62 | What light was created on day one? | John 9:5 | compudex | 100254 | ||
What light was created on day one of creation since the sun and moon and stars were not created until the fourth day? Day One: Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Day Four: Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, Gen 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. |

Thank you for your suggestions. It is possible for plants to live for a day without sun light. It does rules out the theory that each creative day was a thousand years long as some interpret. | ||||||

Hello mommapbs, After some time to ponder on these things, certain other questions have come forward. You said: "I don't know if "created" is the proper word" Well, we are talking about creation aren't we? Like in six days! Or don't we count the first day? You said: "an interesting concept to consider: dividing of the light from the darkness . . . could this be the separation of Lucifer and his followers as a result of their rebellion?" Again this answer has nothing to do about creation of the earth. You said: "So where did the light come from for them to grow and reproduce?" If they were made infant plants on day five Adam would have nothing to eat on day six. Do plants grow, mature and reproduce in one day? No, they were made mature. i.e. which came first, the chicken or the egg? You need the chicken to get the egg. Gen 1:11 "...the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself..." Not the seed yielding a tree, but the tree yielding a seed. But, anyway, thank you for your answers. As asking God what He meant by these words I have come to the conclusion that they mean exaclty what they say. He created light. He created the, if you will, the mechanics or physics of the laws of light. And since we comprehend most things by how we see them it is with light that these things are understood. For a blind person from birth has no concept of exactly how a tree looks. Without light creation would be formless to us. It has been said that the eye is the entrance to the brain. Then He created the heavenly bodies to use these laws and to emit that light upon the earth. I understand your spiritual meanings, but these things mentioned in Genesis are physical. In the beginning God created... Peace to you. compudex |

Oh, how true that is. And blindness takes many forms! You wrote: "Certainly the creation of light enables us to not only distinguish everything else that He has created, but it gives us an opportunity to understand the difference it makes in our lives when we dewll in darkness." What a bunch of tripe. How can you understand the difference when you dwell in darkness? No more platitudes, please. BUT we are talking about creation, not spirituality. Today we see the truth. But in the days of creation things were not so clear, were they? I myself can be heavenly minded, but when it comes to explaining simple fact or discussing light and dark, ABOUT CREATION, then we must be a little more earthly. It has been said that some are so heavenly minded they are no earthly good. I did not say this. Peace to you. compudex |

Well, I appreciate your response. I was not trying to be nasty just trying to be honest. I was asking a question about creation and all I got was some spiritual stuff. Maybe I am dwelling in darkness or maybe some just haven't seen the light. Anyway if you filed an abuse claim then you have that privilage. I am looking for some answers not some theories. That what this forum is about, right? I guess the MAIN question to my mind is why did God create man? I will post this as a new thread. Thanks. Peace to you. compudex |

Thank you sister, and no harm was meant. But I find a lot of responses that do not have anything to do with the subject at hand, and yours, in this case, was one of those. I cannot see (blind) why some cannot answer the question as presented. I look for answers to questions I have and if the responses are not about the question then what use is there in asking? Maybe some just like to sit by the computer and play. This is not play to me. Either truth or don't respond. Peace to you compudex |

68 | When is it time to say no? | John 10:33 | compudex | 111023 | ||
When do we say 'No!" to the small but steady corruption to the Word of God? In grammar when a sentence is written with pronouns in the third person it is completely legal to replace those pronouns with their respective proper personal pronouns. Example: Tom Brown is a very tall man. Then Jim said, "Is he the one playing center position on the basketball team?" Can also be written:(legally replacing the pronoun with its respective proper personal pronoun) Tom Brown is a very tall man. Then Jim said, "Is Tom Brown the one playing center position on the basketball team?" It is by context that the men in the synagogue did NOT know that Jesus was the Son of God in the following verses: (Mat 13:54 KJV) And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? (Mat 13:55 KJV) Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? (Mat 13:56 KJV) And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? (Mat 13:57 KJV) And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. (Mat 13:58 KJV) And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Now take into consideration the following translation from the NASB: (Mat 13:54 NASB) He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers? (Mat 13:55 NASB) "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? (Mat 13:56 NASB) "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" (Mat 13:57 NASB) And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household." (Mat 13:58 NASB) And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. When the NASB capitalized some of the pronouns, changing "his mother", "his brothers" and "his sisters" to "His mother", "His brothers" and "His sisters" thus giving the pronouns the connotation of divinity we should be able to replace the pronouns with their respective proper personal pronoun. This would give us the following translation for Mat 13:55, 56: "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not the Son of God's mother called Mary, and the Son of God's brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And the Son of God's sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" By capitalizing these pronouns it compromises the true meaning of these verses. It changes the aspect that the men of the synagogue DID know who it was teaching them. And since the NASB also inserted quote marks even makes the corruption worse by then saying that these were the exact words of the man speaking them. If you are going to quote a man, you must quote the man. Grammatically, it is illegal to do otherwise. And in today's world you could get sued for doing so. This type of translation corrupts the very meaning of the context of these verses. Ascribing divinity to a quote when it was not intended. Do we care about these minor little things that will eventually become the norm? Or should we just stand by and say nothing? No malice is intended and any answers to this should also bare this in mind. compudex |

