John 1:1-5

Genesis 1 & 2

Romans 6:1-5

what is the meaning of Baptism..?

Why we need Baptism..?

Gen 1:1 in the beginning God created heaven and the earth

it really tells how he made everything

How did the world begin? Who created the earth, human beings, and all.

Philippians 3:21

"Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself."

I think the Saints are in heaven but will come back with the Lord to get their bodies what will be changed.

Also I heard this saying while I wasn't listen very well to a person (William Branham,I think) who had a heavenly experience he was told this by a Saint in heaven.

What does 2 Corinthians 5:8 mean?

This is a poignant, soul-baring moment from the apostle Paul. He is not suicidal, but he is honest about his deepest desires. He would rather be with the Lord than in his mortal, burdened, groaning, dying body. For the first time in this chapter, he describes being in his future, eternal body with Christ as being "at home." He is utterly convinced that it is where he is headed. Heaven is where he is meant to be forever. Paul's faith that the glory of his eternal life will far outweigh and outlast the suffering of earthly life makes him want that life more than this one. Of course it does. How could it not?

That same faith, though, gives him courage. Knowing his eternal fate is secure gives him fearlessness to keep going in this life. It emboldens Paul to stay on the path God has called him to. He is not actively seeking death; he is simply ready to go whenever God calls him home. Until then, he will keep working at what God has given him to do in the here and now.

Consider how many times Paul was beaten up, jailed, threatened with death; in shipwrecks, no donkey; walking all over the Gentile nations. Never having enough money to help others he met on his travels.

He had a mouth but I truly admire him.

Mishael

(2.Cor 5:8) When the bible says: absent from the body is to be present with the Lord

(1.Thes 4:16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of

the archangel, with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

Please explain the difference.

Thank you and God bless you

No worries

Joseph, as it pertains to whether or not the land of Nod was inhabited/uninhabited, in my opinion we cannot draw a conclusion one way or another. However, I believe that we can only go by what has been revealed to us in the written word of God.

As Christians, we must believe and receive the word of God by faith. Hebrews 11:3 says, " through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

We will never be able to fully comprehend the word of God by our own human reasoning or intellect. 1Corinthains 2:14, "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." (Understood)

We must allow the Holy Spirit to teach us and give us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of Scripture to avoid erroneous beliefs which ultimately leads to erroneous doctrine.

In regards to the creation of Adam, again we must adhere to what is written.

It is evident in Genesis 2:7, that Adam became a "living soul", he was human. We were created in the image and likeness of God, in that we are triune beings: spirit, soul and body, as God who is a Spirit, is the Father, the Word, (that was made flesh, John 1:14), and the Holy Spirit. ( 1John 5:7)

Adam was the first man who was created from the dust of the ground or the earth by God. But Christ who is called the second Adam, is the one who is, and the giver of life. He is the firstborn of the New Creation of God.

Finally, I would like to express the danger of leaning to our own understanding. It is my sincere prayer and desire that you have a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit of God who will lead you and guide you into all truth!

You are very welcome. God bless you for reaching ot to everyone and your ministry. May God continue to bless you with strength, stamina and desire to continue, regardless of the hopelessness you may sometimes feel. Smile!

Sorry i quoted Malecki 3 instead of Malecki 2v15.

I wish you have a peaceful weekend !

Shalom !

I receive your prayer, dear one in Christ.

Thank you for sharing that. It's heart warming & encouraging.

Dear brother or sister Mishael

Thank you for your kindness answer !

I pray to God/Jehovah/Yahweh bless you and keep your health and safety in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You need not reply for this message .

Thanks Donna for your honest reply about Genesis 2v20. But unfortunately i'm still in the dark about the answer (Gen.2v20): The land Nod was mensioned during proses of Creation. Can Nod be identified as (land) without inhabitants (citizens).

Secondly, the operation done on Adam could have been SPIRITUALLY, meaning preaching the Gospel to mankind, the intention to bring forth Spiritual BIRTH.Reason being that Genesis introduced to us God as a SPIRIT. My views are supported by [Malecki 3]. That chapter identifies (God) as a Spirit therefore the SPIRITUAL BEING was supposed to be in the IMAGE of the CREATOR (GOD).

In the beginning His Spirit was dwelling upon the waters/the deep.

Does that indicates that identifying Adam one should imagine a Spiritual Rehabilitated Being that was formed out of humankind. [Gen.1v27-28].

NB. Adam as described in Genesis was called by Jesus Christ as the 1st Adam without (the life giving Spirit).

