2 | Had Adam and Eve not fallen, then what? | Bible general Archive 2 | Aniset | 106292 | ||
Well my friend, Adam is the life giver. The male is the head of the house hold and the life giver of the off spring. Sin was not pass on to us through Eve, it was through Adam that we inherated sin. Romans 5:12,18 In example: have you ever thought about how Jesus born perfect althought he was born of a woman? well, It is because his Father the Almighty is Perfect and he inherited no sin from Mary. So if Adam had not eaten from the tree things would have still been perfect and GOD may have given him a new wife. |

3 | HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE BIBLE | Bible general Archive 2 | Aniset | 107203 | ||
Romans 1:23-31 18 For God's wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who are suppressing the truth in an unrighteous way, 19 because what may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them. 20 For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable; 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God nor did they thank him, but they became empty-headed in their reasonings and their unintelligent heart became darkened. 22 Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish 23 and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed creatures and creeping things. 24 Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error. 28 And just as they did not approve of holding God in accurate knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting, 29 filled as they were with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, badness, being full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malicious disposition, being whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, insolent, haughty, self-assuming, inventors of injurious things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, false to agreements, having no natural affection, merciless. 32 Although these know full well the righteous decree of God, that those practicing such things are deserving of death, they not only keep on doing them but also consent with those practicing them. |

5 | Is Jesus YHWH? | OT general | Aniset | 107199 | ||
The person who became known as Jesus Christ did not begin life here on earth. He himself spoke of his prehuman heavenly life. (Joh 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58) John 1:1, 2 gives the heavenly name of the one who became Jesus, saying: "In the beginning the Word [Gr., Lo´gos] was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god ["was divine," AT; Mo; or "of divine being," Böhmer; Stage (both German)]. This one was in the beginning with God." Since Jehovah is eternal and had no beginning (Ps 90:2; Re 15:3), the Word's being with God from "the beginning" must here refer to the beginning of Jehovah's creative works. This is confirmed by other texts identifying Jesus as "the firstborn of all creation," "the beginning of the creation by God." (Col 1:15; Re 1:1; 3:14) Thus the Scriptures identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God's first creation, his firstborn Son. That Jehovah was truly the Father or Life-Giver to this firstborn Son and, hence, that this Son was actually a creature of God is evident from Jesus' own statements. He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, "I live because of the Father." According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus' ransom sacrifice.-Joh 6:56, 57. Not a co-Creator. The Son's share in the creative works, however, did not make him a co-Creator with his Father. The power for creation came from God through his holy spirit, or active force. (Ge 1:2; Ps 33:6) And since Jehovah is the Source of all life, all animate creation, visible and invisible, owes its life to him. (Ps 36:9) Rather than a co-Creator, then, the Son was the agent or instrumentality through whom Jehovah, the Creator, worked. Jesus himself credited God with the creation, as do all the Scriptures.-Mt 19:4-6 |

6 | where did Jesus go after dieing? | NT general Archive 1 | Aniset | 115790 | ||
Definition: The word "hell" is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read "the grave," "the world of the dead," and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered "hell"; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she'ohl´ and its Greek equivalent hai´des, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek ge´en·na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction. However, both in Christendom and in many non-Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished (and some believe that this is with torment). The question is, What does the bible say? The Bible says that Jesus Christ was in hell three days and was resurrected from there. In a prophecy concerning him, it explains: "Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell [sheol]; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." (Ps. 16:10; Acts 2:31) Also, Jonah was a man that was as in hell and got out alive. When swallowed by a big fish, Jonah said: "Out of the belly of hell [sheol] cried I." (Jonah 2:2) Where was Jonah? In the fish's belly, and there was no fire there! What, then, is hell? Let us see from the Bible. At Genesis 37:35 Jacob, one of Jesus' forefathers, when mourning for his son Joseph, whom he thought to be dead, lamented: "I will go down into the grave [sheol] unto my son mourning." Here the American Standard Version leaves the Hebrew word sheol untranslated; the King James Version renders it "grave," but the Catholic Douay Version renders it "hell." Obviously sheol, or hell, is mankind's common grave. And note that the Bible says: "Death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them." (Rev. 20:13) Yes, all those in hell are to be resurrected! So when we are trying to get clearity of the scriptures we should never lean on our own understanding but continue to search and research to see what is true. |

