May God bless and keep you safe John .

May God bless you and may you grow closer to Him .

No problem and love to you in Christ.

What does it mean that we have a soul AND a spirit? I thought they were one in the same? Aren't they the same thing?

Yes, according to the Bible. It also depends on one's definition of "saved" and when this event occurs. Are people saved while still on earth instantly after they say their first prayer, at some point later, or are they saved after they are judged by God Himself? What does the Bible say...

1 Peter 1:5 - "...salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

Matthew 24:13 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

Hebrews 10:36 "For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise."

1 Cor 9:24-27 "run the race" (not the race was already won.)

2 Peter 3:17

Luke 8:5-18

1 Timothy 4:1

2 Peter 2:20-22

Hebrews 3:12

Galatians 5:4

1 Corinthians 15:2-8

1 Corinthians 4:5

2 Corinthians 5:10 whether "good or bad". People are sorted at this time.

Matthew 12:32 "...but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

OSAS believers: "Ok, but a Christian would never do that."

Christians no longer have freewill to sin?" Joshua 24:15 "choose you this day whom ye will serve"

"OSAS: But no one has ever done that."

Sadly, many Christians fall away. Look at "ex-Christian" on Reddit with 107,000 members. Very prominent pastors have denounced faith and later denied Jesus is Lord.

Matthew 7:21-23

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

Hebrews 6:4-6

James 2:14-26 "...faith, if it hath not works, is dead..."

James 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

1 Peter 1:13 "...hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"

Romans 11

John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Matthew 12:31-32

Romans 14:12

God bless and pray for wisdom and truth.

Hello Fabian TAIMABRI,

Genesis 1:27, notice: Genesis 1:26,28,29,

Genesis 2:7, interestingly here "formed, breathed life" is this symbolic of the Church the body of Christ to come? John 12:25, Genesis 3:22, John 5:26, John 5:24, John 3:36, John 6:48,54, Titus 1:2, Romans 8:6, John 5:39,

Is chapter 2, symbolic of the stewardship of GOD's Church? Genesis 2:15, Matthew 20:8, Luke 12:42, Mark 12,

Back to Genesis 1, "man appears to be collective for both" yes in name like human, humanity, humankind "man"

see even more interesting = Genesis 5:2,

GOD says distinctly female & male Genesis 1:27,

It appears it could be those created to multiply, fill the earth, subdue were away from the presence of GOD, again seeming to point to the symbolism in the garden "in the presence of GOD " His church. Genesis 3:8, Genesis 3:23-24, Genesis 4:14-16,

Genesis 2:17, spiritual death? Matthew 8:22, Luke 9:60, Matthew 22:32, Matthew 23:27,

In the forming of Eve, it appears also specific, spiritual & special with symbolism, Genesis 2:21-25, Genesis 6:1-3, Mark 10:4-9, 1Corinthians 6:15, Revelation 21:2,9, Isaiah 62:5, John 3:29-36, Matthew 22, Luke 12:36, Ephesians 5:30-32,

1Corinthians 13:9-12, James 1:5, Ephesians 3:4,

Hopefully these are all helpful

Can refusing to be baptized by submersion be an unpardonable sin? Ref. Matthews baptism of jesus.

What scripture talks about difficulty between father and daughter

Certainly no secret rapture

Dear Michele do u have a good answer: 1000 years from where?

We look at the sight do we not? Thats why all the Apostels did think that Jesus willl come back in their time, as we do. :) Here i Personal think we die and go right up to Jesus. After this life we cant find another.

God bless us all the day Jesus said the work is done. It is finished, the gift was given on Pentecost.

But we have to wait for Him to come back anyway. Because He must cast the devil, the antichrist, and the beast into the sea that boils with fire and brimstone. The last war must come.

Amen. God bless us all in Jesus name.

Did Jesus say you can't go to heaven unless you ask for forgiven

Dear Ronnette, i feel the same blessings from all here at the KJV web site. This is comforting all things in me in this last days.

