    Prayers for deliverance and protection

    maybe actually do some research on deliverance services in your area? I've dealt with some demons before so from my experience, there might be something going on with you internally causing a way for you to be attacked. It could be your heritage and something more generational that comes from...

    Chinese Crackdown on Christianity

    I am actually trying to direct this towards non-christians. But have you heard of what's been going on in China? They are able to track every move you make and identify people with these new cameras, just by the way you walk if it can't see your face. You can use your face to get authentication...

    Meditation question.

    Biblical meditation is probably different to what you are keen to defining meditation as, the kind of meditation you are talking about is what I consider my quiet time of gently focusing on the presence of God. Jesus is God incarnate and simultaneously the Prince of peace so God is peace so when...

    Should i seek for a soulmate or wait for it?

    If you put yourself out there enough by going to events, concerts, seminars, the gym, network around, be a people person, better yourself - it might be easier to run into that special someone. My wife and I are high school sweethearts. I would have never known she had a huge crush on me since...

    Why so few? It is such a sad reality.

    It's not like you can save them. God already did enough at the cross. Just do the most you can with what you have. Don't worry about the rest. That's for them to decide. You just focus on your eternal security and let them worry about theirs. I'm not saying do nothing, but the love for God and...

    2 people in heaven question

    Sorry I'm being difficult. No I don't ponder those things. I have my sights set on being with Him. That alone has been enough for me to chew on for years now.

    I do not claim to know what awaits us in the afterlife other than the presence of God. Food is not eternal. God is. Songs have a beginning and end. God does not. Jesus may have prophesied a future event but will I need to continue eating in the afterlife to survive? Will I need continuous harp...

    2 people in heaven question

    I don't know for certain what awaits us in the afterlife other than the presence of God. And I don't much care to meet anyone there other than God. If it's possible to though, there would be nothing to worry about because of the presence of God and the perfect fellowship therein. Some people...

    So my best friend is a meth head, and I thought I could trust him alone with my wife for a couple hours until her best friend arrived at our home. Well, they drove out to the grocery store after I left to pick up some stuff to cook with for the 3 of them. While they were there, he snuck off and...

    Did Jesus Keep the Letter of the Law, the Spirit of the Law or both?

    From my understanding of scripture, Jesus obeyed the law fully both in spirit and in body. However, I find it fascinating to wonder whether or not Jesus performed any animal sacrifices when He Himself was the perfect lamb that would be sacrificed near the end of His physical ministry. I would...

    Shouldn't the first 3 verses of Genesis 2 really be at the end of Genesis 1?

    Honestly I just want to interpret the bible correctly. That's why I made this thread. You haven't done anything but make this whole process of learning what I asked for help with in the OP anything but less difficult. Did I say there was a contradiction in the bible? No. Did I confess to you...

    Shouldn't the first 3 verses of Genesis 2 really be at the end of Genesis 1?

    You know, there are plenty of people I would be glad read their bibles at all, let alone study it daily or even go to church every once in a while..

    Shouldn't the first 3 verses of Genesis 2 really be at the end of Genesis 1?

    Oh. According to the guy above me I am solely at fault for not interpreting the bible correctly. It's obvious because I am asking such a question as an unscholared man in an online forum requesting aid to understand from his brethren around the world in love and peace.

    The 'Invisible church' bugs me.

    The church. The ekklesia. The called out ones. For many are called but few are chosen. 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

    Shouldn't the first 3 verses of Genesis 2 really be at the end of Genesis 1?

    Well you see the problem I'm having and the reason for starting this thread is the fact that in chapter 2 man is formed from the dust after day 7 when clearly man was made on day 6 in chapter 1.

    Shouldn't the first 3 verses of Genesis 2 really be at the end of Genesis 1?

    That's what I'm saying, it's almost like God wrote chapter 1, Adam wrote chapter 2, his son wrote chapter 3, so on and so forth until the first 5 books were completely copied down. And again, how did the enslaved Hebrews in Exodus even know who the God of Abraham was? Word of mouth? A written...
