  • Adam Had Only One Woman: EVE - In Reply on Proverbs 31 - 3 years ago
    Genesis 1:26 and the evening and the morning were the 6TH DAY

    Genesis 2:18

    Moses is adding additional information about the creation of Adam and Eve. The part when God takes one of Adams ribs to make Eve.

    It took a RIB BONE to make Eve. Adam has just so many rib bones. You are twisting scripture and cannot prove your statement.

    Adams Geneology chart will prove this. Time was created in Genesis 1:1 "in the beginning".

    Marriage Prayer

    Dear God,

    Thank you for this day. Thank you for my husbands life, and my life. I ask that you would protect us from the schemes of the devil. He has been trying to distract us, frustrate us and tempt us to sin against each other. Holy Spirit enable us to resist the devils temptations and distractions. In moments of weakness please help us to give each other grace and forgiveness. Help us to support each other and be accountable on a daily basis; according to your Love. Please make me aware of any sin or unforgiveness that is at work in me, and the strength to repent and walk away from it. Help my mate to do the same. Increase our desire to stand together under Your Protection. Psalm 91. We desire to walk together according to your Word written in 1 Corinthians 13.

    Feel free to add some more requests right here. Personalize.
  • Finding Love Through Gods Love For Us - In Reply on Joshua 1 - 3 years ago
    You sound like me 40 years ago. My love life was many betrayals. I blamed God. Rama's far as I could, BUT He came to get me at my lowest point in life (near to death). He came to my house because I wasn't going to church.

    He let me see Him, I felt like I had been resuscitated. Shocked. I was accused by a pal that astrology was FALSE. 2 Timothy 3:5. I had an old Bible, never opened. I read every scripture on stars, astrologers, false teachers, and then I saw the death sentence (promise) for being an astrologer.

    My salvation was at home and I heard the wind of the Holy Spirit in my house!'

    Please listen to me. In Song of Solomon, God says, I AM MY BELOVEDS AND MY BELOVED IS MINE. He says it 3 times. God loves you. That love is never going to leave you. He loves you so much, His Son bled and died for you. He is waiting to be the Lover of your soul. In Genesis 24 (I call it the True Romance Chapter).

    God brings the man to his wife to be. She totally waters his camels with her veil on. She was obedient and fell in love at first sight of Isaac. She returned to his house on a journey, and was married in the presence of Isaacs ailing mother and with Abraham, Isaacs Dad. Time passes and it says that Isaac died with joy and happiness of that good marriage. Read it.

    This time, after you fully commit your life to Jesus; pick a Bible Teaching Church. Help out in childrens church part time. Attend Singles meetings or start one: like potluck lunches after church. Be visible to the single guys. They are looking for a "Rebekah". A woman of character.

    It's not about physical beauty. It's how a man knows to respect a woman. Meet her family. Let her Dad know she will be treated with respect. You'll find your mate

    For now, ask the Lord to cleanse, restore your virtue, and make old memories and betrayals FADE_and restore to patient expectations.

    Rekindle your relationship with your Dad. Ask him what made him pick your mother?

  • The Work of the Godhead in Genesis - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Trinity, in Christian doctrine, the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead. The doctrine of the Trinity is considered to be one of the central Christian affirmations about God. ROMANS 1:20

    Comment: Beloved, the word Trinity is not in the King James Bible.

    Another religion penned that word. It defines as, THREE. Like Tres, in Spanish means three. Etc

    Romans 1:20 clearly shows that Godhead is Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Three in One.

    Ephesians 4:5

    One Lord, one faith, one baptism

    1 Timothy 2:5

    For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

    1 Corinthians 12:13

    For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into ONE Spirit.

    Romans 1:20

    For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD, so that they are without excuse:

    Colossians 2:9

    For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

    GENESIS 1:1

    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

    2 And the earth was without form, and void; and DARKNESS was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God MOVED upon the face of the waters.

    3 And God said, Let there be LIGHT: and there was light. [Jesus is Light]

    God started Time, for man

    Genesis 1:1

    God SPOKE, Genesis 1:3

    God Made, Genesis 1:7

    Romans 1:20

    We need to put our faith in God NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE write in science websites. A mission to a planet will not explain creation. Dead planets have water beds; once having had water. But observations have proved no other planets have abundant water, visible, like Earth.

