21 | OVER COMING THE DEVIL THROUGH GOD | Eph 6:13 | DBR | 127889 | ||
NASB Matt 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. But what does "first" mean? *First [Adverb] proton the neuter of the adjective protos, is used as an adverb, signifying "first, firstly," e.g., of time, Matt_8:21; of order, Rom_3:2 (AV, "chiefly"); in John_7:51, RV, "except it first hear from himself" (the AV, "before it hear him," follows the mss. which have proteron).”-Vine’s Expository Dictionary’ *“Proton – The sense “above all” is the obvious one in Mt. 6:33, for Jesus is not teaching that we should seek the kingdom and then other things, but that there should be exclusive orientation to the divine kingdom and righteousness.”-‘Theological Dictionary of The New Testament’ (Little Kittel) by G. Bromiley p.966 Protons: Particles with a positive electric charge equal to that of the electron. A constituent of the nucleus of every atom. Elementary Particles of the Atom’s World - By 1932 the [Atom’s] nucleus was found to be made up of protons and neutrons. Protons carry the positive charge of the atom—exactly equal in size but opposite in kind to the negative charge on the electron. A “Proton” is a fundamental part of the center or Nucleus of an Atom. “First” means not that something is part of our existence; it is our existence, the Nucleus of our life!! The truth is not part of our life, it is our life. Everything else revolves around it. Just a thought or two. DBR |

22 | From what are we ransomed? | Mark 10:45 | DBR | 127888 | ||
Very true. Jesus’ perfect human life offered in sacrifice is the antitypical sin offering. It is the valuable thing that accomplishes the purchase of mankind, redeeming them from inherited sin and death. (Tit 2:13, 14; Heb 2:9) Christ himself declared: “The Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul a ransom, Gr. lytron, in exchange for many.” (Mr 10:45) His sacrifice atoned exactly for what was forfeited by the sinner Adam, since Jesus was perfect and hence Adam’s equal prior to the first man’s sin.—1Ti 2:5, 6; Eph 1:7.

24 | as christians, what is our 1st priority | Eccl 12:13 | DBR | 127868 | ||
Perhaps to answer your question we all could think on the question what did Jesus put first in his life after he was babtized by John, what do we think? AMP 1 Pet 2:21 For even to this were you called [it is inseparable from your vocation]. For Christ also suffered for you, leaving you [His personal] example, so that you should follow in His footsteps. DBR |

25 | Ephesians 6:11 | Eph 6:11 | DBR | 127867 | ||
Spiritual Armor. Although true Christians do not share in fleshly warfare, they are engaged in a battle and are likened to soldiers. (Php 2:25; 2Ti 2:3; Phm 2) A Christian has a wrestling “against the governments [not made up of flesh-and-blood humans], against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.” (Eph 6:12) Since physical weapons and armor would be of no value in a battle against superhuman spirits, Christians must “take up the complete suit of armor from God.”—Eph 6:13. Paul advises Christians to have their “loins girded about with truth.” (Eph 6:14) Just as a girdle can provide support and protection for the loins, an unbreakable attachment to divine truth can strengthen a Christian in his determination to remain firm despite trials. Next, a Christian must put on “the breastplate of righteousness.” (Eph 6:14) A literal breastplate served to protect vital organs, especially the heart. The need of righteousness as a protective breastplate for the figurative heart is especially evident because of the heart’s sinful inclination.—Ge 8:21; Jer 17:9. Part of the spiritual armor is to have the feet “shod with the equipment of the good news of peace.” (Eph 6:15) The Greek word hetomasa, translated “equipment,” has the basic meaning “readiness.” (See Int; NIV; TEV.) A Christian’s always being equipped and ready to make known the “good news” to others, and doing so despite hardships, can help him to endure faithfully. A prominent part of the spiritual armor is “the large shield of faith.” Like a large shield covering most of the body, faith in God and his ability to fulfill his promises will enable a Christian to “quench all the wicked one’s burning missiles.” (Eph 6:16; compare Ps 91:4.) Faith will help a Christian withstand attacks by wicked spirits, resist temptations to immorality, shun materialistic desires, and not give in to fear, doubt, or excessive grief.—Ge 39:7-12; Heb 11:15; 13:6; Jas 1:6; 1Th 4:13. As a helmet protects a soldier’s head, so “the helmet of salvation” safeguards the Christian’s mental powers from ungodly influences. (Eph 6:17) Having on “as a helmet the hope of salvation” means looking “intently toward the payment of the reward,” as Moses did.—1Th 5:8; Heb 11:26. “The sword of the spirit, that is, God’s word” is indispensable to the Christian in warding off false teachings and traditions of men and in teaching the truth and ‘overturning strongly entrenched things.’—Eph 6:17; 2Co 10:4, 5. |

26 | How many Lazarus were there in the Bible | NT general Archive 1 | DBR | 127865 | ||
LAZARUS (Laz´a·rus) [probably the Gr. form of the Heb. name Eleazar, meaning “God Has Helped”]. 1. The brother of Martha and Mary; his resurrection was one of the outstanding miracles performed by Jesus Christ. (Joh 11:1, 2) Jesus had a deep love for this family living at Bethany, “about two miles” from Jerusalem on the road to Jericho. (Joh 11:5, 18, ftn) He had been entertained at their home, perhaps frequently.—Lu 10:38-42. 2. The name given to the beggar in Jesus’ illustration commonly known as the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. (Lu 16:19-31) In the Vulgate the word “rich” has been rendered by the Latin adjective dives, which is often mistakenly used as the proper name of the rich man. However, the Jewish name Lazarus itself was common in ancient times, a fact borne out by ossuary inscriptions. DBR |

It would seem in the above texts from Numbers and Job they the Bible does call animal souls, but in the sense that they are souls not that they have an immortal soul or "soul" can be another word for "life" (living things) when we x-ref KJV and AMP of Job 12:10.

