Genesis Chapter 1 Discussion Page 31

Then you do not believe what God proclaims Skip, watch Kent Hovind's creation series #1 (there are 7, all outstanding!) If you have not watched this guy your missing some great stuff. On youtube. The Bible says "IN THE BEGINNING", period. I promise im not trying to be ugly but the fact is we(pretty much all of us) have been brainwashed since kindergarten because of dinosaurs (Kents #3 video) and cavemen and not being able to rationalize the time frame because the first book they handed us in school was something like "learn about dinosaurs" - that lived 450 billion years ago! Dinosaurs are all in the Bible, but the word dinosaur was not created till the 1800's, the word used in the Bible is dragon, leviathan etc. Job is a good example

Thanks Charles, its always nice to know a fellow does something right every now and then lol!

I would say that the NIV would be the most popular, used extensively by individuals & Churches. Then, the KJV, NASB, RSV, Catholic version, GNB, ESV, etc. would all be popular depending on the Church, age of the reader & ease of reading.

But for accuracy, I would still nominate the KJV & NASB as the most preferred. Others here may have their own views.

Richard: That is a very good explanation; the best I've heard. I think I will steal it the next time I get into a discussion on that topic.

What are the 3 most popular/

versions of the Bible?

Its a 24 hr. day, its also verified twice more in exodus, be careful, the evolutionists will take scripture out of context to make you believe the earth is billions of years old, when God said a day is as a thousand days to Him he was simply saying that he (God) is outside of time, its not 2021 in Heaven!

To be born in the flesh (even to come into this world,) is to die once. Christ's coming to this world, which is hell, IS the love of GOD: even Christ himself laying down his life for you. For the graves are not many pits dug in the ground by many, and for many: but the graves are many terrestrial bodies of flesh, walking now on the earth this very day, yea, carnal men who are merely human, roaring as the proud lion. To be human is to walk after the flesh, having not the Spirit of Christ, for they confess not his coming. Nonetheless, IT IS UNRIGHTEOUS TO DIE A BODILY DEATH. For the flesh itself IS DEAD. So you MUST be BORN AGAIN, even changed by the Spirit of Christ, given by GOD, of the very Christ, who IS come in the flesh, preaching the truth: that your souls might be saved from the eternally damned. Reject this hypocracy of the scribes and Pharisees: for you can NOT have the Spirit of Christ unless Christ himself is come! Let them deceive you no further: but turn from the dead and turn to the living with a pure heart! IT IS written in the Holy Scriptures: For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and, Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Hello, the Bible is 100% clear there is only one God. There are not many Gods. There are false gods, but they aren't real. There is only one real God. If you believe the Bible, it says this many times througout.

1 John 5:7 - this clearly says the father, son (Word), and spirit are one.

James 2:19

Isaiah 44:6

1 Timothy 2:5

So, if the 3 parts are one, and if there's only one God, then the 3 parts are not separate Gods, but part of the same one God. Just like the skin of an apple is an apple, and the core is an apple, and the seeds are an apple, it doesn't mean it's 3 apples, but the same one, just different functions.

Why God said"in our image,after our likeness."?Are there Many Gods in the heaven?ye,your are right,for they smite each other,forasmuch so many wars on the earth till today.

Thank you for that nice expansion in truth Skip.

Hi Rodney,

I believe it's 24 hr period as we know a day to be.

Genesis 1:5 (KJV) And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

KRISTINA,

All that Richard has pointed out is true since The Scriptures are true.

However, I'd like to refine is issue. God is a triune being that Christians refer to a The Trinity: God The Father, God The Son, Jesus and God The Holy Spirit. Each of them is a distinct Person in ONE Being.

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is ONE LORD:"Deu 6:4

Each of them is fully God.

We however are creatures of God's creation. People who have put their trust in Jesus' saving grace through His death, burial and resurrection, are made to be sons of God, but not in the same way as Jesus is God's Only Begotten Son.

Paul puts it this way:

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 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: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will," Eph 1:3-5

We are adopted sons, with a full inheritance:

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you," 1Pe 1:3-4

Hope this helps.

Hello Kristina,

In my experiences and perception, along with Scripture, you are correct. As of coarse He is our Lord and Eternal King. What started from a very personal experience with the Lord I was led to this answer in the Bible about Jesus being our brother. As when we are born again of the Spirit we are also children of God and joint-heirs with Christ. Romans 8:15-17. Some Scriptures about Jesus being our brother. These are for you:

Matthew 12:50

Romans 8:29

John 6:38

John 20:17

( 1 Corinthians 9:5

Hebrews 2:11

Hebrews 2:17

I hope that helps. God Bless.

When God made his creations as measured in "days" in this text. Is this an earth day or a heaven day?

God is are father in heaven dose that make jesus are brother in the haeven because he jesus is god son?

We were already dead, and the Bible says, Ephesians 2:1 "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins:" Once you believe the Gospel for the Gentiles, God quickens you.

Those that are remaking will never taste death that meanes no sin not one little thing no wrong thing explain sin free does that mean your heart has to be truly cleaning want to be alive when the lord return I want to know everything about the coming of christ

Love the way it works

Hebrews 9:27 is simply a short statement about the progression of a life from birth to death. All of us, having no control over our aging process which leads to our last breath, will face death as a normal course of human existence.

But in the Rapture of the Saints, those that are alive to be a part of it, will not die - will never taste of death, but be ushered with glorified bodies into the presence of Christ. And those of God's children who have died prior to the Rapture, will be raised from the dead first, that their glorified bodies would unite with their souls & together will be with the Lord forever. This was the comforting message to the Thessalonian believers who were despairing that those who had already died would miss out from being with Christ in their new bodies. Even though we cannot envisage such a spectacular event, how the dead are raised from almost no visible evidence to us, or indeed, how we are raised into the sky to be with the Lord, yet the Bible states this event & that we should live in such manner of expectancy & holy living.

The Bible says it is appointed for man to die once, what about the people that go in the Rapture. When will they die?

I love you

what really happens when you die

I am 80 and I am a Catholic and I have read the Bible but it got lost

And I am going to read a page every day and maybe it will help my memory if I read it again.

Jesus is the right hand of God the Father .. All things were created by him and for him . He is the way the truth and the life. no man cometh to the Father but by him.

God the father and Jesus are one in regards to purpose , thought , Motive, out come, and yet he is the expressed

image of his Father.. The name Jesus means (God is saving) through Christ we are given Faith and the Grace to back it up.

repent and be baptized in the Name of Jesus , and then pray that you might recieve the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Praise the lord

Exodus 20:8: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
