Thanks S. Spencer, this will be a simple way to explain to one without overwhelming them with so much scripture they may not understand!

You tube.

By his word.

To David and Adam from Dgjot:

I wasn't the one that said "The Bible seems to contradict itself sometimes......"

I was replying to Donna Pittman.

Keep in mind that in the Bible, things aren't always as cut and dried as they seem.

(eg. Jesus talked in parables and then had to explain to his disciples what they meant.)

For over 2000 years, godly men have studied, studied, studied the scriptures. They wrote books & commentaries and explained things we wouldn't have noticed or understood. Right? I'm no Bible scholar but I've read some of those books/commentaries or listened to Bible teachers. In the Bible, things aren't always as cut and dried as they seem.

(Like in Revelation 12:3 where it talks about, "a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." C'mon man. It's not an actual dragon. It's symbolic of a political system, or something.)

Regarding Eve: Genesis 3:13 "And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."

Beguiled = wholly seduced. There's a good chance Eve was already pregnant with Cain when "Adam knew her".

More than likely, Cain was the offspring of Satan and Eve. By murdering his brother Abel, he did HIS FATHER'S bidding.

Abel was the offspring of Adam and Eve, as was Seth. Abel was murdered and God replaced him with Seth.

Genesis 3:20 "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living."

That doesn't necessarily mean that everyone "living" came strictly from Adam and Eve. Since all the great men of the bible came from Seth's bloodline, including Jesus- "all living" could mean "Spiritually" living. As opposed to the Spiritually dead like Cain.

I know this all sounds insane but there's a chance there might be a grain of truth in it.

Dgjot Miracles did not stop with the apostles, I have had several in my life including healing.

Hi Ron A little clearer hereabout what?

I love the orient! Have been there!

Knowing the things of God, are the truths we need. We cannot survive without them. There will be no difference, all will become equal before Him! Those who separate themselves from Gods word, shall find a place only unto themselves. A place of solace, a place of loneliness. Perhaps we will have a chance to repent, these things will be according to His mercy!

If you do not know Christ, you will be one most miserable, for your sins shall go before you, and will follow after! Changing the will of God is impossible, He will have mercy on who He shall have mercy! Judgment is His!

Knowing the times, was the disciples and prophets privilege. So it is for those that love Him!

The Jews ignored them, even denied them! so what was there end? What is the end of those who deny Him?

History, should be the teacher once again not far behind! Yet, even farther is the word of God that we still refuse to learn! I have heard the words "they are not human". I have recently once again heard these same words, even in the streets, and yet there is no fear of God! Watch be sober, repent and be baptized, your redemption draws nigh!

The 2 witnesses are not 2 people, and they are put right in front of your face, in several incantations. Who's sealed from death 42 months from both houses? Look a little closer at the definition of their description, they're there.

Who are the 2 candlesticks and 2 olive trees that stand before God? Figure out who these symbolize and you will understand who the 2 witnesses are. They are sealed from both houses.

FYI Enoch and Elijah are very much dead, it's just that the writers romanticized their mortal departures. Jesus said, 2 will be in the field and 1 shall be TAKEN (dead). ...and God took Enoch meaning Enoch died.

Tim,

That's a fair analysis of the resurrections. If you dissect each resurrection you will find that the firstfruits, saints, do not stand in front of the great white throne. The saints are thrust through in the twinkling of an eye to heaven. It's as though they are fast tracked into service.

The participants of the second resurrection, namely all of us who are left, will stand in front of the great white throne for judgment, post millennium.

The distinction between resurrections is subtle but clear. The saints are a separate class of elite Christian's as opposed to the general, second resurrection population.

Thanks for your explanation, God bless the dividing of truth as we inch closer to home.

Premature babies could not survive thousands of years ago, Uriel is clearly referring to these last days when science and technology allows babies to live and therefore 'leap and jump about'. Also he predicts that 'Fire shall break out in many places'; we are clearly at the beginning of the end times folks !

My opinion is they are Enoch and Elijah. Those are the only two humans according to scripture that did not die - both were taken up. Scripture says it is appointed to man to die once. The two witnesses, they stand before God, and as the prophets of old God gave them to power to perform miracles, and prophesied. These two shall die in the streets of Jerusalem and once again God will call them up. They don't face judgment.

Yes Yes Yes sir. Love Love is the way and Love again

I have comforted me with this word and belive it. John 14. 2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

God bless u in Jesus name.

Hi dear friend in Jesus. All of us struggling sometimes and some day's.

Belive in Jesus Christ is the only thing, then be patience. Please follow the script John 11. 25Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

27She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

God bless u in Jesus name.

