It is glory there, joy beyond compare,

In the service of my King.

IN THE SERVICE OF MY KING!

Vince,

"where was God when this was taking place?"

That's like asking, "Where is the number five?" God does not have a location unless He lowers Himself to take on human form in His creation of space, time and matter, which He did when walking with Adam in the cool of the day. Most likely this was the pre-incarnate Christ.

"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."Joh 1:18

"So after the seventh day was expired, this is now the 8th day"

You've make a significant assumption that the seventh day was a 24 hour day, just as the first six.

1) No evening and morning.

2) "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." Heb 4:9-11

Just as God ceased His work of creation on day 7, when we enter His rest, it too is unceasing. We are in the seventh day until Christ returns.

3) Although God has ceased His work of creation, He has been WORKING until the return of Christ.

"But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work."Joh 5:17

"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."Joh 9:4

BTW, I agree with you (and have an active post on this) that His plan, before the foundation of the world, was for Lucifer to confront Adam and that Adam would rebel and that God Himself would become a man in order to redeem mankind but not the fallen angels.

where does the bible say for kids to take care of their parents

Hello Jesse,

As I understand you stating that the true experience, receiving the Holy Ghost, had not happened yet as we see in Acts 2 with the Holy Ghost coming upon them in Jerusalem.

Although I must ask where you have heard "He breathed on them" literally says "He breathed in"? The translation from the Greek is quite accurate. As the Greek word "emphusao" means "to blow or breath upon or to blow at".

I myself believe that is when they did receive the Holy Ghost personally from the Lord. In Acts 2 it states "they were all filled with the Holy Ghost". Having that amazing experience. Not stating that is where they received it. I believe that is the first place that they felt or experienced the power of the Holy Ghost. In my understanding.

I hope my statement only brings us together. As only God knows exactly when the Holy Ghost entered them.

God Bless.

Hello my brothers and sisters,

Though I believe many of you on here would agree with me on this. I feel there may be some that are a bit confused on this matter. There is only ONE Gospel of Christ. No matter who preached it or who it was preached to. Christ is not divided.

I understand how some may think Paul had his "own" gospel. Which is not true. Of coarse everyone is unique and special in the Lord in there own way God made them. All are special and unique in the body of Christ.

What I would like to share is the three places Paul states "my gospel". Twice in Romans once in 2 Timothy. When reading these verses in the Textus Receptus all three verses have the same three words that they translate to "my gospel" in English. Which can lead to this confusing I totally understand. The three Greek words are, in English, "the, gospel, of me". "Of" is the expression or indication between things. Paul and the Gospel of Christ he preached.

God Bless and have a wonderful day!

How did the servant know all of this?

why did God destroy the tower of babel??

i think they are dragons with more than one head.

Why didn't the angels come down at jesus' death

God Bless you Vince. The Lord is faithful to answer our needs together.

Will GOD and JESUS and the HOLY SPIRT of promise forgive my sins if i go directly to them and confess my sins.

Matthew 23:37b

..., how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

when the psalmist says 'ye dragons' in verse 7, are the dragons some breast or are they some tornado or something like this?

DARREN,

The comment I'm about to make here is going to be a shock as it was a shock for me too when it was revealed to me after years of careful studying and praying.

Here goes.

In Genesis ch.1, we have GOD. Ch.2 gives us ADAM and EVE which happens to be the only 2 people God ever created (that's another topic). In ch.3, we now have a 4th character, the serpent. Keep in mind that God is putting all His 3 created characters together in a location of His creation, THE GARDEN OF EDEN..

In this garden God said to Adam, "THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL," and "YOU SHALL SURELY DIE." Now look In the book of ISAIAH 55:11, God said, "NO WORD SHALL LEAVE MY MOUTH AND RETURN VOID." The words EVIL and DIE left HIS mouth, and we can see today that those words has been with us from then till now and will be to the end.

The point I'm making is, God created the world good and He puts in it His parameters for learning and understanding. Are you understanding me so far? I don't like to do long posts so I'll stop here for now, plus I have to be at work. So answer if you understand so for and later we will continue. God bless you

Suffering and Struggle.......

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death Philppians 3 verse 10.

Being in Christ is enjoying Christ, The Holy Spirit and the Father, but als a continious fight against our old nature, sin, the devil and the spirit of the world.

Again Carleton, I agree.

To CARLETON,

Amazing, Carleton, I could not have stated any better. God bless you

I'm asking for prayer for me and my family

Hi Anthony,

You stated that verses have been changed and taken out of the Bible, If you believe what you stated please give us the verses in question. Thank you

Please ,dont get me started thinking about my cat ,i shall be snotty and tearfull all day ,your suggestion sounds feasable but im worried about this shutting down of the right half if my brain ,at my age i need it all ! I will be in cleveland tonight ! Cleveland england ! Its a small world ,i suppose its good to remember things ,good and bad ,God teaches us through our experiences and though we may wish to forget some of them we need to remember the lessons He teaches us .

I need to find where I left off@ my study

Continued comment: Though the first Adam lost the comfort of the rest of the seventh day, God did not. However when Jesus left Heaven to come as God in Man, the second Adam he left behind that rest (estate) until His resurrection after Calvary.

Also only a comment. The seventh day, a day of rest for God's man, remained until Adam was judged and removed from the garden. Jesus fulfilled the seventh day as a new Adam and again restored rest in this day.

Hi mishael ,i have to be honest ive never found the books of samuel ,kings and chronicles tedious ,they exhibit every facet of human nature ,at its worst and its best and we get to see Gods work through a very long lense as He puts all the pieces together to bring us to Jesus ,i think sometimes we have to study it very closely to dig up the gems but they are there ,we are told that sauls daughter who married david had no children to him because she mocked his dancing ,at the end of his reign david very subtily made sure saul had no male heirs to challenge solomon ,if david had had children with sauls daughter how would that have panned out ? It doesnt bear thinking about ,oh im wrong ! It does !

why did Saul not harken to god by not destroying the amaliakite

pray for Kristie and myself pray the Lord gives her strength and courage to face all thats before her

please pray for myself and daughters Deanna and Jessica and there family

Hi Dawn,

Genesis 5. Genealogy

Here's why Cain is not in the Genealogy, 1st.

Genesis 4:11, And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;....12...13...

14: BEHOLD, THOU HAST DRIVEN ME OUT THIS DAY FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH; AND-

"""FROM THY FACE SHALL I BE HID""";

2nd.

The first 5 chapters was on the creation the next section is on Noah and the flood, The Emphasis on this Genealogy is on Adam, " The first man" to Noah.

Hebrew:

Transliteration: 'dm

Pronunciation: aw-dawm'

Definition: The same as H120; {Adam} the name of the first {man} also of a place in Palestine: - Adam.

KJV Usage: Adam(9x).

In the next division in Genesis you see a Genealogy in Ch 10 he does the same thing, you see a Genealogy of Noah with certain characters like Nimrod highlighted setting up the brief story of him in ch 11 before he gives us the story of Abraham. Again you see the family of Abraham listed as you go to ch 12 with the story of Abraham focusing just on lineage of the preceding character.

Here's another example Matthew 1:1-2 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Abraham begat "ISAAC"; and Isaac begat "JACOB"; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;

Have you noticed no mention of Ishmael or Essau?

Because the focus is on Jesus to king David. this Genealogy goes through Solomon but the Genealogy in Luke goes through Nathan, One giving the legal line to the thrown and the other giving the blood line to the thrown.

I hope that clears this up for you because I don't know why one would suggest that God would bless a biological birth from Satan, Only God can permit Life.

Daniel 12:9