69 | ABANDONED WIFE: Can remarry? | John 14:27 | compudex | 101602 | ||
Dear arapga, By your description she already knows the answer. If she is able she could file for divorce of adultery on behalf of her husband's conduct. She could then get some help with child support. But, again it would be most convenient for her to stay divorced. If she does not ponder on her estate and can look straight into the heavens and say, "not as I will but your will be done" then she will reap much reward. One of those rewards will be peace of mind. And the security that she has done the right thing. If not, both parties, her and the churchmate, will be in jeapordy of willful sin. The whole congregation of her church and his church should bombard heaven with pray for the willful husband. Call in your prayer request to as many pray lines you can think of and get this man to the light. The single churchmate should be the one to spearhead this quest, if he loves her as stated. The parties will be in double jeopardy because their union would be without faith and so they will compound their error even more. Praying for you! |

71 | WHY IS THE BLOOD THE PRICE? | Rom 5:6 | compudex | 101541 | ||
May the following be offered for your evaluation: (Gen 3:21) Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Commentary from Mathew Henry Gen 3:21 - We have here a further instance of God's care concerning our first parents, notwithstanding their sin. Though he corrects his disobedient children, and put them under the marks of his displeasure, yet he does not disinherit them, but, like a tender father, provides the herb of the field for their food and coats of skins for their clothing. Thus the father provided for the returning prodigal, Luk_15:22, Luk_15:23. If the Lord had been pleased to kill them, he would not have done this for them. Observe, 1. That clothes came in with sin. We should have had no occasion for them, either for defence or decency, if sin had not made us naked, to our shame. Little reason therefore we have to be proud of our clothes, which are but the badges of our poverty and infamy. 2. That when God made clothes for our first parents he made them warm and strong, but coarse and very plain: not robes of scarlet, but coats of skin. Their clothes were made, not of silk and satin, but plain skins; not trimmed, nor embroidered, none of the ornaments which the daughters of Sion afterwards invented, and prided themselves in. Let the poor, that are meanly clad, learn hence not to complain: having food and a covering, let them be content; they are as well done to as Adam and Eve were. And let the rich, that are finely clad, learn hence not to make the putting on of apparel their adorning, 1Pe_3:3. 3. That God is to be acknowledged with thankfulness, not only in giving us food, but in giving us clothes also, Gen_28:20. The wool and the flax are his, as well as the corn and the wine, Hos_2:9. 4. These coats of skin had a significancy. The beasts whose skins they were must be slain, slain before their eyes, to show them what death is, and (as it is Ecc_3:18) that they may see that they themselves were beasts, mortal and dying. It is supposed that they were slain, not for food, but for sacrifice, to typify the great sacrifice, which, in the latter end of the world, should be offered once for all. Thus the first thing that died was a sacrifice, or Christ in a figure, who is therefore said to be the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. These sacrifices were divided between God and man, in token of reconciliation: the flesh was offered to God, a whole burnt-offering; the skins were given to man for clothing, signifying that, Jesus Christ having offered himself to God a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savour, we are to clothe ourselves with his righteousness as with a garment, that the shame of our nakedness may not appear. Adam and Eve made for themselves aprons of fig-leaves, a covering too narrow for them to wrap themselves in, Isa_28:20. Such are all the rags of our own righteousness. But God made them coats of skins; large, and strong, and durable, and fit for them; such is the righteousness of Christ. Therefore put on the Lord Jesus Christ. |