7 | Verse were Jesus defeats hell? | NT general Archive 1 | Aniset | 115792 | ||
The fact that Jesus died and was raised up to everlasting life shows that he defeated death. Remember death was supposed to be forever. It is because of out forfather Adam, that we all inherit sin and death. However Almighty God made arrangements for a redeamer Jesus Christ to come and give his life as a ransom in exchange for many. It is because of this that we have a chance for everlasting life. | ||||||

Yes Adam and Eve were her parents. Genesis 3:20 Remember the first people on earth were Adam and Eve. That bible does not say that God made others besides them. They were told to fill the earth Genesis 1:28. At that time humans were very close to perfection, so them having sex with siblings did not have the same affect on them as it would us. insest was allowed only to allow the earth to be populated.

Many years passed before this happened. They were allowed to populate. Remember people lived a lot longer then. It would not have been hard for all of those people to have been born inhundreds of years. Also the bible never says that Adam And Eve had a certain amount of children. It only pointed out certain ones. |

13 | God refers to himself as "The great I Am | Ex 3:14 | Aniset | 114689 | ||
At the time this question was asked ot GOD, the people had not seen Jehovah demonstrate his power in the ways in which he was going to show them. So what he was saying at Exodus 3:14 was that he will prove to be what he proves to be or in other words He causes to become. (Jehovah and Yahwah both mean: he causes to become.)this is why we know Jehovah as the Great Purposer. What ever he wills, no matter how impossable it my seem to us,Jehovah can make it happen. The following is some other bible translations. Exodus 3:14 :: New American Standard Bible (NASB) Exodus 3 14 God said to Moses, " I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" Footnotes 1. Related to the name of God, YHWH, rendered LORD, which is derived from the verb HAYAH, to be Exodus 3:14 :: New Living Translation (NLT) Exodus 3 14God replied, "I AM THE ONE WHO ALWAYS IS.[1] Just tell them, I AM has sent me to you.' " Footnotes 2. 3:14 Or I AM WHO I AM, or I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE. Exodus 3:14 :: Contemporary English Version (CEV) Exodus 3 14-15God said to Moses: I am the eternal God. So tell them that the LORD, [1] whose name is " I Am," has sent you. This is my name forever, and it is the name that people must use from now on. Footnotes 3. 3.14,15 LORD: The Hebrew text has " Yahweh," which is usually translated " LORD" in the CEV. Since it seems related to the word translated " I am," it may mean " I am the one who is" or " I will be what I will be" or " I am the one who brings into being." |

14 | Loyal to who?? | Numbers | Aniset | 104248 | ||
I have been waiting for a question like this . Jesus is not GOD, He is GOD's only begotten son. This is confusing to a lot of people because the new translations of the bible has taken GOD's name out and replaced it with Lord, thus making people believe that they are one in the same. Most Churches also do not teach the differance between GOD the father and Jesus the son. GOD's name in JEHOVAH if said in English and YAHWEH in Hebrew. Jehovah Definition: The personal name of the only true God. His own self-designation. Jehovah is the Creator and, rightfully, the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. "Jehovah" is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, ????, which means "He Causes to Become." These four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH. Where is God's name found in Bible translations that are commonly used today? The New English Bible: The name Jehovah appears at Exodus 3:15; 6:3. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24; Ezekiel 48:35. (But if this and other translations use "Jehovah" in several places, why not be consistent in using it at every place where the Tetragrammaton appears in the Hebrew text?)Revised Standard Version: A footnote on Exodus 3:15 says: "The word LORD when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH." Today's English Version: A footnote on Exodus 6:3 states: "THE LORD: . . . Where the Hebrew text has Yahweh, traditionally transliterated as Jehovah, this translation employs LORD with capital letters, following a usage which is widespread in English versions." King James Version: The name Jehovah is found at Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24. American Standard Version: The name Jehovah is used consistently in the Hebrew Scriptures in this translation, beginning with Genesis 2:4.

