Thanks for your input, as I do value your knowledge of the Greek language. I do see in Matthew 1:1 the word GENESEOS, and then in Verse 18 is the word GENESIS. My understanding is that although they are not the exact same word in spelling, these two words are associated with each other, GENESEOS being the lexical form of the word GENESIS.
The point I was trying to emphasize was that Matthew was calling it an origin, not a birth, because Jesus was not born but became flesh. He has always been in existence.
Thank you, I also consider Jesse a brother in Christ. I hope he will not be offended from what I replied to him. It is my understanding not against him. We are all on a journey and the Holy Spirit is our guide. This subject many will not discuss and I am grateful Jesse and others on this site is open to discuss it.
Thank you for that Brother . I agree with you . I do sometimes read things on here that I don't agree with but I have a big problem .
I'm not confident that I can disagree with someone without offending them and I love Brother Jesse as my Brother in Christ .
So , because I don't believe that I'm good enough at expressing myself without offending , I say nothing . You just said it perfectly for me , so , I shall say again thank you . Now I shall be quiet because I have no wish to offend , you manage to say things clearly and inoffensively , I thank God for you !
Jesse, please don't take this wrong I care, and I am trying to understand. I have read your posts on Matthew and some of it is helpful, but I do not agree with your understanding of the meaning you give on some of the Greek words.
In Matthew 16:16 you are saying when Peter told Jesus He is the Son of the living God Peter is confessing to Jesus, that He is the Messiah and He is God. You also say Son of the Living God is a title of God, sorry I don't agree with that. I understand you and probably most on this site believe in a triune God and that Jesus is God, I am sorry, but a title did not die for my sins.
God cannot be the Messiah, if we deny Jesus is the Christ/Messiah we are a liar and an antichrist. The one who does that also denies the Father and the Son, 1 John 2:22.
The heart and truth of the gospel is Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, a man born of a virgin whose Father is God conceived by the Holy Ghost with flesh and blood who God the Father sent, John 3:16. Who became the Messiah when He was anointed with the Holy Ghost after John the Baptise baptized Him. He died for our sins, and we are to confess Him and believe He is the Son of God, 1 John 4:151 John 5:10. In the Son of God Jesus is our faith and the only hope of salvation. Jesus is the one Moses spoke of Deuteronomy 18:15
My understanding is 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 is about this doctrine; I know you and others on here will not agree.
I am not going to interfere in your posts about the grk text, but taking a chance from Chris' post, just to point to you that the word Genesis in Matthew 1:1 is not the same as in Matthew 1:18. Just check it.
As with the Parable of the Wedding Garment this Parable is with reference to the nation of Israel. (Matt.22:11-13). The king in the parable came to see the guests and "he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment." His presumptuous attitude over having the Law did not merit his presence among the guests. A similar rule bars the five bridesmaids who were foolish, "took their lamps, and took no oil with them."(25:3). And borrowing oil from other virgins were not an option. "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut." The foolish virgins of Israel were cast into the outer darkness as with the wedding guest. The king called them all before the foundation of the world and the king would have none of him who made his own rules. Tradition of his fathers was one such rule. " Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth./For many are called, but few are chosen."(22:13-14)
In God's eye's self-righteousness of Israel rendered them among nations on the left," Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." (25:41). This is in keeping with the everlasting covenant where the light is separated from darkness and as nations on the left are despatched to the place prepared for them. "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment." Predestination is tied to the bedrock of the word of God. So the rule of the kingdom of God is, "For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."( Mark 3:35)
I have studied eschatology for over forty years. It's my understanding that Russia, Iran and Turkey will come against Israel. The US is Mystery Babylon. Trump will confirm the Abrahamic Accords and will initially ally with Israel. Then at the halfway point will betray Israel.
Holy angels are in the know of the Word and are witnesses to man whether man admits it or not. It is the Father who made it possible. "And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace." The same at Jericho .(vv.3-5) The Spirit presents us the sons of the prophet and the holy angels which supplied their foreknowledge. We have the word of Jesus commending St Peter, "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." (Matt.16:17)
Coming back to the talents the servant with one talent relied his own rational faculties and life experience, He saw God in the manner his world about him taught, "that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed."(v.24) Obviously he had no appreciation for the seed sown in his heart. What were established as holy in the kingdom of God was cut out from his knowledge, which was after the traditions of men. He would not work with the world of the Spirit so the glorious body prepared for him was hidden from him. This is what outer darkness signified. It was from dust to dust and ashes to ashes. The rich man in the Parable of Lazarus belonged his class. His burial is different with Lazarus who "and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
"And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
In v.20 we have the servant telling, "Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more," and he gained twice as much because he put the talents entrusted with him according to his ability and also as though his master in him did operate.
