Acts 17

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the GODHEAD is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

THE GODHEAD SCRIPTURES

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

1 John 5:7.

John 10:30, I and My Father are one.

My favorite is Malachi 3:16-17. God listens when we talk together about Him.

Also, in these following scriptures , we clearly see the Godhead ( Acts 17:27-30) speaking to each other.

NOTE: In the King James Bible, the words , TRINITY and TRIUNE, ARE NOT used. Someone who was unable to teach LET US as a lesson, used these other words to describe, 'Three.'

If we used the Search Box provided on this website you would have seen it come up with No scriptures for Triune and Trinity. In the King James Bible the scriptures are what your search will fetch.

Father God is spirit

The Holy Spirit is spirit

Jesus is called, Son of Man. He is all God and all man. God in the flesh: so He could be the Lamb of God and save us from our sins.

Note these in your Bible. It comes up quite a lot.

Mishael

Ahh, this verse coorelates with every verse in that chapter. You see, this was Gideon's army, which was very small. However, they had the 3 camps, round about, so, whdn they all blowed their trumpets, lit their lamps, etc, this made Gideon's army seem yo be much larger than the enemy anticipated. The enemy became scared and fled.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your thoughts Spike, they're appreciated & no bother at all with your questions. I've looked at what you've shared with Richard as well & something I can identify with, i.e. how people can look at the same Scripture & come up with different interpretations resulting sometimes in different applications. Unless, there is someone at the top leading the group & its branches (e.g. the cults, Exclusive Brethren), who promulgates how Scriptures are to be understood, then we have this 'diversity' of interpretations amongst believers. But with any exegesis of the Word whether from one skilled or not, the hearer has to resort back to the Word himself & determine with the Spirit's help & light being given, whether what is shared is supported in the Bible: Acts 17:10, 11.

And so to with the Rapture of the Church as another teaching that has a wide range of understanding. Each proponent of a particular belief can usually support his position quite well from Scripture, hence this debate that goes on perpetually. I hold to the pre-tribulation Rapture of the Church, as I have often presented my case in other discussions here, & from what you have stated now, I see that this is your understanding also. It is clear to me, that whenever God moves His Arm against wickedness, He does so by first moving or removing the righteous. Why would God want to punish or destroy the righteous along with the unrighteous? We have already been judged for our sins at the Cross & now declared righteous only through His Son. Is a further judgement warranted or even supported in Scripture? You've quoted this 'moving' of Lot & his family from Sodom; you also have the 'removal' of Noah & his family from the dry Earth. And it will also be for the righteous on the Earth, that salvation from God's Anger will also come to us that which will be poured upon the unbelieving.

Verse 28-The ability to move and use our bodies was a gift given to us by God.

The Ten Commandments apply today. The (just) are free from their condemnation. (2nd death)

God's (Moral Law) make the arrest

The Gospel sets us free.

Matt. 10:14 (example) Many trample the pearl of grace. Until they see God as a righteous judge,

For them Gods law commands their attention.

Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known & come to light.

Have you ever lied? hated? Lusted? Stole anything? Had sex out side of marriage. Wild imaginations?

What do you call someone who lies? What do you call someone who steals? What is someone called who uses Gods name as a cuss word?

Let's be legalistic. An empty stomach lust for food. Is that sin? Of course not. But

Jesus said whoever looks at another with lust (seizing them with wild imaginations) has already committed adultery with that person in their heart. Forget others, You're in big trouble.

Rev. 21:8 But the fearful, & unbelieving, & the abominable, & murderers, & whoremongers, & sorcerers,& idolaters, and ((all liars)) shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Now back to court....

Telling an honest judge in a court of law you're sorry won't set you free

and you can bet it won't work when we're summoned to stand the living God either.

The wage for our sin must be paid. ((Death))

The bible speaks of only two types of people.

The just and the unjust.

At our judgment reward will be given & taken away.

But God will throw the book at the unjust. (second death)

1 Cor. 15:1-4 Salvation in a nutshell

Acts 17:30-31 God calls all people to repent (turn from unbelief) & warns Christ will (Judge) the world!

Praise God earth is not home of those justified by the finished work of the cross!

The "Just" have been justified by the blood of the Lamb. We have confidence!

1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have ((boldness)) in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world!

Sandra,

Concerning the 7th Day.

Most people use Sunday because they can't shake customs and traditions.

You are following the Sabbath day requirement because you feel compelled to.

The 7th day was established for ALL of mankind back on the 7th Day of Creation ( Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 20:8-11, Exodus 34:21, etc. etc.) and was never abolished.

( Mark 2:27-28) "And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath."

If we believe in the Father and His only begotten Son, then we have Christ in us every day, not just one day per week. This new understanding is an enhancement of the 7th day, not the abolishing of it. It was made to last forever.

This is a day that God BLESSED and SANCTIFIED! Christ always honored the Sabbath. The Apostles kept the Sabbath after the death of Christ; look at Acts 13:14, 27, 42, 44, Acts 16:13, etc.

Pentecost is a holy SABBATH day; i.e. a day of rest.

In Acts 17:2 and Acts 18:4, Paul is continually feeding the people Scripture on the SABBATH.

Christ never abolished the Sabbath.

God never said anything concerning that fact, and if He wanted that day changed, He would have made it abundantly clear.

Have you considered looking at the Dead Sea Scrolls?

The Book of Enoch, in particular, reveals a 364 day solar priestly calendar.

52 (weeks) x 7 = 364

The calendar begins after the Spring Equinox.