15 | Explain the Holy Trinity-verysimple form | Numbers | Aniset | 104252 | ||
Is such reasoning hard to follow? Many sincere believers have found it to be confusing, contrary to normal reason, unlike anything in their experience. How, they ask, could the Father be God, Jesus be God, and the holy spirit be God, yet there be not three Gods but only one God? THIS confusion is widespread. The Encyclopedia Americana notes that the doctrine of the Trinity is considered to be "beyond the grasp of human reason." Many who accept the Trinity view it that same way. Monsignor Eugene Clark says: "God is one, and God is three. Since there is nothing like this in creation, we cannot understand it, but only accept it." Cardinal John O'Connor states: "We know that it is a very profound mystery, which we don't begin to understand." And Pope John Paul II speaks of "the inscrutable mystery of God the Trinity."HOW could such a confusing doctrine originate? The Catholic Encyclopedia claims: "A dogma so mysterious presupposes a Divine revelation." Catholic scholars Karl Rahner and Herbert Vorgrimler state in their Theological Dictionary: "The Trinity is a mystery . . . in the strict sense . . . , which could not be known without revelation, and even after revelation cannot become wholly intelligible." However, contending that since the Trinity is such a confusing mystery, it must have come from divine revelation creates another major problem. Why? Because divine revelation itself does not allow for such a view of God: "God is not a God of confusion."-1 Corinthians 14:33, Revised Standard Version (RS). |

16 | destroying yokes | Ps 34:18 | Aniset | 110009 | ||
David supplicated God with intense cries for help. "This afflicted one called, and Jehovah himself heard. And out of all his distresses He saved him," said David. He also said: "Out of all my frights he delivered me." (Psalm 34:4, 6, 15, 17) Have you also learned to supplicate Jehovah, pouring out your heart during times of anxiety? (Ephesians 6:18; Psalm 62:8) Though your particular distress may not be as dramatic as David's, still you will find that God will give you help at the right time. (Hebrews 4:16) But David did more than pray. Even when our heart pains us because of our own weaknesses or failures, if we have the right attitude, we can maintain our peace with God. David wrote at Psalm 34:18: "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." If we ask for forgiveness and take any necessary steps to correct matters (especially in cases of serious transgression), Jehovah will stay close to us, supporting us emotionally.-Proverbs 28:13; Isaiah 55:7; 2 Corinthians 7:9-11. |

17 | satans real name | Is 14:12 | Aniset | 114618 | ||
Lucifer means:SHINING ONE (Isaiah 14:12). So although the Name Lucifer is not there the meaning is still the same. The term "Lucifer" is found only once in the Scriptures and that at Isaiah 14:12. Even this, however, is true of only certain versions, such as the King James, Douay, An American Translation, Knox and Darby. The American Standard Version and the Revised Standard Version use the expression "Day Star"; Rotherham, "Shining One"; Moffatt, "shining star." The King James Version at Isaiah 14:12, 13 reads: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north." The Hebrew word here translated Lucifer is Heylél. In the Septuagint Version it is rendered by the Greek word Heosphóros, which means "bringer of dawn." In Jerome's Latin Vulgate Version this word is translated "Lucifer," which accounts for its appearance in other versions, especially in Catholic versions. |

