    Chris let me give ya my take on Father Abraham he is a type O Father God that wants Children....Just as Father Abraham wanted to be multiplied as the sands of the seas...Its just prophetc that Father God is gonna be multiplied as the stars of Heaven...Thats y the sower of the GOOD SEED wants to sow his Precious seed in Humanity....That All the world might birth a baby Christ which is the H.G...The Son of MAN...As that which is born of the spirit is Spriit...An Israel of God that cannot sin simply b/c they are born of God...They are Gods,...As to whom the WOrd came it made them Gods...So we see that JESUS can reproduce himself in Humanity...Thats y he always refers to himself as the Son of Man...Thus we see thats its Christ who sows that good seed in humanity thus he is the Father of the Children...Spirits the H.G. Many ...Thats y i always said that Jesus is the FATHER of the H.G...Simply b/c the H.G. cannot be born without his seed planted in our hearts....Thats y he has to know US...Then he is GLORIFIED simply b/c he has multiplied himself in Humanity...Thats y he is saying whosoever receiveth one such Child in my name receiveth me...Jesus plainly tells us Satan is the Father of the tares b/c he sows the tares...Which means that Christ is the Father of the wheat b/c he sows the wheat....And the wheat is a Baby Christ the H.G. The Granson...simply b/c the Sower of that good seed is Jesus the Bridegroom....Even in the natural the bridegroom is always the FATHER of the Child.

    .....When Jesus breathe on them they received the H.G....But They had to go thru a gestation period....He said b/c i have spoken these words ( his seeds ) John 16 : 6 ...Sorrows have filled your hearts...When a woman is in travail she has SORROWS but after the Child comes her SORROWS are turned into Joy...His breath was his word which is his seed....She brought forth aman child that is gonna rule all nations....The Woman in Rev 12 is Pregnant b/c of his seed, His Breath..Her Child is the H.G.

    Hi again Mark.

    The sum of it all.

    God had the Gospel in mind before the foundation of the world,

    Jesus Christ the Cornerstone and

    the Apostles layed the foundation.

    see here

    Ephesians 2:19-22.

    We are to build upon with precious stone and the blueprint was in God's hand before the foundation of the world.

    see here

    1 Corinthians 3:10-12.

    Here you have all of what's involved in this building mentioned in Ephesians 2:21.

    God had the blueprint in his hand before the world began.

    God bless

    GOD made coats of skin to cover their flesh because they were dying instantly. THEY WERE RAW FLESH. the coats of skin covered the flesh. that outer skin is a protection for the flesh if the skin is removed from the flesh the the body will die instantly no if or ands about it. example if you get BURNED the DOCTOR will have to draft skin from other parts of your body to cover the damaged part. if not the damaged part will develop infection and your time on earth will be cut short. skin to cover the flesh, layer 2 and 3. third degree burns is almost detrimental. EVEN the doctor doesn't mean you any good; lights out. the only chance you have is JESUS. YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU GOT HIM BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH...PEACE my friend keep on keeping on. GENESIS 3:21 KJV BIBLE.

    PEACE.. THE TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL WAS NOT AN APPLE.. As WE ARE TOLD. the eating of the tree of good and evil is a LIE and they ate of the tree, which is to say they believe that Lie. then sin became on all mankind. therefore the only way back to the GARDEN OF EDEN is by JESUS THE CHRIST. that is to say the word of GOD in a earthly tabernacle known as FLESH. NOW all have a right to the tree of life through the word of GOD from GOD who is GOD'S voice or (word) from heaven. peace my brother...

  • Richard H Priday - In Reply on Numbers 5 - 3 years ago
    NIV apparently indicates that her "womb will miscarry" while other versions seem to indicate just a physical condition making childbirth impossible. In either case; after that point physical malady occurs. This penalty is no more severe than that of David when he sinned committing adultery with Bathsheeba then summarily sending her husband Uriah to his death deliberately being put on the front lines of battle. ( 2 Samuel 12; also see Psalm 51). The sin of adultery was a capital offense as well as murder so only the grace of God could supersede this. In the case of the woman mentioned in Numbers; there was no proof corroborated beyond the husband's suspicions (2 or more witnesses were needed to enact punishment). Therefore; the Lord used this method to determine supernaturally guilt or innocence. We see with David's child as well as in this hypothetical case that surely occurred with real life examples that a child would die as the result of God's judgment for behavior of someone else. This is different than man's arbitrary decision to terminate life and peculiar to the Jews. The soul of the child was never in question here; but it shows how the sin of one can affect others; and we can't pretend to understand all of God's ways.

