  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Dr. Lee Given that the main subject matter of the bible from Genesis 3:15 to revelation 22:21 is all about

    the history of what God had to do to make sure our Saviour was going to be born and accomplish His ministry so

    He God could have what He desired originally with Adam and Eve eventually a Family He God being a Father

    so to make the statement the old testament laws don't count is at best questionable. The law was given to

    educate and protect Gods adopted children from the pagan practices they were surrounded by. Also God all

    along was looking for everything to be perfectly right according to all of His creation so that our enemy could

    be defeated. So yes the law was temporary Gods purpose, Abraham called Gods purpose, look at the grace in

    giving us the comfort of psalms and the instruction of proverbs and everything dealing with Israel. Doesn't

    this fit into 2 Timothy 3:16+17 so all scripture is profitable! Also there is still one commandment that fits always

    Mathew 22:37-40 on these hang all the law and the prophets its where Adam and Eve started!
  • Dr. Lyle Lee on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    I will comment of versus 1-5, the first day of creation, God created a single heaven known as the second heaven where the sun, moon and stars would dwell on the fourth day. The first heaven was created on the second day of creation, the boundaries of the first heaven is from the clouds down to the earth, therefore the second heaven begins from the ending of the first heaven to the beginning of the third heaven. Seeing the earth is a sphere, and the first heaven is also a sphere, we could conclude that the second and third heaven are also spheres, only each encircles the other. The earth was without form, meaning it was under water until the third day of creation, moving like molten lava, without any form at all. Secondly it was void, much like a baby in the womb during the first trimester, knowing eventually the babies legs, feet and toes will grow along with the arms, hands a fingers, but at this stage it is void of those parts. Just as the earth was void of trees, plant life, vegetation and such like. When God created the light, the Apostle Paul taught that light was all that the Lord Jesus preached about during his earthly ministry. 11 Cor. 4:6 The four categories that the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Paul taught are as follows, the gospel, the New testament, the gospel of the kingdom and the new covenant, all of which make up the light God created on the first day of creation. Then God separated the light from the darkness, let us acknowledge, God did not create the darkness, it was there already, but he divided it from the light. Now if the light is known as knowledge according to what the apostle Paul wrote in 2 Cor. 4:6 then darkness is also knowledge using metaphors for both light and darkness. The big question that remains is what could God use to separate bad knowledge from good knowledge? The answer is a world, it appears that God created a world for darkness to dwell in, as we study 2 Cor. 4:4 Satan is the god of the world darkness.

    Black hole is not in the Bible.

    On Google, type: Black hole, Bible

    I will say that everything in space was Created by God on the 1st day. Chapter 1.

    Search the words= heavens, firmament

    Genesis 1:14-18

    Scientists have proved ALL planets had water at one time. New exploration has revealed dry lake beds.

    ONLY EARTH has abundant water, gravity, ozone, sun, moon, tropical forests to produce oxygen ( which man is burning down to grow soybeans)

    2 Peter 3 shows that earth is going to be burned up and restored to original condition WITHOUT mans pollutions, and damage.

    The Antichrist wants us to think it's global warming, so they can force us to pay, pay, pay, to fix it. It's illogical.

    I don't care to play the Who Done It game. I'm out of here as soon as Jesus comes in the clouds and raptures Christian believers outta here.

    We've had the Bible to tell us this will happen for thousands of years!! In 1962, POLITICIANS took the Bible and the Pledge of Allegiance OUT OF ALL SCHOOL INSTITUTIONS. College too. Go blame them. Google it.

    For the past 60 years, the only places that teach Bible is in Churches. Do you see the problem?

    You sound young, go on YouTube and type: REVELATION STATION MOVIE

    It's 1h44mins. It's all chopped up into segments too. Watch The Millennium segment too.

    It will give you an idea of what is happening in our near future.

    Israel is a little over 9 miles wide. A sliver. God said it's theirs forever. Except, THE ENTIRE PLANET is trying to force them off of it. Iran shoots at them every day. This President has withdrawn all help to Israel, so America will be going through CURSES spoken in Leviticus 26.( Deuteronomy 28) Three more years of being mugged daily with high prices and no hope of the old days coming back.

    You should study signs in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Get a students REFERENCE BIBLE, and read it if you seriously want to know what happens next.

