The Bible says that Adam and Eve had many more children After Seth was born. It's easily missed. I learned to make myself read Genesis real slow. I guess 3rd cousins could've married first cousins etc.

Sometimes reading the genealogy charts is helpful. Actual charts/maps can be viewed on google. Pick one that's Christian.

hi rebeca! we are all under condenation, slaves to sin that leads to death(separation from God). but by the grace of God we can be free trough our faith in our savior Jesus Christ. is an undeserved gift from GOD to the whole world.

john 8:44 .... is the first murderer a reference to cain?

They have to make Jesus their Lord and Savior. He sheds his blood over our sins. They must have their names RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. Priority number one.

Revelation 20:12 - And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Revelation 3:5 - He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Revelation 21:27 - And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 20:15 - And whosoever was not found written in the BOOK OF LIFE was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 3:1-6 - And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. (Read More...)

Revelation 20:11-15 - And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

Luke 10:20 - Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (The Book of Life)

Exodus 32:33 - And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

Psalms 69:28 - Let them be blotted out of the book of the living (Life) and not be written with the righteous.

Malachi 3:16 - Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

Karen,

If the person is a non-believer and has already made up their mind and rejected the gospel message shared with them, you are under no obligation to explain anything to them. What we have is very precious. We have Christ. If a person does not want to hear the good news, then so be it. We are not to cast our pearls before the swine. Here's something that every believer should realize. We have got something very, very, precious. We don't have to prove anything to anybody. We are not under any pressure to meet any quota.

Now, if the person is a believer, born of God's Spirit, and they believe they can lose their salvation, something you might ask them is who are they trusting in for their salvation. Are they trusting in Christ who has saved them, sealed them with His Spirit until the day of redemption, and who has promised He will never leave them? Or, are they trusting in themselves to keep themselves saved? It's better to trust in the one who has saved us, the one who is keeping us saved by His own power, and the one who said He will never leave us nor forsake us!

If you are born again ( John 3);

You are washed in the Blood of Jesus, your name is recorded in the Book of Life, and declared righteous before God.

In less than 1 eyeblink, you'll be caught up to Jesus in the clouds. You'll be in your resurrection body already. Don't worry about bathing.

Let's concentrate on doing things Jesus desires us to do:

Ask forgiveness when we do things we ought not.

Accidently drop a Bible tract on the elevator floor every day

Read our Bible and say prayers, every day..one hour is a lot. Sometimes Fast from TV for a whole day.

Buy a food coupon booklet, and give a coupon to a homeless person and say Jesus is coming back real soon. I always remember people who give me food (because they don't like fresh fruit :D

NO ONE has ever shouted at me for saying Jesus is coming back soon, maybe This Year!

I tip the teen servers at all fast food restaurants and say the same thing. Everybody adores to get a tip. I tell them about the cool Revelation Station Movies on YouTube, they'll really dig.

I wanna get to heaven with a lot of joy in my heart for giving joy to complete strangers.

People are open to it these days.

Answering some questions (just a passerby looking for something) and thought I'd offer some unsolicited thoughts.

Q: "I never understand Why people want to know what Not Canonized scripture means?

WHY is not the King James Bible good enough for you?"

A:The Apocrypha was in the King James Bible up until the 19th century and in speaking of Ecclesiasticus, it was regarded as practical wisdom in the least and holy writ at most depending on which church "father" you regard. James, as in the brother of our Messiah, for instance, appears to reference the book several times in his epistle.

Next question...

Who is Esau? Two passages and one non-Biblical source to get your journey started...

1) Ezekiel 35

2) Obadiah

3) The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Volume 5, page 41...

And you will have your answer...there is a reason why Yahushua (Jesus) said these things:

Matthew 12:34

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

And John the Baptist said it as well - arriving to TWO WITNESSES.

