the number 10 in revelation could also simply be a number that represents the world powers as a whole... you are looking for 10 specific nations but the reality could simply be that the number 10 is representative of the entire worlds political system. and if you think of that in terms of the...

It depends what is meant by 'oneness of mind and purpose' To me, that is 'unity' and in the sense of being united in mind and purpose, then yes, Jesus and God were united right up to Jesus death and through his resurrection and even right now...Jesus is Gods greatest spokesperson and for that...

im not trying to do anything of the sort. Im reading Genesis 5 which states "4 And the days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters. 5 So all the days of Adam that he lived amounted to nine hundred and thirty years and he...

its not in chronological order. Look at Genesis chpter 2... Adam is created before the animals, yet in Gen chpt 1, Adam is created last. In Gen chpt 4:25 "And Adam proceeded to have intercourse again with his wife and so she gave birth to a son and called his name Seth, because, as she said...

Nephilim does not mean 'fallen one' its a plural word for a start... the 'im in hebrew is plural it literally means to 'cause something to fall down' ... 'fellers' is the literal rendering of the hebrew word - like tree fellers who go around cutting down trees in a forest. The...

after what? After what happened in Vs 1-3 where God expresses his displeasure at the angles who took wives for themselves. And after that, they 'CONTINUED' to have children to them. You are actually taking the 4th verse out of context by ignoring the first 3. Thats exactly right... its the...

well here is a little tidbit for you... the building of the city of babylon/babel was conducted AFTER the flood as per the bible says: Genesis 10:8 And Cush became father to Nim′rod. He made the start in becoming a mighty one in the earth. ...10 And the beginning of his kingdom came to be...

the preceeding verses Genesis 6:1-3 tell of “the sons of the true God taking wives for themselves" so God pronounces his decision to only allow men a 120 year lifespan...it then says in Gen 6:4 "The Neph′i‧lim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that" So really, the...

masturbation isnt specifically mentioned in the scriptures, but there are some 'principles' that help us to see that it is wrong. Colossians 3:5 it will be very hard to kill an immoral desire if you keep stimulating it. masturbation is a very selfish thing, it breeds a completely self...

not if we are to worship in 'truth' as Jesus said we should John 4:23 "true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him" Christmas is false, its not based on truth, its based on the lie that jesus was born on...

Ephesians 6:14 Stand firm, therefore, with YOUR loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and with YOUR feet shod with the equipment of the good news of peace. 16 Above all things, take up the large shield of faith, with which YOU will be able to quench...

if you believe it was worldwide, you would believe that everyone who was not inside the ark, perished as the bible says. But you seem to think the nephilim survived which indicates that you may not have thought it through. but that doesnt mean its evidence that God created each individual...

Dont fight back. Thats the basic idea Jesus was getting at. If someone wants to start an argument with you, dont fight back in a war of words. If someone hits you for some reason, dont hit back, dont seek revenge.

Imagine if someone went to the police and filed a charge of assault against you. You dont even know the charge has been filed. How would you feel if the court decided in favor of the plaintiff without even hearing your side of the argument? Imagine if the police arrived and sent you to jail...

i think we all fall into that trap from time to time, especially when things are not going so well for us. But if we keep reminding ourselves that these trials are not because God is angry with us or because we have displeased him, we will be more inclined to keep trying to remain close to him.

So basically, you dont believe in the bibles account of the flood of Noahs day. Even science has confirmed that all mankind are of the same stock... the genes of the different races are the same. We are all one family. It seems you are more influenced by evolutionary science then you think...

Hi Wayne, Job was written by Moses as a remembrance of Job and as an answer to two important questions: Why do the innocent suffer? And Why does God permit wickedness in the earth? The ancient Hebrew nation regarded Job as a real person. The Christian writer James points to Job’s example of...

God doesnt test us. The bible is very clear on that. James 1:13 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...

mercy is mercy whether God shows it or we show it. Just as kindness is kindness whether God shows it or we show it. Gods mercy isnt going to be shown to many people...even some who 'think' they are following his son.

i really hope you dont take that to mean that there was a whole different species of human called Rephaim...please tell that that isnt so. The Rephaim were the descendents of a man named Raphah...he is mentioned by moses among the many tribes that lived in the area at the time of them traveling...
