    Bill the human or five senses mans own will before being born again was dead in trespasses and sin against the true God.we by nature children of wrath, which is why until a person gets born again of Gods spirit ie holy spirit and renews his mind to gods word which are his thoughts he stays in his own will dead in trespasses and sin. by the way not what i think it is written
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Leviticus 21:18 - 4 years ago
    in the context what your reading applied to levitical priest to serve in the temple not the whole tribe, there are also commands that God gave about those that defiled themselves with outside tribes, keep in mind God dealt with mankind in different ways at different times until the messiah could be born.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Philippians 2 - 4 years ago
    The different names in Gods word for the devil or satan or the detroyer or the tempter or the serpent and their are others, lucifer at one time was Gods right hand angel and decided usurp Gods authority but these are all descriptions of his different functions, ie father of lies, angel of light. Keep in mind not all angels are good, the meaning of angel is messenger so in regards to that the source must be determined.

    Comments by Alex about the blood of the lamb , Chris you do greatly err, if water cd have made us clean ( forgive us our sins ) then Christ shed his BLOOD IN VAIN ) AND THE CROSS was just foolishness , Even John who gave us water baptism told Jesus i have need to be baptised of you. He must increase but i must decrease, i.e water baptism had to decrease and H.G BAPTISM HAD TO INCREASE. REMEMBER Jesus told the woman at the well that drinking of Jacobs well ( water baptism ) wd not quench their thirst for Salvation , Only his living water which is baptism of the H.G WD quence their thirst for SALVATION AS Jesus describes that living water as a well of living water springing up unto everlasting life. John said that when Jesus spoke of water it was the H.G for the H.G WAS NOT YET GIVEN SIMPLY B/C that Jesus was not yet glorified. The point being when JESUS told that woman at the well of living water it was about baptism of the H.G. NOT WATER BAPTISM. JACOBS WATER K LEMME GO

  • Alex - In Reply on Psalms 1 - 4 years ago
    Comments about 2 creations there is another creation coming when the sower of the good seed will sow his precious seed in humanity initiating a birth of Christ in us ( our new birth ) David spoke of a creation coming saying they will come and BE BORN ( IN US )and declear his generation . And Isaiah spoke of Rachels getting her children back saying refrain thy voice from weeping for your CHILDREN will come again,This is the Israel of God which are spirits the H.G plural that are gona be as the stars of heaven the Children of Promise that are gonna be born in us sinners via that heavenly seed the living word . Thats y Jesus spoke of the babes and sucklings they are SPIRITS that are gona be born in us via that good seed . When God made that heavenly Promise that CHRIST wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven ,Thats a heavenly creation , That ppl that David said wd come and be born and declear his Generation, thats the Israel of God that are gonna result from the seed of Christ sown in mans hearts ,i.e our fruit unto God . Rachel is gonna get her Children back which are the Children of Promise the H.G plural . Rachel is the world, her children are the Israel of God Spirits. k later
  • Eddy Powell on Leviticus 21:18 - 4 years ago
    This is a very confusing chapter. Does God turn his back on the weak and deformed? Can someone explain this verse for me? It seems God is very cruel to some of his people, especially in this verse, the weak and deformed. Please help me understand this chapter. I have a flat nose, is it my fault if my appearance is not perfect? Why flat noses can't be near to God? I've trying to study this chapter 21:18 but it doesn't make sense. I've been asking around but all the answer is not very clear to me. I AM CONFUSE!
  • Randy on 1 John 1 - 4 years ago
    How did God reveal all this too us in these verses in 1 John ch 1

    Through his Son Jesus . Verse 3, and 7 .

    Keep it all in context . God gave us his Son to lead us to Himself .

    Jesus is not the word , but the sent word , yes by God .

  • Jack Gutknecht on Psalms 17 - 4 years ago
    1 Lord, hear the right, regard my cry,

    My prayer from lips sincere;

    Send Thy approval from on high,

    My righteousness make clear.

    Thou in the night my heart hast tried,

    Nor found it turned from Thee aside.

