YHWH is the name expressed to Moses when he (Moses) met with God in the burning bush. ( Exodus 3) YHWH means the ever-existing one who is eternal and has life within Himself. This tells us that YHWH has always existed. This name tells us that He is God for all time and eternity. This name, YHWH, expresses a truth about God. He has revealed many other names in the Bible that express other truths about Himself, such as El Shaddai, Adonai, Elohim. You can look up "the names of God in the Bible to get a list and also what they mean.
The creation in the first chapters of Genesis is both an act at that time and a prophecy of a second creation at Christ resurrection.
God MADE man from dust, breathed life into him and man became a living BODY, with a carnal mind.
Romans 8:20 For the creature was MADE subject to vanity, NOT WILLINGLY .....
When Christ was RESURRECTED, we became a NEW CREATION.
In Adam the LIFE was in the BLOOD, that life can DIE by the spilling of the BLOOD.
In Christ; LIFE is in the SPIRIT, it's IMMORTAL, spirit can't die.
Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy SPIRIT, they are CREATED: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Christ is also called ADAM.
1 Corinthians 15:45 ...The first man Adam was made a living BODY; the last (man) Adam was made a quicking SPIRIT.
Genesis 5:2 Male and Female CREATED he them; and blessed them, and callled THEIR NAME ADAM (Christ), in the day they were CREATED (I am the resurrection; THE NEW CREATION, the exactness of Christ).
We are BAPTISED in HIS NAME, the new creation.
Jeremiah 7:11 In MY HOUSE, which is called by MY NAME ....
Hebrews 3: Christ as a son over HIS OWN HOUSE, whose HOUSE WE ARE ....
Ephesians .....ONE BODY ......ONE SPIRIT ......
Ephesians 4:4 ..... ONE GOD .... Father of ALL ....above ALL .....through ALL ....and IN YOU ALL .....
Thank you Jane and dear this was a lot in a few sentences. Far too high a level for me, if I may say so. Could you please give us a slightly clearer impression. Because your questions are of interest to several people, I think.
I can give you an answer to one. His likeness is the person we will come to and become as we walk with Jesus Christ. His parable is like Sanctification. We therefore have a body in (God's image) Jesus Christ as a model on earth on holiness, Because He was pure from the beginning.
And we live in the realm of the Holy Spirit where nothing should be secret or hidden. Everything is obvious for all those who see it. Some people never see it, unfortunately. And those who do not accept Him will see it in the end, but the question then is: Did they accept it and it was too late. We have a dark world and a Light world. We must choose sides in the living. After that, it's too late.
We must leave this entirely to God the Father Himself and His counsel. We cannot and must not judge anyone in this life. Let the Lord's will be done on Earth, Amen.
Romans 10 chapter. Take care, and stay strong in Gods word.
I thank you for the scripture my wife passes because they couldn't stop the bleeding. For a while i was upset with God because she left me behind my wife was 26 years old and i was 46 years old.

Can i ask why people think we are made in the image of Our FATHER when it is said in Mathew by CHRIST JESUS " (in his LIKENESS in his vane shew in his phantom image) "Did you not know that in the beginning He created them male and female together- wouldnt this be Partheno Genesis. virgin birth of another race of beings that could change sex at will, could this explain Lilith could have been Lucifer.

Looking forward to any thoughts on this.
Yes, you can ask questions anytime you wish. We all try to help as we feel led and we hope that those asking questions will get an edifying and informative response based on biblical truth.
I heard from him a few days ago when they arrived in Mecca. The had visited the Great Mosque. he sent a picture of he and Elfe.
Please continue to pray for them. Her mom is with them, too. Please pray that the Spirit of God will cause a revulsion within them for the things of Islam, revealing to them that this is a false religion that has deceived millions. Pray that, seeing these things of Islam, the Holy Spirit will remind Brian of the truths of Scripture that he was brought up on and change his heart to embrace the Lord and reject Islam. Pray that Elfe's heart will be changed and opened to receive what the Holy Spirit wishes to bring to her-regeneration and faith in Jesus. Pray that her parents will be moved by the Holy Spirit to turn from Islam to Christ.
And pray that Elfe's VISA to come to the U.S. permanently will soon be approved.