  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 3 years ago
    Rick Haggett Man in Garden of eden lost spiritual connection Genesis 1:27 created in Gods own image [ John 2:24

    God is Spirit], God in Genesis 2:7 formed man of the dust of the formed man dust of ground body then God breathed

    into man breath of life and man became a living soul[breath life chai nephash] so man was body soul and spirit in the

    beginning. When the downfall occurred man lost His spiritual connection with God and only had Body and soul no

    spiritual connection. A person born again of Gods Spirit gets exactly that Gods gift of spiritual connection which was

    lost in Genesis, that's why Ephesians 2:5 says when we were dead in trespasses and sins born that way all people after

    Adam and Eve. The exception of course Jesus Christ. The Gift of God holy spirit is the quickening spirit it is eternal life.

    When a christian dies I.E.falls asleep the spirit goes back to god who gave it the body dust of the ground and the soul

    when we take out last breath that is the end of soul or breath life. When Christ returns for the church His body those

    believed will be raised up and given a body like His glorious body, in the book of revelation the just and unjust will be

    raised to face judgement according to the deeds or works. This is my understanding scripturally, the challenge that

    presents itself here is biblically some teach spirit and soul are the same identical item but I don't see that scripturally.

    The word spirit can be translated life breath wind so this must be understood in context of usage.

    at biblical times were called stars and learned by astronomers studying the heavens NOT ASTROLOGERS wrong

    The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

    1 Corinthians 12:1-31 explains all the gifts, titled, administrations that God gives to the Church that Jesus has planted on earth Now.

    Those that He calls, he anoints for the work. Luke 4:18. The Bible says the gifts and callings are without revocation. If we try to operate without the Holy Spirits anointing; we will not bear good fruit. Can even become apostate.

    It's not something to treat carelessly. The Head of the Church is Jesus Christ. All parts of the Body are connected to Jesus.
  • GiGi - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Are you saying that all humans existed prior to conception as a spiritual being with God? If so, that view is not supported by Scripture nor the teaching of the church through the centuries. Mormons teach this view. To me, it is heresy.

    firmament means sky , the heavens or the sky, especially when regarded as a tangible thing
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Rita Endeavoring to keep this simple, all of Gods creation has a purpose including stars planets and

    the study of the stars or the heavens. Pleiades and Orion and are star constellations and Mazzaroth concerns

    all the signs of the heavens. The problem is that over imes the truth of what God has created gets worshipped

    then corrupted then changed to mean something it didn't mean originally Romans 1:21-23. The original

    intent Genesis 1:14, Psalm 147:4, Psalm 8:3, then Psalm 19:1-6 nothing done by our Father is not perfect!
  • Louise Wilson - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Replying to Mr. Glenn comment, I don't know if you meant to say it is the Spirit never get old or older, and the Spirit never ages. The body do get old, and it does changes, the body houses the spirit, it is the body that changes on the outside, were the Spirit remain the same, Just like Our Creator, He never changes He always remain the same, and I pray to be just like Him on earth until He transition me home with Him, Amen. GOD Bless you. GOD IS LOVE.
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 3 years ago
    You may find what you're looking for in Genesis 1:1. In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth.

    Elohim is used in the plural form.

    Genesis 1:26. And Elohim said, Let "US" make man in "OUR" image, after "OUR" likeness: The us and our being used here is embodied in the Elohim. They're not angels. Angels did not assist in making man but the word of God did!!

    John 1:1-3. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    The same was in the beginning with God.

    All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

    Elohim is used throughout until you get to Genesis 3:21. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the "LORD God" make coats of skins, and clothed them.

    After he made coats of skin from that day forward I believe he uses the covenant name LORD GOD "YHWH ELOHIM."

    In Genesis 3:15. we come to the seed of the woman. That's a reference and title to the Lord Jesus Christ. The term itself is a contradiction Biologically and according to the Hebrew grammar. Biologically the seed is of the man. BUT JESUS WASN'T CONCEIVED BY MAN!! Jesus wasn't tied to Adam genetically. He was the 2nd Adam directly out of the bosom of the Father, meaning out of Everlasting. He's part of the Elohim.

    In the Hebrew Genealogies the seed always referenced the man but Jesus Genealogy links directly to God. That's why it doesn't say seed of Adam.

    In the Torah Moses referred you to him.

    Deuteronomy 18:18-19.

