God never lied to anyone. He has no business with Pharaoh if not for the sake of His people nothing will bring JEHOVAH to have any dealings with Satan's worshipers.
You can't expect Him to divulge all things to that pagan nah! So JEHOVAH dealt with Pharaoh the same way you will deal with a total stranger!



Job has proved the highlighted to be untrue!

While God and Satan were bargaining over whose side Job will take, the imperfect man Job wasn't informed neither forewarned about what Satan will do to him yet Job remain faithful to God under the most challenging circumstances!
So Adam whose condition was even far better than that of Job knew what he was doing. Remember it was Eve that came to tell Adam to disobey God whereas both of them knew the consequences of disobedience {Genesis 3:2-3} but Job on the other hand is already suffering when his wife (just as Eve advice Adam) told her husband to turn against God! Job 2:9
Job's wife spoke from a logical point of view, if Job should curse God he will die and go to rest but Job said "NO!" So what stops Adam a man whose body Satan has no right to touch from remaining steadfast unlike Job (a sinner) that Satan has every right to torment?

DappaD:
Do you think Adam wouldn’t know the consequence of his disobedience after God told him clearly that if he ate of the tree, he would die? Genesis 2:17
If Adam didn’t know the consequences of disobedience, why is blame heaped on his head that he brought sin and death into the world? Romans 5:12



Adam was never created immortal. As at that point in time, only God was/is immortal(Habakkuk 1:12)so none of the angels are immortal even though they do not wear out and die like humans that’s why Satan and his demons are subject to destruction. Matthew 25:46, Romans 16:20
There’s a big difference between immortality(deathlessness/indestructibility) and living forever as a perfect creature. Adam had the prospect of living forever had it been he kept taking in instruction from God but he was never immortal that’s why he could return to nonexistence. Genesis 3:19



It can only be a lie if God didn’t have the power to liberate Israel without going through all that rigorous process. Even God said the reason why he kept Pharaoh alive was so he could show his power before the eyes of the nations(Exodus 9:16) so God did not need to bargain with Pharaoh, the reason for all that was to see whether he would oblige but he only continued to harden his heart(Psalm 105:25) so if God chose to eliminate him in an instant nothing stops him(Job 34:14,15) but he chose to go through diplomatic process first by tolerating Pharaoh. Romans 9:22

madegreatbygrace:
@Myer :Beloved, the Bible must be read in light of redemption. Thus, the central message or the theme of the Bible is God’s plan of redemption for mankind. With this mindset, the Bible becomes clearer to you. This is why you’re reading the book of Genesis literarily instead of figuratively.
To start with, and in a literal sense, a tree can never give life. It’s clear that that tree is a person. That tree of life is Christ Jesus! John explains this:

“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

And again:

“And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭5:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So life is in the son and not a tree. A tree can never defile a man. Jesus confirms this.


“Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So what was responsible for their death?

Unbelief!

They refused to believe the gospel preached to them. A man is justified by faith in the finished work of Christ . Anything outside this is religion or works. This is what the tree of the knowledge of good and evil stands for.

truespeak:
Tree of Life does exactly that, give and replenish life exactly as food is to us!

Hence they were not prohibited from eating it!

DappaD:
Adam had always been able to distinguish good from bad. The tree was simply there as a sign of authority over Adam i.e. God was to be the only person to set standards for mankind.



Well, Adam and Eve actually died that day from God’s standpoint because they didn’t last up to a millennia—which is a day in God’s eyes(Psalm 90:4, 2Peter 3:8.)
From a human standpoint, look at it this way, if you cut off a branch from its source of life(tree), does it instantly disappear or continually wither until it completely fades away into nonexistence? That’s what happened with Adam and Eve. They became alienated from God the day they decided eat of the tree and so they continually to wither away until they returned back to the dust of the earth as God had said would happen. Genesis 3:19

As for Pharaoh’s case, God didn’t need ask him to do anything. The purpose for extending the plagues was so the news could spread throughout the region that the true God was backing Israel. Joshua 2:8-11

