Hi Naresh.

I'm attempting to refresh your question.

God bless.

Naresh I would suggest the Church epistles first the reason being they are addressed Romans through thessalonians to the Church of God in this the Age of Grace that we live in. Then Gospels then Genesis and so on. Thats personal preference. Enjoy no matter what you decide. Also you will need a concordance, you will because words used in english have different meanings in the original languages of Gods Word trust me this is lifelong, but the journey is worth it. Also line everything up with Gods Word. Think of it this way God is Perfect so the Original Word of God was Given by 2 Peter 1:20+21 . The word private their means ones own thinking. Have Fun

Roxie Your Welcome the more we understand the more we can believe.

Margie Your answer is in Gospel of John 4:24 It Is Written

Michael It's from what man thinks, to exercise my sense of humour the problem wasn't a fruit in a tree its was the pair on the ground. P. S. God didn't even say fruit.

Margie gospel of John 4:24 is your answer. It Is Written follow the Scriptures

Jerome Middle east culture dark skin.

Hi Billy.

How do you interpret Revelation 3:16 in view of your question?

Thank you.

Standing by.

Disobedience? Defiance? Apostate?

Hi Ron Scripturally this is what I gather Gen. 1: 26+27 let us make man In our the Image or likeness. In the Gospel of John 4:24 Jesus Christ said God is Spirit so Genesis 1:27 God gave man Spirit so he could communicate with man. In ch 2:7 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. That being shown when a born again person falls asleep in Christ His holy Spirit goes back to God he takes his last breath soul life and body goes back to dust. The part of man that died in genesis he lost His Spiritual connection, big time not good, bought back by Jesus Christ. Made available again day of pentecost to be born again of Gods Spirit by what Jesus Christ accomplished. All other inputs welcome.

What does the Bible say about homosexuals???

The fruit of the tree of knowledge is commonly depicted as an apple. Why? Where do we know this from as the Bible only says fruit of the tree.

When you pray in the spirit are you pray to Jesus or god ?

Is our spirit with Jesus the second we die or are we asleep?

Are there more scriptures that provide or supports my question?

There is only one , unforgivable sin ,. An can only be made by God's elect ,.. to blasphemy against the holy sprit ,.. Luke 12 vs 10

thank you english sacha i appreciate your answer to my question. be blessed

Jesse thank you so much you really broke it down for me.thanks again and be blessed

Precious friend, Naresh. You do realize reading and studying are two different things? I would suggest "reading" to be 3-5 (or more, IF you wish...) chapters a day and that will take about a year to "read" the Whole Bible (KJV). This is good so that you can "...live By EVERY Word That Proceedeth Out Of The Mouth Of God." ( Deuteronomy 8:3) ( Matthew 4:4) ( Luke 4:4)

For life-long "studying" I recommend starting With: "What God Is Doing Today, Under GRACE, And Specifically WHO HE IS, And HIS Salvation For us," found in Romans Through Philemon, KJV, prayerfully And Carefully, and study According To The Following Bible "study" Rules: ( 1 Corinthians 14:40) ( 2 Timothy 2:15) ( Deuteronomy 4:2) ( Deuteronomy 12:32) ( Proverbs 30:5-6) ( Revelation 22:18-19 KJB!) ( Acts 17:11) ( Isaiah 28:10) ( 2 Timothy 3:16-17) ( 2 Timothy 3:16-17) ( 1 Corinthians 2:13)

The Best "Interpretive" Commentary On The Bible Is The BIBLE Itself!:

NEVER ever interpret The Many Plain Scriptures by the "few" difficult verses, But, ALWAYS Always Interpret the few Obscure/Difficult/Dubious verses By ALL Of The MANY Plain and Clear Passages Of God's Pure And Holy Word!

Finally:

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do ALL to The Glory Of God!" ( 1 Corinthians 10:31)

Naresh, hope this helps on your reading/studying journey, and saves you from a lot of Confusion of the enemy...

Hi Ron This is my understanding scripturally of what you were sharing Genesis 1 God Created man in His own Image In the Gospel of John 4:24 Jesus Christ said God Is Spirit a spirit has no form it is Spirit Gen. 2:7 lord formed man dust of the ground and breathed into His nostrils breath of life and man became a living soul, soul life is breath life. In Genesis man did not die physically but he lost his spiritual connection with God because he disobeyed. When Jesus Christ paid the price for mans redemption it became available Day oif Pentecost to receive the spiritual connection that was lost Holy Spirit or Pneuma Hagion we received that which was lost in Genesis. When we fall asleep in Christ the spirit goes back to where it came from you take your last breath soul life and your body goes to dust of the ground. Now in the old testament many times to communicate to men God had to make himself known in the five senses to communicate at first Moses burning bush, staff that turned to a snake attention getters, they had Gods spirit upon them but not in them, that's why David in psalms said to God take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Remember Jesus Christ said those who have seen me have seen the father five senses the Disciples didn't get it tell after Pentecost. I realize there are other ideas on this, scripturally this is my understanding. All other inputs gladly accepted.

Precious friend, Adam, said: "I think the phrase absent from body, present with the Lord is a good example of that [telephone game]. Because if you actually read the verse, Paul did not say what people assume he said."