Welcome Robert. Many of us come on this great website daily or regularly to do this very thing. We're itching to share our understanding of God's Word to those who have genuine, pressing questions on their hearts; because the Word is precious to us & uppermost in our thoughts & meditations.
But with all matters centered on the Bible, we would expect that the enquirer would be in prayer about it & diligently search the Scriptures for themselves even after receiving our responses to you. It is ultimately God's Holy Spirit that has to make His Word real & meaningful to your heart & life. Blessings.
For the believer, Jesus is our hope ( 1 Timothy 1:1), He is our peace ( Ephesians 2:14), He is the light of the world ( John 8:12), He is the good shepherd who gave His life for His sheep (All those who have surrendered their life to Him ( John 10:11), He is the head of the church ( Ephesians 1:22), He is the only one who sets us free from our sin ( John 8:36), He is our redeemer ( Job 19:25), He is the only atoning sacrifice for our sin ( 1 John 4:10), He is the Savior of those who receive Him ( Luke 2:11, John 1:12), He is the creator of all things ( Colossians 1:16-17, John 1:1-3), He is the word of God, and He is God ( John 1:1, Isaiah 9:6), He is our only way to salvation ( John 10:9, John 14:6).
There are many, many more descriptors in the Bible that tell us who Jesus is, but it would take many more posts to list them all.
You want you prayers to always be answered; Pray in this manner, THY WILL BE DONE.
Prays of thanksgiving is what pleased God.
We don't know that God is not using sickness and hurting to bring his people to him, we can ask, but it should always be in the context of HIS WILL BE DONE.
He knows exactly what needs to be done in each of his children to conform them to the IMAGE of CHRIST.
Many preach a prosperity gospel, but Christ said you enter the kingdom through much tribulation.
Hello, let's compare scripture with what I understand you to be saying. Please correct me if I am wrong in understanding your position.
God: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 KJV
You: It sounds like... you don't "need" or "want" God's grace and may not even need to follow Christ (be a Christian)? "In regards to "having a free get out of hell card", it appears you are assuming Alex and others who believe as we do, want one or even need one. "
God: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:" Matthew 7:13 KJV
You: "salvation is all inclusive." It sounds like you're ignoring God or calling Him dishonest when He says that most will go to hell, that salvation is intended for everyone but most will not choose to follow Jesus and thus will go to hell. Acts 4:12
God: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 KJV
You: It sounds like you don't believe what the Bible says or don't believe God, because there is a risk of everyone going to hell. Someone must make a choice and "believe" as it says above. How someone can ignore this obvious verse I do not yet understand.
God: "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38 KJV
You: It sounds like you ignore the above command, that you DON'T need to repent or do anything, and that you don't even need to be forgiven? Because you assume you're already saved regardless of your actions and will be in heaven with Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and the worlds worst mass murderers dining and hanging out with them?
Do you consider yourself a Christian and can you please share what criteria you followed to believe you are one?
Can anyone LIST ALL the things that one MUST OBEY, so one want go to hell? an what if your fail to do one?
This is exactly what the OLD covenant was; a LIST, and they FAILED.
Christ did away with the OLD list if LAWS, and set up a NEW covenant, He would be THE (immortal) LIFE in the NEW CREATION, and he ''CAN OBEY ALL GOD'S WORDS''.
John 14:6 ....I am THE LIFE ....
Romans 8:2 For THE LAW (2nd covenant) of the Spirit of (immoral) LIFE in Christ Jesus hath made me FREE from THE LAW (1st covenant) of sin and DEATH (not hell).
1 Timothy 6:16 Who (Christ) ONLY hath immortality, dwelling in the LIGHT ...
You and I DIED on the CROSS.
Satan tells you It's still up to you to OBEY, who are you going to believe the lies of Satan or the SPIRIT of TRUTH.
John 14:6 ....I am TRUTH .....
Philippians 2:13 For it is God in you (the new creation) that worketh both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
The manmade doctrine of 100% everyone being "saved" is not only a serious misinterpretation of what the Bible says, but is a lie originating from satan himself. Satan wants people to deceived into believing this so they don't feel they need to obey God whatsoever. It's wrapped up in clever fallacies and false assumptions. All someone has to do to refute this manmade idea is to read the Bible. I'd rather listen to Jesus then a man. Both aren't right, so by definition one of these beliefs is untrue. Is it true that obeying God is "bad"? Is it likely that God wants you to defy him and do the opposite of what He says, or is it more likely that satan wants that? This sounds exactly like what satan would say.
