There are a large variety of Bibles and some don't quite deliver the message, and there's some instances where we're splitting hairs. BUT
The spirit of truth is in the believer.
We often read "He that have an ear" and we see where some that are called blind where others can see.
And both groups is reading from the same book or listening to the same message. Some have different hermeneutics and come up with a different message than what is literally penned.
God bless.
The fruit was of the "tree of the knowledge of good & evil"
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 the knowledge of good and evil"
Genesis 2:15-17, Genesis 3:22
It is symbolic, spiritual & seemingly literal. If it were an apple tree, or fig I believe it would have said. See Matthew 21:19, Genesis 1:11,
Knowledge of good and evil, yet GOD's Word says the things of evil, we shouldn't learn. Genesis 6:5, Genesis 48:16, Exodus 32:2, Numbers 13 -14, Deuteronomy 1:39, (in context Deuteronomy 1:20-40 ) Hebrews 10:22, James 1:13-27,
Romans 16:19-20
James 1:5,
Hopefully these are all helpful
I agree, that 'jealousy' is normally understood as a sin, but when we see it applied to God's Character, then we can understand that the meaning changes. When we see verses such as Exodus 34:14, Joel 2:18, & Zechariah 8:2, then we can better appreciate God's Nature - that He is not as a man is. I understand that this word has at its base, God's Character; not jealous in nature, but because of Who God is & His righteous demands upon His creation.
When we read that God "is jealous for Zion", or "the Lord revengeth, for He is a jealous God", or "jealous for His holy Name", we see that His Character, His Holiness will not be compromised when evil abounds. If God overlooked sin & let Israel do whatever they wanted, then God would betray Who He is, thus He 'jealously' guards the Holiness of His Person & metes out justice when due.
And when He is "jealous for Zion", it shows that Zion is His special possession & He will always look upon her with affection & protect her. In today's terms, we could say that 'a country (insert yours here) is jealous of her freedom', indicating that this jealousy is good because the freedom now enjoyed has come through much pain & suffering. Since it was so costly, it should be guarded so strongly (or, jealously). So, I hope you can appreciate the 'other' uses of this word.
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 FORBIDDING TO MARRY, and commanding to ABSTAIN FROM MEAT which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is SANCTIFIED by the word of God and prayer.
The interesting fact is God gave us teeth for eating meat.
We don't have teeth like cows, sheep, etc. He just said not to eat the blood, as in cook the meat.
They didn't have refrigerators back in those days, so the whole animal was roasted.

I noticed your comment about someone and maybe you believing God made mad on the 8th day. Do you believe that man or do you believe God? God already told us He created man on the 6th day in His Word in Genesis 1:24-31. Anyone who says something contradictory to God's Word is not telling the truth.
God bless.
to imply that humans can do anything we want with abandon. I agree with you, we have created the mess of
the pristine world we were gifted. We have befouled the trust the animals placed in us as caretakers of them
by slitting their throats, spilling their blood, and eating them. And, we have disrespected the environment in
multiple ways via the pollution in the process of killing 70 billion animals a year, polluting the air, soil and water as well.
I made a conscious choice over twenty years ago to honor God and the animals by not eating them. I am an ethical vegan.
Peace be with you.
"For meat destroy not the work of God". peace be with you.

An atheist believes that deed must
be done instead of prayer said.
An atheist strives for involvement in life
and not escape into death.
He wants disease conquered,
poverty vanished, war eliminated."
Scientists sending up space vehicles have seen Lake BEDS on all 9 planets. Only Earth has abundant water.
Genesis begins noting the surface was COVERED WITH WATER.
My logical thoughts are that God took all the water and put it on earth. Things grew from microbes & bacteria. UNTIL GOD SPOKE and said, LIGHT BE. (In Hebrew)
FINAL THOUGHTS: This Bible is a story about the Godhead. Read Romans 1. It is about the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The story from page one, until the Last Page is about Jesus Christ.
God made, formed, created, everything; and breathed His life into every man, woman and creature.
The archaeological Story was for scientists to discover. To know and understand that all of this was brought into being by God. It says so in the Bible. Why would we not Praise and Worship so great a God?
Not to do so, in the purity of faith, is to spend eternity in unbelief.
[CONEY: Heb. shaphan; i.e., the hider, an animal which inhabits the mountain gorges and the rocky districts of Arabia Petraea and the Holy Land. The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks ( Prov. 30:26; Ps. 104:18). They are "gregarious, and "exceeding wise" ( Prov. 30:24), and are described as chewing the cud ( Lev. 11:5; Deut. 14:7). The animal intended by this name is known among naturalists as the Hyrax Syriacus.
Note: Archaeologist findings are recorded in a PBS special made on their Television channel. Look for it.

