state to torcher and murder Jesus Christ? Revelation 2:9s bankers, Ashkenazi, Zionists, corporate owners and heads, government corporation owners etc. Luke 22:43-71 and Chapter 23, Using 1 Timothy 6:10 etc. Why does using a strongs concordance for the word "god" in Genisis 1 and 2 say Elohym and not God all mighty or other name used for Jehovah God of heaven? The word magistrates are gods, but Lucifer is a god? Did we fall for the bate and get trapped on earth that is under his control? And why does the world not see the divining serpent in English better known as the Jesuit controlled Vati can in Latin with all her secret societies (Tapped Freemasonry etc.). The Latin to English translators online were all altered around March 2023 to hide this information? Her priests praise Lucifer and the dawning of his creation (the earth) every Easter Sunday on the first day of the week when the Sabbath is on the seventh day of the week. The large alter gives hidden messages in symbolic form. In John 14:15 red letters, Jesus is saying If ye love me, keep my commandments. So, grace and the law (Commandments) because we love God and want to follow Him and not one or the other? So, starting to understand but need more information, thank you, I know that this is a lot to figure out.
No scripture of itself interprets scripture, it takes other scriptures combined together to interpret truth.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God CANNOT commit sin, for his SEED (GOD) remaineth in him, and he CANNOT SIN because he is born of God.
Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my Spirit (God is Spirit) in YOU and CAUSE you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements and DO them.
The kingdom of God only COMES to you if you believe what the word says.
Matthew 12:28 But if I (the Spirit of TRUTH) cast out devils (the spirit of deception) by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has COME unto you.
Was Paul saying something different; or, was he agreeing agreeing that is GOD IN YOU; HIS flesh and bone, that keeps you from sinning and not of yourself (your DEAD) only a NEW CREATION exist.
When you BELIEVE you are going to keep sinning in this life, then your going to keep sinning.
Matthew 8:13 .... and as thou hast BELIEVE, so be it done unto you ........
Do you BELIEVE you are a NEW CREATION, the flesh and bone OF CHRIST?
John 17:22 And the glory that thou has given me, I have GIVEN them, that they may be ONE as we are ONE.
If you don't believe that scripture, then the Kingdom of God has not YET COME to you.
Regarding the discussion about whether we are saved and cannot loose our salvation . I'm not supporting any one person's views but I will explain mine if I may . Jesus's prayer in John chapter 17 is very telling to me , I shall not expound it but I will leave it to you to infer what you will from it . I believe that God knows who will be among His treasures and we don't know about anybody else because we don't truly know the heart of anyone else , only God knows us totally . I look at all those TV evangelists living in luxury and I wonder whether or not they are truly saved ? There was a man in my congregation , married over twenty years . His wife discovered that she has H.I.V. He confessed that he had been regularly sleeping with men even before he was married . The church was just a lifestyle to him . We all thought he was a true Christian through and through , is he saved ? I don't know because I don't know his heart and I'm not his judge , God will judge him through Christ . We all sin , saved or not , none of us is clean but we are covered , Christ has covered us with his innocent blood and God doesn't see our sins anymore . That doesn't mean that we are sinless , it means Christ has paid the penalty for our sins and God will not impute them to us . Our relationship with Christ is very personal and we are not under the law we are under grace . There may be times in our lives where we will be faced with choices and sometimes those choices will involve us doing things that the law says is wrong , do I have to honour my violent abusive atheist parents ? You have all faced choices . God knows who is His , He knew before we were born . It's not our business to judge others , they have their own personal relationship with Christ . We may warn someone or advise someone but if they don't heed our warning that's their choice and they must work out their own salvation and speak to God about it through Christ . God knows everything about everyone , we don't .
JESUS' own testimony about Himself is wonderful, and reveals to us in depth the mystery of His existence here in the greatness of the Universe created by GOD, the Word, GOD the Father, full of heavenly bodies, and here on Earth, specifically, He populated the planet with living beings, and sat in the circle of the Earth, as is written in Isaiah 40:21-22KJV:
21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is GOD that sitteth upon the circle of the Earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; ...
