As I stated, I believe it was the image of God which was breathed into Adam (Gen 2:7). The cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth of Gen 1:24-25 had ḥay nep̄eš which enlivened the body ... the same ḥay nep̄eš which enlivened the bodies of Adam and Eve. However, God also breathed...

"old man works" vs "new man grace" ... my 2¢ ... God tells us to put off concerning the former conversation the old man which is corrupt according to deceitful lusts ... and ... put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Eph 4:20-24 ... see also Col...

Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. The word "confess"...

First, I want to clarify that God only tells us what He wants us to know and, therefore, there's a reason we do not know exactly what went on back in the days of Noah. Having said that, I lean toward the understanding that the sons of God in Gen 6 refers to fallen angels and I believe satan...

The words "living soul" in Genesis 2:7 are translated from the Hebrew words ḥay [H2416] nep̄eš [H5315]. Genesis 2:7 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 [H2416] soul [H5315]. Now look at Genesis 1...

I agree you believe that. I do not believe God laughs at the trials and afflictions of the innocent, and I do not believe that was Job's intent when the statement was made. At that point in Job's suffering, Job did not know he was being attacked by satan. All Job knew was that he was unaware...

Love God first ... love to fellow mankind follows ... 1 John 4:17 - 5:2: 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment...

Job responded to Eliphaz and Bildad who both claimed that the reason Job was suffering was because of some secret sin in Job's life. Eliphaz and Bildad believed Job was being punished by God for something Job had done and for which Job needed to repent. Job asked Eliphaz Teach me, and I will...

1 Peter 1: 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was...

God did not "cause" Adam and Eve to sin. God tells us exactly what happened (Gen 3). God's will was clearly stated: Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it Nowhere in Scripture do we read that God was the "cause" of Adam and Eve eating of the...

The gifts given by the Lord Jesus Christ (i.e. apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers] have been put in place to point to the Lord Jesus Christ and to help bring the unbeliever to believer ... and the believer from new born babe to maturity. In any given gathering of believers...

nope ... you said: in response to my statement [emphasis added]: so I asked you: God is eternal ... infinite. We are finite ... we are the ones who have to "come to know". So, no, my response to you was not evasive ... I was asking you to clarify your statement. Do you believe God...

I believe the life of the coming age begins in this lifetime at the moment a person is born again. At that point, we are made new and have a transformed existence. In this lifetime, God is working within the born again one to conform him or her to the image of His Son ... and when He shall...

no God did not make a wager with satan. God made a statement of fact ... Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. satan went so far as to command God to put forth thine hand now, and touch all that...

Jews and gentiles had heard the gospel the previous week. Beginning in Acts 13:16, Paul went through the history of the Jews ... probably for the benefit of the gentiles present ... and then we read concerning the Lord Jesus Christ: Acts 13: 37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no...

why would you rip the book of Job out of your Bible? It appears to me that it was satan who was trying to prove God was wrong in His statement about Job. satan utterly failed in his attempts to prove that Job was not blameless and upright man, a man who fears God, and shuns evil as God said...

Why do you believe God had to "come to know" anything ... do you believe God did not know Adam and Eve would eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil? ... and I am in agreement with what @Genez posted here .

God made provision for mankind ... knowing Adam and Eve would eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God does not have to "prove" anything to satan and his angels. satan knows Who God is ... and satan knows he cannot conquer God ... what satan can do (and does do very effectively) is...
