Part 3 of 3 Let s talk about Eden. I stated even if you say that Eden is still here on Earth God can hide anything from man s eyes. If God wanted us to find Eden, with all the technology we have today I am quite sure we would see it. However, sense we cannot see it then God does not want it or that angel to be found. The reason why I stated that Eden and the Tree of Life was in heaven was because the tree of life was in the midst of Eden guarded by the Cherubims, Genesis 3 24 So he drove out the man and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life . The same tree that is spoken of here is spoken of in Revelation 22 2. Now this is after God has destroyed this heaven and this earth and brought down a new heaven and a new earth. So tell me where did I make up something? Is this not in the Bible? I did not fantasy this?

Part 2 of 3 Man has been in outer space. Man has travelled to the Moon. Have anyone reported that they see Heaven and the angels? Those people that say that they have seen Angels, they only saw them because they were permitted to see them and know who they are. Satan is a spirit. He walks to and fro, Job 1 7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and from in the earth, and from walking up and down in it . Have you seen a physical form of Satan? He is in that place, or realm in which we do not see unless God allows it.

Part 1 of 3 Hello Insight 777, The reason why I chose the word realm is because a realm is a region, sphere, area. There is an area in which we do not see unless God allows it. There are at least three heavens, 2 Corinthians 12 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I cannot tell or whether out of the body, I cannot tell God knoweth such an one caught up to the third heaven . There are creatures that exist right now that we do not see. They are in Heaven flying around day and night praising the Lord. Revelation 4 8 read it . There are angles that go back and forth up on the Earth we do not see them unless God allows it, Genesis 28 12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it . These things exist. Angels walk amongst us we do not know it unless God allows them to reveal themselves, Hebrews 13 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unawares . So tell me Insight 777, have I created a fantasy? This is what the Bible states. I did not make this up.

Hello Joseph After each creation that was done I believe it states the beginning and the ending of a day the evening and the morning were the first day and so forth. Remembering God is Omnipotent he can do anything he wants. In Revelation 22 5 And there shall be no night there and they need no candle, neither light of the sun for the Lord God giveth them light and they shall reign for ever and ever . We know that there will definitely be one tree and that is the tree of life. In the end, it is man s wavering faith that continues to question what God can do. If people believe that there is a God then why can t people believe that he can do all things? I do not have to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the creation happened, I believe in God and his Word. It is written that it happened, it happened. Once again it does not matter if he created man on the sixth day or the seventh day the important note here to me is that he made it a point for Moses to write that man was the only creature created with a soul. This is significant for all of those people who think animals are human beings.

Concerning the comment on Mark 16vs17. Can you drink deadly poison? Why not? It 's in the passage. I have some drano at the house and if you will drink it, I will meet you and convert to your belief if you drink it and don 't have to go to a doctor.

I dare you to find the blood atonement in Peter 's message in Acts 2. The kingdom is being offered again because The Father forgave them at Jesus request see Luke 23vs34. Look the Son prayed to the Father. Notice all three together at the baptism of Jesus. Anyway, The Jews as a nation turned the offer down in Acts 7. See Jesus standing ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD in vs 55, when He had sat down in Acts 2vs34. Why? He would have came back then if they would have accepted Him. So he started going to the Gentiles. The bible doesn 't stop at acts 2vs38.

Question Was Abram in err to allow Lot to go with him? God told Abram to get a way from his kindred???

What a tragedy it would be for God s children to live for themselves now, in this fleeting, vapor like life, only to discover at the future Judgment Seat of Christ that they had forfeited many eternal blessings God had intended for them. Would it be worth it? Jesus warned on several occasions of the consequences Matt. 10 39 16 25 Mark 8 35 Luke 9 24 17 33 John 12 25 . Those who save now will lose later. The paradox of Christ s teaching is that a believer loses his soul at the Judgment Seat by saving it here and now, in this life that is, by refusing to deny self, take up his cross, and follow Jesus. Instead, he caters to self, avoids hardships and pays lip service to following Jesus, not counting the cost of discipleship. The result is deprivation of millennial rewards and eternal glory.

What are the costs of discipleship? Not surprisingly, they all involve restraining the passions of the soul. Because of indwelling sin Rom. 7 17, 20 , the soul must be checked to keep it from ruling the spirit of man. If left to itself, the soul will trump the spirit and lead the whole man. The result is carnality in the life of a believer. God s will is that the spirit of man, where the Holy Spirit resides, leads the charge spirit directing soul directing body, in that order.

Part 3 of 3 I do not understand what you are talking about? The Book of Acts is in the New Testament. It is the 5th Book of the New Testament. It is a transition from the Law to the Grace age in which we live now. The Corinthian Church is a saved church. They were sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, 1 Corinthians 1 1 2. The signs did not stop because the Bible was written. The signs still are in operational today, Mark 16 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe In my name shall they cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues When miracles happen this is the work of Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh. I have seen and experienced many miracles. There are signs and wonders in the Earth all the time people just do not pay attention to them.

