Discuss Romans 1 Page 6

Predestined read the life .

All scientists seek to explain FOUR QUESTIONS: Time, Force, Action, Matter (Even Steven Hawking)

I was reading in Genesis, the Holy Spirit stops me on verse 1. He said the 4 things

TIME: in the beginning__God set TIME ticking

FORCE: The Godhead created. (Father, The Word; John 1:1) and Holy Spirit

ACTION: and the Spirit of God MOVED over

MATTER: earth, waters, atoms

God purposed, Word spoke: Light Be, and there was Light. (Purpose Spoke Light)

Carbon dating proves earth is around 2-3 billion years. SATAN was around but he's a created being. He cannot create dinosaurs, cavemen or anything other than chaos. My personal theory is: Romans 1:19-20. God put the artifacts in earth for us to find; oil for our cars, coal to be warm, fresh water for us and salted water for creatures.

We have to pray for scientists to see the Book of Romans. It's an occupation, as is archaeology, bio science, medicine. We are without excuse if we refuse to acknowledge The Godhead.

They're going to flip out when they get to heaven and see it's lighted up by the Glory of Jesus (The Son) and not a sun.

Jesus wants us to know this stuff because THE HOLY SPIRIT IS OUR TEACHER. All we have to do is ask Him. It's not a secret.

angels do not marry. We will be as the angels in heaven, in that we will not marry or procreate. Survivors of the entire Tribulation who have received Jesus as savior__and managed to survive alive without being marked or murdered by Antichrist will be taken to heaven in human reproducing bodies for 1000 years. They'll have to resist satans deceptions when he gets a short parole to tempt the still human people; then Satan goes to the lake of fire forever. O happy days!

These present troubles are just temporary. Let's spread the Word to the Harvest and get as many in as we can. We're going to be living with The God that purposed all of this!

Read Mark 3:29-30. If an individual does this with the knowledge than that individual is eternally damned forever. I can not see how any person would not know that blaspheming against the Holy Spirit is wrong, since Yahweh has written His law upon the heart of every man.

Romans 2:14-16, "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."

God has revealed Himself to every man, so that every man is without excuse at His appearing. In the Book of Romans 1:18-23, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 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: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible

God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things."

God will reveal if an individual has blasphemed, a clear indication is when

God takes His Holy Spirit away from that person's heart, and that individual can no longer feel the very presence of God anymore, as a sign that individual is no longer walking with Him. God will never fill a human temple with His Holy Spirit ever again once the unpardonable sin happens.

Only God and that individual knows how far they have gone, a clear indication is when God takes His Holy Spirit away from that person's heart, and that individual can no longer feel the very presence of God anymore, as a sign that individual is no longer walking with Him. God will never fill a human temple with His Holy Spirit ever again once the unpardonable sin happens.

The Bible literally refers to God as Godhead, so the few who are uncomfortable with that term can simply use the word Godhead instead. There's a mountain of scriptures showing the dynamic and divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. We're here to defend Jesus Christ and anyone trying to discredit or smear His divinity. We should all pray for wisdom, understanding and truth as we read the scriptures so that we are not mislead by the enemy and buy into things that merely fulfill our itching ears.

John. What you referenced from Acts chapter 15 & Acts 16:4-5 is true. But Paul went much further than those 'four decrees'. Have you not read Romans 1:18-32? ("wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness": God's wrath on ALL men (Jew & Gentile) - God gave them up unto vile affections including homosexuality - these all stand under the Judgement of God).

Again Paul states in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, speaking to a largely Gentile Church - the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God, the effeminate & homosexual included. But "such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." They had left their wickedness (repented) - now washed, sanctified & justified in the Eyes of God.

If the Scriptures stopped only at the Book of Acts, we might be inclined to believe you. But any immorality, as in any other sin, even not declared in the Decalogue or other Jewish Laws, is binding on all mankind - no man or woman is absolved of guilt of any type of sin.

Hello Melissa. There were only twelve disciples. After Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus & then later committed suicide, the eleven disciples came together to appoint another man to replace Judas. And this new (12th) disciple was called Matthias. You can read about it in Acts 1:15-26. These men were now known as apostles (i.e. after the death & resurrection of their Master) and Saul (also known as Paul) was later numbered with them as a servant & an apostle of Jesus Christ ( Romans 1:1).