Matthew 15.12,13,14

Blind leading the blind never know until it's too late .

There was great joy in bringing the Ark of God back to its rightful abode. God will be praised when we allow the Lord to abide correctly in our hearts and mind.

Bless our thoughts and speech that it always be a sweet smelling incense to you Lord. May our actions glorify you. Thank you Jesus for your comfort and joy.

Bless our leadership and those in authority to call on you, to turn their hardened hearts to you for wisdom. We need your leading in our land.

Hi Vincent.

I believe your answer is in the text.

John 8:44. Ye are of your father ( THE DEVIL, ) and the lusts of your father ye will do.( HE ) was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

God bless.

Hi Karen.

I would like to add to what Brother Jesse shared,

Hebrews 4:11. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

"This is A CALL BEFORE HAND, not a call afterwards.". IT SAYS ENTER INTO HIS REST "LEST" YOU FALL. and that rest is to rest from your works, The only way you can fall is unbelief, and if you have unbelief you never entered in. The unbelief is NOT taking stock in HIS REST AND OUR REST HE HAS GIVEN US MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS VERSES.

If we refuses the finish work on the cross and insist in a works based salvation plan you have not joined him in his rest, and may fall after the same example of unbelief, ( Disbelieving in the rest we have when joined to Christ. )

Hebrews 4:10. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

God bless.

Thank you for your encouragement. May the Lord bless our nation in our time of need. Just wanted to add that we as saints are commanded to pray for those in authority, 1 Timothy 2: 1-5. May the Lord shine His face on you and your family. May we be a blessing unto others as the Lord has blessed us. Have a good evening.

What year was the Bible written?

Overcome.

The saints are there to witness and report on anti-christ's crimes. Two symbolic witnesses are required at trial to render their testimony. They are NOT Elijah and Moses.

Glen,

I'm glad to see your understanding is consistent with scripture. If you notice there is an information gap between the first and second resurrections. For instance, ( Revelation 11:12) describes the one hundred forty four thousand being called up to heaven. You would think that this is the only resurrection because the saints appear alone on Mount Olives with Jesus at the seventh trumpet. The thousand year reign on earth cannot house the many billions that make up the the dead in Christ. The second resurrection comprises the "whole house of Israel" as depicted in ( Ezekiel 37:1-14). This doesn't count the 108 billion soles that have ever lived. This is why the new heavens and earth come about, to accommodate everyone.

1 Thessalonians 4:17 marks the first resurrection, but its presentation is incomplete and confusing. Are there elements of both resurrections here? There's no doubt that at the final trumpet everyone is changed. Paul is saying that all believers rise, but is he talking about the saints/ 24 elders being resurrected; when he says "we", is he talking about his set? If this is the dead in Christ resurrection, where do all the risen go to manifest themselves in the afterlife. There is never any mention of the dead in heaven, other than the saints. Are these believers being held in a unique place, other than joining the saints and elders? Are details being withheld till a later time when we're able to process it. Anything written past the seventh trumpet has been made confusing, details are withheld. It's as if the two resurrections have something in common with the sealed up seven thunders.

It is clear that there are gaps in the resurrection time-line, and the story is presented in a manner that merges the two resurrections together. Ideally, the first resurrection is for the saints/elders, and the second is for everyone else. However, I couldn't wholeheartedly sign off on a theory for the mentioned reasons.

Righteous Judgment

** John 7:24 **

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

2 Thessalonians 1:5

Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

Romans 2:5

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

1 John 3:7

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Ezekiel 3:21

Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Matthew 10:41

He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

Matthew 23:28

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

John 5:22

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

Once I got busted by Jesus for judging. We were street ministering; and all the Catholics would drive by the Catholic Church, tip their beers and holler out the priests names. honk the horn at us :/

The Holy Spirit leaned on me and said quietly but no nonsense..DO NOT JUDGE !

All you can do is fall down and say YESSIR!!!

the fundamental baptists and some other denominations only use KJV claiming this is the only english translation nearest to the original language of the scriptures..

can anyone knowledgeable enough to explain this

There's no contradiction. Only human reason contradicts itself. You weren't specific in why you assume 2 people can't populate the earth? Is it because you're looking for an explanation for other races, cultures, and geographical distribution? In the event that is your hang up, that is explained by the Tower of Babel, where God specifically mixed people's language and scattered them throughout the Earth. It's my belief that he changed their races also, and that it just didn't happen to say that. For example, Chinese in China, Indians in India, Hawaiians in Hawaii, etc. Link

God bless...

amen....brother. but how sad when this person is a relative that you love.

there is place name paradise, here our soul will wait until the time be fulfill. probably we will see Gods glory.
