Take no Thought,

I'm glad to know you are English Sacha's husband, there are some of us who enjoy reading her post and accept her as a sister in Christ. Galatians 3:27-28 if we treat people with the love of Christ that is in us and it is not accepted, it is not a testimony to us but, is a testimony against them.

May God bless you both,

RLW

I was hoping you'd drop in and tell us what that meant :)

I believe the Bible is God's Word. If you believe it's a corrupted man's word then I wonder why you're reading it and what other info source you're comparing to, like Hebrew? Did someone tell you the KJV is corrupted and do you believe them or are you assuming this based on your own research of something in particular?

You gave a few examples in a sentence, but I can't quite discern what you're referring to. It sounds you're mentioning someone being naked, but you didn't say what book/chapter/verse nor whether you think the KJV says that or Hebrew says that or some other source? If you want to discuss your questions in an open manner that can be done and you'll probably get others' input, but to come to a KJV Bible site and claim that the Bible is corrupt without any dialog seems inappropriate.

I was able to comprehend your statement about tower of babel, however. Ok, you seemed to ask where races came from and I gave my opinion and wrote the 2nd paragraph response to you. But now you're saying that it wasn't in the Bible. Of course it's not in the Bible- if it was in the Bible would you be asking about it? And that's why I wrote what I did: "While the Bible doesn't explain all answers to all questions we have..." which is why I offered my opinion.

How long is a days journey for the Israelites?

Where to read about Gideon in chapter 6

I'm just going to go and say it... Why does Noah get naked? I'm quite confused, and don't really see any symbolism in it.

I would love some responses as I'm currently trying to learn more about christianity as I've recently felt more and more drawn toward god.

Thank you for you comment, I too trust GOD word over man's assumptions, but isn't what's in the KJV, the translation from the Hebrew writings? And if yes, then why do the Hebrew writings from 200BC say without covering his nakedness. brother your soul is at stake, and you have to make sure for yourself, do your own research, but be wise about it, don't go by what somebody is telling you it says, look for yourself, and you quoted some theories about Noah having a mix race family, that's just bonkers to me, and I've only been study for 6 months, and at the tower of babel, it says nothing about changing Thier races, he confounded their language,and scattered them across the earth. We know Satan Will cause a great deception, don't you think that corruption of the word of GOD, and misleading the followers of Jesus Christ could be the great deception? That's why you should do your own research, and not trust man. You said you will take God words over man's words any day didn't ya?

Look at Linda Rika YouTube testimony. Six hours in hell two hours in Heaven. Read Matthew 22:11-13 clothing only keeps a man from Heaven. The last chapter and verse in Isaaih. Many people lying. He got tired of watching the whole church go to hell. Ask God. Lord is it you in the dream? Lord am I eligible for Heaven?

I know this is not the same forum to speak about such but kindly check up women wearing manly garments I don't want to be branded a coward so I spake . amen

and his name was blashmd through all the gentiles this makes me think of every time man cusses and says GD. and when i started this i notice how hard it was to say JESUS name around certain ppl and how ppl could not even say his name or read the bible with out getting sleepy. you see we are real close to going back to the days when man takes all the glory for his self and the idols they have made they worshipp and kill the dollar bill they kill and steal and make up sick twisted cults that mock and slander the son they use fear to control humans these ppl use the same tools as the devil to control the world thats why i say we living in the days and we need to be brave and bold to let these ppl know hey i see what you doing i know the devise you have to control the ppl of faiths mind and this is a abomination of man i see and i lay my life down for the truth to up root evil in this wicked world that isnt supposed to be wicked but good no pain no suffer god bless you all.

