    Covenants part 2

    The results of our actions as His covenant people; therefore still would (from the way I see it) involve blessings or cursings for us individually; and perhaps as a society at large much as it did with ancient Israel. There are; of course territorial promises that are different for us today as Americans; for instance. What isn't different is the same demons which are running amuck that were around for millennia. We are; ultimately in league with Christ or with the darkness. When we look at those such as Ananias and Sapphira we see how in an extreme example God can deal with those who are in the confessing church. It can't be said for certain if they truly knew the Lord; but it shows in God's house and His presence we had better take our responsibilities seriously.

    He has called us as a peculiar people to be called out from the rest of the world. The Corinthian church was warned that those who took communion unworthily were either sick or had died ( 1 Cor. 11:29). He does chastise all those He loves; and for the tares; often they are seemingly naive of anything they are doing against God or the results that are sometimes obvious to others. A striking example of the hypocrisy of some prosperity mega churches is when the preacher himself who is declaring healings of others themselves gets sick. It is possible; I suppose for that to happen; but how come no one is praying for them?

    No one seems to indicate that perhaps because of greed they are reaping what they sow. It isn't always sin that causes sickness; but for those obviously in sinful lifestyles it shouldn't be too surprising if it happens. Of course those preaching the health and wealth gospel will never (seemingly) indite THEMSELVES as the culprit even after accusing others of not being blessed by "sowing seed" financially.

    As far as blessings are concerned; those families that stick it out with marriages are often not seen as having the blessings of God in their lives.

  • Selasi - 1 year ago
    Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?"

    And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

    from this verse can one say God lied that they would die?

    or were we created to never die in the beginning?
  • Laird on Revelation 5 - 1 year ago
    I was always taught that we are not robots but that we have free will. That God doesn't just push a button and we respond. Well, in chapter 5 it says that when the Lamb takes the book out of the hand of the Father all heaven AND earth give praise at that time. Well, if one is here upon earth at that time, and not being all robots, what will motivate that response? I believe that the same trumpet sound that John the Revelator heard, and the thunder and lightning that followed when that very scene was revealed to him will be heard and seen by those here on earth at that time. The trumpet sound will bring all safely to a halt and then that scene will be revealed in real time and those on earth will witness Jesus taking the book out of the hand of the Father and opening the first seal and thus motivated to respond with the praise mentioned. Thus, there will be if you will an official beginning of the Tribulation. Those on earth will KNOW it has started.

  • Marlene on Genesis 37 - 1 year ago
    Genesis 37:23 Strong's 5646 (coat of) many breadths: I found a question about this, often translated as "many colors" on Quora. The inquiry was about how this word differs in many translations. Another rendering is of many stripes. I have heard that this might refer to comprising strips of different animals' pelts. Whichever the case, it was a special coat or garment and the brothers were jealous because it separated him from them. He was his favorite son and had been treated as special compared to his brothers. They dipped it in goat's blood to take back to the father as a plot to convince him that Joseph had been killed by an animal. The quora question wanted an explanation regarding the various renderings. I tried to find this discussion in commentaries but failed. Perhaps someone else on this forum could give a more thorough explanation for me to present to the person who posted the pertaining question.

    My circumstances at the moment do not allow me to go to church on Saturday the sabbath because I am temporarily in a rehabilitation center learning to walk again after about a month stay in the hospital for medical reasons. I wanted to know while I am not keeping the sabbath holy. I do read and listen to my Bible on my smartphone. I hope to be discharged from said rehab place in another 3 months or so. I wanted to know if I am still sinning against God

    Part two: The true gift of Prophecy

    The question remains; what exactly could be greater works than Christ promised to the Apostles and by default; to His church today? Clearly; when we look at the FRUIT of so called "healing ministries" and other modern "Prophets" we see little resemblance to the early church. Surely; if and when a true miracle does occur God does not advocate media promotion as occurs much of the time today. Since this is focused on prophecy rather than healing; we only need to look at scriptures to debunk those who aren't 100 percent accurate today. It IS true that even with certain scriptures; there is a time factor for things to occur; and the choices of individuals could affect the outcome (such as preparing for famine with Agabus's proclamation; and Paul's decision to go on to what eventually was his death; but appears to have come at a much later date). It is also true that unless the Lord states specifically there can be appeal to the Lord and He can "repent" in some sence from a decreed action. This is most clear with all things that happen now before the 21 judgments of the Tribulation are released (starting with Christ Himself opening the first seal). The restrainer is holding back for now.

