.....Real Faith is a pregnancy that results in Child birth.... Hebrews 11 : 1.. Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for ( the fetus )..The evidence of things not seen which is the fetus her baby...She gave birth to a man Child which is the H.G THE kINGDOM....But at that point she lays aside all the fundamentals of love making and conception..Birth pains etc...Her Child will lead her into all truth...the Kingdom....Unless ya receive the Kingdom as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in....Even in the natural when a woman is pregnant...she has the substance of things hoped the evidence of things not seen...We hope for a baby Christ the H.G. That Child of promise...The Kingdom ...But satan sows another seed in her which is the tare, Thus its the tare that tastes the of the good word of God...and is made white, but the tare falls away, the tare is he that returns to his vomit and the sow that returned to her mud....But Jesus said let them grow together till the harvest...At the harvest all the tares are gathered in bundles and burned...All this book of Hebrews is about FAITH A Spritual pregnancy...A HEAVENLY BIRTH...That New Covenant in his blood is a birthing Covenant
Well stated,
God bless you in all that you do.
Preachers learned to spiritualize the Bible in seminary.
Please consider this:
Every prophet in the OT speaks of 2 things coming in the future:
1. The wrath of God
2. The kingdom of God
This is the bulk of all OT prophecy. (I would suggest a read through Isaiah and Zechariah as a start)
Revelation is a revealing of these 2 things.
Since preachers spiritualize these things they don't know how to handle the truths laid out in Revelation.
The book IS understandable and IS a vision of the 2 doctrines laid out above.
You have God's judgment on Israel for their continued disobedience and God's setting up the earthly Kingdom that was promised to Israel all throughout the OT.
Preachers are taught today that Jesus is "ruling and reigning in our hearts" or the allegorical interpretation of God's promises to Israel.
Choose to believe the Bible literally and rightly divide the scriptures and Revelation can and does make sense.
II Tim 2:15 requires us to study it ALL.
The book would not be in there if we could not understand it.
You must study the book of Daniel alongside (or before) the book of revelation.
If ref to AD 70 being the fulfillment of Revelation.
There are hundreds of specific prophecies that do not jive with the destruction in AD 70.
This position is also a spiritualized interpretation of scripture to get rid of the kingdom for Israel and give it to the church today.
Revelation is to be taken just like you take every other verse in the Bible; literally
Jesus eventually marries Israel the New Jerusalem in Rev 21 just like all the OT says he will. (See Hosea just for one example)
Great question, and one millions of other Christians should be asking themselves.
If you have been chosen ,then you shall stand , not alone, but with them who are like you!
This one, would like to remove us, but cannot, since He is unable to judge the heart that guides the footsteps. The footsteps of us who have died, but yet live!
Died once, and have risen in new life, a new life found in the most important places and time, in the here and now!
This is the resurrection and the life He speaks of. A place so profound and unimaginable, that even the powers that be, are confounded! These things that A.I. cannot see or hear!
If you know these things then happy are you, that even the angels stand in amazement, as they watch the Holy One go forth conquering through the chosen ones! Be strong in the Lord, and abide in this His resurrection!
Repent and be Baptized
It is necessary but painful here to come to a realization that these attributes only exist for those who are His children. It is VERY clear from such verses as Isaiah 66 that the wicked will indeed be seen by all in their judgment; so clearly the righteous will in their state as well. We see the Transfiguration indicating that Moses and Elijah were seen (although Elijah was translated). John 8:56 seems to indicate that Abraham was aware of when Christ came as well. To be absent from the Body is present with the Lord. ( 2 Cor. 5:6). The indication of our presence as Kings and Priests ( Rev. 5:10; etal) and the prayers of the saints before God seems to show an awareness among those in God's Presence and even about what is going on in the earth ( Rev. 5:8).
We see David also when his son died saying that he would go to him; but his son couldn't come to him ( 2 Sam. 12:23). This is another clear indication of eventual reunion with God's people.
What will be something to look forward to is that we will be without sin. Therefore; our relationships truly will be enhanced to a greater degree and not inhibited due to all the issues we have in this life. To truly understand this; we need to have a mindset of service toward Christ; and part of our reward is to see the results of those sacrifices in time and resources building one another up in the faith and supporting those evangelizing today to fulfill the Great Commission. We are all adopted children and part of that great cloud of witnesses ( Hebrews 12:1-2). We shall see Him as He is and be raised in incorruption ( 1 Cor. 15:42). What a glorious day that will be!
Agape.
This is somewhat similar to the message that will come out in the Tribulation. The Rapture may be hid to some; but the graves being opened up worldwide surely will NOT be able to be hidden. Clearly; by the sixth seal there will be no atheists. Thus; no Gospel message will be necessary to explain to the world that Jesus is Lord; but a declaration of the Kingdom about to appear on earth; and the judgments to come. In a way these events are characteristic of the end of each dispensation; when judgment is pronounced or at the very least the end of a given Kingdom or civilization when their transgressions come to the full ( Genesis 15:16).
So, Satan did not grow the garden or plant the trees.
But Jesus did not dispute Satan's ownership.
Jesus redeems the earth during the tribulation and reigns over it in his earthly kingdom.
