    Hi Jesse,

    You are not causing any confusion at all. To me anyway. As we should share these things of the Scriptures to help broaden each other. I very much enjoy conversing with others in the Lord.

    That is very interesting about the "eis" following the G1720 word. You are correct as I looked over the Septuagint and saw the differences from those other two verses, with G1720, to John 20:22.

    Although Jesus had not ascended into Heaven yet, as you correctly stated, He had raised up from the dead and was in His glorified body at this point. In my thought, in that He just "breathed in" before He spake seems of no avail or reason to me to have stated that.

    With the Thayers and Strongs definition of the word G1720 stating "to blow or breathe upon" and "to blow at or on". As I am in no way a scholar in the Greek language.

    Also as that word, G1720, only being used twice in the entire Septuagint(Greek OT), in the two verses you stated, and only once in the entire Textus Receptus(Greek NT) in John 20:22.

    My belief is that the Lord did breathe the Holy Ghost at His disciples at that point. Although as I stated before only God, and the Lord, knows for sure about this. Your belief is just as good as mine. That is very good that you picked up on that little difference.

    As this topic really is not that important. Exactly when the Lords disciples received the Holy Ghost.

    Thank you for all your information and time Jesse. Always a pleasure.

    God Bless.

    Minister DLW Green,

    How do you receive your revelation?
  • Dawn Elizabeth Dodgen - In Reply on Numbers 8 - 5 years ago
    Of course Christ didn't descend from Cain - Christ came umbilical cord to umbilical cord from Seth. This fact I will never budge from.
  • Dawn Elizabeth Dodgen - In Reply on Numbers 8 - 5 years ago
    Cain's descendants did not all die in Noah's flood.-

    "And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female." Genesis 6:19

    "OF EVERY LIVING THING of ALL FLESH, two of EVERY SORT shalt thou bring into the ark..."

    - Kenite's were also on the ark. How did descendants of Cain, the Kenites, wind up in 1 Chronicles (& elsewhere)?

    "...Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God." Genesis 6:9

    Noah and his family were the only "perfect" in breed/pedigree. All the races were created on the 6th day of God's creation ( Gen. 1:26-27). If Noah's family were the only people to be saved, then how do we account for all the races we still have today? Please don't say it's because Canaan was cursed ( Gen. 9:25). Canaan was cursed by Noah, not God; and Noah cursing Canaan would in NO way create another race - absolutely biologically impossible.
  • SkipVought - In Reply on Luke 1 - 5 years ago
    Bessie,

    "And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."Mar 7:9-13

    Corban was referring to something that has been set aside as a gift to be given to God at some later date, but which is still in the possession of the owner. According to contemporary Jewish tradition the person who made this claim was absolved from responsibility to support or assist his parents, a clear violation of the Mosaic law to honor one's parents.

    Today, we are not under the Mosaic Law and other financial options may be available to people in retirement. But this, too, does not absolve a child from taking care of elderly or disabled parents who may need financial, emotional and spiritual support.

    Honor your mother and father as you ought.
  • Sarah McCarthy - In Reply on Romans 8:9 - 5 years ago
    So I've recently turned my life to God but because of this whole covid thing I won't be able to go to a bible studies etc. I'm also concerned that I won't be able to get baptised etc when the time comes. So what would happen then?
  • Carleton - In Reply on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
    Amen. A three fold cord!
  • Jesse - In Reply on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
    Amen,

    Also, submission to one another, that is to every believer.



    I'd like to share a short technical point. The word submission in Greek means to be in an orderly relationship.



    What that means is there is not a relationship between two people, but between three, you, me, and the Lord.

    I have to line up with the Lord for a right relationship with you!



    I heard of a man that commanded his wife to go out and commit prostitution so that they could bring in extra money. And the wife was devastated because some of her friends were saying that she had to obey her husband in all things according to the bible.



    In the book of Acts, the disciples said to the ruling Sanhedrin when they said we will not allow you to preach any more in this man's name, and they said whether it's right to obey you rather than God, or God rather than you, you decide. We're going to obey God!