    This is Gods Purpose. That we follow His Son, Jesus Christ in salvation with the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

    All of the Beauty and Wonder of a self sustaining EARTH, should help us trust God and follow Jesus.

  • JESUS'S WORK WHILE HIS BODY WAS IN THE TOMB - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Some believe that while Jesus' body was in the tomb, His spirit was in hell.Scripture doesn't support that position when it is taken in context and we look at the meaning of the word "hell." In the Old Testament, the place of the dead or the place of departed souls was called "SHEOL." It was to this place that all SOULS of the dead went to await resurrection.

    In the KJV, we find the story of Lazarus and the rich man who both died and went to Hades ( Luke 16:19-31). The KJV translates the Greek word "hades" as hell but most other translations use the Greek word. HADES had two separated parts: Those who died in faith believing in God's promise waited for the resurrection in Abraham's Bosom. Those who died spiritually separated from God wait in torment for the resurrection unto death, eternal separation from God. The rich man was on the torment side and Lazarus was in ABRAHAMS BOSOM which was called "PARADISE" by the LORD Jesus Christ himself when He addressed the thief who found faith the day Jesus was crucified ( Luke 23:42-43)

    For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment" ( 2 Peter 2:4). The word translated "HELL" here is not the Greek word "HADES" but is the Greek word "TARTARUS" meaning ABYSS or the lowest regions. This could very well be the "gulf" that was fixed between the PLACE OF TORMENT and Abraham's Bosom ( Luke 16:26).

    Wherefore He saith, When JESUS ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fulfill all things" ( Ephesians 4:8-10). Leading captivity captive seems to refer to Jesus taking all those that waited in Paradise, to heaven to be with Him. The descending into the "lower parts" then refers to Jesus mission of declaring Victory
  • The Last Battle after the Tribulation - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Revelation 14:20

    And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

    Revelation 19:19

    And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him (JESUS) that sat on the horse, and against his army.

    Revelation 19:21

    And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his MOUTH: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

    [This passage uses the symbolism of grapes in a winepress to describe the eventual defeat of the wicked in the end times. As grapes are crushed and broken to release wine, the bodies of God's enemies will be smashed in a bloody defeat. Taken in absolutely literal terms, this verse describes a cascade of blood some five or six feet (2 meters) high and 180 miles (290 kilometers) long. Most interpreters see this as primarily symbolic. Some suggest that what's described is a 1600-stadia zone of carnage during battle, so violent that blood is splattered as high as the head of a horse.

    Whether entirely or partly poetic, one thing is certain: this judgment creates a gory scene. Revelation 19:13 pictures Jesus as having blood on His robe as He rides into warfare against the wicked. Although some believe this is the blood Jesus shed on the cross, others see this as the blood of His enemies. The interpretation that it is the blood of His enemies is supported by the prophetic picture given in Isaiah 63:2-4. Jesus' defeat of His enemies at the end of the tribulation will be absolute and terrible.]

  • Jesse - In Reply on Romans 15 - 3 years ago
    Serita,

    I am sorry to hear of your MS. Being diagnosed with MS may not have anything to do with something you're doing wrong. It definitely doesn't have anything to do with a lack of faith. There is no such thing as a person who has been born of the Spirit of God having a lack of faith because spiritual faith is not something we can produce. If you have received Christ, you have already healed. You have been healed spiritually. Sin is a spiritual disease and Jesus Christ is the remedy for that. That's what He heals us from, sin. Although He can and does heal people physically, there is no promise that He will always do so. But please know that whatever we suffer in the flesh, it has nothing to do with our lack of faith. You are doing nothing wrong!
  • Psalm 11:3 FOUNDATION meaning - In Reply on Psalms 11 - 3 years ago
    This verse is often cited when referring to the collapse of godly authority. The Hebrew phrasing here can be taken in more than one way. This is most often translated as asking "if-or when-this happens, what can good people then do?" Another possibility is to render this as asking "what have good people accomplished?" In either case, this verse warns of catastrophic results when fundamental principles are destroyed. In David's immediate case, this refers to his role as Israel's king and the consequences of abandoning that role. In a more general sense, it speaks to the ruin a society will face when the most basic aspects of godliness are removed.

