Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 368

I love listening to the reading of the bible. I learn from it. And I learn how to pronounce some of the hard words and learn about God and I enjoy listening.

What does the word "PRUDENT"

Hiya Kathlynn...There is so much to be said about Elohim being a singular God head but 3 distinct beings...And Elohim tells Moses his name is Abraham Issac and Jacob...Which was Father Son and Granson...But this 1 singular God head has to be multiplied as the stars of heaven...Just as Abraham was multiplied as the sands of the seas..That was the great Promise....I God Almighty will multiply thy seed Who's seed ? Christ Seed....The living word...As the stars of heaven And God Almighty swore by his own self That Christ wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven Thats y Jesus said to whom the word ( Gods seed ) came it made them Gods PLURAL And Jesus is God the Son...Thus we see an Israel of God on the Horizon which are spirits the H.G. Plural as the stars of heaven...That are gonna be born in us sinners...Whosoever receveth one such Child in my name receiveth ME...She brought forth a manchild that is gonna rule all nations...Abraham Isaac and Jacob were a perfect picture of 3 distinct Beings BUT the one singular FATHER OF Israel...This Heavenly Israel are gonna be born in us via the seed of Jesus...Thats y Jesus was saying that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit...Which is the H.G. the Children of PROMISE The Israel of God....Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in...ok lemme go...Its the H.G. That IS THE REAL HEIR and is lord of all....According to Gal 4 :1...But he has to be born in us via the seed of Jesus but he is lord of all thus that Child of Promise the kingdom...We are just a joint heir...But its only the H.G. that heavenly Jacob is the real HEIR...The Israel of God... Isaiah 49 kjv

Thank you T. Levis, for doing this. I do the same, especially for prayer requests. I just don't want anyone to be overlooked. So, if anyone has not had responses to a post, please let us know and restate your need or question so that we can fulfill our calling to build one another up in the most holy faith.

Thank you so much Adam. The procedure went well and relatively painless, although I needed an extra dose of lidocaine shot to avoid too much pain.

I will get my results early next week. I was calm and peaceful through the whole procedure knowing that God is with me in every circumstance and arena of my life.

Thanks, S, Spencer,

This topic has been on my mind this past week or so and I have been seeking God's guidance on how we are to behave among the brethren and with those who are not. But love is always the over-riding prerequisite for us to employ before and during all of our interactions, thoughts, words, and motives towards others. Cultivating this love is a lie-long work and journey. We have Christ ant the moral teachings of the commandments to help us to know how love looks in actions in our lives. But as Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, it is not just our outward actions that show sin or godliness, it is the interior condition of our souls, minds, hearts, and will that guides our outward actions. Even when. like the Pharisees, we can live outwardly godly lives, we still have the sin nature within that often brings us into secret sin in our hearts, minds, souls, and motives.

"Create in me a pure heart, O God" really should be our constant prayer and also be willing to go through the process He chooses to purify us. One time when I deeply desired this and prayed for a heart that is tested, true and pure, I got a lot of challenges, trials, and tests, to bring this more into a reality for me. At one time about four months into this deep desire I had an "awake dream" while in prayer and saw a heart that was all blackened as if charred by fire. I asked, Lord, what does this mean." He spoke to my heart saying, "This is what a pure heart looks like. Look closer" and it was as if a magnifying glass was over the heart and I was able to see thumbprints all over the heat. Then the Lord spoke again to my heart saying, "See those thumbprints? Those are where I pressed on this part of your life and said, can I take this? Can I purge this area? And then I burned my thumbprint into that area of your heart as I purified that area of your life that you were withholding from me."

I just knelt down and was silent for some time, and said, Do all of me Lord!

Job 30:19, no, I believe it's referring to Job 2:7,8,

Amos 2:1, 2Kings 23:16,20, 2Chronicles 34:1-6 as prophecied in 1Kings 13:12, & Ezekiel 24:9-14,

The other references comparable are 1Samuel 31:12,13, 2Samuel 21:12,13,14, they weren't completely consumed as described in Amos 2:1,

Hopefully this is helpful

Amen Gigi!

That was beautifully said.

Reminds me of Galatians 6:1. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

We all came to Christ by his mercy and grace. No one is perfect, we are to bestow the same Love, Longsuffering, and mercy on others as Christ bestowed on us.

