    Hello, Cyril

    I read your post and tried to make good sense out of it as it is composed of many words that are more archaic than what we use today. But for me, I think that you were extolling the greatness of our wonderful God. That is always a good thing to do any day any time.
  • Richard H Priday - In Reply on Luke 16 - 4 years ago
    I will quote some verses but am too lazy to look them up. Christ told some that how could he trust them with heavenly treasure if they weren't faithful with heavenly treasure (probably the parable of the talents). We are given in this lifetime "unrighteous mammon" and in some sense are to work with others in this world but not be of it to demonstrate using our resources faithfully. There certainly can be more than money involved such as time and a person's spiritual giftings. There is a warning verse in Revelation not to "lose our reward" so at the very least there are eternal positions of authority of rewards at stake. Another verse in the gospels explains that God will give "authority over many or few cities" depending on our stewardship now. In some sense as we are said for our "reasonable service" we are to be living sacrifices with our bodies as the Temple of the Holy Spirit this shows good stewardship in buffeting our bodies. All good gifts come from above; therefore we need to be proactive in performing "good works given to us to do from before the foundation of the world". There is also danger that an unregenerate soul such as Judas Iscariot the "son of perdition" a type of Antichrist himself may be allowed for a time to take advantage of the "filthy lucre" as so many TV evangelists today typify. It is the love of money at the root of all evil; not money itself. Money is a means to an end; either leading to selfishness falling for Satan's lies (which Christ clearly rejected as He was the only one who could be given a temptation of sharing the authority of the whole world that Satan was given); or for the sake of the gospel; missionary work and building up of the local church through faithful giving. We should be careful in that regard to "not let our right hand know what our left hand is doing"-to proclaim our "acts of righteousness" or promote our ministry unnecessarily is not good. We are all unworthy servants doing what we are told.

    I will quote some verses; I suggest that you look at google to find where they are and exact wording. In the time before Christ; as the parable of Lazarus and the rich man (nameless) demonstrate from a REAL story not an allegory; that the souls of men (ALL) remained under the earth; either in paradise or in sheol (both were under the earth at the time). Clearly; one was a pleasant place and one of torment. When Christ died; he promised the thief on the cross that "today you shall be with me in paradise." That meant what it said for THAT day; at that point Christ according to Peter "proclaimed" or preached to those who were under the earth; then led "captivity captive." Therefore; three days later many PHYSICALLY resurrected it would seem from scripture; and ALL souls of the righteous were delivered as Satan no longer had any AUTHORITY to hold anyone as he did previous to Christ's atonement in time and space; therefore as Corinthians states "absent from the body is present with the Lord." Under the earth; therefore it is erroneous that some in reformed circles and perhaps others state that anyone is in paradise under the earth except for the unregenerate today. There are of course spiritual beings there as well; some of the angels in a separate area called "Tartarus" or the bottomless pit. The "New Jerusalem" simply is the CITY IN heaven; which would appear to be a body or planetary type object. It will; according to scripture eventually land on earth after being suspended above during the Millennium. People will clearly be AWARE of God and Christ on the throne by the sixth seal in Revelation.

  • Cyril Muhammad - 4 years ago
    Before word,have I created the conscience of being,to simplicate the definitive of idol worshipations. For,by the language of time am I spoken without an excession of created term. Inevitability differentiates contendance to present my presence about none given to an first and last enviousness of my holiness. What ignorance has observed through worldly intends to attain an heavenly freedom,is but my arrival above the obedience of written commandments witnessing my divine surpassing of the physications of taught intellects. For,once I am spiritually entered into the oracle of creation,then am I become the externalizer of the mind made honored by expressive factions. The unknown sense of creation I ascend by what is beyond the human interpretation of being,revealing to the faith of creation that I respect no innovation of the created curiosity about my noble concerns for every repented soul. Those deceptions existent for my greater descernment,is only lived inferior to my superior righteous insight that exceeds the expectations of the defiant despisements of my spiritual intelligence. Already have I mastered the proverbial maneuverability by disciplining my chosen mind- state beyond what the human informative can approach into,for,I am no seeker for an end to an reason for existing,but am found as the object sought for,as an means to exist in prosperation. Thought is but finite to my prophetical establishment for the furthering of divine knowledge and there survives no mortality beyond my resurrecting of the prophetical promise. Over human servitude I subject the will of creation to my demands for authentic inclusions through sacred prostrations making the talents of fearing persons uplift my nature within the hearts and minds of all who would die for my secureations against opposing thinkers. The universe itself cannot contain my whole presence,for I ascend above the heaven of heavens reproving perfectionism as the reason for my dwelling among creation.

