41 | Two Creation Stories? | Gen 1:1 | serenetime | 41949 | ||
Hey Steve, Thanks for your input, but I see two creations, because one was created male and female on the sixth day and I see Adam created after the seventh day where God rested. Your Sister in the Living Water of Truth, SERENETIME |

42 | Two Creation Stories? | Gen 1:1 | serenetime | 41879 | ||
Hey sweetpea0413, Gen 1:26-27 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. KJV Gen 2:7 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. KJV You will notice that in Gen. 2 he says he formed man (man alone), but in Gen. 1 he says made them male and female, and in Gen. 2 he says he formed man and then later took a rib from Adam a formed Woman. There is a separation in Gen.2 and in a different point in time, and he made male and female at one time in Gen. 1. Do you have eyes to See? Great question!!!!!!!!!! I hope I've been a help!

New Creature, I appreciate your efforts on seeking out as much information on this subject and in the scriptures. But I truly believe by what you said is that whatever we choose is ok with the Father (God) because our flesh bodies go back to the earth anyway and it's our souls is what is being preserved is what's important, wouldn't you agree?

45 | Bible Reference: "Sea of Forgetfulness" | Ps 103:12 | serenetime | 41019 | ||
itsy4u, I've enjoyed all I've read. Another thought comes to mind also what is written in Hebrews. Heb 8:1-13 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Notice what it says in verse 12, I will remember no more (unrighteousness, and sins). But he is MERCIFUL. Thank you Father for the Peace through Iesous. Phil 4:7 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. KJV John 14:16-20 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

46 | Is JESUS a ticket to heaven or is a way | John 14:6 | serenetime | 40979 | ||
goodguy golfer, Just a few other scriptures that I feel go well with your question. Matt 7:14-15 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. KJV 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. KJV Matt 7:22-23 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. KJV Matt 19:23-24 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. KJV Because you remember that before Iesous (Jesus) says to the rich man in verse 21, Matt 19:21 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. KJV And he was not willing to do that in verse 22, Mark 10:22 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. KJV And for the word (rich) it renders this meaning in the original Greek. NT:4146 plousios (ploo-see'-oce); adverb from NT:4145; copiously: KJV - abundantly, richly. NT:4145 plousios (ploo'-see-os); from NT:4149; wealthy; figuratively, abounding with: KJV - rich. NT:4149 ploutos (ploo'-tos); from the base of NT:4130; wealth (as fulness), i.e. (literally) money, possessions, or (figuratively) abundance, richness, (specifically) valuable bestowment: KJV - riches. NT:4130 pletho (play'-tho); a prolonged form of a primary pleo (pleh'-o) (which appears only as an alternate in certain tenses and in the reduplicated form pimplemi); to "fill" (literally or figuratively [imbue, influence, supply]); specifically, to fulfil (time): KJV - accomplish, full (... come), furnish. Matt 6:24 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. KJV NT:3126 (mammon) mamonas (mam-o-nas') or mammonas (mam-mo-nas'); of Aramaic origin (confidence, i.e. wealth, personified); mammonas, i.e. avarice (deified): KJV - mammon. We need to know Iesous (Jesus) in our hearts and have a personal relationship with him through the scriptures. We can't trust in material things and money. Also the scripture says there will be false prophets. And there are many out there right now. Seek him daily in prayer, and ask for wisdom and understanding of the Word in Truth. There's your ticket. Matt 11:29-12:1 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. KJV I hope I have helped. In the Father and the Son of pure Love and Wisdom and understanding. Your Friend, SERENETIME |

47 | What does this mean? | Matt 27:46 | serenetime | 40237 | ||
Carmencita, Interesting question. I would like to NT:2241 Eli (ay-lee') or Eloi (ay-lo'-ee); of Hebrew origin [OT:410 with pronominal suffix]; my God: KJV - Eli. NT:2982 (why) lema (leh-mah') or lama (lam-ah'); or lamma (lam-mah'); of Hebrew origin [OT:4100 with prepositional prefix]; lama (i.e. why): KJV - lama. NT:4518 sabachthani (sab-akh-than-ee'); of Aramaic or [OT:7662 with pronominal suffix]; thou hast left me; sabachthani (i.e. shebakthani), a cry of distress: KJV - sabachthani. So in this, it means My God, My God, why have you left me? Pretty scary? Oh by the way, my kids call me Mammacita, I love your name! Serenetime |

48 | Is tithe used for Min. or Bldg or both? | Num 18:28 | serenetime | 40222 | ||
Hey HEWEsq., I just got done answering a question regarding tithing recently. I personnally don't think that tithing is correct, but when it comes to giving a money offering to a church where you are being taught the true word of God, chapter by chapter and line by line and you're growing spiritually then it's appropriate. If you feel you are learning the word by your Pastor and or ministers in depth in the original languages in which they were written of the OT and the NT. But most of the time you will not find this type of teaching. So I would pray on whether to give a money offering to any church. As for where it's suppose to goes, it should go to where ever it's going to benefit the teaching of the true word of God, I hope I've helped.