On example is, "For she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins." (Is.40:2b)
This 'double' we find mentioned in several places, In 2 Ki.2 we have a clear exposition as to the role of the world of the Spirit on our here-and-now world. Before Elijah departs this world Elisha asked a favor from his mentor, "And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me," which was not Elijah by birthright but the Spirit of Christ working in Elijah the man. The double portion was of the holy angel, as witness for Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ coming in glory with his holy angels is another way of stating it. The Spirit while organising the God document found it necessary to introduce this walk of Elisha with his mentor.
"When the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal." (2 Ki.2:1) Notice that the Spirit does not refer it to physical death but how its understood in the world of the Spirit. For the same reason the sons of the prophets have nothing to do with their profession but signify the holy angels, spiritual counterparts, may be a better term, and they are ware whether at Gilgal, or at Bethel or at Jericho what significance is attached to crossing the Jordan entails.
At each of these place the sons of the prophets speak the same message. After all they behold the face of the Father in heaven. ("Their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven-Matt.18:10)"
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory."
Glory of God is simply the holiness of God in operation. As the judge over all nations the Spirit is not presenting him in relation to his Father but as God himself. He is, as the writer to the Hebrews qualify him as 'the brightness of his glory.' This glory is expressed in his person and in the word of his power in the example he had set as an intercessor for his Father. (He 1:3)
He demonstrated what was the path of glory. "For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's."(Ro.147-9)
He is the Lord both of the dead and living.
Glory of the body that God has prepared before man has only one fit and it is the Man. In his death and resurrection this glorious body is a building not made with hands, a house nevertheless, "eternal in the heavens."
Every man who is called to be holy and blameless before him in love has his work cut out because our Lord Saviour gave the pattern. We need fit the template so one measurement that works has angel part to size already. Do we fit in? It is what the Parable asks? Holy angels are witnesses so whether we did, "inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" require no further evidence.
"For I was an hungered," love of God is in charity so you feed the hungry as though Christ in you did. "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?"( 1 John 3:17; 1 Co.13) Prisons are institutionalised by nations that are complicit with Satan and his angels. Bringing succour in their helplessness is how the love of God is expressed. Nations shall wither away but the glory of God never.
"As a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats./ And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."
This parable is in continuation of the theme of after death and serves as the turnstile from the day of Salvation to the day of Regeneration. Lazarus and the rich man represent same separation as goats from sheep.
In the Vision of the Woman Clothed with the Sun we have similarly had two groups tagged by Twelve and Ten. Both are set in direct line of vision which can never change since they are thus held by His sovereign Power of Wisdom. "The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God." God's vision keeps the fool who says in his heart in that line as the wise who shall understand. What is the heart but a spiritual seeded with His breath? ( Job 26:13;Ps.33.15; Ps.14:2) He has fashioned hearts of men alike and ability to approach Him is similarly set on a single standard: blood of Jesus. Jesus Christ is the Shepherd and the aforesaid groups are tagged by goats and sheep refer to nations. Let not the terms left and right hold us up. Where they end up is the vital point. In the following verse we are told the group on his right hand are the blessed of 'my Father', "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." (v.34)
This blessedness is set forth under seven days in the opening chapter of the Book of Genesis. Let us make man 'in our image and after our likeness' renders every man interchangeable with another. "The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all."(Pr.22:2). But their works set them apart. "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."(Matt.25:40)
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
This is one of the great verses in the bible, and probably the most debated verse in the bible, so we'll skip it. No, just kidding!
First of all, Jesus says "thou art Peter." The Greek word for Peter is PETROS, which means a small rock or stone. The word for rock that was used for Jesus is PETRA. It looks like they are from the same word. One is masculine and one is feminine. PETRA is a massive rock, a foundation stone.
So, we are talking about a little pebble. That is what PETROS is. And a PETRA is like a cement slab, a foundation. The two words are not even close in identification. And so, people argue and debate and say, thou art Peter, PETROS, and upon this rock PETRA, I will build my church. They say that since it is not the same word as Peter, then maybe PETRA refers to his confession, that everybody that makes the confession that Peter made they will be the ones that will make up the church.
Others say that it makes reference to Peter and that the church is based or built on Peter, and that he's the foundation of the church. Religious groups held up this view for many, many years. At least one group still does.
Well, what is interesting here is that PETRA, and we are just going to follow the word PETRA, because PETROS is for Peter. That is it. In 1 Corinthians 10:4, concerning the children of Israel going through the wilderness, Paul says, and they did all drink the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual rock, PETRA, that followed them and that rock, PETRA, was Christ. So, PETRA was Christ 1 Corinthians 10:4.
Matthew 16:16 - And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Some people say, "wait a minute, it says Son of God!"
Something very important to understand:
There are a few Greek words in the New Testament for the word son. The verb form to give birth is TIKTO. The noun form that names the child that has experienced the birth is called a TEKNON.
So, people go from door-to-door, and they tell you that Jesus can't be God because He was the Son of God. And as a son, He had to be born. And they also say that not only is there God the Father, but there has to be god the mother because you can't have a son unless you have a father and a mother. They say that God the Father and god the mother are in heaven and Jesus is their son. And the son can't be the Father, they can't be the same people. Good grief!
