Wormwood is an odorous, perennial shrub native to Europe and naturalized in the northeastern, central, and northwestern United States. Its aromatic leaves have a strong sage odor and bitter taste, and its multibranched stems are covered with fine, silky hairs. The plant has a fibrous root system and grows to about 1.2 m tall.

the bible talks about but the water being turned into wormwood in revolution. a punishment God sends to people on the earth in the last days. not that it is actually wormwood implying that its going to be bad to drink

[ Rev 8:11 KJV] 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

the star named wormwood is some angel

well, the bible talks a lot about The New Jerlusomen and the kingdom of God being a mount called mount zion.

[ Psa 48:2 KJV] 2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is] mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

from what I understand that is picturing that no one is going to heaven unless they have been cleansed and are holly.

[ Rev 21:27 KJV] 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Hi Rick

You mentioned an apple and I would agree it just says the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The lamb I believe is different. Adam and Eve needed proper covering. They covered themselves with fig leaves. Fig leaves will not cover our sins. The lamb of God will. Jesus in John 1:29,36 is called the lamb of God. When the eunuch was preach to by Philip ( Act 8:32-35) the eunuch was reading from the passage in Isaiah 53:7. Philip preached unto his Jesus. Described as a lamb. When the children of Israel in Egypt were preparing for the passover so that the angel of death didn't kill their first born. A lamb was used. Exodus 12:1-14

When Abraham was taking Isaac to be sacrificed Isaac asked him where the lamb was. It must have been a animal used for burnt offerings.

Gen 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.Abraham also believed in the resurrection. Consider Hebrews 11

Heb 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

Heb 11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

Heb 11:19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.Notice how important the promises are. What promises is he talking about? The whole chapter is about the promise.

Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Abraham as of today has not yet recieved the promise.

I'm running out of space. I'II have to start another dialog box to finish this.

yes he does. here the parable of the wicked and slothful servent.

Luke 19:11-27 KJV - And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. But those mine enemies,

Someone who is afflicted we say today if someone is really happy that that are good spirt well think the opposite.

here is a example in the bible of someone talking about having a poor spirt

[ Psa 6:2-3 KJV] 2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

Dr. Lyle Lee Indeed Christ came to fulfill the law which made available the grace we now have the privilege

to walk by daily in Christ!.

Spencer Shaw With all due respect it doesn't say what and I'm not speculating.

[ Heb 7:26 KJV] 26 For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

[1Jo 3:3 KJV] 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

[ 2Co 5:21 KJV] 21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

[ 1Pe 2:22 KJV] 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

Spencer Shaw I believe sh'e saying the exact opposite but i could be wrong.

Rita Endeavoring to keep this simple, all of Gods creation has a purpose including stars planets and

the study of the stars or the heavens. Pleiades and Orion and are star constellations and Mazzaroth concerns

all the signs of the heavens. The problem is that over imes the truth of what God has created gets worshipped

then corrupted then changed to mean something it didn't mean originally Romans 1:21-23. The original

intent Genesis 1:14, Psalm 147:4, Psalm 8:3, then Psalm 19:1-6 nothing done by our Father is not perfect!

the population of the earth started with two single people Adam and Eve and the bible talks about their three sons Cain and Able and seth . then it goes on to imply that they had many more sons and daughters from this verses. The guy lived to be over 900 years old so he most likely had a crap load of kids.

[ Gen 5:4 KJV] 4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

BUT

unfortenly all these people were wiped out by the judgement of God. God sent a global flood killing everyone expect one family a man called noah and his wife and his three sons which were married Shem, Ham, and Japheth

there is no more sabbath that was an old testament ordnance to an observer we are not under any obligation for such a rule.

[ Col 2:16 KJV] 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:

no work was to be done on that sabbath to picture Christ, no work is to be done to get into heaven we just rest and trust in Christ Jesus

Psa 7:11 KJV 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

Jesus is the son of God

Rom 1:3-4 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Jesus I savior of the world

Luke 2:11

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

the bible is about Jesus what he has done, the world he created and what will he be doing in the future.

Jesus is the judge of the heart and he is going to kill and punish every single person with everlasting punishment who has not belive him and put their trust in him. no expectations

yes your pastor is teaching this right, Jesus is first begotten from the dead . meaning he once was dead. in order to die you have to go to hell. Also Jesus said he would have to go to hell and many verses confirm here are a few

Matthew 12:40 KJV - For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

I desire to comment on verse four alone, when God swore, he made a promise, that the Lord Jesus Christ would be a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek. From this promise we understand that the whole Old Testament is of no longer any value to Christianity, why, due to the fact it remains under the priesthood of Levi, knowing Christ was not from that tribe, but from the tribe of Judah. Therefore he cannot go under the Old Testament law as a priest to help anyone, thus, the Apostle Paul concludes; Galatians 5:1-4 if you obey even one Old Testament law, Christ will profit you nothing, you are fallen from grace, being cursed to obey all the Old Testament law because you obeyed one, Old Testament law. Galatians 3:10 As Christians we should also know that the Muslim religion is false, based upon God never repenting of the Melchizedek priesthood given unto the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that Islam is build upon Old Testament laws from the priesthood of Levy, so with affirmation, and without doubt we can stand boldly and testify God is not a double minded person.

yes they will Revelation 1:7

"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."

the bible make it appar that he died of old age

the children of Israel were commanded from God not to eat and partake in certain foods. God says certain foods are not to be eaten by them deeming them unclean. because the nations around them were partakers in this God wants his people Holy (separate from the world). the new testament teaches that these laws are no longer in effect these are old ordnance from the old covenant, but we as Gods people are still commanded to be separate not of the world and Holy

You're welcome Brother.

God bless.

even though we don't know if it was a lamb they received adam and eve, the bible is explaining here that something has to die for our sins, i.e us and our Lord and savor

Knowing God or Knowing God

AS with all things in Gods Word words are used with precision and this one is no exception. In the Gospel

of John 13:7 Jesus answers and says to peter What I does't now thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

The key is the word know it is either oida[ which is to have factual understanding by the senses ]example I know have

knowledge that people sail boats but I have no learned experience of how they work. The first know is oida just

knowledge. The second know is ginosko spiritual understanding received by explanation of the one giving the knowledge.

The one giving the second is God by way of His spirit when born again 2 Corinthians 2:14 the natural man cannot

ginosko know Gods love grace mercy etc. because these cannot be known unless born again. Its interesting to follow

this word throughout scripture to better understand Gods word. Many times the religious leaders of his day had

head knowledge of God the scripture and the looks but no spiritual understanding at all no connection.

Thanks Brother Adam and Brother Rick.

God bless.
