Hi Joe read my note to raven it explains my reasonong. | ||||||
43 | What do you base this on? | Bible general Archive 1 | Sctt | 44118 | ||
Hi Raven I'll try to explain the 3 options as best I can. The first 2 i'll just touch on as I myself lean towards the antichrist. The 3 opinion will be in more detail.Lets start by looking at who Lucifer is , he is called the king of Babylon Is.14:4 and he is said to be a man verse 16. Now if Lucifer is Satan how come he is called a man? nowhere in the bible that I know of does it call Satan a man. So this rules out Satan being Lucifer. Now as to Lucifer being Adam it is taken from Eze.28:12-19 says thou hast been in Eden the garden of God,and speaks of the day thou wast created. Now we know Adam was indeed in the garden of Eden,and we know that he was created. Now because the word created is used here and God only created Adam (all others are born,their reasoning not mine) It is believed that this can only be Adam. But God uses the word created for more then just Adam as seen in Ps.102:18, Is.43:7,21:30,and Mal.2:10. So you can see the reasoning behind those that believe this to be Adam. Now as to the antichrist which is who I believe this to be. Is.14:13-14 Lucifer says in his 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: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Now read 2Thes.2:3-10 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Are they not speaking of the same person. Now lets look in Eze.28:11-16 I will give way to Adam Clarke on this part as he understands Hebrew far better then I. Verse 12. Thou sealest up] This has been translated, "Thou drawest thy own likeness."Thou formest a portrait of thyself;and hast represented thyself the perfection of wisdom and beauty." I believe this to be the meaning of the place. Verse 13. Thou hast been in Eden] This also is a strong irony.Thou art like Adam, when in his innocence and excellence he was in the garden of Eden! Every precious stone was thy covering] Verse 14. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth] The irony is continued; and here he is likened to the CHERUB that guarded the gates of Paradise, and kept the way of the tree of life; or to one of the cherubs whose wings, spread out, covered the mercy-seat. Thou mast upon the holy mountain of God] The irony is still continued; and now he is compared to Hoses, and afterwards to one of the chief angels, who has walked up and down among the stones of fire; that is, thy floors have been paved withprecious stones, that shone and sparkled like fire. Verse 15. Thou wast perfect in thy ways] The irony seems still to be kept up. Thou hast been like the angels, like Moses, like the cherubs, like Adam, like God, till thy iniquity was found out. From Adam Clarkes commentary on Eze.28:12-15. Now look at this in the light of Is.14:12-14 and 2Thes.2:3-10 do they not all point to the antichrist. All scripture taken from KJV. In Christ Scott. |

44 | Year Long Sabbath | Acts 1:3 | Sctt | 44050 | ||
Hi Makarios I don't disagree ,but I think what Nimrod2 and I are trying to say is that a sabbath can be longer then just a day , as these scriptures show that a sabbath to be a year.I'm not saying this scripture relates to a sabbath day only that a sabbath can be longer then a day.