Well, you got to love the Greek because this word for son has nothing to do with birth. It is the word HUIOS. Jesus is never called a TEKNON in the scriptures. TEKNON means a child by birth. A HUIOS is someone who inherits the estate from his father. He is in line to inherit the estate. And what happened was Jesus said that He came as the Son, and the Father has given all things into His hands. Everybody is going to have to answer to Jesus Christ!
When He said, "the Son of the living God," that's a title of God to the Jews. What Peter was confessing was you are the Messiah and you are God.
Matthew 16:17 - And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
The term bar Jonah, bar is the word son in Aramaic. So, He says Simon the son of Jonah. He says blessed art thou, and there's our word MAKARIOS we saw in the beatitudes.
It means to experience the fullness of something. He's telling Peter that you have been illuminated, enlightened, and it is a revelation from God.
Matthew 15:22 - And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
First of all, she is a Gentile, a Canaanite woman. Secondly, notice her plea: She says, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. Literally, "my daughter is severely demonized." That is the literal translation from the Greek text. Interesting!
Matthew 16:8 - Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
And when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith. Now I want to share this with you. Where it says "O ye of little faith," that is all one word in the Greek text, and it is a title. To have "little faith" is to have no faith!
Matthew 14:9 - And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
Herod was sorry. I want to share something about this word "sorry" because sometimes people say sorry, and we just take it as a grain of salt, and we move on. But the Greek word used in this verse is the word LUPAY, which means that he was literally grieved. Not just sorry, but literally he grieved! But he gave the commandment because he had to in front of all of his friends.
Matthew 14:26 - And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
The word spirit in Greek is PHANTASMA, and it where we get our English word phantom from. They thought He was a ghost. It is not the word for spirit. It is the word for ghost. They thought He was a ghost and they cried out.
Matthew 14:27 - But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
But straightway, or immediately, Jesus spake unto them saying, be of good cheer. Literally be of courage. He didn't mean be happy. He just meant, have some courage here guys!
But please notice this. Jesus says it is I, except in the Greek it doesn't say it is I. It says AYGO AYMI, or I AM, and that's the name of God, Jehovah God in the Old Testament. He says, be of courage, I AM! Do not be afraid!
Matthew 14:28 - And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
Peter answered and said unto him, Lord, if it be thou, and in the Greek text that is called the first-class condition assumed to be true. What Peter is saying is "Since it's you. And please notice as a side note that the storm is still going. It hasn't stopped. Some people lose that as they read through it.
Matthew 13:5 - Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
The Greek word for "stony places" is PETRODAY, and it actually means a slab. It does not mean that the soil was mixed up with rocks. It means that there was a slab, or a foundation stone underneath the soil, some kind of limestone or foundation stone underneath the dirt. And the seed would hit the dirt, and as all plants do, it would try to burrow itself. And then as all grass and plants do, they naturally try to spread root and establish a root system before they start cropping up on the top. This seed only has enough to be caught in the dirt. But it has nowhere to go for a root system.
Matthew 13:21 - Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
The phrase "by and by" is one word in the Greek (EUTHUS) that means Immediately. Properly translated "immediately, he is offended."
Matthew 13:25 - But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
A tare is what is called in the Greek ZIDZANIA, which means that it is actually black wheat. It looks exactly the same as wheat in its stalk as it grows, but when it gets to the time to blossom, the fruit of the wheat seed, some are black, and some are not. Now the ZIDZANIA (the tares), they are poisonous.
They used to feed those to their livestock because it's not good for food for people. But the animals started dying, and they began to realize that they were poisonous. All of a sudden you have got a good crop of wheat growing, but you have also got these tares growing with it.
So, the enemy came in, and sometimes they would do that to each other, is that a farmer would be growing his wheat, and then his enemy farmer down the street comes in the night and puts in tares, just to give them a bad crop.
Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever told anyone on this forum that I was a man. I just assumed from my name that people would put it together. Throughout the years I have been posting here, folks have addressed me as "brother." I would have corrected them if I were not a man. But I can truly say that I "identify" as a man, properly meaning (but going against today's society), that I was born male, I will always be male, and nothing can ever change that!
As for the NIV information you have been posting, I did not know that was for me. My apologies for that! I do read your posts, but as I've mentioned, I don't read the NIV and probably never will. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I have not read what you've been sharing on the history of the NIV as I did not know you were addressing those posts to me, and it is not something that interests me.
However, you might feel this information will benefit me in some way, so I will respectfully read it all. I hope you don't feel as though you've wasted your time up to this point by posting all that information. I would feel bad for that! I'm sure others may have read what you've shared. There are some here who do read the NIV, so what you are sharing on it might definitely benefit those who do.
I am going to copy and paste all that information you posted to a Word document so it doesn't get lost in the pages (hard to find later), and I will read it all as soon as I get some free time. Lately, I have been working on those study comparisons and differences between the Greek text and our English bible translations, including the KJB.
