There is nothing worse that a foolish preacher. If you witness this, challenge it, and stop it before it grows.
We must never become so humane that everything is allowed. For should the Love of God be about what we abhor, no one is to be spared.
With the last remnant of my voice I want to say man and man, woman and woman are an abomination unparalleled. They should never be parents. For the care of other people is lukewarm in such. How can they teach when they are unable to teach themselves?
God bless you all who want to live right with Almighty God in Jesus name, love you in Christ. Philemon 1-25
Every day i thank you all here on the web. It has become so important for me to share my heart with you. Live well and take care of yourself. And remember if we are not seen in this world, we will be seen in the coming :) i thank Him for the new life He has given in the Kingdom of the Holy Spirit.
Hallelujah praised be the Lord Jesus Christ who was and who is and who is to come. My Spirit rejoices this Sunday with joy and praise to Him who has finished everything for us!
Good luck and be blessed with word from Philemon 1:1-7
That is why I sense that Paul quoted the first part of 1 Corinthians 15:45, "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul" referring to Genesis 2:7. But the latter part, "the last Adam was made a quickening spirit", to which there was no direct OT reference in terms of 'another Adam', was Paul's belief that Jesus too had to come in perfection just as the first Adam, if there was to be any hope for us. But now, with the failure of the first & sin's consequences upon all, the Last would effect a Work that not only showed His perpetual purity but also be the God-given means of giving new life (resurrection) to dead souls through His Life & Death.
However, since you quoted 1 Peter 3:18-22 & then wrote, ""By like figure" is Peter's way of saying baptism and the resurrection of Christ is the antitype of Noah and his household being saved in the Arc", I then wrote that the 1st Peter reference wasn't directed to Christ being the antitype of Noah, but to the 'water'. That is, the "like figure" that Peter mentioned looks back to the flood of water & not to Noah, to which Peter then talks of water baptism: that any salvific component in it was not for the cleansing of the flesh but of imputing a pure conscience of the baptizee towards God. As said earlier, Noah & other aspects of this account can help us to see some glimpses of Christ, but I don't believe that Peter intended that in his passage.
May we be faithful in our prayers for the leadership of the USA as well as for your hand of mercy unto the conflict in Ukraine.

Praying for you tonight Genesis.
In these several years of difficulty personally longer & even for " traditional American churches" it has given many of us opportunity to look deeper into scripture, understanding & " tradition " within the fellowships & to ask why, are they doing this, & that. I hope, pray & believe through these trials a better, more biblical, believing Church will come forth.
Hopefully helpful
That king apparently named his son & Daniel the same referenced from Daniel 1,
Daniel 5, this next king appears to be the son of the king mentioned in Daniel 1,2,3,4, please note: Daniel 5:2,10,11,18,
Daniel 5:1-21,
Important Daniel 5:22,
Daniel 5:23,
Daniel 5:24-30,
Also prophecy fulfilled, about Babylon's defeat,
References to the treasure taken 2Kings 25:13-17, 2Chronicles 36:7,10,18, & other places in scripture
Daniel 6, Daniel lives through another king, supernaturally
Daniel 7, & 8, Daniel has a dream & visions, that are referred to as prophecy,
Both Daniel 7 & 8, take place during Daniel 5, or beforehand, while that same king was in rule.
Daniel 9, is during reign of Darius, note: Daniel 5:31, Daniel 9:1,
Daniel 9:2, the prophecy of punishment for Israel was at time of completion
Daniel 9:3-19, Daniel humbled himself
Daniel 9:20-27, divine intervention also prophecy explained
Daniel 9:24-26 Jesus CHRIST the MESSIAH,
Daniel 10,11, & 12 continue, Daniel 10, Cyrus king, another divine intervention & prophecy followed by Daniel fasting & prayer
Please notice Daniel 10:10-14, Daniel 10:18-21 continues through Daniel 11:1, he also strengthened Darius, note how it starts as a finishing thought & Darius was the king that was tricked into throwing Daniel into the lions, Daniel 6, distressed, alienated possibly then was he supernaturally confirmed & strengthened.
Daniel 11:2-45 continues prophecy from previous, into Daniel 12, all three chapters are following through.
Hopefully this was helpful
I believe that 1 Peter 3:19-22 is a chiasm (inverted parallelism) which is common in the Psalms and Hebrew expressions that are intended to be memorized / memorable. He is addressing suffering Christians and wants to encourage them to patiently endure that suffering by likening their experience to what God did with Noah, but shows that it happens in an inverted order. Here is how I see it laid out.
