Colossians 1:15, ,18 Who is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn of every created.

18. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

What is the Church Jesus built called according to the Bible

Smitty, the Scripture is unclear who this 'man' was, who wrestled with Jacob. You will need to make your own judgement as you pray for clarity. What we do know, it wasn't just a man, as he renamed Jacob to Israel = "as a prince hast thou power with God & with men, & hast prevailed". And this man refused to give Jacob his name, as well. And Jacob called that area, Peniel = "I have seen God face to face & my life is preserved". So if it was an Angel of the LORD, it could have been Michael. If it was God's Word, then we have another view of the pre-incarnate Christ (a Christophany). See these other references of such manifestations: Gen 18:1 ff; Gen 19:1; Dan 3:19-26. So, many believe that Jesus, the Word of God, was manifested in these pre-incarnate appearances, or it might have been an Angel of the LORD. Whoever it was, the Words spoken were from God & the Work done was an act of God. However, I do believe in the Trinity, i.e. Col 2:9, Godhead = 3 persons that shows God's Fulness.

It was his sister, we know this Genesis 5:4.

Who is the author of Hebrews?

Carolyn: 1 Kings 14 refers to Israel's first king, Jeroboam, after Israel was divided into two kingdoms: Judah & Israel. Now Jeroboam was a wicked king (reigned for 22 years), as were most of the kings of Israel (unlike the kings of Judah, who were generally God-fearing). One day Jeroboam's son, Abijah fell sick and Jeroboam's wife was sent by the king to visit Ahijah a prophet to learn the fate of their son. But rather than dealing with the son, the prophet said to tell the king some even sadder news. He recounted the evils of the king (vv 7-16). So part of that prophecy was the fate of Israel because of the king's wickedness: it would be distressed, rooted up from the land & scattered beyond the Jordan River, because they have angered the LORD with their idol worship as well. And we know, that eventually Israel was sent into captivity to Assyria, after another series of bad kings. There's no deeper meaning in that verse, except to remind his people to love & serve the LORD faithfully.

in Deuteronomy 3:26 why was God wroth with moses for wanting to step foot in Lebanon?

Pray, right now; everyone the Lord wrath is here. It started out asfloods and famine; now it's plagues. Our brothers and sisters that live for the pleasures of this world.born into sin shape out of iniquity. God is given everyone a chance to seek and find him, while he maybe found. Seek God face, do not get lost into what this world has to offer. Repent and pray turn away from your wicked ways and turn to the Lord. Or he will turn the lost over to a reprobate mind.

I am trying to get closer to God and I sort of need some help. Any advice? Scripture?

Thank you for your response. You will be hearing from me soon. It's so good to know of someone more mature in spiritual matters than I.

That is why we have freedom of religion in this country. You have every right to your interpretation to the scriptures.

However, my bubble remains intact. My faith is mine and is not subject to your interpretation. I have no desire to sway your opinion. You on the other hand seem unable to keep from forcing you own on others.

Being in transition of my purpose in life, my body is as assenital as the mind. So by far fasting is rebirth of the digestive system, so my ? is the consumption of pork now different from teachings of the old testament than new?

How many versions of king James bible have been published, and what is most recent?

REI: when you come into this website, go to the search box and type in 'murderers'. We are living in days when we have to know where the kids are every moment. You may be called strict, but that's better than struck with grief.

Can you folks see the tiny cryptogram in this chapter?

Sun - or the largest fire in our solar system - 5 times.

Earth - once.

Wind - twice.

Water - 3 times.

Earth wind fire and water were not the four ancient elements. They were the four ancient elementary mnemonics ancient man used to begin "being in the spirit" as John the Revelator did. God is trying to tell you how serious it is to have you yourselves teach yourselves to be "in the spirit". Only mentioned 11 times? Not serious enough for you?

In Genesis chapter one, these 4 mnemonics are mentioned 54 times. Is that serious enough for you?

Julee, essentially the 4 living beings of this chapter are identical - in many ways - to Isaiah's meeting with the 4 Seraphs, Daniel's dream of 4 beasts and of course as you mentioned the four beasts of John the Revelator from chapter 4 through chapter 6 as John the Revelator was "in the spirit". But what do they all mean?