We have the Parable of Jesus to indicate where the dead in Christ go to. "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;/And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."( Luke 16:22-23). Abraham's bosom and the depths are alike in the heavenly places. In Job 41 we have a clue to the rich man's discomfort. "Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron./His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth." (41:20-21) The place has another name 'bottomless pit' which is guarded by an angel Abbadon/Apollyon.(Re.9:11) As Abraham explains to the rich man in torment "Between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence."( Luke 16:26) This fixity is like a door shut after the rapture. This is illustrated in the Parable of the Five Foolish Virgins' where the peril of negligence is very clear. "And the door was shut./Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us./But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not."(Matt.25:10-12)
The direct line of vision does not ever change. While alive the beggar was in direct line of vision the rich man could see him at the gate. After death we find the rich man from his place could see Lazarus resting in the bosom of Abraham. There is another instance this direct line of vision is rather brought out indirectly. Moses brings people to meet God and when He descends the mountain quaked. "And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because theLorddescended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly."(Ex.19: 16-18) . The same smoke from the bottomless pit, "and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace"(v.2
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

My Respond evidence scriptures:
'So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: For he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. '
Psalm 119:128
'Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right, And I hate every false way.'
Believing in God ( Romans 10:9-10) is a precept.

Ways you can seek God is by reading your bible, and praying. Reading your bible and prayer is a sign of worship.

My Respond:
Romans 10:9-10 allows you to become like God at the time you believe. Believing in God is a sign of worship.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
9 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Ephesians 2:15-16 KJV
15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
God has blessed me to become like his image, my inner man having faith and believing in Jesus Christ ( Romans 10:9-10 KJV) becomes a sign of worship. Reading my Bible and praying allows things to be added to me food, raiment and to do God's commission.
Commission- The state of that which is entrusted, as the great seal was put into commission; or the state of being authorized to act or perform service
"And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth."
God chose inheritors in light before the foundation of the world. They are as stars.
God set the children of wrath also in heavenly places. The word of God forever settled in heaven can change their composition. Faith of man is what God seeks. "TheLordlooked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God."(Ps.14:2)
Light and darkness have their own configurations so principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world, have their correspondence with spiritual wickedness in high places. For example Michael an archangel fighting with his angel have rulers of the darkness in the depths. Behemoth is one such. "He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him." ( Job 40:19). He is not to be confused with hippo or croc of the Nile. "Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known." Just as God garnished the heavens with starry host the crooked serpent or behemoths are grouped under 'thy way'.(Ps.77.19). In the same discourse God tells Job, "Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth."(40:23)
The Single measurement which God has laid down where man and angel are composite realities on the Spirit that rules throughout His kingdom. What signifies a time, times and a half? Ministry of Jesus as the Spirit of Christ refer to the wonders he did is a time. For example the spiritual Rock,(1 Co.10:3-4) Times refer to the the slain Lamb-Re.13:8 and the Paschal Lamb heaven and earth and a half represents the gospel he preached in his Spirit to the souls in prison.
After rapture what is left of the earth are eternal habitations "that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations."( Luke 16:9)
GOD is Spirit,the Word- John 1:1.He is greater than JESUS- John 14:28,and 5:19-20,and 12:49.GOD Himself,the Word,is self-executing, JESUS is not- John 5:30.They are One in Spirit,but not in existence personal->GOD the Father,and the Word MADE FLESH-JESUS,both are DISTINCTS Persons- Philippians 2:6-9.
GOD has put all things under the feet of JESUS- 1Corinthians 15:27, but Hebrews 2:8-12 say:...8But now we see not yet all things put under Him.9But we see JESUS,who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,crowned with Glory and Honour; that He by the Grace of GOD should taste death for every man.
1Corinthians 15:27-28
27For GOD has put all things under JESUS's feet.But when GOD saith all things are put under JESUS,it is manifest that GOD is excepted, which did put all things under JESUS.
28And when all things shall be subdued unto JESUS,then shall the Son also Himself be SUBJETED unto GOD that put all things under JESUS,that GOD may be all in all.
JESUS is the Spirit-GOD-MADE FLESH->GOD-Christ.Great mystery- John 1:14 combined with Colossians 2:9 and Philippians 2:6-11.Both are one Spirit- John 10:30,but two DISTINCTS Persons being the same Spirit Creator-GOD,having the SAME IMAGE,the image of the Spirit-GOD,one is invisible, and one is vsible- John 14:8-10.JESUS said: John 5:30->I can of mine own self do nothing:.
JESUS as the Greater Light,He commented about the lesser Light-the Person of the Holy Spirit-saying he is the Comfort,the Paraclete,and revealed what is the the mission of him here: John 16:7-15:(By analogy,the moon receive light from the sun,the moon has not ligh in it itself;the person of the Holy Spirit,the Comfort,he has not light in he himself,so he cannot speak anything if does not receive from JESUS- John 16:13.JESUS SAID:he shall receive of mine,and shall shew it unto you- John 16:14,and he shall take of mine,and shall shew it unto you- John 16:15)
JESUS commented about the mission of the Holy Spirit- John 16:7-15

God Bless!!!