However if someone comes with another Gospel "Which there is no other" We are not to give him God speed. But if someone is zealous in a area that you are not that shouldn't cause division. God may have prepared a different role for him.

Amen and God bless.

I was just going back over Questions to see if we missed answering any.

We will all give account Romans 14:12, 1Peter 4, Jude 1, Matthew 16:27,

Also says Work out your own salvation with fear & trembling Philippians 2, Matthew 25:31-46,

Please notice context to What's being said, Luke 13:24,30, Matthew 24, Luke 18:24, Luke 18:9-43,

like Malachi 3:5, James 1,26,27, James 1, Luke 12, Luke 12:42-48,

I see within all of these, it's very important how we treat others especially those in deepest need, fatherless, widows, orphans etc.

1John 1:9, James 1:5

Hi Karen. When reading Philippians 4:14-19, in the context there, as you rightly wrote, the Church was mindful of the apostle's physical needs, providing help to him probably more than a couple of times than indicated in these verses. That occasion gives us a Divine Truth: that when God's people are sensitive to His Spirit's Leading, deeply immersed in the Word & Prayer, then the outcome will always be a generosity far surpassing simply the act of giving or doing so to appease one's conscience. We see the first instance of this in Acts 4:32-25, where the fledgling Church, filled with God's Spirit, "were of one heart & soul" and they knew that their possessions were not their own (i.e. they realized that all things that they possessed belonged to and came from God for their use). With such a mind & spirit, they immediately looked out for one another, even selling houses & land so that the proceeds could benefit others among them in need.

Even though the full extent of that particular example of sacrificial love may be infrequent today, the Truth of that renewed heart & spirit in believers urged them to look out to others, when formerly it was always 'me first or what's mine is mine'. So when we give with a generous spirit, sensing the real needs within the Church (& of course, outside it), being led of God's Spirit, we can trust that God will always "supply all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". Even as we read in James 4:3, "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts", implying when our motives are wrong & not aligned with what is God's best for us, we shouldn't be surprised when we're left with prayers unanswered & floundering in our sparsity. And of course, "godliness WITH contentment is great gain" ( 1 Timothy 6:6): we should be content with what God has given us, even though we have very little & can't or could never 'keep up with the Jones' '.

Amen Adam.

I hold that view also.

Very well spoken.

God bless.

Psalm 79. Asaph passed from this earth several HUNDRED years before the Babylonian captivity however this Psalm certainly sounds like that captivity; and it certainly has some parallels to later events such as the destruction of the Temple in AD 70 as well as the end times. Verse 6 certainly seems to be a universal sort of destruction for all of God's enemies in the impreccatory sort of narrative.

We see further parallels with verse 10 and the passage in Revelation 6:10 on "how long"? Verse 11 seems to indicate the prisoners being released as some other prophetic verses state such as Isaiah 51:14. And verse 12 shows with the "sevenfold" rendering as similar to the sevenfold series of judgments in Revelation; references in Deuteronomy and other scriptures about sevenfold judgments.

Finally; the last verse shows how the "sheep of thy pasture" will give thanks forever and to all generations. That could certainly be a Millennial reference.

There are many prophecies which make Asaph in that catagory. We see that he led song and apparently lived a long life. We do well to look at the song of Miriam in Exodus 15:20-21 to see how powerful worship and song is related to many victories of God.

Psalm 78. This is a Psalm of a repetitive theme within the O.T. in particular of God's longsuffering from the time of the Exodus until the time of Israel's peak (in this case; under David's leadership as per verse 70). We should be reminded of Joshua 5:14 in regard to the Angel of the Lord being on "the Lord's side".

God had established a covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15 (after initial promises in Genesis 12 and the circumcision rite in Genesis 17 setting His people apart. some 450 years before Moses and the predicted diaspora that occured in Exodus.

Verses 4 through 8 show how the children were to be taught the Word so that they would not forget the promises to their fathers and of course to worship the one true God. In the case of Ephriam; it is not clear from my study where they failed; but it is clear here that they didn't keep the covenant of God (verse 10). This could certainly be attributed to not destroying enemies as commanded. In any event; verses 11 through 55 show God finally bringing the descendants of the Exodus into the Promised land after multiple rebellions. When they were there they continued to serve false gods (v. 56-59). Thus; GOd once again brought severe judgment. In fact; verse 65-66 could mean that God destroyed "enemies" both within and without once He finally judged whatever nations are referred to here. It is clear from scripture that many died when people presumtously fought without seeking God or sin was in the camp. Verses 68-72 shows at least temporary respite with David and the tribe of Judah being chosen. This would be shortly before the dividing of Israel after Solomon's reign became complete. Ultimately all the Covenant blessings go to God's true remnant but the rest have greater judgment having known God and rejected Him.