45 | How did sin originate | Bible general Archive 1 | Sctt | 43881 | ||
Hi new creature you asked How did sin originate? I look at it like this:GEN.3:1-7 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden. Who is this serpent that is so subtil ( crafty , sly , shrewd ) and has the gift of speech? Unregenerated man ( man without Christ in his life ). Who else but man has the gift of speech , and can reason. You may say a parrot can talk but can it reason? Balaams ass spoke but it was God that opened her mouth NU.22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam. Nowhere is it said that God opened the mouth of the serpent. This serpent has the gift of speech and can still talk and reason today. Now some have said that the serpent lost its gift of speech as part of its punishment , but nowhere in the bible does it say this. Therefore we must conclude that the serpent can still talk today. Who else is this then but Unregenerated man. Now this serpent ( man ) comes and reasons with the woman to deceive her into disobedience to Gods command. Now in order to understand how the woman was deceived we have to look at what God says concerning the tree of Knowledge of good and evil. GEN.2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. What is this tree that can bring death to man? Now we know that death comes because of sin RO.5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin. Therefore we can see that it is sin that brings death to man , but what brings us the knowledge of what sin is? The law. RO.3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Therefore the tree of knowledge of good and evil is the law for by eating of the tree death entered into the world. Now is the knowledge of good and evil ( the law ) sin RO.7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. So then if the eating of the law was not sin what was? Was it not in the breaking of the commandment THOU SHALT NOT, the fruit itself was not the sin , for after God created all the trees He saw that it was good.Gen.1:12 So then why did God command man not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil if there was nothing sinful in the fruit. Is it not because God placed a covering over man in the commandment THOU SHALT NOT , so that man would not see his sinful nature (remember man was created outside of the garden ) because when man sees himself though the eyes of a righteous God his sins overwhelm him and he runs and hides from God , just as Adam hid himself when his eyes became open. Where else do we find the phase THOU SHALT NOT is it not in the commandments that God set down for all men. (Ten commandments ) Therefore the phase THOU SHALT NOT is a commandment of covering , if we listen to it we do not eat of our sinful nature, but we have a foreshadowing of the covering that Jesus Christ gives us. Therefore it was not the eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that was mans sin but the breaking of the commandment THOU SHALT NOT. Now as to Lucifer I have heard 3 differant points of view on who he was 1st Satan, 2nd Adam ,3rd the Antichrist. I think the scriptures rule out Satan because we no that by man sin entered into the world.So I think it to be the 2nd or 3rd option. I myself lean towards the Antichrist. |

46 | LOOKING FOR MICHAEL VS SATAN OVER MOSES | Jude 1:9 | Sctt | 43873 | ||
Hi Emiesue, I don't beleave it is stated anywhere else but in Jude. However I did read somewhere that it is in the Apocrypha writings , but this I cannot be sure of as I do not read them because I do not beleave them to be part of the Holy Scriptures. In Christ Scott. | ||||||
47 | Year Long Sabbath | Acts 1:3 | Sctt | 43871 | ||
Hi Makarios , you write where in Leviticus 25:1-7 do you see any reference to a 'year long Sabbath'? Verse 3-4 seems plain to me , we are to work the land for six years ,but in the seventh year you are not to work the land as it is a sabbath for the Lord. Therefore you have a sabbath that last one year. In Christ Scott |

50 | 24 hour days are based on what? | Gen 1:2 | Sctt | 43694 | ||
Hi Doug , I have been having the same discussion on another link called time. I'll give you a quick summery of the two differant opinions on the word day in Gen. 1 a day is 24 hrs and thats all it is. 2 a day with God can have an infinite numberand does not mean just 24 hrs. I'm of the 2nd opinion. If you would like to check it out type Acts 1:3 in the question/notes and then access the word time.In Christ Scott |

Hi Tim welcome, 2Pet.3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. You state that those that originaly read Gen. would not understand a principle not revealed until 2Pet. But I beleave the people of old did understand this princilpe,because Peter say be not ignorant of this one thing. Ignorant has this meaning 1. lanthano (2990), “to escape notice,” is translated “they (wilfully) forget” in 2 Pet. 3:5, rv, lit., “this escapes them (i.e., their notice, wilfully on their part),” kjv, “they willingly are ignorant of”; in v. 8, rv, “forget not,” lit., “let not this one thing escape you” (your notice), kjv, “be not ignorant of W.E. Vine, Merrill F. Unger and William White, Vine’s complete expository dictionary of Old and New Testament words [computer file], electronic ed., Logos Library System, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson) 1997, c1996. So they are told not to willfuly forget that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,and a thousand years as one day.Now to willfully forget something would mean we had to know it to begin with. Now as conserning Jeremiah this was the priest and prophets and all the people that said unto Jeremiah thou shalt surely die. They said this because they didn't like what Jeremiah prophesied unto them. God keeps safe his own, and God was not done with Jeremiah. If it was God that said because you have prophisied falsely you are going to die ,well then goodbye Jeremiah. God keeps life and takes life as He sees fit,not as men do. As to Jonathan Saul would have killed him but the people withstood him,because God by Jonathans hand won the day. So you see it was because of God that Jonathan was not killed,for if God had allowed the battle to be lost Jonathan would have been killed by Saul,because the people would have thought that the battle was lost because Jonathan unnowingly went agaist Saul command. Now as you say it was a death sentance placed upon Adam this I can agree to ,but Adam still died before the 1000 years was up. Question: you take a litteral stance on day but when it come to the day of Adam death you take a spiritual stance. How come? As said before I take both a litteral and a spiritual stance. One more thought in Gen.2:4 it say These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. Now these generations (all six days of Gods creative work)are said to be in the Day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. Now if God says all six days of creation are a day whos to say how long a day realy is? In Christ Scott |