Of course, The Scriptures Actually Say:

"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, AND to be present With The LORD." ( 2 Corinthians 5:8). Who wouldn't WITH "Paul's CONFIDENCE, "RATHER Be WITH CHRIST"?

Is there really "soul sleep, UNconsciousness," or, as some extremists think, "annihilation" ["ssua"] when "we are absent from the body."? We Must prayerfully "compare spiritual With spiritual, With The Blessed Holy Spirit As TEACHER" ( 1 Corinthians 2:13), for the Full Picture = "What SAITH All The Scriptures" in this doctrine?:

(1a) In heaven, John says: "I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for The Word Of God" ( Revelation 6:9)

(1b) "And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O LORD, Holy and True, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" ( Revelation 6:10) = NO "ssua" here, Correct?

(2) So, what about the "members of the Body Of CHRIST, Today, who depart from the body, in death"? Why are they not "With CHRIST, In Heaven," as Paul states?:

a) "For to me to live is Christ, and to die IS GAIN." ( Philippians 1:21)

b) "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and TO BE WITH CHRIST; which is FAR BETTER:" ( Philippians 1:23)

c) who Exactly, does "[CHRIST] God Bring WITH HIM" At our Great GRACE Departure?:

"For if we believe that JESUS died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in JESUS Will God BRING With HIM." ( 1 Thessalonians 4:14)

Only One Conclusion: we depart, in death, ie: "absent from the body, AND [IMMEDIATELY Are] present With The LORD JESUS CHRIST," Correct, Adam? Thus:

"[CHRIST] WHO Died for us, That, Whether we wake OR sleep, we should LIVE TOGETHER WITH HIM!" ( 1 Thessalonians 5:10)

Please be Richly Encouraged And Edified!!

My opinion and believe that during that period of time, the earth was corrupted by the sons of God, the fallen angels, Satan's followers, who left their habitation and came to earth. This was Satan's desperate act to taint Et Ha Adams generation, the godly remnant through which Christ would come from. The children born to the fallen angels are called Nephilim, in other words giants. Enoch, Noah's great-great grandfather, lived during the time of the fallen angels trying to attack God's godly people; he preached about them and then prophesized about their destruction. Noah was living the prophecy of his great-great grandfather Enoch. God emphasized the wickedness that was going on that displeased him and He repented with what he had created. But as it is said, God was pleased with Noah because Noah and his family had a perfect generation, meaning he did not mingle with the fallen angels and he obeyed and worshiped God and so did his family. Many fail to understand that God tells us that "Satan's seeds" are on earth with us from the time in the Garden till today. In the garden the serpent (another name for Satan) beguiled Eve and what did God say to the serpent (Gen3:15), ( Gen 3:16) As you read on, Gen 4:1,2 .. both Cain and Abel were of the same age, they brought God offering at the same time...this makes them Fraternal twins...born of different father. Cain can be explained as Satan's offspring when you read Et Ha Adams genealogy. Cain is not mentioned and he has his own genealogy( Gen 4:17,18) There are many preachers, teacher that don't teach this, but all one has to do is read and rightly divide God's work. Christ even reveal this (John8:44).Knowing this I understand why God destroyed the wicked ones that were on the earth during that time. Also remember in Gen7:15, God indicates other men and women (gentiles)that had the breath of life that went into the ark, then He closed the doors.God reveals and explains all things, all we have to do is seek

Thank You, Ronald.

Lighton In the original scripture there were no capital letters, no chapters, no center references, no punctuation it was all manuscript form {forgodsolovedtheworld] that being said I choose to believe that the translators did a remarkable job in what they were assigned to do. What we were given explains plenty to understand our deliverance by God through Jesus Christ. God Bless

What is remarkable in the Judaic traditions are the example the word uses for the need of man always doing something right or wrong in comparison to the will of God! How making excuses for sin and disobedience, would somehow be justification for what He does.

What if the Jewish tradition never existed, what if the prophets were never recorded in the old testament? Their would be know need for A PROMISE TO BE FULFILLED! As a matter of fact there would be no sin that would separate us from God! There would be no need for a law!

The lives of the tribes have been reserved for mankind's learning. Beginning with Moses! They have recorded and saved all of it! Being delivered from slavery, with Moses as their guide. they continue on until now!

Through all the ups and downs, the troubles, the joys , the idea that God was the reason, and that A righteous King would be born unto them, even now is what we look for! Now Christ comes along and covers all that has been said and done. Fills every jot and tittle. Crosses every t and dots every I. In fact the king was born! He was here, and they rejected Him!

To understand the Judaic traditions would be a big help in understanding the relationship, of the law and gospel and what they mean to one another. Terms like circumcision. Born again, redemption, sanctification ,justification. The deeper man goes into his own works, believing something else, the further from the understanding of these things become!

We justify everything we do, that is the danger in believing we are right in a certain thing. That thing is called the works of the law. Soon there will be no law. Then we will understand what it means, when it is gone! Then the word Christian may become only a vapor of the past! Then they will say ,how can these things be?

Good lesson, I'm learn this

The prophet Esdras is he the same man as The Book Ezra in the Bible

where can I find the various names of God and the different meanings?