    2 With steadfast courage I design

    No wrong to speak or do;

    Thy path of life I choose for mine

    And walk with purpose true.

    For help, O God, I cry to Thee,

    Assured that Thou wilt answer me.

    3 O Thou that ever savest those

    Whose trust on Thee is stayed,

    Preserving them from all their foes

    By Thy almighty aid,

    Let me Thy loving-kindness see,

    Thy wondrous mercy, full and free.

    4 O guard me well as one doth guard

    The apple of the eye;

    While deadly foes are pressing hard,

    To Thee, to Thee I cry.

    Do Thou my rest and refuge be,

    O let Thy wings o'er shadow me.

    5 My enemy, grown strong in pride,

    Would take my life away,

    A lion lurking by my side,

    Most greedy for his prey.

    Confront and cast him down, O Lord,

    From evil save me by Thy sword.

    6 Defend me from the men of pride,

    Whose portion is below,

    Who, with life's treasures satisfied,

    No better portion know;

    They, with earth's joys and wealth content,

    Must leave them all when life is spent.

    7 When I in righteousness at last

    Thy glorious face shall see,

    When all the weary night is past,

    And I awake with Thee

    To view the glories that abide,

    Then, then I shall be satisfied.
  • Jack Gutknecht on James 1:12 - 4 years ago
    1. Count it joy, and never be discouraged,

    When by trials your life is sorely pressed.

    For you know that when your faith is tested,

    Your endurance then develops best.

    Perseverance must complete its working;

    You will need to let it have its way.

    When it's done, you'll be complete and perfect,

    Having all you need to meet each day.

    2. So if any one of you lacks wisdom,

    Ask of God, who always hears and cares.

    He gives freely without asking questions;

    His abundance will become your share.

    But when asking, you must never falter,

    Like a wave that's blown and tossed about.

    If you do, you'll never gain God's blessing;

    Double-minded, you'll succumb to doubt.

    3. Blest the man who perseveres in trial;

    For you know the testing soon will pass.

    When it's o'er and you have stood unmoving,

    You'll receive the crown of life at last.

    But when tempted, never be accusing;

    It's not God who leads you from the path.

    Your own lusts seduce you and entice you,

    Giving birth to sin, and sin to death.

    4. Do not let yourself yield to deception;

    God's the source of every perfect gift.

    He's the Maker of the stars in heaven,

    Changing not as shadows move and shift.

    For He chose a spirit birth to give you,

    Through the Word of truth that you believed.

    Thus are you the first-fruits of His labors;

    By His grace, salvation is achieved.

    JAMES SPEAKS OF TREASURE (1:17-25): The treasure here is the Bible itself.

    A. The source of this treasure (1:17): It came as a perfect gift from the unchanging God, who

    "created all heaven's lights."

    B. The salvation in this treasure (1:18): We have become his children through this priceless gift.

    C. The symbol for this treasure (1:19-25): James compares the Bible to a mirror.
  • Alex on Psalms 1 - 4 years ago
    Alex comments about Gen. 3 : 20 When God told Eve that she wd be the Mother of ALL LIVING that kills any 2 creations theory. And by the disobedience of 1 man sin entered the world. ( 1 man ) Adam. And Death was passed on to ALL MEN. PERIOD.

    [Jam 1:19] Everyone Should Be Quick To Listen

    Everyone should be quick to listen-hear now and heed-

    Slow to speak, also slow to anger in word and deed.

    Anger does not yield a life praised by the Lord,

    So get rid of all sin and humbly accept God's Word.

    I think this scripture is teaching us alot because man cant do what Goc do that is why every one schould serve him and give him all the glory
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on 1 John 4:1 - 4 years ago
    Its not a question of free of its a question of what you decide to do based on what you decide is right or wrong. If Gods word is our basis for correct living we will base our will on that but if an individual decides not to believe than his will is based on the worlds conditions hense the god who runs it. The Will of God is his word but if an individual decides to go against that then what you sew is what you reap and there is no respect of persons. That being said God almighty covers by His Grace a ton of our faults, but if an individual decides to jump over a 200 foot canyon God is not going to break all physical law to accommodate the act. The apostle paul fought the same battle Romans 7:14-25 what makes the Masters walk so incredible i.e. Jesus Christ is that He WAlked by His free Will doing Gods Will 24-7 thats phenominal! What Did He say in the garden before being taken not my will but thine be done, he gave himself because he personified Gods Love for His Greatest creation Man.

