21 | Trinity | John 1:1 | Noveta | 160746 | ||
You are absolutely right. The correct statement would be "You have to accept the Bible for what it says". This is a great scripture "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil...." |

22 | Trinity | John 1:1 | Noveta | 160734 | ||
This is the intepretation that I understand also. There is one God in three persons. "God the father", "God the Son" , "God the Holy Spirit". Co-eternal and Co-Equal and distinct (three individuals) There are scriptures that show the Farther is GOD Matt. 16:16,17; John 6:27,44,45; 20:17; Rom. 1:7; 1 Cor. 1:3; 2 Cor. 1:2; Eph. 1:3; etc. There are scriptures that show the Son is God John 1:1,14; 20:28,29; Phil. 2:6-8; Heb. 1:8,9; Col. 2:9; Isa. 9:6. There are scriptures that show the Holy Spirit is God Acts 5:3,4; Eph. 4:30; 1 Thess. 4:8. Here are scriptures that show they are distinct Hebrews 1:5 , 2 Corinthians 1:3 You almost have to accept the Bible for what it says. There are many things to me that are not explained clear and sometimes hard to interpret. But this topic is repeatly revealed and I think one of the most important. Understanding and excepting , not leaning on your understanding but accept what the Bible is saying. God the Farther can talk to God the Son because they are distinct individuals but yet they are equal because they are one. Same is for God the Holy Spirit, John 14:16,26; 15:26; 16:7,13-15. I hoped I have helped and not hurt. This is the first time I have attempted to repond to a question rather than asking a question. Hopefully I have given you the right scriptures in the right place. But I felt that I needed to express what has been taught to me. |

23 | Men and Angels | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 160717 | ||
I have read your response. Thanks you and everyone for helping with my studies. You mentioned this scripture "Jude 1:6-7 "And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, committing fornication, and going away after other flesh, laid down an example before-times, undergoing vengeance of everlasting fire." You have given me many scriptures to research. I know I have more reading and research, but I needed to ask this question. Sorry, I am very confused. This does tell me that angels left their dwelling place. As many have done, many angels were sent to rely messages and communicate with humans. However when I read Gen 19. I get the impression the men were after angels(which are also called men interchangeably??), not the other way around. I am confused as to how this explains that it is possible that another species can be created in Gen 6. This would different be another species (angels and humans ) ?? That even though the desire for men to be with the angels was there, but it doesn't state that it happened. When I read Gen 19, it appears the angels were in control of the situation because they pulled Lot back in and Gen 19:11 says "And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness..so that they became weary trying to find the door". Thanks for your help |

24 | After his own kind | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 160714 | ||
I have read most of the comments that stemmed from my question. Your statement is the reason why I can't believe that there were "fallen angels" and human woman having children. From what I can understand we have free will right, so if these angels did such a thing what would stop it from happening again. Also if the angels mixed with the women, why in the following verses it states the men became wicked. If you read the entire story in context it makes more sense to me that these great "giants" were godly men that mixed with ungodly women and became evil. GOD was not pleased and then destroyed them. I am trying to learn how to intepret the Bible. I have been told that you interpret scripture against scripture. But just because you use a phrase in one book of the Bible (for instance Job uses the sons of God to mean angels) doesn't necessarily mean the same phrase is used the same way in another part of the bible. You have to read the context and compare context with context. If one scripture is referring to something in context and it also refering to the same thing "in context" then yes it would mean the samething. (correct?). Another example would be when I first read Gen 5:24 I did not understand what was meant by "And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him". It was not until I read Heb 11:5 that I understood by faith he did not see death. |

25 | What is progeny? | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 159785 | ||
Can you please tell me what you mean by.... why were their progeny different than normal? I looked up the word progeny and it states descedants of a person. I also see that giants can be interpeted as large men, renown, and powerful? |

26 | Sons of God | Not Specified | Noveta | 159769 | ||
I do aplogize, I know this question has been asked before. But I am torn by two interpretations of the same scripture. Genesis 6. Who are the sons of God? While it makes perfect sense they are talking about angels because of the chapters in Job 1:6 and Job 2:1, and Job 38:4. Then there is also support in the new II Peter 2:4. However in Job they are not talking about fallen angels. But ofcourse they are not fallen in Genesis until they commited the sin? But then there is interpretation that tries to approach the scripture with logic. Saying to read chapters 4 and 5 of Genesis, they must be talking about Seth and Cain. Seth being the sons of God and the daughters of men being from Cain. Then there is the idea that spirits don't have sex and do not marry. I know in Matthew when Jesus mentions this is not talking about sex, but sex is the gift (or suppose to be ) that is after marriage? Which using reason, that makes sense to me. |

28 | GOD gives Jesus the power to save? | Heb 7:25 | Noveta | 151503 | ||
I was speaking of someone else's commentary. This is how they interpret the scripture. I didn't think it was right. | ||||||
29 | GOD gives Jesus the power to save? | Not Specified | Noveta | 151494 | ||
I was reading some commentaries on the bible and it stated "He is the only man who is now the Mediator between God and mankind (1 Tim. 2:5). It is Jesus Christ to whom God has given the power to “save to the uttermost” all who call upon his name, because he ever lives to make intercession for us (Heb. 7:25)." I believe that Jesus is GOD. For the most part I have many scriptures that support it. However, I sometimes run across some that I need explanation. For example the above one says GOD gave the power to save. Is this a correct commentary to say GOD gave Jesus. Since Jesus is GOD how is he given the power to save? I thought he always had that power. There were just many prophecies that need to be fulfilled before it was "actualized". Noveta |

33 | What is considered an Idol | Not Specified | Noveta | 140556 | ||
This scripture says clearly In Exodus 20:3-5, God gives Israel this command: "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God." How do you justify wearing a cross? It clearly says do not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the either beneath or in the waers below. If I wear a cross I know in my heart I am not wearing it as an idol. And the is the point I try to make, even though this is a symbol that is in the form of something in heaven, I am not idolizing it. Meaning I am not placing it before God. However, I have to continuously explain myself to people who don't understand, which is okay. I just want to make sure I am correct. To me it is a symbol that reminds me what Christ has done for me. But some people feel I am going against God's commandment and it causes confusion. To me it welcomes communication and my chance to explain God's grace and his plan for our salvation. Is that any other scripture that says people have created heavenly symbols and it was okay with GOD. |

Did Jesus die on a cross on a stake. I understand the important thing is that he died for our sins. But I how do you translate the greek word stauros into English. Is there a good resource to translates Greek to English. I know Greek is a hard language to learn. Maybe a Greek to English for dummies? Noveta |

37 | Jesus is the same | Heb 13:8 | Noveta | 137091 | ||
Thanks, I wish there was a technique to help me memorize the bible. I pray and try to meditate on one chapter or scripture, but it is not working. Sometimes I feel that something is holding me back from helping me go to that next step in my Christian life. I get approached by other religions a lot. And I was speaking to a Jehavoh Witness and she was saying that God never changes and that we should start from the beginning. We got into the discuss of doctrines and she asked what I thought and I said. "I don't believe Jesus is a created being becuase he is the same today, yesterday and forever" And her reply was that is GOD who is the same "today, yesterday and forever". I knew I had read in the Bible where it said Jesus but I could not remember. Is there also a place where it says God is the same, yesterday, today and forever. Because this will really prove my point that Jesus is GOD!!!! Thanks very much. |