Love y all and God have give us a wonderfull tools.

God bless us in Jesus name

Thank you

Thank you Adam and God bless

Thank you Chris ....and God bless

When I read this psalm in the KJV and NKJV, Wycliffe's Bible and RV1885 versions. I can't help but to interpret it in a totally opposite way to all the classic commentaries and indeed the more modern translations and their commentators.

The key difference in my mind arises from use of the archaic versions' words "filled with contempt" as opposed to the more contemporary versions' "endured no end of contempt".

I understand this psalm (ie the KJV version) to be similar to Ps:51 a cry for mercy by a sinner.

In that, the psalmist feels conviction of their collective contemptuous attitude which is both like the contempt of those who live at ease (the rich?) and also the contempt that the proud have for others.

I looked at the Hebrew and it's frustratingly unclear because of the Yoda style grammar.

I think the use of the word "mercy" is also really shaping my opinion because words like "salvation", "deliverance", "rescue", "save", "protection", "justice", "defence" are most generally used when the Psalmist is feeling oppressed and is seeking relief. "Mercy" feels more in line with repentance or confession.

Love to hear others' thoughts.

What dose jude mean about enoch 7th from adam

Part 2.

Although I believers are considered righteous and blameless before God due to the imputation of Christ's righteousness to us, I also believe that part of sanctification is an ongoing working of the Holy Spirit to guide us, show us our sinful habits and doings, and lead us to confess and repent of these sins. To say that one cannot sin any longer as a believer is not borne out in actual human daily living. I believe that any Christian who believes that they no longer sin is denying reality. Consider the way Jesus framed the commandments of God in Matthew 5-7, taking them down to the heart level, not just the outward actions. His words show that our hearts bring sin forward . Even if we do not act on what the heart brings up, it is still sin to, say, lust in our hearts, or think angry thoughts about another person, or be jealous of another, envious, or covet in our hearts what others have. It is still sin for believers to gossip about others, deliver a sharp word to others, lie to or about, belittle, or be dismissive of another. It is still sin to not help someone whom we could help, forget to pray for someone we said we would pray for, be distracted when we worship, neglect to read the Scripture as we have told God we would do, etc.

The differences between a believer and an unbeliever are not that we no longer sin, but that a believer has the Holy spirit living in us to sanctify us, effect grace in us, and turn our hearts to God and His ways when we stray away from him, along with many other blessings we now have because of this indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Believers have been cleansed of their sins due to Jesus' sacrifice. We are given grace that empowers us to say no to sin and yes to what is right for us to do. Unbelievers lack this power nor the will to be obedient to God.

I hope this helps to clarify my viewpoint, Doug. Have a great day today. I am off to run errands.

Good Morning Doug,

I think you completely misunderstood my post and my viewpoint. i am not living under the Law or the Old Covenant.

What I was saying about daily sin was of the manner as what Paul says to take every thought captive to the Word of God. So, for example, I heard a song in a store the other day while shopping. It was American Pie by don Maclean. It is a sacrilegious song misusing the names of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. This song kept coming up in my mind because the tune is catchy. I had to go to the Lord and ask Him to take that song out of my mind each time. This just shows the sinful nature at work in me.

Or, for another example, if I am in the store and succumb to impulse buying, that is the sinful nature rising up in me again. It is unnecessary for me to buy things I do not need or perhaps will not even use. In such situations, the Holy Spirit makes me aware of these occasions of sin, and I repent and ask for forgiveness and help to resist such things in the future.

I think that every Christian sins daily in thought, word, deed, motivation, or in failing to do what God wants us to do in a situation. That is why John spoke about this in 1John 1, urging us to not think that we are without sin, but to confess our sins to God and be confident that He is faithful and just to cleans us from all unrighteousness.