I just returned home from the road and just copied and printed the material.
I will be reading them and adding them to my study.
You're time and effort is appreciated and will not be wasted.
Thanks again and God bless!
Thank you, I also consider Jesse a brother in Christ. I hope he will not be offended from what I replied to him. It is my understanding not against him. We are all on a journey and the Holy Spirit is our guide. This subject many will not discuss and I am grateful Jesse and others on this site is open to discuss it.

I'm not confident that I can disagree with someone without offending them and I love Brother Jesse as my Brother in Christ .
So , because I don't believe that I'm good enough at expressing myself without offending , I say nothing . You just said it perfectly for me , so , I shall say again thank you . Now I shall be quiet because I have no wish to offend , you manage to say things clearly and inoffensively , I thank God for you !
Revelation is about the revealing of Jesus Christ.
The kingdom of God is Jesus Christ and YOU as ONE FLESH.
The prophecy applies to YOU and Christ, as being one flesh.
Revelation 22:10 .....Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book, for the TIME IS AT HAND .....
Matthew 4:17 .... for the kingdom of heaven (God) IS AT HAND ....
The REVELATION is the same whether one lived 1900 years ago, today, or 1900 years in the future.
It has nothing to do with Russia, Iran, Trump or any other nation or person.
TODAY is the day of salvation, whether it was 1900 years ago, today, or 1900 years from now.
The prophecy is for each person, as Christ reveals HIMSELF (truth and life) to that person.
Apply Revelation to YOURSELF, not to some nation, or other person.
God Bless You
Jesse, please don't take this wrong I care, and I am trying to understand. I have read your posts on Matthew and some of it is helpful, but I do not agree with your understanding of the meaning you give on some of the Greek words.
In Matthew 16:16 you are saying when Peter told Jesus He is the Son of the living God Peter is confessing to Jesus, that He is the Messiah and He is God. You also say Son of the Living God is a title of God, sorry I don't agree with that. I understand you and probably most on this site believe in a triune God and that Jesus is God, I am sorry, but a title did not die for my sins.
God cannot be the Messiah, if we deny Jesus is the Christ/Messiah we are a liar and an antichrist. The one who does that also denies the Father and the Son, 1 John 2:22.
The heart and truth of the gospel is Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, a man born of a virgin whose Father is God conceived by the Holy Ghost with flesh and blood who God the Father sent, John 3:16. Who became the Messiah when He was anointed with the Holy Ghost after John the Baptise baptized Him. He died for our sins, and we are to confess Him and believe He is the Son of God, 1 John 4:15 1 John 5:10. In the Son of God Jesus is our faith and the only hope of salvation. Jesus is the one Moses spoke of Deuteronomy 18:15
My understanding is 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 is about this doctrine; I know you and others on here will not agree.
God bless,
RLW
I am not going to interfere in your posts about the grk text, but taking a chance from Chris' post, just to point to you that the word Genesis in Matthew 1:1 is not the same as in Matthew 1:18. Just check it.
As with the Parable of the Wedding Garment this Parable is with reference to the nation of Israel. (Matt.22:11-13). The king in the parable came to see the guests and "he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment." His presumptuous attitude over having the Law did not merit his presence among the guests. A similar rule bars the five bridesmaids who were foolish, "took their lamps, and took no oil with them."(25:3). And borrowing oil from other virgins were not an option. "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut." The foolish virgins of Israel were cast into the outer darkness as with the wedding guest. The king called them all before the foundation of the world and the king would have none of him who made his own rules. Tradition of his fathers was one such rule. " Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth./For many are called, but few are chosen."(22:13-14)
In God's eye's self-righteousness of Israel rendered them among nations on the left," Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." (25:41). This is in keeping with the everlasting covenant where the light is separated from darkness and as nations on the left are despatched to the place prepared for them. "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment." Predestination is tied to the bedrock of the word of God. So the rule of the kingdom of God is, "For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."( Mark 3:35)
Holy angels are in the know of the Word and are witnesses to man whether man admits it or not. It is the Father who made it possible. "And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace." The same at Jericho .(vv.3-5) The Spirit presents us the sons of the prophet and the holy angels which supplied their foreknowledge. We have the word of Jesus commending St Peter, "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." (Matt.16:17)
Coming back to the talents the servant with one talent relied his own rational faculties and life experience, He saw God in the manner his world about him taught, "that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed."(v.24) Obviously he had no appreciation for the seed sown in his heart. What were established as holy in the kingdom of God was cut out from his knowledge, which was after the traditions of men. He would not work with the world of the Spirit so the glorious body prepared for him was hidden from him. This is what outer darkness signified. It was from dust to dust and ashes to ashes. The rich man in the Parable of Lazarus belonged his class. His burial is different with Lazarus who "and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
"And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
In v.20 we have the servant telling, "Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more," and he gained twice as much because he put the talents entrusted with him according to his ability and also as though his master in him did operate.
