Please prayerfully/Carefully Consider, for Encouragement and Comfort ( 1 Thessalonians 4:18)
The Day Of CHRIST:
"Mystery" CHURCH: Designated as the "Heavenly" Day of CHRIST, Which Will Be The Day Of the consummation of our salvation (into glorification!), And, Presenting of our "rewards!" (Phi 1:6; Phi 1:10; Philippians 1:6,10, Phi 2:16; 1 Corinthians 1:8, 1 Co 3:8-15; 2 Corinthians 1:14).
Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15) From "Things That DIFFER!":
Day Of The LORD:
Israel's KINGDOM: Designated as the "Earthly" Day Of The LORD, which will be, first
of all, a day of Judgment to be followed by the establishment of the Kingdom!
( Isaiah 13:9-16, Isa 24:21-23, Isa 26:20-21, Isaiah 34:1-35:10; Isa 34; Isa 35:1-10; Ezekiel 30:3; Joel 1:15, Joe 2:1-11, Joel 2:1-11; Amos 5:16-20; Obadiah 1:15-21; Zephaniah 1:14-18; Zephaniah 14:1-21; Malachi 4:1-6; Matthew 25:31-46; Acts 2:19-21)

( 2 Timothy 2:15; Romans 16:25; Ephesians 1:3-9; Ephesians 3:9 = Grace/Mystery fellowship {Romans - Philemon}, today?)
In Gen.1:26 God made man after their image and likeness and verse 27 God created male and female
but then in chapter 2 verse 7, God just formed man from dust of the ground and became a living soul and that's Adam down in verse 21-23 God created the woman ( Eve). My question is, did God created first batch of male and female human before He created Adam and Eve?
The Scriptures have much toSay about 'theDay ofThe LORD,' but precisely whatisTheDay ofThe LORD?
Generally speaking, of course, it refers to the time when the day of man, or "the timesof the Gentiles," will be brought to an end, and "The LORD AloneShallBeExalted"
(Isaiah2:11,17; Isa 2:11; Isa 2:17; Isa 2:11, 17). But will it include more than the actual Return andReign of CHRIST?
Will it include the prophesied tribulation period, during whichGod will bring Gentilerule to an end? We believe it will.
One pastor who teaches that the Body of CHRIST will go through the tribulation andthat its Rapture to be with CHRIST will followthe tribulation, writes:
'TheDay ofThe LORD follows the tribulation and it is the day of the LORD's wrath upon those who 'know not God and obey not TheGospel of ourLORD JESUSCHRIST' ( 2 Thessalonians 1:8). It comes as 'a thief in thenight,' which is not so with the tribulation.'
But this interpretation does not take into account ALLThatIs SaidIn Scripture about'TheDay ofThe LORD' - and contradicts some of it."...
...No, the Rapture of the Body of CHRIST to be With HIM will not follow the tribulation; it will precede it. Thus the Apostle Paul, after writing about the Rapture of the Body in 1 Thessalonians 4, continues in Chapter 5 with The Word "But," to show the disrelation of God's prophesied 'times and seasons' and 'The Day of The LORD,' From That Blessed Day {Of CHRIST 2 Th 2:2, et al}, for which every believer should be "looking, waiting, And watching!"...

Since it was newly created and there was no other place mentioned again so seems like there was an error in some form, and then from the research I've done, a serpent was also referred to as an elder, and in more research there's a discussion of other forms of life, which other religions such as in India.
The serpent races are recorded thru history as are the ocean going mermen and merwomen which a race was discovered by Jaque Cousteau son a few years back on digital camera actually coming up and peering in the the underwater sub as well as three remains found in California on the beach.
I believe whatever exists living is created by God. If there are aliens it's just something else created by God.
When it comes to creation there's alot of gaps in time, books added, books removed, politics.
Example, Romans crucified Christ, the Sadducees and Pharisees were the ruling religious political parties of the times, I'd suggest they wanted Christ out of the way more then the Romans.
and my refuge, is in God.
Obeying the world system, will eventually produce the Mark of the Beast. If we don't get the mark, we will starve.
TAKING THE MARK for the sake of eating food, automatically assigns a DEATH SENTENCE upon us, and our soul.
When we become aware of THE DEATH SENTENCE, we must REPENT and turn away from that temptation.
The 10 commandments, and the 2 new Commandments Jesus gave to us: carry death sentences if we disobey even just one of them.
Almost everyone tells lies routinely. That makes us guilty. It may seem harmless, but it's backed up with a death sentence.
Thank God that Jesus Christ came to earth to be THE LAMB OF GOD. He took all of our sins: known, unknown or forgotten, and was viciously CRUCIFIED in our place. He was sinless.
Is that worthy of praise? May we be mindful that Someone had to be put to death for our sins. There is no such thing as big sins or little sins.
GOD CANNOT LOOK UPON SIN. Without Jesus we are doomed. We cannot have fellowship with God. He will not listen to our prayers if we walk in unforgiveness against those who hurt us.
If we will choose God, we will be so wrapped up and tied up WITHIN HIS LOVE AND THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRIST, we will know the meaning of true happiness and joy in our lives now. We will never fear what death does to us. Our FOREVER HOME is with our Savior and Lord.
Testimony: when I found out how bad sinning is, I was standing on top of a chair looking into a vision of hell's gaping jaws in my kitchen floor. Twisted roots, screams. But Jesus held out his hand towards me. I was petrified but I took it!!
I was saved and delivered. Changed and filled with the Holy Spirit. He taught me to be free every day of my life. His Love makes us strong. Unconfessed sin separates us.

What exactly is going on here? Verses 1-14 seem to make perfect sense while speaking of uplifting and praying for your physician, then bam we are burying the dead etc. Please explain
I hope all are healthy. I am interested in serving others and doing God's will on this blessed Sabbath Day!
So I will continue to address the current popular christian belief of Faith/Grace and Nothing else. I will share some scripture below that affirms that Jesus will judge us according to our works.
Revelation 2:23
"And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works."
Revelation 22:12
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
James 2:19-24
19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
God gives us the choice to believe and accept this scripture and act on it, or ignore it. It is our choice. It's might be easy to fool ourselves, but we can't fool God!
God Bless.
We know that Joseph, the man who raised Him was from the line of Abraham.
1. Why is Mary's lineage not discussed when she actually shared her blood with Jesus. Joseph helped raise Him as His stepfather.
2. If we are all born into sin (male and female) then why was Marys' blood ok, but not Josephs'?
Some would argue once Christ saved us it's up to us to remain saved. My question to that group is can you do that and How?
By doing what wasn't accepted in the Law? Can self righteousness clean evil thoughts? If you refuse the only complete sacrifice and insist sanctification is left up to you, Can you present yourself as the perfect covering/Atonement? In this erred thinking you're misunderstanding what HID IN CHRIST MEANS AND ATONEMENT.
There's some believe Christ died for our sins but we want know if we are saved until we are judged. We'll that don't sound like this group have faith in Christ or their methods of continuous self reconciliation.
And without faith we cannot please God.
I believe in the keeping power and advocate mentioned in the previous scriptures given in Part 1.
Philippians 1:6. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 2:12-13. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
FOR IT IS GOD WHICH WORKETH IN YOU BOTH TO WILL AND TO DO OF HIS GOOD PLEASURE.
It is God in you that ( WILLS ) you to work out your own salvation and to do of his good pleasure.
PS. This is a Message on Sanctification by the Spirit and fruit barring which follows Salvation.
God bless.