I do believe that the only way we can stand righteous before God is by the imputation of the righteousness of Jesus Christ to us. I do believe that all of my sins are taken away by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. I do believe that His resurrection brings us new life and the hope of the resurrection of our bodies at His second coming.

Please, I ask that you address my viewpoint in replying to me, not evaluate my spiritual condition. I was addressing the doctrine of spiritual perfection as taught by John Wesley and many Pentacostal/holiness churches. I believe this doctrine to be in error.

see part 2

born of the spirit is to: (to put it short & simple).. believe in Jesus Christ (Birth, Death & Resurrection) in your heart, & living accordingly.! Reading & studying the bible for answers not relying on others is a good step. *Loving God w/all your heart, soul & mind.! Love your neighbor as yourself. on these 2 commandments hang ALL the laws and prophets. Matthew 22:37-40

Than you. now I remember asking the Question to this answer.

Henry:

Genesis 19:37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites until this day,

Genesis 19:38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-am-mi: the same is the father or the children of Ammon unto this day.

God uses men and women for his purpose and his pleasure.

God used Lot and his daughters to bring forth two nations.

Philippians 2:13 For it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do his good pleasure.

Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another vessel to dishonour?

John 18:38 Pilate said unto him, What is truth?

Lot and his daughters died, probably not knowing, truth.

God Bless you.

I had the most wonderful time this morning reading all comments and the explanations about this chapter after reading the entire Chapter 1. I thank God and praise The LORD for all of you. I seldom read something that really encourages me, specially when you are in bed sick and covered with boils. It is not like Job, but enough to pull you down. Despite that situation, I want you all to know, you all made me so comforted. I love to read from the saints comments all the time. I continue to pray for all of you and we continue to pray for Israel's safety and salvation. Agape.

Hey Fabian,

First, I would like to say one truth that cannot be misinterpreted, or overlooked, after the flood all mankind are descendants of Adam and Eve. There was 1656 years from the creation of Adam to the flood and only 5 chapters of Genesis, a lot of things are not written. Tradition strongly holds Adam was the first man and says chapter 2 is a closer look of man in day six.

There are two Adams in scripture the first one was disobedient the last one was obedient, and the last Adam was manifested to undo the works of the devil. Was the first Adam part of this plan that Satan had no clue? Is that what the tradition overlooks? We see in 1 Corinthians 15:47 Adam was the first man, but it also says Jesus was the second man. Romans 5:14 the first Adam was a figure of the one to come.

Does scripture line up with the tradition of Adam and Eve being the male and female in day six without questions? The herbs and fruit trees in day 3 are seed yielding, they would reproduce themselves with no cultivation needed, all animals and man ate plants. In chapter 2 the plants were of the field they had to be cultivated, a garden has to be planted and tilled to grow.

In day 5 the fowls came out of the water. In chapter 2 there were fowls formed out of the ground and brought to Adam. Are they the same fowls? In day 6 the beast and cattle of the earth before man, in chapter 2 beast and cattle of the field after Adam. Are they the same? Look at the description of the words earth and field.

In day 6 man was told to be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and have dominion over every living thing upon the earth. Could Adam and Eve obey these commandments from inside the garden?

There is more I could say, the only thing that cannot be denied mankind are descendants of Adam and the last Adam Jesus is from the line of Adam through Seth.

What would it change if Adam was not the first human? Nothing. Do we strain at a gnat and swallow a camel?

God bless,

RLW

Amen Brother Fred!

God Bless You!

Amen brother Butch! Can't go a day without opening it! Has to be KJV though...

When thou passest through the waters,

I will be with thee;

and through the rivers,

they shall not overflow thee:

when thou walkest through the fire,

thou shalt not be burned;

neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Isaiah 43:2

You shall see the pillar of fire , the same one that led the Hebrews out of captivity by night!

You shall see the cloud that gathered them and led them during the day!

You are the chosen generation.

The one's, who the Shekinah shall live within, even as He lived in the tents ,the synagogues, the temples of old!