Genesis 1:26; In the Hebrew manuscript's, man here is adam pronounced aw-dawm meaning human race. Adam here has no Hebrew article (eth=the). All other races were created on the sixth day and placed in their chosen lands, except "the man" of Genesis 2:7. God made fisher's, hunters, says nothing about husbandman as of yet, doesn't come until 8th day. Gen. 2:5 is of 1 specific race-a tiller of the ground Gods chosen people. It is not a recount of Gen. 1:26 (human race). It is impossible to get all the races of the world out of 1 ruddy complexion couple. Cain is not in the Genealogy of Adam Genesis 5:1 for he was not of Adam. Cain's genealogy starts in Genesis 4:17 where he knew his wife in the land of Nod East of Eden from peoples of 6th day creation, an already thriving community that had a better than 1k year start on the man Adam (ruddy complected). From umbilical cord to umbilical cord CHRIST-savior of all would come.
administering justice when we break laws on the books. Traffic tickets can be disputed in traffic court. There is no need to run and be shot, etc. We can live by appearing in Civil Court with a low cost Legal Aid attorney, and state our case before a judge. God has ordained judges and courts to PROTECT the citizens. Yes there are scriptures for that in the Bible. "Obey those that have rule over you, and watch over your souls." When we just go along with the system, it can come out in our favor. Repent when we know in our hearts (SOUL) we are wrong. Then God will help us.
Our nation is operating on Facebook, YouTube and TikTok justice; which is mob rule. It causes CHAOS and people get inflamed and inflame others, and think mob rule is "legal"?
God gave TEN COMMANDMENTS, to help us have focus on what's right and what's wrong. Society is trying to kick out and tear down those commandments, but those rules were SET IN STONE.
If the majority of people think this way, and riot, burn down stuff, legislate it out__they will go through the Great Tribulation that will come down from Heaven. Many will be killed by the Antichrist because they will refuse to be injected with His Mark.
Things might get better if instead of mobs and riots, we re-register with the red party and let the House in DC know, "WE THE PEOPLE" say no more price inflation, and no more shutting down our own oil supply. FUND the baby food companies to start producing again! Quit spending money on Kerry's dream of a GREEN EARTH.
The Green Deal IS THE ONE WORLD RELIGION. Vote it out and don't support it.
Let's really start praying for God to be part of our nation!
Genesis 6:6 And today we are the chosen one too set thing in order. Example 1 Peter 2:6 John 14:6 Make ppl see Jesus Christ only in Him thru The Holy Goust can we see God. Many see a different God today, but are driven away, becouse of the eval who is in them and the eval in the spiritual world, who every one not see. Ephesians 6:12-19 W e all need to come thru in Jesus.
I know nice ppl who have going too church for 40 years and they have the holy spirit in one way, but are bounded in television and work. I belive that God have a place for them. What i try to tell is: Not everybody sees the Spirit of the Holy. And remember we have all different work in the Lord. 1 Corintihans 12 And in that the eval can grow if they dont stop it by a gift they have. A friend may se it and pray to stop it.
Galatians 6:2
Thats why Paul continue to tell us, dont give up! We must be standfast in the Word of God and dont complane. And Love Jesus and all ppl, and rases.
God bless us all in Jesus name, love u in Christ
Revelation 3:20
Heavenly Father please help Tasha with her life.
Let her hear You knocking and open the door.
She needs You Jesus. Please let her experience Your saving grace and power today.
Thank You Lord. You truly are faithful.
Help Tasha to fully surrender to You today. Be merciful.
Show her how Lord. In Jesus name Amen.
Apparently, before Noah's flood destroyed the antediluvian ecosystem, the earth could produce large bodied long living reptiles that we call dinosaurs (a word which means a fearful or monstrous lizard). The word of God states that not only did all humans, except eight, were destroyed by the flood, but also the earth itself was wrecked ( Genesis 6:13).
The first possible mention of dinosaurs in the Bible is in Job 40. God, speaking directly to the patriarch Job, challenges him regarding a mysterious beast known as the Behemoth.Now behold the behemoth, which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox; See, now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly.He moves his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are like tubes of bronze; his ribs are like bars of iron. ( Job 40:15 - 18, HBFV, see also verses 19 to 24)
The second possible reference to huge, now extinct dinosaurs is in Job 41. God, again speaking directly to Job, challenges him regarding his ability to catch or tame a creature referred to as Leviathan.Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, or hold down his tongue with a cord? Can you put a ring into his nose, or pierce his jaw with a gaff hook? . . .Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your maidens? . . . ( Job 41:1 - 2, 5, also see the rest of the chapter).
The third possible reference to these large reptiles is in Genesis 1:21 where it states that God created "great sea creatures." Many Scriptural scholars feel that these references are talking about the hippopotamus, crocodile, whale or other large known animal. Other scholars of a more scientific mind suggest that these verses are actually referencing dinosaurs.
The literal meaning of th
