Can you explain "the simple" in verse 6?

An expanse, something spread out, as in the visible arch of the sky

Context and identification of individual or group being addressed in any chapter or Book in God's Word is key to determine

specifically who God is speaking to. All Scripture was preserved for us, but not all verses are written to us. The promise, "no weapon formed against thee shall prosper......" was a promise of God specific to Israel the nation and people. The "weapons" being spoken of are literal, physical weapons of war. Notice the references to "blowing the coals in the fire......

bringing forth an instrument of his work.... and the word "smith" as in metal or blacksmith.(these are implements of war).

If this is a promise to all believers and applies some spiritual meaning to be a protection from harm from weapons or attacks as a believers claim to it, thru the finished work of Salvation, then where is the application to those who were/are beheaded for their faith and refusal to convert to Islam?!!!! Why are we then exhorted as Christians to, "put on the whole armor of God"( Eph. 6:11-18)? Because the weapons here in Ephesians are our weapons for battle, rather than some twist of a promise of God to Israel mis-applied to us(the Church).

Bro Dan

I agree. When dealing with Scripture, I look. To the plain meaning of the text first, as like you, I feel that the Lord God intended His words tone plainly understood without needed to look for obscure underlying interpretations or hidden meaning.

He is not a "trickster" like the devil. He said that His word is Truth. So we can believe it and trust it. We also trust the Holy Spirit to teach us all that is necessary for life and godliness, as He sanctified us through His word.

I do think is is good and appropriate to have deep thoughts on Scrpture. It is often in those times that the Spirit illuminates a Scripture for an individual to apply to their life.

But, that said, I think it wise for one to read the whole of Scripture often, to hide it in one's heart, rather than just focusing on a select few Scripture verses and viewpoints that one uses as the lens for all interpretation. There is folly in doing so. That is why I am thankful that the Lord called me to read the Bible from the age of 9. I have 50+ years of intaking of the Word and I have been richly blessed by doing so.

Good Morning Free.

Thanks for the post. We all should approach the Word with a humble heart. We all should speak the word with humility , knowing we are frail humans. And we should all present our viewpoints with humility, being willing to change it if one finds a convincing argument that reveals error in one's thinking.

But at the same time we are to

Hold fast to the faith that was once and for all handed down to the church. So, for me, it is important to study and know what this faith (body of doctrines) is. That is why I study orthodox beliefs and then study what has been considered error and heresy. That way

I become wise to the deception of the enemy as I hold every teaching up to the Word of God.

Why did God set boundaries for the people in Exodus 19:11-12. Only Aaron & Moses were permitted to be on it. We're they not worthy?

Rick

I was referring to Genesis 2:7 and the Lord God formed man if the dust of the ground , and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

I did not post that God breathed the Spirit into man.

I was referring to the action of God breathing something into man, the breath of life in Genesis, and the Spirit of Life into the apostles in John. God's actions and words are powerful and effective and accomplish His purpose every time

Jane, I fully agree with you. Women equals chaos that is why she is to stand beside the man not in front or behind. God made us for our purpose and man for his purpose. Never is a women to rule. She is there to pray, keep God in all her and the man's ways, help with the man's strength, to encourage, to console, bear the children, rise them up and he is her help. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

Whoops

Meant to say "Spirt's work" not dork. I hate using the small letters on my phone, but my computer is acting up and sometimes I can't use it for a few hours, Grrrr

Good Mornng Jesse,

I was just commented about your reference to MIKVAH

As it seemed to

Me that perhaps you thought that that was what Jesus was doing for His baptism.

That's all.

As to the conversation that continues to come up about baptism, it is obvious that some of us have a firm stance on this topic and present that view unequivocally . That is not ugly to do so, but some may be uncomfortable with people being in disagreement with one another. I get that.

But, that being said, Jesse, I always am glad to read your contribution. Like you, I have been water and Spirit "baptized." But for those who have been water baptized and not had the Spirit come upon them in power, they can be assured that they still are indwelt with the Holy Spirit as He is the One who regenerates us , gives us faith to believe, and comes to live within every new believer. One cannot be a believer without the grace of the Holy Spurit's dork and presence. As people live their life with the Spirit within, they will grow up n Christ and be equipped for every good work whether they have a "Pentecost" type of experience or not. The same Spirit works in each of us according to His will, not ours. God is the authority and power in every believer. I say this to

Encourage everyone to realize God is the author and finisher of our faith.

Good morning Catherine

From what I know of classic orthodox teaching

Jesus did not become the Son of God at Jis conception.

He always as the son of God from all eternity. He existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit from all eternity without ever having a beginning .

When the Son of God incarnated in Mary he also began as the Son of Man, human with a conveption, a beginning. From conception on This Jesus was both Son of God and Son of Man for eternity, never shedding His Godhood nor humanity, being both God and man in one person.

