Funny that, when I was new to the faith, I found a book at Books A Million that explained how the Bible wasn’t actually written in a “historical narrative format”. I started reading it and fell under the conviction that I needed to believe that the entire Bible is the Word of God and that it means what it states. Never turned back!

"He worketh all things after the council of His own will," then it surely is not difficult to believe that He over-rules all evil for good; in fact this must be so, for it is only on this ground, viz., that all evil tends to good in the end, that we can harmonize the existence of evil at all with the existence of The Most High.

I very much enjoyed this frank and honest discussion. I do not believe in forcing Scripture to my understanding. Rather studying Scripture until my heart and mind are at peace with the text. I do read, write and speak Hebrew yet Greek is Greek to me. But with all the scholastic tools available it is very easy to delve into the depths of all Scripture, as one ought do. Not to mention the Holy Spirit is always there to willingly teach the quizzical. Thank you gentlemen.

[@phillo1818]

By what right do you claim “all Christians...” say or do so and so? The privilege of every Christian is to delve into the Word of GOD Almighty and to study it well. One part of why we learn to understand the Word is to pray it back to the Father and when the Hoy Spirit teaches us His leading Must line up with Scripture. If not then we know there is something wrong either with our own theology or perhaps a selfish desire or whatever. What we do absolutely know and understand is that the Holy Spirit and the Holy Word of GOD is without error. Christians and nonbelievers are NOT perfect. The difference is that Christians are through the Sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross, Who rose by the power of the Father on the third day have accepted that by faith and/or by a supernatural experience accepted Him as our personal Saviour. A nonbeliever in Jesus Christ cannot understand these things easily, it’s like looking into a room whose windows are heavily tinted. If you are sincerely seeking an answer and willing to pay the cost, then directly challenge GOD the Father of mankind to show you His Truth. If you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour I can guarantee your life will become supernaturally significant. The Bible is the most significant supernatural book the world has known. If your up for the challenge read the Book of John. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes and your heart and read it until you suddenly have that aha moment.

@@velkyn1 Simple... you can't always tell when a human is lying and we all have done it. There are those who think they are receiving guidance from the Spirit and those who are only hearing their own heart (and surely a mix of both.) The heart is desperately deceptive and Yahweh wants us to relinquish control of it... He is after our hearts. The way one knows if they are receiving guidance (or the lack of guidance) from the Spirit of Yahweh is to study the words of and about the Master Yahushua. He clearly states that if you take His yoke upon you and LEARN OF HIM, you will see that His burden is not heavy, and it will bring peace to your soul. After which He says He WILL send the Spirit of Yahweh to you and you WILL be reminded of His words. I have experience this. It's not so much that one "hears a voice". It's more like a reminding of information and instructions that pop into your head when an issue of life arises. But, one must learn of Him if that is to happen. The more we relinquish the selfish desires of our own heart, we can know better how to navigate life. As for Genesis... nobody can claim that they know 100% for sure what every verse means. If they do, their own texts say they are a liar.

The same executive officers of corporations that are labeled "churches" that claim to believe every word of God is literal and can only be considered metaphorical when the context establishes it, will do the exact opposite when teaching on "tithes and offerings," as if the tithes and offerings could possibly be money that should end up in their accounts to fill their budgetary wants.

Well said. The clergy sets itself up as the gatekeepers of the word of God. "Day means 24-hours here and not there." Controlling the masses is an ugly job but some find it necessary. I'm glad that the New Testament eliminates the need for the gatekeeping controllers. "And they shall not teach every man his neighbor and every man his brother saying, 'Know the LORD', for all shall know me - from the least to the greatest."

Bravo such an amazing talk

[@samuelcaufman4738]

My understanding is that "IF" Genesis was from Elohim then there should be a reflection of what is said throughout scripture, which there is, the example being Cain and Abel, while most christian pastors nearly always focus on that being the first murder there is actually a more interesting side to the story that is almost always ignored through lack of knowledge, and that being the particular feast that was being observed, and when considered it seems to be a reflection of the Passover, which Moses later observed and finally the Lord fulfilled, though in all honesty it is not provable, due to a lack of information, yet it was a blood sacrifice being observed and the Passover required a Blood sacrifice, and Abel offered up what was required, while Cain offered up what is referred to as "First Fruits" and strangely enough on the third day of the observance of Passover a sacrifice of "First Fruits" is also required , which would seem to indicate that Cain thought it acceptable since it was also something needed, but Elohim rejected it - HE being the one teaching directly

[@leroybrown9143]

God rejected Cain because Cain was carnal, a man of the flesh. Abel understood he wasn't justified by his sacrifice. By contrast, nothing Cain did was acceptable to God because Cain was godless in his heart. Cain believed his sacrifice was excellent because he toiled to get it out of the ground. Rather than seeking the goodness that only comes from God He believed that his works made him good independent of God. Had Cain known God, he would have searched his heart to determine why God was correcting him and would have repented of the evil in his heart, instead he despised God's correction and murdered his brother, demonstrating the works he insisted were good were evil. That's the message to us today. Judge yourself, 'good' works from a dark heart are evil and may justify before man, but not before holy God. Repent, don't despise God's correction, don't seek your own goodness, you're not good, put on the true goodness of Christ.

