I love the Word of God and I trust the Word of God :)

He was physically human, having physical human DNA, Jesus wouldn't have been able to be killed if He wasn't flesh and blood. After His resurrection His body was indestructible, one resembling the son of man. His nature, all His thought and actions however were always the Spirit of His Father. John the Baptist said God gave Him the Spirit without measure.

Hi Ronald. According to Matthew 13:55,56, "Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?"

Since Jesus' birth as the Son of God wasn't the result of the procreation of Joseph & Mary but of Divine Seed, His birth had to be exceptional, both in terms of his dual Being as Human & Divine, but also in His relationship to His 'parents & siblings'. His four brothers & sisters (not told their number), could only ever be Jesus' 'half' brothers/sisters as they came into the world from the union of their parents, unlike Jesus coming from God, His Father, the Producer of that Holy Seed.

The questions then arise: did Jesus also have similar DNA (or, even genetic markers) as the other siblings or His Mother, or did Jesus' physical appearance have similarities to the others? Depending on where your understanding on this is (i.e. if Jesus' birth was wholly Divine with Mary only contributing to His human nurture, sustenance & delivery of the Babe from the womb; or, if Jesus' birth was half Divine & half human thereby giving Him both Sonship to God & man), you might have your answer. My belief is that Jesus' was wholly Divine for the simple reason that if He wasn't, then the sin nature (of Mary) would have been passed onto Him: & I don't understand that from Scripture. Others, might understand this differently.

I want you to be more specific about your reading. thank you God bless

when we die, do we go immediately to Heaven?

You are so right ,God and Jesus are always with us ,they will not ever leave us ,we are never alone ,the more we lean on them the more they support us ,may God bless you and keep you safe and happy and healthy and very close to Him .

Who are the four horsemen? Explain revelation 9:16

Hi Chris, I am stuck understanding another section.

Hi, I am working on Growth Journals and Lesson 5 addresses Discovering the Attributes of God. I am stuck on a question regarding Rev. 22:17. Specifically, why does God give us a choice, since He is soverign (rules over everything)?

Romans 4:16-22

Am really encourage by the verse

where did cain wife come from

To become as a child means innocent-without judgment-to perceive with open eyes. To observe without preconception...

Which Jesus? A Jesus that authorized corporate sin of Sunday sacredness? If sin is transgression of the Law and we love Jesus we are supposed to stop sinning through the power of Christ's spirit in faith.. Unbelief has made his bloodshed for naught because we refuse to obey him.. The 4th commandment contains the identity of the law giver making the law valid to stand in the heavenly court.. The mark of the beast crisis will ensnare weak Christians not fortified with the wall of zion..gods very character of LOVE.( the 10 commandments also known as THE COMMANDMENT).. When international Sunday law gets enacted to stem global warming people will be left with 2 choices.. Obey God or obey the commandments of men..( the wine of babylon) a mixture of truth and error..if we follow Christ it shows in our love one for another .. Romans 13:10

Parallel Verses

King James Version

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

This world is going through a turmoil never seen before-- but warned in the Bible. Do enjoy day to day what mankind will destroy, as our Mighty God looks down on the evilness that has come to a head around us. Is no one to see what is happening like l do

God's people will suffer now as Jesus did for man's sins, that had been in this world always. But has not turned God into action against us till now. He created nothing but beauty for his children. He Let His only begotten Son suffer for our Sins. But mankind destroyed it all. So now- His wrath will come down as never before. Get down every morning and evening Thanking The Lord for another day.

Open His warnings in our Bible.

Be ready to meet your Maker. Stay Strong in the Lord as you begin to Fight for His Rights all you that Believe. Stay Strong!!!

I don't get the naked story (Gen9)-why was Noah so angry??

I would get a 1978 New American Standard. I know it was much better. I have a Doctorate in Theology and worked almost a year getting the Bible in Modern English because so many young people I meet could not understand the KJV since what preachers are doing is using Dante's Inferno for its view of Hell instead of searching the scriptures to see that Hell does not exist in Hebrew, Aramaic, or Latin. It is a German and Old English word meaning a hidden place.

