    1st thing that comes to my mind is what we call the atmosphere. How it's curved clear & rounded, like a magnifying lens. How amazing earth looks from outter space, Job 37:18 , seems to describe it beautifully. Thank you for sharing it.

    Glass is made through molten process.

    The 1st part of the verse it appears Elihu, is still talking with Job from Job 36:1-4 & he seems to be asking Job in reference to GOD ALMIGHTY "hast thou with him spread out the sky?'' 1611 KJV,

    Job 2:11-13, the conversations start after these verses.

    Hopefully this is helpful.
  • Dr. Lyle Lee on Ezekiel 31 - 4 years ago
    Satan and all fallen angels are described here as Pharaoh and his multitude, the other shadow and typology name ascribed unto Satan is the Assyrian, these are the two names ascribed unto Satan here in this chapter. His metaphorical name is, the cedar tree of Lebanon, the other fallen angels metaphorical names are cedar trees, fir trees and chestnut trees. Found then in versus 8-9 we have an understanding that goes back to Genesis 2:8-9, regarding when God created the trees from the garden of God, these were the angels. Now we know and are confident that Ezekiel is using metaphors to speak about Satan and the fallen angels, because he states the trees of the garden of God, envied Lucifer. We can affirm that no physical tree has the ability to envy, but angels had that ability when God created them, we can affirm therefore, man is older than the angels, as he was created before them, placed into the garden of God, and then God created all angels in front of Adam. Genesis 2:8-9 Let us also make note, that these fallen angels were cast into hell, or the pit, which is not a common grave, for a physical grave could never hold a spirit like Satan or any fallen angel.

    My Dear Sweet Friends, humility is excellent, to say the least. However, raising the dead is not a thing that deal in humility.

    I do not expect many, if any at all, to understand this. This is My work, and none other. Therefore, I listen ONLY to Him Who sent Me!

    Thanks for your concern, misplaced as it may be.

    And, absolutely, false teachers abound. Watch for them!

    If one does not possess the truth, and are herein trying to share knowledge and understanding, then that one is, indeed, a false teacher. I find, after careful observation many, many false teachings in this site. And, remember your statements are dealing in "what if".

    My dear Friends, I Am not one to guess or wonder whether or not My teachings are true, I KNOW THEY ARE. My words are power for any who chose to accept. I guess about NOTHING when teaching!
  • Dr. Lyle Lee on Genesis 2 - 4 years ago
    I would like to comment on versus 8-9; the garden of God was taken from the third heaven and brought down to the earth, where God planted it, as this was not created, it already existed. Adam was put into the garden of God, then the Lord created trees in front of Adam, I asked myself the question, why is God creating trees again after he rested, when he did this on the third day of creation? Then I discovered those trees on the third day of creation were taken from the earth, but these trees were taken from the ground of the garden of God, which came from the third heaven. Therefore, this was a metaphor, referring unto the trees as angels. Here we learn that the tree of life, was an angelic body created for the Holy Spirit, later in scripture known as the angel of the Lord, also known as God. The tree of knowledge of good and evil, was a metaphorical name for Lucifer, as he knew and understood both the world of light, and the world of darkness, until he became the god of that world. 11 Corinthians 4:4 The prophet Ezekiel gave us much insight on the trees in the garden of God being angels, as he spoke of it in Ezekiel 31:8-9 In summary, man is older than angels, as he was created before them, furthermore, he watched them being created in front of him, is it no wonder than why Satan tempted Eve and not Adam, as she was not created to see this event happening in the garden.

    My Dear Sweet Friends, that scripture does not conceal any deeper meaning.

    It is simply stating how we, as earthlings, view the sky above and all therein, which the Creator spread out. It is as a molten/liquid that we are looking through as the sky spreads out from/into all directions without end.
  • Dr. Lyle Lee on Genesis 3 - 4 years ago
    I would like to comment on Versus 14-19 God cursed Satan with all fallen angels, with seven curses, all of these are metaphorical. He is cursed below the cattle and beast of the field, meaning they will end up in a better state then he would end up in, because they had a body to fulfil their desires. In curse 3 he would go on his belly, the word belly means spirit, therefore God took away the angelic bodies of all fallen angels from that point until today, knowing that they seek embodiment from others. In curse four, the serpent is cursed to eat dust, this curse is about mankind who was created from the dust of the earth, Satan and all fallen angels feed off of our sins, as this becomes food for him. Curse five, there would be war between him and the woman, meaning the church of Jesus Christ, curse six war would be between her seed, meaning the Lord Jesus Christ and the children of the devil. In curse seven, Satan would destroy the body of Christ on Calvary, but in doing this, the Lord Jesus would destroy his head.

