1 | the waters above the heavens | Gen 1:7 | armond888 | 95058 | ||
Prior to the flood the sphere of the earth was covered with water ... there was the sky.. which is basically the lower atmosphere in which we live and then.. above the lower atmoshphere was a layer of water. The pre flood environment was very oxygen rich.. and because od the water layer.. the temparature throughout the earth was even. Water serves as a conductor of heat. But if you want to research this even more I suggest you read The Creator and the Cosmos: How the Greatest Scientific Discoveries of the Century Reveal God. 2d ed.

2 | Where does the bible condemn witchcraft? | Deut 18:10 | armond888 | 193375 | ||
Deut 18:10 "There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 2 Deut 18:14 "For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you to do so. 3 2 Kin 9:22 When Joram saw Jehu, he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" And he answered, "What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?" 4 2 Kin 21:6 He made his son pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and used divination, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD provoking Him to anger. 5 2 Chr 33:6 He made his sons pass through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom; and he practiced witchcraft, used divination, practiced sorcery and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger. |

3 | Do all men belong to God? | Job 33:6 | armond888 | 131917 | ||
It is clear throughout the Bible that indeed ALL men do NOT belong to GOD.. not an easy pill to shallow.. puts a big hole in the "free will" concept.. Rom 9:16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." Rom 9:18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Rom 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? Rom 9:23 And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, Rom 9:24 even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles. Matt 13:37 And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, Matt 13:38 and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; |

5 | 2 verses different books KJV | Isaiah | armond888 | 193394 | ||
Isiah 61:1 and Luke 4:18 Is 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; Is 61:2 To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, Luke 4:17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, Luke 4:18 "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, Luke 4:19 TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD." Luke 4:20 And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. Luke 4:21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing |

6 | Are blessings based on mataterials? | Is 53:5 | armond888 | 136553 | ||
Please not the scriptures below.. clearly.. blessing can be apart from material goods..otherwise why would the scripture say you are blessed regardless of your outward condition.. Matt 5:3 Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! 2 Matt 5:4 Blessed and enviably happy [with a happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace] are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted! [Isa. 61:2.] 3 Matt 5:5 Blessed (happy, blithesome, joyous, spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the meek (the mild, patient, long-suffering), for they shall inherit the earth! [Ps. 37:11.] 4 Matt 5:6 Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied! [Isa. 55:1, 2.] 5 Matt 5:7 Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy! 6 Matt 5:8 Blessed (happy, enviably fortunate, and spiritually prosperous--possessing the happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward conditions) are the pure in heart, for they shall see |

Jesus was showing that who He is can only be known as revealed through GOD HIMSELF.. Revelation knowledged.. Man can not reveal Jesus it is an act soley by GOD Himself... Matt 16:17 Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. |

9 | Why did God Create Satan? | Luke 4:1 | armond888 | 193553 | ||
Great question... But let me see if I can answer it like this.. we would not know obedience unless we know disobedience... GOD did not want robots.. He wated people made in His image and His likeness and people who choose to follow HIM.. Satan serves to create the need to choose through temptation.. Heb 5:8 Although He was a Son, He learned [active, special] obedience through what He suffered Heb 5:9 And, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped], He became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey Him, |

12 | How is the Holy spirit given to you | Acts 2:38 | armond888 | 231469 | ||
Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Matt 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee and escape from the wrath and indignation [of God against disobedience] that is coming? Matt 3:8 Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart]; There must first be demonstrated repentance then water baptism snf you SHALL then received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Notice what John the Baptist said to those coming for baptism without showing evidence of reprentence first. |

13 | Do you pay tithes on whole check or part | Acts 15:1 | armond888 | 64190 | ||
My anwer will probably not be what you are looking for because it goes against modern church tradition. However take this to prayer and seek God's answer and revelation. It is the Holy Spirit that leads us and guides us into ALL Truth!!!! Tithing is not a requirement as some teach in the church. Acts 15:7 And after there had been a long debate, Peter got up and said to them, Brethren, you know that quite a while ago God made a choice or selection from among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the message of the Gospel [concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God] and believe (credit and place their confidence in Acts 15:8 And God, Who is acquainted with and understands the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit as He also did to us; Acts 15:9 And He made no difference between us and them, but cleansed their hearts by faith (by a strong and welcome conviction that Jesus is the Messiah, through Whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God). Acts 15:10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting a yoke on the necks of the disciples, such as neither our forefathers nor we [ourselves] were able to endure? Acts 15:11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace (the undeserved favor and mercy) of the Lord Jesus, just as they [are]. |

