61 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208166 | ||
stjohn, You say, he is the source of all lying. when he said to her, "You will not surely die." and then strays further from truth by saying, "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Did the serpent surely LIE to Eve? Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. For God said afterward. Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: "You will not surely die." Yup that there surely is a lie of Satan. In Him Imm |

Humbledbyhisgrace, How about the possibility, of Satan just bringing to Eve's attention that the Tree was there. She knew what God had said about it. Can we assume then both her, and Adam just said OK, when he said don't eat of the fruit, and then promptly forgot about it, believing what God said was true? Gen 3:6 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. It sounds to me as though she was in transgression before eating, she picked it, at that point she didn't die, she had just told the serpent, God said don't touch it! Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. This scripture might be stretching the point, but she was now looking at the tree with desire, and curiosity can it be applied in different situations? Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. I believe Satan went to Eve, as the weaker vessel, knowing he stood a better chance, than with Adam. Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Could it be that simple? In Him Imm |

humbled, In the giving of the command to Adam, not to eat of the fruit, God set the stage, for sin to come into the world Is the Knowledge of Good, and Evil, the same as Sinning? It appears as though the command, gives you the right to choose. The right to choose, can bring Sin. But Sin, or Sinning, isn't the same as the knowledge of good, and evil So there arises a question, "did Adam, and Eve die, because of Sin, or from obtaining the knowledge?" Sin, and Death came into the world, then passed on to us, for the breaking of the Command. (LAW) Rom. 7:14 14) For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Everything having to do with the knowledge of good and evil is future, (Choice) The knowledge of Good, and Evil, opens up to mankind, all sorts of sins Jesus told us, Matt. 6:34 34) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Jer. 27:9 9) Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: Rom. 7:8,9 8) But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9) For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. Sin comes from the breaking of the Law, Jas. 1:13,14 13) Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

humbled, Those are all really good scriptures, but without any explanation, as to what you are saying , they are just quotes of really good scriptures. They all speak truth, I can agree with every scripture you quoted, because they are the word of God, but as to the context in which you are using them, I am oblivious as to your application of each one. I'm not trying to be flippant, I'm saying that when I post a scripture, I try to put with it how I am interpreting it, applying it. I just don't know your thinking, or what you were trying to say with each one. At this point I don't know, if you agree with my post or not. Sorry:-( In Him Imm |

65 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208244 | ||
Humbled, OK, No Assumptions. These are the questions I have asked myself, in an attempt to get an understanding of who Eve was, and what was her motivation, we can't blame it all on Satan, he did lie to her, everything else was Eve's own doing. 1) How long were Adam, and Eve in the garden, after God gave the command, not to eat the fruit, until Eve was tempted? 2) Why did they not eat of the fruit before that time? 3) What was it, at that particular moment, that made Eve even consider eating of the tree, when she had not before? 4) Just how much different were Adam, and Eve than we are? 5) If they were created perfect, would it have been necessary, for God's command to them? The reason I used the verse, Matt.5:28 was because, according to the words in Gen.3:6 there are attributed to Eve, the same types of thoughts a person after the fall could have. So is this a natural condition, of the heart of Man? If it has always been the condition of the heart of Man, and not the (Fallen Nature) could it then be said, Eve looked on the Tree to lust after the fruit? In lusting after the fruit, then Jas.1:14 then explains Eve's actions. If so, Eve had committed sin already in her heart, before (Touching, or Eating). Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Gen.3:6 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. Jas.1:14,15 14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." 15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. H2530----DESIRED chamad khaw-mad A primitive root; to delight in: - beauty, greatly beloved, covet, delectable thing, ( great) delight, desire, goodly, lust, (be) pleasant (thing), precious (thing). (Strong's Concordance) My belief in this matter is, the heart of man has not changed, otherwise Eve could not have been tempted. God would not have had to put the Death Penalty on the eating of the fruit. The eating of the fruit, gave us the knowledge of good, and evil. But as we see, it wasn't eating the fruit, that brought sin into the world, it was because of LUST. In looking at this question, I have had to look at my own belief, that Adam, and Eve were created perfect. The following verse explains, being created in the Image, and Likeness of God, we were given dominion over the Earth. Having dominion, also entails having a Free Will, Eve Exercised that Free Will. Gen.1:26 26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Hank, It just warms the cockles of my heart, to see how many of the forum agree with my post. "Hank", sorry old friend, I thought I had stated it plainly in my first two sentences. "OK, No Assumptions." "These are the questions I have asked (MYSELF), in an attempt to get an understanding of who Eve was, and what was her motivation," The post in question was in response to a post from Humbled on 09-01-08 at 9:58 p.m. thats why I said no assumptions, also why I sent the questions. I will do better in the future, didn't mean to cause any confusion. In showing Humbled, the questions I asked myself, I should have written don't answer these. DUH! My mistake. Guess there were to many dots, leaving room for assumption, and speculation to run rampant. Looking on the bright side though, nice to know there was such a consensus of agreement on the rest. In closing, you are absolutely right, this will be my last post on the thread. In Him Imm |

