rev 9 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer). The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come Nor did [people] repent of their murders, their magic arts, their s.exual immorality or their thefts. much like what we're seeing now. |

matt 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. four different personality types are mentioned here. 1. sheep 2. wolves 3. serpents 4. doves characteristics of each one: 1. Sheep: very gentle, easy to direct, and generally trusting. Not necessarily known for being alert to danger. 2. Wolves: bloodthirsty, cunning, restless, implacable. Extremely selfish, or self serving, meaning a wolf always considers its own self only- no other interests can supercede its own. 3. Serpent: sly, deceptive, cunning, it will not tell an outright lie but rather a half truth, which will ultimately be more deadly than an actual untruth. Has a form of wisdom meaning it's an expert in reading thoughts and desires and in addition, will always be on the lookout for how to twist these. A destroyer. 4. Doves: reliable, steadfast, gentle, can see far distances (re: noah's ark), can be used to guage a situation due to their intuitive abilities. Harmless, meaning they are not out to destroy, or destructive. 1 Like |

wbb to discuss the issue of death being on everybody's mind these days. most cant put together two sentences without adding some sort of calamity to it. |
Re: Bible Study For Bible Students by tpia1: 1:26pm On Nov 04, 2012 |
Most of the time, the only way people know how to relate with others is by wishing some calamity on them. You hear "die, die, die" repeated multiple times, and in different forms, quite often, and in a manner reminiscent of the aluu murderers. Was this the attitude or mindset shown by Jesus? Did he come to kill, steal and destroy? There is a spirit of death bound up in creation which is manifested by the world and which typifies our descent into savagery at certain times. Jesus came with a different message, which was at loggerheads with the spirit of the times. As we were shown through the parable of the fig tree, Jesus himself possessed the power to cut life short , however, he healed the sick and gave life instead. |

Unfortunately, the internet is being used to fuel innate hatred and stimulate ancient, primordial and unthinking (basal ) enmities. I suspect this is tied to the root of the www itself- the foundation on which it was laid. |

1 John 4 vs 1 believe not every spirit if your spirit is manifesting any of the characteristics of what i just described above, then know that is not from or of God- it is the spirit of the world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. christians are supposed to know a more excellent way than those who do not know Christ. If there is no difference in your attitude regarding hatred/s, than that of a stark unbeliever, then understand you are deceiving your own self, not God. yes, there are situations where your enemies seem unrelenting and hate you for no just cause. What i am referring to is when you yourself are the one hating on others for no just cause. Manifesting the spirit of the world, and not allowing the love of God to show itself in you. 2 Likes |

Genesis 3 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” |

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: somewhere, in between God commanding adam not to eat from the tree, and eve repeating God's instructions to the wily serpent, the issue somehow arises of somebody touching the tree. God's original instructions did not say anything about touching, so eve included that in her conversation because either: 1. adam had specifically told her not to touch the tree, vis a vis a more detailed talk with God 2. she saw the serpent was already touching the fruit of the tree the second scenario brings to mind the possibility the serpent had already eaten some of the fruit before eve got there. |

3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” how did the serpent get more crafty than all the other wild animals? was it from eating the fruit of the tree, or had it been created that way? so, in essence, eve may have seen it eating from the tree, and noticed it was indeed more crafty, and with "opened eyes" [wisdom/craftiness]. This would have swayed the doubts she might have had about eating the fruit, and made her waver in her faith and also in her trust in God. So, she submitted to the devil's tempting and ate it, simply because of what she saw. 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. she [or they] "saw" the serpent had eaten the fruit and was still alive? |