Lastly, to imagine a Spirit (God) physically performing an operation on a body, unless God was in the likeness of human. Spiritual "operation", to rehabilitate the soul of humankind, that sounds more acceptable.

The above are my honest personal views, unless otherwise convinced.

Wesley's Commentary for Genesis 2:20

2:18-20 It is not good that man - THIS man, should be alone - Though there was an upper world of angels, and a lower world of brutes, yet there being none of the SAME RANK of beings with himself, Adam might be truly said to be alone. And every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air God brought to Adam - Either by the ministry of angels, or by a special instinct that he might name them, and so might give a proof of his knowledge, the names he gave them being expressive of their inmost natures.

There were other beings: God's created angels; and the evil angels who followed Lucifer. God chose neither.

He chose to perform surgery on Adam, with one of his ribs. If my memory is right: men have one less rib than women do. Someone medical can prove that.

Mishael

John 17:9

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine

Hi Joseph, maybe I misunderstood your question. I thought you were referencing specifically to Adam.

Even though these events appear to have happened in chronological order as they are recorded in the Bible, it is possible that the other men and women were the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve. Genesis 5:4 Adam lived 930 years before he died.

We do not know how much time had passed before Cain knew his wife. I believe the bloodline has a lot to do with the seed that God spoke about in Genesis 3:15, which we know is Christ. Something to consider!

Wife of Caine, and people that Caine was afraid that they'll avenge the killing of Abel, meaning there were other people besides the three of them.

I see that when you first approach someone you will "attack" using bold statements through personal words. When you are asked questions about your response you will grab any "relevant" scripture you can find and post it. You won't use your own words to give an answer in response. This means one thing.. your heart is hardened and biased. You seem to come in here to confront and cause abrasion. I believe you know this.

Since you won't respond heres but one scripture I will give you, sir;

Galatians 3:26. What does that scripture mean to you? Not my words, it is directly from THE word.

I pray for you to find peace within your heart and to overcome whatever spirit is causing abrasion and separation in your thoughts.

God Bless

I believe that the word "suitable" to put it in simple terms means, that she was of the same kind as Adam. For every species in the animal kingdom, God created male and female for them to reproduce in the earth, however for Adam there was no female version of him.

Hence, God spoke, "it is not good that the man should be alone".....

My question referred to Gen.2v20.

Meaning of "suitable helper" in that sentence.

Does that mean (God) had a choice to choose from "other " women as helper or wife?

Genesis 1:30

"And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so

John 6:63

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."

Jesus is God manifest in the flesh, many people saw Him and they lived.

Thank you for your response :).

I will look that verse and the others in a little bit.

Yes, my dream was beautiful I will never forget it. It got my attention and I kept searching. I'm so happy to tell you a few years later, we started going to Church and my husband and I both were saved, Thank God. God works in mysterious ways. Not long after that day, my 2 brothers and a sister in law was saved. Then it wasn't long when my daughter, 2 nieces and a nephew was saved. We all kept praying for my Dad to go to church. Many years later him and my mom were at my aunt's house in Kentucky.They talked him into going with them to their little country church.Praise the Lord my Dad got saved and was Baptized.So thankful my mom was with him.She had prayed and shed many tears over the years for him. A few more years later, my dad passed away. But even though it was so so sad losing him, I know by God's Grace and His never ending love, our family will be together

She may have been referring to Isaiah 35:1-4

Your dream sounds beautiful.

Isaiah 35:5-6 = John 9

How to be saved, please read

John 3:16

Mathew 5

Mathew 6

Mathew 7

Jude 1

Hopefully that's helpful

From the Commentary Box

Cautions against rash suretiship. (1-5) A rebuke to slothfulness. (6-11) Seven things hateful to God. (12-19) Exhortations to walk according to God's commandments. (20-35)1-5 If we live as directed by the word of God, we shall find it profitable even in this present world. We are stewards of our worldly substance, and have to answer to the Lord for our disposal of it; to waste it in rash schemes, or such plans as may entangle us in difficulties and temptations, is wrong. A man ought never to be surety for more than he is able and willing to pay, and can afford to pay, without wronging his family; he ought to look upon every sum he is engaged for, as his own debt. If we must take all this care to get our debts to men forgiven, much more to obtain forgiveness with God. Humble thyself to him, make sure of Christ as thy Friend, to plead for thee; pray earnestly that thy sins may be pardoned, and that thou mayest be kept from going down to the pit.