Part 1 of 3 Hello James Did you really read what you are quoting? Jesus said it, Peter clarified it on the day of Pentecost, and there is nowhere in the beginning of the church age that anybody was baptized with the preacher saying the words over them Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Those same 12 men that Acts 19 1 thru 7 is talking about were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. To correct you it was verse 5 were Paul baptized them, When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus .

Hello Chatauna, with due respect of your zeal for scripture I still must comment that you are not explaining scripture logically. If Eden is hidden from sight in a mystery realm where man can never see it then WHY did God place cherubims with flaming swords around it to protect it? If man can never see it and it is now in heaven with God and the angels then it is not necessary to protect it with a threat of destruction by cherubims if it is entered. Being hidden in heaven would be enough protection. Besides God said Eden was on Earth and did NOT say that it would be removed from earth or removed from sight and placed in a different realm. The hidden mystery realm of Eden you speak of is just your imagination because it is not stated so in the Bible. You are creating magical fantasy to make your erroneous beliefs fit scripture. The realm where God resides is spiritual and can not be seen. Gods message in Genesis chapter 3 is Eden is on Earth and needs to be protected. Understanding parables must not conflict with the information given in the Bible.

I am resubmitting this again Part 4 of 6 The second half of these seven years, which is the other three and a half years, will be filled with torment. One thing that will happen during this time of torment is the fact that death will flee from people, Revelation 9 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them . Can you imagine your body being in a state of death, as we know it today, and you cannot die? You will suffer horribly because death has taken flight. How long this will take place? Well according to the scripture death will flee during the time of the fifth trumpet and the torment during this time will be for five months. So I would imagine five months being the answer, Revelation 9 1 thru 10.

Mark 16 9thru20 most certainly does belong in the Bible. If you can 't trust one word, what makes you think you can trust the rest. What if this gospel stopped with verse 8 like you say? Do you think God would end a gospel which is GOOD NEWS with FOR THEY WERE AFRAID. God hath not given us the spirit of fear!!! Also the book of Mark has 678 verses in it. Omit the last 12 like you say and that leaves 666 verses which is the mark of the beast see Rev 13 16 18. This so called correction just happens to be in the book of MARK. Looks like the Lord is showing the MARK on those who take away from HIS living words Rev 22 vs19. I assume you would like to TAKE that verse as well.

How does Mathew 's comment Rev 6 V5 regarding balances , in his hand gets Yokes???? Need Answer.

Part 4 of 5 In John 14 8 to 10, Jesus acknowledges he is the Father. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you and yet has thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works . The flesh is a house in which the spirit and soul resides. In 11 Corinthians 5 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation .

Part 3 of 5 I have to go right back to Chapter 1 of St. John. I believe that John wrote this book. Verse 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God . Verse 3 All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made . In Genesis Chapter 1 1 it states In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth . In John Chapter 1 verse 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not . Who was in the world? Who walked among men? The answer is Jesus Christ. The world was made by him. Who did not know him? The Jews, his own people first then the rest of the world. In Verse 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us .. Who was made flesh? The answer is Jesus Christ. What does it say in verse 1 the Word was God .

Part 1 of 3 Hello Insight 777 The reason why man cannot see the Garden of Eden or the tree of life is because it is in a realm in which we cannot see it. There is a spirit realm in which God and his angels dwell that we do not see, unless God allows us. If God did not want Adam and Eve to get back into the Garden of Eden then why would he allow his descendants to go there? The reason why God did not allow man in the first place to stay in the garden was because now man knew good and evil and God did not want him living forever with this knowledge, Genesis 3 22. Eden and the Tree of Life is in Heaven, the realm that we do not see, Revelation 22 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations . This is the same tree of life that was in the garden, Genesis 2 9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food the tree of life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil .

Hello Paul Barker and Abner Paul, I do not understand your point about the creation of man either? I stated right below your statement that man was created on the sixth day. It was explained in Chapter two how God done it. It clearly states that after he stated let us then he did the work, Genesis 1 26 27. If you both read up under Chapter 2 of Genesis you will read my response 10 21 14 at 8 10 am to George about God resting.

I don 't have a specific comment related to the scripture. I just wanted to ask, does anyone know if you can bookmark your place on this site? I am going through and reading the Bible from front to back, but every time I have to write down where I 'm at to find the next days read. Was hoping there was a way for it to book mark my place. Thank you!