On example is, "For she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins." (Is.40:2b)
This 'double' we find mentioned in several places, In 2 Ki.2 we have a clear exposition as to the role of the world of the Spirit on our here-and-now world. Before Elijah departs this world Elisha asked a favor from his mentor, "And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me," which was not Elijah by birthright but the Spirit of Christ working in Elijah the man. The double portion was of the holy angel, as witness for Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ coming in glory with his holy angels is another way of stating it. The Spirit while organising the God document found it necessary to introduce this walk of Elisha with his mentor.
"When the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal." (2 Ki.2:1) Notice that the Spirit does not refer it to physical death but how its understood in the world of the Spirit. For the same reason the sons of the prophets have nothing to do with their profession but signify the holy angels, spiritual counterparts, may be a better term, and they are ware whether at Gilgal, or at Bethel or at Jericho what significance is attached to crossing the Jordan entails.
At each of these place the sons of the prophets speak the same message. After all they behold the face of the Father in heaven. ("Their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven-Matt.18:10)"
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory."
Glory of God is simply the holiness of God in operation. As the judge over all nations the Spirit is not presenting him in relation to his Father but as God himself. He is, as the writer to the Hebrews qualify him as 'the brightness of his glory.' This glory is expressed in his person and in the word of his power in the example he had set as an intercessor for his Father. (He 1:3)
He demonstrated what was the path of glory. "For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's."(Ro.147-9)
He is the Lord both of the dead and living.
Glory of the body that God has prepared before man has only one fit and it is the Man. In his death and resurrection this glorious body is a building not made with hands, a house nevertheless, "eternal in the heavens."
Every man who is called to be holy and blameless before him in love has his work cut out because our Lord Saviour gave the pattern. We need fit the template so one measurement that works has angel part to size already. Do we fit in? It is what the Parable asks? Holy angels are witnesses so whether we did, "inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" require no further evidence.
"For I was an hungered," love of God is in charity so you feed the hungry as though Christ in you did. "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?"( 1 John 3:17; 1 Co.13) Prisons are institutionalised by nations that are complicit with Satan and his angels. Bringing succour in their helplessness is how the love of God is expressed. Nations shall wither away but the glory of God never.
"As a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats./ And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."
This parable is in continuation of the theme of after death and serves as the turnstile from the day of Salvation to the day of Regeneration. Lazarus and the rich man represent same separation as goats from sheep.
In the Vision of the Woman Clothed with the Sun we have similarly had two groups tagged by Twelve and Ten. Both are set in direct line of vision which can never change since they are thus held by His sovereign Power of Wisdom. "The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God." God's vision keeps the fool who says in his heart in that line as the wise who shall understand. What is the heart but a spiritual seeded with His breath? ( Job 26:13;Ps.33.15; Ps.14:2) He has fashioned hearts of men alike and ability to approach Him is similarly set on a single standard: blood of Jesus. Jesus Christ is the Shepherd and the aforesaid groups are tagged by goats and sheep refer to nations. Let not the terms left and right hold us up. Where they end up is the vital point. In the following verse we are told the group on his right hand are the blessed of 'my Father', "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." (v.34)
This blessedness is set forth under seven days in the opening chapter of the Book of Genesis. Let us make man 'in our image and after our likeness' renders every man interchangeable with another. "The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all."(Pr.22:2). But their works set them apart. "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."(Matt.25:40)
Ps.33:14-15
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
This is one of the great verses in the bible, and probably the most debated verse in the bible, so we'll skip it. No, just kidding!
First of all, Jesus says "thou art Peter." The Greek word for Peter is PETROS, which means a small rock or stone. The word for rock that was used for Jesus is PETRA. It looks like they are from the same word. One is masculine and one is feminine. PETRA is a massive rock, a foundation stone.
So, we are talking about a little pebble. That is what PETROS is. And a PETRA is like a cement slab, a foundation. The two words are not even close in identification. And so, people argue and debate and say, thou art Peter, PETROS, and upon this rock PETRA, I will build my church. They say that since it is not the same word as Peter, then maybe PETRA refers to his confession, that everybody that makes the confession that Peter made they will be the ones that will make up the church.
Others say that it makes reference to Peter and that the church is based or built on Peter, and that he's the foundation of the church. Religious groups held up this view for many, many years. At least one group still does.
Well, what is interesting here is that PETRA, and we are just going to follow the word PETRA, because PETROS is for Peter. That is it. In 1 Corinthians 10:4, concerning the children of Israel going through the wilderness, Paul says, and they did all drink the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual rock, PETRA, that followed them and that rock, PETRA, was Christ. So, PETRA was Christ 1 Corinthians 10:4.
Matthew 16:16 - And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Some people say, "wait a minute, it says Son of God!"
Something very important to understand:
There are a few Greek words in the New Testament for the word son. The verb form to give birth is TIKTO. The noun form that names the child that has experienced the birth is called a TEKNON.
