I've been having this question for a long time now. Was there sweets, chocolate, and treats back then? If not, does that mean everybody was thin until they were added into the universe? Also, is transgendering against the bible?

this is my life verse :-

Be reconciled to thy brother: Agree with thine adversary quickly while thou art in the way with him: lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Acts 2:38 The plan of salvation

Job didn't sin by blaming God, but you do? God allowed Satan to test Job. While God views all life as precious, He likely has a different perspective than us regarding life on Earth- we view it as the most important thing ever, yet is described as so temporary it's a vapor James 4:14, and Philippians 1:21. If the children went straight to paradise in heaven do you feel that is "unloving"?

Hi Thomas, that's great that you're reading the Bible and seeking God's truth. Why not just ask God through prayer for wisdom and discernment to know what you should take literally? It's true that Jesus often spoke using parables which are allegorical stories to influence and make a point. There are obvious metaphors in the Bible too: John 6:54 - we don't literally eat Jesus' flesh and blood, etc.

God is Total Love. His Compassion is so Strong-- it helps us to take His Strength when we need it to move any mountain -and stand as a rock when we ask for His help. Evilness stands close..But your Father in Heaven gives us His Blessed Light of His Love to keeo us Safe!!!

Do you wake up and start rushing into the day-- no thought of time to read and pray for your Father in Heaven to lead you. I use too. Long ago l let the world of Satan take me for a ride. Forgetting and stress led me beside his side. His Evilness destroying me every which way. I now turn to God each morning when l wake, to take my burdens for the day. I now walk in the valley with Him by my side!

Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the Scripture says in vain, The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy? God resists the proud but gave grace to the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he shall lift you up. Speak not evil one of another brethren.

Also Tutus, Jas 5:11,12. We don't forgive God--He will forgive us of those who believe NOT and what our Lord has done for His children.

Thomas Hills IV-- Job 1:1, 6-12 Job 2:1-6. Satan said he could have Job eating out of his hand turn him away from God. God told Satan to have a try but save his life. This was to show Satan how Job loved worshiped God. Job suffered but never lost faith in the lord. Satan lost. No old time tale--the bible is true correct.

You are so right Anne.- Mat 19:24 reflects that.

Most popular Psalm to me. Compare this Psalm with Jesus Christ ,the "Good Shepherd" who gave His life for us His "sheep" . Jesus said " I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out my hand" John 10:11,27,28 .

Compare verse 7b with "The name od the LORD is a strong tower, the righteous runs into it and is safe." Proverbs 18:10 .

As Helen Morris said of psalms 91 it's my Protection and Comfort. I recite the scriptures every day!!

God is the greatest deliverer verse 8 .

God is the pillar that holds my life verse 8b .

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus unto them saying I am the light of the world he that followth me shall not walk in darkness,but shall have the light of life. Genesis 1:3 John 1:4 You have the light in your life you will always over come any situations in your life amen.

Verses 11and13 show that God factor is absolutely important .Man proposes but God disposes. Verses 11and13 can be compared with 1Samuel1:9b "...for by strength shall no man prevail."

Amen the Lord is always with me in my journey

Amen with God all things are possible.

In these restless days of so many loud voices, this Psalm is good to memorized and affirm to ourselves at all times, and to all others who shake with fear. Our God is GOOD, ALL the time. He is FAITHFUL! Declare His mighty works to all people.

God's word is truth and nothing can change it. Nothing can be hidden from him. Only true repentance is the key to eternal life. Sin destroys, but Christ brings light.

The main emphasis of Proverbs 7 is obedience to the Word of God which is the antidote of abuse sexual immorality of love called Eros between a man and a woman. The fire of this love Eros which is put in our body by God for romantic and sexual attraction towards one's spouse must not be allowed to burn towards another person other than one's spouse otherwise the implication is grievousV1-27

Genesis 5:24 Context 21And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 22And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24And Enoch walked with God: and he was not for God took him. 25And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech: 26A

Amen this is God s plan of Salvation!

Dear Titus I forgot one point. If God can write the 10 commandments than how come he couldn't write the Bible. Don't you think it strange and bitter to allow so many souls to be lost over that 1500 years when he could have written in every language and distributed bible after bible maybe even signed and just get it done? Why hasn't anyone asked this question?

Wonderful? Do you truly believe that you would be fine with God if he killed your children just to win a wager with the Devil? Oh, that's right, he replaced them later with different children. I guess that makes everything all right. A truly "Loving God" would never play this game with Satan.

You are absolutely correct. It took 1500 years and 40 authors to write the bible, most of which was stories told, not in writing. So, are we to believe "Litterally" James or other versions of the bible word for word? Fables, parables, folk lore or poems all written to put fear in the hearts of uncivilized, barbaric, ignorant and simple minded people. Do you really think God was that inhumane?

Vanessa when I first met Ron he use to say I would worry if I had nothing to worry about it was True I found it hard to Trust I had been very hurt and deceived that I came from an Ape and Jesus my best Friend and the Bible was made up. God doesen't condemn us for worrying but it can lead to Sin so He reassures us that He can be Trusted in all things and yes it's very True. God Bless you Vanessa