In the case of Ahab, he himself wanted to be deceived that’s why he called in several false prophets who began to tell him what he wanted to hear but Micaiah the only true prophet amongst them even gave him expo about what was truly going on yet he decided to believe the lie he was told by the false prophets and he paid dearly with life. 1Kings 22:37




Contrary to what you said, Jesus didn’t say observing the Law meant one was self-righteous. Those Pharisees were only cherrypicking from the Law of Moses & merging it with their man-made tradition and then using that to establish their own form of righteousness which was contrary to what God had instituted(Matthew 15:3-9) so rather than seek the righteousness of God, they sought to establish theirs. Romans 10:1-3

Besides, no man can fully be called “righteous” on his own merit because those whom God called “righteous” simply put faith in God irrespective of works(Romans 4:3) but that doesn’t mean works aren’t necessary. It is as important as the breath of life is to the human body, so to keep one’s faith alive, it needs to be accompanied by works(James 2:26) otherwise how else would we know the difference between those doing God’s will and those disguising as Satan’s agents? James 2:19




How did Abraham lie exactly when Sarah was truly his half sister? Genesis 20:12
Also, didn’t God censure David for the gruesome action that he took on his own initiative?(2Samuel 11:7-15) and didn’t David prove to be repentant? 2Samuel 11:3
So what’s the fuss about?



You know what’s funny? How you claim to have been “rummaging” the Bible and yet you still try to see the Bible through the lens of unscriptural ideas such as this omniscient and omnipresent hogwash.

Let me ask you this, you train up your son in the best possible way you can—provide him education, opportunities to excel in life, a starting point(perhaps a land or existing business)—and your son went ahead to abandon all those goodies to become an armed robber. Please are you the one at fault for how your son turned out even though you well know your son has the willpower to decide what he wants?

Similarly, Adam&Eve had the willpower to choose whether they would remain loyal to God or not and God provides them with several goodies—a home, a spouse, satisfying work, prospect of living forever—so how people manage to turn this on its head claiming that God is at fault for their actions baffles me at times because Adam and Eve were living in perfect conditions before they turned their back on God. Genesis 3:1-5

Concerning Samson, since it wasn’t stated explicitly why God didn’t intervene, we cannot know for sure but study of Job’s account helps us see that Samson’s own suffering was not caused by God and that Samson could at that point when he was blind and weak, be like Job who despite facing trials kept his integrity which will then prove Satan’s claim against humans to be a lie. Job 2:4,5; Proverbs 27:11

John the Baptist had an assignment to do and that was to prepare the way for the Messiah. Luke 3:3-6
He wasn’t sent to meddle into matters that didn’t concern him(1Thessalonians 4:11) however he is still amongst the long line of prophets who will be resurrected back to life on earth when the time is due. Isaiah 26:19, Acts 24:15



The truth is that God’s standards do not change or alter. Malachi 3:6, James 1:17
When talking about the Law, Jesus said he came to lighten our burden for us(Matthew 11:28-30) and then proposed that the entire Law of Moses was hinged on two important Laws—the love of God and love of neighbour. Mark 12:30
Jesus’ followers are still guided by the “law of the Christ”(Galatians 6:2) but this is not a long written list containing many laws but the same principles that guided the documentation of the Mosaic Law which Jesus taught his followers especially on the Sermon on the Mount and other instances. Matthew 5-7, John 13:35



This is where you completely missed the point. Righteousness simply means adhering to God’s own standard of right and wrong. Romans 1:17
Human beings have tried setting their own standards for more than 6 millennia now but what has been the outcome? Ecclesiastes 8:9
Does it not rather prove that humans need a higher Being, God to be the one to set the standards of good and bad since it is not in human nature to that without consequences? Jeremiah 10:23
It only takes one who is humble to accept God’s standards anyway so even if most people agree or not, mankind on its own without God’s guidance is just one blind man leading another blind man to their own misery. Matthew 15:14

CharisEleos:
This happened AFTER they had disobeyed God. Before then, God planned for them to live forever.

Read to understand not to attack.

CharisEleos:


You need the Holy Spirit more.

[b]1 Corinthians 15:21-22 For since by one man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

CharisEleos:
Try to read and understand the Bible very well before making conclusions.