19 | Where does Satan come from? | Is 14:12 | Aniset | 114623 | ||
Definition: The word "hell" is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read "the grave," "the world of the dead," and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered "hell"; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she'ohl´ and its Greek equivalent hai´des, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek ge´en·na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction. However, both in Christendom and in many non-Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished (and some believe that this is with torment).Eccl. 9:5, 10: "The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all . . . All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol,* the place to which you are going." (If they are conscious of nothing, they obviously feel no pain.) (*"Sheol," AS, RS, NE, JB; "the grave," KJ, Kx; "hell," Dy; "the world of the dead," TEV.) Ps. 146:4: "His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts* do perish." (*"Thoughts," KJ, 145:4 in Dy; "schemes," JB; "plans," RS, TEV.) Does the Bible indicate that the soul survives the death of the body? Ezek. 18:4: "The soul* that is sinning-it itself will die." (*"Soul," KJ, Dy, RS, NE, Kx; "the man," JB; "the person," TEV.) "The concept of 'soul,' meaning a purely spiritual, immaterial reality, separate from the 'body,' . . . does not exist in the Bible."-La Parole de Dieu (Paris, 1960), Georges Auzou, professor of Sacred Scripture, Rouen Seminary, France, p. 128. "Although the Hebrew word nefesh [in the Hebrew Scriptures] is frequently translated as 'soul,' it would be inaccurate to read into it a Greek meaning. Nefesh . . . is never conceived of as operating separately from the body. In the New Testament the Greek word psyche is often translated as 'soul' but again should not be readily understood to have the meaning the word had for the Greek philosophers. It usually means 'life,' or 'vitality,' or, at times, 'the self.'"-The Encyclopedia Americana (1977), Vol. 25, p. 236. What sort of people go to the Bible hell? Does the Bible say that the wicked go to hell? Ps. 9:17, KJ: "The wicked shall be turned into hell,* and all the nations that forget God." (*"Hell," 9:18 in Dy; "death," TEV; "the place of death," Kx; "Sheol," AS, RS, NE, JB, NW.) Does the Bible also say that upright people go to hell? Job 14:13, Dy: "[Job prayed:] Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell,* and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a time when thou wilt remember me?" (God himself said that Job was "a man blameless and upright, fearing God and turning aside from bad."-Job 1:8.) (*"The grave," KJ; "the world of the dead," TEV; "Sheol," AS, RS, NE, JB, NW.) Acts 2:25-27, KJ: "David speaketh concerning him [Jesus Christ], . . . Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,* neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." (The fact that God did not "leave" Jesus in hell implies that Jesus was in hell, or Hades, at least for a time, does it not?) (*"Hell," Dy; "death," NE; "the place of death," Kx; "the world of the dead," TEV; "Hades," AS, RS, JB, NW.) |

20 | devil name while in heaven? | Is 14:12 | Aniset | 114629 | ||
The bible does not state what his name was. What it does state is that he was an angel. There are many angels but only a couple of name were reviled to us in Gods word the bible. This helps us to see that, what his name was is not important to our spritual well being. SATAN means:[Resister]. In many places in the Hebrew Scriptures, the word sa·tan´ appears without the definite article. Used in this way, it applies in its first appearance to the angel that stood in the road to resist Balaam as he set out with the objective of cursing the Israelites. (Nu 22:22, 32) In other instances it refers to individuals as resisters of other men. (1Sa 29:4; 2Sa 19:21, 22; 1Ki 5:4; 11:14, 23, 25) But it is used with the definite article ha to refer to Satan the Devil, the chief Adversary of God. (Job 1:6, ftn; 2:1-7; Zec 3:1, 2) In the Greek Scriptures the word sa·ta·nas´ applies to Satan the Devil in nearly all of its occurrences and is usually accompanied by the definite article ho. Origin. The Scriptures indicate that the creature known as Satan did not always have that name. Rather, this descriptive name was given to him because of his taking a course of opposition and resistance to God. The name he had before this is not given. God is the only Creator, and 'his activity is perfect,' with no injustice or unrighteousness. (De 32:4) Therefore, the one becoming Satan was, when created, a perfect, righteous creature of God. He is a spirit person, for he appeared in heaven in the presence of God. (Job chaps 1, 2; Re 12:9) Jesus Christ said of him: "That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him." (Joh 8:44; 1Jo 3:8) Jesus here shows that Satan was once in the truth, but forsook it. Beginning with his first overt act in turning Adam and Eve away from God, he was a manslayer, for he thereby brought about the death of Adam and Eve, which, in turn, brought sin and death to their offspring. (Ro 5:12) Throughout the Scriptures the qualities and actions attributed to him could be attributed only to a person, not to an abstract principle of evil. It is clear that the Jews, and Jesus and his disciples, knew that Satan existed as a person. So, from a righteous, perfect start, this spirit person deviated into sin and degradation. The process bringing this about is described by James when he writes: "Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death." (Jas 1:14, 15) In the course that Satan took, there seems to be, in some respects, a parallel with that of the king of Tyre as described in Ezekiel 28:11-19. |