67 | what a women cannot become a preacher | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208283 | ||
Welcome Jerry, These are the 2 scriptures used the most , to answer your question. 1Tim.2:11,12 11) Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12) But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Cor.14:34,35 34) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

68 | Women, be silent, or be shamed? | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208375 | ||
justme, I have gone back through my post, with a fine tooth comb. Have not been able to find where I gave any opinion, Pro. or Con. Where did I make mention of my Church, or the Doctrines of said Church? What do you think, was Paul speaking, to a cultural problem at that time, or a specific church, or is this a blanket statement meant for today? As to the question of, husbands today teaching their wives obedience to them as leaders, and keeping their wife in subjection? I personally, am not qualified to speak for a segment of society, nor have I put myself forward in that light. So with that in mind, I would be more than happy, to give you my humble opinion on the matter, since you have asked for it. I personally feel, Men have abdicated their God given position, as the head of the woman, and their households. The Courts of this Great Land of ours, have legislated Equality for all of her people, they have at the same time effectively legislated equality in the Churches. Thereby breaking down the family unit, God has established! The statistics, on divorce, can be found at this link http://www.assisteddivorce.com/divorce-statistics.html specifically the ones concerning Christians, note also there are more Women, filing for divorce, and separating than Men. Do we want to go into the statistics on Abortion? I feel these two examples, give a clear picture of what happens, when women that were not ordained to have authority, have it either given to them, or take it. In this type of an atmosphere how could a man teach his wife anything, on the order of what your talking about? In closing, I believe, it is not the position of the Man to teach his wife those things, it is the position of the elderly Women. Titus 2:3-5 3) The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4) That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5) To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 1 Cor.14:33-38 33) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 34) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 36) What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37) If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 38) But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

70 | Christians Apostate Same As Anit-Christ? | 1 Tim 4:1 | Immanuelsown | 206436 | ||
bowler, I think the answer lies in (2Pet.2) whole chapter. and Luke (11:24-26) Apostasy: is the formal abandonment or renunciation of one's religion, especially if the motive is deemed unworthy. In a technical sense, as used sometimes by sociologists without the pejorative connotations of the word, the term refers to renunciation and criticism of, or opposition to one's former religion. One who commits apostasy is an apostate, or one who apostatises. The word derives from Greek, meaning a defection or revolt, from "away, apart", stasis, "standing". Apostasy: is generally not a self definition: very few former believers call themselves apostates and they generally consider this term to be a pejorative. Many religious movements consider it a vice (sin), a corruption of the virtueof piety in the sense that when piety fails, apostasy is the result. Many religious groups and even some states punish apostates. Apostates may be shunned by the members of their former religious group or worse. This may be the official policy of the religious group or may happen spontaneously, due in some sense to psycho-social factors as well. (Wikipedia) In Him Imm |

72 | what verse would strengthen relations | Titus 2:4 | Immanuelsown | 206857 | ||
secret25, Found a couple you might be able to use, if you think about them, and how they can be applied for your purposes. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. Psalm 119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. Proverbs 31:17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. Isaiah 35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Phillipans 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me .1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

73 | Why is love philandros not agapao? | Titus 2:4 | Immanuelsown | 206983 | ||
bowler, Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Reverence: 1: honor or respect felt or shown : deference; especially : profound adoring awed respect 2: a gesture of respect (as a bow) synonyms: (honor, homage, reverence, deference) mean respect and esteem shown to another. (honor) may apply to the recognition of one's right to great respect or to any expression of such recognition (homage) adds the implication of accompanying praise (reverence) implies profound respect mingled with love, devotion, or awe (deference) implies a yielding or submitting to another's judgment or preference out of respect or reverence Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary As we read the verses on the Virtuous woman, we see her esteeming others above herself, everything she does is first, for her Husbands Honor, then she esteems her children, above herself, working for their benefit. Proverbs 31:10-31 We as the Bride of Christ, are to reverence the Lord, (as our husband), and to esteem the brethren above ourselves. (As the children of the Father) 1) If the man is to love his wife, as Christ loves the church, and gave himself for it, 2) Then the wife should have the same love for her husband, as the Church has for Christ. 3) That's as close as I can come to expressing, the kind of (LOVE) she should have for her husband.

