Discuss Galatians 6 Page 7

Galatians 6:7

In all honesty, believers are not supposed to try and interpret dreams, so I don't believe anyone here can truly tell you what your dream means. There are people out there that make their living interpreting dreams, but as believers, we're not to go there either. If you feel the Lord is trying to give you a message, you might want to go to Him in prayer and ask. By the description of your dream, I don't think this is any message from the Lord. When He wants us to know something, He will make it very clear as to what He wants us to know. The best answer I can give you is that you just dreamt of a green alligator in muddy water. That's it!

I would probably try and avoid the swamps. But there is probably no biblical message there!

What does it mean to dream of a green alligator in muddy water

When we were in heaven will we know each other like mother father children exedra

Colossians 1:15, ,18 Who is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn of every created.

18. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Bob, we can only look at this with a limited understanding, taking in glimpses for various Scriptures. Though in 2 Corinthians 5 we get a picture of this from Paul. I see that for those who die, their spirits go to be with the Lord (5:1-8). Those without Christ, into Hades, where Satan & the angels who sinned are there now ( 2 Pet 2:4). But there will be a time of Judgement for both the saved & unsaved. For the saved, the Judgement Seat of Christ that we may receive rewards/crowns or loss for what has been done on Earth (not judgement on our souls - that was done at the Cross & fully paid for) ( 2 Cor 5:10, 1 Cor 3:11-15). For the unsaved, the Great White Throne Judgement ( Rev 20:11-15) remains; a fearful time when their final destination will be the Lake of Fire, where Satan, the Anti-Christ & the False Prophet are. And we are with the Lord of Glory & His Blessed Son for all eternity. What a wonderful motivation for all believers to live each day for Him & serve Him joyfully.

These are the scriptures that refer to angels that were with Satan. Before Satan was removed from heaven: Satan's name had been Lucifer; angels that were with him were called sons of God. They were all thrown out. Where I don't know.

It's in the Bible. I knew I had read it.

Job1:6; Job 2:1, Revelation 12:9 and 12:7

2 Peter 2: 4-5 and Jude 1:6

Why would God destroy the earth with water unless something had happened at Eden. I'm not going to play a guessing game.

I'm in agreement, Larry. We need to take much care, not only with Gnostic influences within the Church but also in the translation of the Scriptures. Yet, I feel for those who do find the 'old' English difficult to grasp & to be reading another 'accurate' version is preferable than not reading & understanding the Scripture at all.

In my work with Muslims in Pakistan, I often asked them if they understood what they read in the Quran (note, it is incumbent on them to read it in Arabic). In almost cases, they didn't understand it, but were happy to be in that state, for in reading from the original language (Arabic), some blessing/God's Favour was supposedly received. Of course, through this ignorance, our Christian witness becomes stronger to be able to teach them Truths from the true Word of God.

My apologies that I wrote on Galatians 6 instead of Genesis 6. I always get tricked by the title against the name. Anyway, you have something else to think on.

Jessica, Jesus is seen as a part of the Triune God (i.e. NOT three Gods, but three Persons or Personalities). And this one God in Heaven are the Father, the Word & the Holy Spirit ( 1 John 5:7). However, for the sake of the redemption of mankind, God in due time sent His Word to Earth as Jesus, His Son, to give His Life a ransom for all (read Romans chap 5). Yes, God is intimately concerned & involved in every believer's life: He gives us His Spirit to do this work after we are born again (read John chap 3 & chap 14:16-21). We hear God speak to us through His Word ( 2 Tim 3:16) & His Spirit ( Rom 8:16: speaks of the Spirit speaking with our spirit, so we remain in tune with God's Holy requirements for us, how to behave, where to go, what to do, how to speak, wisdom, telling another about Christ, etc). I find the King James version is the best as it has been translated from the original Text (Textus Receptus). But if you don't understand the English, then read New KJV or New American Std.

Read Job 38 which tells you the Sons of God shouted for joy at the foundation (creation) of the earth.

Adam did not exist until 6 days after the earth was created. So how can the sons of God be godly men?

since when do godly men marry ungodly women and then giants are born to them?

John 1:14 Jesus is the ONLY BEGOTTEN Son of God.

Luke 3:38 Adam is called a son of God since God created him.

1 John 3:1 Believers do not become Sons of God till they are born of the Spirit.

So who was the Father of the angels? would they not be Sons of God also?

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

I know most churches will argue with me and claim Genesis 6 is not referring to angels and I say they are wrong.

when do believers and unbelievers get married and have giants for kids?

Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God IN HEAVEN.

Jessica: best Bible for study is a King James Version with columns in the center of each page for cross referencing. Also that has a dictionary and good sized concordance. Harmony of the gospel books & maps.

I've actually found those at Goodwill that sadly got donated. I buy them and give them to anyone who says they don't have a Bible :) my favorite thing to do.