Hello Paul Barker I do not understand your point about Adam having a soul? Man is made up of body, soul, and spirit, 1 Thessalonians 5 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless into the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ . The reason why I stated that he has a soul is because after God breathe the breath of life into him he became a living soul, therefore he has a soul. The point is that God, who inspired Moses to write the first five books of the Bible, had him distinctly write that particular difference between man and the other creations he made. The other fact is that there is nowhere in the Bible where it mentions souls that it refers to animals. So even if you wanted to argue the point that Adam became a living soul instead of having one, then the other humans that came from Adam had a soul as well. Once again the important thing here is that God made it a specific point to make sure that Moses wrote the difference between the creations. After the flood and everyone was destroyed the Bible only mentioned that 8 souls were in the Ark. We know that there were animals in there, so then the 8 souls were human. This is another distinction that God had Moses to write. In the end, all of these people who are saying that their animals are like human they are not. They have no SOULS.

So he drove out the man and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. If one believes the story is literal and not a parable, where is EDEN? The earth is real, man and woman are real and I believe cherubims are real. God did not destroy Eden but instead placed Cherubims to protect it, so if Eden is a real place then man should be able to see it today from a distance. The cherubims would also be visable. In Ezekiel 28 12 19 the prophet Ezekiel the "son of man " sets down God 's word against the king of Tyre the king was the "seal of perfection ", adorned with precious stones from the day of his creation, placed by God in the garden of Eden on the holy mountain as a guardian cherub. But the king sinned through wickedness and violence, and so he was driven out of the garden and thrown to the earth, where now he is consumed by God 's fire The Eden in Ezekiel appears to be located in Lebanon by some scholars. Juris Zarins believes that the Garden of Eden was situated at the head of the Persian Gulf, where the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers run into the sea, from his research on this area using information from many different sources, including Landsat images from space. However, even from space there is no area seen on earth unoccupied by man, full of trees and animals, that is surrounded by cherubims with flaming swords. It is my belief that Eden symbolically represents the Earth at Peace. Man, sinning by turning away from God, began to tell lies, placing blame where it did not belong. Adam did not want to take responsibility for his wrongdoing. The peaceful harmony of Eden, Earth at Peace, can not exist with men that do not tell the truth. So the earth will never be at peace until the return of Jesus because there are instruments of war, represented by the cherubims, protecting Peace. It is ironic that on earth now Peace is protected by War or the threat of it and Life by Death.

Part 2 of 2 So tell me who was in the beginning? Who made the World? Who did not receive who? Who came in the flesh? The answer to all these questions is Jesus Christ. 1 Timothy 3 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles believed on in the world, received up into glory . If I can say it like this, the scripture states it is a mystery that this took place, but it still took place. God came in the flesh. Who preached to the Gentiles? Who was received up into glory? The answer is Jesus Christ. AMEN.

Oneness theology teaches that God was in the mode of the Father in the Old Testament. God was seen in the OT not as a vision or a dream or an angel in the following verses Exo. 6 2 3 Gen. 19 24 Num. 12 6 8 . But, Jesus said no one has seen the Father John 6 46 . If they were seeing God Almighty Exo. 6 2 3 but it wasn 't the Father, then who was it?

Part 4 of 6 The second half of these seven years, which is the other three and a half years, will be filled with torment. One thing that will happen during this time of torment is the fact that death will flee from people, Revelation 9 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them . Can you imagine your body being in a state of death, as we know it today, and you cannot die? You will suffer horribly because death has taken flight. How long this will take place? Well according to the scripture death will flee during the time of the fifth trumpet and the torment during this time will be for five months. So I would imagine five months being the answer, Revelation 9 1 thru 10.

Part 4 of 5 In John 14 8 to 10, Jesus acknowledges he is the Father. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you and yet has thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works . The flesh is a house in which the spirit and soul resides. In 11 Corinthians 5 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation .

Part 3 of 5 I have to go right back to Chapter 1 of St. John. I believe that John wrote this book. Verse 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God . Verse 3 All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made . In Genesis Chapter 1 1 it states In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth . In John Chapter 1 verse 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not . Who was in the world? Who walked among men? The answer is Jesus Christ. The world was made by him. Who did not know him? The Jews, his own people first then the rest of the world. In Verse 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us .. Who was made flesh? The answer is Jesus Christ. What does it say in verse 1 the Word was God .

Paul cries out in Romans 7 24, O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? The apostle s unredeemed soul was working in league with his body, holding him back from serving God. He refers to it as the law of sin and death Rom. 8 2 . But in the same verse Paul reveals the secret of victory over this law. It is another law, the law of the spirit of life in Christ which frees believers from the law of sin and death. Some call it the law of counteraction. credit James Hollandsworth 3 Tenses of Salvation

Which answer best describes your relationship with the Lord? a. I have been saved. b. I am being saved. c. I will be saved. d. all of the above. Of course, the correct answer for all born again children of God is d. all of the above. The extent of your reward or loss at the Judgment Seat will be determined by the extent to which your soul is saved in this life. credit James Hollandsworth the Three Tenses of Salvation

I love our Lord and praise, worship, thank and acknowledge Him for His pure and great love. I am seeking to apply His Holy Word to my life, dividing God 's Word rightly. Is it Biblical to apply Christ 's healing to my body for as Christ is so am I in this world?