    Psalms 22 THE KJV.......This is the Israel of God....the H.G. as the Stars of Heaven
  • Richard H Priday on Isaiah 26 - 4 years ago
    Verses 17 through 21 give a clear indication of the rapture/resurrection of the righteous; and the burden of those left behind who themselves weren't delivered. There is a personalized assurance of resurrection for the prophet (verse 19); and this is similar to the verse in Job which states something similar in the last days. The birth pangs in verse 16 and 17 show how the nation cries out to God in that period of time; which makes the most sense after the rapture of the church and Resurrection of O.T. saints. Interestingly the increase of the nation is indicated twice in verse 15 after an earlier diaspora; which could show that a second phase of that is yet to come (perhaps after defeat of the armies in the Psalm 83 war). Going back to verse 10 and 11 we see a Millennium reference to when God's majesty even in a land of "uprightness" and destruction either at Armageddon or the end of the Millennial period is indicated with fire devouring them (also of course indicative of eternal destruction in hellfire). The chapter begins with the edifice of what no doubt will constitute the heavenly city or Jerusalem during the Millennium; when the hope waited for in verse 8 is finally realized for His people. Those who tread down the lofty city in verse 6 sound similar to the verse about trodding on the ashes of the wicked in Malachi 4:3.
  • Ronald Whittemore - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hey S Spencer,

    This is not to debate; I enjoy reading your posts and benefit from them, and you make this site better. Acts 17:26 one blood, I agree all nations including me and you are from one blood and that is from Adam. I am not one that believes in the gap theory I take the six days of creation as written to be the only time this world and universe were created.

    I understand the tradition of Adam and Eve being the first man and woman goes back forever but to put Adam and Eve in day six we have to look over scripture that does not support them to be the "male and female created he them". It does say all nations are of one blood, but that blood was saved in the ark with Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth of the blood of Adam and Seth the blood line to Jesus.

    My understanding is the first man, the first Adam was the first part of the plan of salvation and to undo the works of the devil, with the last part with the second man and the last Adam, Jesus Christ 1 Corinthians 15:45-47. If Adam and Eve were not the man and woman in day six nothing changes other than a tradition. All nations are of the blood of Adam and the sin that comes with it.

    God bless and have a great day.

  • TWO MEN NAMED ENOCH in Bible Genealogy - In Reply - 4 years ago
    The first Enoch was the son of Cain.

    He is described as a son of Cain, and father of Irad. After Cain arrived in the Land of Nod, to which he was evicted by the Lord as his punishment for murdering his brother Abel. His wife became pregnant and bore Cain's first child, whom he named Enoch.

    The SECOND Enoch was a descendant of SETH, the third son of Adam, and great-grandfather of NOAH ( Genesis 5:22-29). SETH is the bloodline of Jesus Christ ancestors and Must Not be Confused with Cains ancestor.

    First Book of Enoch was at first accepted in the Christian Church but later excluded from the biblical canon. Its survival is due to the fascination of marginal and heretical Christian groups, such as the Manichaeans, with its syncretic blending of Iranian, Greek, Chaldean, and Egyptian elements.

    Justin, Athenagoras, Irenaeus, Clemens Alexandrinus, Lactantius, and others borrowed an opinion out of this Book of Enoch, that the angels had connection with the daughters of men, of whom they had offspring (Nephilim: 'the giants of the past'). Tertullian, in several places, speaks of this book with esteem; and would persuade us, that it was preserved by Noah during the deluge. The Book of Enoch, however, was rejected by Origen, Jerome and Augustin as spurious.

