Discuss Genesis 1 Page 35

Hiya Chris Just something you need to ponder.No pun intended, Jesus said these things are hid from the wise and prudent but revealed unto Babes and sucklings ,So the bible is mostly hid spritually speaking. Remember without a parable he spoke not unto them . Everything was hid spritually speaking.The carnal man understands not the things of the Spirit as Jesus told Peter flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you but my Father in heaven.These things are hid from the wise and prudent but revealed unto babes which is that babe that is born in us from his seed the word resulting in a new creature which is spirit the H.G. That Heavenly Child as we have born the image of the early we must also bear ( birth ) the image of the heavenly which is our new innerman . Remember Israel were sola scriptura, they knew the bible every jot and title but Israel stoned almost every prophet that God sent them and rejected the Christ . Jesus asked 1 day which of the prophets have not your Father stoned. Bible knowledge alone cannot save us .Its gotta come via divine revelation . Which is the seed of Sower sown in our hearts resulting in a heavenly birth of Christ in us which is the H.G. the Child of Promise not the written word but the living word ( his voice ) today if you will hear his voice harden not you hearts . Chris the parable of the sower and his precious seed is the multiplication of very God in humanity via that living word as Peter said being bornagain of an incorruptible seed even by the word of God that livieth and abideth for ever. Remember what Jesus said to whom the word came it made them Gods , Remember Jesus SAID search the Scriptures in them you think you have eternal life but it is them that testify of me the living WORDS. The GRAND CHILDREN ,Jesus said the good seed ( his seeds ) are the Children of the Kingdom . k thanks for your time no pun intented .

Hi Alex. Actually, I too was reading from Exodus 3:15: "And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."

My Bible tells me that God spoke to Moses & to tell the Israelites that it was He that sent Moses to them. And what was the Name that he should give them? Verse 14: "I AM". "I Am that I Am" is generally understood as 'God's Being as absolute, incomprehensible, unchanging & eternal'. And in case they couldn't grasp that Name, God confirmed that He was the same God, the God of their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob.

What you read as 'God's Name is Abraham, Isaac & Jacob' because of the part of the verse that reads, "this is my name for ever", actually refers to God's Name being "I AM, Who IS the God OF Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob".

Then the rest of your belief of a "God, Son & Granson" (sic), or a "heavenly Granson which is the H.G. the Son that comes out of Christ loins", or "Christ is the one who IS GONNA sows that seed thus he is the father of the H.G." is irrelevant, erroneous, indeed bordering on blasphemy. Whoever or whatever has put such strange things in your mind needs to be rooted out & you need to re-read the Scriptures as given in a plain, intelligible manner & not trying to dig so deep for 'hidden' meanings thus making God's Holy Word infused with error & gibberish. May the Lord help us to read & understand His Word as He has plainly given to us.

In Ex 3, God did not tell Moses his name was Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob but the God, or Elohim, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. He told Moses to tell them Ayah Asher Ayah, I will be, sent him unto them meaning that he could manifest himself as anything he wanted to be. Then he told Moses that his name was Yahweh.

.Maureen also more description of physical heaven is Genesis 1:14-17 further description of Gen. 1:6-9.

Amen and Amen, Brother Alex:

The TRUE Israel was ALWAYS the Israel that would be CREATED by the death and resurrection of Christ.

Everything in the OLD; ONLY, pointed to the NEW.

Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh (Old Israel):

Romans 2:29 But HE IS A JEW (New Israel), which is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, IN THE SPIRIT, and not in the letter (flesh); whose praise is not of men but of God.

When you are BORN AGAIN, you are no longer a gentile, but a TRUE JEW.

The true house of Israel and temple of God are his SAINTS, his OFFSPRING, his INHERITANCE, his POSSESSIONS, bought and PAID FOR.

Psalms 2:8 Ask of me (my Son), and I (the Father) shall GIVE THEE (my Son) the heathen for thine INHERITANCE, and the uttermost parts for the earth for a POSSESSION.

Psalms 2:9 And thou (my Son) shall break them with a rod of iron; and thou (my Son) shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.

We are the pot and he is the potter.

Christ WILL keep breaking you, UNTIL; you AGREE with him.

Matthew 5:25 AGREE with you adversary (God the Father) quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him (while you are ALIVE); lest at any time the adversary (God the Father) deliver you to the judge (Christ), and the judge (Christ) deliver you to the officer (Death), and thou be cast into prison (the Grave).

