Glenn The greatest challenge in the field of Biblical knowledge and research will be getting to what was oridinally written and mean't. You will find equally intelligent theologians and scholars and ministers believing different things about the same subject matter. This is the source of denominations. I've observed it for years and its very educational.
Exactly,.. translations are not always right, although the men in 1611 tried to break down the Hebrew , Greek , an almanacs,.. you must get a Dr Strongs concordance, or a companion Bible,.. like the word Easter ? In acts ,.. the word is actually, Pasco ,.. meaning passova,.. there is no such thing as Easter ,..
If you have questions about the unicorn, the latin vulgate version the term is "rinocercos" coming from the hebrew "ra'am". A male rhino is called a bull. Things that were common knowledge 400 years ago are not today. Does anyone here know how to thresh wheat? language evolves and Satan uses that to obscure truth. If you had never seen a rhino before whay would you describe it as? And yes the african rhnio has two horns but the indian rhino had one. It was hunted to extinction like the dodo bird. If Satan can raise a little doubt by changing the meaning of a single word how many people you think have dismissed the bible as supernatural folklore because of word play and lack of understanding? Like the game telephone. You have to have a sharp memory and study to pass down oral tradition or write it down.

Greetings in Jesus' name, Chris.
Please forgive me not replying sooner, but I didn't see you had addressed your message to me due to the abbreviation.
A.
So concerning Isaiah 28:11-12. If this is not prophesying of the Holy Ghost as you claim; then why does Paul quote it in 1st Corinthians when speaking about the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues?
1 Corinthians 14:21-22
21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
Jesus himself said that those who believe will speak in other tongues: Mark 16:17
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
B.
As per your claim that the apostles believed in a "trinity" of gods, that is heresy. Every Jew (including Jesus) was taught from an early age on that there is only one God in reciting the Shema ( Deut. 6:4) Jesus quoted it in Mark 12:29:
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The LORD our God is one LORD:
Paul (also raised as a devout Jew under Gamaliel) also understood this:
1 Timothy 2:5
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1 God + 1 man (in whom God dwelt - 2 Cor 5:19) does not = 3 "gods".
Research the pagan trinity of babylon (Nimrod, Semiramis & Tammuz) and how Constantine united pagans and "christians" @ the same time he was slaughtering Christians because they were just growing stronger the more he had them killed.
Numbers 23:19
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
God did not become a man. God is a Spirit ( John 4:24).
"Unicorn in the Hebrew means-reym-[a wild bull, to rise , be lifted up] and Candlestick means- menowrah-[chandelier, to shine, to glisten, lamp, candle, light] So I fail to see how unicorn is incorrect and what ever do you mean by supernaturally embedded. If the Bible was translated incorrectly then we are all doomed. This should be a lesson to us all to study the word correctly. Words in the Bible don't always mean what we think."

The use of the word unicorn is incorrect. And this isn't the only location in Scripture where a unicorn has been supernaturally embedded in Scripture in the King James version. Numbers 24:8, Job 39:9-10, Psalms 29:6, Psalms 92:10. Another example would be in the book of Revelation chapter 1. The word candlestick has replaced lampstand in 4 locations. Revelation 1:12-13 and twice again in verse 20.
"Unicorn" occurs 6 times in 6 verses in the KJV, including 6 exact phrases shown first.
Num 23:22
God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Num 24:8
God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
Box Job 39:9
Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
Job 39:10
Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
Psa 29:6
He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
Psa 92:10
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
This verse is also my favorite too.A very good friend,who incidentally gave me my first Bible.I have found down through the years, he has been extremely faithfull.
The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).
The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting, repentings) is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.
It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).
For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).
You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), as mankind follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).
It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1), and only then will you be able to overcome the spirit of this world ( 1 John 5:4; Rev. 3:21) and learn what 'True Repentance' means, and how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9). It should also be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).
LUKE 15:10. LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH.
The world turned the Unicorn into a horse like myth, but that is not what it means.
The Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros UNICORNis), is also called the great Indian rhinoceros it has only one horn hence UNI meaning one. The African Rhino has 2 horns.
GOD is not a man that He should lie. that whole shows that what He said He will do He does is only in our hands to abide in Him and His words in us to get that.
The Lord is my protector now and forever our part as Christians look upon the Lord always full commitment and dedication and not living compromised lives. JN 8:51 I tell you the truth ,if anyone keeps my word he will never see death. Numbers 23:19 God is not a man that he should lie,nor a son of man that he should change his mind.Does he speak and not act? Does he promise and not fulfill.
One of the questions for this chapter was how many times did Balaam bless Isreal. The answer that comes up is 4, but in chapter 24, vs10 it says he blessed them these three times. Please check on this and make the necessary correction for the answer.
I am proud to read this chapter because I made a chart based on numbers 23:19.
I read this everyday and whenever I look at the chart. God is not a man , that He
should lie, neither the Son of Man that He should repent: hath He said , and shall
He not do it? Or hath He spoken and shall He not make it good? This "blesses" my
heart to know that my source is God and not man.
Anonymous; in addition to Psalm 91, there are other Scriptures you should know. Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." Numbers 23:23 "Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob.." Fear not!
"How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations." Israel wears the garments of her widowhood among the Nations, and her enemies mark her sins against the LORD; but God will save Israel before all!
We must keep remembering that "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" We must keep trusting God and believing that if we stay at the centre of His will, He will do what He says He will do in our life.
Note George: God creates all men / women in His likeness (since the fall). We are to be conformed / remade into His image = Christ Jesus. Other than the "Son of man," Jesus, ( John 1:1-3),God IS NOT a man. See: Numbers 23:19: God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Numbers 23:19 prevents an heart attack in me every time the evil one hurls his spear of the fear of death at me, for God has promised me long life and welbeing in Ephessians 6:1-3.
Mabodi Thanyanie Chris on Numbers 23:23 - 9 years ago
whatever God has blessed its blessed indeed, satan and his agents can try to curse it but they won 't succeed. they will end up knowing that Jehovah is God and He is above everything.
According to what i picked from Numbers 23:23, there is nothing that Satan or evil can do against a man of God and his God fearing nation. in other words, Satan is and will forever remain powerless before God and his beloved children
"For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. " Jn 3:17 see also vss. 18-21 The will of God and His only begotten Son Jesus is to bless and not to curse.. Persistence in the lack of both faith and obedience is to bring a curse upon ourselves. It is as though God has held out two hands before us and we chose which we will ultimately receive. Our Savior in one moment can become our Judge in the next. God still turns the cursing of man against us into blessing if we remain faithful. Revelation 2:10
The commandment to blessed stated in books of number 6: 23-26, God command Aaron to bless the children of Israel, God want he children to be blessed , isa 44:26 God him self conform the word of his servant, he also delight in prosperity of his children. This commandment is from heaven that children of God must be blessed. He declared in book of Genesis 1:28, Genesis 9:7. We must learn to pronounce blessings upon our children, business, carriage, every thing we possessed. The word of our mouth are so powerful, Job 22:28, when we decree a thing, it will surely come to pass. We are command to bless all ways and not to curse, let us lean on how speak healing word, breakthroughs word, word of restoration, word of encouragement to family members, neighbors, friends etc, jer 5:14, when you speak the word of God this word become power and fire and work wonder. We must continue to bless and God will continue to confirm it. The blessed in Gen 24:60... our month must be a source of life and death.... the spirit of blessings most possessed our lips.
