    GAUDENCIO

    Should we believe God created Adam and Eve not knowing what was going to happen? Many say it was free will they had a choice. If that, do we imply God is not in control. The first Adam was a figure of him that was to come. ( Romans 5:14) A shadow indeed! There are two Adams in the Bible The first Adam was made a living soul (being) the last Adam a quickening spirit. ( 1 Corinthians 15:44-49)

    "The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven". Here we have Jesus as the second man, we know He was not the second man on earth. 1John.3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

    Was the first Adams purpose to start humankind or the start of the plan that Jesus, the last Adam finished that Satan could not see. There is very little in the Bible about when Satan rebelled but we know by the book of Job the angels were before this world was created. ( Job 29:3-7)

    I am sure some will disagree but I believe God placed the first Adam to do His will and it was part of God's plan that was before this world was. ( 1 Peter 1:19-20) All humans today are descendants of Adam due to the flood, the eight people on the ark came from Adam.

    God bless,

    I have been on this site for a long time and now I see more and more people with there own ideas about the Bible and everything else and making it harder and harder to understand. It is so simple! If you are a God fearing person and a believer in God and his Son Jesus and you live by Gods laws then you are going to Heaven and if you don't you are going the other way when you die. Why make it so hard to understand when it is so simple? Even the Bible is easy to understand.
  • Norman Walker - 4 years ago
    Like I have said before. All it takes for me to be a believer is just look at the earth and all the different kinds of life and then look at the sun that has burned at the perfect temp. to keep us alive and has never needed fuel from the day it was created! How many things do you know that burn and never need fuel. I do not know of any! This world we live in did not just come from nothing and evolve it was created and I believe God created it! What do you all think about this?
  • Norman Walker - 4 years ago
    I have a question that I think I may know the answer but not sure? How do you explain the bones of huge beasts that they say were on the earth millions of years ago? I think that it is very possible that God may have put them here millions of years ago and then changed everything to what it is today? Just would like to know what you think about it? Thanks

    Gigi,

    If I may add another perspective.

    James 2:10 says, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of the whole thing."

    But look what it says in Verse 11. It says "For he that said." He didn't say for the scriptures say. It says for he that says, do not commit adultery, said also, do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if you should kill, you are become a transgressor of the law.



    How does that work? The law represents the holiness of God, His complete holiness. Romans 3:20 says through the law we have the knowledge of sin.



    If I keep the whole law, and yet I violate one law, I have sinned, and I'm less than who God is. Well, that's a no-brainer, right?



    If I think I'm pretty good and I ought to get into heaven because I do pretty good things and I'm not that bad of a person, well, how do I stack-up to God?



    Am I as holy as God is? Well, I wouldn't say that. But that's what a sinner is, somebody who has fallen short of the glory of God.



    And so the commandments were representative of God's holiness. So if you broke one, you're a sinner, you've broken them all, because even one sin, you have fallen short of who God is. And that is how he shows us how sinful we are and what sin is.



    So the emphasis is on the person, not the law. The same person that says thou shalt not commit adultery, also said thou shalt not kill. And if you do one of those things, then you have violated the one who gave the law.

    When we sin, we have sinned against the law giver and that's what makes us guilty of all, no matter how big or small we in our human minds might view sin!

    My wife and I are trying to buy our 1st home using my VA benefits as a disabled Vet, but we have been denied multiple times because of some late payments and collections from a few years back. We currently are renting and have until Jan 2022 to find a house or buy the one we are currently in before the owners put it on the market. Please Pray for God to grant us wisdom, and help us find the right lender and be approved or grant us the credit needed to be approved to use my VA loan.

    Greetings in Christ JESUS, Robert

    Thank you for your reply. Reading the content of your post, honestly I'm not convinced of your theory because in

    Revelation 11, the two candlesticks (for me two Churches) standing before the God of the earth, as being two

    witnesses, they both will receive Power or be enpowered to shut heaven (to close the Dispensation of Grace or to finish

    it), that it rain not in the days (1.260 days) of their prophecy. And both have Power over waters (over peoples, and

    nations, and multitudes of all tongues - Gentile peoples) to turn them to blood; And to smite the earth (earth here can

    only be the place or nation of the birth of the Beast of earth who has two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a Dragon-

    Revelation 13:v.11-18- a false lamb of course, with two horns) , yeah, to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as

    they will.

    I see in advance that there will be two Beasts on the Earth in near future, they are:

    1 - the Man Beast of sea, with his headquarter in Europe-Rome;

    2 - the Man Beast of the earth, an esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist Beast, who will oppose and exalt himself above

    all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is

    God.

