I believe all through the scripture it supports the view the Holyspirit empowers the believer and as the scriptures you pointed out it took the dwelling of the Holyspirit to perform in them to minister under this new covenant. You see it in the life of Peter here in Luke 22:32. When was Peter strengthened and start to perform? It's obvious in scripture after he was empowered. Christ was preaching his death and resurrection, but they couldn't receive it. In Luke 18:31-34. he declared to them what the Prophets has written, and they still couldn't grasp it because it hidden from them.
Also, in John 16:12-14. seems to suggest the same thing. The preaching of the Cross was hidden from their eyes, and it seems Paul is mentioning the same thing throughout his epistles speaking of the natural man. 1 Corinthians 2:7-14.
The Holyspirirt is essential for understand and walk. Once he reveals his truth to us they're written on our hearts it takes him to exercise those truths in us and perfect our walk. we respond to the truth by the power of the Holyspirit, likewise the Apostles.
For it is God which worketh in you both to "will" and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13.
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63.
The bible is not like our textbooks in school, what we have here has to be revealed to you, 1 Corinthians 1:18-21.
Also: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31.
You see the Holyspirits power over the flesh in Romans 8:1-14.
You see the Holyspirirt working in us through baptism given us power to cease from sin in Romans 6:1-18.
You see the contrast of the two natures in Romans 7:1-6. and so on. Here we see the contrast of what we had when we were under the law compared to what we have in Christ.
God bless.
Hebrews 3:1-6, Hebrews 4:14-16, Hebrews 5, Hebrews 6, Hebrews 7, Hebrews 8:1-13, Hebrews 9, Hebrews 10,
Romans 12:4-6, Hopefully these are helpful in your study
Matthew 18:21-35, Matthew 6:12,14, Mark 11:26, Luke 11:4, Leviticus 23, Leviticus 25, Numbers 30, Ecclesiastes 5:4,5, Ezekiel 18:7-32,
Deuteronomy 23, Proverbs 28:8, Psalms 15:5, Ezekiel 22:12,
Excuse my corny humor! No we don't go looking for Cherubim to locate the Garden of Eve.
I agree, we just don't know.
However I don't believe where the scripture says he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, TO KEEP THE "WAY" OF THE TREE OF LIFE. Means God set up a road block of some sort.
It means he set gaurd to keep the way open. My sarcasm was it don't take 2 Cherubim to keep little old me out. Angels are known to be mighty.
And as for Adam and Eve and the garden being here on earth, I've never heard it any other way, I believe the scripture plainly states that.
We also have no scripture on what the earth was like before Adam and Eve sinned.
We do know Adam was "placed" in the garden to dress it. Genesis 2:15. "And the LORD God TOOK THE MAN, AND "PUT" HIM INTO THE GARDEN of Eden to dress it and to keep it". Genesis 2:15
And we do know he drove him out to go back to where he was created to till the ground. Genesis 3:23.
And there they populated the Earth.
Here's another provocative view I have heard.
Here in Ezekiel 28:13-14. If the Garden of God and the Garden of Eve is one of the same this is not the view of Satan we have in Genesis!
In Ezekiel he haven't fallen yet, "If" the Garden of Eve and the Garden of God is one of the same when did Satan have his career in it?
Also see Isaiah 14:12-14.
Would this fit into the Gap theory?
This is not a rhetorical question.
You and I admit we don't know, We only have "our" Perspective. Perhaps someone can help us.
God bless.
To those who love the appearing of Christ, who anxiously wait and look forward to the day when He will return for His saints. This crown is given to those who have lived a good and righteous life for God while living down here on earth. If you are a believer you have been made righteous before God the Father as a result of Jesus dying on the cross for all of our sins. This means that the righteousness of Jesus has now been imputed to you. It also refers to us living a goodand righteous life for God the Father with what time we have left down here. There are Christians who are righteous before God the Father as a result of being saved, called Justification, through the blood of Jesus Christ; but they are not living righteous lives in their actions, words and behaviours, called Sanctification. There are some people that may be saved in God's eyes, but still continue to do evil works that the unsaved would do. We all have our flaws, weaknesses, and certain temptations that we may struggle with. It is not perfection but DIRECTION that God is looking for.God just wants each one of us to choose to do the right thing when faced with certain temptations or choices to do something bad. When it is all said and done, these Christians will probably be receiving some of the greatest rewards that God can hand out once they enter into heaven. It says in the Bible,"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:8 To live a righteous life for God will really be worth your while as you will definitely be given this crown by God Himself once you enter into heaven.