The like figure whereunto
(Salvation of a chosen few from a wicked generation by water)
wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
even baptism doth also now save us
(Preparation/Santification)
while the ark was a preparing,
(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection
(God's patience based on a chosen one)
when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah,
of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;
(Vindication)
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient,
angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
I believe Peter's audience needed to endure through days that he wanted to liken to the days of Noah for encouragement. Baptism is a source of encouragement and the easiest parallel to draw from the passage, but I believe he intended his audience to draw more encouragement than just that. If you don't agree and think I'm pushing this text beyond what it is meant to say, or if you think I've grouped things illogically, lets discuss it.
We're all trying to help others with the hard sayings.
I actually enjoy the Gospels more. When I see the differences in the disciples, it helps you see that God knows we have really good stuff inside of us. There is always info someone can benefit from some one on one. All you have to do is invite Holy Spirit to teach you what something means, to you for today. Say it every day.
I been in street evangelism and my perspective is geared more in that direction. Humbly, I don't know all of the history of other cultures and countries. But there are people in here who do, and would share it with seekers.
All are welcome at Jesus's Table. We dine on the Bible and pass it along to those who want more. I like those passages of Jesus eating with the Disciples. We can still do that :D. There is no limitation on APPETITE.
Daniel 1:4, the children taken capacity,
Daniel 1:5-16, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, & some of Exodus covers the foods that Jewish children were by GOD's Laws not suppose to eat, it was wisdom
Daniel 1:17-21 stood before the king, seems to say they stood by the king in service & advisers.
Daniel 2,
1st let's look at threat Daniel 2:5, if he had made all the young boys eunuchs & Jeremiah 52, would have caused fear.
Daniel 2:1-13, just like Daniel 1:20, shows that king was seeking every type of teaching but they all fail
Daniel 2:14-24, GOD ALMIGHTY is Awesome & amazing!! Psalms 44:22,
Daniel 2:25-26, sad reminder that Daniel was of the captives of Judah, also the king had changed his name. (significantly there are Babylonian records with that name so it's interesting it's noted in Bible)
Daniel 2:27-30 :to GOD be the Glory
Daniel 2:31-45 the dream of the king & interpretation , with much symbolism
Daniel 2:46,48, different later, Daniel tells that king's son, no: Daniel 5:17,
Daniel 2:47 Glory to GOD
Daniel 2:49, interesting note of favor also seen in chapter 1,
Daniel 3, looks like the king misunderstood or took that "gold" interpretation out of context from symbolic "golden head" from dream Daniel 2:31,32,38,
Daniel 3:6 threats again, & rage Daniel 3:13,19,20,21,22,23
Daniel 3:8,12,16,17,18 just like Daniel 1, didn't want to turn from GOD's Laws
Daniel 3:24-27 GOD's amazing deliverance
Daniel 3:28 to GOD be Glory
Yet threats again of brutal violence Daniel 3:29,
Daniel 3:30 promotion again, through obedience to GOD
Daniel 4, told through that king when GOD humbled him,
Daniel 4:18,19, used name he gave Daniel
Who is Arcturus and his sons?
Noah enduring the 40 days of rain could have been over 109 years of rain, or 1 hour.
May God bless you and your work

GOD promises us wisdom if we ask: James 1:5-8, Matthew 7:7,
Test also 1John 4, Matthew 4, Mark 1:13 -, Luke 4,
There were many times in my life already that I had thought I would never see or hear from a friend again. GOD with HIS amazing Love & compassion several times gave me my heart's desire by letting me encounter them again even over 2,000 miles away. Etc. Multiple times. Trust in The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, HE is faithful & Trustworthy!! Always! :) If you feel burden in your heart for them, maybe GOD is calling you specialy to pray for them. Sometimes I or someone else will get a specific burden for someone & their concerns will sometimes be familiar to things specificly with more understanding, compassion ect. Hopefully that makes sense
I agree with Brother Adam.
We have to be consistent with scripture, There is no where in scripture where they calculates days as a thousand years. If so Adam would be 1000 x 360 x 930. Wow! Those would be very long days. Adam would have been 334,800,000. years old when he died.
But we can't ignore the second half of 2 Peter 3:8.
"and a thousand years as one day."
That takes us in the opposite direction! Which makes a thousand years very short.
Adam probably would be a few seconds old when he died.
So which half of 2 Peter 3:8 do we use?
So let's examine that scripture again and put it in its context taking it from verse 3 on to verse 9. and you will see the emphasis is on Gods patience, and longsuffering, Not the length of days.
2 Peter 3:3-9. Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; BUT IS LONGSUFFERING TO US-WARD, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE.
I hope this helps.
God bless.
Well stated.
God bless.