Alexander Rucker,

The honor and respect deserved, is conditional upon those leaders meeting the qualifications of "For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil." Too many leaders, regardless of whether in the church or government, embrace evil. And while the office they hold by the power of men deserves respect, all respect deserved and power over believers is dependent on what their character shows us. God defines for us those he has empowered to rule our affairs. Believers are not to yield to evil, but instead, resist even unto death of the body.

Danae, It is because ALL these people are written in the Lambs Book of Life,Rev.21:27. The statement is not TO saved and unsaved people. Any text our of context, is a pretext.

Chris, took a bible trivia quiz on this site and it asked the question , how many half brothers did Jesus have . the answer was 4. I was very surprised by this answer. I myself have 2 half sisters. one we share the same father and the other the same mother. Can you or anyone give me some insight into this ? confused!

There are no actual photos of earth from space in it's entirety. They are all composite photos pieced together from several photos, or are simply drawings and animation. This is fully explained by NASA representatives. "But its round, it has to be."

Is the direct quote from the guy who does it for a living. Many photos in NASA's vast library are complete composites. Many are not real. You can do this by running the images through a digital filter.

Luke 23:34. However, this wasn't the Lord's last words as you read through that chapter (see verse 46).

In the days of Moses or Biblical days were there 12 months in a year? How many days in a month were there in Biblical days? We celebrate Christ's birth in December of our calendar year but what would be the correct month according to the Biblical calendar year?

Your concern is real, but you & others facing this dilemma should proceed carefully. Give it time to see what the effects (in the short & long term) are. I know there's a lot of misinformation out there & this can increase worry to some folk. But I don't see anything sinister about this vaccine; I feel it is a genuine attempt to curb the virus' spread, without any DNA altering chemicals, etc.

However, like other new vaccines, only time will reveal its effectiveness, its durability, & any side effects. If you, or your family, by some chance get the Covid, then taking the vaccine & other medical help would be the prudent thing to do. Yet in this, as all things, we have to trust God for His protection, help & our recovery. Though nothing beats common sense & taking the necessary precautions when near others - the virus won't chase you or target you - one needs to go to it. Stay strong - trust the Lord.

Everything was orchestrated by GOD - including the spies ending up in Rahab's home.

GOD is not predictable. If you were to guess who HE will preserve in the whole of Jericho, would you even remember Rahab?

And, if the family of Rahab had been told that it is the one that has been marked as the black sheep of the family that GOD will use to save them, wouldn't they have laughed the messenger to scorn?

GOD is not predictable. So, learn not to judge anything and anyone before their time.

That's correct Sir. Our salvation is dependent on our faith in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross & nothing else attached to it. When we repent of our sins & God forgives, we are born again of His Spirit (i.e. baptized by the Spirit) through His indwelling & given a new start, new life & new power to live for Jesus. Subsequent to that mighty event, the believer begins his journey with an inward & outward testimony via water baptism.

When Jesus spoke those words in Mark 16:16, He spoke of the future salvation experience of those who come to Him via the Cross. If we want to associate water baptism as a requirement for salvation, two problems occur:

1. any act, even baptism, cannot contribute to a salvation by faith, or else salvation doesn't come through faith alone but with a fusion of both. So the person who says he believes & is then told that he has to be baptised to be saved, is immediately made to believe that an extra requirement is necessary to effect salvation. Then the question: what else am I required to do? Am I truly a Christian - supposing I've neglected to do something else? Jesus was simply stating that salvation requires belief (faith) only - baptism then as a natural immediate response. "But he that does not believe is damned": could we have a person who has been baptised & yet not truly 'believing'? Sure can. I know of a few, baptised, evidently spoke in 'tongues', etc. & now having rejected the Lord - no saving faith - no salvation, in spite of baptism & more.

2. what happens when one cannot be baptized: whether due to old age, serious illness, insufficient time between saving faith & baptism (i.e death has occurred), teaching of the Church or even a great passing of time from first believing. If baptism as well is necessary for salvation, then none of the above would have any hope of forgiveness & eternal life and could there be many living full victorious Christian lives who have never been baptised & are actually deceived & lost?

So Chris I hear you say we are saved and then get baptized mark 16 tells us he that believes and is baptized shall be saved not vice versa!

So which one is it God the father or christ you are confusing people mr. Trinitarian
