Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 914

Paul talked about being taken to the 3rd heaven in his vision or actually being taken he said he did not know but he saw heaven and describes as the 3rd heaven. Jesus told the thief today you shall be with me in paradise. Some say the air from the earth to the atmosphere is the 1st heaven from the atmosphere to heaven is the 2nd and beyond that is the 3rd heaven. The Catholic's believe in purgatory, and some equate paradise with that as being the same. We know upon Christ return the dead in Christ will be raised from the dead but so will the lost souls as well. Do we go to heaven when we die we know our bodies don't but what about our sours and our spirit? The belief is our spirit that God breathed into Adam that we all have that gives us life returns to God, but our soul which is us sleeps and the Bible often refers to death as sleep in both the old and new testaments. Genesis 1:8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. look at verses 6&7 6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. the firmament he called heaven? So if you go beyond Heaven you'll find water? notice Heaven is capitalized a place.

Psalms 49:15

"But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah." implies our soul is in the grave. Ecclesiastes 9:10

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."

Psalms 30:3

"O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit."

Ecclesiastes 3:21

"Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?"

That's all I got,

King James Version (KJV)

Jesus was the word of God are you trying to imply Lord God is Jesus, everything was created by him, how was everything created. God spoke, John wrote, and the word became flesh, God created everything with His word when he spoke, 1 John 5:7

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Maybe once God created the heavens and Erath he also became the Lord over all he created that is what it appears to be, before he created anything there was nothing to be Lord over, some believe that when he created man male and female in ch 1 he created the human race and ch 1 he created Adam because Adams children took wives after leaving the garden, where did those wives come from unless there were others on the earth. We also see further in Genesis that the sons of God told wives of the children of men. So was there a human race out side of the Garden we know there was the rest of the world outside of it did that include beast and men we see pretty quickly after Adam came out other nations and peoples.. I always quote this verse, now we see thru a glass darkly and in part.............so we know we aren't given the full accounts in God's word Jesus told Paul in the vision some words are unlawful to speak, and John in the Revelation could not open the book but ate it and it was sweet to the tongue but bitter to the stomach.

King James Version (KJV) and when that which will comes appears i will know even as I am known so I guess after Jesus comes, we'll find everything out

So does this mean today as believers we can eat the unleavened bread and frankensense and meat offerings?

What is the rvlation behind this chapter

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord as when the silver cord is broken. You do have a soul and spirit, but you will also be given a new body which is changed which originated from the flesh. But, now will be changed and raised up immortal as written in 1 Corinthians 15:49-53

Your soul & spirit are with Christ who is raised up already. Why do the ones martyred ask the Lord how much longer if the dead cannot speak (speaking of course their dead old flesh bodies). The old flesh body is asleep - but the soul & spirit are awake and praise God alive.

God is not the God of the dead but Is the God of the living! Paradise is not where we are not conscious or asleep.

Where is Christ now? We'll He died and took our death! Praise God we will be with Him in our last second when our flesh body passes away as our soul & spirit ascends to be with Him and forevermore. Plus we get to be with Him now because He will never leave us or forsake us and is with us!

We are "NEW" creatures.

Also, it says as He is "NOW" so are we in this world. Also, says that we are seated already with Him in heavenly places. Our flesh body is the only thing down here that needs to be raised or change similar to this age as it will also wear out like an old garment. The flesh body is the only thing left down here that needs to be translated.

He is coming soon so Praise God the dead in Christ will rise first like it was before so shall it be again similar to Matthew 27:52 except those then were not yet with Christ till after His death when He set the captives free!

May God bless and May we all look to Jesus and praise Him!

Jesus knows how to move and when to move. He knows the adversary the lion and how he works!

In John ch. 7. we see Him confront the enemy in His own house. A house filled with deceit, hate, and division.

Jesus knows the hearts, of these leaders who wish only to silence Him permanently. Yet He proclaims who He is, in the light of Satan working in the hearts of man!

Jesus does not run from the truth, He convicts them of their hypocrisy , in their own temple.

The point being, we cannot satisfy righteousness through the works of man. The righteousness the world needs must come through faith in the savior! A humble and contrite heart that will lead into a grace led life in peace , mercy and truth!