Now ask yourself, does that make any sense? If you read what the Hebrews originally wrote, it say's without covering his nakedness. You are correct, when you say he went out of the tent, and told his brother's, and that's how they new to bring a garment and walk backwards, that's not what's in question here, it's what they have taken out from the Bible, and what was originally written, that's in question, and that's just so they don't have to talk about, different civilization's, using the curse of Canaan, to justify them in slaving black people, but the curse was, he and his offsprings would be of a darker hue. We have to go by the closest too, and the most reliable information that we have, and when they start leaving out words, and start changing words, just to be politically correct, and Christians except it, well I have a problem with that and so does GOD!!! GOD Bless brother.

God bless

What does it mean in first Timothy second chapter verse 12 does it mean a woman should not preach or what does that mean

what are the seven spirits of God according to Rev. 10 verse 7 ?

Hiya Fee the Holy Spirit is for Men and Women, God so loved the world . God is no respector of persons or Gender Gal. 3 : 28 No male or female in Christ Jesus . We are all under Grace, The Law was given by Moses but GRACE and truth came by Christ Jesus . GBU Fee

I am sorry for your family hardship.

Is death predestined? This is hard to prove with Bible verses, but my personal belief is sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. This is a fallen world and we are all immortal and are cursed to die, thanks to Adam and Eve disobeying God and committing the original sin. Satan may also have power to afflict us physically. Job 2:7.

So, we will all die, but we don't know the timing. We tend to get really upset and blame God for His timing being different than our arbitrary expectations. A beautiful child can even be in paradise, but we will sometimes be furious against God for having him there instead of in an environment on earth full of temptation and evil.

God's priorities are not our priorities on earth. He never promised we'd have a long life and be healthy and wealthy. We might hear man say that on TV, but that doesn't mean it's true. We also get frustrated we don't know why and keep asking why, why, why repeatedly through life in every hardship we have. Even Jesus as a human cried out 'why' to His Father: Matt 27:46. Even Jesus as a temporary man on earth wasn't allowed all the answers, and He went through extreme hardship. And He took it like a man. Didn't complain, but asked why. He kept His love, turned the other cheek, and had great compassion on others. If Jesus Himself wasn't given the answers, why should we expect to? It even suggests this in the Bible that we won't be given all knowledge here. 1 Corinthians 2:7, Job 11:7, Colossians 2:1-3

I believe life here on earth is a test. God is testing our character and who we will follow. Often we fail badly. We have a sinful nature we must fight against. Some of the most rock solid Christians have admitted their constant struggles with it too, like Paul in the Bible. 2 Corinthians 12:9, James 1:2

So, why bother praying? God/Jesus is the only hope we have. We aren't puppets playing a script, but have freewill. God sometimes answers prayer and can change His mind.

Thank you, S Spencer,

Brother, on part one, this is something I will have to study more, I agree with what you are saying but it seems empty, if you know what I mean. Because the first Adam, before he sinned is unlike any mortal man since he sinned, his body was not born in corruption like ours, sin was not in him. We know man cannot see Gods face and live, Exodus 33:20-23, until the new heaven and new earth, Revelation 22:3-4 in our glorified bodies.

Going by Exodus no man can see God's face, so is that after sin or does that include the first Adam? If so, how did God communicate with Adam? He communicates with us through His Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus that dwells in us like you said by the blood of Christ shed on the cross. We see that even after they were cast out of the garden they were still in the presence of God because Cain was the first to be driven from the presence of God, Genesis 4:13-16.

Are the cherubim and flaming swords a shadow of the ark where God sits between the cherubim? Is that why they were in the presence of God?

I feel the first Adam and the last Adam Jesus Christ is all part of Gods plan that was before this world and I feel it involves Satan because this plan, that was before this world, included the lake of fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels, Matthew 25:4. However God communed with the first Adam he was part of this plan that Satan could not see, up to the crucifying of the last Adam, the only begotten Son, Satan was blind to this because he did not try to stop it. Like what He tried to do with Job he thought he could get Job to curse God to His face, which he also failed.

The questions here is more for me to study not to you.

