41 | How do you explain? | Gen 1:31 | DBR | 127170 | ||
Sorry if I missunderstood you point. "God created man of corruptible flesh" not so as found at Deuteronomy 32:4-5 The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; Righteous and upright is he. 5 They have acted ruinously on their own part; They are not his children, the defect is their own. A generation crooked and twisted! Man makes himself bad by not obeying God's will. God tolerates evil but is not the cause of it, the text you site show God's toleration of evil. God will always bring ultimately disasters against man that do not do his will as they will "reap as they sow" see Gal 6:7-8. From God's view bringing evil results upon themselves and others for their bad deeds, so if God let this happen then it can be said to be from God but due to their own badness. DBR |

42 | How do you substantiate your answere? | Gen 1:31 | DBR | 127169 | ||
The following text show Satan at work, only an angelic creature could possibly copy another angelic creature. 2 Cor 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. We could say an Angel of Darkness copying God's righteous angelic messengers, for bad ends. The Devil made himself, a good agngel that did bad, the first to sin, for the purpose of getting humans to worship Him insted of God The Creator and he started with Adam and Eve. Lucifer reffers to the King of Babylon not the first Wicked one, Satan. 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 |

43 | Whats meant by the THIRD HEAVEN | Bible general Archive 2 | DBR | 127166 | ||
Third Heaven. At 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 the apostle Paul describes one who was “caught away . . . to the third heaven” and “into paradise.” Since there is no mention in the Scriptures of any other person having had such an experience, it seems likely that this was the apostle’s own experience. Whereas some have endeavored to relate Paul’s reference to the third heaven to the early rabbinic view that there were stages of heaven, even a total of “seven heavens,” this view finds no support in the Scriptures. As we have seen, the heavens are not referred to specifically as if divided into platforms or stages, but, rather, the context must be relied upon to determine whether reference is to the heavens within earth’s atmospheric expanse, the heavens of outer space, the spiritual heavens, or something else. It therefore appears that the reference to “the third heaven” indicates the superlative degree of the rapture in which this vision was seen. Note the way words and expressions are repeated three times at Isaiah 6:3; Ezekiel 21:27; John 21:15-17; Revelation 4:8, evidently for the purpose of expressing an intensification of the quality or idea.

44 | How do you explain? | Gen 1:31 | DBR | 127163 | ||
If God created evil etc. then that would make him responsible for murdering his own Son Jesus Christ or Lord (an evil act), how can that be so when the Bible says that "God IS Love," God's Love and evil are total opposites, also God is about eradicating evil out of his creation so then he would have to eradicate himself, and that cannot be can it?

45 | god create evil | Gen 1:31 | DBR | 127159 | ||
NO James 1:13-15 When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. 14 But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death. All are free moral agents including the Angel that decided to rebel against God and made himself into the Devil and from him in one way or another stems ALL evil DBR |

47 | John8:24 and John8:57-58 | Ex 3:14 | DBR | 127129 | ||
¡°THE BEING¡± Ex 3:14 LXX According to John When writing John 8:58, the apostle was not quoting from the Greek Septuagint Version, a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures made by Greek-speaking Jews of Alexandria, Egypt, before the birth of Christ. Let anyone who reads Greek compare John 8:58 in Greek and Exodus 3:14 in the Greek Septuagint, and he will find that the Septuagint reading of Exodus 3:14 does not use the expression Eg¨® eim¨ª for God¡¯s name, when God says to Moses: ¡°I AM hath sent me unto you.¡± The Greek Septuagint uses the expression ho On, which means ¡°The Being,¡± or, ¡°The One who is.¡± This fact is clearly presented to us in Bagster¡¯s translation of the Greek Septuagint, at Exodus 3:14, which reads: ¡°And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING (ho On); and he said, Thus shall ye say to the children of Israel, THE BEING (ho On) has sent me to you.¡± According to Charles Thomson¡¯s translation of the Greek Septuagint, Exodus 3:14 reads: ¡°God spoke to Moses saying, I am The I Am (ho On). Moreover he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, The I Am (ho On) hath sent me to you.¡± Thus this comparison of the two Greek texts, that of the Septuagint and that of John 8:58, removes all basis for trinitarians to argue that Jesus, in John 8:58, was trying to fit Exodus 3:14 to himself, as if he was Jehovah God. O yes, the Greek expression ho On does occur in the apostle John¡¯s writings. It occurs in the Greek text of John 1:18; 3:13 (AV; Yg), 31; 6:40; 8:47; 12:17; 18:37, but not as a title or name. So in four of those verses it applies, not to Jesus, but to other persons. However, in the Revelation or Apocalypse the apostle John does use the expression ho On as a title or designation five times, namely, in Revelation 1:4, 8; 4:8; 11:17; 16:5. But in all five cases the expression ho On is applied to Jehovah God the Almighty, and not to the Lamb of God, the Word of God. For example, Revelation 1:4, 8 (AV) reads: ¡°John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is (ho on), and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne.¡± ¡°I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is (ho on), and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.¡± Revelation 4:8 applies ho on to the Lord God Almighty on his heavenly throne, and Revelation 5:6, 7 shows that the Lamb of God comes to him later on. Revelation 11:17 applies ho on to the Lord God Almighty when he takes power to rule as King. Revelation 16:5 applies ho ¨n to the Lord God when he acts as Judge. Hence John 8:58 fails the clergy as proof of there being a ¡°triune God,¡± for in that verse, as well translated by Dr. James Moffatt, An American Translation, and others, Jesus was saying merely that he had had a prehuman existence in heaven with his Father and that this prehuman existence began before Abraham was born.

48 | What does it mean that God adopted us? | Gal 4:1 | DBR | 127051 | ||
Adoption In the Christian Greek Scriptures adoption is mentioned several times by the apostle Paul with regard to the new status of those called and chosen by God. Such ones, born as descendants of the imperfect Adam, were in slavery to sin and did not possess inherent sonship of God. Through purchase by means of Christ Jesus, they receive the adoption as sons and also become heirs with Christ, the only-begotten Son of God. (Ga 4:1-7; Ro 8:14-17) They do not come by such sonship naturally but by God’s choice and according to his will. (Eph 1:5) While acknowledged as God’s children, or sons, from the time of God’s begetting them by his spirit (1Jo 3:1; Joh 1:12, 13), their full realization of this privilege as spirit sons of God is dependent on their ultimate faithfulness. (Ro 8:17; Re 21:7) Thus, Paul speaks of them as “earnestly waiting for adoption as sons, the release from our bodies by ransom.”—Ro 8:23. Such adopted state brings benefits of freedom from “a spirit of slavery causing fear,” replacing it with the confidence of sons; of hope of a heavenly inheritance assured by the witness of God’s spirit. At the same time these spiritual sons are reminded by their adoption that such position is by God’s undeserved kindness and selection rather than by their inherent right.—Ro 8:15, 16; Ga 4:5-7. DBR |

The Bible shows that Hebrew men and Christian men had Short hair:- 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 "Does not nature itself teach YOU that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him; 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory." The Shroud shows some man with LONG hair, thus it cannot be Jesus as he live what he taught others ref: the above text. Only men who took the Nazarite Vow where alowed to grow long hair, Jesus did not do that. DBR |