This event was a prophesy fulfilled. Jesus fulfilled over 100 prophesies just on the day He was crucified; and when he was entombed.
A good Reference Bible lists them as you read along. It enriches your whole study experience.
What's amazing is that the Rabbi's knew of those Old Testament prophesies, but few put it together then.
Lists of the Old Testament and New Testament prophesies can be viewed on Google. Also with the scriptures that show Jesus's life fulfilled all of them. Thinking of the odds of that happening will make you say WOW!!
Jesus knew that Judas was the betrayer.
I think that doubt is just part of the fallen human condition.
Jesus did not reject Thomas for doubting the report of His resurrection from his fellow disciples. Jesus showed up at a time He knew Thomas was present. Jesus will "show up" for us. Too. When we doubt.
I had a time if tom 2002-2005 where I was discouraged, wounded, and questioned my faith and doubted big time. But what brought me out of it was this word from the Spirit to me when I was at my lowest: Lord. To whom else shall we go? For You have the words of eternal life.
John 6:6
Just know that I have been a believer all my life and even after following Jesus for 40+ years, I went through this valley, and Jesus showed up in through these words the Spirit brought to my mind. This experience made me stronger and even more determned to follow Jesus because I realized. Really, there is no other option but Jesus for the life that is really worth living as we live it in the Resurrection power of Jesus
So be encourage in doubts, cry out to Gid and He will "show up" so You might believe amidst the doubts, tears, and, discouragement.
I do believe that Adam and Eve was made and lived on the earth and therefore, that the Garden of Eden was also earthly.
Hello,
Since God is a Troune Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
God will judge mankind through Jesus, who is God, the Son and perfect man on one person. Since Jesus is God, He has the authority and power to execute judgement and as perfect Man, He is also apppinted to judge sinful mankind. But since Jesus is God and man unified in One person, two people are not judging, only One.
So, in Jesus, Mankind is being judged by God who is perfect and perfect man.
Thanks
Jesus never said leaven was bad, but identified whos leaven we are to beware of.
The Pharisees, Sadduces, Scribes, and Rabbi's arose from the Babylonian captivity
Where the Talmud and Mishnah were created and formalized. They gained immense power among the Jews since they had the "copies" of the Torah and so were the official interpreters of it using the Talmud and Mishnah as their guide.
I read that somewhere in these writings is said that the Rabbis are qualified to teach God on the Torah! How awful is that! Thinking that God is not all-knowing and does inderstand His own Word!
But we who are in Christ are to be the leaven in the church, increasing its members by sharing our faith and leading unbelievers to Jesus and His Word. We also are used as leaven when we discipline believers by growing and expanding their knowledge and understanding of the Word, thus the need for pastors and teachers in the church as well as
Mature believers mentoring younger believers.
Thus the book of Galations refers to Paul's teaching that his converts, by way of them having not to be circumcised, were to be followed, and no other gospel/teachings of others, was to be followed.
In no way does Galations mention God's Ten Commandments, which were written in stone, signifying that they were never be changed. Have you read Daniel 7:25 "He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law."
God, the Most High, is never caught "flat-footed" so to speak. Back in the time of Daniel, He knew that there would be a power that would in the future "think" to change God's Law,l that dealt with time". God's laws can never be changed, only man can think to change His holy Law.
Of God's Ten Commandments what is the only Law that deals with time? It is the Fourth Commandment. In it noting that God states that it Sabbath is His Holy Day! And is the only one that starts with the word "Remember" which Satan has prompted man to try to forget! See Exodus 20:8-11. (And Ex. 16:14-35).
Please see, 2 Timothy 3:16, 17... Thanks, Robert
Heart Broken
Our Lord Jesus Christ.The hearts of the people have turned to ice.
They have slowly turned away.
Don't all of them know what your book has to say?
Hearts are broken in this land.