14 | What was the problem in the church? | Acts 15:1 | armond888 | 64191 | ||
Because the Pharisees, some who had now become saved, brought over old testiment requirements like circumcision, into new testiment salvation. 15:5 But some who believed [who acknowledged Jesus as their Savior and devoted themselves to Him] belonged to the sect of the Pharisees, and they rose up and said, It is necessary to circumcise [the Gentile converts] and to charge them to obey the Law of Moses. Peter explained to the disciples that circumsion like many old testiment requirements were no longer necessary for completed salvation. Acts 15:10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting a yoke on the necks of the disciples, such as neither our forefathers nor we [ourselves] were able to endure? Acts 15:11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace (the undeserved favor and mercy) of the Lord Jesus, just as they [are]. |

15 | free will | Romans | armond888 | 129235 | ||
Man's own arrogance makes this a difficult concept for many of us.. However if we accept it or not ..it is still true.. Rom 9:16 So then [God's gift] is not a question of human will and human effort, but of God's mercy. [It depends not on one's own willingness nor on his strenuous exertion as in running a race, but on God's having mercy on him.] Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, I have raised you up for this very purpose of displaying My power in [dealing with] you, so that My name may be proclaimed the whole world over. Rom 9:18 So then He has mercy on whomever He wills (chooses) and He hardens (makes stubborn and unyielding the heart of) whomever He wills. Rom 9:19 You will say to me, Why then does He still find fault and blame us [for sinning]? For who can resist and withstand His will? Rom 9:20 But who are you, a mere man, to criticize and contradict and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus? [Isa. 29:16; 45:9.] Rom 9:21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same mass (lump) one vessel for beauty and distinction and honorable use, and another for menial or ignoble and dishonorable use? Rom 9:22 What if God, although fully intending to show [the awfulness of] His wrath and to make known His power and authority, has tolerated with much patience the vessels (objects) of [His] anger which are ripe for destruction? [Prov. 16:4.] Rom 9:23 And [what if] He thus purposes to make known and show the wealth of His glory in [dealing with] the vessels (objects) of His mercy which He has prepared beforehand for glory, Rom 9:24 Even including ourselves whom He has called, not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles (heathen)? Now concerning faith??? Faith without works is dead.. James 2:17 So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead). Gal 5:6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. |

16 | Now vs. Paul's day- lust and Romans | Rom 1:27 | armond888 | 116412 | ||
Lust is the same.. yesterday and today. 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world .. ..and fortunately NOT forever.. because this World as we know it., the fallen state, will be destroyed 1 John 2:17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. And yes Homosexuality is sin and the behavior is condemned.. NASB Romans 1:27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error |

17 | Why Sunday? | 1 Cor 16:2 | armond888 | 193560 | ||
It first appears in the Bible as shown below, remember the sabbath is old testament and was established under the Levitical law.or the Law of Moses... thats over now.. Thank you Jesus.. That is why the Temple cutain was torn at Jesus's crucifiction.. The Law had been fulfilled.. Matt 5:17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill Matt 27:51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. 1 Cor 16:2 On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come. |

19 | Why Sunday? | 1 Cor 16:2 | armond888 | 193564 | ||
One more thing.. GOD really no longer commands us what day to worship it is more an issue of preference.. He is more concerned that we worship HIM in our lifestyle.. Rom 14:5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. |

20 | Died and with Christ, Where? | 2 Corinthians | armond888 | 231470 | ||
That sounds very much nonsensical to me. It is like saying you are living in my home but not in my neighborhood, sounds crazy. Acts 7:56 and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." Think about this; If Jesus is standing nect to God in Heaven and we are in Jesus how can we NOT be in heaven too. Eph 2:6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, |