Only this time He will come, and those who have Him in them will be like Him. They will be the one's that will be taken into the shekinah of everlasting glory!

This one is the Savior of the world , the true shekinah!

He came for His own and His own received Him not! Even so, He bids all to come into the temple, the temple found in His Son!

This the final shekinah sacrifice!

It Is for all, not just the Hebrews!

This they yet deny today! As you see the changes developing around you! Indeed our redemption draws nigh. His glory more prevalent with each passing day. You must be in the right place at the right time! If not you, will be left and die in your sin! These are His words of promise!

If He is not in you ,you shall be left and not taken into everlasting glory! Hebrew or not! This the Christ you deny!

You cannot take your money, your good works, you cannot take anything with you! Look up while your redemption draws nigh!

Repent and be Baptized

Jesus always existed as he says before Abraham was i am...But he had to make his debut via a seed which was the living WORD that came out of his Father's mouth ...He was always the living word of God the FATHER. from the beginning .

.....Lkewise the H.G. EMANUEL Always existed but he will make his debut in humanity via the seed of Jesus his Father 's WORDS

.....Thus when the H.G, Emanuel Regenerates himself via his seed his words ( the Contents of the Book ) he will become as the stars of Heaven,...Thus an Israel of God....Its the H.G. that is God with us...Which is the Comforter an Israel of God...That Heavenly Jacob.....They don't call Jesus the bridegrorom for nothin....he is gonna impregnate this whole world with is precious seed which is the Father's will...The words of the book the new Covenant...It was the Father that wanted to be as the stars of heaven...As God sword by himself when he made that Promise of the multipliciation of Christ's seed....Which was a heavenly Promise....As we have borne the image of the earthly we must also bear the image of the heavenly...Which is that baptism of PROMISE...The baptism of the H.G....That New CREATURE is born in US via his seeds...WHEN THE BOOK is opened.

Dear GiGi, please read the reply I made to Giannis and ponder what I am saying. We will not reach "sinless perfection" by the methods of man. We have to be careful of people that say they can lead us to sinlessness and perfection by their methods. Even though the Bible don't address "sinless perfection" together it does address both. It seems a contradiction to me your quote the longer and deeper we follow our Saviour, Jesus Christ, the more acute is our awareness of our own sinfulness and the many ways we sin each day. We should belief the goal of the Bible and Jesus is to take away sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness and be like him. Eph. 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: I believe this righteousness is imputed not imaginary. 1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin." Your statement and belief seems to me like one is living under the old law and maybe even worse. They had a remembrance of sins yearly and you have a remembrance of sins daily. Hebrews 10: 1-4 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. My encouragement is to read carefully, examine your motives and ask yourself if your truly desire to leave the things you feel guilty about each day. Read the context of Jesus parable about the unjust judge and widow. He poses the question if he will find faith when he returns. Lets believe his word.

Dear Giannis I am not going to address all your thoughts on this topic. The first one we can agree on is that we all say the scripture is true. We think we are differing in interpretation. The interpretation you are struggling with is the interpretation of people's lives. Why is man (that is supposedly sinning every day) capable of determining who is sinless and who is perfect). If you were living with Jesus would you have said he was sinless and perfect. Matthew 21:12 "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves," Would you have said He was "pissed off" , angry, lack of restraint, not patient or intolerant? I haven't see that many people that angry. Could you have rightly interpreted his actions to say he was sinless and perfect? He told his disciples "how is it that ye have No faith" and "how long shall I suffer you" (put up with you). If you were there or you here a person today say something like it. How do you measure that person. Steffen told the leaders (which we are to obey) "You do always resist the Holy Ghost". That sounds very proud and judgmental against authority. I wonder how many of us living today would have followed Jesus and if we saw him would we say he was a "perfect, sinless man". The only reason we do is because the Bible says he was. I differ from your view point about capability. Some scriptures Eph. 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 2 Cor. 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