    That said I would ask: Would not be this ruthless Man Beast of the earth the same Character that is mentioned in

    Rev.11:v.4 that says "the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth" whose Country must be smite with all

    plagues in the last week, the week 70th of Daniel 9:v.27?

    this was told to a congregation, god showed me 2 women and say choose. how possible could this be, since our father knows the plans he has for us. he know who he wants for us he know the right mate. i believe the person was talking in the flesh however could you shed light on this since the person saying it is the person god showed to someone as there mate, and the connection is strong. and the person is not of the same race he says, i know we only have one race but that is what was said
  • The Future Coming Up Real Real Fast - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Matthew 24, Luke 21, give us the basic signs to be looking for. 1 Peter, 2nd Peter. Thessalonians.

    And the Nation of Israel which our government just abandoned to the wolves.

    When we see Israel surrounded by her Palestinian Enemies, Russia, China. Keep your eye on Iran, the UN.

    When they all decide to begin firing upon Israel, legislating Israel into a corner, forcibly trying to take land that God deeded to them (in Genesis), by an unbreakable Covenant:

    That time is now. Watch the news. If you missed it, look at news on YouTube. Don't be an ostrich. Avoiding reality has dire consequences.

    Seriously, Israel is about 7 miles WIDE. Why is an entire planet after that one piece of real estate? Many of us drive 7 miles to get to a Walmart or Costco store.

    When we foolishly decided to toss Donald Trump out,

    And elect criminals to run this nation (who are partners with the aforementioned nations), I hope everyone got their cheap little thrill over it. Trump BLESSED Israel. We profited off of it. Now our economy is in the can, nobody is working. Biden is going to give those jobs to all those immigrating here, or sneaking over the fences. All of those curses in Leviticus 26, and Deuteronomy 28; will be on our evening news every day now.

    The good news is, all those crooked politicians will still be on this earth trying to cope AFTER Jesus rescues His Church.

    College graduates need to do a course on the FOUR HORSEMEN of the Apocalypse now. Death, is over Pestilence, pandemics, locusts, flu, etc.

    Why not skip it and realize with some degree of comprehension, that our rejection of God and his Son, Jesus Christ, is true. Romans 1 says, WE are WITHOUT EXCUSE.

    Visit that Become A Christian link, on this Website. Be Honest.

    If the signs Jesus spoke of DON'T convince us, you are without hope.

    CHOOSE LIFE. DONT TAKE THE MARK.

    Gaudencio, May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Romans 8:20 For the creature was made (CREATED) subject to vanity, NOT WILLINGLY, but by reason of HIM who hath subjected the same in HOPE.

    God wants Sons and Daughters that are like HIM. He gives us and EXPERIENCE of natural life so we will KNOW GOOD AND EVIL.

    Adam and Eve's sin wasn't eating a natural fruit (the tree of THE KNOWLEDGE of good and evil is within us, it's not a natural tree), we were created with a evil heart. With just a little enticement from this heart; that wasn't born of the Spirit, Eve LUSTED.

    God TEST every man to bring him to TRUTH. Without ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING. I am your life.

    The POWER and LIFE of the Father which lives in the SON was given to him by the Father. The Father then sent HIS SON to recreate all his sons and daughters into THE IMAGE OF GOD. Christ DESTROYS our EVIL heart by TRUTH and MERCY and gives us his HEART(SPIRIT). Everything given to him by the Father HE GIVES TO US.

    Man CANNOT BELIEVE this UNTIL:

    Philippians 1:29 For unto YOU IT IS GIVEN in the behalf of Christ, not only TO BELIEVE ON HIM, but to suffer for his sake

    James 4:3 You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you might consume it upon you lusts.

    Few ask GOD TO CAUSE THEM TO BELIEVE HIS WORDS.

    Few ask to be GIVEN HIS FAITH.

    Without HIM we CAN DO NOTHING.
  • Alex - In Reply on Luke 5 - 4 years ago
    Amen Bro. Earl that scripture comes to mind that says The spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made US free from the law of Sin and Death. Sometimes we get bit but if we behold the lamb of God our bronze Serpent, our snake bite ( Sin ) is not fatal. No condemnation to them in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit . If i do something that I do not consent unto , its not I that does it but sin that dwells in my members ( the Tare ) Satan. We are involved in a warfare but the wheat which is the H.G. is gonna win. With my mind i serve the law of God but with my Flesh the law of sin . That manchild which is the H.G. THE ( WHEAT ) IS GONNA RULE ALL NATIONS GODS, BATTLE AX. The Child of Promise . Any thing not of faith is gonna be destroyed . The wheat was the result of his seed the word sown in mans hearts initiating a birth of CHRIST IN US. Mans fruit unto God via his seed the living word . Thats y he aways refered to himself as the SON OF MAN, HE IS OUR FRUIT UNTO God as Paul said in Romans 7 v 4 ok lemme go. Our 1st born our only son as Zech. said.