I found that the best way to study is to read a whole book at a time. Don't skip around unless you are reading the verses from that center column.

In the Harmony books (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) is four Disciples that saw and heard the same things: the same thing written down by a tax collector, a doctor, etc)

I pay close attention to what Hod is saying and what Jesus is saying and doing.

We're going to be spending eternity in heaven with them, and we need to find out everything we need to know now.

When back to school sales start I get a dozen notebooks to take notes, ask questions, things to look for later.

Hattie, as in all Scripture, one needs to see the context in which a certain passage is written. In Gal 6:1,2, Paul references his earlier lengthy message on the Fruit of the Spirit in contrast to the works of the flesh (please read Galatians 5). So when he speaks in 6:1,2, he says to use that same spirit of Meekness (5:23), if you find a brother or sister overtaken by a fault (maybe some sin or error in judgement), then you who are mature in Christ & in His Word, help that poor soul to get back to a life of peace & victory - I apologize here that I am paraphrasing liberally so as to help you understand the verses). And, "considering thyself lest thou also be tempted" means: do this act of love for your brother/sister with great personal introspection & care (i.e. don't do it thinking that you are superior - that you won't fall into sin as he/she did. See 1 Cor 10:12 for a warning in this regard). And then, to fulfil Christ's law, we must help in carrying other's life's heavy loads.

I don't believe that we will know or have knowledge to understand all the BIBLE says to us. Kjv is for me. All the adds an takeaways in the Niv is just not right. Remember what revelations says about taking away an adding to the word of GOD.

I find it interesting that God has given us such a glorious planet yet man spends trillions going to Mars.WHY? This is very funny. Mars is red. In Revelation satan and the beast are red. Satan is no dummy, he knows he's lost this planet, his former home. Is he dumb and desperate enough to try to make Mars his new home? Red loves red! I told you this would be funny! I need to be preaching our glorious somewhere. I'm a retired supply preacher in Tn. Also preach revivals. Love it! Please pray. God Bless. Great website!

Can you explain Genesis chp.6 verses 1&2 where a child can understand it. Because I have over and over and I just do not understand.

I think 'people thought' Jesus should give preference or deference to his mother and his disciples.

So Jesus asked the people, who is my mother and my brethern! For whosoever shall do the will of the Father, which is in heaven, the same is my brother and sister, and mother.

God's Family is expected to behave differently from how we treat our human family...not. We are to become more like Jesus every day. Esteem others....

Friend, Romans is a great book to read every day. It's not that big. You gotta go there to be user friendly to the unsaved. (My own thought).

I really want ot understand god and jesus but i dont understand is jesus god? how do i hear god ? does god talk to us or the holy sprit? can you please refernce me to scriputres. which is the best version of the bible to read? thank you

As soon as we die, will we immediately be judged? Hallelujah and praise the Lord JESUS!!

I'm sorry Bob. I hadn't read all the way down about food issues.

Eating raw or undercooked pork can expose us to trichinosis. Worms. In those days of history there was no refrigeration. God was protecting his people. If the freshly killed pork was drained of blood and then roasted properly..it could be eaten with prayer. There's info on how Temple priests killed and prepared animals for sacrifice.

:D anybody for sushi?

I agree with Bob, it wasn't Herod.

I would just add that Jesus was brought before Caiaphas to be prosecuted. And once the sentence was passed, He was sent to Pontius Pilate.

Pilate was the Roman governor and head of the entire area for the Roman government. The Roman government was the only official agency that could pronounce the death sentence on someone.

The Jews were not allowed to pass the death sentence, especially crucifixion. So they brought Jesus to Pilate so that Pilate could give the death sentence.

Laura per the Bible Herod did not have Jesus killed. Pilate tried to release Jesus.

John 19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. (Pilate was threatened with treason if he let Jesus go free)

Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:14 -16 - For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, EVEN AS THEY HAVE OF THE JEWS: WHO BOTH KILLED THE LORD JESUS, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and THEY PLEASE NOT GOD, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: FOR THE WRATH IS COME UPON THEM TO THE UTTERMOST.

was herrod the one who had Jesus crucified?

Ann - this is my take and others might disagree.

1. David had faith and stood on the promises of the Lord. (like with Goliath) He knew the Lord gave them the land

2. He repented at his own sin and shortcomings. (Bathsheba)

1 Samuel 17:26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God

Read 2 Samuel 12

13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. (Jesus warned us to repent many times)

Why was David called a man after God's own heart. Was it humility. Was it obedience, what was it. Scriptures to back it up

That's a wonderful testimony, Gina. "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the LORD of Hosts" ( Zech 4:6). This verse reminds us that when we come to the end of ourselves and all seems hopeless in life, it can only be the Lord of Glory Who intervenes, and His Christ, Who intercedes on our behalf. You have rightly given Him all the Glory. Walk on in faith and in the Power of the Lord.