    Again; this showed the seriousness of God's covenant marriage relationship. It says nothing of how someone not engaged who commits fornication would be treated; other scriptures state that a man should marry a virgin in that instance; and there are other verses that say he must stay married if he finds nothing appealing in a wife (we see Leah having more kids to prove that point). Since adultery was a capital punishment; then by default sadly if she was already conceiving a child it would become part of the "collateral damage".

    We should see from this the seriousness of marriage and how it holds the framework of a society together. God used this concept of a Theocracy with His chosen people in that dispensation.

    I believe all of those scriptures that Christ is one with God and the Father is in the Son. I also believe that we are one in God and Jesus, but we do not exchange names with them and call ourselves God or Jesus. Some verses ... John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be (one in us): that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." I think when we use words that the Bible does not use it can complicate the scripture. Example: God the Son or God in the flesh. It is simpler to use the Son of God and ponder what that means. 2 Cor. 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. God dwells in us and walks in us, but we don't call ourselves "God in the flesh" just because he is in our flesh. Maybe a relevant point to consider concerning this topic is if we believe Jesus could have sinned.
  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Thanks Alex for your response. If I could nail down a few things.

    a. "a baby Christ which is the H.G"; "That cannot speak for a while simply b/c he is an infant". So are you saying that we can't receive the Holy Ghost & being born again because He (the Spirit) is still an infant? So when are we born again? If we can't be born again now, how do you account for spiritual gifts, power to live for God, a longing to be with Him? A carnal man without the Spirit cannot enjoy these things nor desire them - they are foolishness to him.

    b. can you give me a reference where God told Moses that His Name was Abraham, Isaac & Jacob? I only see references in my Bible such as Exodus 4:5, "That they may believe that the LORD God OF their fathers, the God OF Abraham, the God OF Isaac, and the God OF Jacob, hath appeared unto thee?" They never speak of God's Name being what you state, but that God is the God OF

    c. I know that "the night cometh, when no man can work", which means we need to do God's Work while it is still 'day'. But my point was, why should the Gospel be preached NOW, when, as you believe, that the day will come when all men will bow down to the Lord, those alive & those who have died? If God has determined that all will be saved one day, why is there a need to share the Gospel with the unsaved - they're going to be saved anyway regardless whether they know anything about Jesus' Sacrifice or not, or whether they have given any regard to their sinful state or not?
  • Ronnette on Matthew 24 - 3 years ago
    1 Thessalonians 3:10. I prayed and re-read the Bible. 2 Timothy 2:15. Matthew 24:4-5. If you are guided by the Holy Spirit of God, Colossians 2:2-3. Grow in grace and Charity 2 Peter 3:18; 1 Corinthians 13:4-9. Colossians 3:14. Many of you 2 Timothy 3:10. Galatians 6:6. Galatians 6:10. All scriptures tie out-Old Testament and New Testament. God directed my paths to be a very honest Corporate Auditor on earth to testify that the Bible is true and indeed cannot lie. Men lie. Every word in KJV Bible you can follow stories upon stories for us to know and learn what to do. There is no man can pervert the word of God, except you are lost. I pray that all be saved. Read the Bible and be guided by the Holy Spirit; Cover to cover are blessed and believe 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. All scriptures directed in the end to The blood of Jesus Christ for the world salvation. 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

    Revelation 3:2. Thank you for the opportunities to communicate through written comments to some of you. Thank you for the website Agape.

    Hiya Chris GM...Sorry for taking so long to answer you... i just now noticed your reply...Sorry again....OK ...Chris God wants perfect praise thats the only way he will recieve any thing from man is by man being bornagain of an incorruptible seed...Outa of the mouths of babes and Sucklings thou has Perfected Praise....We are are gonna have a baby Christ which is the H.G...As that which is born of the spirit is spirit....Thats our new innerman the H.G. That cannot speak for a while simply b/c he is an infant...Remember Jesus said when he the spirit of truth is come he wd not speak of himself...Simply b/c he is a spiritual infant

    .....Chris God cd not have told Moses that his name was Abraham Issac and Jacob and my memorial to all generations...If his Kingdom were a not a Abrahamic Type Trinity....When Abraham offered up his only son Issac it points to God offering up his son Jesus...Infact the ram caught in the thicket by his horns was a type of Christ and his crown of thorns....A 5 yr old can see this. So with this in mind we see that Gods name is indeed Abraham Issac and Jacob...FATHER SON AND GRANSON like Abraham Isaac Jacob...Just as Issac was the Child of Promise in the O.T....Now in the N.T. Its Christ that is the Child of Promise...Thus Jacob is a type of the H.G. the 3 rd person....That heavenly Jacob that Isaiah writes about in 49 is a spritual Jacob An Israel of God that is gonna be multiplied as the stars of Heaven...A spritual ppl that are gonna be born in humanity the H.G..The Children of Promise the multiplication of very God in Humanity via the seed of the sower.

