A thoughtful reading of the gospels makes us aware of the fact that Jesus called Himself the Son of Man whenever He talked about His ministry, the redemption He was about to accomplish, and His coming this is such a frequent occurrence, it is very important that we understand what Jesus meant by this designation.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus referred to Himself as the Son of Man (Humanity or Mankind) when the scriptures say that He was born of a woman? How does this fit together? We are often puzzled when two statements seemingly don't fit together, but as we grow in spiritual knowledge we marvel at the wisdom of God, the unity of the scriptures, and the unity that is ours in the Spirit!

Our first image of God is in the earthy, natural sense. We can only get a true image of God in Christ. In the gospel of John, we find many instances where Jesus described His spiritual being by using the personal pronoun "I". He said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the lifeI am the door of the sheepI am the good shepherdI am the bread of lifeI am the resurrection and the lifeI am the true vineI am the light of the world. I am from above." ( Jn. 14:6; 10: 7; 10:11,14; 6:35; 11:25; 15;1; 8:12; 8:23) By saying, "I am," He introduced and emphasized the true essence of His being. He was not in the process of becoming - this is who He always has been and is and will be. These characteristics also describe the very essence of the being of God. Since God does not change, all these facets of His being are in perfection in Him. There cannot be any increase or decrease; there is no corruption in Him; His life always is, and it never changes. Since Christ's life was a perfect representation of God's invisible life, He is also called the Son of God.

I am a old Christian Woman as a Child of my Precious Father and Lord Jesus Christ as one ! im here studying and came across these comments so I am trying it out....im not a facebook or media I believe the cell phones have rob our children and people minds from GOD! A true real honest relationship....not even good at this I love my Bible living in God through Christ Jesus . sorry im not good at this i hope you can understand me. Its or time seek the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness first and riches and glory all in Jesus Christ Who Father has given me over to bare fruit and live in Him thru Spirit of TRUTH and LIFE is JESUS.......BIBLE < PRAYING> and our attitude and behavior is transformed life ....therefor those in Christ are in a new creation and all old is pass{oldself} and {newself} all in Christ as we die daily JESUS is our Master that owns us due to the Father has given us over to Jesus but some are still His......Jesus said nobody or nothing can snatch us out of Jesus Christ hand but my Father is greater and nobody or things can snatch us out of His hand.Amen....

I stand in prayer with you/God will always make the way ,Amen

The bible brings so much peace and joy to me, I love it LOL

It's in the morning. Thank you so much for your prayers; I really appreciate it!

2 Corinthians 12:2 The third heaven is our eternal home as children of the Most High God. It's the city where the Lamb is the light, where tears are never shed and goodbyes are never uttered. It is the dwelling place of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ and the sons of God. It is spiritual unseen. It is Our real home. Luke 17:21

Hosea 14:4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

God will still love you and heal you even when you seem that he is far from you or you dont deserve it because you backslide. Lay hold unto his promises and his unmeasuarable love for us.

Recieve what he offers freely.

OK Stephanie

I will be praying for you tomorrow. Is your appt. in the morning or afternoon?

Dear Alisa,

Keep me updated about your grandma.

To be "confirmed" in the Anglican or other churches means that one has been instructed in biblical beliefs concerning salvation by Jesus. This instruction also entails learning basic beliefs of the Christian faith. Upon completion of these classes one is asked to make to profess faith in God and salvation through Jesus. those who choose to confess are considered confirmed in the faith.

If you grandma was 30, she was at an age to really consider the beliefs taught to her. So, our hope is that she indeed did desire to know about the Christian faith and in so doing, she learned of Jesus and believed.

Did you get a chance to see her or speak with her yet?

Hello, I am very much new to posting comment on this website, so I didn't know where to exactly ask this question here since I don't know myself... - little background info; I have been in the walk of being a Christian for 3 years I believe? Or 2..I mostly believe this because I was dealing with wickedness around said time that I chose to be a christian..- I feel as though I don't think, it's good to count that year as me being a Christian in whole even though I strongly believed Christianity to be completely 100% right.. - very much so, I screwed myself over..around said 2 half years.