So, people go from door-to-door, and they tell you that Jesus can't be God because He was the Son of God. And as a son, He had to be born. And they also say that not only is there God the Father, but there has to be god the mother because you can't have a son unless you have a father and a mother. They say that God the Father and god the mother are in heaven and Jesus is their son. And the son can't be the Father, they can't be the same people. Good grief!
Well, you got to love the Greek because this word for son has nothing to do with birth. It is the word HUIOS. Jesus is never called a TEKNON in the scriptures. TEKNON means a child by birth. A HUIOS is someone who inherits the estate from his father. He is in line to inherit the estate. And what happened was Jesus said that He came as the Son, and the Father has given all things into His hands. Everybody is going to have to answer to Jesus Christ!
When He said, "the Son of the living God," that's a title of God to the Jews. What Peter was confessing was you are the Messiah and you are God.
Matthew 16:17 - And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
The term bar Jonah, bar is the word son in Aramaic. So, He says Simon the son of Jonah. He says blessed art thou, and there's our word MAKARIOS we saw in the beatitudes.
It means to experience the fullness of something. He's telling Peter that you have been illuminated, enlightened, and it is a revelation from God.
Matthew 15:22 - And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
First of all, she is a Gentile, a Canaanite woman. Secondly, notice her plea: She says, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. Literally, "my daughter is severely demonized." That is the literal translation from the Greek text. Interesting!
Matthew 16:8 - Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
And when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith. Now I want to share this with you. Where it says "O ye of little faith," that is all one word in the Greek text, and it is a title. To have "little faith" is to have no faith!
Matthew 14:9 - And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
Herod was sorry. I want to share something about this word "sorry" because sometimes people say sorry, and we just take it as a grain of salt, and we move on. But the Greek word used in this verse is the word LUPAY, which means that he was literally grieved. Not just sorry, but literally he grieved! But he gave the commandment because he had to in front of all of his friends.
Matthew 14:26 - And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
The word spirit in Greek is PHANTASMA, and it where we get our English word phantom from. They thought He was a ghost. It is not the word for spirit. It is the word for ghost. They thought He was a ghost and they cried out.
Matthew 14:27 - But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
But straightway, or immediately, Jesus spake unto them saying, be of good cheer. Literally be of courage. He didn't mean be happy. He just meant, have some courage here guys!
But please notice this. Jesus says it is I, except in the Greek it doesn't say it is I. It says AYGO AYMI, or I AM, and that's the name of God, Jehovah God in the Old Testament. He says, be of courage, I AM! Do not be afraid!
Matthew 14:28 - And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
Peter answered and said unto him, Lord, if it be thou, and in the Greek text that is called the first-class condition assumed to be true. What Peter is saying is "Since it's you. And please notice as a side note that the storm is still going. It hasn't stopped. Some people lose that as they read through it.
Matthew 13:5 - Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
The Greek word for "stony places" is PETRODAY, and it actually means a slab. It does not mean that the soil was mixed up with rocks. It means that there was a slab, or a foundation stone underneath the soil, some kind of limestone or foundation stone underneath the dirt. And the seed would hit the dirt, and as all plants do, it would try to burrow itself. And then as all grass and plants do, they naturally try to spread root and establish a root system before they start cropping up on the top. This seed only has enough to be caught in the dirt. But it has nowhere to go for a root system.
Matthew 13:21 - Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
The phrase "by and by" is one word in the Greek (EUTHUS) that means Immediately. Properly translated "immediately, he is offended."
Matthew 13:25 - But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
A tare is what is called in the Greek ZIDZANIA, which means that it is actually black wheat. It looks exactly the same as wheat in its stalk as it grows, but when it gets to the time to blossom, the fruit of the wheat seed, some are black, and some are not. Now the ZIDZANIA (the tares), they are poisonous.
They used to feed those to their livestock because it's not good for food for people. But the animals started dying, and they began to realize that they were poisonous. All of a sudden you have got a good crop of wheat growing, but you have also got these tares growing with it.
So, the enemy came in, and sometimes they would do that to each other, is that a farmer would be growing his wheat, and then his enemy farmer down the street comes in the night and puts in tares, just to give them a bad crop.
Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever told anyone on this forum that I was a man. I just assumed from my name that people would put it together. Throughout the years I have been posting here, folks have addressed me as "brother." I would have corrected them if I were not a man. But I can truly say that I "identify" as a man, properly meaning (but going against today's society), that I was born male, I will always be male, and nothing can ever change that!
As for the NIV information you have been posting, I did not know that was for me. My apologies for that! I do read your posts, but as I've mentioned, I don't read the NIV and probably never will. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I have not read what you've been sharing on the history of the NIV as I did not know you were addressing those posts to me, and it is not something that interests me.
However, you might feel this information will benefit me in some way, so I will respectfully read it all. I hope you don't feel as though you've wasted your time up to this point by posting all that information. I would feel bad for that! I'm sure others may have read what you've shared. There are some here who do read the NIV, so what you are sharing on it might definitely benefit those who do.
