@D.J, it's like you are not the kind of person to provide answer to my questions. You make reference of Gen. 3:21 which only tells us about the Lord God making "coats of skin (animals wool/skin) for their clothing and not literal flesh or augmentation of the already existing physical human body. I think I've got the understanding of this verse. It's simply that MAN DID NOT KNOW SHAME. There was no one that they could have been shied in front of. It was after the eating of the Tree of Good and Evil that their eyes were exposed to "shame", in the presence of the subtle serpent (the devil). Research shows that there are people of this nature that still exist in some parts of the world who live in the wild.

To Membranes,

You are correct. Membrane is not a word found in the Bible.

But nobody said it was in the Bible, and who cares what google says.

Not sure where you are going with the "female" statement.

Adam and Eve were not angels of light. They were human.

The skin that was added to cover their nakedness was animal skin. This was the first blood sacrifice for the remission of sin. I believe it was a ram. that was slain.

Read Gen 1:28. God made male and female and told them to be fruitful and multiple.

Patience you speak of is before us, waiting for us! Thank you for your words!

Dear Andy, What I have very recently written is my testimony.

My love to you reaches St John's and Halifax and surrounding farm lands to this very hour. Songs are being sung, widows are being visited, love is being shared in hospitals, and grain is likely now in harvest.

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Will all men come to repentance? Even if you are able to raise pharaohs bones for a witness, you will see the hardness in mans heart!

Please consider the following as you refuse to accept God's 'Life' giving message.

God unites His people (the believers) by His Spirit ( John 4:24; Eph. 4:3-6,13).

Luke 9:56. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.

Matthew 11:6. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me ( Isa. 8:14; Matthew 13:57; 24:10; 26:31; Rom. 9:32; 1 Cor. 1:23; 2:14; Gal. 5:11; 1 Peter 2:8).

John 3:19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Luke 11:22. But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

1 John 4:4-6. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he than is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice ( John 8:47; 18:37).

You search the scriptures for in them ye think that ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life ( John 5:39,40).

He that is spiritual judgeth (discerneth) all things, yet he himself is judged by no man ( 1 Cor. 2:15).

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true ( Proverbs 1:7; 10:8,21; 12:15; 13:20; 14:9; 16:22; 18:2; 20:3; 29:11; Luke 18:10-14; Cor. 1:20; 2:14; 15:36).

We regret that you are not able to understand any of the above ( 1 Cor. 2:14; 2 Cor. 7:10). Notwithstanding: Seek and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

Don't let your self-righteousness stand in the way of your salvation ( Romans 10:2-4).

In His Service.

1 John 5:6 what is meant by Jesus being born of water and blood? I recently heard a teacher use this verse to explain how heavenly bodies do not have blood. And that this is proof that Adam had water as his circulatory system before the fall and after he had blood which made him mortal. Is there any other verses that reference this topic?

Dear Andy, I have beheld the Lamb of God and have heard God Almighty's Voice speak to me directly.

hello, so in verse 17 where it reads "and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written"

does that mean we are given a new name?

or what is the new name he's referring too?

On CALIFORNIA FIRES

The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).

The recent interpretation of 'the hedge around Job' is a good example. While the word of God clearly explains its true meaning, the interpretation was self-serving and totally misleading.

MATTHEW 18:19,20

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

It is clear as the people in California have been praying for the fires to cease, that their prayers are not answered and are all in vain ( Matthew 15:9). Unless you are blind it is obvious that they have not been asking for anything in His name - Jesus Christ, as they worship and serve an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).

Our message therefore remains the same: Ye must repent.

The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17).

It is only by revelation of God that you will come to know Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1).

In His service.

On EPHESIANS 4:14

The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and not for any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). If it records in Rev. 12:9 that this whole world has been deceived, it did not speak of a particular country, group of people, person or religion, it meant the whole world.

For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom ( 2 Cor. 11:13-15) this whole world has been deceived and what mankind must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting), is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and there seems to be a great misconception what the true 'spiritual' meaning of the word is. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.

