Why does God say let US make man in OUR image? Who Is Us? Genisis 1

Thank you my dear brother and sister in Christ. It has been a while since I've been able to come on here and I have also missed all of you. This year has been a tough one but the Lord is good.

Anyways, I will share what I put together a few years back on the book of Acts. I gave an entire study of the entire New Testament. I put together introductions to each book that I presented and shared them online with a group of about 25.

I kept all my materials and this is what I am going to use to share what I presented on Acts. I'll start it in another post.

We are reminded in this Psalm a type of admonition that those who see God's wrath in the Tribulation and beyond in Isaiah 33:14 where it is said with fear "who can dwell with everlasting burning?" That; no doubt will be the result of viewing what is seen in the end of Isaiah 66; as well as the state of the land which becomes everlasting pitch in Isaiah 34:9. There will also be fire at Armageddon and the world will be aware of Antichrist's and the False Prophet's judgments at the end of the Tribulation. We are reminded that the wicked will not stand at the judgment in Psalm 1:5.

We see many characteristics of the 10 commandments here in these short verses. We see loving our neighbor in verse 3 (and verse 2 surely implies an attitude of loving God in all ways as the first commandment requires). We also see how other things like vows are kept; that would be the meaning here and we must remember at least in N.T. times that we are not to communicate beyond "yea and nay" whenever purely human agreements are made. ( Matt. 5:34). Such things between God such as marriage vows; and other promises are to be kept and we can see one painful example in Judges 11:36-39. We also see in verse 4 having the fear of the Lord which of course is the beginning of wisdom and found in numerous scriptures.

Finally; we see a statement on usury (charging interest on loans). This was warned against the Jews doing this to their own people in Leviticus 25:35-38. This of course would put many banks out of business today but of course anything like this makes the poor worse off and the rich gaining more for their own selfish interests. We may not be able to help what banks do but in our own loans we can.

Amen Adam.

I would like to add Revelation 1:8

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

I also like Malachi 2:17- Malachi 3:1.

"Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, WHERE IS THE GOD OF JUDGMENT?

BEHOLD, I WILL SEND MY MESSENGER, AND HE SHALL PREPARE THE WAY BEFORE ME: AND THE LORD, WHOM YE SEEK, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

Now fast forward to where the prophecy was fulfilled.

Mark 1:1-3. The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

As it is written in the prophets, BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER BEFORE THY FACE, WHICH SHALL PREPARE THY WAY BEFORE THEE.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Matthew 11:7-10. And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

John the baptist prepared the way for God to as prophesied.

God bless.

Jesse,

I'd love for you to post it!

Been going to a seventh day Adventist church and they say we are under grace through Christ Jesus but still have a preparation day and then the Sabbath . I ask questions they say the Law is ceremonial law that the Jewish people had not the 10 commandments. So a little confused.

Thank you brother S. Spencer for your kind words. I believe we all bring something unique & informative from the Word that will be specially ministered to others by the Holy Spirit. May He also bless your life, family & ministry here & at your Fellowship. Hope to join you all soon in the Lord's Will.

Deut 18:10-13 kjv,

Isaiah 8:19-20 kjv,

Leviticus 19:31 kjv,

Amen Giannis.

The means by way we enter the Kingdom is one way. And that was preached to all ages starting in Genesis 3:15. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

It also was preached to Abraham.

Galatians 3:8.

Flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom, You have to be born again.

In the old testament teachings they was to look for a savior to come. All the services was a foreshadow of Christ. In the new testament teachings we look back and believe on him has come.

There's one way.

God bless.

I am not sure if I believe in God, but if you do, please pray that God would give my dad a desire to do what will bring about his salvation, and that our family, friends, and community would be willing to help.

He was not treated well by his parents growing up, and has developed a disorder that leaves him unable to consistently empathize with other people. Please pray that God would give him healing.

True God: ( 1 John 5:20) - This is a direct assertion that Jesus, being the true God, is not only divine, but is the Divine. Because the Bible says there is only one God, this is describing His nature as part of the triune God.

Hebrews 1:8 "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom." The Son is called "God."

I Am: ( John 8:58, with Exodus 3:14) - When Jesus ascribed to Himself this title, the Jews tried to stone Him for blasphemy.

2 Pet. 1:1 "Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:"

"our God and our Saviour"

Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Severe penalty for denying Jesus.