Part two

I know the first Adam could not bring eternal life but I feel the first Adam was the start of the plan of salvation, and the undoing of Satan. and the penalty of it was death, that was eternal death, and the first sacrifice for sin that God covered Adam and Eve with skins of innocent animals, as you said a picture of what His Son would do for us. The first Adam initiated the purpose for the last Adam Jesus Christ and the defeat of Satan.

I was relating to the conscience before, the word naked in Genesis 2:25 is a word arom that means just what is says unclothed. They were innocent or we could say ignorant to nudity until they ate of the tree and they knew they were nude, their eyes were opened, their conscience filled with shame and fear of judgment, that is why they tried to hide. The word in Genesis 3:7 -rum-mim is a different word meaning nakedness with shame. I feel when God said, "where art thou" is like a father calling out to a child he knew where he was but to see if he would show himself.

Adam was afraid for his disobedience, it is like a thief that heard a siren, he runs to hide to avoid the punishment. Lord God YHVH Elohim instead of God Elohim the name used from Genesis 1, until after day seven Genesis 2:4? Elohim supreme one or mighty one the creator, in chapter 1 God only created without any reaction with what He had created. YHVH Elohim Master, communicator, He started communicating with Adam as a Father would a son.

Not all was written, like with Cain and Abel, Abel brought of the sheep he kept and Cain brought of the plants of the field. Abel brought of the firstlings, but it does not say Cain brought of the first fruits. It is not written so; do we assume because Cain did not bring a blood sacrifice is why his was rejected? According to Genesis 1 they were to eat plants?

I have enjoyed this, and will continue studying, may we always walk in the Spirit of truth.

God bless,

RLW

Thank you brother Chris. God has called all of us to be a testimony for his love and goodness. I trust when he says I will never leave you. I trust when he says with God all things are possible. I trust when he says when you pass through the waters I will be will thee. He's coming soon and I know he is . I am so appreciative of y'all. I just wish we could get to know each other more individually but I know we will share what we all went through within time. God is so good. We've been broke and struggling financially and a brother I've never even met just on the internet sent us groceries last Saturday. I only had 160.00 but for a family of about 8 that wasn't going to be enough but when getting home we found out that the food they unloaded from Walmart was a lot. He even told two days ago the money that was supposed to be withdrawn from the account wasn't withdrawn as if the order was never placed and it's been a week. WOW ! God shall supply all of our needsI like sharing. I want to share. I need to share.

First, I will commit to add you to my prayers.

Second, I don't know if your husband is still alive, but what are his feelings about this? Stress is bad for everyone.

You've stepped in here to cushion the shock and aftershocks; which is commendable. Instinct makes us want to insulate everybody like a human bomb shelter.

Now, the hard part. You have 2 other daughters. You need to think about a long-range plan. Like my doc told me: stress kills. I took care of 2 elderly parents with long term illness till they died; while babysitting an infant. I watched 2 drug addict brothers die young. It is hard what you are doing.

It's so easy to suggestbut no matter the outcomes you need to involve your other daughters. They may be able to take one child into their families.

Now kids are going to try to run the show. That's what kids do. All of the adults need to be United in purpose to make this work. Husbands too.

I don't know what everybody's household situation is. I don't know if this is a solution.You need to try. If stress wins, you won't be there. Prayer is your greatest asset. Pour out your heart to God and receive His help and Wisdom.

I will be praying for this possibility to become a reality for your sake. I can't count all the cousins and friends children my parents took in temporarily, when I was growing up. We had fun.

We went to Church. Played baseball almost ever day!

Your grandchildren may need grief counseling and some churches have licensed counselors for that. Call around and see what's available. You might could use one too. Be honest. Kids act out their anger or they stop talking.

My gut says to take the cell phones away for a while. Limit hours of tv. Kids and adults use media to deaden the senses. INSIST on family dinners.

Families that eat and pray together have a greater chance of surviving tragedy. Teach life skills: laundry, cooking, cleaning. I did that with my son.

