    God's eternal purpose

    Jesus the Messiah/Christ God's only begotten Son is the purpose, I do not know if I am reading your question correctly, may you and others have more or different understandings.

    1 Corinthians 2:16 tells us we have the mind of Christ, but no one can know the mind of God. 2 Peter 3:18 tells us to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus. All began with Jesus; Jesus is the beginning of God's plan. Isaiah 45:18 Isaiah 46:8-10 God and there is none like Him, He declared the end from the beginning His counsel (His purpose and plan by His will) shall stand and God will do all His pleasure, Psalms 33:11.

    God is not in our time the end of His plan is as the beginning God's plan was completed when He made it, we have the Bible, and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit His plan is made known to us as our time comes to be, as in Ephesians 1:10-12 to be the praise and glory to God.

    God declared from the very beginnings of history, Acts 17:24-26 there is but one human race, we all are of the same blood, and in Jesus Christ we become brothers and sisters. In God's plan, it is finished, nothing will change. In God, it is finished already to Him who is from everlasting to everlasting, Psalms 90:2 and how He can "calleth those things which be not as though they were." Romans 4:17-18.

    Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

    Ephesians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

    God bless,

    Hi GiGi,

    Part 1 Trinity discussion

    To start; I used to have a similar understanding of the Trinity doctrine but over time it has changed, and I am still studying it. I do not consider myself part of any group or denomination other than a believer and follower of Jesus. I feel we should inspire each other to study in prayer for the truth and to be open to the Holy Spirit to unveil the truth as we know nothing.

    With me, it started with two verses, 2 Corinthians 11:3-4, I contemplated these verses for a long time, it was like they stuck in my mind unanswered. In my study of the Trinity, I found out how it developed and how many deaths it caused even after the Reformation, and the questions I asked in Churches, many could not explain it and said it is a mystery that man cannot comprehend.

    Is God and has He always been one solitary person?

    Deut. 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD, Mark 12:29 and as said in 1 Cor. 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. My understanding is God the Father is eternal He has always been and will always be Psalms 90:2. God is Spirit, if a person means He has a will, emotions, the ability to speak, rationalize, self-awareness, to have a relationship with His creation, love, hate, etc. yes one person.

    Before creation was, He always and only alone, without anyone to love?

    What was before creation in Scripture we have no writings or information, Scripture tells us the hosts of heaven were before the creation of the earth and the galaxies, Job 38:4-7. How long before the physical world and universe we see we do not know. God's plan He declared the end from the beginning, Isaiah 46:9-10. I may be wrong, but God has never been alone inside Himself, time nor space cannot contain who He is, the beginning of His plan was Jesus.

    Do you believe that Satan works under the control of Christ? or

    Does Satan have power of himself.

    If you believe Satan is an instrument in God's hand, then why would you believe that Satan at times doesn't lie.

    Satan is in every man, men lie sometimes, and other times they tell the truth; whichever, God through Satan, has predestinate.

    Man will not believe that all his words were spoken before the foundation.

    Psalms 90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath, we spend our years as a TALE being TOLD.

    Quite worrying about you might be deceived, because every man starts out that way, ( Revelation 12:9) and believed what God says.

    Ephesians 1:4 According as HE hath CHOSEN us IN HIM before the foundation of the world .....

    Hebrews 4:3 .... the WORKS were FINISHED from the foundation of the world ....

    God has appointed some to believe and some not to believe; IN THIS AGE.

    God is calling you, otherwise, you would not, have COME.

    It's HIS WORKS, you have no say, it's his choice of when and how much you believe.

    Every man has a purpose in God's scheme of salvation and coming to truth, and whether you like it or not, you WILL NOT vary outside his purpose for you.

    Only ONE person was Chosen to be John the Baptist, all thought there are many that have the same spirit as John crying out in the wilderness to repent of their sin of unbelief.

    This holds true for Judas, he say CHOSEN, and he did what he was chosen for.

    This holds true for Satan, he is doing what he was chosen for.

    God said when Christ has put ALL THINGS under his FEET, God WILL BE ALL in ALL.

    Christ will not fail in what he was SENT TO DO.

    God said he would set brother against brother, he has a purpose for this, all though we can't yet see it.

    Brother S Spencer and I are both in God's plan, even though we seem to be brother against brother.

    All things work TOGETHER for the good of those that LOVE the LORD.

    God Bless YOU!

    Jennifer:

    The word of God is like a great treasure hunt, one scripture is the key to another scripture, and so on. The scriptures put together are the KEYS TO THE KINGDOM.

    Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, HERE A LITTLE, and THERE A LITTLE:

    BUT NOTICE; since the spirit of Christ wrote the words, the spirit of Christ must teach your what the words mean.

    Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to his people.

    Most of God's words are HIDDEN in parables and dark sayings.

    Psalms 78:2 I (the spirit of Christ) will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

    Revelation 19:10 ...for the testimony (words) of Jesus IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.

    For your questions, has words been twisted by man's carnal mind, YES.

    Psalms 56:5 Every day they wrest (twist) my words ........

    Are God's words being fulfilled? YES

    Psalms 90:9 ...we spend our years as a tale that is told.