74 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Immanuelsown | 207546 | ||
Gal. 5:1-8 This is talking about going back to follow the LAW. Thereby falling from Grace, and Faith in Christ. For where the Law is, is the knowledge of sin. It seems to me that anyone that would try to live there lives by the Law, would be acting out of Pride, feeling they could be better Christians by doing so. 2 Pet 2:20,22 But the context goes back to Vs. 6-19 they are examples of the entanglement. This is talking about going back into the things of the world, things we have forsaken, obtained forgiveness for. I think this example would fall under the category of Apostate. Either example shows a walking away from the life we have been called to, a life in the spirit. If we walk in the spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. John 10:28,29 Jesus says that no one can pluck them out, but it doesn't say we cant walk away. What about Judas? In Him Imm |

75 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Immanuelsown | 207753 | ||
Beja, I haven't gone into any in depth study, I will just put it out there for the Forum to see and judge. I have been doing a lot of reading, and rereading on this question, what I now see is something, that has turned out to be obvious, but was hidden, until a short time ago. I guess it's a question of awareness. What I became aware of is the fact, Heb. 6:1. Starts with (THEREFORE). Would you ever start a sentence with (therefore,) unless you had already said something, that you wanted to emphasize? So I went back to Heb. 5 for the beginning of the thought.(context) He had just called them babes, in need of teaching! 5:11 to 6:8 turns out to be a chastisement of the Hebrews. An explanation of truth to them, so they would understand where, and in whom they stood. Read this passage with an attitude of frustration with a people, that he (Paul) had already travailed in birth for. Look at the entire book, I believe you could take 1:1 to 13:25 as one complete teaching. But 5:11 to 6:8 does not go with anything else in the book, he makes his remarks, then promptly goes right back to where he was before. Then in Heb.10:26-32 he says the same thing again. This appears to be an admonition to a people, that are wavering in their belief, and he is showing them the impossibility of it. I have always read the passage Heb. 6:4-6 as speaking of regenerate people, who become apostate. It was to me, the only logical explanation, to eternal security. Now my eternal security is more secure:-) I now believe he was explaining to them, just how secure they, truly were. In Him Imm |

76 | Do you know a way to get into the Bible? | Heb 8:10 | Immanuelsown | 206080 | ||
Hey Californiasurfin, To relate to you a short, testimony, witness. All Praise to GOD ! ! I was raised a Catholic. But when I got saved, I had never in my life, read a Bible before. This particular night, I started reading about 1 hr. before, in Gen. trying to read it like any other book, I realized I knew the stories, but felt there was more than just that. I had never prayed, except the prayers we were taught, and everyone recited. This particular night I Prayed, GOD gave me the words to pray, so He could answer them. I prayed, asking Him to open the Bible to me, "give me the understanding I said". Then something strange happened, I heard myself praying, "Dear God you know I don't understand this book, you had it written, by your Holy Spirit". "God please give me understanding, I want to be close to you, help me". Right then it was as though God spoke to me. In answer He said in my spirit, start reading in the (New Test, only), read EVERY short book, they will give you a greater overall knowledge, you will be able to read complete thoughts. That night, God gave me understanding, and the beginning of knowledge. His Holy Spirit, WILL TEACH YOU if you let HIM. My advice is to read, don't complicate it for yourself, Pray before you open your Bible, asking God to give you Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom, then when you start reading EXPECT GOD to answer your PRAYER. "A BLESSING ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD". In Him Imm |

79 | How Far Are We To Suffer For Christ? | 1 Pet 4:16 | Immanuelsown | 206851 | ||
bowler, It appears, the suffering, you are referring to, is only because we are Christians, either suffering because of our belief in Christ, or taking the wrong, by turning the other cheek, and suffering a wrong done to us. Christians in either of these circumstances, should understand the situation, accepting it.(Happy they are). People that would see, a possible dramatic change in their lifestyle, before becoming a Christian, would I'm sure feel a sense of remorse, or loss. They would not understand until later, what the Lord had done for them, then they would feel differently, about the loss they might have suffered. But that would not qualify as suffering for Christ. 1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 1 Peter 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 1 Peter 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: In Him Imm |