49 | CAN THE HOLY SPRIT BE CONTROLLED? | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 40201 | ||
quietone, It says in scripture that John 16:7-8 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: KJV Acts 11:16-17 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? KJV If Jesus said he would send a comforter in this life, which signifies his spirit, then he have no control, wouldn't you agree?

50 | Bible and evolution both? | Gen 1:1 | serenetime | 40200 | ||
Hey Hank, I totally agree! It does totally contradict. Nowhere in scripture does it say we descended from apes. Gen 1:26-27 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. KJV So if we were made in God's image, then God was an ape and we are now humans? And man was an ape and evolved into a human. SERENETIME |

After all this contraversy, How about the fact there is this Gen 3:15 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. KJV So at least we know there is the serpent's seed and Adam and Eve's seed. I would digress on the issue of who married Cain, but I feel on this forum I am fighting a losing battle with some. So if there are two seeds, then what's up? Serenetime |

54 | Doubleminded? | Ps 119:113 | serenetime | 39239 | ||
Lovefountain, James 1:2-8 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. KJV NT:1374 dipsuchos (dip'-soo-khos); from NT:1364 and NT:5590; two-spirited, i.e. vacillating (in opinion or purpose): KJV - double minded. The word to vacillate in the Websters encyclopedia of dictionaries is rendered: to move to and fro; to waver; to be unsteady; to flucuate in opinion. In my opinion this is saying that we are constantly being tempted by the adversary in our flesh. If we continue in seeking The Father in prayer and in the word asking for his wisdom, not the wisdom of this world. The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. We will never be exempt from satan's devices, but we have the victory through the true word, the true messiah, the spoken word. Mark 4:15 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. You see he is constantly trying to take the word out our hearts. DON'T LET HIM!!!! KJV 1 Cor 1:20 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? KJV 1 Cor 1:27-31 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. KJV Keep your chin up, The Living Water (the Father) knows our hearts. Luke 16:15 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. KJV the Father knows we struggle, but it's ok as long as we don't let our fleshly nature take over, wouldn't you agree?

Hi Nolan, I would just like to say that by telling someone they are WRONG is harse considering we are all here to learn from one another in LOVE. Losing one's patience is not what Iesous (Jesus) would do, don't you agree? You may not agree, but this is a interesting subject to some whom are trying very hard to understand the true meaning of scriptures.

Lovefountain, Could it also be that if one is lost he can found again as in the story of the wayward son? Of course! If Judas was lost, I believe the scriptures say he was found again upon repentance. Do you agree? Satan has not repented. Luke 15:24 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. You Sister in the Living Word of Truth, SERENETIME KJV |