Now that I put that out there ; um the question is this; how do I pray after a nightmare? ..I have had nightmares but they don't come a lot like they used to when I was just a child..right now as in my adult years I didn't get them like that - they completely stopped to decress as years passed by, me reading the king James Bible, listening to folks like Paul washer, living waters, etc..trying to stick to Christians that know of the walk to preaching it as well..- I have stumbled upon too many catholics - just basically lukewarm..that it got a bit hard for me to know some things, I would love to rely on the Bible but I am not good at finding such questions being answered in the Bible; at times i need to search them up or ask my sibling since he knows more then me a bit on such topics I am ignorant on with the Bible.

But yeah..I have been having either 1 out of the blue lustful dreams - just i cannot tell how many all i know is that it's less not like hard-core and some are just strange dreams that i don't get it..not like bad just weirdo dreams lol. Then comes the concerning one's that I have as well as the lustful dreams uh there the ones that I think I get it? But don't and those are like ones in which something is with me in my dream..I know this because this thing shows up, and I just usually say "nope, bye" xD..but it's not much like it used to randomly pop when I was child.

Dear Carolyn,

Are you saying that there are three things you leaned about creation? If so, what did you learn about creation?

If you are asking others what they learned about creation, please let us know so that we can reply better to your post.

God bless!

Hi Anointed vessel,

Yes, the power comes through the Holy Spirit in Jesus' name, Evil spirits are not something one who has not the Holy Spirit should deal with. They can do horrific mental and physical harm. We see in Matthew Jesus gave the power to the disciples against them. We also see in Acts 19:13-16 what can happen and even worse to those who are not strong in their faith and have not the Holy Spirit. Believe me, it is something you do not want to deal with.

God bless,

Hi Roy, Before the flood the diet was only fruit of the vine and herbs of the field. After the flood animal meat was allowed, but only clean animals, as the unclean animals feed off other animals (alive or dead) and can cause us to get diseases as a result. They lived hundreds of years before the flood and the Bible tells us that we are given up to 80 years for a life span (anything over is a plus, right?) At different stages of history that has been shorter or longer due to famines, disease, and war, but the Bible clearly states in Psalms 90:10 how long a lifespan for man. A Hebrew year was 360 days. Hope this helps, Cissi

Hi Steven, It is a simple process. Surrender your heart (life) to the Lord and ask Him to please enter your heart (through the Holy Spirit) and live and guide you to live the life that He created you to live. Give up your old way of life (things that He convicts your heart of that are not good for you)(say bad music and He will give you good music to listen to, Philippians 4:8 is the best guideline for new believers) and seek His will for your life by reading your Bible daily, praying and singing songs of praise and let Him lead you to a great group of believers that you can fellowship with on a regular basis. Just ask Him to help you do what is right every day and you will be following the path He has for you! Father, I ask you to especially be with Steven as He has chosen to follow you, I know it might not be easy for him, but I do know that you love Steven sooo much that you sent Jesus to take away his sin and have paid the price so that Steven can be free to live and make a wonderful difference in the world today! Amen Steven may the blessings of the Father and Jesus be upon you today. Welcome to the family, brother!

Hello Anointed vessel.

I believe that it is God alone who casts out demons. For believers, it is in Jesus' name that demons are cast out not by our efforts or personal faith. In Luke 1:1-2 Jesus gave his disciples power and authority to cast out demons and cure diseases when He sent out the 12 to preach the kingdom.

When Jesus sent out the 70 disciples in Luke 10 they returned to Jesus and rejoiced, saying. "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name". (verse 17). I suggest reading this chapter. In verse 19-20 Jesus gives the disciple the authority to trample the enemy, but goes on to say "Nevertheless do not rejoice in tis, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

It is certainly a praiseworthy event when someone is released from demonic control or healed from a disease because the person delivered has been set free and now enjoys relief and blessing from God. But Jesus says that it is more important and blessed to be heaven bound than to have this authority to cast out demons or heal the sick. The proclamation of the gospel and the reception of the gospel are higher things, but certainly relieving a person of demonic possession, influence, and oppression or healing someone who is ill are worthy things to do in Jesus' name. They bring glory to Him and also provide an avenue for the gospel to reach these people and for them to respond positively to it for their salvation.