Dear Emmaus, We have had discussions in the past and I had thought of you as one that understood the Scriptures, but by your statements, "But can we know before we reach the end of the race whether we are running in vain? Not with absolute certainty. Not this side of the finish line. At least that is what some of us hold.", I have been convinced by your own mouth that you have not faith in the Word of God. Even Jesus Himself. Present tense: (Joh 3:18 NASB) "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (Joh 5:24 NASB) "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (Joh 11:25, 26 NASB) Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" (Eph 2:6 NASB) and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, And Paul knew he was saved (also present tense) and exhorts us to know it also: (2Ti 4:7, 8 NASB) I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. If you still continue not to know your standing wherein you stand there also is a verse for you: (Jam 1:7, 8 NASB) For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. As Christ said, some have become so literal and have disected the Scriptures so much, that they have lost the essence of the Word. Jesus said to certain Jews, (Joh 5:39, 40 NASB) "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life." And studying to show yourself approved is good, but it continues to say, (2Ti 2:15 NASB) ..."accurately handling the word of truth." Some look more to what man has said rather than what God has said. May you come to know this Jesus, compudex |

75 | HELP ME PLEASE...I am not content! | Rom 12:1 | compudex | 101920 | ||
Dear Brother, As the other brother has indicated: This is a very hard subject to be addressed over the internet because you are going to receive advise that does not understand the pain that you are in. By your plea, you know God and you know what He thinks about this. But, brother, and I am NOT trying to push you aside, you need to get to a pastor, meet with him face to face, where he can council you and be your friend. The type written words that you will receive here will not do YOU justice because they are without knowledge of you. The internet cannot see you as a person. You need a personal friend that can openly talk with you and you with them. A person who has the kingdom of God in mind. Seek out a pastor of good reputation. He has been put in his position as a shepard. And he can be more of a friend to you than a computer screen. Even though, the Spirit of those you seek advise from on this forum will most likely be worthy. It still won't be the personal one on one help that you will need. Since you are calling out, we can see that you are truly sincere. Since you are willing to proclaim this shows a heart that wants to be right with God. If your local pastor turns you away, he is not worthy of God's callling. Seek another. This is a very deep rooted thing. Plus dear brother, I would fast and pray. For this kind of spirit does not come out without prayer and fasting. You need one on one personal contact with someone you can trust. Again, the internet is not the place. My prayer will go up to the Most High for you! Please, dear one, report your progress to us that we may rejoice with you. Peace to you! |

76 | Christian Opposition Polictian SINNED! | Rom 13:1 | compudex | 101135 | ||
Dear Pratical Bible Student: Could you clarify your question? Is it that you know someone that is in "the opposition party"? Does this mean that you are in the other opposition party? Then the term 'christian politican' is almost a contradiction in itself. But, assuming one christian was of one party and another christian was of the other party, the Scriptures come to mind that one of them is not like minded. "Of one mind": the right way! 2Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 1Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: "Definition": Politician pol·i·ti·cian (p¼l”¹-t¹sh“…n) n. 1.a. One who is actively involved in politics, especially party politics. b. One who holds or seeks a political office. 2. One who seeks personal or partisan gain, often by scheming and maneuvering: “Mothers may still want their favorite sons to grow up to be President, but . . . they do not want them to become politicians in the process” (John F. Kennedy). 3. One who is skilled or experienced in the science or administration of government. Unfortunately the very word 'politician' has a bad connotation. Normally we think of a politician in the light of definition number 2 above. "Of one mind": the wrong way! Revelation 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. So, I guess you would have to judge the intent of their heart. I am glad I do not have to be the judge! Peace! |

Hi Hank, I'm glad to see you have a good sense of humor. I loved the joke. Their platform is sometimes hard to see, as is that second body in the grave. It must take a certain breed to be a politician. I am glad I am not in that arena. What do you think of this forum? I have read some interesting answers. It is good to get different views. Surprisingly, most just seem to be at different levels of knowledge. I know I have learned some things. Some of these people have great skill with words and can explain their meaning very well. Ah, maybe they should run for office :-) Love to have you on board Hank. Peace to you! |

78 | John 3:1-7 how can you say it's not true | 1 Cor 1:17 | compudex | 111337 | ||
Dear forum, Didn't you just say that the great commission was to preach and baptize? So now, does Paul call Jesus a liar? (1Co 1:17 KJV) "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect." What do we say, "For Christ sent me not to baptize"? Did Paul know more than Christ? STOP FIGHTING AMOUNGST YOURSELVES ABOUT BAPTISM!!! The bantering back and forth does not exhort the church. If any unbeliever is looking at these posts they would think that even the So-Called-Church cannot come to an understanding. (1Co 1:14 KJV) I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Why would Paul say this? Well, look at these posts. Like a bunch of felines sitting on the backyard fence catting and meowing at each other. Brethren, be like minded, Christ NEVER condemned anyone if they believed in Him!! So why do you? Written in love, compudex |