4 faces - calf man lion eagle - just like the four faces of Brahma that the yogis used in conjunction with earth wind fire and water mentioned in Ecclesiastes and Genesis to begin "being in the spirit" as John the Revelator did. God merely wants you to practice "being in the spirit" with your temple of the Living God as in Rev. 11:1 as he asks you to take stock or yourself

Lesley, EVERYTHING in the first 11 chapters is addressed to you on an individual level in the present tense or present perfect tense. In this case Rev. 2:26-28 John the Revelator is talking to YOU Lesley and your own personal "one like unto the Son of Man" who when you overcome will rule your temple - the nations or your body - so that like the yogis had perfect control over their bodies. That is the promise. Sadly since it takes a lot of effort hardly any modern westerner will take the time. This is not for everyone. It is only for a select few who will make the effort.

Good luck Lesley.

Is insulting sin?

therefore - conjunction with verse 4 so this is the answer

Remember...fallen - figurative so not Garden of Eden. This First Love hasn't been done for millennia.

repent - not of sins - START doing this First Love by teaching yourself...

first works - chapters 1-11 of Rev. have the instructions to begin doing first works.

remove candlestick - at the gym you exercise voluntary muscles. John is asking you Christians to exercise the seven spiritual centers in the temple of God - see Rev. 11:1. Once you get good at being "in the spirit" as John was it will be your First Love. The one thing Jesus could not do without as He proved on the cross was not being in communication with the Father. It was His First Love!!

Everyone, good luck.

In Genesis 1:2, described that the earth was without form, and void; I wonder how was before this earthly condition? Was per-earth existed before formless earth or not? I don't think that Genesis 1:1-2 are not really true beginning for all things. Perhaps, that is beginning for men.

Who is the king of Tyre in true Ezekiel 28?

Verse 7 the letteth is a transitive verb there is no noun so you have to go back to whom is being spoken of. Just know this Rev 12 tells us Satan is kicked out of heaven TO DECEIVE the whole world and scripture tells us it's silent in heaven but woe to people on earth and then a supernatural stands up who can bring lightning or fire from the sky and he claims he is God return. Who do you think it is? He is a False messiah who is going to say follow me I will fly you away. Wait for the true Christ!

What are the fruits of righteousness ? Love, forgiveness, humility, joy, peace, patience, kindness, discernment, wisdom ?

who are the physical ISRAELITES in the earth today that must be sealed in the earth....????

I too find the genealogy of Jesus confusing. Matt 1:16 says Jacob is the father of Jesus but 1:20 says Joseph son of David. Which is father of Joseph Jacob or David?

Explain Ephesians 3:20

I may have a bit of a "revelation" here, no pun intended. I've been studying the End Times for around 30 years as a layperson off and on. I've always found the 1st Seal's White Horseman to be a bit puzzling. If he represents Conquest, then why is War the 2nd Seal? Wouldn't War typically be used to Conquer. Well, there is a difference between the White Horseman's Bow and the Red Horseman's Sword. The Bow is a Silent Weapon, far-reaching, and it is airborne, and can launch attacks in Secret. The world has been Conquered by the Coronavirus, and without War. It's name-sake "Corona" means Crown. Corona has 6 letters, and if you add them together they equal 66. And we are already hearing about plans to mark/track/vaccinate/implant the people for the sake of this virus, correct? And if you hear Trump refer to our Invisible Enemy, and the Q Anon people refer to a global Satanic Cabal... are we seeing the 1st Seal - A Silent Weapon for a Secret War, unleashed to Conquer the World?

The Bible ALONE teaches man has a body and a soul and a spirit = 3 parts = 1 man

Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let US make man in our image, after OUR likeness

Genesis 1:27 - So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 9:6 - Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

1 Thess 5:23 - And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Paul says spirit and soul and body)

Isaiah 10:18 - And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth. (Body and Soul different)

Isaiah 26:9 - With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within...

So IF one man is Body, Soul and Spirit which is 3 parts and God made man in HIS IMAGE

How many parts is God? 3?

Thank you. I am sure to read up on those chapters some more. I always heard YOGA is no good.

I would like to no where can I find coronavirus in king James Bible and read about it