Abraham was called by God to move from "Chaldea" from a city called Ur in southern Mesopotamia. Abraham and Sarah were kinsmen, related through their father but different mothers. They both lived in Ur and then followed God's lead up the Euphrates valley to Haran, (in modern Iraq/Syria).Their relatives lived in Haran. From Haran, they traveled westward along the road that connected Haran with Damascus and then south into Canaan modern Israel.

Kathlynn,

Chris has given you the meaning of Elohim that has been used for centuries. The definition you gave is more from New Age/Paganism than from the Scriptures or Christian belief over the centuries.

Matthew 6, Luke 11, 1Corinthians 10:6-14, James 4:7, Matthew 17:14-21, Mark 9:14-29, Matthew 18:19, 1John 2:12-17, Ephesians 5:25-30,

Hello Kathlynn. I don't understand your belief/understanding of 'Elohim' that you shared, as I don't find that in the Bible, but I can say this: that the word 'Elohim' (from the Hebrew), has several meanings. And those meanings/applications can be to the True God (as in Genesis 1:1), or to gods in general (as in Judges 10:6), even to judges (in Exodus 21:6).

Elohim then, is the general name for God and is used in the context of God as Creator. The Name emphasizes that God is distant and powerful. It is used to describe God as the awesome and majestic Creator.

However, when God's Name is given as 'Yahweh' (the LORD), this is His personal Name and is used in the context of God having a relationship with His people. When God goes about creating humanity ( Genesis 2:7 ff; cf with Genesis 1:27, spoken of in a more general way), it is Yahweh who does this act. When the Lord is personally involved with His people, Yahweh is the proper way to designate Him.

Why is Romans 10:9 not a salvation message to the world? Christ, at some point in time, is going to raise all unbelievers back to their flesh.

Romans 10:9 If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, THOU SHALL BE SAVED.

There is no time line defined in this verse ,as in this age we are now in, the feast of first fruits, there is still the age of the ingathering, the feast of tabernacles, yet to come.

No one is saved until they depart this body of mortal flesh, no one is born again until they depart this body of mortal flesh.

I Timothy 6:16 Who (Christ) ONLY hath IMMORTALITY, dwelling in the LIGHT which no man can approach unto ......

1 Corinthians 15:53 ....this mortal (at the death of this body) SHALL PUT ON IMMORTALITY ......

1 Corinthians 15:49 A we bear have borne the image of the earthly (mortal), we shall also SHALL bear the image of the heavenly --- IMMORTALITY --- Christ ONLY hath immortality ----

But God giveth IT (the new creation, born a second time) a BODY as it has pleased him, and to ever SEED his OWN BODY ----Christ is the BODY of the FATHER ----

Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they ARE CREATED (the second birth, upon the death of this mortal body): and thou renewest the face of the earth ---- Revelations 21:5 ....I make all things new .....

Isaiah 45:23 ....every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess ....

Romans 14:11 ....every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess ....

Romans 10:9 That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the grave, THOU SHALL BE SAVE.

Romans 10:10 ..... and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

1 Timothy 4:10 .....who is SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, specially those that believe.

1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these thing happen FOR ENSAMPLES; and they are written for OUR ADMONITION .....

God Bless You as we come to TRUTH

I've always, even when young, that Elohim=multiple aspects or polarities or energies of one Godhead, aka Monotheistic GOD. Example: Father Alpha/Son Christ (masculine), Mother Omega/Daughter Soul (feminine) and Holy Spirit (perfect balance of masculine/feminine. However, even to this day, all I see from 'professionals' is Elohim= multiple GODS. --- WHAT SAY YOU????

Would these verses intimate that in order to have God supply all our need, it might help if we were to give to Him just as this church supported Paul.

From where did Abraham & Sarah come from ?

Romans 10:9 is not a salvation message to the world. It is given to those that are born again, by water & Spirit as in the book of Acts.

One of my most favorite Psalms! Praise God Almighty!!