    To be in an orderly relationship means that I can submit and function with my wife, but if she puts me in a position to sin against my Lord and violate His word, if I were to obey that, I would be out of order.



    It's a little confusing but it has to do with lining up with people in the Lord.

    So when it says submitting yourselves to one another, it means line up with one another in the Lord. I think that applies to all believers, husbands and wives included.
  • Carleton - In Reply on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
    Husbands, one way to love your wives more is to be submissive to the Lord at His gentle promptings. We can be lambs, which helps our wives to be kind too. Happy is the home where the Love of God is first. The world teaches toughness and practicalness, the end effect is shallowness in our love for one another.
  • Darren Croft on Letter of Jeremiah 1:12 - 5 years ago
    Galatians 5:20-21 "Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

    For those interested in Gematria, here is another example of fake news on the daily: The spa shootings are more news by numbers, sorceries against the people. This is our reality made possible through a sick government. It takes craft to align these staged exploits up so perfectly. God knows what they do, and so should we. Here's proof according to the facts:

    -8 dead in 3 massage parlor shootings in Atlanta area, March 16, 2021

    -8 dead, at 3 spa shootings? I see a 'murder' by numbers ritual. Murder = 83 / 38

    -The shootings happened at about 8:30 PM = 83

    -It happened in "Cherokee" County" = 38

    -The shooter was arrested in "Cusp County" = 163

    -This news comes on March 16, or 16/3, like 163, the 38th prime.

    -This is happening in a predominantly black city, one day after the Jesuit Order pledge of $100 million in reparations 3/15/2021 = 3+15+20+21 = 59

    -Slave = 59, Negro = 59, Rasta = 59, Blues = 59

    -Atlanta, Georgia = 59 in Full Reduction

    The songs "Murder by Numbers" and "Gematria the Killing Name" describe what they do in detail.

    Murder = 5+6+9+5+4+9 = 38 (Reverse Full Reduction)

    Murder = 14+6+9+23+22+9 = 83 (Reverse Ordinal)

    "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." Eph 5:21-22

    "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" Eph 5:25

    You can't separate these verses!
  • Vince - In Reply on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
    SKIP,

    Correct you are, God was right there because He's everywhere all the time. So back to my commentary. Now we have the entire world being created and a garden with God, 2 people, lots of fruit trees, lots of animals and a particularly, subtle animal, the serpent. The tree in question is the "tree of THE knowledge of good and evil." No mention or knowledge of the tree of life yet. It was mentioned after they sinned (why after?).

    The garden represents a classroom. The teacher is being represented by the serpent. The students are mankind and the entire creation. In a study program, we generally have questions, answers and demonstrations. The first question of all time is, "DID GOD SAY." This was posed by the serpent to both Adam and Eve and then followed with an answer by Eve. This question should have been answered by Adam, that's why God said to Adam, "BECAUSE THOU HAST HEARKENED UNTO THE VOICE OF THY WIFE," (Gen.3:17). The information about the tree was given to Adam and not Eve.

    Eve's answer had an addition to what God said. She said we should not touch the tree, not true. Their job is to take care of the garden, including that tree. It's a lot more I could say on this point, but I want to keep it short and get to the point. Notice vs. 6, and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food; what's going on here? What's happening here is the serpent is demonstrating to them that there is no deadly substance in the fruit to cause death. We all learn much more and much faster when we can see a demonstration of the subject at hand than by being lectured on the subject. This is why the serpent is called more subtle. It's being possessed by the evil spirit that God created for this very purpose.

    I noticed in your post that you mentioned free will. Yes we all have free will in everything except salvation. God decides and already choose all who will share eternal life with Him. Just think, if God don't know that information, then He is not all knowing. If also,

    Since my thread did not end up here, I will repeat it. I think my thought was frivolous and I am sorry.