Satan is the prince and power of the air today.
There is a place called Hades that Jesus went to for three days and three nights. And in Hades, there were two compartments, as we know from Luke Chapter 16.
The Old Testament saints were there on one side, and those who rejected were on the other side and were in torment.
So Jesus, when He dismissed His Spirit on the cross, He went down and proclaimed the victory. And when He rose from the dead, many of the Old Testament saints appeared, and they revealed themselves to many in Jerusalem.
According to 1 Corinthians Chapter 15, we know that Jesus revealed Himself to people for 40 days. At one time, 500 people, as witnesses to the resurrection of Christ.
Prior to Abram (Abraham) in scripture there was no difference. Everyone was a Gentile or Nation
When God called Abram in Genesis he made several promises to him that you must understand for the Bible to make sense.
At the calling of Abram God put up a middle wall of partition between him and the Gentiles or "the nations"
This middle wall of partition is up throughout the Bible until we get to Ephesians 2.
Our Apostle Paul is the person that explains how the middle wall came down.
Since most of Christianity does not rightly divide the Bible, the middle wall is a doctrine they probably don't know.
The middle wall was a physical wall in the temple that Gentiles could not walk beyond.
This wall was also a spiritual division God put in place.
Gentiles had to go through Israel to get to God. (study proselytes in scripture)
This middle wall is still up in Matt - John and most of Acts. (It's also up in the Hebrew epistles)
At the stoning of Stephen Israel rejected the final opportunity to get their prophesied kingdom and God set them aside in blindness. (See Rom CH 9-11 for this explanation)
Today God is not recognizing Israel spiritually.
God is dealing with the world in grace.
Your references are from Romans, Paul our Apostle's book.
These verses prove God is not recognizing the "seed" or Abrahams seedline as important today, but HE WILL in the future.
God will finish what he started with Israel after he refines them during the tribulation or "Jacobs trouble" (see Isaiah 60-65)
Today there is only 2 groups, the lost (unsaved Jews and Gentiles) and the body of Christ. (Those saved under the gospel of the grace of God.
After the rapture, God will deal again with Israel when his prophetic timetable starts back up.
God finishes everything he promised to Israel after the tribulation when they are ALL saved. ( Rom 11:26)
Today the saved are the Body of Christ.
Most Christians will never get deep enough to ask these questions.
My advise is to stop spiritualizing the Bible.
I understand most of Christianity spiritualizes many things in the Bible.
Never use a allegorical interpretation unless it is an obvious allegory.
Like Jesus calling himself a "door" is an obvious allegory.
ONE means ONE, as in "1" or a single thing.
I give you one example to help you understand.
Eph 4:5 = one Lord, one faith, one baptism.
Paul says there is ONE BAPTISM.
You can find at least 12 different baptism's in scripture.
Jesus mentions 2 different baptisms in one verse. (Holy Ghost Baptism and Fire Baptism)
Jesus calls his death a baptism. Luke 12:50 (another dry baptism)
These baptisms are dry and don't involve water.
Paul states there is ONE baptism.
He means exactly what he says.
It's not living water or physical water.
Gal 3:27, I Cor 12:13, Eph 1:13-14, Rom 6:1-6
Paul is speaking of Spirit baptism.
Paul says ONE because its the only baptism active today in the age of grace.
Water baptism is the most divisive and argued over doctrine in the body of Christ.
Paul clears up ALL the argument over water baptism in one verse.
He tells us only Spirit baptism is active today. (No water baptism is active today)
If the church would follow their Apostle instead if Israel's program there would be no argument over water baptism.
Paul is the Apostle for the body of Christ.
I can show you over a dozen verses that tell us today to follow Paul.
The Bible is crystal clear that Jesus was ministering to Israel during his earthly ministry. ( Matt 10, 15, Rom 15:8)
The Bible is also clear that Paul was sent by Jesus himself to be the Apostle to the Gentiles.
Follow your Apostle Paul and let the words say what they say.
One baptism means exactly what it says- ONE
Rightly dividing the Bible is the only way the Bible can be properly understood.
Hope this helps

You can however be influenced by the devil who will try anything to separate you from God, including evil thoughts and images of things you shouldn't have been looking at or reading. My advice to you is to stay away from those things and play that God will help you to do as this verse commands, Philippians 2:5 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" You can do this by drawing close to God in constant prayer, reading and studying His Word. James 4:8 "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."
And remember always, Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
God bless and keep you!
God bless and keep you.
There is no man/woman single being hermaphrodite in Scripture. They are completely seperate. In creation, purpose, goals/reason for existence.
I believe you are confused because the Genesis account jumps from a general description of Gods creation of everything including "mankind" ( both man, Adam, and eve, woman, to the specifics of their seperate creation, and the fall.
Could also mean "his" belonging to, part of, etc.
Hopefully these are helpful
Where does it say Abraham never doubted? Romans 4:19-21,
Romans 4,
Where does it say Abraham doubted GOD? He harkened unto Sarai: Genesis 16,
Titus 1:15, 2Samuel 22:27,
GOD's WORD is true,
Let us be careful to study
Hopefully these are helpful