Ask for help. Don't be silent and proud, ok?

Most know God is good , and so is his Holy Spirit .

But are we Good trees or bad trees ?

If we have the Holy Spirit we have the power to be good trees .

A Good tree can not bare bad fruit , a bad tree can not bear good fruit . Said Jesus and Apostles .

A few examples , of good fruit ; love others Be kind , merciful to others , even enemies , give to those in need , time our money , etc . Share the truth with others . Live a spotless or holy life . Not exceptOmg evil as good or be indifferent to it , no compromises. The list is longer but this should be the character of our lives in general , can we make errors and mistakes? Yes but they do not characterize our life . Confession to the Lord of these is always excepted when sincere.

I'm not correcting you just adding to what fruit is in the believer .

Thanks .

Likely you know that the kidnapped missionaries in Haiti are non- resistant brethern. Pray for their safe return to openly live the Gospel in peace for their neighbors in love and helps.

Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Luke 5:31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.

Luke 8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

Luke 8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

In Daniel chapter 7 gives all of the beast the first beast Bible scholars would say this is Babylon. (do not believe them) Daniel was worried what would become of his people (the Israelites). So, God gave Daniel a vision of all the great events that would happen in the world up to the great day of judgement. Now I'm sure God didn't let Daniel put everything Daniel saw in his vision to words. But the first beast that Daniel saw in his vision was the United States (Eagle wings) coming a way from England (the lion).

If you are a Christian stay prayed up and ready to go up and if not i ask you to become one of Gods people

God bless

I checked my KJV Bible and it's not slanted at all.

Could be the publisher did it that way, or this website. What is your Bible version that you use? My publisher is Thomas Nelson/Nashville

People's Bible Notes for Matthew 10:35

I am come to set a man at variance against his father. This was not the Savior's object, but the effect. The conversion of individual members of the family would cause variance. In nearly all quarrels, except those about religion, the members of the same family stand together, but in religious feuds the family circle is often broken and its parts arrayed against each other.

Wesley's Notes for Mark 7:22

Wickedness - The word means ill natured, cruelty, inhumanity, and all malevolent affections. Foolishness - Directly contrary to sobriety of thought and discourse: all kind of wild imaginations and extravagant passions.

One sign that you have received the holy spirit is the presence of the fruit of the Spirit. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. ... Growth takes time, and you can be patient with yourself as you grow in the fruit of the Spirit.

12 FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The 12 fruits are charity (or love), joy, peace, patience, benignity (or kindness), goodness, longanimity (or long-suffering), mildness (or gentleness), faith, modesty, continency (or self-control), and chastity.

Gods Nature=

Omnipotence - God is all-powerful - everything consistent with God's nature is possible. Omniscience - God is all-knowing, of past, present and future. Omnibenevolence - God is all-good/all-loving. Omnipresence - God is present everywhere.

I was wandering if and how Zachariah 8,23 is rated to Daniel 11,33 :"the Godly shall be strong and do exploits."" When will these be fulfilled? Or have they already been?

Mr Alex N please help does woman have Holy Spirit same as men or no ? Is woman under law or grace ? Was Christ sacrifice just for men not woman ?

I sometimes wonder why there are people who continually say that WOMAN, have no right to preach, teach, or lead , for it plainly says in Joel that God will use his son's & DAUGHTERS , his servants, & HANDMAIDENS. The article & subject in Corinthians that Paul is explaining, is 3 topics ,. One of how a woman should dress , not over doin the make up , an proper clothing as to not look like a woman of the night, another as to being married to a preacher / teacher, an lastly the verse woman should not chatter , that word woman is a mistranslation, it has no gender, it's addressed to ALL who attended a gathering of the teaching of Gods word should not chatter, an should be paying attention to what is being taught,.. a dr. Strongs concordance will help with the translations , or a companion Bible,.. thank you

Peace

jesus is with us