[@donphillips5957]

Wow talk about reading into the text. The reason more isn't there is because more isn't needed. Cain brought what was right in his own eyes, not what God required. Was there more going on? Doubtless. Abel was probably a jerk, giving Cain a hard time about the whole thing. That's my take on the account. But even taking your perspective, would G_d accept a grain offering instead of the Pascal lamb? Or on the Day of Atonement? Wave and grain offerings have their place. Clearly not here.

I have a question , “in the beginning” in Genesis is accepted by many as the true beginning, God being timeless has no beginning, so was genesis creation the beginning of mankind only? Gen 1:28 says God blessed mankind and sent them out to “replenish the earth”. Supposition here is that man has existed before, wiped out (not out of Gods character) and started over. Archeological finds suggest humans on earth dating far before the chronological retracing of generations back to Adam and Eve. Would like your view

[@leroybrown9143]

'Replinish' in early English means, 'supply abundantly' and is better translated in modern English as 'fill greatly.' it's usually a bad idea to develop a whole doctrine from a single verse, or worse a single word. Jesus tells us, 'in the BEGINNING there was one man and one woman.' Gen 1:1 tells us 'in the BEGINNING God created' John tells us 'in the BEGINNING was the Word. Sounds like God is saying genesis is the beginning of our reality.

[@richardfenner3673]

@@leroybrown9143 thank you for your comment, not building any doctrine other than the pure inerrant Word of God. Having said that, it’s difficult to justify the inerrant Word by saying “ it really does not mean that, but this”. I have no concept of Gods beginning because there wasn’t one. God always was and always will be. How long did God exist before Genesis? The answer is infinite time. Interesting your final statement, “ the beginning of our reality”. This I believe wholeheartedly. Another thing about the Living Word that I love is that it can speak to anyone who has no theological qualifications but just possesses a desire for Gods voice. I agree that we are influenced by our own experiences, language and knowledge base. I also agree some historical knowledge of the time when parts were written do influence some understandings. The statement of “In the beginning “ can carry many values, like when I began to write this. We understand Jesus to be with God from the beginning of anything which has no time reference. In fact in the genesis account God created time for our reality to give us reference points. Time is interesting, in that, you can have too much of it and to little of it at the same time. Other realities? Who can say? There certainly has been enough time for such things. I don’t have a need to know things that are not relevant to my calling or my current duties set forth by God. All truth will be revealed in its own time, but you got to love a mystery! It can provide hunger to know more. I discovered the more I learn the less I know, how amazing is that? Jesus is my love, my rock and my salvation, my life belongs to Him. Blessings

It had formed in to a diamond shape, with Noah at the top and Prince William at the bottom with the widest point in the time just prior to William the Conqueror who tied it all back together again so it could grow no wider but narrow back down to a single heir and we are there with William under Diana, 2 halves merging. Now, not only did it prove creationism, but it literally cross referenced itself and the fault with the geni ancestry site came when merging those that inbred and those that had multiple partners, and at the beginning with Noah there was no choice but to inbreed even several generations later.

The first act was to create light and separate light from dark, so night and day have existed since the beginning, and whether it's God saying it, or us writing like human observers to explain evening and morning, that doesn't really matter so much. What matters is that time was passing from night to day, night to day, night to day. A camera in antarctica, madagascar, siberia, and the caribeean: all of these if you stuck a camera there will observe daylight and nighttime. Where you're observing from doesn't change that night and day are passing: I think the most important takeaway is that 24 hours are passing.

Jesus ended the daily sacrifice and the seventh day sabbath, so anyone practicing it today is a Pharisee or a Saducee. Jesus says seek the Spirit with all your heart, mind and soul, in other words every second of every waking hour you should be seeking the Spirit and no man comes to the Father except through Jesus, truth comes from the Mind of God, seekers of truth. Seek and ye shall find, Jesus chooses who is saved and can even fill a sinner with the Spirit if he so chooses. Men have been filled with the Spirit throughout time since the time of Jesus such as Caibre Riada and Lancelot du Lac with witnesses each time as well as myself with both Christian and pagan turned Christians after witnessing, witnesses. I have been filled with the Spirit alongside 2 men in Christ, we met and praised Jesus, then experienced Fear of God and all 3 ducked for fear of just the radiance of God shining through space and his awesome power that could crush us if not ready for it. We then praised God 3 times each after he said he would not give more energy than each of us could handle and I approached the Temple in an out of body way. Behind a dark matter/energy cloud.