Only through Repentance will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1) and reveal to you how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and overcome this world ( 1 John 5:4).

The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It should also be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:1

Ozias is the Greek form of Uzziah. Uzziah means "My strength is Jehovah".

Joatham is the Greek form of Jotham. Jotham means "Jehovah is perfect".

Achaz is the Greek form of Ahaz. Ahaz means "Possessor".

Ezekias is Greek for Hezekiah. Hezekiah means "Strengthened of Jehovah".

If you can remember the amount of time the apostle Paul spent by himself, After his revelation and conversion. He was in the desert 14 years! 14 years man, he conferred with no one. Also enough time for people to forget who he was. Just when you think you may think you have it all together, remember the time Paul spent in repentance and separation from those he persecuted! This man who had a "HEAD" knowledge, and yet he learned obedience unto Christ!

The kingdom is ever before us! I pray I could see Him as he is in this flesh! The same way the angels proclaim to the disciples, "the way you have seen Him leave, is the way you will see him return!" The glory that you speak is all around us in him! Stephen saw him! Even while he was dying! God be with you always!

Jesus said you must be born again. But paul said we are adopted. Jesus never mentioned adoption. Please explained.

Luke 11:13

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Comment: if we need help understanding scripture, their is no limit on asking the Holy Spirit to teach you what something means.

By all means, be reverent (honor Him).

If you study a lot; over time your relationship with the Holy Spirit will be free flowing, enjoyable, desirable. It will make your heart ache with love for Him.

He is part of the Godhead that created everything! And He wants to sit with You! And teach you what scripture means. Write it down. Don't allow the cares of life take away His words to you.

Jesus went to the Cross to bring salvation to us. He also gave us the Holy Spirit: who is the Spirit of Christ. Jesus.

Jesus is the HEAD of the Body of Christ. We are members of His Body. Which part are you? I used to listen to others guess the parts amongst us. Funny talk. One day a friend looked at me and said, you're a forefinger. That hurt me. That was 30 years ago. Be who God made you to be. You are unique. We are His Body on earth.

Think about that.

Go to the top Search Box, and type: angels. It's a lot to read. Angels are real. They report to God. You may ask God for angelic assistance?

They are also called: ministering spirits.

Few people agree who the 2 Witnesses are.

Long time ago I thought it would be Moses and Elijah = the Law and the Prophets.

I believe through the internet everyone on earth will see the Two Witnesses on their tv or YouTube.

Be born again; and use your TESTIMONY and tell others how you came to believe.

Each individual testimony is powerful and if you give your testimony to the Lord of the Harvest (Jesus); he will lead you to people who are ready to hear the GOSPEL (virgin birth, sinless life, Crucifixion and death; and the Resurrection of Jesus.

Just like in here.... have a comment you can add, to what someone expounds on a subject. It's that easy. Almost everyone will accept being prayed for. Why? Because life hurts often and everyone needs hope.

Love turned inward is ego. Love turned outward, is Jesus.

The word Membrane, is not in the Bible. Google has no membrane teaching from the Bible either.

If we cannot back something up in the scripture, it is a teaching you need to let go. Don't teach that to others.

The female body was created with a hymen. To prove virginity; and to prevent disease.

Cursing the Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin.

1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Yes if a person rejects the Holy spirit in his life and continues evil living without repenting or doesn't even care he can loss salvation. But that's up to God who knows everything in a persons heart God is the only true judge.

Assembling of people means church not a building, in the days of Jesus Christians got together in homes. Now days we have the internet, cell phones, Bible studies, churches people coming together . the list is endless God bless you .

God saw the end times at the beginning caused confusion amongst a united group that had planned to rebel against Him, the beginning of Antichrist. He still does it today. God help us be willing to learn from you that we will not miss heaven. Genesis 11 is an eye opener of what is to take place at the end of our life; the rebellious will inherit hell and the righteous will inherit eternity with God!

Keep the faith continue to pray with a loving heart God knows everything and he hasn't forgotten you he loves you . I will pray for in the spirit let your example show others you are a child of God bless you.