53 | time | Acts 1:3 | Sctt | 43204 | ||
Hi Makarios I can see that you and Hank are of the same opinion this subject but you state that my theory of 1000 years as one day and one day as a 1000 years is proven wrong.Bear with me one more time as I try to make myself clear. God told Adam he would die in the day he ate of the fruit of the tree,you maintain this to be a spiritual death,I on the other hand maintain it to be both a spiritual death and a natural death.He died a spiritual death the moment he ate of the fruit of the tree , this was the beginning of that day, the beginning of the 1000 year day , but he also died within the 1000 years at 930 years of age. It was in this 1000 year day that Adam had his sons and daughters.Adam did not live past 1000 years of age so he in fact died a natural death before the day was over.Lets look at the word die it comes from the Hebrew word MUWTH and has this meaning 4191 muwth (mooth) a primitive root; TWOT - 1169; v AV - die 424, dead 130, slay 100, death 83, surely 50, kill 31, dead man 3, dead body 2, in no wise 2, misc 10; 835 GK - 4637 tWm 1) to die, kill, have one executed 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to die 1a2) to die (as penalty), be put to death 1a3) to die, perish (of a nation) 1a4) to die prematurely (by neglect of wise moral conduct) 1b) (Polel) to kill, put to death, dispatch 1c) (Hiphil) to kill, put to death 1d) (Hophal) 1d1) to be killed, be put to death 1d1a) to die prematurely Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon, (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) 1995. Nowhere here does it state anything about a spiritual death or seperation from God. If you take a litteral stance to the scriptures Adam had to die a natural death in the day he ate of the fruit of the tree,and as the bible does not lie , the 1000 year one day principle is the only alternative to what God said " for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die". The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. To take a day is a day and that is all it is is makeing God a liar,I cannot except this as God DOES NOT LIE. 2Pet.3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. Now as to Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.One blood. You say this is Adam , I beleave this to be Jesus Christ.May God bless you and I hope we can come together again and reason the scripures together. Your brother in Christ Scott. |

Hi Hank it seems we are not going to come to an agreement on this as I do see it as a spiritual death and a natural death. But you did ask one finnal question that I will answer to. Why must we insist on reading into scripture what is not written into scripture? Nowhere in the bible that I can find does it say Adam died a spiritual death ,if I'm wrong please show me the scripture as it may be of help. But if there is no scripture in the bible that shows this was a spiritual death are you not reading into the scriptures what is not written in them. The scriptures do say however that Adam did die a natural death. God bless Hank, and I hope we can come to agreement on other scriptures as we reason them out together.In Christ Scott. | ||||||

Hi Hank I do beleive that Adam died a spiritual death , but that he also died a natural death as well. Makarios stated that a day is a day,and will not allow for it to be longer then a day(at least that my understaning of what he is saying) ,and I was trying to explain that a day could also represent a 1000 years. If you read all my corispondances to those on this link you will see I beleive there is both a natural and a spiritual application to the scriptures.In Christ Scott |

56 | time | Acts 1:3 | Sctt | 43035 | ||
Hi Makarios I'm not saying 930 years is not 930 years , or 6 days not 6 days. What i'm trying to say is that the 930 years of Adam life was less then the (1) day that God told Adam he would die in. When God told Adam he would die in the DAY that he ate of the fruit of the tree Adam died. Adam died at 930 years of age , the bible says in the Day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. So one DAY is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one DAY 2Pet.3:8KJV , so Adam died before the DAY was completed.So if God makes a differance here in the day of Adams death ,whos to say that He did not also do this on the days of creation? I hope this helps answer the question on 4-8-2. Questions to you , did Adam die in the day God said he would? If your answer is yes does this not show a 1000 year one day principle? In Christ Scott |
