There is no formula. The reason all three of the Godhead are mentioned in Matt 28:19 is because the Jews immersed three times. Today we do it once. But the Jews would dunk three times for baptism. They don't why, except Jesus said when you immerse three times, one's in the name of the Father, one's in the name of the Son, and one's in the name of the Holy Spirit. Guess who changed it Constantine! He said if Jesus told them to do it three times, we're only going to do it once just to be different. That's why Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is used in Matt 28:19. But in Acts 2:38, they baptized in the name of Jesus. So now we have this big battle over baptisms, one is Jewish, and one is Gentile.

What does the verse 4 mean in Hebrews chapter 6

Fred, the points you share are very valid & indeed, with prayer and being in tune to what the Spirit is saying or guiding us in, is paramount. Yet, though the other difficulties presented by using the Interlinear are real, the student does have the opportunity to read the direct translations from the original language (providing faithful manuscripts are being used). It has helped me a lot & caused me to be less dogmatic & judgemental when a Scripture is simply not clear & when the Spirit hasn't given further Light. E.g. 1 Cor 15:29, in reference to 'baptism for the dead'. Unless the Spirit enlightens us or Paul arrives to give us his thoughts, we will always have dispute over this verse.

Any time to witness & pray for all people should be a burden on a believer's heart. And particularly in times of national/world crises, this matter becomes all the more important. The basis of a prayer request is a child of God's cry to the Father imploring Him to act. We know God Hears if we ask in faith (Js 1:6), with a clean heart ( Ps 24:3-5), & according to God's Will ( 1 Jn 5: 14,15): all criteria need to be met. So the pastors who received a Word from God: is it to pray for believers' insulation from the virus or to remove the virus Should we ask also, "why has this come upon us at this time & what is God saying to us through this" May the Spirit help us to pray rightly ( Rom 8:26).

Christianity of course began with Jesus Christ and after His death, resurrection & ascension into Heaven. The word 'Christian' was at first a derogatory term given by unbelievers to this new 'religious' following: people of The Way ( Acts 9:2, 24:14): in reference to the (new) way they lived. They were also called 'Christians', or Christ's ones/people, first in Antioch ( Acts 11:26). We continue to be called Christians today as just another religious group. But unlike other 'religious' groups, it is only through faith & trust in Jesus Christ, we receive new life (a re-birth), whereas in other religions, they have to apply self effort or self pain to try to gain God's favour & paradise. Sad.

The parable is about making decisions that leave you Places to work/live uninterrupted by poverty/homelessness/slavery. Accused of inefficiency, "wasting" in a competitive world (happens in business). He believed the accounting would not show him efficient. So while he still had authority he gave discounts, thus making obligatory friends in his business category. The master commended because he instantly went from cautionary tale, to glowing example of success, not even losing step, and because he thought through and made a stellar business decision, rather than reacting/fretting; when he could surely have easily preoccupied in the potential doom/gloom.

God requires to use common sense .The last thing the church needs is to be accused of martyrdom.Or irresponsibility toward our fellow man. Is it not bad enough that the war we wage is against spiritual sin and death and our own salvation. Anyone gathering together during this time of uncertainty is clearly wrong. Satan is the great deceiver, even deceiving the very elect. Proverbs 3;6 In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy ways.

L you shall find that usually in the king James that when you run across an unusual word that in the context it shall explain what it means esp when used for the first time. The Websters 1828 dictionary is also a useful resource online or in print. He was a believer and a linguistic word scholar who knew the Biblical languages of Hebrew and Greek.

The night before reading this, I woke up from a dream and I heard "peculiarly or perfectly perpendicular".

As I was reading Amos, the word plumbline stood out, never heard the term used before so I looked it up. Then searched for perpendicular and when I seen the definition of one of the descriptions as being plumb, I got so excited! I had been praying for YHWY to send me a word and He did.

When God said He was setting a plumb line among His people, He was declaring an end to their attempts to justify their crooked ways. The Lord was setting the standard.

We need to line up our lives according to God's plumb line rather than than our own agenda. We are God's peculiar people.

FAUSTO: in the KJV Bible, most of the chapters give a brief historical comment on what was happening; some mention the writer of them. There are reference Bibles that have a lot more information.

I used to skim through too lol, but now I read those first.

I heard a radio preacher say today that the church is being given a huge opportunity to witness, evangelize and pray for people.

A week ago a group of pastors prayed and a word of knowledge was given that our faith can stand against corona virus.