Those twisting scripture to conform to a narrow cult manmade idea who accuse obedience to God as being "bad" would also be accusing Jesus of the same thing. John 14:15. Satan's signature is usually on pushing opposites of the truth, starting from the garden of eden.
Satan is clever and whenever I see his lies on a Bible site I will keep calling it out so no one else is deceived. Again, the antidote to this poison is actually reading the Bible, because it says so many times that following the law is GOOD. Obedience is GOOD. Following God is GOOD. Romans 6:15 Someone who claims to have freedom to commit any sin imaginable while having a free get out of hell card is exactly what Jesus warned about when He said depart from me. Matthew 7:22-23.
The false assumption and contradiction in the cult doctrine is that everything good is "works" and it's all "bad" meanwhile they don't call sinning as "bad" or "works". So, the assumption is doing any good is bad, and bad is good. Wow.
Alex I think its possible we've already discussed this topic before and your motives are between you and God. He knows your heart and whether you are following Him and believing in the truth. You will have to stand in front of Him like everyone else and account for every word you speak. God be with you.
There is a difference between the Kingdom of God (Christ inside you) and the Kingdom of Heaven (a place to come on earth). Please view Robert Breaker video on you tube labeled The Kingdom of God vs The Kingdom of Heaven for in depth Bible scripture.
Matthew 6:33 (keyword is FIRST... implying there is something to follow - second)
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
You can not "see" or "observe" the Kingdom of God.
Luke 17:20
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Matthew 3:2 "And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Matthew 7:21 (Heaven is a place)
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water thereof was dried up, that THE WAY of the of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Revelation is very, very symbolic, so we have to try to understand what the symbols represent, in their relation to the kingdom of God, YOU becoming the image of Christ, ONE with the WORD.
Angels are messengers send by the spirit of God, so this angel is pouring out God's message on the Euphrates.
The Euphrates (symbolic) is a river, a river is water, and another scripture in Revelation says:
Revelation 17:15 ....the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sits, are peoples and multitudes, and nations and tongues ......ALL mankind, unfaithful to there creator ..... from lack of KNOWLEDGE ......
All God's words are for each person in this sea of humanity, so when God's message (the spirit of truth and life) is poured out on YOU, YOU began to come to TRUTH and become a faithful wife, TRUTH in you, instead a wife of another, LIES and DECEPTION in you.
THE WAY (Christ is truth, life, and the way) of the KINGS (Christ is King of Kings) is prepared ....and when Christ has FINISHED HIS WORK IN YOU, there will be:
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth (a faithful wife; baptised in truth and life) ...and there was no more sea ....peoples, nations, tongues: WHORES; Christ WORDS have OVERCOME lies and deception.
P.2 Rev.11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. (So the 2 witnesses are killed by the beast, then taken to heaven in the clouds) then 2 verses later v.15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (16) And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, (17) Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hath reigned. (18) And the nation were angry, AND THY WRATH IS COME, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. (The timeline in these verses show the two witnesses being killed by ((the beast)) (who would be revealed at this time, especially if we are caught up with them)), then they ascended up to heaven in a cloud,(they are taken out of the way) Then the seventh angel sounds and "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, Then the nations are angry because thy WRATH IS COME, also the dead are judged, rewards are given to His prophets and the saints, (we are not appointed to wrath) and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. (The seventh angel is the last trump, Could the two witnesses going into heaven in the clouds be the same time period we meet our Lord in the clouds? At the 7th trumpet?) The he who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way could be the two witnesses who are killed by the beast, that Wicked who would be revealed at that time, but we would be gone. What do you think Chris?