I am going to copy and paste all that information you posted to a Word document so it doesn't get lost in the pages (hard to find later), and I will read it all as soon as I get some free time. Lately, I have been working on those study comparisons and differences between the Greek text and our English bible translations, including the KJB.
Blessings to you also!
I will share some of my far out thoughts on Adam at a later date..
Off to bed.
God bless you.
We have the Parable of Jesus to indicate where the dead in Christ go to. "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;/And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."( Luke 16:22-23). Abraham's bosom and the depths are alike in the heavenly places. In Job 41 we have a clue to the rich man's discomfort. "Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron./His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth." (41:20-21) The place has another name 'bottomless pit' which is guarded by an angel Abbadon/Apollyon.(Re.9:11) As Abraham explains to the rich man in torment "Between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence."( Luke 16:26) This fixity is like a door shut after the rapture. This is illustrated in the Parable of the Five Foolish Virgins' where the peril of negligence is very clear. "And the door was shut./Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us./But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not."(Matt.25:10-12)
The direct line of vision does not ever change. While alive the beggar was in direct line of vision the rich man could see him at the gate. After death we find the rich man from his place could see Lazarus resting in the bosom of Abraham. There is another instance this direct line of vision is rather brought out indirectly. Moses brings people to meet God and when He descends the mountain quaked. "And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because theLorddescended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly."(Ex.19: 16-18) . The same smoke from the bottomless pit, "and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace"(v.2

God has blessed me to become like his image, my inner man having faith and believing in Jesus Christ ( Romans 10:9-10 KJV) becomes a sign of worship. Reading my Bible and praying allows things to be added to me food, raiment and to do God's commission.
Commission- The state of that which is entrusted, as the great seal was put into commission; or the state of being authorized to act or perform service
"And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth."
God chose inheritors in light before the foundation of the world. They are as stars.
God set the children of wrath also in heavenly places. The word of God forever settled in heaven can change their composition. Faith of man is what God seeks. "TheLordlooked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God."(Ps.14:2)
Light and darkness have their own configurations so principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world, have their correspondence with spiritual wickedness in high places. For example Michael an archangel fighting with his angel have rulers of the darkness in the depths. Behemoth is one such. "He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him." ( Job 40:19). He is not to be confused with hippo or croc of the Nile. "Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known." Just as God garnished the heavens with starry host the crooked serpent or behemoths are grouped under 'thy way'.(Ps.77.19). In the same discourse God tells Job, "Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth."(40:23)
The Single measurement which God has laid down where man and angel are composite realities on the Spirit that rules throughout His kingdom. What signifies a time, times and a half? Ministry of Jesus as the Spirit of Christ refer to the wonders he did is a time. For example the spiritual Rock,(1 Co.10:3-4) Times refer to the the slain Lamb-Re.13:8 and the Paschal Lamb heaven and earth and a half represents the gospel he preached in his Spirit to the souls in prison.
After rapture what is left of the earth are eternal habitations "that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations."( Luke 16:9)
GOD is Spirit,the Word- John 1:1.He is greater than JESUS- John 14:28,and 5:19-20,and 12:49.GOD Himself,the Word,is self-executing, JESUS is not- John 5:30.They are One in Spirit,but not in existence personal->GOD the Father,and the Word MADE FLESH-JESUS,both are DISTINCTS Persons- Philippians 2:6-9.
GOD has put all things under the feet of JESUS- 1Corinthians 15:27, but Hebrews 2:8-12 say:...8But now we see not yet all things put under Him.9But we see JESUS,who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,crowned with Glory and Honour; that He by the Grace of GOD should taste death for every man.
1Corinthians 15:27-28
27For GOD has put all things under JESUS's feet.But when GOD saith all things are put under JESUS,it is manifest that GOD is excepted, which did put all things under JESUS.
28And when all things shall be subdued unto JESUS,then shall the Son also Himself be SUBJETED unto GOD that put all things under JESUS,that GOD may be all in all.
JESUS is the Spirit-GOD-MADE FLESH->GOD-Christ.Great mystery- John 1:14 combined with Colossians 2:9 and Philippians 2:6-11.Both are one Spirit- John 10:30,but two DISTINCTS Persons being the same Spirit Creator-GOD,having the SAME IMAGE,the image of the Spirit-GOD,one is invisible, and one is vsible- John 14:8-10.JESUS said: John 5:30->I can of mine own self do nothing:.
JESUS as the Greater Light,He commented about the lesser Light-the Person of the Holy Spirit-saying he is the Comfort,the Paraclete,and revealed what is the the mission of him here: John 16:7-15:(By analogy,the moon receive light from the sun,the moon has not ligh in it itself;the person of the Holy Spirit,the Comfort,he has not light in he himself,so he cannot speak anything if does not receive from JESUS- John 16:13.JESUS SAID:he shall receive of mine,and shall shew it unto you- John 16:14,and he shall take of mine,and shall shew it unto you- John 16:15)
JESUS commented about the mission of the Holy Spirit- John 16:7-15