And this:

John 7:19

19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

-------------------

And ultimately, Jesus uses the same exact language to accuse the Pharisees as He does to mystery Babylon (which is the rulers of our generation - exciting times!):

Matthew 23:35

35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

Revelation 16:6

6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Revelation 18:24

24 And in her was found the BLOOD OF PROPHETS, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth...

And oh so much more if one had a mind to just look!

You're welcome!

What are we to do????? I'm not sure any more.

We are sheep guided by the master shepherd Jesus Christ who guides us by words to Live and Walk in Forgiveness and love by thereby we all drink the same still water Gods word.

You're right. In the company choir, they always put me between tenors, and alto's; because I sing harmony. I call myself the frog lol. It works, but I don't understand it. I just love Christmas songs.

Dgjot God has never in his word contradicted himself, his word is true and pure Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words as silver tried in a furnace of earth purified seven times and perfect now not understood is entirely different.

You are NOT a "born again Christian", there's no such thing on this earth. Jesus explained it well by saying you need to be resurrected from death to life (like Jesus) to be born again, and that's all there is to it. You are fooling yourself, and misleading others by making up you own earthly definition. Born again Christians live a lie by calling themselves something other than what applies to them. Associate born again with resurrection and nothing else.

For the sake of the young reading this, stop referring to "born again" as an ex-backslider seeking the Lord. You dilute the meaning of what Jesus said, zapping my energy. Learn and change your ways for the greater good. Call a spade a spade according to the letter.

Please do not say that God will "rapture" the church out before the great tribulation, or anytime other than at the end. Does it make sense that at the great tribulation that God seals the saints on earth against anti-christ's rule, while "rapturing" out sinners because we profess to be Christian's? You are appointed one death. Do you think God would "rapture" billions of Christian sinners, and leave His elect to battle to the death with anti-christ? That notion is absolutely preposterous, non-Biblical and has zero chance happening. You are conflating doctrines with man-made ones that have no merit. You didn't study it let alone think it through.

The first resurrection ( Revelation 11:12) takes place at the seventh trumpet when the mystery of God is finished. "Raptured" Christians are not part of the army (saints) standing on the hill with Christ, they are no where to be found in Revelation 14:1. If you were "raptured" where did you go that you're not part of God's army? Misleading people about a pipe dream has drawbacks in the eyes of God. Stop perpetuating a popular, yet unsubstantiated lie through false faith and poisonous divination. Christian's that think too highly of themselves will be greatly disappointed when darkness comes. Both the righteous and the wicked will die like they have in previous wars. Know the order, and realize your place according to the grand scheme.

ChrisE Gods grace [ divine unmerited favour ]not by works lest any man should boast. Romans 10:9+10 Confess Believe in Heart[ inner most part of your being] take action say it, receive it Gods Gift accept, and begin to walk in it.

Amen Brother Jesse.

God bless.

Hey Jesse,

If I may without offending, we have four, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John describing this confusing and miraculous day and I feel ( Matthew 28:9) is later in the morning. In Matthew, Mark, and Luke the angels told the women to go tell the 11 that Jesus had risen. In John 20 Mary Magdalene was the first to see the empty tomb and ran and run into Peter and John and they went and she probably went back with them as the other women were arriving, Peter and John went home.

To keep it short; when Jesus met the women, ( Matthew 28:9) they were on their way to tell the 11 when Jesus appeared to them and they held him by his feet. It does not tell us how far they had gone from the sepulchre. You may disagree but that is ok, Matthew 28:9 was after Jesus ascended and returned.

My understanding is when Jesus first ascended in John 20:17, His name was placed above all, what we see in ( Ephesians 1:17-23). Also, I feel this was the fulfillment of the Feast of Firstfruits, as the smoke of the sheaf of the Firstfruits ascended to God, so the Firstfruits of the dead, who is Jesus ascended to God, I feel that was the reason Jesus did not want Mary to touch Him.

Have a great day and God bless,

dgjot: "The world wasn't populated by just two people. God created all the races on the 6th day...I don't understand why people disregard this and think Adam and Eve were the only two people on the planet."