They have turned away from your loving hand.

Only to you,our knee's will bow.o o
Please Lord Jesus heal our hearts! o o
Our prayer's to you is where it starts! o o
o oo ooo oo o o o o oo oo o o o o ooooo o oo oo o oo o o o o o
Your blessed with spiritual leaven! God rains it down from heaven!
They never made a choice for Jesus as Savior. Their names are NOT in the Book of Life.
Jesus will oversee the Bema Seat Judgement over His Believers; and Crowns will be given.

Then the book of Luke, begins when Jesus was born. Matthew=teaching on Joseph's contact by an Angel; and Jesus's Geneology.
A special blessing for you: Malachi 3:16-18
All of the gospels to learn what Jesus is like because we are his followers.
Some of the greatest lessons are on how to spend time in prayer away from distractions. How to praise in song (psalms) like King David did; and to worship our Father.
Ask the Holy Spirit to be your Teacher; to anoint you for reading of the Word.
Nelson Walters on YouTube has some new teachings on this month. Might check that. Me personally I don't study those books.
Too much about Chaldeans for me.
I was not speaking about the yeast of these folks, which is figurative language. I was speaking about yeast in the literal sense.
There is no prohibition of not using yeast in bread other than at Passover, as it reminds the Istaelites of the haste with which they consumed this last meal in Egypt and their fleeing quickly from the land after God spared them from the Angel of death. Yeast has its place in our diet, Burlington
Irony sugar helps to keep it in check,as does probiotics. People can make non-yeast breads easily with various leavening my agents.
But Jesus said to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. So, we should wish to know what He meant by that. I think it refers to their insistence on following the Laws of the Talmud and Mishnah that were added on top of the law of Moses. And He was probably speaking of the sels-righteousness of these leaders and their avoidance of touching anything "unclean" or common. So they did not mingle with common folks. They had their own "class"" system.
Perhaps in the pre- flood era, the Garden of Eden was actually on earth and all who lived in that time knew where it was and saw that it was Inaccessible to them. And then, perhaps, the flood destroyed the Garden and afterwards it was not to eat found. The tree of life in Revelations may be the one originally in the Garden or Godcreated it again audit was a created physical tree in the Garden.
God is able to both. Transplant it from the Garden or re-create it.
We just do not really know. We have so little archeological evidence of the pre-flood era. But I do think thatGod does not want us to know a lot about it. And perhaps, as I have read, the tectonics plates may have moved, heaved so violently with the flood that the earths crust was broken up and much of the artifacts were buried beneath these plates as they subducted under and over each other.
ANSWER
A man with leprosy came to Jesus and begged Him, If you are willing, you can make me clean. Jesus was filled with compassion. He reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing, he said. "Be clean!" ( Mark 1:40-41).
He knew that Jesus could heal him, but he asked the same question that most of us ask today, "Will He heal me?"
The greatest hindrance for many seeking healing is the uncertainty, in their mind, if it is God's will for them to be healed. While most know that God heals a few, they dont have a clear understanding of what the Word says, so they doubt, and doubt Destroys their faith. It is very difficult to have faith when the will of God is unknown. The Bible clearly teaches that healing is provided for all, but it also teaches that faith is required. Not faith that God can, but faith that God WILL heal.
PSALM 103:3, Psalm 86:5
Did it say to a few? No, it says to ALL. That he by the grace of God should taste death for every man ( Heb 2:9). Jesus tasted death not just for some, but for everyone who is willing to receive both salvation and healing.
God has planned good for us and He does not change His mind. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Heb13:8). We can pray for ANYONES healing because we know healing is God's will. His Word clearly defined His will for our healing & what we need to do to receive.
Psalm 107:20
On earth, Jesus was God in a body but without His Godly power. He operated just as man (us) should operate, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Unbelief is so strong that even Jesus was limited by the great unbelief He encountered in His hometown. Mark 6:5
It doesn't say that He would not, it says He could not, because their great unbelief, limited Him.

I understand your point of view.
I just think we are to speak truthfully and lovingly about brethren, alive today or who lived long ago. I just think that it is wrong to disparage the apostles when we do not know the content of their minds, hearts,or faith.
