Verses 17 and 18-The circumstances were dire but even in those instances we can exult in Jehovah God and be joyful in the God of our salvation. Having a close friendship with God will help us to persevere.

The 1st set was made by God the 2nd set was made by God and man Typeof our Lord and savior Jesus cross

Thanks for your response and may God-bless you and your family always

Verse 15-Envy and contentiousness are characteristic of earthly humans who are alienated from God and they are animalistic in the lack of spirituality. It is demonic or evil in that it is characteristic of demons who are proud and ambitious.

Our Christian walk is step by step - day by day.

There are many good comments by some folks here, so I won't say too much as it would probably be redundant.

I would like to suggest reading Psalm 73 with regards to our worldly enemies who we perceive as getting away with their sins.

"Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end." Psalms 73:17

Their end is eternal damnation.

Verse 6- We can learn a lot from the animal and insect creation no matter how small.

Hello Frank, Sorry, I think I called you Mike in a response I made to you but am unable to find now.. :) I just discovered this bible discussion site and have not learned how to access responses even though I'm told to go to a certain numbered thread... do you think it was odd that Jesus spent 2 days with what you are saying were believed as dogs with the many of them believing he was the Christ prior to his leaving their city?

Verse 21-Ears are sometimes used in a figurative way in the Bible. We can hear God's voice by reading the Bible and also by those in congregation who teach from the Bible.

Can angles and humans have children?

Are these children the giants of Genesis 6:2-4?

Verse 16-We must stay united and cooperate within the Christian congregation in order to function properly.

Verse 28-The ability to move and use our bodies was a gift given to us by God.

Who was Philip.

Verse 9-Our loving God has created the eye so that we can see in many beautiful colors and the ear so that we can hear various sounds.

Jesus was appointed to preach to the Jews first. The Samaritan woman was considered Gentile.

The gospels show that on occasion, He did speak of ministry to certain Gentiles.

Verse 2-Jehovah God invites us and wants us to examine the things that he has made. We can learn much about God from creation.

Verse 11-We must learn to control our emotions and not say everything that comes to our mind. We want to explain ourselves in a calm manner.

"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat

She has her eyes on death but sees the tree good for food.

Genesis 2:17

"But 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."

Genesis 2:18

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

God wants good for man.

John 8:23



"And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world."

James 1:17

King James Version

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Ephesians 1:18

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

Proverbs 4:20-27.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 | View Chapter | Context

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

John 1:1

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Verse 22-Parents have the responsibility to train their children, but children are expected to listen to the good advice and training from their parents.

Verse 24 and 25 show that when parents have trained their children in the discipline of Jehovah God and they have children that have followed their advice, they rejoice over the outcome of their children.

Verse 23-We must take the time to try and understand why people say or act in a certain way before we speak to them. This can help us to have wise speech if we just think before we speak.

Mark 1:23 Christ confronts and exposes Satan. Christ finds the evil one in the congregation of the temple. There are many who profess they know him ,but when actually confronted by the truth will run for the nearest exit. That is the effect the true word of God will have on a sinner, Not unlike the demon that resided in this individual. Christ moves first in the direction of the church, even the house of Israel. Finding the prince of darkness residing in the hearts of men. Hidden as it were in the very synagogue. Satan cannot do anything when uncovered by the word of God. He knows who God is, He knows that He is the God of the most high! That Jesus is the Holy one of God!

thank you MY LORD and thank you for the opportunity to study the word thank you for the comments thank you for sharing Matthew Henery thank you for allowing me to have my free time and space to be with and in the presence of our HOLY TRINITY

Verse 3-Children are an inheritance from God and as such they must be taken good care of and treated and viewed the way God views children.

Verse 18-Eve was to be a complement and as such she would have qualities that would work really well with Adam's qualities.

Notice that the children of Israel are depending on an "It" to save them. Meaning the Arc of the Covenant. Notice that didn't work too well! It was not until they saw the errors of their ways and ask the Almighty God to save them did things turn around. I think this is a good message for today. We as a nation put too much emphasis on the "It's" of the world to secure us. Social Security, Insurance, Retirement, 401K's, etc. We need to lift our eyes upon the Lord and Savior and ask him to heal our land and put in the minds of our leaders to praise the God of all creation. Then, "HE" not "IT" will save us and heal our land.

What it says to me is what we are living in today. Lots of people God calling home. We came in this world by ourselves, if your not a twin. The good person will be taken and the bad left to get themselves right or continue to live in hell. It used to be my moma and dad now its just mom God called him to rest until that final day comes.

Joseph how many taken of our total population

Genesis 1 line 27 explain for Genesis 2 line 22 explain

Dear Anna,

One cannot be sure God did not send Trump to guide this country at this time ...didn't God send Paul (the persecutor and killer of Christians) to become an apostle and to preach to the Gentiles?

Jesus speaks about not judging and accusing others. In the example below many wanted to accuse a woman for adultery.

John 8:7

"So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

God Bless.

Larry, I've also thought over this dilemma as well over the years, and the only answer I can offer is that in fact we all suffer in one form or another. I know you specifically mentioned physical pain & suffering & that is one part of the whole. Sometimes, emotional pain & mental anguish can come under the same umbrella of physical suffering that each one faces in life. And their severity can be as harsh & painful as the physical.

You may be thinking of a special instance of some going through the mill with pain while others appear to be free from it. As you may agree, since we are all sinners & suffer the effects of it (whether in the physical, spiritual, emotional or mental spheres), I don't believe that anyone can sail through this life without pain in some form. It is true that some do suffer far more than others, but all do suffer & then finally have pain's last stab at us at the cessation of this life.

The Psalmist, Asaph, in Psalm 73 spoke of a similar dilemma, "Why do the wicked go through life without pain (v 5), speak against God (vv 9, 11) & live in prosperity (v 12)?" His answer: "Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors." (vv 18, 19). He saw their end (their eternal suffering) as far worse as opposed to those (who suffer in this life) but have their trust in the Lord. So pain experienced in life to the Psalmist was transitory - the pain of being estranged from God after death is eternal.

I enjoy reading the bible