  • The Terminal Generation of CHOiCE - In Reply on John 5:26 - 4 years ago
    I had to read Genesis really slow to pick up on more information.

    God made them in His image and likeness. He gave them free will to make choices.

    At that time they were spiritually alive, with soul and flesh. Eve could've obeyed God and Not eat the fruit, but she did anyway (her choice). She gave it to Adam (his choice).

    God had set time in motion when He said, IN BEGINNING. By Genesis 3:15, Adam had lost his mandate by then. That verse shows the mandate had passed onto Jesus at a future time.

    Time and Genealogy had to tick along until Jesus came to earth and was born.

    As 2nd Adam, Jesus fulfilled the mandate on the Cross by dying for the sins of all mankind. He crushed Satan's head (power).

    Satan was a Created Angel; and he has an evil will. He craved Gods glory and still thinks he can win by destroying everything and everyone God loves.

    We still have Free Will. We can choose to follow God and his Son Jesus; or follow Satan; or wander off till we die and must await the Great White Throne Judgment that God will officiate. Everyone at that judgement will understand that they chose (free will) hell, by not choosing anything at all.

    Romans 1, says that we are without excuse by not perceiving the reality of God. We didn't choose God. We made up excuses. Our choices determine our eternal location:

    Heaven or Hell.

    Nowadays, everyone screams for CHOICES. Well God gave us that right. We can choose everything EXCEPT God and find our conscious souls, eternally locked up with an insane creature that Hates God and people who chose nothing and ended locked up with Satan. No paradise, no Abrahams Bosom, just eternal suffering.

    Time is almost up. Matthew 24 is coming to life. We see the signs everywhere. Pestilence means Pandemic, in 2021. Memorize those SIGNS.

    There's a link out on the red link page, that says, Become A Christian.

    Time is ticking down to zero. Act on your choice.

  • S Spencer - In Reply on 1 Peter 1 - 4 years ago
    Hi GIGI.

    I believe a way to put us are WE covered by the blood of Christ as the children of Israel was covered by the Lambs blood on the door post in Egypt. WE CAN'T COME INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD IN THIS FALLEN STATE WE'RE IN. ( A Sinner).

    There may be different sin that brings different results, like fornication ( sin against the body) ect. but all sinners that don't come to Christ will suffer the same fate.

    A unbeliever is already dead under the penalty of sin, Christ came to pay the ransom and take that charge off us by way of the cross.

    NOTICE THE SINGLE PENALTY AND CHARGE THAT IS MENTIONED BELOW.

    Romans 5:11-12. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

    Wherefore, as by ONE MAN SIN ENTERED into the world, AND DEATH BY SIN; ( and so death passed upon all men, ) for that all have sinned:

    John 1:29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the "SIN" of the world.

    NOW CONTINUING TO REJECT TRUTH OR REBEL AGAINST TRUTH OR CORRECTION BY MEANS OF THE LIGHT OF SCRIPTURE CAN BE DANGEROUS.

    I think God Judge the heart of every individual and his tolerance may vary but he will not pardon the guilty.

    Here's a couple of examples in regards to a few countries.

    Matthew 11:21-24. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

    But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

    And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

    But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

    ALL SIN IS DEALT WITH BY CHRIST OR YOU.

    GOD BLESS.

  • Earl Bowman - In Reply on Luke 5 - 4 years ago
    Brother David, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Man WANT BELIEVE what GOD says UNTIL God causes them to BELIEVE. ALL is of God.

    There is nowhere in scripture that says if a name is there it's not a parable.

    There is more than one scripture that says that Christ spake not to the people BUT IN PARABLES.

    Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitudes in parables; and WITHOUT a parable SPAKE HE NOT unto him.

    Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, unto you it is GIVEN to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, it is not GIVEN.

    You said not everyone will choose to be saved.

    The fact is no one chooses to be saved.

    God SAYS I CHOOSE YOU , you don't choose me.

    If I be lifted up I WILL DRAW ALL MEN to me.

    Man thinks he is a co-partner in his salvation, when in fact every part of man's salvation IS OF GOD.

    Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and Holy place, with him ALSO that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the spirit of the contrite ones.