    The five curses of Eve were then given, all of these are literal, the woman's sorrow and conception would be multiplied in sorrow, The third curse is about woman bearing children in pain, the fourth curse is about woman's desire to her husband, meaning she will fight him to rule over him, the fifth curse is that the man will rule over the woman.

    In the seven curses of Adam, six of them are metaphorical and the last one is literal, in curse one, God cursed his ground, meaning his spirit, soul and body became mortal. In curse two, mankind would eat from the cursed ground, meaning his meditation would be carnal and he would do the evil from his own thoughts, as eating means obedience. In curse three, Adam's ground would produce thorns, the Lord Jesus in Matthew 13 interprets this as the cares and riches of the world. In curse four, Adam's ground would produce thistles, the Apostle Paul interprets this in Hebrews 6 as religion. Please write me for more

    Yes.

    That's why I try to answer questions with mostly scripture, I pray the HOLY Spirit will guide each of us through HIS truth & WORD. Please pray for me as I try to obey GOD in this, that HE will guide me & not let me step out of HIS will, HIS WORDs even 1 word.

    I pray we'll all be faithful here @ this site & reverence HIS WORD. Thanks for the reminder, I thought about that the other day, or The HOLY Spirit reminded me after answering questions. I felt heaviness knowing scriptures out of context are not good, sometimes someone wants 1 scripture & there is so much more around & about that scripture usually.
  • Ben on Luke 22:18 - 4 years ago
    Verse 35 Jesus was saying how things were when he had been with them. Jesus in Verse 36 tells them he is giving them a change of orders.. (but now let him.. take his money back pack of gear, (i.e. script, where the word conscript comes from for a soldier, con meaning with and script a soliders backpack.) And their sword. Verse 37. He says this because it must be that the profesies about the crusifiction (numbers among the transgressors.. i.e. the thieves on either side of him on the cross) must be fufilled and this is his marching orders of how he wants us to be as we fulfill the great commission that he gave before he left. Sadly many Christian no longer follow Jesus Christ commandments to carry cash, backpack first aid and survival gear, and a sword (pistol or personal defences weapon/rifle etc) when every they go anywhere. I wonder how many people needlessly died because of disobeance of Christians unable to help those in need or heathen where provoked and encouraged to sin by attacking Christian's because following this command isn't common place. When old testament saints did this in Nehemiahs day agression and attacks were averted.

    Jesus said to watch out for false teachers. Matthew 7:15

    The Bible also talks about the importance of humility: 1 Peter 5:5

    Teachers will be judged more strictly: James 3:1

    Dr. Lee, first I would like to thank you for your explanation of what you mean by Old Testament, your vision of Old testament which is also called the Mosaic law, (this is something I just learnt) is what I called the handwriting of the ordinances as it is worded in Colossians 2:14-15 and the book of Exodus and Leviticus, we differ in verbiage but same belief.

    When I see the words the Old Testament I think of the Old Testament as in the books from Genesis to Malachi and all they contain, If I may finish with one more verse from, 1 Corinthians 14:9 "So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air."

    once again thank you GB

    Colossians 2:14-15Colossians 2:14-15 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

    Hi GiGi,

    Thanks, I did not mean that they or we do not have free will, like sometimes we should have picked door A instead of door B and then say why did I do that. But there is more than the Sunday school lessons about Adam and Eve, a lot more.

    God bless,

    Hi , I certainly never said that !!! I said , we all were alive an well in spiritual body's ,. An after Lucifer's pride , then we were all made to go through this flesh life ,.. to decide weather we love god or satin ( Lucifer) he has many names ,.. of course, We know some chose to not do as God asked ,.. as we read in Jude ,.. Adam an eve , were the farmers God needed ,. Blood line for god himself to come threw , he would never ask us to do anything he would not do himself,..