57 | does God ever say no | 2 Cor 12:7 | serenetime | 39194 | ||
Cody, In 2 Cor 12:7-9 it says, 7) And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8) For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. KJV In verse 7) he was given a thorn in his side because of the abundance of revelations that were shown to him, so he would not exalt himself to highly than he should. Also that he should be buffeted by satan to keep him humble. In verse 9, the word grace in the original Greek means, NT:5485 charis (khar-ece); from NT:5463; graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude): KJV - acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace (-ious), joy, liberality, pleasure, thank (-s, -worthy). NT:5463 chairo (khah-ee-ro); a primary verb; to be "cheerful", i.e. calmly happy or well-off; impersonally, especially as salutation (on meeting or parting), be well: KJV - farewell, be glad, God speed, greeting, hall, joy (-fully), rejoice. And the word grace in all the NT has the same meaning except in (James 1:11) which is #2143 in the Greek. The word sufficient in the original Greek is NT:714 arkeo (ar-keh-o); apparently a primary verb (but probably akin to NT:142 through the idea of raising a barrier); properly, to ward off, i.e. (by implication) to avail (figuratively, be satisfactory): KJV - be content, be enough, suffice, be sufficient. NT:142 airo (ah-ee-ro); a primary root; to lift up; by implication, to take up or away; figuratively, to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind), specially, to sail away (i.e. weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare OT:5375) to expiate sin: KJV - away with, bear (up), carry, lift up, loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, take (away, up). OT:5375 nasa (naw-saw); or nacah (Ps 4:6 [OT:7]) (naw-saw); a primitive root; to lift, in a great variety of applications, literal and figurative, absol. and rel. (as follows): KJV - accept, advance, arise, (able to, (armor), suffer to) bear (-er, up), bring (forth), burn, carry (away), cast, contain, desire, ease, exact, exalt (self), extol, fetch, forgive, furnish, further, give, go on, help, high, hold up, honorable (man), lade, lay, lift (self) up, lofty, marry, magnify, X needs, obtain, pardon, raise (up), receive, regard, respect, set (up), spare, stir up, swear, take (away, up), X utterly, wear, yield. OT:7 abad (Aramaic) (ab-ad); corresponding to OT:6: KJV - destroy, perish. OT:6 abad (aw-bad); a primitive root; properly, to wander away, i.e. lose oneself; by implication to perish (causative, destroy): KJV - break, destroy (-uction), not escape, fail, lose, (cause to, make) perish, spend, X and surely, take, be undone, X utterly, be void of, have no way to flee. In it being sufficient, I see that it's to be satisfied, to raise up a barrier (of protection) (in trusting God The Father in all things) To be content (in what he gives us). Having full reliance on HIM in order to humble us. Be enough (we have ALL of what we need) and in #142 it says to expiate sin. The word expiate in the New World Dictionary: To make satisfaction or atonement, to appease, to make amends or reparation for wrongdoing or guilt, to atone for. Also it says, to pay the penalty of; to suffer for. This is where Iesous (Jesus) comes in where he paid the penalty, and suffered for us that we may be forgiven for our shortcomings in this age. So you see we are to content, that we don't exalt ourselves any higher that we need to, and to keep full reliance on the Father and and trusting him. To keep ourselves humble before him. I hope I've helped. In the Love of the Living Water of My Father, SERENETIME |

58 | Why claim your tithes on your taxes? | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 37023 | ||
Hi Lifechanger, Interesting question! I agree with heisthe 1. But I also wanted to mention that we should be tithing to a church or ministry where we are being taught the true word of God. Especially where you are being taught chapter by chapter, and line by line in order to understand the full meaning. Not just someone who gives us a verse 1 or 2 and then gives their interpretation, because one verse here and there can be easily be taken out of context, and not recieved correctly. That's why it's so very important for us as christians to be reading and studying the word for ourselves. Then we will know if we are tithing to the right ministry, because let's face it God wants us to know his word. Chew it up and absorb it into our hearts. The word says there will be many false prophets and teachers and will decieve many? Matt 7:15-27, 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Matt.4:11 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. KJV 2 Cor 11:13 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.KJV 2 Tim 4:3-7 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. KJV 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: KJV 2 Peter 2:1-2 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. KJV And I for one do not want to tithe into a ministry that's teaching wrong. Tithing first in faith to support the true word of God ministry to keep the true word coming to many. That's what God wants and therefore it goes to God. I don't really agree with the claiming it on our taxes, because are we not to trust God to provide for us in every area of our lives? John 4:14 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. I hope I've helped!! IN THE LIVING WATER OF TRUTH, SERENETIME |

59 | Rev 3:16 lukewarm | Rev 3:16 | serenetime | 35073 | ||
Zach, I don't want to insult anyone, but then again there can be people who claim to be Christians that have no desire to give up certain things. I know for myself I have had some problems in some areas in my own life after being saved in 1986. But professing to be a Christian is not all it takes. I had a hard time giving up some things I knew were contrary to the word of God, but was constantly seeking God's Wisdom and strength to overcome. Alot of us have had this problem, but we should always have a desire to overcome this. We will always be ever confronted with this world and it's evil, but always striving and asking for guidance. But I think in this perticular scripture Jesus is talking to one's that truly have no desire to fully give up the ways of the world, they're straddling the fence. They want the best of both worlds. It has to be of the heart, in that the Father know's our heart and thoughts and desires, and knows if we desire true holiness in serving him. We all struggle, but if our heart is truly right, and we make mistakes we can be forgiven for our mistakes. Praise God for his Mercy!!! Love in the Father's Perfection, Serenetime | ||||||
60 | Rev 3:16 lukewarm | Rev 3:16 | serenetime | 35062 | ||
Zach, In this old church I used to attend they gave this saying "straddling the fence". I've always loved that saying, because what it was saying is that the person or persons are inbetween on their direction and discision in life whether to serve God and commit to him fully, or continue to be doing things that the world around us does that is contrary to Holy Living and Living by what the Word of God says. It's like the Christian who lives like the world all during the week, and on Sundays goes to Church and portrays him or herself to serving God fully and completely. These people have not totally made a full commitment to living and serving God fully in every moment of their lives. I hope this helps you. In the Love of the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||