    Hebrews 4:3 ... the works (WORDS) WERE FINISHED from the foundation of the world.

    Isaiah 55:11 So shall my words be that goeth forth out of my mouth, they shall not return unto me void, but it MY WORD shall accomplish that which I PLEASE, and IT (the WORD) shall prosper in the thing where unto I sent IT (the WORD)

    The four winds of prophecy; a symbol, of the spirit of Christ.

    John 3:8 the wind bloweth where it listeth (where God CAUSES it to blow), and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whether it goeth (it's the WORK of God): so is every one that is BORN OF THE SPIRIT.

    Daniel 7:2 ....the four winds of heaven strove upon the great SEA (water)( Revelation 17:15) ....

    Do I believe in miracles and wonders? YES, what greater miracle than creation:

    Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, THEY ARE CREATED, ( 2 Corinthians 5:17) thou renewest the face of the earth.

    The mark of the beast requires a post of its own, I will send a second post.

    God Bless YOU!

    Giannis:

    I agree with ever word you spoke in your comment.

    I have a question, and would like your to meditate on that question?

    All the scriptures you quoted about being born again now; instead of later, at the death of this body, were written 1900 years ago.

    You were not born as of yet but your were already born again.

    God always speaks as if it has already happen, in his eyes the works are finished.

    Psalms 90:9 .....we spend our years as a tale that is (already) told.

    Hebrews 4:3 ..... the works were finished from the foundations of the world.

    1 Timothy 4:10 ....who is the saviour of ALL MEN, specially those that BELIEVE.

    God Bless You!

    There are multiple reasons for delay & no from GOD.

    James 4, not GOD's perfect plan, timing = look at Abraham he was promised a son, even past natural ability Genesis 12:4,6,7, Abram 75 yrs old, Genesis 17:1-8, Abraham also called Abram 90 yrs old, Sarah Genesis 18:10,11, Genesis 21:1-3, was the delay for example of faith Hebrews 11, was it for the linage of Salvation timing? Matthew 1:17, ?

    1John 3:22, John 16:23, Psalms 37, Luke 11, Matthew 6, Matthew 7, Matthew 7:7, Matthew 21:22, Luke 18,

    I fasted, prayed, begged, cried out & received what I asked many times & several of those caused me years of deep pain, regret, sadness etc. Trust GOD ALMIGHTY sometimes it's protection, not seeing & knowing everything & everyone attached to the things we ask. Luke 8:10-18,

    Luke 8:15, Revelation 3:10,

    That's 1 way to look at it. Day definition as span of time. Psalms 90:4, 2Peter 3:8,

    Genesis 3, Also a Spiritual death, that happened immediately, the results of which were immediate fear, instead of trust to their creator. Feeling naked before GOD, & man etc. Matthew 8:22, Luke 9:60, Romans 5:12-21,

    Eternal life, reference too Psalms 82,

    Word,G3056; W in Word is capital showing omnipototentency of GOD=Gr. logos

    The divine purpose in the gospel of John is to present the LORD JESUS as GOD. This is the one great feature and difference from this gospel and the others. John's writings always point to the deity of Yeshua. Johns presentation of the LORD as having the divine attribute of omniscience, not to say the other gospels does not point to this but the Gospel of John it is much more frequent. WORD (Gr.Logos) portrayed by John as GOD - a Spirit of infinity, Eternal, Perfect, Almighty, Omnipotent. John was the disciple that Jesus loved and wrote John, 3 epistles and also Rev. -GOD giving him much insight to 1st age and the end. John always trying to get people to understand the beginning for if you don't understand what happen in the beginning all the way back in 1st earth age, you cant understand whats happening in this age. The time Satan fell from grace and convinced 1/3 of GODS created souls to fallow him. The 3 epistles of John indicate the writing was from a earlier time then gospel of John

    Here and :2 supply (of the aions=ages) for the Logos then "was" and the aions were prepared by HIM (Hebrew. 1:2, 11:3

    acts 11:15) supply (of our ministry) 2:4; In Phillipians 4:15 supply the proclamation of the gospel. was here- implying already pre-existed. Creation not mentioned until :3

    Word had no beginning John 1:3, 17:5, 1 John 1:1, Ephesians 1:4, Proverbs 8:23, Psalms 90:2, John 8:58. not the same was as in :14

    the Word Gr. Logos. As the spoken Word reveals the invisible thought, as the living Word reveals the invisible GOD. John 1:18

    the (artical) designates "the Word" as the subject. "the Word"

  • Chris - In Reply on Psalms 90 - 2 years ago
    Hello Gwynette. There are examples in the Bible of those who suicided. One is in 1 Samuel 31:4, when King Saul wanted his armour-bearer to kill him as he was wounded in the battle. He refused, so Saul "fell upon his own sword" & his armour-bearer seeing this & the implications that would have upon him, also did likewise. There is also Samson ( Judges 16:26-30) who with his great strength from the Lord, pulled down the pillars of the building that he was prisoner in, thus killing himself & many Philistines that were gathered there. And we know about Judas Iscariot as well ( Matthew 27:3-5) who hanged himself after he realized his sin in betraying Jesus.