    [newworldencyclopedia DOT ORG]

    Mishael comment: there is Much confusion as to the First Enoch, son of CAIN (who was cursed by God), in Genesis.
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hi Chris.

    Adam and Eve was the only two humans God directly created, What we see in Genesis 1:26-28. and Genesis 2:7. is a re-account focusing on the creation of Man.

    Here in Genesis 4:16-17. we have the account in question.

    "And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

    AND CAIN KNEW HIS WIFE; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch."

    In verse 17 it says " and Cain knew his wife " Notice what it doesn't say , Cain taken a wife out of the land of Nod. It doesn't say that.

    I believe Cain already had a wife when he slew Abel. The scripture doesn't tell us how old they were, We know they wasn't babies offering sacrifices to the Lord. Centuries could have passed by. Cain married one of his relatives.

    I hope this helps.

    God bless.
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Amen Mishael!

    I don't see why one would have a problem with the genetics about the matter, For one, nothing is an issue with God! after all Eve was taken right out of Adam, they were closer than brothers and sisters being as one. And God told them to be fruitful and multiply as well as Noah.

    Why don't anyone have a problem with the world as we know it today was populated by eight souls!

    Chapter in Proverbs each day, the Word will teach you "The Way". God provided, just for all who will read and obey His Word.

    Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you.

    Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:33-34. But look at verse 25-32 and you will see What God means, but if you do not read his Word, and fellowship with God, an accept his provision, and gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. John 3:16 He so loved the World He gave His only begotten Son, whomever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have

    "Everlasting Life". Thankful Servant of God the Father, and my Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ.

    It is your decision.

    When i think about Abraham Issac and Jacob....I cannot help but think about an ISRAEL Of God. And a Heavenly

    Kingdom....Imo thats y God told Moses that his name was Abraham Issac and Jacob....They were an exact profile

    of the heavenly trinity Father Son and Granson.....In that God Almighty offered up his only son Christ Jesus....God

    told Moses this is my name forever.....But this heavenly Trinity is Spirit as Jesus said that which is born of the spirit

    is Spirit Which is the H.G. that heavenly Jacob that is coming in the last day..An Israel of God ( spirits ) the H.G.

    Jacob was the 3 rd person and that Jacob from above is also the 3 rd person the Granson the Comforter.....One is

    earthly and 1 is heavenly.....But when God made that great Promise ( when he swore by his self ) that was under the

    heavenly Promise....All this points an Israel of God that has to come via the seed of Christ in the last days.....Thats y

    Jesus told the 12 disciples, whososever will ( The Israel of God ) that they wd sit on Thrones judging the 12 tribes

    of Israel .....One Israel is Earthly and 1 is Heavenly.....Them that have been born from above are the Heavenly Israel

    But the Israel of God are spirits they are gonna be given our bodies.....As our bodies are the temple of the H.G. Which

    is the Kingdom......Christ which is the Father of the H.G. IS OUR KING.....Unless ya receive the Kingdom as a lil Child

    you will in no wise enter in......The H.G. cd not be born in us without his good seed the WORD sown in our hearts......

    Being bornagain of an incorruptible seed even by the words of God thus an Israel of God is gonna be born in US

    Which is the H.G. That Child of PROMISE ,The seed of Christ.....That was the great Promise that Christ wd be

    multiplied as the stars of heaven thus an Israel of God that are gonna be born in us via the seed of Christ the

    Contents of that book the new covenant.....I will know them ALL from the lest to the greatest thus a pregnancy a birth

  • Fred - 4 years ago
    Some 30 years ago, as a student I.L.S.C.., many my professor were adamant concerning teaching of the holy scriptures. That these scriptures, given to man are the inerrant word of God. That the God of the universe is in the Holy Trinity found in the Father ,Son, and Holy Ghost.. That the love of God for mankind and the prophecy within these words would be His salvation . even unto all that would be drawn unto the Father through the Son. That those who receive Him would become the Sons of God , thus proving the birth of imputed righteousness , the comforter, known as the Holy Ghost. This then the only foundation that will stand . and hold what you are to become. no matter the storm. Hold fast to what you have been taught, In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. Repent and be baptized

    Your body is the "temple of the Holy Ghost" - treat it with respect

    1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

    also Matthew 15:11 "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."