Hi K. I understand that Paul's salutation (or, greetings) is found in Romans 1:1-7. What you're referencing ( Romans 15:14 to 16:27) includes Paul's personal messages & finally his benediction; the actual benediction being Romans 16:25-27).

Hi Wilfred. The one that immediately comes to mind is actually in Romans 1:24,25. Though, if you're thinking Isaiah, then possibly Isaiah 5:20 & also 2 Thessalonians 2:10,11; but these do not comply exactly to what you're seeking. Maybe others can find another verse.

Louis,

The word separated comes from the Greek word that means to be set apart. So Paul was set apart by God for God's purpose. That's what it means to be separated. Something else in Romans 1:1 is that Paul was not called "to be" an apostle. He was an apostle by calling. It literally reads a called apostle, not called to be an apostle, but a called apostle.

It tells us what kind of apostle he is. He's called by God. He's not appointed by man. It's not even his own choosing or ambition. But he's an apostle of Jesus Christ by calling. God separated him for a purpose just like He does all believers. Not all believers are separated and set apart to be an apostle, but every believer is called. Every believer is somebody who has responded to the calling. It is not something that we decided to do. We responded to His call.

We also have been separated. Every believer has a function in the body of Christ. We're not just saved by Jesus in order to go to heaven and have our sins forgiven, but we actually have a function. We participate in the body of Christ as we're transformed and changed, and as we serve our function in which Christ has separated us for.

Romans 1:1 "seperated onto the gosprl of God", what does this seperated mean?

Trinity, in Christian doctrine, the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead. The doctrine of the Trinity is considered to be one of the central Christian affirmations about God. ROMANS 1:20

Comment: Beloved, the word Trinity is not in the King James Bible.

Another religion penned that word. It defines as, THREE. Like Tres, in Spanish means three. Etc

Romans 1:20 clearly shows that Godhead is Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Three in One.

Ephesians 4:5

One Lord, one faith, one baptism

1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1 Corinthians 12:13

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into ONE Spirit.

Romans 1:20

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:

Colossians 2:9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

GENESIS 1:1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and DARKNESS was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God MOVED upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be LIGHT: and there was light. [Jesus is Light]

God started Time, for man

Genesis 1:1

God SPOKE, Genesis 1:3

God Made, Genesis 1:7

Romans 1:20

We need to put our faith in God NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE write in science websites. A mission to a planet will not explain creation. Dead planets have water beds; once having had water. But observations have proved no other planets have abundant water, visible, like Earth.

This is Gods Purpose. That we follow His Son, Jesus Christ in salvation with the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

All of the Beauty and Wonder of a self sustaining EARTH, should help us trust God and follow Jesus.

Mishael

Jesus Christ is the Godhead:

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

Romans 1:20 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:

Matthew 21:21-22,

GOD's WORD says seek & you shall find, knock & it shall be opened, Matthew 7:7, Luke 11:9, Luke 1:37, Luke 18:27, Mark 10:27,

Ask & you shall receive, say with your mouth believe with your heart & it will happen. Mark 9:23, John 16:23,24, John 14:13,14, John 15:16,

Mark 11:22-26,

That doesn't just apply to believers GOD even gives people over Romans 1:18-32,

Matthew 17:20, Hebrews 11:6,

Mark 14:36,

James 4:3,

James 4,

Please stay within scripture, write it upon your heart. Proverbs 7:1-3, Deuteronomy 11:18, Proverbs 3:3,

Mark 7:9, Mark 7:13, Colossians 2:8,

Hopefully these are helpful & insightful

Chris,

Thanks for adding that! Later after I posted the answer. I remembered I didn't include the amazing gift of Salvation, that we ourselves could not accomplish with out Christ JESUS!

Okou Agnatius,

I answered the question as I would have, to someone who had already received the gift of Salvation through believing in Christ. Chris was right to add that! It does cover that issue some in: 1Peter 1, but in my spirit, I did feel afterward that I had not given you the best most complete answer & it bothered me as I was trying to rest.