That said, we must remember what JESUS said from His own existence: - John 17:4-5KJV: as follow:
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. ( John 1:3, and 5:17, and Hebrews 1:1-2KJV testify about this that JESUS said. Take a look.)
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the WORLD was. (John the Baptist, the angel of the LORD, testified about this, saying: John 1:18KJV- 18 No man hath seen GOD at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.)
Paul testified, saying: Colossians 1:14-16KJV:
14 In JESUS we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the INVISIBLE GOD -the Word- the Word is GOD- , the firstborn of every creature (the Word made flesh):
16 For by Him -by JESUS- were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: ( John 1:3, and 5:17, and Hebrews 1:1-2 confirm)
Can I ask a question of everyone ? I've heard a few people say that the anti-Christ will appear and proclaim himself that he is Christ , could this not mean that some one will present themselves as a saviour , not necessarily as Jesus Christ but as an inventor of something , or a scientist or a discoverer of a medical breakthrough ? Does anyone think that's possible ? There are so many evil things going on in science these days , people trying desperately to prove that we humans are the peak of evolution and that we can do anything that any God can do .
Ezekiel 36:24-32 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Joel 2:12-14 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Galatians 2:16-21 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith OF Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith OF Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified BY Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith OF the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 2:1-4 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
I am unable to find a detailed commentry on Joshua 16:10.... on your website. I shall be grateful for an answer. Joshua was a man who served God faithfully and did as he was told. So Why were the canaanites not fully destroyed. It does mention the Tribute factor ?
I read the question? about our meeting with Jesus outside the City. What I find feasible is where the mention of the Jews which went to Jesus, left the city for Him outside. I find this is referring to our Salvation is by leaving the "Law" which was in effect in the time before Jesus resurrected to defeat Death. But, once He overcame Death by fulfilling the Law, as Paul has said before, The Law was written for man, by man. so it is not effective upon us. Now we have the New Laws which Jesus presented.
Romans 8:2chapter context similar meaning copy save
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 4:15chapter context similar meaning copy save
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
I think this can be read as man's clever ideas designs or inventions-products to help mankind.
Without damaging the fundamental point of avoiding man's clever or better words would be,"cunning or wicked", plans-inventions to mislead against God's word.
Mezzimah is the Hebrew for inventions. In its meaning I've read it can mean , good plans or good ideas to help mankind as well as wicked plans.
Does anyone agree that the full expression of Witty inventions in verse 12 of proverbs 8 would include good plans of man. Maybe it can cover good and bad plans. Using wisdom to find knowledge of Witty inventions.
The word Witty I think is a broad word too which can be interpreted differently.
All without damaging the fundamental teaching that God's plans are better than man's but also that the fullness of God's blessings and potentials shouldn't be limited by a more fundamental interpretation in this verse.
Thanks, I wrote alot, been writing about this a bit.
I believe we have a all knowing God who can't be surprised who stands on the outside of time looking in!
Anything you are going to do next week or next year, in God's view you did it yesterday!
How can we know his judgments?
We know that he's just and we're all guilty.
He's righteous, Merciful, longsuffering and he's just, beyond what we can comprehend.
With that being said our minds don't measure up when trying to understand his Judgments.
So if we use his attributes along with what is consistent throughout ALL scripture as a principle to guide us we should come to conclusion hearing and receiving the word of God or refusing to hear and rejecting the word of God plays the primary role in God's Judgment.
So there must be an age of maturity enough for one to understand they need an savior because little two year old Billie is a sinner and he don't know it.
An accountability is likely when one matures and have understanding of some sort of consequences for sin, Some acknowledgement of the need for a savior.
And I believe God judges them according to what they receives.
Here's a few scriptures according to those basics.
