63 | Are we gods? | John 10:34 | DBR | 127558 | ||
Well Adam and Eve should have remained obeying their Creator, God, to whom they should have looked to in making any decisions as to what was good or bad, He should have remained their only guide in there life, which he was for a time. Then Satan set himself up as a (false) God, he wanted their obedience:- 2 Cor 4:4 "In whom the god (Satan The Devil) of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." And Eve listened to his evil ideas instead of her Creators, so Satan then became her God because of her obedience to him etc.. Now to Adam, he should have listened to His God and Father so as to obey his God, or we can say obey His rule as God and Creator. Adam decided to OBEY someone else:- Gen 3:17 "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;" So Adam now also shifted his allegiance to Satan via His wife so as he listened to his wife’s voice and not that of his maker, she then became a substitute for God The Father as Adam obeyed Her now. So we now have a matriarchal system of rule by Adams consent thus she became his ruler in place God his maker to whom he owed ALL allegiance, he followed her decisions of what was Good or Bad, as she made the decision to obey the serpent thus making herself a substitute for God the creator, She became Adam’s God as he obeyed her instead of God the Father e.g. the false religious leaders in Jesus made Satan the "Father" and God as they obeyed him by doing things his way, as Jesus pointed out, John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Much the Same in the Garden in Eden as this is where false religion first started by changing of obedance from the true God to a self made gods, 1st Satan then Eve as she now made the deisions of what was to be right and wrong instead of The Father in essence she supplanted the Father for Adam, but as we now know under the influence of the Devil who had by their own choice become their father, thus the start of false religion and false gods.

67 | What does "gods" mean here? | John 10:34 | DBR | 127519 | ||
Psalms 82:1-8 "God is stationing himself in the assembly of the Divine One*; In the middle of the gods** he judges: "How long will YOU keep on judging with injustice And showing partiality to the wicked themselves? Be judges for the lowly one and the fatherless boy. To the afflicted one and the one of little means do justice. Provide escape for the lowly one and the poor one; Out of the hand of the wicked ones deliver [them]." They have not known, and they do not understand; In darkness they keep walking about; All the foundations of the earth are made to totter. "I myself have said, 'YOU are gods***, And all of YOU are sons of the Most High. . . ." *"Or, “God.” Heb., ´El; LXXVg, “gods”; Sy, “angels.”" **"Or, “godlike ones.” Heb., ´elo·him'; LXXVgc, “gods”; Sy, “angels”; T, “judges.”" ***"Or, “godlike ones.” Heb., ´elo·him'; Gr., the·oi'; Syr., da´·la·hin; Lat., di'i; T, like angels.” N.I.V.

69 | YHWH, God's only name | Ex 3:14 | DBR | 127504 | ||
I agree with you as this is seen in the KJV 1611 Edition of the Holy Bible at Psalm 83 (LXXXIII) vs 18:- "That men knowe, that thou whose name is IEHOVAH: art the most High ouer all the earth." And:- THE NAME OF GOD THE FATHER "The NAME of God is described as his holy name more often than all other adjectival qualifications taken together. It was this sense of the sacredness of the name that finally led to the obtuse refusal to use 'Yahweh', leading as it has done to a deep lose of sense of the divine name in EV (with the notable exception of the J.B.). The holiness of the name, however, does not remove if from use but from abuse: this is the reason why revelation of the divine name must never confused with any thought of magical power with the divine. Far from man being able to use the name to control God, it is the name which controls man, both in worship Godward (e.g. Lv 18:21) and in service manward (e.g. Rom 1:5). The NAME is thus the motive of service; it is also the message (e.g. Acts 9:15), and the means of power (e.g. Acts 3:16; 4:12)."-'NEW BIBLE DICTIONARY', second edition p.813, also see p.430 DBR |

70 | Is this response directed toward me? | Rom 8:30 | DBR | 127503 | ||
No. Its is somtimes easier to find the positive by first iliminating the negative, e.g. practicing thieves could not be part of the "forordained" as the Sctiptures say:- Ephesians 4:28 Let the stealer steal no more,. . . or some other direct command from God that is not being followed. DBR |

Perhaps it might be better to see from the Bible who would not be included in the above because they do not obey Scriptual principles and see where this takes you? This may be a good starting point:- Jeremiah 7:23-24 But this word I did express in command upon them, saying: “Obey my voice, and I will become YOUR God, and YOU yourselves will become my people; and YOU must walk in all the way that I shall command YOU, in order that it may go well with YOU.”’ 24 But they did not listen, neither did they incline their ear, but they went walking in the counsels in the stubbornness of their bad heart, so that they became backward in direction and not forward, Exodus 19:5-6 And now if YOU will strictly obey my voice and will indeed keep my covenant, then YOU will certainly become my special property out of all [other] peoples, because the whole earth belongs to me. 6 And YOU yourselves will become to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to say to the sons of Israel.” James 3:17-18 But the wisdom from above is first of all chaste, then peaceable, reasonable, ready to obey, full of mercy and good fruits, not making partial distinctions, not hypocritical. 18 Moreover, the fruit of righteousness has its seed sown under peaceful conditions for those who are making peace. Romans 6:12-14 Therefore do not let sin continue to rule as king in YOUR mortal bodies that YOU should obey their desires. 13 Neither go on presenting YOUR members to sin as weapons of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, also YOUR members to God as weapons of righteousness. 14 For sin must not be master over YOU, seeing that YOU are not under law but under undeserved kindness. Acts 5:29 In answer Peter and the [other] apostles said: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men. DBR |

If there is no Magic why did God condemn it? Examples Leviticus 19:26 “‘YOU must not look for omens, and YOU must not practice magic. Exodus 7:11 However, Phar´aoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and the magic-practicing priests of Egypt themselves also proceeded to do the same thing with their magic arts. Deuteronomy 18:10-11 There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, 11 or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead.