    ....Christ you asked y should we preach now if everybody is gonna be saved....Chris ya gotta remember what Jesus said I am the light of the world BUT the NITE comes when no man can work....Impling a time of darkness.. That great falling away...The day of the lord cannot come till there 1st come a great falling away and that man of sin be revealed....Nothin can be done till the book is open.

    what does spiritual death mean
  • Mishael - In Reply on 1 Thessalonians 4 - 3 years ago
    I was looking into that today. You're not the only one wondering about marriage, sex and babies, in heaven.

    Babies born now, to unsaved mothers; will be raptured. Not the mother. God will be their Father. That's just the way it is.

    If you read what is to come, upon the earth: in 2 Peter 3

    You can make an informed choice. It's burning now, but it's being sold to us as GLOBAL WARMING. The earth is heating up for the End of Time. Carefully and slowly read that chapter.

    We should desire to go to heaven, to be together with children and family of course. But Most importantly, to be with our Savior, Jesus.

    Now is the time to be born again; marry and have your babies.

    The way I understand it, only humans who choose to go through the Tribulation, followed by the Great Tribulation (when Antichrist will murder anyone who does not have his mark in their hand or forehead) will be slaughtered. There will be no food. No fresh water. It will be poisoned by destroyed nuclear reactors.

    So you'd have to survive all that and Armageddon to have Jesus take you to heaven IF you had received Him to be your Savior. If you miss the rapture, you have to make it through the destruction of earths inhabitants, to make it to heaven to be able to bear children.

    You're not the only one asking this question. There is a Tribulation Movie you can watch on YouTube:

    "Blesson Tribulation movie"

    You'd have to live through the Entire book of Revelation to be a candidate for marriage & motherhood in heaven. Have you read it through?
  • Alex N - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Acts 20 : 28 Feed the Church of God that he has purchased with his own Blood....The redemption of Humanity wd be of no effect unless Jesus was God the Son....Man's Blood cd not atone for sins PERIOD....All men carried the stain and the spot of Adam....There was none righteous no not one....Behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.....The blood of God...Jesus....As he was the LIVING WORD made flesh and blood.
  • Predestination - In Reply on John 10:36 - 3 years ago
    I'm probably not going to answer this Biblically enough. If you have a destination in mind_you buy a ticket and go stand on the train platform for boarding.

    If we wait to do something or respond; until "we feel like it", the moment can completely pass by us.

    No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Best to move on it when it today. " Today if you hear My Voice"
  • Mishael - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Hebrews Chapter 10

    23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)

    24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

    25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching

    26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

    Comment: in verse 25 we see the reason to attend church. To encourage each other, to pray together. Some people come in the doors beat up by life that week. This is our chance to please the Lord by being obedient to these Bible verses. One arm squeeze can mean a lot to someone; it says "I care."

    Social media doesn't offer that. It's everyone at home typing on a keyboard. I don't group this website into that media. We're typing yes, but we are genuinely interested in helping others with spiritual questions or just in need of prayer.
  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Well Rob, I don't struggle with this as the Scriptures are clear to me. You asked if there was a "man at the right hand of God?" To answer that as you gave it, I would say NO, only because that short statement doesn't reflect Christ's true personality & remains open to confusion & speculation. It only reflects His Humanity, devoid of His eternal existence & the Nature of His Resurrection.

    But if you asked, 'is there One called Jesus Christ, who came to Earth from Heaven ( John 3:13; John 6:38), from within the Person of God ( John 1:1-14), to become Man, died, arose from the grave, & now ascended to the right Hand of the Father, ever living as the Word of God made flesh (where Divinity has merged with Humanity) making intercession for His people, & one day returning to Earth in the same state that He left this Earth (as the Word of God: Revelation 19:13)?', then I would say, YES. Any other Jesus is, from my understanding of the Scriptures, to be another Jesus - One assumed maybe from incorrect teaching and/or a bias against the Plan of God to secure our salvation.

    If I avoided certain pertinent Scriptures revealing the full Nature of Christ, I could well agree with you. And some of us have shared those Scriptures, but receiving no exposition.
  • Chris - In Reply on 1 Thessalonians 4 - 3 years ago
    Thanks brother. I believe you've shared a well reasoned & fair understanding on this subject, one that the Word doesn't address with much detail.
  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Thanks brother Jesse. I had not looked at Matthew chapter 1 in that way. That gives greater clarity & substantiates the miraculous birth of Jesus as One wholly from God without any human input.

    I've always maintained that Mary contributed nothing to Jesus' Conception except being the 'vehicle' for delivering the Son of God, but often hear that Jesus received His Human side through her (i.e. her blood, DNA, etc.). Maybe that's true in part but I feel that this Holy Embryo had no human contribution to it.