Luke 10:13-14
Matthew 10:14-15.
Luke 12:47-48.
God shall judge righteous.
You see a picture of how he uses discretion in judgment in
Genesis 18:23-32.
Genesis 18:35 should be considered along with God's sovereign and foreknowledge and circumstances.
I believe there's a lot more going on in this dark world than what is on the surface and these things should be taken into consideration when questioning God's decision to destroy nations.
We could never fully understand God's methods of Judging but we can take what we do have in scripture and say one would have to be able to comprehend more than what a child is capable of to receive judgment without mercy.
Example.
DEUTERONOMY 1:39
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day HAD NO KNOWLEDGE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL..
Does anyone have the prophecy of scripture to interpret who US is THAT the word refers to in GENESIS 1:26-- " God SAID" let us" --- anyone know the HOLY Spirit interpretation?
Hi once more Brother Dan , I respect your beliefs totally so I shan't labour my point any more after this post . Just to answer your statement about the ressurection of the just and of the unjust , who are they ? My belief is that the ' unjust ' are they ( Christians ) who knew their masters ( God or Jesus ) will and didn't do it . Luke Ch 12 V 47+48 . Matthew Ch 25 V 31-46 again :) , John Ch 9 V 39-41 . I shall not bother you again on this subject . Thanks for your time and I enjoyed our discussion .
Is it offensive to Jesus and god for me to pray for something I want in life? For example, I prayed to Jesus for A nice bible of my own, and for a job, and I've asked to have a good woman that I can love and marry to be placed in my life. I am reading the bible each day and follow its teachings without deviation or interpretation. But I haven't figured out what I shouldn't ask from Jesus, I don't want to pervert the word of god or the love of Jesus by asking for material things, I will never ask for something shallow and meaningless like cars or wealth. But I want to stay connected to the lord and the world, I want to earn my place in life and in heaven, I can't tell if its wrong to ask the lord for help with finding work, a woman to love, and a bible.

God bless you
Thank you for your time chart.
It's pretty much like mine at first glance.
But the second part of your post I can't agree with.
You mentioned; "We cannot put the people in 70 AD and the prince in the future.
I partially agree with you there.
The people of the prince is future to Daniel but past to us.
The Prince that shall come is clearly going forward after the Messiah cut off and future of the Destruction of Jerusalem.
"And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come...."
You mentioned the usage of King Nebuchadnezzar as an example to Christ being the Prince of of Rome.
In the OT God raised up rulers and nations to chasten Israel and he called them his anointed, "They were raised to power for a certain purpose"
But he never called them his people.
Messiah the Prince associates Jesus with Israel connected by the word Messiah.
But often times in the book of Daniel prince is used consistently to identify the demonic source behind the scene influencing the concurring nations.
Daniel 10:13, and Daniel 10:20. for example.
Rome dominion never ended.
The prince that shall come represents them.
We see three world powers in Daniels images.
We see the princes behind those powers with the dreadful beast rising out of the last one. "Rome"
and he shall confirm a covenant for one week. If this is Jesus what part of the Gospels declare this 7 year covenant?
You mentioned earlier the 3.5 years before the crucifixion when Christ was baptized as the half way point of the 70th week.
How did you get 3.5 years and can you give details of the last 3.5 years?
I've shared my view earlier in my original reply to this post. .
Thanks in advance. .
God bless

The only ones ive heard ppl believe are implied but i havnt found any yet saying this before judgment?

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Eph 6:10-17 and in 2 Cor 10:3-4.
I understand it's a spiritual battle, a battle nonetheless.
- A Creature of God
Genesis 1:27
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
-Performance Issues
i.Low resistance to temptation
Genesis 3:13
"And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, the serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."
ii.High level of corruption
Genesis 6:12
"And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth."
Puzzle
I light of these issues, what is the meaning of "in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."?
King James version.
Witty inventions.
I think this can be read as man's clever ideas designs or inventions-products to help mankind.