I just wanted to clarify that for those who wish to know the constant teaching of the church fro it's beginning through the centuries.

The view that Jesus became God's Son at conception has been considered heresy

Throughout the centuries.

This view is held by some today and, because the church is now so tolerant of aberrant views, it continues to spread unchallenged in many sects.

For me, I believe and will uphold what I know to be standar orthodox teaching.

Others may disagree with me and I respect their right to say so as I would ask that I be given the same respect.

Have a good day.

Hello Gigi,

I hope this wasn't directed toward me because you feel as though I have a wrong or negative opinion about water baptism? I think I have a fairly decent grasp on what the scripture teaches on water baptism, and I can tell you that I've been both Spirit baptized (Born of God's Spirit), and water baptized. I was following along with the thread a couple days ago about water baptism, but I chose to stay out of that one because, although respectful, it seemed to get a little ugly.

It's sort of sad that that happens where someone asks a question about water baptism, or any other of the controversial topics, and right away you can predict what's getting ready to happen.

But anyway, I will take some time today to study a few things out to see where I might have been in error in what I sent to Alex because I am not completely sure what I said that you feel is in error. I do know that Jesus was not a Levite, but John the baptizer was.

As for your last statement, "Let's just believe that Jesus was water baptized and the whole Godhead was present for it, just as when we are water baptized in the name of the Father, and if the Son, and if the Holy Spirit,"

To that I'll just say, "Yes Ma'am, that's what I believe!"

Amen to that GiGi,

God bless,

Very important truth, about spiritual wisdom! About it, there is a sublime explanation given by jesus .- Give God what belongs to God and to Csar what belongs to Csar We cannot serve God and Mamon or wellth or money or any other idol. Idol is anything that takes our interest and evotion above the interest we shoud have on God's adoration. Jesus admonished a certain rich young man, precisely about this truth. puting the creature above the creator is madness and darkness, like would be to put the bulb lamp above Thomas Alva Edison, or to put mens will above God's will. Why is it so hard' I recon satan's lie above worshiping God and Him is more and more a present situation, wich needs a present Truth from god as it's written on His Word the Holy Bible, in Jonhn's book of revelation or Apoocalypse, chapter 14:6-12.

God's sign of authority is on the ten commandements precisely on the sabath of the 4th. commandement. The power who changed God's eternal Law, replacing god's adorention on sabath by someone else on sunday is the same powerwho persecuted those who died as martirs on Rome colliseum, and received his power from Csar. Let's Keep sabath Holy and give to csar just what belongs him, which is civil authority only.

Jim From Luke 3:22 where it says like this word is [hosei for as if] a dove appearance interestingly the same useage

is used in Rev:1:14 his hair was white like [as if] wool appearance. Interestingly both objects are white which is

represents purity.

Jesus sais to a rich young man who called Good Master, why do you call me Good? there is only One Who is GOOD, Whom is GOD!

Moses asked to see God's Face, and GOD answered showing His presence and hearing a proclamation of GOD's Character, as it's written on xodus 34:5-9, and also anouncedthe future of those who repent with an undivided heart and Faithfullness, as it's writtrn on deuteronomio 30.2-10. Jesus also gave testimony of GOD saying. - God so loved the world that gave His Begotten Son, for whosoever believe Him, don't perish but ay have Eternal LIfe! Jonhn 3:16 and 19 and 4: 24 and 26.God took upon Himself our sin and guilt, and as a man of sorrows, went till the end and gave all his love and Mercy to whosoever accepts Jesus as a personal Savior and Lord.

God's Justice was acomplished in Christ, as God's Lamb Who was slained since before the creaton of the Universe, before space and time. God is God, let's give Him what belongs Him and be humble before God, and practice justice towerds our neighbor, as Jesus did keeping all the ten commandements as He resumed to the rich young man.

To chose God we need to know Jesus and follow Him with all our will of power and unfailling Fait as He Had, on All Father's Word, and giving to Csar which belongs to Csar, being respectfull towerds authority, and honoring the governor or King., and forgiving all men as jesus forgave those who insulted and killed Him. men!

Gigi I apologize wrong wording where in Genesis does it says God breathed into Adam spirit.

It is not wrong

Any Nation One Problem

Jeremiah 2: 11-13 states the actual one and only problem when a nation or people serve or bow down to

other gods, and that is because they have chosen to do so. Therefore they leave themselves open to the

destructive nature of the god of this world 2 Corinthians 4:4, in our day and time when believers stand and

endeavor to walk via the spirit I.E. Christ [2 Corinthians10:4+5 we are the frontlines spiritually wrestling to

bring those who choose to believe and building up others in the Church. The witness is still walking agapeo

and the lord adds to the body of Christ we plant and water but God gives the increase those who choose to believe.

