Bible Discussion Replies PAGE 1939

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Interesting that the Lord God commanded the man, before he gave him woman. That being said, the woman would sin against him, being the one to give her the result of partaking of the fruit. The Lord then had a way to crush the head of the snake, giving Christ Jesus entrance to the salvation of mankind.

Vance,

I am not prepared to tackle your question in full without doing a little reading myself.

I did have a question for you though. Were you in the Air Force back in the early 80's?

I was stationed at Minot AFB from 1979-1984 and worked with a Vance Galbraith. Just curious!

Hello Charles,

I don't really understand the previous post of "name the twelve apostles". If you'd like to know where they are listed in the Bible let me know.

About how they all died I have spent a little time researching. I have a simple answer for you. One apostle, Judas Iscariot, committed suicide(hung himself) after betraying Jesus. Only one died of natural causes, probably old age, John son of Zebedee. All of the other ten disciples/apostles of Christ were killed or martyred.

God Bless.

Also Ingrid Li, please refer to God with upper case G, it shows honor. God bless you

To Ingrid Li,

Notice God did not mentioned to Adam the tree of life until after Adam ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And no, it was not the tree of wisdom. Wisdom is achieved through knowing good and evil, and understanding is to know the difference.

You can more understanding this if you realize that Adam and Eve were both void of understanding which can only be achieved by knowing that the opposite of good is evil. Did you know that there are good and evil spirits? And that God created them both? You can find this in ISAIAH 45:7. God is the creator of both things seen and unseen. He, God created evil. He did so for a purpose, to give us knowledge and understanding so we can be wise to know God. I can go on forever on this, but I don't want to bore you or anyone else, so I'll stop here. God bless you

ROBIN,

Use upper case G for God, it shows honor. God bless you

RONBIN,

Alcohol is a spice to be used in drinks and food and also as a preservative. But like everything else, anything in excess can lead to abuse and death. It's the same with Adam and Eve. God command Adam to take care of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but Adam went and did more, he eat the fruit. So use it according to its purpose and proportion and all will be well with you, your neighbors and most importantly, God. God bless you

In heb.6:4 to me sounds as if they who have tasted of the goodness & become apostate then that to me sounds like blasphemy of the holy spirit if they can no longer be or repent after once being enlightened and then they cannot go to heaven does that sound like apostacy is blasphemy not denying the woos of the holy spirit & never asking jesus to be their lord & savior, but having once being a believer in christ then denying everything that the holy spirit has revealed to a person & then becoming saved then to do a 180 & never being able to return to the goodness of god they once tasted , the holy spirit (heaven). that's the same punishment as a non believer & never coming to the knowledge of jesus christ & all he has to offer in this life & the next.

CARLETON,



Yes, by God's strength and mercy, not my strength. God bless you

CINDY,

Yes Ms. Cindy, but still the moral of the story is, on judgement day when all sins have ran its course, God will take all His chosen ones, male and female, from this earth to the New Heavens and New Earth, and will destroy this earth and all in it with fire and brimstone. God bless you

Hello, thank you for responding to my question, what you said makes sense. I just want to be closer to God and our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you again!!

I am deeply grateful for this website in which I can read and listen to God's word. I often use it to learn the passage for Bible class in school the next day.

If one is hungry and yet trying to fast, a little salt on the end of the tongue may take that hunger pain away. Our lusts or vain proceedings may also be constrained by a little salt on our conversation and that salt is God's love shared by his believers to others in love also.

God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son- John 3:16

Wondrous Love

Martha M. Stockton

1821-1885

God loved the world of sinners lost, And ruined by the fall; Salvation full at highest cost, He offers free to all. O 'twas love, wondrous love! The love of God to me; It brought my Savior from above, To die on Calvary.

Even now by faith I claim Him mine, The risen Son of God; Redemption by His death I find, And cleansing thro' His blood. O 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love! The love of God to me; It brought my Savior from above, To die on Calvary.

Believing souls, rejoicing go, There shall to you be given A glorious foretaste here below, Of endless life in heaven. O 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love! The love of God to me; It brought my Savior from above, To die on Calvary.

Of victory now over Satan's power, Let all the ransomed sing And triumph in the dying hour, Thro' Christ, the Lord, our King. O 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love! The love of God to me; It brought my Savior from above, To die on Calvary.

