“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
King James Version (KJV)

We had each other in mind at the same time brother Jesse!
Jesse's comment on 2021-03-23 09:36:33:
Well Carleton, thank you. You are much too kind and humble. I think we can all learn from you. We are all an encouragement to each other in one way or another. You have a blessed day in Christ my brother
Carleton's comment on 2021-03-23 07:32:04:
Good morning Jesse, I think your encouragements keep us going.
God Bless your work in the Lord!
Jesse's comment on 2021-03-22 21:45:34:
Jim,
In Mark 12:17, Jesus said render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
They were trying to trap Jesus about paying taxes. Jesus asked who's image was on the coin. They said Caesar's.
So what was Jesus saying?
In Genesis 1:26, it says that God made man in His image. Do you see where this is going? Jesus is telling them if that is Caesar's money and he wants it, give it to him. It is worldly. It is part of his system, so give it to him.
But you are made in the image of God. Give Caesar his money, and give God what is due to Him.
I hope this helps!

Carleton,
Thank you for sharing that. That's a great example of one unable to be shaken of the faith God gave them!

....The chief reason why we were were tortured , was , that we should tell how many teachers there were, what their names were, where they lived, where in the city I had taught, how many I had baptized, where the ministry was imposed upon me, and what teachers were present upon that occasion; and I should acknowledge the magistrates as Christians, and infant baptism as right. Then I pressed my lips together, committed it to God, and suffered patiently, remembering the words of the Lord, where He says: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you." John 15:13-14....

Hi, I had a dream once that Satan inside of a known acquaintance who shared the same two close friends of mine as friends of his. Only I was a Christian. Anyway we were in a laundry mat and I was telling the friends about the Lord when this man put his thumb to my forehead and I instantly fell to the ground. I cried out to Jesus and the dream ended. I think people can somehow harness power that is not of the Lord for their own temporary gain. From my Christian experience I can say the Holy Spirit is gentle.

Sophia,
God is eternal. That means that God has always existed and never had a beginning. That's hard for us to imagine.
There are a very FEW things that we can know about God by just doing logical thinking. The Greek thinker, Aristotle, was able to reason that everything that begins to move needs a mover to get it started moving, so there MUST be an UNMOVED MOVER: GOD.
There are MANY other things that we could never know about God unless God Himself revealed those things to us. Did you ever have a friend that told you a secret about something they thought or something they did? Well, because The Bible was breathed out by God through people that He chose to speak to, when we read The Bible, we can discover things about God that He wants us to know.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"Rom 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."Rom 6:23
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."Rom 5:8
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."Joh 5:24
"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."Rom 10:9-10
This is all possible because God's eternal Son left heaven to be born baby Jesus by Mary, His mother, grow up and die on the cross and rise from the dead to save those who will believe.

how was god born
Calvin's comment on 2021-02-28 11:03:25:
If you read the Bible as a history book you will find out that the tree of Life is still on the Earth.Facts show that the tree of Life is in EDOM and that people have tried to touch the snow that surounds the Eastern Gate where the tree of life is .Think the Bible has been writen for Quite a ferw times and that the Book of enouch has the meaning of the Bible up to When Jesus was born then the Book of Enouch has refrances to the end of time like Revlations has .How maney pastors have removed books from the bible and never let them be tought to any human Being?.

Hi R. P Mai, I made a mistake in my typing, I meant to say I don't think you will find where God created any nations on the 6th day, but you will find where he created man on the 6th day in Genesis 1:26-31
Chris's comment on 2021-01-01 20:33:12:
Just to add to Steven's suggestion: the Site, 'Answers in Genesis' is also quite informative & even has a section for children dealing with this creation/evolution conundrum that they might be facing. With children, they generally readily accept teaching given to them & possibly asking questions later. However, if you're dealing with adults, then any argument 'for or against' will come down to its common denominator: if everything created by definition requires a creator, then who created God? Conversely, those who are proponents of the 'Big Bang' that brought into being the worlds & eventually living creatures/species, have to also support how any chemical, seismic, physical activity can occur without there already substance to cause that to happen - hence, the need for a creator of that 'substance'.
Man can only look at the evidence before him & use his knowledge (& imagination) working backwards to support his belief of an evolutionary process for the animate & inanimate worlds. Believers in God's Word begin from the first declaration (by God), & then work forwards finding that what we see & know now, fully supports Who God is & what He has done. But if the discussion is purely on the evolution of man from primate to homo sapien, then you will need to go deeper into the biological & spiritual dimensions as well as the possibility/impossibility of creating something of a different species from an established one. That would require much more scientific investigation.

HI R.P. Mai. No I don't think you will find where God created any nations on the 6th day, but in Genesis 1:26-31.

HI Amber, Chuck Missler does a good job on that topic, "creation vs evolution".
amber's comment on 2021-01-01 12:43:55:
hi i was wondering how do i teach people evolution is fake.
R.P.Mai's comment on 2020-12-30 17:30:45:
Is it mention any where in the Bible how many nation's God created on the sixth day.

the bible says 'unto us is given the mystery of the kingdom ' ...when he the spirit shall come, he shall lead us to all truth.the devil understands prayer,fasting and other spiritual exercise,but he doesnt understand mystery.prayer without mystery is leg without shoes! Rev 22v2 is a mystery to extinct and calculate that serpent out who cursed man to sin thereby bringing about sickness,curses and separation from his maker.its a particular tree called 'the tree of life ' that is friutful every mth,every thing abt this tree gives life.the leaves of this tree wil restore man both physically i.e healthwise and spiritualy.that tree is the palm tree.no wonder palms were used to ursher him into jerusalem,the city of palm trees.there are also palms in heaven.his kingdom is not serving him in sickness,then u die and go to heaven with that sickness but it means joy,peace,health,and flow in the holy ghost.to enjoy his kingdom,u must be in total health.send an email to me if u want to know more on the usage of this tree