God never liked about their death because the death he meant was not instant death as mankind was not supposed to see death according to creation plan but death came unto mankind as a result of their disobedience which was why Adam and Eve grew old and died. Even the generations that followed up till now.

Another death is spiritual death which is separation from God. which happened the moment God discovered they disobeyed. Same still applies today. When someone is not born-again, they are dead spiritually ie separated from God.

Tell to Holy Spirit to guide you whenever you're studying the word of God.

Goa is never a liar! He can only bend his words sometimes to suit his purpose and no one can question him.

Go and read the book of job. You can't question God's doing. That is why He is God. THE I AM TAHT I AM.

helinues:
The land that Abraham claimed God promised him is what is currently causing crisis in Gaza area.

Israelites are known to be migrants, that means they migrated to the current place they called their country now Isreal.

According to Bible, Isrealites were ruled by a pagan worshippers king, they had contrary belief and migrated from their original place of birth to seek for greener pastures..

The land was land grabbed all in the name of crusade and forceful conversion of people to their belief. They perpetrated so many evil during the time before the uprising of the people they are oppressing hence the birth of the caliphate..

Same way they forced their religion on Africa with cruelty.

Israel is the oppressor, land grabber and trouble makers.

Wrong! He did not become wise!

He only knew God knew to be Good and what God knew to be evil

Righteousness2:
Don't be Suprised that Pastor Dare saw them Praying but due to the sweetness and Ambeiance of Heaven, He refused to come back.

I know of a Brother, who died in the Hospital. He died in the Lord. He was taken to Heaven .
Meanwhile Brethren came and were praying and praying and Praying. His wife also was crying!

The Lord Showed the Brother what was happening on Earth! He saw the Brethren praying on his body. He began to tell the Lord, No Lord! No Lord! I am not going back! Pls Lord! I don't want to go back! The Brethren continued praying and praying! HE was told He has to go back! HE kept on saying, No Lord! I don't want the Earth anymore.
He was finally told to go back. He saw himself heading back to his body in the hospital. He opened his eyes and the Brethren were screaming for Joy! The Brother was so angry and infuriated with them. He told them How he was sent back because of their prayers.

Don't be Suprised Pastor Dare saw Heaven and Refused to come back Here!

The Death of a Child of GOD is Glorious!
It is Majestical! It is indescribable!

Don't trade JESUS Christ for Anything!!

Amotolongbo:
And you think the 14year old girl wasn’t so foolish to have allowed that from Baba Ijesha, even if it was a set up.

Everybody dwells on the fact that she is a minor. Being a minor hasn’t given her the reason to have submitted herself and played along with a godforsaken paedophile. My parents taught us to be hostile to any masculine (old or young) advances before stepping into adolescence.
A minor today becomes a major tomorrow, a minor you failed to rebuke today cos the violator is an adult will never realized the magnitude of her foolishness.

Crucify the paedophile and never spare the minor who didn’t resist the pervacious intention, along with the adult who staged the minor for evidence

If I’m the real mother of the 14year old girl, I will be very disappointed in her

BuharFulani:
Is anybody judging her?

People and their insecurities. She suddenly swapped her career from secular music to gospel music and you expect people not to comment on it?

Imagine if buhari declares today that he's no longer a Muslim, do you expect people not to say anything?

It's not judging her. It's people expressing their opinion and views which is legal by the way.

Princewell2012:
Happy Sunday brethren.
Let me go straight to the point.

If I have three wives when am still in the world and the 3 of them are legally and fully married.
All of them have children 6,4, and 2 children respectfully.

And today am now a born again.
And the word of God only permit only wife.
.so in this case what do I do.

1 should I sent two of them away and stick with only one.
2 should I sent the three of them away.

3. or should I keep the three of them?
what should one do in this condition?
Somebody asked me this question and I don't know what to reply him.

Please who can give us a reasonable answer biblically?


I will be very happy if it can be pushed to the front page. God bless you all.

Have You ever been in a relationship with someone whose status is above yours financially, socially or in terms of age(age especially for the males).
How did it go?
Did you later get married?
Kindly share experiences.