Thank you for your comment. I just would like to note one thing I did not say "God has no option" I said it seems to me etc., as I cannot not know God's mind commpletly as he may have somthing other to do:- Matt 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but ALL things are possible with God.

Rom 10:9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Rom 5:9 Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ's blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God. So how can a e.g. 1-4 yr old do the above? A prerequisite for salvation and gaining a place in heaven, God cannot brake his own rules so to speak otherwise what he said would be untrue, and that Cannot be. I will answer, they would not have the mental ability to do so, how would they understand sin and to repent from it? What would they understand about the Shed Blood of Jesus, they probably would not be able to spell Blood. How can a baby or young child do the following? Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]. How can they understand faith when they have not what finished using the bottle? Acts 17:30 Such [former] ages of ignorance God, it is true, ignored and allowed to pass unnoticed; but now He charges all people everywhere to repent (to change their minds for the better and heartily to amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins) If God is willing to let pass by him pagans who worship false gods in "ignorance" of him, are you saying that God will not let pass by him the death of a young one who died in "ignorance"? Some one said to me will God give them a 2nd chance, as I see it they have not even had a 1st chance as yet. As God 4 cardinal qualities are 1, Love. 2, Wisdom, 3, Justice, 4, Power, Not to give the innocent a fair trial would be wrong, it even is in the eyes of sinful men (and some of them atheists), so how much more so in the eyes of God, remember we are in God's Image and can reflect his thinking to some degree even though we are sinners, we have a sense of fair play, how much more so for a God how IS Love, not that he has Love but IS Love.? We could think of it this way, God seems to have 1 of 3 actions to take: 1 Send the to heaven, this has been ruled out by the above texts, God has to stay by his word. 2. Send the dead child to Hell, unthinkable as he was prepared to forget the past actions of ignorant demon worshiping pagans if the repented, the child has not got to the point of knowing about repentance etc. much less demon worship?! 3. Resurrect and let the child get to the point that he can understand about God, Christ and his ransom etc., which he or she was not able to do because of circumstance total beyond and out of their control. The latter I believe would be the action of a Loving, Wise, Just and Powerful and we can add Forgiving God, as Jesus died for all sinful humans so that they might be able to have a Good relationship with him God, children they died young did not get that chance to show Love of and For God Love says they need it. These are my scriptural reasons. DBR |

I think Hank (12-5-01) has made a very sound comment on this point:- I can't agree that a child under the age of three knows that he has done wrong. He may know that a certain action of his brings a frown or a no-no from his mother without really understanding why. But I doubt he has any real sense of wrongdoing, much less any conviction of sin. I further withhold judgment that any child of "3 or so" could be held strictly accountable for his deeds. My wife and I had 3 children and they were, by any measure, the very brightest on our block, of course! But I could not see in any of them at the tender age of 3 or 4 any sign that they had reached the level of cognizance at which they had any genuine concept or conviction of sin or of their need for a Savior. --Hank Hope ypu do not mind me cutting and pasteing you comment Hank as I think it has much to say of Import here? Thank You both Love DBR |

Lets have a look how a loving and merciful God views young or little Children:- KJV Deuteronomy 1:39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it. It would seem there is a time during a young ones life when God views them as not having knowledge (understanding) of “good and evil” so then we must ask the question if that is how almighty God thinks how can he justly condemn an innocent whom he view as not knowing the difference between the two that is “good and evil?” So if we follow what the Paul said at Rom 12:1 I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent – Here the Greek word is logiken (Logic)) service and spiritual worship. Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words Reasonable logikos pertaining to "the reasoning faculty, reasonable, rational," is used in Rom_12:1, of the service (latreia) to be rendered by believers in presenting their bodies "a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God." The sacrifice is to be intelligent, in contrast to those offered by ritual and compulsion; the presentation is to be in accordance with the spiritual intelligence of those who are new creatures in Christ and are mindful of "the mercies of God." So if I follow Paul’s example and apply reason/logic it tells me that as God is Just he would not condemn those he would consider that do not know good from bad, so the only just thing he could do is to give them another chance? This is what I feel the scriptures say to me and that it is a logical conclusion to draw, you don’t not have to follow it if that is what you feel. That’s ok by me. Thank you for your thoughts I do think about them, I fact most of today. Christian Love DBR |

This “king,” that is, the dynasty of Babylon, ‘lifted himself up’ in his own heart and was in his own eyes and in the eyes of his admirers a “shining one,” a “son of the dawn.” (In some translations the Latin Vulgate term “Lucifer” is retained. It is, however, merely the translation of the Hebrew word heh·lel´, “shining one.” Heh·lel´ is not a name or a title but, rather, a term describing the boastful position taken by Babylon’s dynasty of kings of the line of Nebuchadnezzar.) (Isa 14:4-21) Since Babylon was a tool of Satan, its “king” reflected Satan’s own ambitious desire. DBR |