The wages of SIN (UNBELIEF) is DEATH. BELIEVING is LIFE.

is there a verse forbidding to hide your gace

Maureen In Genesis 1: 6-9 Gods definition of heaven, the word firmament is expanse the word heaven is the word shamayim which means heaved up things so apparently all things above earth is heaven then there is also heavenly, spiritually according to Ephesians we are seated in heavenly places in Christ. Kinda Neat. From what I've studied. Any other input more than welcome. God Bless

GM Chris GBU But you are leaving out Exodus 3 : 15 God is telling Moses His name is Abraham Issac and Jacob and that is my Name Forever and Memorial to all Generations ,Why wd God tell Moses that is name is Abraham, Isaac and Jacob simply b/c these 3 men are a Posterity of the nation of Israel ,A type of the kingdom of God the very kingdom of God, The very fact that we have a Father and Son begs the Question of a Granson and an Israel of GOD. Without this Abraham Issac and Jacob ,Father, Son and Granson scenario there cannot be an Israel of God. Its Gods Memorial to ALL Generation , Even the Davidic Kingdom was Father, Son and Granson and Our Lord indentifies with this Davidic Kingdom saying I AM THE ROOT AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID THE BRIGHT and the Morning star.( His memorial ) Isaiah describes the Davidic Kingdom as Jesse , David and and Solomon. Father Son and Granson in Isaiah 11: 1.Meaning there is gonna be heavenly Granson which is the H.G. th Son that comes out of Christ loins ( his seed the word) When he breathe on them that was his word which is his seed ,they were impregnated with his seed the word .Thats y Jesus tells them b/c i have spoken these words sorrows have filled your hearts a spritual pregnancy. The Child of Promise which is the H.G. was not born till Pentacost some 50 days later. Chris remember God wd NOT let David the son build the Temple, God wd only let Solomon the Granson, that son that came out of Davids loins build the temple . It means that the Granson which is the seed ,the word that Christ sows in our hearts is gonna build the temple in our hearts. He is truly the multiplication of God Almighty ,Its our bodies that is gonna be the Temple of the H.G. the Granson IS THE H.G. Simple b/c Christ is the one who IS GONNA sows that seed thus he is the father of the H.G. Just like Abraham,Issac n Jacob Father ,son and Granson. his Name for ever and my memorial to all generations. k

Hello Alex. Thanks for your comments which I have seen previously written to others. To respond to all what you've stated would take too long & be tedious, since I would challenge you on almost everything you stated. However, to note what you wrote: "God told Moses that his Name was Abraham Issac and Jacob." My Bible tells me that God spoke to Moses in this manner: "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." There would be a big difference in God's Name being Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob and God being the God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob.

I understand that you have an agenda to push here, but any Bible reader, & particularly those well studied in the Scriptures, would discern that what you've shared is highly spiritualized & bears little resemblance to the revealed Scriptures & the correct 'dividing' of them. Thank you for your time.

Amen Brother Chris!!

Thank you for that great declaration of the trinity.

God bless you.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let US (not me) make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

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.

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Sometimes people spend their time trying to prove someone else is wrong (must be worried) not leading others to believe in being (born again - new creature), (repentance - turn), faith - hope - charity. Heaven is real, (Hell - lake of fire is real Luke 16:23) Eternity is never ending. Mark 9:44, Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

Hello Melanie. I think you're referring to the Old Testament Laws & the harsh punishment given should they be broken. Some laws brought on the death penalty while others didn't. They sound very unpalatable to us now because we've been conditioned by society & government to accept most crimes as being only worthy of some degree of punishment, but in the Divine Judgement, all sin & all wicked acts against others brings on a severe penalty. If "the wages of sin is death" ( Romans 6:23), then both physical death & spiritual death has "passed onto all men".

In Leviticus chapter 20, we get a list of those crimes that the Lord prescribed the death penalty. And this was so because God declared, "And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine." ( Leviticus 20:26). The people were given ample warning, so it took a wilful disobedience & rebellion against God for a person to purposely pursue those crimes; & judgement & death was certain. And yet, if the people brought & offered a sacrifice of repentance (Leviticus chapter 5), they were forgiven for certain crimes.