    David knew what would happen if the enemy triumphed. Because he was Israel's king, if the enemy succeeded, the nation's very foundations would be destroyed. Law and order grounded in righteousness and justice, under the headship of the godly king, would crumble. Evil and chaos would ensue. What could the righteous do in such a situation? Of course, David believed he would prevail. He was sure that law and order would continue. His trust was in the Lord ( Psalm 11:4), therefore he was confident the enemy would not triumph.

    Years later, God allowed Babylon to carry Israel into captivity because of her idolatry and neglect of the Sabbath. In both a symbolic and literal sense, the foundations were destroyed-including the demolition of the temple from its cornerstones. But in his perfect timing, God raised up Ezra to return to Jerusalem and lay the foundation ( Ezra 3). If doctrinal error destroys a church's foundation of truth, believers must restore the foundation before any healing can happen. Congregations must heed the Lord's admonitions to be and do what He desires ( Revelation 2:3)

    The foundation of law and must be repaired and supported by the God loving community.

    Revelation 14:20,
  • T. Levis - In Reply on Psalms 11 - 3 years ago
    1st, because this scripture has put an emotion in you. I assume GOD is working on something within you, possibly to show you truth or study deeper.

    2nd, pray for wisdom also James 1:5, in what GOD wants to reveal to you, deeper than I may show you.

    3rd, to me I understand this Psalms 11, & Psalms 11:3, appears to be written by David, it seems to point to when he was being pursued by Saul into the mountains. Please read 1Samuel 19:10, 1Samuel 18:29, 1Samuel 23:26, could David be referring to the foundation being destroyed referring to himself? 1Kings 9:5, Jeremiah 33:17, Psalms 132:11, being the promise of GOD to establish HIS throne through David?

    4th, because the temple wasn't made yet, 1Chronicles 28:3-21, Psalms 127:1,

    5th, however David's Psalms were also prophetic like Psalms 22,

    6th, Jesus being in the lineage of David: Matthew 22:42, Acts 13:22, Matthew 1:1,

    7th, other scripture: Isaiah 28:16, 1Corinthians 3:11-17,

    Hopefully this is helpful

    Spencer Isaiah 11 is using Jesse David and Solomon as symbolic language for a kingdom coming in the last days...When God was gonna set his hand a 2 nd time to recover the remnant of his ppl... Isaiah 11 : 7...But just think a minute Isaiah lived approx. 300 yrs AFTER Jesse David and Solomon but Isaiah is still using these 3 men as symbolic language for a kingdom coming in the last days...Which speaks volumes of the trinity being Father son and GRANSON...Solomon was the Granson that God wanted to build the great temply not David the Son...Ya see that ?....It was in the heart of David to build the temple...But God wd not let David the son build the temple...Why am i saying this...simply b/c Jesus is not gonna build the temple in our hearts...Its gonna be the H.G. that heavenly Solomon..That special son that came out of Davids loins is just prophetic of a special son that is gonna come out of Christ loins...When he breathe on them they received the H.G. The H.G. IS that child OF Promise that Greater then Solomon that is here Jesus mentions...As our bodies are the temple of the H.G.....OK I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT...I believe this JESSE DAVID SOLOMON RELATIONSHIP IS JUST PROPHETIC OF THE Father Son and the H.G....Which was liturally Father Son and Granson....As Solomon was the Granson....Remember Jesus said that it is expedient for you that I go away if i go not away the Comforter will not come....David had to die that Solomon wd be King....Jesus had to go away that the kingdom wd come...But Jesus said whosoever receiveth one such child in my name receiveth ME..GOD...ok
  • Jesse - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Kim,

    In John Chapter 19, it tells us that at the moment before Jesus died on the cross, He dismissed His Spirit. His body was taken down from the cross and was laid in the grave for three days, but it tells us in Ephesians Chapter 4 that He (His Spirit) descended into the lower parts of the earth. So, His body laid in the grave for three days, but not His Spirit.