Musta been, since we 'know' "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living." ( Genesis 3:20) Amen?

Solomon may have been too wise for his own good; he was no prize. He spent the latter 20 years of his reign worshiping strange gods and courting thousands of women. He singlehandedly divided Israel into two kingdoms. He is associated with the occult so much so that the Freemasons pay homage to him in the forward of their Bible. This, the so called wisest man that ever lived, was off the rails.

Our leaders have always trusted in Satan, everything done under the sun is in the name of treachery. Who do you suppose brings the abomination of desolation to our boarders; they do. Don't put your faith in ungodly men, or be a slave to what someone else believes. Trust no man, and continually pray to God for spiritual gifts, and discernment.

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

Does this mean that when girls lay with girls... Like its normal.. ofcourse not doing anything naughty, (sleep over thing)

But that guys shouldnt do the same thing?

Or is it talking about Gay stuff?

Or am i completely off track.

how can we identify which day is actually the sabbath day?????

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Revelation 18:4 KJV

I have family and friends in the RC system...I can't call it a church. A lot of true Christians left the RC system an excellent book is "50 Years in the Church of Rome". By Charles Chiniquy a RC priest who left and became a Presbyterian minister (sadly today also in the RC system).

I pray our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will bless you and your loved ones. a brother in Christ Dartmouth Nova Scotia Can.

Jesse Brother one of these days were gonna believe this stuff. God Bless

SPINNZ The reason that Eli didn't teach his sons is because they were men of belial lawless and uninstructible, also they knew not the lord 1 Samuel 2:12. These men throughout Gods word are useless and were spiritually repulsive and performed all types of ungodly acts. Eventually they His sons were slain when the ark of the covenant was taken by the Philistines 1 Samuel 4:11.

Lex Your conversion term i.e. being born again requires a few important actions. Believing which is action based between your head and your heart and your action mouth. Romans 10:8-10 an individual begins to realize he needs God in his life because he needs help from sin, eventually is told about what was done by God through Jesus Christ. Then with correct instruction gets Gods Word a Bible Finds Romans 10:9+10 up to this part its all action to get to an outcome then the beginning of the miracle of all miracles confesses the saviour from sin with his mouth and believes in His Heart innermost part of our being [literally seat of your personal life] that you confess with your mouth action believe in your heart to make jesus lord i.e. leader and believe God raised Him from the dead and your saved made whole and receive Gods gift Holy spirit. Trust me you'll know it's not just a feeling there is a peace you'll receive that is not of this world. It's the beginning of a life long walk of obedience and work to walk by the spirit that you've received.

How do we deal with so called Christians causing divisions in the Church? Unbelievers don't cause division among the brethren. Just my 2 cents contribution

When we die, do we go dirty to heaven or do we wait until Jesus comes and the dead will rise? Thank you.

Hi MIshael Some people play loud instruments but aren't heard because its not in symphony with the rest of the orchestra.

Manuel,

Hebrews 5:9 is speaking about the perfection of Christ. It says, "and being made perfect (Telios/Complete), He became the author of eternal salvation unto all those who obey Him."

A person must surrender their life to Christ in order to be saved. The obedience comes after salvation, after making Jesus Christ the Lord over your life. The flesh will never submit or be obedient to the Lord. It is His Spirit that He gives us, that dwells in us, and persuades us to be obedient to Him. Can a person be disobedient after they are saved? Yes, they can. However the Lord will always deal with a believer who chooses to be disobedient. For those He loves, those who belong to Him, He disciplines, He chastens. And sometimes that discipline can be pretty harsh.

The Lord requires obedience. He requires us to be faithful to Him. But if we slip up and become disobedient, our salvation remains. Jesus Christ purchased our salvation at the cross. He shed His blood to redeem us from sin. His sacrifice was made perfect (Telion). It was a complete and perfect sacrifice.

The completion: It is finished. He has done it all!