If enough people were praying the same thing...God watches over His Word to perform it. Intercessory Prayer works. It's happened in the past in this country. It's on record. What's your take on this

For Peter: in Genesis 1:26..and God said, LET US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness; and let them have dominion (over everything on earth) EXCEPT other man. No place did he give people dominion over each other. LET US means that Father, Son, Holy Spirit we're doing the creating. Adam was spiritually connected to God. Eve was made not from the earth initially; she was made from Adams rib. After Adam and Eve sinned the spiritual connection was severed. They had to leave the garden of eden. We descended from them: soul and flesh. Mankind waited for the Savior & Redeemer to appear in history. Being born again reconnects is to God, spiritually. This is how I learned it. Anybody else

What does it mean in Palsms 91 Noisome pestilence

For Howard Dishmon: I went through that with my Dads death. We were real close. I would wear his shirts and pray to die. If it's not our time, it's not. Slowly I joined the living again. One night I had a dream, in color. It's never faded. He was walking towards me down our family home driveway. He was young, smiling with that eye twinkle I loved. I woke up. Later it was like God had shown me that my Dad was with Him and not destroyed by Alzheimer's anymore. Life continues but our loved ones wait for our arrival there. Why would God break their hearts by allowing loved ones see us struggle, on earth Live. Stay close to God. Ask the Holy Spirit to come alongside you & comfort you.

I love the story of Moses it's true and amazing how God can do all these miracles.

70 x 7=490 she put 7 x7 it's 7 x 70

I have written letters that have been inspired by the holy Spirit. I have a high school edu. Amazing, while reading the old testament I have seen words that I have used without knowing it! Remember Jesus chose 12 men with pure hearts. That is all you need is a pure heart that loves Jesus. He will make the rest happen! Paul not unlike yourself was a pharisee of all pharisees. A levite of the tribe of Benjamin! He will use you to!

If you think the kjv is difficult reading the interlinear isn't any easier written by George Ricker Berry. The revelation of scripture is conquered through prayer. I have read the KJV since the beginning. In the late 1950 the revised standard version made its first appearance since than we have many,many more. I read the bible literally, for what it says. The holy spirit must not be dictated too. I 'm sorry that you have a hard time with it! But remember why should it be easy It is after all the word of God! Their are many preachers who are making a living today using other texts. If you can get enough church's agreeing on 1 interpretation ,why not have 1 church Remember the hid leaven

I have a question.

"... male and female created..." "...he them."

So if he/them is actually a dynamic, or dichotomy,(the age old us vs them battle) ,instead of the face value, simple translation I have always interpreted as ancient people talking funny and putting words in the wrong place.

so god made man, then made woman and when male and female communed they made god in the world instead of just above"

I'm trying to unlearn and relearn. Anyone have any ideas

I would like to thank you people who took their time money hard work to establish this site. It has really been a blessing to me

Thank you very, very much!

Trevor : Jesus is all Thur the Gospel! Read Acts Chapter 10. The centurion find's the way! Read Acts chapter 2.About 20 nationality's were given the truth! Peter in Vs 14 -38! 38-,says repents and be baptized in the name Of Jesus Christ This is the plan of salvation St. John 1: 1-18! Colossians 2:8,9,10-12!

So my first assumptions were wrong. Adam was the first man and the first living soul; but when he sinned; there was danger of him losing his soul That is what I should have thought about and compared with rather than with animals and with Adam before he became a living soul; and there isn't anything in the Bible as far as I know about anything having a soul before or even after except for man. That doesn't necessarily mean that nothing does as all it really means is that is not mentioned, if in fact, it is not.

and I agree with what you said in that regard; but there is far more to the Living soul and the Garden of Eden, in direct communication & obedience to their Creator, I think, than we realize. For example:

For example Man was created to replenish the earth Genesis 1:28; and Adam was blessed and told this and had dominion and could subdue all those other things as soon as he was created; That's intelligence; and if God give you something to do, you can do it. Adam started to do these things along with Eve as soon as she was created, and called woman.

( Heb 2:9) so interesting, and Jesus, in the image of man without sin, felt unbearable pain as He died for our sins. We all fear such pain and hope to die easy; and how interesting, that if God and or the angels were to come down to earth, the image that they would have taken, stands on 2 legs, has 2 arms etc, but was created a little lower than the angels and when you think about it; the reason is obvious as if he wasn't created lower; then we would all be angels but it's not bad being a little lower, we are all born very good just a little lower than the angels; however, in regard to the living soul, I thought the same as you, until I started to wonder what a living soul was; and I agree wi

Acts Chapter 7: 35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge the same did God send [to be] a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and [with] our fathers: (this is saying the CHURCH was with Moses)

He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty. The secret place or hiding place is for those that are in the will of God. It is a place where the wicked cannot harm the righteous. It is place of safety in under the very presence of God. God is our refuge' a very present help in trouble. The secret place will protect you from COVID 19. If we are willing we will eat the good of the land. No matter what what happens on earth, " The earth is the LORD"s." God is still sovereign. He is still supreme. Let us all strive to stay in the will of God-and if we are not in His will- get in it; for the best, for the people of God, is yet to come

Can I say this prayer for intercessorry prayer for a family member

When reviewing COVID-19 (January 2020) specifications through local news media, this particular Scripture came to mind. The Webster Dictionary defines Corona as a faint glow adjacent to the surface of an electrical conductor at high voltage. This is radiation in the air basically, and very harmful to humans. Can this electrical current be manipulated to control humans by an individual In these end-times, I suspect it's the silent killer, and the bioengineered pandemic the world is currently experiencing. I'm just a layperson, but tremble to think that someone or something weaponized this virus, blamed it on China, and is laughing at the confused medical world to avoid detection.