    So even though we have instances of suicide, I don't believe the Bible ever talks specifically about it as being sin. Why some believe that suicide is sin, is because by definition, it is self-murder & murder in any form is sin. I know that one who contemplates suicide does so under very trying mental, emotional & physical conditions - a good friend of mine having taken his own life because of severe end-stage multiple sclerosis. I tried my best to encourage him & give him hope, but his continual body pain & loss of movement was too much & made existence meaningless for him. Every avenue should be resorted to so that such a desperate person may receive help & counsel & most cities have a Lifeline phone number to assist.

  • Cissi - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 2 years ago
    Hi Roy, Before the flood the diet was only fruit of the vine and herbs of the field. After the flood animal meat was allowed, but only clean animals, as the unclean animals feed off other animals (alive or dead) and can cause us to get diseases as a result. They lived hundreds of years before the flood and the Bible tells us that we are given up to 80 years for a life span (anything over is a plus, right?) At different stages of history that has been shorter or longer due to famines, disease, and war, but the Bible clearly states in Psalms 90:10 how long a lifespan for man. A Hebrew year was 360 days. Hope this helps, Cissi

  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 90 - 2 years ago
    Therefore; at the time of the next major conflict that could start the last generation; but that could be a 40 year generation as well.
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 90 - 2 years ago
    Verse 10 of this Psalm certainly gives us pause to think of an average lifespan; as the last years are indeed a struggle. If this refers to the last generation; we need to consider that 1948 may not have been the correct beginning for that day.

    We notice where Christ says"..behold the fig trees and ALL the trees.." ( Luke 21:29) This would perhaps indicate economic prosperity for the surrounding nations which the Gulf states are already seeing ahead of them with agreements with Israel. It would seem for Israel to be attacked when they live securely and with unwalled villages in the Ezekiel 38 war; first the events of Psalm 83 would expand Israel's borders and eliminate the constant conflicts with the Palestinians and other nearby surrounding countries. Then; it would be likely the Daniel 27 covenant would have a league with countries such as Iran; Turkey; Syria and perhaps others in N. Africa and make it seem that Israel's issues are over. Just another perspective here. In any event; this psalm tells us that we are to "number our days." (v.12). Life is as a fleeting shadow; there is truly little time before night comes; and no man can work ( John 9:4). The millennium seems a clear concept as well here from v. 4; with the last day of rest for the whole world bringing the world in a way back to the way it was on the last day of the Creation; a sort of rest for the whole creation that has been travailing to this point.( Romans 8:22 etal).

  • Chris - In Reply on Psalms 90 - 3 years ago
    Hello T. Harjo. I'm unsure to what extent you want to study (or, share from) Psalm 90, but I can give you an outline of the Psalm that you can develop on.

    It is the oldest Psalm in the Psalter, accredited to Moses. It can be divided as follows:

    Verses 1,2: the eternality of God.

    Verses 3-6: the fraility of man.

    Verses 7,8: the sinfulness of man.

    Verses 9-12: the shortness of life.

    Verses 13-17: Moses' prayer for God's Grace upon His people. When we receive His Grace, life will be joyous, His Work in us & for us will be appreciated when seen from His Perspective, & His Blessing will be upon our labours & we will be used of Him.

    Greetings in Christ JESUS

    OK, only for your knowledge, and for all readers, from the moment of starting of restoration or restitution of all things by JESUS , according it is reevealed in Acts 3:v.18 to 26, there passed around 2.160.000 days of 24 hours day or around 6.000 years or 6 Days according the Word - the Word is GOD.

    Psalms 90:v.1 to 4 and 12

    Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

    2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

    3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

    4 For a THOUSAND YEARS in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. (evening and morning)

    12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

    Has it been 2 hours yet? Greetings!

    "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" Psalms 90:2 This verse shows us that God has no beginning nor ending.

    The fact that souls continually reach out to God with a desire to be in harmony with its maker is also a wonder. Psalms 42:1-2 says "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? There seems to be in mankind an awareness of a greater power than is found in humanity or even our very selves. The soul must be set free in this awareness by the knowledge of the True God or it may find itself lost in idolatry.

    Exodus 3:4 is where Moses wanted to know the name of God and God answered him saying, "I Am That I Am". God's existence is in Himself.

    For our meditation.

    If we were to buy into some erroneous teachings regarding the time of the end we might easily be convinced that Jesus was not coming for his Church until certain scheduled events had occurred, thus ignoring the explicit admonition of Jesus to his disciples:

    Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. ( Matthew 24:42-44)
  • Darren Croft - In Reply on Psalms 90:10 - 3 years ago
    Charlotte Ann,

    The rapture is at the end, at the 7th trumpet, and for the very few who survived the chaos. We haven't been hit with the 6th trumpet yet ( Isaiah 13, Isaiah 47, Rev 18), the day of the Lord, the abomination of desolation set in America, or the invasion and captivity of Israel. You'll have to make it through anti-christ's 42 month rule before any intervention occurs. Everything Biblical has a specific order and time-line to be fulfilled.

    Happy birthday!!!
