God here is referring to the day of judgment. The body can not live without the soul, but the soul can live without the body. Jesus said "do not fear them that can kill the body, but fear He who can kill both body and soul " I'm paraphrasing.
Thanks for responding but I think, actually I'm sure, the sin in the garden of Eden by Adam and Eve did not separate them from God, that will happen on the last day, but what really happened is a broken relationship between us and our God the one and only creater. Separation from God will be one time and one time only which is eternal death. Do you realize it's only 2 people God created? I'll wait for your response, God Bless
Let me answer my question. The reason Adam did not die that same day is, as mentioned in 2 PETER 3:8, a day to God is like a thousand years. So, if Adam lived to 930 years, Adam was 70 years short of a full day. This is why man's life is between 70 and 120 years which is indicated by the death of 2 outstanding men in the Bible; namely King David and Moses. Incidentally, we match up with Adam, but guess who match up with Methuselah who lived to 969 years? I'll wait for your answer.
Also brother Charles (I hope you don't mind me calling you brother and really, we are), the 8 souls that were in the Ark of Noah are the 7 spirits of God plus the spirit of the person. The Ark represents a coffin. The lifting of the ark by the flood waters symbolizes the dead in Christ rising to meet Him in the sky. Thanks for responding.
Jesus said "ye must be born again " is referring to the comforter or the Holy Spirit which one has to have to enter the kingdom of God. Not the will of man but by the will of God. Can you recall the raven Noah first sent out after the flood? Well, that raven represents the spirit of man which did not leave the Ark; instead it went back and forth. Then Noah sent out a dove which represents the Holy Spirit which is the born again spirit of God. So both spirits are alive when a saved person enters the grave. If a person enters the grave without the Holy Spirit, then on judgement day, that soul will be eternally destroyed.
My question is, how come Adam lived to 930 years when God told him he will die the day he eat of the tree? Please don't say Adam died spiritually because we should know the spirit don't die.
The first victory was because Gideon heard from God . It was God's time to conquer for His children. Our victories are won in the spirit realm primarily before the physical experience. See verse 13 The Medianite dreams of defeat before getting to the battle.
Our God is a great God, He deliver his own from their enemy. Despite the fact that Gideon's faith was shaken at the beginning the good Lord proves himself that he is the Lord.
When we surrender our will to his will he will surely take us out of our trouble.
The fearful cannot fight with or for God, stop being fearful. when God's grace is made available, take advantage, do not be like the two Midianite men who got the full meaning of the dream but couldn't respond appropriately.
fear is the foremost factor by which Christians disqualify themselves from God's service. you must despise God's enemies not fear them. shame upon the two midianite men who had a chance to escape God's wrath but never took the grace of God seriously, reminds me of Rahab the whore who took God's grace seriously and saved her self and her family.
If we truly learn to fully trust God in His word we will be able to do amazing things with Him as our guide.
In all we do lets remember it's for God to be glorified and magnified.
Many are called but the chosen are few! Gideon; the least of his father's house was chosen by GOD because GOD uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and while the wise depends on their own intellect, GOD chooses and utilizes those who knows that without GOD nothing is possible. Gidon knew his abilities weren't sufficient so Gideon could only give honor, glory, and praise to GOD.
God wanted them to know it was Him who fights their battels for them , God did not want them thinking they could make it without Him and giving themselves glory instead of God.
Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Matthew 14 - 10 years ago
Part 1 of 2: Hello I. Prince: Watches of night: The Jews, like the Greeks and Romans, divided the night into military watches instead of hours, each watch representing the period for which sentinels or pickets remained on duty. The proper Jewish reckoning recognized only three such watches, entitled the first or "beginning of the watches, " Lamentations 2: 19 the middle watch, Judges 7: 9 and the morning watch. Exodus 14: 24 1 Samuel 11: 11 These would last respectively from sunset to 10 P.M. from 10 P.M. to 2 A.M. and from 2 A.M. to sunrise. After the establishment of the Roman supremacy, the number of watches was increased to four, which were described either according to their numerical order, as in the case of the "fourth watch, " Matthew 13: 25 or by the terms "even, " "midnight, " "cock-crowing " and "morning. " Mark 13: 35. These terminated respectively at 9 P.M., midnight, 3 A.M. and 6 A.M. Smith Dictionary .