  • Growing in God - In Reply on Leviticus 6 - 4 years ago
    The Word of God is the Bread of LIFE. You may freely eat of it. Too many of the Lords sheep are skinny (in their faith). They wait for someone to bottle feed them. Chew up the meat for you.

    How is your appetite?

    We are to get into the Bible and GORGE ourselves on the Word. John 1:1

    If you don't know a verse, Google it this way:

    Scripture, Bible Commentaries- or

    Scripture, Bible meaning

    Scripture, Bible History

    pick a website that is Christian (not Catholic, not other religions.) I like BIBLEHUB. See what the commentators wrote.

    I have yellow legal pads all over the house. I make lotsa notes. Sometimes I get one out and re-read old stuff I wrote. I can see how I've grown a bit, since then.

    JESUS does not limit us on how much we eat (consume) of His revelation. Who He is. Who He is to us personally. If something is vague, hit the Commentaries and see what others wrote.

    I was a dangerous baby Christian. I said God I want to understand all the mysteries. I didn't know what I was asking. But he will deliver the knowledge if you are ready to receive it. Keep journals. Hunger and thirst will be satisfied; as we are able to receive it.

    If the Holy Spirit tells me, or shows me something: I tear all through the Bible hunting down the revelation of what was said. You can go as far as you choose.

    One of the greatest lessons, is that the Lord is worthy to be praised and worshipped. You learn that from the Psalms. It is a decision you make to learn the value. King David worshipped God no matter what happened in his life. Psalm 51, he was hurting bad because he had betrayed God. Read of when he was hiding in the Cave of Abdullah.

    We can LIVE in Psalm 91, all the time. Faithful is He who Promised. We move from faithlessness into empowerment by the Holy Spirit.

    Learn how to sing as David did_no matter what was happening. On YouTube, listen to Psalm 23 conducted by CARL DAVIS. It will sooth your soul and you will sing.

    Hello Chris,

    Good question. Open your heart to GOD ALMIGHTY & allow Jesus CHRIST to be you're savior. The HOLY Spirit will guide you & teach you all truth. John 3:16-17,

    Genesis 1:26-28, GOD created, multiple men & women to fill the earth, subdue tak dominion over the fish of the sea, cattle, birds of the air .

    Then HE formed Man & breathed Life into him: Genesis 2:7, this is a special account because of the details Genesis 2:8,9,15, interesting that this man was alone, Gen 2:18-24 note: Genesis 4:16, they were already cast out of the garden, Cain left the 'Presence of the LORD'' it appears he left the Holy to dwell with the other men & women in a land called Nod. HOLY means set apart, Gen 4:17, then they built a city & named it. So Nod already existed. Then you have: Genesis 4:23-24 why isn't the killed man mentioned? If it was of the same parents? Therefore proving these are the other men & women Genesis 5:1-2, Genesis 4:26, Enoch the HOLY seed begins to call on GOD, "Son's of GOD" Gen 6:1-6, "Son of GOD" Jesus CHRIST Luke 3:23-38, Enos = Enoch, Romans 8:14.

    Please don't believe evil lies. GOD says & our spirit testifys sin & perversion bad: Leviticus 20:17, & GOD doesn't lead us to sin : James 1:12-27, note: James 1:13-14,

    Study for yourself & GOD will help you see truth.
  • OUR SCHOOLMASTER - In Reply on Leviticus 6 - 4 years ago
    Book of Galatians 3, teaches us that we are not under the Law. The law is a School master.

    We are however under "common sense".