Please also see: John 3:15-16, Revelation 19:1, Acts 4:12, Romans 1:16, Romans 10:10, 1Thessalonians 5:8-24, Hebrews 2, Hebrews 5:9,

John 14:6

Forgive me, I ask

Hi Micki. The word 'apostle' is from the Greek, 'apostolos', which means, 'messenger, or one sent out on a mission'. God's servants today may not be apostles, in the same sense as those twelve disciples sent out by Jesus Christ to make known this Good News of Salvation, but they do fulfil that same work as the Gospel is carried out to those whose lives are without hope & living in darkness. Paul was called to be an apostle ( Romans 1:1), but often he had to go to great pains to prove his apostleship, as he was not counted among the twelve (as in 2 Corinthians chapters 10 & 11).

Circular arguments on this topic remind me of an Abbott and Costello "who's on first" skit. In case anyone isn't aware, here are some scriptures describing one God with three components: father, son, and holy spirit. We likely will never 100% comprehend God nor should we expect to, but the fact is the Bible describes God as a triune Godhead, uses plural terms, says the three are "one", and I will trust God's Word over man's word. Christians will keep sharing the truth of the scriptures everytime someone tries to challenge God's word.

Fred:

Acts 13:22 .....I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine on heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

Acts 13:23 Of this man's (David's) SEED hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a saviour, Jesus:

Romans 1:3 Concerning his son Jesus Christ, which was made of the SEED of David ....

2 Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the SEED of David....

God Bless You

Luke 9:28-36. Mount of Transfiguration

Jesus was talking to Moses and Elijah

Peter and John saw this taking place and were thinking they should build churches; instead of just "being in the moment."

Then Father God tells them, this is my beloved Son__Hear Him!

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.

I do not want to offend you, but the word "Trinity". It is a word that the Catholic Church uses. The word used in the Bible approved by most all Churches is Godhead.

The word Triune simply means three.

When Chris returns, if you see him in here ask him about the Council of Churches; history,

I think you'll see what I mean if you look up those scriptures.

Blessings, Mishael

Romans 1:18-32, Jeremiah 19:5, Romans 11:33-34, Romans 8:7, please read all of Romans 8,

Ephesians 4:14-32, 1Corinthians 2, Psalms 139, Colossians 3:12-17, Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 2:3,

2Timothy 1:7,

* Romans 12:1-2, Romans 12, Psalms 1:1

Hopefully these are helpful

Beautifully put. I believe some misunderstand, the "Coming of The LORD, Return of The LORD, THE Day of The LORD " as I did also, as dearly loved fellowship of Believers would pray for it. Maybe by Philippians 3:20, eagerly awaiting, & Colossians 4:2, That misinterpreted.

Then one day I read: Amos 5:18-24,

People long for Mercy, Justice, correct judgement that may be the root of the plea, prayer.

However Jesus instruction was pray "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven " Matthew 6:9-13,

Daniel 7:27, Psalms 145:13, John 17, note John 17:15-16, Luke 17:20-21,

Proverbs 21:3, Isaiah 56:1, Psalms 82:3, Isaiah 59:4, (context Isaiah 59), Jeremiah 22:15, * Isaiah 58,

2Samuel 8:15, 1Kings 10:9, Ezekiel 45:9, Micah 6:8,

We even as 1 person can bring justice, mercy, truth, hope, deliverance, through faith, endurance, prayer, action & being a living example

Romans 1:17, James 2, Hebrews 11, 2Corinthians 5:7, Mark 11:22-26,

We are called to bring Justice, Judgement, Mercy.

Ecclesiastes 5:8, Jeremiah 23:5, Matthew 24:3-51, Mark 13:5-37, Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 6,

Psalms 102:17, * James 5,

Hopefully these are helpful, please share these scriptures with those whom you feel led as a tool

Archaeology, carbon dating show us earth is older than 6000 years. Scripture too. Use the Search Box and type: Conies. When earth was hit with an asteroid, scientists say little Coney type creatures were underground and survived. It's interesting.

Astronomers today have seen LAKE BEDS on every planet. All are dry lake beds except earth; we have abundant fresh water for people and creatures.

Some scriptures say God turned the world upside down. You need study Reference Bibles, to track connecting references to other scriptures of a same or like, event.

What would kill all living creatures (like dinosaurs all at the same time?

Where did preHISTORIC people remains come from?