Chris Thank you for your reply. Our discussions have brought a few things to light for me, as I've been studying this subject. I'm not sure about this I need to study it more, see what you think of it Chris? 2.Thess.2:1-8, I had to add verse #8 because that verse says "And THEN shall that ((Wicked be revealed)), whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming" That Wicked who is revealed is the antichrist, who is also called the (beast), and the son of perdition. The word (Wicked) is #459; it means lawless, not subject to the (Jewish law); by implying a Gentile. (The beast is a Gentile) Now who does the Lord destroy with the brightness of His coming? Rev,19:11-16 is the Lords return to the earth riding a white horse, v.19-20 Tell us (19) And I saw ((the beast)), and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. (20) And ((the beast)) was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. So that Wicked who is revealed after (2.Thes.2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.) is the beast! Now where do we see the beast in the book of Revelation that will connect us to these Lastdays prophecies? The two witnesses are killed by the beast in Rev.11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, ((the beast)) that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them; and shall overcome them, and kill them. (Could this be when that Wicked is revealed?) Rev.11:11-12 (11) And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. cont. p.2
"Apply not The Word of God like the salve of salvation, but the Armor of Righteousness.
For salve's treat wound's and Armor prevents them."
I've seen too many "believers" treat their belief like a religious first aid kit, applying it only as needed for their life's issues. If they only knew how to dawn their armor.
YHWH is the name expressed to Moses when he (Moses) met with God in the burning bush. ( Exodus 3) YHWH means the ever-existing one who is eternal and has life within Himself. This tells us that YHWH has always existed. This name tells us that He is God for all time and eternity. This name, YHWH, expresses a truth about God. He has revealed many other names in the Bible that express other truths about Himself, such as El Shaddai, Adonai, Elohim. You can look up "the names of God in the Bible to get a list and also what they mean.
Like Jesus, we should be in harmony with God desiring that His will be done in our lives.
The creation in the first chapters of Genesis is both an act at that time and a prophecy of a second creation at Christ resurrection.
God MADE man from dust, breathed life into him and man became a living BODY, with a carnal mind.
Romans 8:20 For the creature was MADE subject to vanity, NOT WILLINGLY .....
When Christ was RESURRECTED, we became a NEW CREATION.
In Adam the LIFE was in the BLOOD, that life can DIE by the spilling of the BLOOD.
In Christ; LIFE is in the SPIRIT, it's IMMORTAL, spirit can't die.
Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy SPIRIT, they are CREATED: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Christ is also called ADAM.
1 Corinthians 15:45 ...The first man Adam was made a living BODY; the last (man) Adam was made a quicking SPIRIT.
Genesis 5:2 Male and Female CREATED he them; and blessed them, and callled THEIR NAME ADAM (Christ), in the day they were CREATED (I am the resurrection; THE NEW CREATION, the exactness of Christ).
We are BAPTISED in HIS NAME, the new creation.
Jeremiah 7:11 In MY HOUSE, which is called by MY NAME ....
Hebrews 3: Christ as a son over HIS OWN HOUSE, whose HOUSE WE ARE ....
Ephesians .....ONE BODY ......ONE SPIRIT ......
Ephesians 4:4 ..... ONE GOD .... Father of ALL ....above ALL .....through ALL ....and IN YOU ALL .....
God Bless YOU!
and God Bless all involved
I can give you an answer to one. His likeness is the person we will come to and become as we walk with Jesus Christ. His parable is like Sanctification. We therefore have a body in (God's image) Jesus Christ as a model on earth on holiness, Because He was pure from the beginning.
And we live in the realm of the Holy Spirit where nothing should be secret or hidden. Everything is obvious for all those who see it. Some people never see it, unfortunately. And those who do not accept Him will see it in the end, but the question then is: Did they accept it and it was too late. We have a dark world and a Light world. We must choose sides in the living. After that, it's too late.
We must leave this entirely to God the Father Himself and His counsel. We cannot and must not judge anyone in this life. Let the Lord's will be done on Earth, Amen.
Romans 10 chapter. Take care, and stay strong in Gods word.

Yes, you can ask questions anytime you wish. We all try to help as we feel led and we hope that those asking questions will get an edifying and informative response based on biblical truth.
Thanks for asking about Brian and his wife Elfe.
I heard from him a few days ago when they arrived in Mecca. The had visited the Great Mosque. he sent a picture of he and Elfe.
