can god die (Jesus died )

Jerry,

I concur with Brother Chris on Bible Hub. I have it on my phone. You can download it for free from the app store. I have a few other free apps on my phone. Since we carry our phones everywhere we go, we can have access to the bible and many other study resources at any time. I love Bible Hub, but I think my most favorite free app that I have on my phone is one called Logos Bible. It has a library of over 300 full books, all free, bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, lexicons, and several other study tools. You may want to check that one out too!

Dianne,

I have never read anything from E.W. Bullinger. I looked online and noticed there are a few free PDF downloads of his material. I'll take a look (Lord willing), thanks for sharing that. As far as researching the original language (Koine Greek), I've learned to read Greek. I own a Greek New Testament (Textus Receptus) and I read from it from time to time the same as I would read English.

Now, I don't understand every single word, but I don't understand every English word either! But thanks to Brother Chris, my English vocabulary has expanded, and I have to thank him for that. But unlike Hebrew and English, Greek is such an exact language. It is almost impossible to come up with more than one meaning on what the text is saying. I think God knew what He was doing when He chose that language for the teaching and doctrine section of the Bible (NT).

I wish it were a requirement for everyone going into the ministry to have a thorough knowledge of the Greek language. I think we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today if that were the case. As I said, English is such a general language and that's why there are so many denominations, it's people cannot agree on what their English Bibles are saying because it's a general language and words can have multiple meanings. But not so with the Greek.

I love reading and studying Greek. It has helped me tremendously in my understanding of what the English text is saying. I have a ways to go, and I don't claim any special knowledge or understanding over anyone else. I'm just saying that learning the language has been a blessing to me in my study.

Delia,

Amen! "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." ( Revelation 22:20).

Dianne,

I never sensed that you were disputing what I shared at all. I also agree with what you said in that "a true atheist will tell you they don't believe in any so-called control power." I agree with that. But who is a true atheist? By the literal meaning of the word, which I was sharing, it literally means "Without God." That tells me that even a person who believes in God but has never been born of His Spirit, no Spiritual birth, meaning Christ does not dwell in them, that person is without God. And that fits the literal definition of the word. That person is no different than the person who flat-out rejects God. The only difference is one says they believe and the other says they don't believe. But they are both atheists (Without God), at least according to the literal meaning of the word.

I think we would both agree that a person who dies in the state of being an atheist will not spend eternity with our Lord. Why? It's because that person never had God in their life. That's what it means to be an atheist. That person is A-THEOS, without God. But the person who says they believe in God but never surrenders their life to Christ, if they die in that state of never surrendering their life to Jesus Christ, they have also died without God, and they are no different than the other person, both being atheist.

I just wanted to share the literal meaning of the word atheist and where the word comes from. The literal definition is "Without God." So that can apply to both a person who believes in God just the same as it does to a person who refuses to believe in God.

Again, it is correct to say that a person who does not believe in God is an atheist. That is a true statement. But it is also correct to say that the person who believes in God, but is void of His indwelling Spirit, it's also correct to say that person is without God, and therefore also an atheist. Hopefully, I am not confusing anyone.

Hi Jerry. If you're looking for an 'all-in-one' website, I would highly recommend Bible Hub. It has many whole Bible commentaries & especially Hebrew & Greek translations/interlinear, which I use often. Of the commentators listed there, I recommend Benson, Poole, Ellicott. The Lord bless & guide you in the study of his precious Word.

I would start with the new testament, starting with the Gospels, and continue on through the epistles to Revelations, as the Gospels are about Jesus and his salvation on the cross, and the rest of the new testament is about the spreading of that message to the rest of the world. Take your time when you read, sometimes I'll read over a verse or chapter a few times for the message to sink in, only my opinion and as Dianne wrote it's all profitable, God bless you on your journey.

YES! he is coming back soon praise god almighty

Hello Joshua. You might receive a more useful response if you give the name of your city/State where you live as there could be someone on here that could help. I'm in Australia - that could be a little far away for you, I suspect.

From what I've read, most of your spiritual worth us wanting. The arrogance of ego surrounds you and all you say. You are a leader of one, master of none. Take the reflections advise and turn inward, soy.

Hi Jerry.

J vernon mcgee. Has a Good Commentary if that's what you are looking for.

I hope that helps.

God bless

Victor Don't see that written there.

Jesse I noted you research original language usage, a very inspiring piece of work is E.W. Bullingers Figures of speech in the Bible. Remarkable detail he outlines over 400 used in scripture.

Julie If you are interested in a very detailed biblical study of the stars look into E.W. Bullingers witness of the stars fantastically inspiring piece of research.

Hiya Spencer sorry but its not Christ that births the Church ,Its the Church humanity where that good seed is sown, being bornagain of an incorruptible seed. He that sower the good seed is the son of man ( Christ Jesus ) the Bridegroom.The Church is the Bride, Ya remember when they asked John about Christ and his disciples, John replied he that has the Bride is the bridegroom . Thus its the Church that is gonna give birth to a Baby Christ Which is the H.G. The Child of PROMISE THE Son of Man. Mankinds fruit unto God via that good seed the living WORD . My lil children of whom i travail in birth till Christ is formed in you ( the Church.) The Bride, thats y Jesus is saying Whosoever receiveth one such child in my name receiveth me ,Thus there is a baby Christ in our near furture, She brought forth a man child that is gonna rule all nations , Which is the H.G. Thus its Christ Jesus who is the father of the H.G.. Thats y Isaiah calls Christ everylasting Father,He IS the Fathers of Spirits via his seed ,his WORD HIS BREATH . Thats y he is saying that which is born of the spirit is spirit thats the H.G the Child of Promise. Unless ya receive the KINGDOM OF GOD as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in

does jesus have a god

Take no thought 1 Timothy 2:14 is your proof God Bless.

Take no thought You'll have to explain the point your trying to communicate a little better.

Ralph Strictly my point of view church epistles are addressed to the church of God, then the gospels. I'm sure you will get other perspectives on this. p.s. its all profitable. God Bless

Jesse My apology bro wrong direction.

Take no thought 1 Timothy 2:14 is your proof God Bless.

S Spenser , I think maybe I used too many words in order to get my point across , my point is that adding to God's words and thereby creating doubt and uncertainty ,gave the serpent (sin in the flesh ,disobedience to God's simple commandment ) , a foot in the door and he was able to lead Eve astray . I hope I made myself clear this time , sorry for any confusion .

Jesse I apologize for my reply thought it through answer is Eve.

Take no thought.

1 Timothy 2:14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. I believe the issue with them was them Knowing that they were naked. " SIN EXPOSED " " " "UNCOVERD." But that's a separate Issue.

God bless

Hi julie There's a study that was extensively done that the description in Rev. 12:1 Is the Exact desciption astronomically of The Star of Bethlehem in its location in the heavens that the magi saw and brought them to the messiah. The star of bethlehem was actually a massing of 4 planets in the constellation of libra. The magi were astronomers who were in depth at studying astronomy, not astrology. Psalm 19:1-6. God originally named all the heavens including constellations. There is not enough room here to get into more detail. They saw the sign in the heavens His Star He who was Born King of the Jews. Some food for thought.

Hi Ralph , you can start any where you want , the first few years of reading I just started at Genesis and read straight through to Revelation , now I read a couple of old testament books and then one new testament , I'm sure others will reply with some good advice ,it's up to you , enjoy .

Thanks Brother Jesse.

I've heard J vernon Mcgee define that as well. That's Enlightening.

An Atheist and Hypocrite is one of the Same.

God bless.

How come you can be sure without any scriptural evidence but I can't be ?

Jesus is coming so soon