    And by the way, Cain's descendants ALL died in The Great Flood as did all but Noah and his descendants.
  • Earl Bowman - In Reply on Psalms 138 - 5 years ago
    Jesse, may the Spirit grace us with his wisdom and understanding. You stated that Paul was bold in his teachings; but could be so because he was taught by Jesus in the desert. Scripture says we are taught the same way.

    1 John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received of him abideth in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

    Revelation 12:14 And to the woman (symbolic of the church, which is us) were given two wings of a great eagle (symbolic of the kingdom of heaven), that she might fly in the wilderness (the desert where you are taught by the Holy Spirit, which is Christ), into her place, nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (symbolic of the day of the Lord which began at John the Baptist crying as a voice in the desert and has continued now for 2000 years.

  • Deborah Kuradal - In Reply on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
    Dear Jesse ,

    This is very helpful thank you very much.

    It was a question asked by many so I think this text is just what I need to help clarify to my friends.

  • SkipVought - In Reply on Numbers 8 - 5 years ago
    Dawn,

    Jesus stated, "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."Joh 5:39 and of Jesus it was recorded, "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." Luk 24:27

    There is a genealogy of Cain and his descendants, BUT this does NOT pertain to the Messiah. And there are other short genealogies in The Scriptures but they are recorded for other reasons. The MAIN genealogy, interestingly recorded centuries before Jesus and some of it not in The Scriptures but assiduously recorded by faithful Jewish scribes, was the Messianic genealogy through King David and his royal lineage.

    There is absolutely no evidence of the serpent seed. The serpent was embodied by Lucifer who was the murderer and lier from the beginning, "that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world."

    When Jesus stated, "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."Joh 8:44 He was not saying that they could trace their physical lineage back to the Devil any more than believers could trace their physical lineage back to God. EVERYONE's physical lineage goes back to Adam.

    Spiritually, we are either of God or of Satan.

    Makes sense! Thank you Adam. I am glad you are feeling better.

  • Adam - In Reply on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
    Hey Carleton, I suspect it just doesn't work for the books with a number in front.
  • Jesse - In Reply on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
    Deborah,

    I believe that when we die, our soul departs the physical body. The physical body remains in the ground and awaits the resurrection for a glorified body, but we go to be with the Lord. Paul even said that to be absent from the body (Physical death) is to be present with the Lord. So wherever the Lord is, that's where we will be until we come back with Him to receive our new glorified bodies.
  • Dawn Elizabeth Dodgen - In Reply on Numbers 8 - 5 years ago
    What?? Why would satan "scolded" Christ if Eve was impregnated by him (satan)? That would be like the man sitting across from me on the bus scolding me for my stepfather impregnating my mom - it makes no sense.
  • Carleton - In Reply on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
    Hi Adam, the live links to scriptures are always helpful. I am still trying to figure out how to do it every time the correct way.

    Thanks again, Carleton
  • Adam - In Reply on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
    Hello,

    1 Corinthians 15:51 - The dead will be sleeping awaiting Jesus's return, then will meet Him and await judgment.

    1 Thessalonians 5:10

    There's other verses echoing this if keep reading. Those who say people go immediately to heaven without Jesus coming or without judgment is inconsistent with scripture and I believe is just based on false assumptions about 2 other scriptures. People also feel better saying that at funerals, etc, so I think that's another reason for this commonly being said, despite scriptures not supporting it. This topic has been discussed before here if someone wants to search that. God bless.
  • Carleton - In Reply on Ephesians 3 - 5 years ago
    I think the purpose of the Church is to know the brethren well enough to wash each others feet and greet with a holy kiss on occasion and a place to marry in the faith and raise children to one day, where they may hopefully choose to live by the faith seen in their parent's lives. A place of reproof and correction. A refuge and a hope. A place of fellowship sweet. A place where peace is witnessed by living testimonies of one another. A place as you mentioned to worship the living God and praise His name by song and scripture and prayer. A place of order and rest and peace. The list could go on. So I think a sincere sojourner with a refreshed spirit by the Living Christ would seek this Church, the bride of Christ ahead of His return.