    I believe that what you've shared in these pages now, prove that this Birth was wholly of God, & His Humanity was in fulfilment of the prophecies that went before Him, His identification with the people He (primarily) came for, and of course, that His Life might be sacrificed as an atonement for theirs & our sins. That the sacrifice had to be from within the Deity (seen now as His Son in the flesh), or else any other sacrifice would not satisfy the oft declared Nature of God, i.e. of His great Love for all mankind.

    Would any other sacrifice suffice to adequately deal with our sin, except that divinity should take on humanity for the suffering of death? Can we read of God's great love for us in the Word & believe that anything other than Himself could truly express that love? I don't believe anything or anyone else could - it had to be all of God. Thanks again for sharing those insights into the Word.
  • Chris - In Reply on Numbers 5 - 3 years ago
    Hi Diego. I don't believe that Numbers 5:27 supports abortion. As you have probably read the whole chapter, specifically from verses 12 to 31, you can see that determining the guilt is intended & not the destruction of the embryo.

    If the husband becomes suspicious of his wife, that she has been unfaithful to him, his wife would be brought to the priest for judging whether the husband's anger & suspicions are warranted. When the priest applies the test of the 'bitter waters', with the curse that if "her belly does not swell nor her thigh rot", then she is innocent & she will be able to become pregnant by her husband. But if guilty, then she will suffer physically & be a cast-off from society. These verses don't speak of whether conception had taken place if she was guilty - but certainly her organs around the belly might well include the womb which no longer would be able to bear children. I don't see anything more than the suffering of a guilty woman or the health of an innocent woman.

    Interesting verse to describe how God had to anoint Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power. Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
  • Jesse - In Reply on John 10:36 - 3 years ago
    Dave,

    John 10:29 is not talking about predestination and predestination has nothing to do with God choosing who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell. John 10:29 is showing the permanency of salvation to those who are presently saved.
  • Doug - In Reply on Leviticus 19 - 3 years ago
    Believers should not be unequally yoked to unbelievers. A new testament teaching. Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
  • Jesse - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Pat,

    In Ezekiel, where you see son of man in lower case, it is referring to the prophet Ezekiel. The phrase son of man would be the same as just saying man. Jesus many times in the New Testament calls Himself the Son of man referring to His humanity. Something also interesting to note is that in the Greek text, it has a definite article "the" before Son of man when referring to Jesus. He is the Son of man. It does not have a definite article before son of man when referring to Ezekiel. It just says son of man.

    So you have son of man and Son of man. Jesus is also called Jesus Son of the Father, but did you know that there is someone else in the Bible whose name is Jesus son of the father?

    Part 2.

    Please notice what's highlighted.

    Ephesians 1:3-10. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places( IN CHRIST:)

    According as he hath chosen us

    ( IN HIM ) before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

    Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

    To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted ( IN THE BELOVED.)

    In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

    Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

    Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

    That in the dispensation of the fulness of times HE MIGHT GATHER TOGETHER( IN ONE ) ALL THINGS IN CHRIST, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even IN HIM:

    So we have a way and a body ( The body of Christ ) that was fore ordained before the foundation of the world that we have been baptized into.

    God stands on the out side of time and sees the beginning and the end of the life of man like a picture. He's is foreknowing and his omniscience is not confounded by the present, It's future.

    Psalms 139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought AFAR OFF.

    Example: Isaiah 46:10.

    1 Peter 1:19-20 also tells us God knew Adam would sin. "But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

    Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

    No one is predetermined as you put it but God knows before hand who would come to him so by his foreknowledge he uses us as vessels as seen in Romans 9:21.

    I hope this helps

    God bless.
  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Dear Alex. We've been on this route before, hence my lack of responses to you. You believe that all mankind will be saved one day, even if it means some cleansing in judgement for preparation to salvation. You believe one is only born again at the last day in preparation for eternity. But you've never answered my questions put to you several times in the past, as to why should the Gospel be preached, if in the end God is bound to save all mankind? Why are we instructed to live holy lives now, dealing with sin, when eventually we will all be saved? You seem to propose some type of purgatory for full cleansing - maybe to attain rebirth.

    I realize that I've shared my own understanding of what I glean from your posts, but writing about 'baby Christs, Father, Son & Grandson, God's Name is Abraham, Isaac & Jacob', & such like, I find in contradiction to God's Word. But then you would know this from our earlier discussions. I believe you're a fine upstanding man who loves the Lord immensely, but I find you provide near to nothing as a basis for any meaningful discussion. You're interpretations & spiritualizations are far to extreme & remote for me to even understand. So, if you're prepared to answer my questions at face value & not get into obscure interpretations, we might have something to discuss. So thank you for your time & God bless.