Please continue to pray for them. Her mom is with them, too. Please pray that the Spirit of God will cause a revulsion within them for the things of Islam, revealing to them that this is a false religion that has deceived millions. Pray that, seeing these things of Islam, the Holy Spirit will remind Brian of the truths of Scripture that he was brought up on and change his heart to embrace the Lord and reject Islam. Pray that Elfe's heart will be changed and opened to receive what the Holy Spirit wishes to bring to her-regeneration and faith in Jesus. Pray that her parents will be moved by the Holy Spirit to turn from Islam to Christ.
And pray that Elfe's VISA to come to the U.S. permanently will soon be approved.

For the believer, Jesus is our hope ( 1 Timothy 1:1), He is our peace ( Ephesians 2:14), He is the light of the world ( John 8:12), He is the good shepherd who gave His life for His sheep (All those who have surrendered their life to Him ( John 10:11), He is the head of the church ( Ephesians 1:22), He is the only one who sets us free from our sin ( John 8:36), He is our redeemer ( Job 19:25), He is the only atoning sacrifice for our sin ( 1 John 4:10), He is the Savior of those who receive Him ( Luke 2:11, John 1:12), He is the creator of all things ( Colossians 1:16-17, John 1:1-3), He is the word of God, and He is God ( John 1:1, Isaiah 9:6), He is our only way to salvation ( John 10:9, John 14:6).

Have you heard from them?
1 Timothy 6:16 Who ONLY hath IMMORTALITY ....
It was a finished WORK 2000 years ago; now, nothing has to be ADDED and certainly nothing can be TAKEN AWAY. This is the Gospel.
You died with Christ, and you were raise a NEW CREATION, it's HIS LIFE IN YOU.
You believe, because God CAUSES you to believe. He's the LIFE in you.
Philippians 1:29 It is GIVEN to you in the behalf of Christ to believe in him ...
You have faith, because Christ is the LIFE in you.
Galatians 2:16 .... the FAITH OF Jesus Christ ....
You have WORKS, because it's HIS LIFE in you.
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD that WORKETH in you both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

The false assumption and contradiction in the cult doctrine is that everything good is "works" and it's all "bad" meanwhile they don't call sinning as "bad" or "works". So, the assumption is doing any good is bad, and bad is good. Wow.
Alex I think its possible we've already discussed this topic before and your motives are between you and God. He knows your heart and whether you are following Him and believing in the truth. You will have to stand in front of Him like everyone else and account for every word you speak. God be with you.
There is a difference between the Kingdom of God (Christ inside you) and the Kingdom of Heaven (a place to come on earth). Please view Robert Breaker video on you tube labeled The Kingdom of God vs The Kingdom of Heaven for in depth Bible scripture.
Matthew 6:33 (keyword is FIRST... implying there is something to follow - second)
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
You can not "see" or "observe" the Kingdom of God.
Luke 17:20
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Matthew 3:2 "And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Matthew 7:21 (Heaven is a place)
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
I suppose your referring to:
Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water thereof was dried up, that THE WAY of the of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Revelation is very, very symbolic, so we have to try to understand what the symbols represent, in their relation to the kingdom of God, YOU becoming the image of Christ, ONE with the WORD.
Angels are messengers send by the spirit of God, so this angel is pouring out God's message on the Euphrates.
The Euphrates (symbolic) is a river, a river is water, and another scripture in Revelation says:
Revelation 17:15 ....the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sits, are peoples and multitudes, and nations and tongues ......ALL mankind, unfaithful to there creator ..... from lack of KNOWLEDGE ......
All God's words are for each person in this sea of humanity, so when God's message (the spirit of truth and life) is poured out on YOU, YOU began to come to TRUTH and become a faithful wife, TRUTH in you, instead a wife of another, LIES and DECEPTION in you.
THE WAY (Christ is truth, life, and the way) of the KINGS (Christ is King of Kings) is prepared ....and when Christ has FINISHED HIS WORK IN YOU, there will be:
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth (a faithful wife; baptised in truth and life) ...and there was no more sea ....peoples, nations, tongues: WHORES; Christ WORDS have OVERCOME lies and deception.
God Bless YOU!
"Apply not The Word of God like the salve of salvation, but the Armor of Righteousness.
For salve's treat wound's and Armor prevents them."
I've seen too many "believers" treat their belief like a religious first aid kit, applying it only as needed for their life's issues. If they only knew how to dawn their armor.