Hi Paul, Jesus is in the OT. John 1:1-3 tells you He was the Word in the beginning with God and He was God and verse three says nothing was created without Him and Hebrews 1:10 clears that up well. Elohim is the plural in Genesis and they created them (Adam and Eve) in their image. But the best verse I like is 1 Corinthians 10:4 (which is about them moving around in the wilderness) and the Rock that led them was Christ. You can also know that it was He who led them by the pillar of fire and by cloud was Him also. It all points to that saving relationship that He put into place for all of this creation and it's inhabitants. Hope this helps. Cissi

Thank you for sharing , keep up the good work , I always enjoy your posts .

Yes, Blancaster,

It seems that Lucifer was extremely splendid in appearance and musicality and wisdom. He let all of this "go to his head" and became proud, envious of God being better than himself, and coveted what was only God's to have (worship, pre-emminence, power, authority, rulership) He wanted to be top dog and thought he could attain it. He used his wisdom to seduce the other angels to follow hi rather than God. How long God allowed him to pursue this course before stripping him of his position, duties, and place in heaven is unkown. We do not know if God admonished him and urged him to repent or not. But obviously there was a period of time since he needed to convince other holy angels to forsake God and follow him. When God thought that Lucifer's time in heaven was up and his sin was beyond repair, He judged Lucifer and cast him to earth.

Whether this happened before or after the creation narrative of Genesis 1:3 and beyond is unknown.

Hi Ruth, my understanding is that anything that you spend most of your time and money on can be an idol. Let's face it praying to wood or stone will not answer your prayers. Neither will hours spent on FB and other media whether it is TV, your phone or Pinterest. The Father and Jesus want a personal relationship with you. Pray to them and talk to them through out your day. Go to Him first about all your worldly issues with your whole heart and you will see great things happen in your life. I am not saying the other things are bad, but if they are all you think about and do, they may have become an idol in your life. Remember Philippians 4:8 and not to put any wicked things before our eyes. As you spend time in your Bible, you will see exactly how He wants to be worshipped...in Spirit and in Truth. Hugs, Cissi

Well said, Rich.

Hello Roy,

Thank you for your testimony. I have been a believer all of my life and I am now 65. Last night I was thinking about my testimony being a boring one in comparison to others who lived many years in unbelief. I don't have knowledge nor experience of being far from God in rebellion and unbelief and then coming to faith. But as I thought more about this, I just have to admit that I have had a blessed life to be called to Jesus at so young of an age. I grew up in a believing home and was taught who Jesus was and what He did for my salvation as early as I can remember. I embraced this truth eagerly and believed in Jesus deeply as a child and this faith remained in me throughout my life. I am thankful for how God called me to Him. He spared me a lot of grief.

In response to your post, I just want to say that I do not think that God liked mankind less and less the more they sinned before the flood nor after. Our sin grieved Him and He hated our sins, but the Bible clearly tells us across the pages of Scripture, that God loves mankind and it never changes. Yet some will receive His salvation through His grace and mercy and believe in Jesus, and many more will reject Him. But He still loves each person He creates the same. The difference to us is that those who do not believe in Him will be recipients of His holy wrath in the judgment, spending eternity without Him, and those who believe will receive His favor in redemption and spend eternity with Him.

But God's love for mankind does not lesson because we sin. Our fellowship with Him is impaired when we sin, but that is our doing, a lack of love for Him on our part, not a reduction of love to us from Him on His part.

Hope this helps.

Please God allow Stella's son Mark come to have opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as his Savior. I pray that Mark's spiritual eyes to be open to see the Light of You Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit guide him to You I ask in Jesus Christ name!!