Matthew 10:22, 2 Thessalonians 2:10.

Phillipians 4:7 kjv: And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,

shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Matthew 9:21-22 kjv: For she said within herself, if I may but touch his

garment , I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when

he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made

thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Luke 7:13 kjv: And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her,

and said unto her, Weep not.

Saturday October the 8th and next Friday October 14th I'm going in for a mental evaluation and a physical evaluation to see whether I'm determined to be approved for disability or not please pray that everything will turn out for the positive and they're finally determination will determine I will be approved for disability please pray I will be approved please pray that everything will be okay and I'll be approved please pray thank you and God bless

In Jesus mighty name. Alleluia. Amen. Thank You Lord.

Hello Spencer

I haven't got much time to write a detailed comment, so:

Luke 17:20-21

"And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

The Kingdom of God or of Heaven (only Matthew uses the term Kingdom of Heaven, which actually doesn't alter anything) begins within us since it is God who is our King and His rules that we obey. But after the second coming of Jesus Chist there will be a literal Kingdom on (the new) earth that God is going to create (also in the millenium).

How does one enters that Kingdom (the spiritual and the literal)?

John 3:5

"Jesus answered (to Nicodemus), Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

The greek for Gospel is Evagelion, it means Good News, the good news of salvation of mankind through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is unique, it hasn't changed and will never change. The same good news were preached by Jesus to Hebrews, the same by the disciples to the gentiles, till nowadays. I think that is a cornerstone doctrine for all christian churches (denominations), or for the majority of them. .

GBU

Is Jude the brother of james and jesus?

Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Jesus is called the "mighty God" in clear terms. Amen. If anyone reading this is somehow not convinced in his/her heart and mind that this verse is true, there are dozens more in the Bible like it. I'm happy to share a long list of them.

Those who want to deny Jesus's divinity may a hard road ahead to continue denying God's truth throughout the rest of the Bible, because there's so many verses asserting Jesus's divinity. Beware of false teachers planting seeds of corruption. God's truth is already here in His Word. Pray, seek, and ask God directly to confirm what the truth is. Satan lurks like a lion ready to devour. I believe he devours people through planting falsehoods and tempting with the fruit of an attractive lie. How convenient that he even targets Christians to slowly step by step begin unravelling their faith through the process of denying Jesus. Clever tactic that unfortunately some have fallen victim of. Keep watch. We already have the truth in front of us in God's Word to help confirm what is true and what is a lie. We need the armor of God on and to stay vigilant. The end is drawing near. God bless.

For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he..

I need to understand the above

please pray Mary, Carolyn and Marilyn will wear their black church hats to the funeral on this saturday.

Tom, a few years ago, I put together and presented a bible study on the book of Acts. I gave an introduction to Acts which laid out the entire book. I can share that with you but there is no way I can do so in one post. Would you like me to share it with you?

Hello. I do hope that God shows you a way out of your financial difficulties . Please try to see all the good things in your life . God has given you somewhere safe to live with your family . There are many people who wish they could be so blessed . As for being married , I hope that happens for you if it is what you want . Surely it is better to be single than in a bad marriage ? Count your blessings and thank God for them . Have patience and stay close to God and He will help you and put you where He knows is the right place for you . Cheer up ! You sound as if you have plenty of good things in your life and hopefully , in the world to come .

Please God allow Your healing power be on Mary in this affliction that she will be a testimony for You. Please Holy Spirit continually filled Mary's husband with patience, kindness and temperament during the recovery process and beyond I pray in the name of Jesus Christ!

Please reflect on: Philippians 4:12-13, Psalms 91, and 2 Timothy 2:1

Search for him with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:13

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

as both of the comment above Its by prayer remember to start by asking God to help you understand his words .

God is faithful

.i find KJ bible the best version and also i use (Macarthur study bible) useful.

TO BE FILLED BY God the holy Spirit You need to repent and believe in Jesus Christ

and abide in Jesus Christ then he will teach you in the way you should go including the gifts which God the holy sprit will give to you.

Acts 16:25-40

30 Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

Ephesians 5:9

9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

be satisfied in the lord at all times and with all that you have lean not in your understanding nor be greedy in your conduct but in everything you do give glory to GOD FOR HE IS YOUR PROVIDER

HEBREWS 13:5-6

5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