If you see it someplace else, remember, Satan and how He makes himself into an angel of light! Christ first, all the time! Repent and be Baptized

I like Bible Hub because it shows numerous commentaries.

This also has come to my thoughts. Proverbs 24:24-25,

However

Ezekiel 33:8, Ezekiel 3:18,19,

Perhaps vast amounts of time passed between the two events.

How long did Adam and Eve dwell in the garden?

It could have been ages before the "fall"

2Corinthians 2:4, Luke 23:43, Revelation 2:7, Luke 16:19-31,

It's interesting that you're noticing the differences, I'm guessing you've read Genesis before & studying or reading again or just very observant.

John 1:1-5, Revelation 4:10-11, Colossians 1:12-23, Ephesians 3:9, Revelation 10:1-7,

Note: Isaiah 42:1-12, Isaiah 42:23, compare: the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke & John,

There is a difference I believe because it seems to point out that man Adam being put into the Garden, symbolic of the Church. To tend it, where GOD seems to already have given the Genesis 1:27-28 'created female & males, direction to multiply & subdue take dominion over the earth & creatures land & sea. Genesis 2:7-8, Genesis 5:1-3, interestingly it is the lineage of Seth the Jesus comes through : Luke 3:23-38

1Corinthians 15:45, 1Corinthians 15:42-47, Genesis 2:15, Genesis 2:18-24,

Revelation 22 :17

And the Spirit and the bride say ,Come. And let him that heareth say , Come . And let him that is athirst Come . And whosoever will let him take the water of life freely .

When I first read that verse I said YES I'm Coming .

Jesus said

Matthew 5.8

Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see God .

It thrills my heart when I read that , give me a pure heart oh God so I can see you .

I know that day will happen , and already I have seen him by faith , but not face to face .

I hope you and many others will meet me there some glorious day :)

Numbers 16

Korah was a Levite, a cousin of Moses, and a man of ability and influence. Though appointed to the service of the tabernacle, he had become dissatisfied with his position and aspired to the dignity of the priesthood.

Korah led a revolt against Moses; he died, along with all his co-conspirators, when God caused "the earth to open her mouth and swallow him and all that appertained to them" ( Numbers 16:31-33).

Korah is the central figure in the story of the revolt against the authority and status of Moses at the time of the wanderings in the wilderness ( Num. 16). According to the story in its present form, Dathan and Abiram of the tribe of Reuben, together with 250 chieftains of the community, also took part in this revolt.

It was significant this accusation was made publicly, in front of 250 leaders of the congregation; men of renown.

Men like Korah are always playing to an audience, always trying to draw a following after themselves - after Moses has already gathered the nation and led them this far, of course.

I laughed out loud "dare say competitive banter " yes, yes

Ultimately Romans 14:4,

Pray please that our answers be truthful & biblical.

Thanks Brother Glenn

That didn't answer my question

In Chapter 1 God says for them to replenish the earth. In the dictionary "replenish" is in the bible as to be fruitful to multiply. Then after the flood the LORD God says again to "replenish". This time it makes sense. Were there already men on the earth? Bcuz they took wives that were from men. Were they Gods, and did they contribute to the Giants?

Ezekiel 8:17-18,

Who is God in Chapter 1? Because in Chapter 2 the LORD God, replicates chapter 1, but does it different. By using the dust of the ground, he created man and beast. While in Chapter 1, God created man in their likeness. So... What is the difference between God and the LORD God??

A person put over someone elses property, affairs, upkeep etc. Trusted with but belonging to another. Here are biblical examples. Genesis 1:26-30, Romans 14:12, In the Church: Hebrews 13:17, Titus 1:7,

Genesis 15:2, Gen 43:19,

Luke 16:1-15, Matthew 20:1-16, Luke 12:36-48,

Prophetic parable about Jesus & the religious Rulers of the time: Matthew 21:28-46, Luke 20:9-20, 'husbandman being "stewad" of the vineyard'

Hopefully these are helpful.

Hello Sean. Stewardship can be defined as special position assigned to a person, to act on behalf of another in managing various matters pertaining to a Business, Church, in the Home, etc. The person so appointed could be given responsibility over the financial, property, or workers of that institution, or responsibility in the Church or the home.