    Galatians 4:6

    We need to be reading the Whole Bible; book after book. Slowly to grab up all the crumbs of Faith. Start in the Gospels and through to Revelation. Add in Proverbs for excellent teaching on WISDOM. Add Psalms for Emotional Healing and Strength.

    Get a 24 pack of highlighters and make that Bible look like Someone read it wall-to-wall; and dug up all the silver and gold nuggets of Wisdom.

    Get a Student Reference Bible and learn how to pull into your study, all the side scriptures and prophesies. Like in Psalms there is a prophesy about Judas. Jesus knew Judas would betray him.

    Learn how To use the search engine on this website to look up scriptures to search for scriptures you barely remember so you can study them again. There's so many tools you can use in your studies. Then come back in here and tell me: DID YOU KNOW THAT. and hit me with some revelation :D I love love love that!

    Always Ask the HOLY SPIRIT to teach you what you are reading. He is your #1 Teacher. He can open up scripture like you cannot imagine. He will peel back the veil and let you see wonders; reveal JESUS just to you. Then you get to teach that to someone else. That's how the whole thing is supposed to work!

    Google the Ministry of the Holy Spirit; what He does for believers. You are hunting without bullets if you don't know enough to get some.

    We're going to run into opposition eventually, Ephesians 6. You must know how to fight back the way God wants us to fight evil spirits.

    Read Romans 1. The GODHEAD. The Holy Spirit is the 3rd person of the Godhead. He co-created this earth. He is most beloved of Jesus. He is the spirit of Christ Jesus. The law of Christ makes us FREE.

    God keep you close and may the Lord bless and keep you.

    Rose,

    In Acts 16:16-18, we see a girl who had a spirit of divination being delivered by Paul.

    In Verse 16, it says, "And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination." And in the Greek text, it is called the spirit of python, a snake! It's the spirit of python.



    In Greek mythology, Apollos won a victory over his enemy and in his celebration he decided to embed himself into a body of a python.



    So they always felt that a demonic spirit, a pythonic spirit could indwell someone.



    Check this out. A spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by fortune telling: That's where it comes from.

    But please note that the spirits not going to stay there, especially with Paul there? Notice that once the demonic spirit's cast out, she can't tell fortunes anymore, which means with the demonic spirit, she can tell people's fortunes. She was good at it!



    Satan can give people the ability whether it is generalized or not to see in the future.

    This is a spirit of divination.
  • Trusting God - In Reply on Genesis 8:22 - 4 years ago
    Christians doing good things for God will be persecuted. Once I lived in Tulsa Oklahoma a few years. Every day ORU (Oral Roberts University) was heckled and ridiculed on the Radio. Without mercy; from the UNBELIEVERS.

    One night I was street preaching with 5 others. They started Gossiping about Oral Roberts. We don't get a pass on persecuting The Brethern__like the unbelievers. I was NOT joining in this character assassination. I'm hanging back of the pack.

    ANYONE doing great things for God, is going to become a Target for Satan. Look at Orals first days in ministry. People were being healed! The lame walked, the blind see, etc. He had a DREAM to build a great University to teach Christians faith and regular school curriculum. To meet and pray every morning; to teach evangelism. He built a replica of Noah's Ark, so people could see what it may have been like. It's beautiful. He raised money for the University. So people hated on him.

    To continue with the story The Holy Spirit fell on me like an asteroid. He said. "Will you Now persecute and Mock a brother in Christ?!! Bite and Devour one of our own?"

    I almost fell down in the street. They stared at me like deer. Then they repented, to God. It changed my life forever. If we suffer persecution (Oral Roberts) it means we are doing something right. It's not for me to say one word against what he spent the money on. That is Gods Territory.

    I know not all of the students were practicing Christians. Their parents just sent them there to hopefully find Jesus, at some point in their education. Dreams.

    Look what happened with Moses. He was gone 40 days, the people got bored, United in sinful desires and built a golden calf to be their God. The adults in on that revolt all died. Never saw the Promised Land. Those are good stories to chew on and get all the revelation out of them. All God truly asks of us is to be obedient and Trust Him.