    Acts 7:37-38.

    And this is how Jesus refer to himself,

    Revelation 1:8. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

    As Moses said, "Like unto me, Hear you him.

    God bless.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Gerald Veira Paul heart was convinced to go to jerusalem to witness to his fellow jews under the law

    but that was not what the spirit was saying because he almost lost His life there. Look at Acts 21:4 and Pauls

    still headed there and again Agabus who was point blank then Paul says he's ready to die at Jerusalem sounds

    good but not the will of God that's why the believers around stopped in verse 14 saying do the will of the lord

    the will of the lord was NOT TO GOD TO JERUSALEM. He had to escape with the help of other believers to save

    his life. A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

    People's Bible Notes for Acts 20:22

    Commentary

    "I go bound in the spirit. Urged by a sense of duty, yet knowing from the premonitions of the Holy Spirit that bonds and afflictions awaited him at Jerusalem."

    Acts 21:12-14

    12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

    13

    Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

    14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

    28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man [Paul] that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

    Verse 30: Paul is kicked out of Church and later beaten by the Jews.

    In Acts 20:16 we read, "For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost." He wanted to be there for Pentecost (Hebrew: Shavuot - or Feast of Weeks). Paul determined to go, nothing stopping him, even despite the warning of the prophet Agabus ( Acts 21:10-14). Paul wanted to meet with the Jerusalem brethren & no doubt to use that celebration time to be a witness for Christ - but knowing that this might well be his last journey & his undoing.

    Hi Rick,

    I'd keep reading. Seek the truth and open yourself to learn who God really is and what He will reveal to you. Pray for wisdom and understanding. I wouldn't stop after one section and make conclusions before you take the entire context of the Bible into account. There are logical explanations for your questions.

    For your food question if you continued reading you would have naturally found Acts 10. There is much more info in the New Testament about what law applies today, because there is moral law, civil law, and ceremonial law. The latter two were specific to Israelites. You would also read a verse like this: Matthew 5:17-20

    Regarding your other questions you would eventually read verses like these:

    1 John 5:7-8

    John 1:1

    Genesis 1:26

    Genesis 11:6-7

    John 10:30

    John 8:19

    John 14:10

    Isaiah 7:14

    Matthew 1:23-25

    Hebrews 1:8

    Isaiah 44:6

    John 1:18

    Some OT prophesy of Jesus to come:

    Isaiah 7:14

    Psalms 72:9-10

    Micah 5:2

    Numbers 24:17

    Hi Jim,

    You initiated a reply to me. I'm not sure how interested you are in my belief, but I am happy to dialogue with you as long as it is respectful and grounded in the truth of God's word, not man's opinion. You shared scripture which is great, I believe all the scripture you shared, but I don't believe your interpretation of it. I believe you have misinterpreted it and I can be very specific to the exact reasons why for each point if you are genuinely open to it. For the scripture you shared there is more scripture that says Jesus is God. He's not God the Father, but God the Son. I believe this, because the scripture says this, not because of feelings, bias, or agenda, but because it literally says Jesus is God in John 1:1. Do you believe John 1:1?

    Your comment began with a question not about the trinity as the Bible says in 1 John 5:7. But your question wasn't about what the Bible says in 1 John 5:7, but the word 'trinity'. Since we don't know each other I don't know your motive for saying that, but I can say that some others use it as a common straw man argument to deceive others in order to discredit Jesus. The word the "Bible" isn't in the Bible either, so is it not a Bible? The word used in 1 John 5:7 is the three are 'one', so if you can use that if you don't like the word trinity.

    Isaiah 44:6 - Lord is King of Israel, Besides me there is no God.

    "Sons of God" isn't THE Son of God.

    Do you believe these verses?
  • Theopilus Lowe on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    When the the statement let us make man in our own image is made. Who is the us that's implied?

    Some would say the Father the Son and the Holy spirit because it's easy to do. I'm searching for true understanding to have proof and evidence because I don't want to run away from these questions when contending with people while witnessing in the future.

    Same word here as in verse 22, "fill the waters and the seas". I think here also; "fill the earth".

    Prior to this the "earth" is described as "without form and void", (tohu va bohu), a shapeless mass of confusion and emptiness. Then came the "word of God" who spoke "light". The entrance of Your words gives light ... ( Psalm 119:130)