In Luke chapter 16 which you cited, the "rich man", probably a business owner, in the parable, had a steward to oversee his financial & material interests. When re-payment time came, the owner's debtors were not able to pay & the debt continued to stand probably for a long while. So when questioned by the owner, the steward took it upon himself to reduce the payment so that the debtors could pay, be free of debt & the owner satisfied. So as to not lose his position with his boss, he did what he did & fortunately his boss accepted the steward's ingenuity (though I'm not sure that would work today). But the point was that even if his boss sacked him, the wisdom of the steward is seen in the event that those debtors he helped might then give him a job, seeing that he was merciful to them. For this he was commended, even though the owner still had a shortfall.

And when we think of being 'a good steward' in terms of our faith, we would demonstrate wise use of all that the Lord gives to us, whether in finance, goods, even His enabling us to serve Him in the Church & community. Everything we have in our possession or own comes from the Lord, and He expects us to be wise stewards & if we are trustworthy, He will entrust even more to us.

In the Bible is there a verse that talks pacifically about the (Paradise) intermediate Heaven, the place that we go to when our spirit leaves the body today?

Not the New Heaven that is very clear, and I get chills every time I read about it, it's so exciting and I look forward to it.

But the intermediate I'm not able to find much about it even though there are a few things.

Thanks!

1st Corinthians chapter 12 versus 27and 28 say anything about modern day prophets

By living the life so they can see God in you.

Yes the Bible says you will no and be known.

Hi Joe.

The first 12 verses is rectrospect 13 through 28 is judgement, redemption and restoration.

Here we see where God says he created Israel, he also redeemed Israel and he will restore them! This section of scripture proves God is not done with Israel as some the Church has replaced Israel in receiving the promises given in the Old Testament or the promises given to Israel is actually to the church and not Israel.

Look at these verses! Isaiah 43:24-25.

24) "Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities."

25) I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." )

Verse 25 says a lot! God stake his Great name on the restoration of Israel!

See Jeremiah 31:34-37.

That restoration and redemption doesn't depend on Israels faithfulness

See Jeremiah 23:5-8.

Parallel these verses with Isaiah 43 and you will also discover the father and the son in the God head.

God bless

Chapter 43 vs 19-20-21. Kjv This is a vision. The owls are birds , the dragons r herds of animals. This is a similar vision in Zechariah we're he talks about what Jerusalem will look like after the 7 th trump is blown. In 43 that is almost the same vision. In the vision u will be standing on Gods Holy mountain. In the East looking down off his mountain u will see a River of fast moving stream. And the other side will be animals in herds. The ground around u will be nothing but sand and pebbles. The birds will come over u in flocks as far as u can see. Everything and ur self will feel Gods presence. To the East and a little north will be 2 hills with a beam of sun light through clouds shining down on them. That will be the mount of olives split into. As u turn and walk west u will start to walk then realize u can move without effort. Once u make it to the west of that holy mountain u will be able to see down below and it's like large blocks that fell out of the mountain. There will be a stream of water that comes from the south and comes close to bottom of that mountain. U will be given a desire to get down to it. There are trees growing next to the course of water. Willows. As u walk into this stream of water it never comes much higher than ur knees. Then the desire to drink the water overwhelms you. Then u drink. This is the vision all of Gods chosen r given. Who shall stand on Gods Holy mount. He who has a pure heart. This vision is not written other than in pieces. Only if u see this in vision will u know about what I left out. I'm looking for someone that has also seen this. Only he can fill in the blanks.

I was once a King but now just a Peasant King. A King from the beginning but now that Evil has corrupted our Great Nation everything once great is being washed away like it's never was here in the first place. For I seek truth, for sake my soul into the Heavens.

Son of the Gods from the beginning of time.

King James Woodrow Fraley

Thanks Adam.

Simple me!

Thank you Good guys in white,

Agree, we must pray constantly to be accounted worthy, to have the strength to escape every sin, not caught up in the worldly cares, drunkenness, and temptations especially the big one, the hour of temptation that's coming.

Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

God bless,

RLW