Hi darren ,i chose sacha as my user name because it can be a male or female name and i belive people talk to you differently depending on your gender and on theirs of course ,i tried once to read a Bible commentary when i first started reading but i didnt even get half way through it ,it was drivle ,the Bible interprets itself ,i would love to know exactly what everything means and be able to remember it all chapter and verse but i know thats not going to happen ,i content myself with reading it every day ,i am crazy about the old testament ,Isaiah is the bees knees for me ,literally every chapter is fantastic ,it truely is meat and drink for the soul , keep up the good work please ,your post are thought provoking and interesting and appreciated ,sometimes they are even funny !

Hey Stewart, Sorry for any confusion. If you study from Matthew 21-28, Mark 11-15 Luke 19-22 John12-13 This covers after Jesus rode into Jerusalem to when he was crucified. You can study and decide for yourself what day Jesus was crucified. Remember a Jewish day starts and ends at sundown. Here is a few verses may help. Read Luke 22:15-16 and John 18:28. One thought if Jesus was crucified on Wednesday the next day would be the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, that would be a holy day and they could have gone to the tomb on Friday.

The day Jesus was crucified is a discussion that should not cause division or confusion so, let the Spirit lead you and the scriptures interpret the scriptures for yourself, what we do is done unto the Lord.

God bless, Ron

Hi Adam ,how are you doing ? We are all missing you ,please come back as soon as you feel up to it .

Thank you Vince! Most important now that we not turn back from our commitment in Jesus Christ.

You're right. My bad. It was the sons-in-law who refused to leave. Said sons-in-law were betrothed to Lot's daughters and the girls were virgins when they left.

Was the first fruit ONLY the first offspring of the livestock or the first young livestock of the year. The first oil produced in a new oil press or first of the year? Same question on fields, winepresses, New vineyard or orchard or first crop of year?

Thanks for the reply. One more question. Is drinking alcohol a sin?

HOW did the twelve apostles die and were are they buried

Name the twelve apostle's

Isaiah 59:1-3 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

Malachi 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Isaiah 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

Are we not seeing the beginning of sorrows? A sickness, even the death, now the surrounding of the house of stone! The freedom surrounded by a fence even unto Moab? What will be next? Will there be repentance, while we watch the Pope kneel before the prince of darkness! Or perhaps the same sickness will come forth in our seeds that give the nourishment of the corn and even the wine? Yes these are the beginning of sorrows! Turn and repent unto the God, oh Moab! So thou might be saved. Your redeemer lives! Their is salvation in none other!

Good morning all, it is the first day of the week. And it is lovely.

Jude 1:3

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Seedtime and Harvest

Charles E. Orr

1861-?

For in due season we shall reap, if we faint not- Gal 6:9

As pilgrims and strangers we journey through life, Thro' sunshine and shadow thro' calm and strife, Each day we are scattering seed as we go; Someday 'twill be harvest- " we reap what we sow."

Tho' weary and warn and alone in your way, And storm clouds are gathering and dark is your day, Weep not, toiling one, neither faint as you go; The harvest is nearing- "we reap what we sow."

Tho' life may appear as a cold, barren waste, And comes no return of the bread you have cast, Continue to do loving deeds as you go; The harvest is nearing- "we reap what we sow."

We'll reap what we sow when the harvest is come, Someday we shall garner the deeds we have done, Then heed not the storm nor the cold winds that blow, Toil on till the harvest- "we reap what we sow."

To Cindy,

Also Cindy, Lot and his family were not willing participants to leave the city life. God's salvation plan does not includes willing participants, HE draws and leads just like HE draws and leads Lot and his family out of the city. God bless you

Hello Carleton.

Notice out of both cities only one man was saved, LOT? What that say to us? It says none were God fearing including Lot and Lot's family. It's God and His great mercy saved them. Same with us. No one deserves God's salvation, but because of His great LOVE and MERCY he choose to save many. He choose them before the world began. God bless you

From Every Stormy Wind

Hugh Stowell

1799-1865

From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm , a sure retreat; Tis found beneath the mercy seat.

There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads, A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood bought mercy seat.

There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend Tho' sundered far, by faith they meet A- round one common mercy seat.

Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed Or how the host of hell defeat, Had suffering had no mercy seat?

There, there on eagle wings we soar, And sin and sense molest no more; And heaven comes down our souls to greet, While glory crowns the mercy seat.

God is good his love is amazing god is a healer,listener,faithful,never does he cheat god is very forgiving god he isine and I am he,s thank u god for all the things you did for me ur grace and mercy is all I need