I mean no offense when I say: what is wrong with us starting at Genesis 1:1. Flip to Romans 1:18-25

For Genesis students, the first thing God created is TIME. It's well hidden, but original Hebrew said: In Beginning

Writers, inserted THE, so our English minds could follow the thought.

God said, LIGHT BE.

Rather than debate it, fight and confuse others with proper english_observe what God is saying and doing. He wants us to know.

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

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

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

FOUR THINGS scientists seek to explain:

TIME, FORCE, ACTION, MATTER

They've never proved TIME. Who told me? The Holy Spirit. I went through a lot of Hebrew books till I found one that said: in beginning. That's Word enough for me. If the Holy Spirit says it; it's truth. He was there.

I truly hope this will free us, to move along to all of the books of the Bible. We're are in the events Christ spoke of In Matthew 24 and Luke 21; 2 Peter 3; Revelation.

Time and this Bible is totally about JESUS CHRIST. It's his story. We will be judged according to how we've lifted Him up and told others His Story.

The word Trinity came through the Catholic religion. Triune means three.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit are called THE GODHEAD in scripture; in the approved KING JAMES BIBLE.

There are many, many scriptures showing the Godhead working together; and speaking to each other.

Paul clears it up in ROMANS 1:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath SHOWED IT unto them.

20 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

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Genesis 2:2

2And on the seventh day God ended his WORK which he had made and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from ALL HIS WORK which God CREATED AND MADE.

7And 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.

8And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the MAN whom he had formed.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

[Science (archaeology, biology, etc proves that the earth and the solar system are billions of years old. Dinosaurs lived, died, left oil behind.]

*God is Time. Genesis 1:1

Jesus is Light. Genesis 1:3, John 9:5

Holy Spirit is Action. Genesis 1:2

This is the Godhead. Romans 1:20

Astronomers say all the planets once had water because they see the empty lake beds. How is it that only 1 planet has abundant visible water? land and vegetation? What a mighty God we serve. Amen.

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

God started Time, for man

Genesis 1:1

God SPOKE, Genesis 1:3

God MADE, Genesis 1:7

Romans 1:20

Romans 1:

26 For this cause God GAVE THEM UP unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Is is in my opinion (no one else's) that social media can be a tool to tempt Christian's to behave NOT like Christ the Lord. Jesus said they'd (Unbelievers)__know us by the LOVE WE HAVE FOR THE BRETHREN. (Men and women believers)

Malachi 3:6

For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

John 8:47

He that is of God heareth God's words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.

Romans 1:28

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

God does not change His mind about His Word; Jesus or the Bible.

People/priests however do change Gods word and are subject to what is written at the end of Revelation 22. They do it to themselves and hurt others by saying their decisions are right.

By knowing the Bible we can avoid pitfalls to our faith in God. If your church is political and makes changes politically, you have a responsibility to separate yourself from that church; seek one teaching the WHOLE BIBLE and not omitting or adding to "the Bible".

There is no "wiggle" room on these matters. Jesus said, FOLLOW ME. You bear the responsibility to change your Church Affiliation. Period.

Jesus is returning soon and there isn't another 100 years to flesh out the problems of religious political issues. They just want your financial support. Find a real Bible teaching Church. Not those that mix in philosophy, how to be happy happy in your life without change; marriage counselors, and subjects that are not scripturally based.

Super Churches are not able to give one on one, encouragement to their parishioners.

Bottom line: Follow Jesus. We are HIS DISCIPLES on this earth.

I think you're looking for. 2Timothy 3, whole Chapter, but possibly 2Timothy 3:13, Titus 1:15,16, Romans 1:18-25, Isaiah 5:22, Proverbs 17:13, Matthew 12:35,

Hopefully these are helpful

I agree with Chris on Hebrews 6:4-9. Those in view here who turn away from Christ are those unregenerate who ultimately reject the word of God after having been enlightened by the Holy Spirit. These types of rebels are mentioned in Romans 1:18-20.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 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:

Here are a few for you to consider, Dorothea:

Leviticus 19:16; Psalm 15:2,3; Psalm 101:5; Proverbs 6:16-19; Proverbs 11:13; Proverbs 16:27,28; Proverbs 17:9; Proverbs 18:8; Proverbs 20:19; Proverbs 26:20; Romans 1:28-30; 2 Corinthians 12:20; 1 Timothy 5:11-13; Titus 2:3.