2 cor 5 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight if our faith is based on what we see, then it wont be strong and will give room to doubt and open rebellion against God's word. 2 cor 4 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. |

a lot of people have been wondering if man was created immortal or not. did death enter the world after adam and eve sinned? or was man a finite being right from the getgo. |
Re: Bible Study For Bible Students by tpia1: 4:46am On Dec 05, 2012 |
genesis 2 15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. one can assume the man was brought from outside eden, and placed within the garden. God told him he would certainly die if he ate from the tree. Had adam seen death before, outside? Did he know what death was [maybe in animals], or did God have to explain it to him. if man was created immortal, then how do we explain the animals and their ecosystems, which has to do with the interactions between organisms and their environment. |

matt 2:15 " Out of Egypt have I called my son" 22 . . . Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, When Jesus was threatened, his parents had to flee with him to egypt, a land of idolatry and which was at various times, the sworn enemy of the isrealites. However, it was in egypt that Jesus was protected from the evil that stalked him in his own land and among his own people. And to remain there, among his people, would have been deadly at that point in time. During the time of Joseph, in the same way, the israelites had to migrate to egypt in order to survive. Would this not seem in direct contradiction to God's promise to Abraham regarding Isreal? When you are forced to run to the very people who ordinarily would be considered your sworn enemy, yet God is clearly directing your path right into their midst. After Jesus' parents returned from egypt, it still was not safe for them to go home. So, they setyled in nazareth instead of their hometown. This led to Jesus being referred to as a nazarne |

When is it ok to give or withhold? How do we distinguish between the two. looking at the parable of the sheep and the goats, we are enjoined to show compassion to the less priviledged: matt 25 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. compare with the parable of the ten virgins: "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. |
Re: Bible Study For Bible Students by tpia5: 11:29am On Feb 24, 2013 |
both scenarios are found in the same chapter, however one precedes the other. the first [the ten virgins] refers to wisdom: five of them were wise, therefore they got prepared for the future. The other virgins, in contrast to them, were foolish because they did not plan for what they were preparing for [the return of the bridegroom]. prov 4:7a Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom when you have wisdom, you will understand earthly treasures should not superceed heavenly ones. matt 6:19 19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. |
Re: Bible Study For Bible Students by tpia5: 11:30am On Feb 24, 2013 |
treasure is much more than money or earthly possessions alone. |
Re: Bible Study For Bible Students by tpia5: 11:33am On Feb 24, 2013 |
in between these two extremes [giving and withholding], is the story of the ten talents, or the hard hearted servant. 14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. |
Re: Bible Study For Bible Students by tpia5: 11:41am On Feb 24, 2013 |
so, we go from withholding, to giving, with an interesting story in between. what can we learn from this? To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. the master had noted the personality and character of each servant. what he did can be considered a test- if they passed, they would get greater promotion. If they failed, they would get demoted. However, the servants did not know this. the last one in particular, might have done things differently had he considered the future, or his master's character [if he'd had wisdom]. He knew the kind of master he had, but he did not fear him, thus he went ahead and made some bad choices with attendant consequences. |
Re: Bible Study For Bible Students by tpia5: 11:47am On Feb 24, 2013 |
what can we learn from this? the oil in jars, refers to the way you live your life as a christian. |
Re: Bible Study For Bible Students by dallyemmy: 4:59pm On Feb 24, 2013 |
He declares the end from the beginning Isa 46:10. Like he told the children of Isreal if they see tough things at the beginning of their journey they would not interested in their destiny! |

The Lord of Hosts josh 5 13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” God's army is often present during times of intense physical warfare in the christian's life. when you look with your physical eyes, all you see is who is for or against you. when you see through the spiritual realm, you understand its about much more than just you, but rather "the battle belongs to the Lord" joshua was ready to fight physically, but it turned out the walls came tumbling down without a single sword being drawn. The actual fighting at that particular time, had been done in the spiritual, all that was left was to praise God for the victory. covenant battles are fought by the lord. 9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” secondly, who was the angel and why was he standing at the camp [in front] with a drawn sword? he was not there to fight a physical battle, seems more like he was there protecting them from dangers they could not see. The Isrealites had just renewed their covenant with God, had gotten circumcised, and were about to enter canaan, in fulfillment of God's promise to them, or to abraham. God watches over His word, to perform it. jer 1 11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see an almond branch.” |