Catherine Correct Mathew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke unto them saying All power is given unto me in

heaven and earth. It Is Written!

Oh that Job is struggling! Thank you for the words Job 26. Fantastically strong confession for the time Job was here on the face of the earth. And we who know what he had to go through. Yet he believes in the Lord. Job sees the realm of the dead, and avadon. But He thinks God sees that it is there too. Maybe there's a despair here. A darkness over the perdition that he knows they both see. Job was totally bewildered.

Yet Job knows that this is only the edge of His ways! He sees the hope, how great is not the work of the Lord, in Christ.

God will bless you in the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus. 2 Chorintihans 12. 1-13.

when God made Adam and. Eve he said to them be fruitful and multiple on the earth

God said let there be a firmament in the mist of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

The heaven of the sky, when regarded as tangible of thing

Gigi In Genesis it doesn't say God breathed in spirit, show me the verse where it says exactly that.

In Leviticus 1 : 14 The Lord instructed Moses if any man make an offering of fowl for a burnt offering it wd have to be turtle doves or young pegions....which are mating doves or mating pegions they mate for life....Just like Christ and the Church are lovers....Husbands love your wives as Christ loves the Church and GAVE HIS LIFE for it....My belief is when the H.G descened on Jesus he was showing them that Jesus was our sacrificial Dove that had to be washed BY RUNNING WATER The Jordan was running water with the living bird the Church....and wd have to killed and his blood sprinkled on the living bird the Church....The 2 lovers in Song of Solomon are Christ and the Church but they refer to each other as having Doves Eyes....impling that one of the lovers wd have to be killed and his blood sprinkled on the living bird. It was an offering for leprosy n sin to offer up 2 turtle doves, But 1 had to be a sacrficial Dove....John refers to Jesus as the bridegoom but Jesus answers to the sacrficial dove that had to be washed by running water and be killed and his blood sprinkled on the living bird the Church. Whom the sons sets free is free indeed....Then the living bird was set free in an open field...which is the Church and JESUS SAID THE FIELD IS THE WORLD, God so loved the world the living bird us sinners...Thats y Jesus was water baptised.....He had to fulfill all the law.....Till heaven and earth passaway not one jot or title shall passaway...He had to fulfill all the law even Moses law for leprosy and sin ...We all have a spritual leprosy sin etc....Remember Moses law was that 2 turtle Doves wd to be have to washed by running water.....Jesus and the Church had to be water baptised....b/f the CROSS...that new covenant.

But Moses law said that after the house was made clean then a sweet smell wd have to be offered up...Here comes Mary with her alabaster box .....The whole house was filled with the odor of her alabaster box sweet smell offered to Jesus.....GBU

Verse 19 holds a beautiful prophecy of Jesus and His reign over all the kingdoms of the earth.

Verse 12 says it all right from the start, but Balaam was not going to obey God.

In v. 20, God told Balaam to go with the Moab princes; then in v.21, God became angry with Balaam. Why?

I really enjoyed your comment as your great awakening has began we all followed a church and pastor or priest at a some point of our lives until our father God comes for us and reveals the truth to us. And it is being revealed to you

Yeshua is the correct name for our messiah it was the JESUIT's that changed his name to JESUS

JESUIT = JESUS

Follow No name Christ Yeshua said follow me. If only we had a grain of a mustard seed of faith within us to believe that God our Father will teach us the true meaning of Scripture. Well he does for Gods children can hear his voice and it is a beautiful voice.

Just remove yourself from an institution called Church and sit with God in the morning sun and you will feel the Holy Spirit upon you like never before.

ACTS 27:24

God does not dwell in a Temple made by man's hands.

So you see why God has called you out of that building dear Child our Father has come for you.

For the World has broken the 4th Commandment that to was changed by the Romans Emperor Constantine the 1st changed the Sabbath Saturday to Sunday

The truth is the Sabbaths is the SEAL of God. We became pagans

The wrath is now upon the world because the world does not know our Father and his ways for we all followed a pastor and priest we their understanding of scripture let me show you how angry our Father Gods is

REV 9:13

200 Million horse riders wearing Hyacinth BLUE & Sulfur YELLOW to kill a 3rd of Mankind

FREEMASON wear BLUE & YELLOW

COVID Nurses & Doctors wear BLUE & YELLOW

So you see Satans men have come to vaccinate the world for our sins for breaking the day of rest with our GOD

The Bible is sealed ISAIAH 29:11

Only the chosen Children of God can reveal the Truth and it's Hidden message's in Scripture.

No pastor nor Priest have the Key of David to reveal the Hidden meanings WHY?

Because God does not Dwell in a Temple made by hands

Return to God and keep his Sabbath Saturday Holy a day of rest and you will be Chosen.