Likewise, even though that type of punishment is generally not given for the crimes we see today, we know that God has not overlooked it, neither the disease of our hearts. And that is why He sent His Son to this world: that by His Sacrifice for us, He has provided us the only way that God could accept us - when we come in repentance for our sins & in faith in Jesus' Death for us. And for those who rebel against God's Word & His Sacrifice, our courts certainly won't punish them, but we can be assured that all will stand guilty before God & experience an eternity of punishment. "He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses" ( Hebrews 10:28); our laws & justice have little resemblance to Divine requirements. Yet we can thank God that His Mercy, through His Son, avails to us all. But one day, even that door will close.

Hiya Christ GM But you do not understand the Godhead , Its very simply ,Its exactly like Abraham Issac and Jacob . Father Son and Granson 3 distinct beings but 1 Posterity ( 1 bloodline ) . That resulted in the nation of Israel Just as Abraham offered up his only Son Isaac so God Almighty offered up his only son Jesus . When they saw Jesus with that crown of thorns on his head they remembered that RAM CAUGHT IN THE thicket by his horns .The Godhead is simply Father, Son and GRANSON , Thats y God told Moses that his Name was Abraham Issac and Jacob. And thats y God, his Father made that great Promise that Christ his only son wd be multiplied as the Stars of Heaven,And thats y the Sower will go forth to sow his Precious Seed the Living Word in humanity that It might initiate a birth of Christ in all men . Making us Gods as Jesus Said to WHOM THE WORD CAME IT MADE THEM GODS and the scripture CANNOT BE BROKEN . Just as Abraham was multiplied as the sands of the seas so God is gonna be multiplied as the Stars of HEAVEN. Thus there will be an Israel of GOD VIA THE SEEDS OF Christ, This is what God wanted to tell Moses at the bush when he told Moses that his name was Abraham , Issac, and Jacob this is my NAME FOR EVER and my MEMORIAL TO ALL GENERATIONS I.E. there is gonna be an Israel of God. Its God himself that wants a posterity,Thats what ABRAHAM means exaulted FATHER, Ya gotta realize the very reason Jesus died is that he might be Multiplied as the stars of heaven ( that he might bring many Sons into Glory via his seed the Word ) even in the natural when a seed dies it multiplies as that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the H.G. the Child of Promise, that results from his seed being bornagain of an incorruptible seed even by the words of God which was the Promise, Behold i send the Promise of my FATHER UPON YOU. which was baptism of the H.G. K MI VOY

Hi Wayne. The Triune God, as the Godhead is sometimes described, is a difficult concept for us to understand or describe. Even if we say that God exists in three Persons or Entities, this also fails in conveying a correct meaning. The only way to understand this, is to acknowledge that God has chosen to manifest Himself to us by the Word that issues forth from His Being and by His Spirit that He sends forth from His Being. God could also manifest Himself in other ways - we're not told, except by the manner declared here.

It would be an incorrect belief to think of God as three gods - it's only the One God declaring Himself to the World by His Word & His Spirit. In a poor example, it would be like the Sun in our galaxy: God has created it to give us light & heat (which we need for survival). If even one of those emanations from the sun are removed, we would be annihilated.

From within God, He always despatched His Word to His people (by His Mouth or through the mouths of His prophets). But "in these last days" He has spoken to us by His Son ( Hebrews 1:1,2). And Who is this Son? He is "the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power". This very emanation from God, His Word, was given flesh (even as you quoted John 1:1-14), for the purposes to bring God's Word for the last time to His people & to be the one & only means for their salvation (by His sacrifice for them). But God did not abandon the Gentiles; as this Word (the Good News) was carried by the apostles of Christ & the Church, Gentiles could also have the opportunity to hear, to believe & to call upon that Name to be saved. And that Word that went out to both Jew & Gentile was empowered by God's Spirit, so that all who hear may be 'reproved of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment' ( John 16:8).

I've just shared this to show how the ONE God manifests Himself & works, by sending out His Word & His Spirit to accomplish His purposes.

I was taught that this part of the Book of Revelation (where Satan and the evil angels that followed him; were kicked out of heaven by Michael the Archangel)

Happened before Genesis 1:1

The Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the waters. Job10:22

A quick flip over to John 1:1-5

It is almost palpable that everything and the Holy Spirit were waiting for the WORD to speak:

Psalm 33:6-7

God started Time ticking on earth.

The Word God spoke: Let there be....

Studying Genesis is so much more revealing when us search the "center of each page reference column scriptures, with it". Study Bibles with that verticle center column, makes study more interesting. There's nuggets of gold all through the Bible. I had to learn Not To Speed Read through Genesis. There's a treasure just in Job's reference columns.