    When they told Jacob that Joseph his son was alive and 2 nd only to Pharoah....Jacob packed up everything and went to Egypt., Gen 48 : 1..Stood before Joseph and said lo i had not thought to see your face ever again ..But lo God has not only showed me your face but also your SEED MANASSEH AND EPHIAIM.... Gen 48 : 11 Which is a picture of US The Church.

    .....Lots of us didn't ever think we wd see Jesus ever...But not only will we see Jesus again we are gonna also see his SEED the H.G. the Children of Promise...By the new birth...ok...i just had to mention that....I love to read about Joseph, brings tears to my eyes....Isaiah said he wd see his seed and be satisfied.

    Amen Gigi.

    As you said this is nothing new, It's been going on for years.

    These messages should be Christ centered.

    When I first encountered this on a year and a half ago. Myself and others reasoned with this person to no avail.

    He left the site for a few months then returned quietly looking for an opportunity or opening, I was curious to see if anything has changed. Once I saw there was no change and no message for salvation I no longer respond or read any of their comments, replies, or posts.

    I've heard all their views, I'm sure nothing has changed.

    There's no virtue from those who constantly reject scripture and besides they're not trying to win us over but they're trying to use us as a springboard to spread their message.

    A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

    Titus 3:10.

    God bless.
  • Adam - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Hi Dav47, thanks for sharing that, but those verses don't say anything about gender either, and not anything about being genderless in heaven. You said there's lots of them, but so far nothing you've shared say that. So, without the Bible actually saying that, I don't believe your assumption that there's no gender in heaven. God bless.

    THE SEED

    Luke 8:11 Now the PARABLE is this: The SEED is the WORD of God.

    John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was GOD.

    One of God's LAWS is that SEED always MULTIPLIES itself.

    NO ONE can plant a wheat seed and harvest a watermelon seed.

    If wheat seed is planted; wheat seed is harvested. It's a LAW of God.

    The WORD says that the SEED is the WORD, and that WORD is GOD, and God is SPIRIT, the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost.

    Christ (the man, the angel of the Lord, the Holy Ghost) is THE SEED planted IN US, Christ is the SEED that will be harvested (we, no longer flesh and blood, a man, an angel of the Lord, the Holy Ghost).

    The SEED harvested is ALWAYS exactly like the SEED planted.

    The HARVEST IS RIPE. We are awaiting the HARVEST, to depart this flesh.

    Isaiah 63:9 ....and the Angel of his (the Father's) presence saved them......

    God Bless YOU!

    Dear Tata Bita,

    Please scratch the word triune from my response as it, along with the word trinity seem to be offensive. It is never my intent to offend anyone by the words I choose. This brother is correct about these words not being found anywhere in scripture. And I apologize to you my brother "The Godhead" for not using the word Godhead. That would have been the correct word to use. I agree with what you posted and over the years I have always enjoyed reading your posts. I did not mean to offend anyone here. Again, please disregard the word "triune" from my response.

    Jeremiah 17:5 - Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

    Psalms 118:9 - It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

    Our trust should be placed wholly in Christ Jesus and none other. We do have families, there are friends but even some of those I've come across who seem to be the most trustworthy; they'll betray you when you most or least expect. We as humans are not equipped to keep promises, to bestow trust but to learn from Christ's example on how to live. We need to have fellowship with other Christians, we need family and we need to be part of the body (the church). However, how much you give of yourself to man...that's something I'd always do with a certain precaution.

    Ending with again Psalms 118 but verse 8:

    Psalms 118:8 - It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

    Ephesians 4:11-12

    "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:"

    Although I sincerely believe two of these were fulfilled my the perfect which is Revelation but evangelists, pastors and teachers remain in the post-apostolic/early church. There have always been women evangelists and teachers. Now, bishop (not referring to what catholics or lutherans may define of that role) was a type of pastor; that's where things have gotten out of order a bit in modern churches. When the role of bishop/pastor is held by a woman...it does make me scratch my head a bit. Why?