    Thanks be to Christ for HIS WORKS!
  • Lorraine Magarian on Daniel 12 - 4 years ago
    Richard Boyd:. The blood is applied to us at salvation not baptism. One has to be saved first for baptism to mean anything.

    Baptism is the first act of obedience of the believer. Remember the thief on the cross did not get baptized. Nonetheless, Jesus told him he would be in paradise.
  • Alex - 4 years ago
    Even in the O.T. they had to apply the Blood of an animal to the doorposts for remission ,When i see the blood i will pass over you,They cd not apply water to the doorposts, it had to be Blood . Thats the day the nation of Israel was born WHEN THEY APPLIED THE BLOOD OT THE DOORPOSTS . Outta of EGYPT have i called my son. Abib/April 14 according to the old Hebrews calender .Likewise we are bornagain when we apply the blood to the doorposts of our hearts by hearing his voice his Word being bornagain by an incorruptible seed even by the WORDS OF GOD Peter. Water baptism was just a metaphor for another baptism of his spirit the H.G. the baptism of PROMISE . Jesus knew that all of his disciples had been water baptised by he tells them IF i wash thee not you will have no part with me,which speaks volumes of a greater baptism of the H.G. AND FIRE. ( which was the baptism of promise ) Behold i send the Promise of my father upon you which was baptism of the H.G N FIRE AS OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE THAT IS GONNA CONSUME OUR OLD MAN THAT IS IN RANK WITH SATAN ,SATAN IS IN RANK WITH THE RICH MAN . All these things are delivered unto me and i give them to whom will fall down and worship me satan. Its our old man that is in rank with. A satan that does not have a wedding Garment. Mans carnal mind is satans head. Thats y Jesus refered to Peter as satan .he had not been converted just yet. ok lemme go ,All of the water in the WORLD cannot remit sins Only by the blood of the lamb, Behold the lamb of God that taketh away the SINS of the world.

  • Big Sin and Little Sin - In Reply on 1 Peter 1 - 4 years ago
    God cannot dwell in the presence of any sin whatsoever. He's a consuming fire. All sins in the 10 commandments, and the 2 new commandments that Jesus gave us;

    are considered to be equal in severity.

    Committing sin against just one of the commandments, makes us guilty for ALL of them.

    We think this is big sin and those others are not all that bad, like telling lies.

    God doesn't think that way. He is Holy. He gave us the rules and expects us to comply.

    God knows we're going to miss the mark. "For God so loved the World, He gave His only begotten Son.."

    He made a way for us to be forgiven. Wipe the slate clean with the blood sacrifice Jesus. It was no small thing Jesus did on the Cross.

    I watched that movie, the Passion of the Christ, with my hands over my face. The sounds alone are horrific.

    Who is gonna Judge this WORLD ,NONE other then the H.G. Thats y Jesus said when he the Spirit of TRUTH IS COME he will reprove ( Judge ) the world of sin and righteousness and JUDGEMENT . Even in the O.T. God always said BY MY SPIRIT SAITH the lord. The Saints that are gonna judge us is the H.G. THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH , HIS WORDS , we are just a joint heir with the H.G. . Judgement always has to start at the House of God meaning in our hears and minds by his Spirit the H.G. THAT CHILD OF PROMISE IS THE H.G.THAT IS GONNA LEAD US INTO ALL TRUTH. Remember a lil child is gonna LEAD you which is the H.G. Its that Christ in you that is the REAL Saint , not i that live but Christ that lives with in me Paul said. If we have hope in this life only we are of all men most Miserable . Ya remember when they argued which of them was the greatests Jesus took a child and placed him in their midst, Prophetic that Christ is gonna sow his seed in our Hearts forming a baby Christ in us which is the Child of PROMISE THE H.G. As that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the Child of PROMISE THE H.G. ( that little Child that is gonna lead us as Isaiah said ) Joel says the days are coming when God is gonna pour out his spirit ( the H.G. ) ON ALL FLESH, Your sons and daughter are gonna prophesy, the whole family is gonna be saved. We will ALL March together and not break rank, BY MY SPIRIT SAITH THE LORD. Whosoever receiveth one such child in MY NAME RECEIVETH ME. LEMME GO

  • GAUDENCIO SUMILANG SANTOS on John 5:26 - 4 years ago
    This question has been in my mind for a long time now,

    Here is my question, We believed GOD is all knowing with infinite knowledge. Did GOD know already that our first parents will committed disobedience to GOD before HE tested them? If GOD know from the beginning that EVE and ADAM will fall into the temptation of Satan, why GOD still want to test them? Why GOD did not STOP to test them, even though GOD know already that our first parents will be fall into sin?