    The biggest issue is those whose hearts are far from God and simply have vain imaginations; or want to "tickle ears" as many false teachers do. (2 Tim.4:3). When we don't have mega church evangelists risking their lives and being martyred oftentimes for their faith we are not seeing real believers; by and large. Christ said that ALL who live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. ( 2 Tim. 3:12; jus a few verses earlier). It may not mean severe physical trials but certainly disqualifies many who depend on funding from their associations with questionable individuals or organizations. Like any TRUE gift; "blazing forth" the message often is unwise; as Christ told many not to do until He was meant to be revealed ( Matt. 9:30).

    John 1:1

    "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

    Who is the Word?

    John 1:14-15 says the Word is Jesus. Does anyone deny that the Word is Jesus?

    If someone believes John 1:14, then do they believe John 1:1

    "...the Word was God."

    "...[Jesus] was God."

    JESUS.

    WAS.

    GOD.

    John 1:1

    This is God's Word.

    Some here are saying "Jesus was NOT God" despite John 1:1 clearly saying Jesus WAS God. I'd like to know exactly how someone can believe in all other verses of the Bible except this one? If something WAS something, that seems to offer little room for interpretation. It means it's the same, does it not? So, if something WAS something, how does someone twist this into believing it says something WAS NOT something?

    It then must be asked: since it takes so much effort to take a sentence something WAS something to turn it into: something WAS NOT something, what is the true underlying motive here? Does God's Word carry the most weight and influence or does something else?

    This is eerily similar to Gen 3:4 where satan denied what God said and claimed that they shall NOT surely die. Satan loves opposites and this seems to have his signature, does it not?

    I welcome any perspective I'm missing, but do not consider anything other Bible verses as valid evidence. God's Word is all that matters and because there's already numerous verses supporting that Jesus is God like John 1:1 then that is what is true. Lastly, why not just pray and ask God directly to know the truth? Genuinely ask!

  • Human Anatomy Declares the Wisdom of God - 1 year ago
    Moses wrote Genesis; dictated by God.

    We know God moulded Adam from soil; Eve was made from Adams rib.

    If we will go look at BONE ANATOMY, differences between Male and Female skeletons; you will see several differences. Male leg bones are stronger. Hips narrower.

    Backs stronger.

    The female pelvis OPENS with contractions during birth. It opens enough for a baby's skull to pass out of her womb. Her breasts don't make cows milk. It is the most perfect liquid for a baby: doesn't cause allergies, vitamin fortified, sweetened Not by white sugar. It's already sterile and the proper temperature. Lactose makes newborns drowsy.

    Who did that? Did not God carefully create us these ways?
  • Every one of us At one Time Was in Our Mothers Womb - 1 year ago
    Psalms 139:13

    For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

    Luke 1:31

    And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

    Job 31:15

    Did not HE that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

    Galatians 1:15

    But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

    Psalms 22:10

    I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

    Psalms 22:9

    But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

    Psalms 127:3

    Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is HIS mmm

    Exodus 13:2

    Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: IT IS MINE.

    Ecclesiastes 11:5

    As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

    Jeremiah 1:5

    BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

    Do we get a free pass on Judging Gods Workmanship? Because this child was born blind, this child was a rapists seed?

    A better question: do we judge God for not making us the definition of perfection, because: our nose is too big, our ears too small, stubby fingers_not long and tapering?

    Who is in charge of our beginnings, the variables?

    Only a Loving God, only Our Savior, can look into a womb and see perfection, possibilities, future of the next generation.

    If all we see are imperfections, no one would be born; given a chance to make the world a better place.

    Instead of abortion clinics, why not sterilization instead?

    God said in Deuteronomy_Choose Life that You and Your Seed shall Live. Our God is very very Wise.