    1 Timothy 3:2

    "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;"

    "...the husband of one wife..." That cannot be translated to mean woman. The word man can as in Genesis sometimes the word man was in reference to mankind (which includes woman). But if a woman says, "I'm the pastor of the church." My question is, "then you must also be the husband of one wife?" Now, sometimes a pastor (husband & wife) lead a ministry jointly and the husband dies...I've seen the wife step up and I don't really see a problem with that. What I see a problem with are the Joyce Meyers' types out there who believe they are the head in God's order. They weren't called to that role but they self appointed. Regardless, it's not scriptural.

    When ya think about the Trinity think about Father Son and GRANSON...Abraham issac and jacob...Abraham offered up his only son just like God Almighty offered u his only son Jesus....Without this Abrahamic Trinity there wd have been no nation of ISRAEL...There is no more a beautiful way to describe the Trinity then Father Son and GRANSON...There cannot be an ISRAEL OF God without this Father son and Granson scenario...The great Promise when God swore by himself was heavenly multiplication of Christ Seed...The H.G is the Granson simply b/c Christ is the Father of the H.G....The H.G cannot be born in us without the seed of Christ...When he breathe on them he was propagating very God the H.G the Granson with his word which is his seed Thats y jesus refers to the H.G. as the promise seed...The H.G FULFILLS the Promise which is multiplication of Christ seed...A Granson..The Child of promise...REMEMBER multipliciation was the Promise..thus a baby Christ...The H.G.

    .....Don'cha see that Jesus is gonna initiate an ISRAEL OF GOD WITH HIS PRECIOUS SEED...Thats y he is saying whosoever receiveth one such Child in MY NAME RECEIVETH ME...GOD...Spirit...Without this Abrahamic type of a Trinity Father son and granson there can be no multiplication of Christ seed...An Israel of God...which are the Children of Promise...When Isaiah saw the Kingdom coming he refers to Christ as everlasting Father simply b/c Christ is the Father of the H.G....HIS OFFSPRING the babes and sucklings....Answer to the woman with Child and she that travails with Child...The Church/ humanity the whole WORLD....An Israel of God,,The Children of PROMISE.

    ......Thats y God told Moses that his name was Abraham Issac and Jacob...This abrahamic trinity is a perfect profile for the heavenly Trinity....Father Son and H.G ( GRANSON ) .....Outa of Jacob came the 12 tribes....Outta of the Kingdom comes the 12 manner of fruit....ok

    When someone says we will not be Gods they are in essence saying there will be no marriage to Christ who is also God the son....We cannot do away with the Marriage Scriptures... Rev 21 : 2 Kjv...John said he saw the Holy City that New Jerusalem coming down from heaven as a Bride adorned for husband...We are gona be married to Gd/Christ...And that is gonna make us 1 with God...And in John 2 There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee and Jesus mother was there with his disciples...His mother is the ones who birth him in the spirit...They are the true disciples...The 3 rd day is just prophetic that the marriage of the lamb is gona be the 3 r day...2 k yrs have already gone by 2 days...we are now in the begining of the 3 r day...Today is the day of the wedding this millennium...And we will be made 1 with God..Thus we will be Gods...Thats y the sower will have to go forth and sow his seed in US...we are gona marry our sons which is the H.G. PLURAL..The SON OF MAN ....Isaiah said as a young man marries a virgin so shall thy SONS MARRY THEE...As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride so shall thy God rejoice over thee... Isaiah 62 : 5 KJV....

    ......There is no way we cannot be Gods if the Kingdom of God is gona be with in us..As Jesus said... And we are gona be married to God....When the scrip. say there was a marriage in Canna of Galilee on the 3 rd day....Its just prophetic of his marriage to the Church the 3 rd day...That New WINE the 3 rd day is prophetic of the New Covenant on the 3 rd day...WHEN THE BOOK IS OPENED...Resulting in the best wine the 3 r day....Jesus said if any man believe in me and the works that i do...These works shall he do also AND GREATER THEN THESE WILL HE DO....Don'cha see we cd not do the works Jesus did and greater if we were not Gods....Only God cd do the works Jesus did and greater.....ok mi voy...yo ledoy gracias par el spirtu Santo mi Padre....Undaley