  • Chris - In Reply on 1 John 3 - 4 years ago
    That was very interesting to read Xaviar. From where did you learn about this other race of people? I can't find anything about them in the Bible. And you say, "However, before the disobedience (Sin), both creation experience God: even and Edam saw God face to face while the other creation fell and experience God in strange ways."

    If the 'other creation fell' (into sin?) how did they fall? If Satan came to them also, as he did to Adam & Eve, then did God not bother with them - or does that mean that this other creation wasn't important to Him as Adam was? Maybe they were more animal than human, & if this so, then we know that animals don't have the ability to sin.

    Or, if Satan didn't approach them, then they must be sinless as sin can only come from Satan or transmitted through the Adamic bloodline - so we must have some sinless descendants from this 'other creation' still walking around in this world. You also wrote that "evil begin to spread to them as well". How then can it spread?

    So many questions I have for you, that I can't find answers to in the Bible. I await your reply expectantly.
  • Ilya on Genesis 3:19 - 4 years ago
    This life is not supposed to be pleasurable, pleasure is only here to teach us about our purpose, not to replace it. Man is supposed to work, and hate his work, all days of his life, until he finally freed by death.
  • The Soul of the Unborn - In Reply on Habakkuk 2:9 - 4 years ago
    I'm not sure just what you are asking. If it is about human conception and when the soul enters the unborn child's body? These are some scriptures. To me it looks like when the ovum and the sperm meet.

    Psalm 139

    13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

    14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

    15 My substance was NOT hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

    16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and IN THY BOOK, all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

    17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

    Psalms Chapter 127

    3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb IS HIS REWARD.

    Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

    Matthew 18:10

    Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

    Matthew 18:14. Even so IT IS NOT the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish (die).

    Job 12:10. In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

    Ezekiel 18:4

    Behold, all souls are MINE, as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

    If this isn't helpful, write back again.

  • Chris - In Reply on Deuteronomy 18 - 4 years ago
    Hi Danae, thank you for your interest in understanding more of God's Word. I see the key word in this portion of Scripture as 'conscience'. Peter refers to it in verse 16, where he states about having a good ('clear & clean') conscience. Another way of saying this, is that we need to be fully clear & fully convinced in our hearts in what we believe so that if anyone wants to dispute with us or even speak evil of us, our solid stand & clear testimony before them will be our strength & witness that we are truly changed.

    In like manner, our 'good' conscience is what is important in respect to water baptism. As Noah was saved by water, so is the believer saved by water. But Peter qualifies that: it's not the act of immersion that 'saves' us, i.e. as if water baptism washed any of our sins away - No - water baptism doesn't take away sin or even give us a new birth (the Holy Spirit does that), but the act of baptism is for the sake of our conscience. We might rejoice when we first come to know Christ & experience His new birth in us. We might go on confidently in what has taken place in our lives, even share this with others. But Satan isn't far away to make us falter & doubt whether what has happened is of God or from our own desires. Especially when we fall into sin, it's so easy to start wondering about our salvation & we might even become spiritually weak because of it.

    So Peter is saying that even though water baptism doesn't save us or clean us of our sin, what it does do, is to give us a physical testimony to others & ourselves, that God has performed a special work in us: that we are now testifying publicly to it & that this act will be a testimony to Satan whenever he taunts us with doubt & fear. So it just helps to keep us in focus, just as partaking at the Lord's Table does, when we remember Christ's death for us. So baptism comes first as we identify with Christ's death & resurrection into new Life & is a witness to all: ourselves & to the evil around us.

    The flood covered the whole world. Come to my place and I will take you up on a high mountain and we will dug some soil up and we will find seashells. You probably can do it where you live. Go to the highest point that you can find and dig a little and you will also find seashells.