    Understanding the Gospel of Jesus Christ from the mormon perspective. How does it differ (if at all) from the Christian (baptist) teachings?
  • Charles on Acts 19:2 - 4 years ago
    Listen the bible says is to tests the spirits whether they are from god because many

    false prophets have gone out into the world. 1st john4-1

    many are looking for an emotional high with no evidence of salvation

    nor repentance.

    My Dear Sweet Friends, I have not come to be taught, but to teach!
  • Donkor Makini - In Reply - 4 years ago
    My Dear Sweet Friends, well, please allow Me to thank you for your observations.

    Adam, I have a work in the world to do. I won't pretend to believe everyone will understand this. I Am not shy nor pretentious in this, and I do My work boldly under the watchful eye of the Creator. I have come boldly to the Throne of the Living God, and, Am not called to tiptoe.

    Again, thank you.

    John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

    Amen Manuel Teixeira. Jesus is the only begotten Son of the eternal Father. The lamb without blemish. He is our propitiation for our sins that are passed through the forbearance. We should direct all our glory unto him.
  • Adam - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hi Donkor, I noticed you posted a question, but after people took time to help you with Bible-based answers, it seems you aren't very appreciative. Instead it appears you are now accusing them of false teachings. How do you know you aren't the one spreading false teachings? Have carefully studied God's Word and prayed to God to ask Him if what you just said is true? If what you said isn't true do you think God would want you posting falsehoods publicly while criticizing others? God bless.

    Link - look how many times devil and satan appears in the Bible
  • Glenn - In Reply - 4 years ago
    It's not a tree at all !!!! It's a man , Lucifer himself,.. it is always his wanting to confuse, and deceive, any an all who'll give him chances. We are taught, to not even engage, for even the arch angle Michael, says " the lord rebuke the" most people don't even know that satin knows more scripture than anyone,.. but upon speaking it , he always has a little twist,.. so please remember, do not engage,.. "Rebuke " !!!!!
  • Sincerely on Psalms 13 - 4 years ago
    Verse 5 says I have trusted in your Mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy Salvation. It is because I know a Man who has enough Grace and Mercy to save an entire World. God loves us with such passion we can only imagine His thoughts of Grandeur. He is ever present, and no matter what we may have to face. Put God first and He will make a way out. My life was a total disaster. I looked as if I could use a helping hand without anyone asking me. There is truly a look in a desperate situation. Your circumstances can take you down. God is waiting with open arms. If you ask him to help you; He will. (Matthew chapter 7, verse 7)

    Ask and it shall be given you; Seek and you shall find; Knock and it shall be opened unto you.

    The way to Jesus Christ is believing He walked the Earth as a Man; died on the Cross for our sins; and rose again on the third day. He is in Heaven with His Father sitting on the right side of the throne. He will come again for the final Judgement. We all need to be ready at any moment. Death comes quick. There is no second time around; no, wait a minute I'm still trying to choose; no more chances; no more wait until I am ready. It's self that can sometimes get in the way and it's not worth losing your eternal life with Jesus Christ. Remember Death can come in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. Be ready to meet the Lord; pray that you do.

    My Dear Sweet Friends, OOPS! I mistakenly replied to Gigi's reply to Ronald.
  • Donkor Makini - In Reply - 4 years ago
    My Dear Sweet Friends, Ronald there are so many false teachings in your statement that it may well be discouraging.

    John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

    Here are some of what I find that deal with falsehood in your statement. It is no condemnation of you, but yours is an example of the need for the Spirit of Truth to work in the world now.

    1. Lucifer NEVER EVER EXISTED. This is a created god created by Nimrod as the replacement for the Living God. Totally made up!

    2. So-called "evil" does not exist at all. Your belief thereof is the eating fron that tree, and now you give it to Me and others to eat of. You are dead.

    3. Devil??? Devil-Satan-AntiChrist. Each these are separate entities. A devil can be ANYBODY. There is no such thing as "the Devil".

    My dear Friend, it only takes one simple falsehood to throw all understanding into confusion. You have so many that it can be discouraging when trying to clear them.

    The very first step is to stop eating of that tree.