Look at the first book of Enoch; specifically, ch. 72, and ch. 82 (column 27) are words concerning the ancient solar calendar.

Matthew 7:7

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Luke 11:9

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

Luke 12:31

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Philippians 2:21

For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

Matthew 6:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Acts 17:27

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one.

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

It is time now to put your foot down on the devils head, and start following Jesus for real. People followed Jesus all over for just free loaves and fishes. There arrives a day when you must follow Jesus because of who he is: the Son of God! If you give your heart to him and follow him; read His Bible every day; you can ask for what you need.

John chapter 3. You must receive Jesus and be born again. Confess everything.

1 John 1:9 Begin your new life in Jesus. Learn how to stomp on satans head in

Ephesians 6. For you and your family. It's time to get serious about what you believe in. Matthew 26:31-46

Jesus is coming back soon and we all have to be watching for his appearing.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. 2 Timothy 3

If you'll take a little time and read these passages, you'll be a whole new person.

Then God can help you defeat your enemies. Get your children saved through your testimony which is a very powerful thing.

I'm agreeing with you that God will undertake and oversee a brand new beginning for you. All those scriptures prove that Jesus is going to help you.

US is the LET US in 2 of the Godhead scriptures. They were discussing a situation amongst themselves: 3 Persons in the Godhead: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Romans 1:20

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7; 1 John 5:7

John 10:30 and Acts 17: 27-30

Write those down. It comes up in conversation a lot.

Hi Andy and friends, I understand the message but I do not understand the delivers of the message.

Thank you. Carleton the goat (for now).

Carleton,

Our message remains the same: Ye must repent and turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

Ok Andy and friends. I for now am happy to be your goat.

:)

Carleton,

It is referred to as self-righteousness ( Romans 10:3) and the unbelievers are referred to as 'goats' ( Matthew 25:32).

Hello again Andy and friends, The Lord just now has reminded me that my brethren near and far are lambs and that I should be more like them.

Sincerely, Carleton

Sharelle,

The believers do not entangle themselves in the affairs of this life ( 2 Timothy 2:4). This current world is Satan' kingdom ( Matthew 12:26; Luke 4:6; 11:18; John 12:31; 14:30; 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 2:2; 6:12; 1 John 3:8). In fact, for whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith ( 1John 5:4).

Seek, and ye shall find (Mathew 7:7).

Only through 'True Repentance' will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1).

The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17).

You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), It is only by revelation of God that you will come to know Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).

Hi, Saul was very, very good at keeping the law and so was he at holding the coats.

:)

Hello,

Please give me information about Paul keeping the law. People feel that they don't have to obey the law do to his writing.

Thanks,

I am not concerned about what is referred to as the new world order. The prince of this world has his desired order well planned and in long ago in action. The Bible's warnings are for the believer and those whose desire is to believe.

Many warnings that are often applied to the world should be applied to the Christian's very own personal life and Christian walk. It should be understood that Satan's plan is to upset God's peace in his believers and have them turn from God and believe a lie. Believing a lie is a lie in itself.

Satan and his world is the lie. Many hearts will fail in fear as the times get darker and they will use earthly or worldly ways to try to overcome a spiritual battle. The battle is for the soul not the body. The Body of believers, Jesus's Church and Bride will prevail in peace and understanding.

There are a lot of false Christians and non- believers who stand in the short run to gain by the darkness that is in this earth. We only can pray for them and live as lights of God as a peace witness that the Life of Jesus still lives in his true believers.

One great device of Satan is to blame others for your problem, for your life, for the conditions you face and this feeling of superiority or inferiority is not of God and it will harden one's heart and darken the light upon you. Blaming Satan? This undermines the grace of God! When this happens our self righteousness grows and our eyes are off of Jesus and we will lose peace and grace as the Holy Spirit pulls away and we will need repentance again.

Love your neighbor as your self and Love the Grace of God in Jesus Christ and listen to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit for guidance.

despite not your little begining

Hello Andy and friends, Actually, Nova Scotia is another home to brethren of mine. and unfortunately Nevada is not. Andy and friends, I do not need to say any more than God will remind you of them and myself when you cross paths.

Carleton

Carleton,

You can learn more how the people of this world been deceived by Googling my name. We understand you are in Nevada. Well we are a few hours difference as we reside in Nova Scotia.

In the meantime our message remains the same: Ye must Repent and turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18). It means a lot more than saying 'You are Sorry'.

Carleton,

You can learn more by Googling my name.

Hi Andy and friends, I gave my repentant experience in detail on this website on July 23 of this year. What is your point?

Carleton

Our message is according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17). Please note the word 'cannot'.

We also invite you to read Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:21,22; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Gal, 4:8 and Revelation 12:9.

Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

Good morning Andy, Perhaps there is something more behind your thoughts, please tell us.

Carleton

By nature mankind is born in sin and separated from God. As such mankind is not able to understand the Word of God as the Word is God ( John 1:!). This is the very reason why mankind relies on interpreting the Word of God while it is not of any private interpretations ( 2 Peter 1:20).

It is only through 'True Repentance' that mankind is able to be reunited with God and it is only through 'True Repentance' that God will be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1).

The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting, repentings) is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.

It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

LUKE 15:10. LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH.

The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).

Please do not underestimate how the Living God in Jesus Christ by His Holy Spirit can speak to his believer in any scripture or even one word. As one limits this possibility one is heading for a private interpretation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and heading towards self justification in one's own righteousness. God can speak an entire message to one's heart on an ant's work if he chooses.

Very well said and that is the Word. It's easy to take a few scriptures and make them say what someone wants to hear.