Christ showed us how to keep his Sabbath's the Jews persecuted him for showing them the CORRECT way, Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the COMMANDMENTS OF GOD and the FAITH OF JESUS. So who changed the day of worship? Was it Christ? God forbid Romans 3:20,31.. Do we then make VOID the LAW through FAITH? GOD FORBID: yea, we establish the LAW. 6:15,16 Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to OBEY, his servants ye are to whom ye OBEY; whether of SIN unto DEATH, or of OBEDIENCE unto RIGHTEOUSNESS. History shows us in the year 321 A.D emperor Constantine enforced Sunday worship in order to bring Christians and pagans togheter under Him* (Constantine). Before that event early day Christians during Christ time and all the way up to the year 321 A.D kept the Sabbath, that my friends is a FACT. NO arguing there....let's brake from tradition and get back to biblical TRUTH!!🙏

[@leroybrown9143]

The Sabbath wasn't changed. Like the feast days, The Sabbath day was given to the jews to keep by command. The church, free from the law by the power of christ, keeps the Day of the Lord, not by command or ritual, but by tradition, a day of prayer and fellowship in remembrance of His death and resurrection.

@@b14ksy17 Where does it say that in the Bible?And if so doesn't that mean the Bible is okay with incest ?

[@stefan2222x]

interman 77 at the start, incest was not a problem nor a bad thing. You can imagine that Adam and Eve had very good genes. So therefore it is not dangerous to have kids with your siblings because both got very good genes and this prevents the kids being born with just one arm, etc. This is my explanation.

[@interman7715]

@@stefan2222x Incest is never a good thing ! As for inbreeding you will usually start to see birth defects after the third generation regardless of the original "strong genes " . I think when you start to take the Bible literally the problems arise .

[@KM-leons]

Most people assume that Adam and Eve had only two sons. No, there were many children to them. Seth was “begotten when Adam was 130 years old.” After that, Adam “begot sons and daughters” [Genesis 5:3-4]. Obviously Cain married one of his sisters. Was it wrong ? No, because God allowed it and God's law was the prevailing law of the land then. It's wrong when we judge them with the customs and laws of the modern world. Until recently, in some parts of the the western world, it was not wrong to marry a first cousin. It's still an acceptable practice among Muslims and Hindus in many parts of Asia. Later, God forbid marrying a close relative in the laws given to Moses.

The six "days" of creation were not literal 24 periods. In reality, God used six long periods of time, using the laws of physics He created, to form the universe as we see it. today. God is not a God of confusion. Both science and the bible agree.

[@leroybrown9143]

God is not a God of confusion, but you're definitely confused about the Bible. God created heaven and earth in six standard days, just like the text says. In revelation he will perform a yet greater miracle by recreating heaven and earth, will you say these too will unfold over billions of years in order to reconcile scripture to the opinions of atheist? Don't give what is holy to dogs, Matt 7:6. Is. 65:17, Is. 66:22, Rev 21:1

[@josemelendez1321]

Can you explain???

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

The Book of Hebrew TELLS us that the 6-days are an allegory. It tells us that the Sabbath Day is an age (greater than 24-hours) and that God's rest is provided to His creation in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus says, in the Gospel of John, "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." (See John 5). Jesus worked on the Sabbath Day not because He didn't believe Genesis but because He understood that the true work of God was still in operation. On the cross, therefore, we hear Jesus utter these words, "It is finished." What is finished? What did Jesus say he came to do? Jn. 4:23 - Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. In other words, the 6-days were still in process - they hadn't finished yet. The New Testament tells us that in a number of different ways. John's gospel is full of these references and the Book of Hebrews explains it MASTERFULLY. Jesus was allowed to work on the Sabbath Day (the seventh day of the calendar week) because He is THE Lord of the Sabbath (i.e. He came to FINISH the work of God). So, you see, we don't have to get hung up on "does it mean 24-hour days or is it an allegory" because BOTH are true. Creation took 6-days and then Jesus died and was raised from the dead. Now the Seventh Day can begin. And if you get hung up on any more or any less than that, you're going beyond what was written.

[@seanregehr4921]

If you have not seen all the poetry throughout the bible then you have not adequately read and comprehended what you read. All knowledge is contained within these texts. God never actually created law, He gave commands. Details matter when you care to understand what is being said. Just like how the cross was actually a cross beam for a door nailed to a tree. When people overlook the obvious facts so blatantly, one must consider what they are reading and with what mindset. One thing that you never did this whole time was prove creation was 6 days literal as in 24 hours each. Who recorded creation when things were not as yet created? If man and woman are created on the sixth day, than who can verify the length of creation of the first five days? Most people argue things they cannot prove and reprove, which is Truth and facts.

[@pocadon]

They have already been over that in another video. It's 6 literal days because the days are numbered and the words morning and evening accompanied the number. If you go through the entire Old Testament a day is literally 24hrs when it has a number or it says evening or morning. Genesis has both so you can't argue against it unless you do mental gymnastics. If I say "back in the day" you know I don't mean 1 24hr day but if I say I worked today from morning to night you know I'm speaking of 1 regular day. It's the same as the days of creation.

[@georgebond7777]

We still use "the 4 corners of the earth" today, does that mean we believe its flat? Btw the President of the flat earth society is an evolutionist. 🤣😁😄 Hindus and Buddhists believed the Earth was flat and if you sailed too far youd fall of the edge of the earth. It was carried on the back of a Turtle, an Elephant or a giant Cat Fish. The Bible however describes the earth as a circle/sphere hanging on "nothing", where did those goat herders get the concept of nothing?
