SwordOfTruth, I had written you a very long reply to your long post and was down to the last couple of comments... and I hit something and my reply was gone. I'm bad about laying my hands too close to the lap top pad as I type. Oh well, you made some credible complaints about the pitiful...

Are you saying that interpretation, understanding, and comprehension can't take place when reading the Bible? Do you believe that the Holy Spirit can reveal truth to the Holy Spirit filled believers? Without these possibilities there would be no language translations, no studies to do, no...

You know me so well. LOL. God bless.

Yes all raised where ever they exist at this time and ultimately case into the Lake of Fire. At that event ALL death and ALL Hell will be no more. Yes. Those who have done well to follow Christ will experience the joys of eternal life in the kingdom of our Lord. Those who have not grasped onto...

I consider Gen 1 and 2 to be two different events with some over lapping. The over lapping is that it is the ONE and only Creator working in both chapters. That may sound like I've just killed my own theory, but wait. Well, Gen. 1 says that it was Elohiym, working as a spirit upon the waters of...

My theories about omniscience is: I truly believe he know everything. He reads our lives from beginning to end like a person might read a book. Yet along with his all-knowing ability come our gift of free will. Here is how I think that works. He knows who will accept the Messiah whether they...

Here is the way I interpret the lives God gave mankind. In the Garden man's first life was being continually sustained and it would have continued if the Fall had not happened. Man's first death was brought on by the curse upon the ground to which he associated both mankind and Satan/and the...

Lost souls, even those which are already long time suffering in hell, will be cast into the Lake of Fire. They are not in Christ who has the gift of eternal life to give to those who follow him. But without the gift of eternal life from Christ the lost will not live eternally. This is mankind's...

CONTINUED from post # 1 Benavraham wrote: Many times, we just have to take God’s word literally. “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness…and Elohim created the man and the woman in His image” (vs 26-27). What does this mean, in HIS image? What is the IMAGE of ELOHIM? The Hebrew...

Love what I have read so far. Great job explaining things. I also agree with what you have written so far... but just had to jump in with a comment of my own Regarding Gen. 1 and the beginning of Gen. 2. There is a short transition between them. Elohim stopped his work and YHWH/YHVH began his...

Hello BenAvraham, I agree The LORD was speaking about our Lord the Messiah. I see your two verses reading like this - Isa. 42:6,7: I YHWH [the LORD] have called [you Jeshuah/My promised Messiah/the WORD of God] in righteousness [sinless-ness] and I take hold of your hand and guard you, and give...

Just time to comment on this paragraph. Yes, mankind was in a great place ... and God had on asked two things: 1. Multiply and reproduce Stay away from the knowledge of good and evil. Seems that should have been simple, but free will has two sides. Obey and thrive. Disobey and suffer something...

The Strong's Concordance says regarding God in Genesis 1:1-3 says: I added a few things like spelling things out instead of using the Strong's abbreviations and my comments inside [...] 430 Elohiym - plural of the root word 433. [IOW ... a plural or sort of collective noun form...

His position is our choosing to worship him for he holds hope for us with reconciliation and the gift of eternal life where there will be no strife, sickness, and pain. I look forward to that. God did not create puppets but rather sentient individuals and then gave him the ability to choose him...

I'm not sure why you concluded this [you will bend your knee to any tyrant...} from the question I asked: "A man dares to hold God accountable for his behavior? Well, not sure I want to go down that trail ... in Ps 82 Satan did and it did not go well." As a believer I really think it is God who...

Yes. Love how you pay attention to detail ... and how you ask God for understanding. You are a seeker for sure... and I believe he will reveal truth to honest seekers. Well, a person could study the ancient word which was interpreted into English to mean "stood by him. That might be a good way...

I will simply say: You have not yet grasped the totality of what I believe about The One Spiritual God with his multiplicity of living essence/character. Nor understood how he created his ONE image to represent his being the ONE God ... but in addition had/has the ability to use that one image...

Hello SwordOfTruth. Thank you for joining this conversation. My perspective: Elohim Elohym is a collective noun. I pointed that out because I believe this about the ONE God. He is an invisible Spirit and scripture tells us HE IS LIFE. Every aspect of him is ALIVE. Whether you single out his...

Addressing- two things which were mentioned above. 1.) The three super-natural men were all addressed as LORD and lords. All three accepted worship from Abraham as he bowed to the ground and worshiped. The two, who went ahead into the city, met up with Lot at the city gate. The two lords again...