There's plenty of scriptures to make what you said powerful. Bless you.

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.

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

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"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:"

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

Matthew 1:23

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."

Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

I scribbled all the scripture references inside my Bible cover.

Genesis 1:2 it say the spirit of god move out the water

So when we talk about the moving of the spirit we are talk about god move

So god and the spirit are one

John 1:1 and the word was god and John 1:14 the word became flash so

So God and Jesus, spirit or all one

They can't be three different persons or entities

I have a similar problem .

This is the only Bible website that google lets me use.

My question is that listening to the teaching of the Bible it sounds so sad that if they didn't obey the Lord the punishment was always deaf why couldn't it have been a less harsh punishment than that because at the same time the Bible says that to repent and God will forgive you and that he is a forgiving God

I just made a typo with my clumsy fingers, but you didn't stop me, Satan (sic).

Dear Heavely FATHER , thank you for thy love for this sinful son of thine. Please walk with me this day in peace and love. A special prayer for Mariana my wife and her native Bulgaria. She is a great Christian! Amen and amen!! Thy son Luke. Amen and amen!!

The "Let Us", or the Godhead speaking together. I have all these underlined in my Bible.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

So I am confused through out creation he always referred to him saying and it be done . Except for when he said let US make men in our image. Does anyone have the understanding for that?

Hello Sisters and Brothers.

2 Peter 3:8. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

We see some try to use this verse to establish a time piece for God. BUT IT ACTUALLY MEANS NO TIME. The Emphasis is on Gods patience and longsuffering. Easily seen when you consider the surrounding verses.

2 Peter 3:3-9.

Let's entertain this reasoning for a second.

If you're going to use this measurement as time for God you have to also use it for verse 10.

2 Peter 3:10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; ...

That DAY would have to measure a thousand years also!!

And how does that "thousand years day come as a thief in the night? Sounds silly doesn't it? IT SHOULD.

#1 God is from EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING!! He stands on the outside of time ( Outside this world ). Looking in. perhaps another dimension altogether.

God gave us a way to chart time in

Genesis 1:14. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for DAYS, and YEARS:

The evening and the morning means a 24hr day. He communicate with us using this scale throughout the scripture.

70 years captivity in Babylon is just one of many examples.

One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day if you look at it carefully it's like saying 2 steps forward and 2 steps backwards.

YOU'RE RIGHT BACK WHERE YOU STARTED. NO TIME AT ALL!!

THE EMPHASIS IS ON GODS LONGSUFFERING.

GOD BLESS

My Lord JESUS said: "Satan was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:v.44

I must say that her contact in heaven in accord your belief, it is only and only WITH THE MONSTRUOS red Dragon, having 7 heads, and 10 horns, and a TERRIBLE tail, that is that old serpent called the Devil and Satan. But now, he will be cast down to the earth, and no doubt she will never need to do her travel no more.

Know that no LIE is (or comes from) of the Truth. 1John 2:v.18

JLb Be very careful concerning prophecy, that which is telling the future, if it does not happen verbatim as stated by the individual that should be a red flag. Also prophecy in a given specific situation will be specific to that situation, the prophets in the old testament were known because what they said happened exactly as God showed them no exception if you like I can give scripture references.

EARL BOWMAN

You are 100% correct when you say: "You (we, say I) are not created in God's image until you(we) are BORN AGAIN by SPIRIT. Before that you are in Satan's image (dust, flesh). EARL, what you said is PERFECT, YEAH, PERFECT. The ONLY ONE who was/is not born from Satan and in his image, THIS IS JESUS.

"The crooked serpent" (snake), in the expression or conception of the language it is a product of the earth: Genesis 1:v.24 - Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and CREEPING thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. The MYSTERY is how the Power worked in the process of production of this kind of living creatures. On the other hand, in the spiritual conceptions it is more easy to understand how they are produced among us.

You said: "and man were FORMED, not created". Yes, acccording Genesis 2:v.7 combined with Job 33:v.6. Gen.2:v.7 - 7 And the Lord God formed man of the DUST of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. That said, it seems be more easy to understand why GOD said to Satan (not to a snake): thou art CURSED above all cattle, and above every beast of the field (the field is the world); upon thy belly (womb) shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: This DUST of the earth-I mean the men- has been the serpent's food until today through the procreation in all generations, and the World of the Devil has gotten until the current time.

JESUS said: John 3:v.5-6: 5 ... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John 1:v.13 - 3 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Amen
