God works in mysterious ways; I am glad that in the case of Arthur the Lord had this institution as His will to care for him.
Prayer of course accompanies action; in this other case as I am aware attending an addict recovery group in support of the leader (set up for various issues) as well as previous experience that only God can ultimately give a permanent solution. This setting has helped me deal with past issues as well. Many times it is instantaneous; but whatever happens I pray that He will continue to give you wisdom and am happy others can support you at this site.

Dear KJV family: I seem to have returning issues of things which originally caused my appendicitis a couple years ago. Of course without my appendix I may not have immediate emergency issues. There seems to be the same sort of clouded appearance at times let's just say in using the facilities that is a sort of tell tale sign; that doesn't always appear but has affected me with some crampiness in the last day or two (which could be due to fighting something going around or in conjunction with it).
What is clear to me is that something deep within is causing this issue as much of the time things have been somewhat normal (although I have IBS).
It is more complicated than it would seem in terms of diagnosis; I have an appointment at a highly recommended place specializing in these issues in November; that was the soonest I could schedule it which was back when I last saw my General doctor in August. I finally (after the third attempt) received the stool test in the mail but may have botched it up due to the sample size; and haven't heard anything yet. I did have colonoscopy in about the year 2016 and everything was good-it was a couple years before that when I was sick for about a month that this problem first developed.
The other thing is that of course the heavy dose of antibiotics in the hospital did clear up things for a time; but of course you have diminshing returns with that sort of thing. I am attempting some natural remedies (oregano; a lot of tea and some other stuff that may help).
I am somewhat less uncomfortable today compared to last night and am still able to use the bathroom (it isn't blocked like it was when I had the appendicitus). I am praying that I am better for this coming week; next weekend I am planning to go up for a couple days to NY to get some insulation with a friend of mine helping in a primitive cabin I bought this past summer.

that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat."
Here we are recalling the goodness of God in 2.9. "And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food." Every tree including the tree of life and the knowledge of the good and evil. The Spirit gave us from the POV of God, the Father. What did change then? Here Eve is viewing the fruit from the POV of the serpent or darkness. The moment she did eat and gave some of it to Adam to do likewise she was doing the bidding of the serpent. Faith fled and knowledge kicked in.
Out went faith and came in the knowledge that she sinned. It is for this reason we have the Spirit remind us of the blessings enshrined in the Covenant . All things in heaven including the trees, "the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good." was assured under the day Three, "And the evening and the morning were the third day" Adam and Eve were blessed in the Son. Blessings with regards to trees wherever mentioned in the Scripture is within the frame of reference to 1.12 and in his Son. So this verse Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,"refers to the tree of righteousness.(Ps.1.1,3)
Eve here walked the length of the garden under the counsel of the serpent. But without faith her postion in the garden was untenable.
God walking 'in the cool of the day' (3.8) or evening must be seen in the proper context. God celebrated the beginning of things, so we have the Spirit repeating 'And evening and morning were....'God presided over the Holy communion of God and man in a figurative sense. This we evoke here on earth,"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."(Mt.18.20) What shall you call megachurches? Your guess is as good as mine.
So good to hear from you. I was praying for Arthur just last night and hoping to hear from you. God is good, right!
I am also thankful that he is now in foster care and getting round the clock attention he needs. I thank God that his wounds have healed.
I am also glad that you now can visit him without having to work so hard to care for him. May you be blessed in your time with him and at home with yourself and the Lord.
How is you other son doing? What is his name?
The best thing is that Arthur is turning to the Lord. May your other son do so also.
Please keep in touch.
"and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Now we come where the devil has set the trap. Knowing good and evil is not with your understanding which false brethren here has spilled each sect according to its pet shibboleths. Seven dispensensations are they entities by themselves? knowing good and evil without being connected to truth eternal is similar to the idea of church. Jesus was clear that church without holding on to the head was like dead branches. " If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."( Jn 15.6) Mind you, the wording, 'If a man abides not in me'. As with Adam and Eve they were to hold where their full blown glory came from. They were naked by themselves but gods when their faith was in God whose breath of life was their lifeline. Serpent set the context for them to be enlightened on the subject. In following the line of reasoning what they did was to hitch themselves to another gospel.
Adam and Eve had two worlds to negotiate: the garden framed by the word of God and world of the spirit, the glory of their covering created 'after our likeness' He was the son of God ( Lk 3.38) and also as a double for the Son, " in the likeness of God made he him." Similarly the everlasting covenant sets a believer walk the world of the Spirit and world of the church of the firstborn which is in heaven. "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,' (Heb.12.22)Faith means we are congregants while we walk by faith among the unbelievers. When we are called home our faith suffers no injury but worship with glorified spiritual body. Seven angels to the seven churches gives us the key: " He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; " faith of believers is all that matters. Names found in Asia Minor are mere labels.

v.1 " Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
Presenting the first begotten to the angels was as though war declared on darkness. Adam clothed in glory shall come across the devil who sins from the beginning. One flesh and one bone made Adam an extension of the Father Son relationship transposed into human terms. As Jesus in his humanity would say, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." (Mt.8.20) Jesus was not ashamed of his poverty who was rich in his access to his Father. Similarly "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.(2.25). Jesus of whom John testifies,"And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man."( Jn 2.25) Equally vital was that he was aware that his glory as was in the bosom of his Father was in His safekeeping. From the colloquy that follows here warns us the danger of forgetting what we are really. Our conversation among Tom Dick and Harry cannot be avoided but we are not of them. "For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."(Heb.13.14)
The drift of the serpent was ominous. "Ye shall not surely die:For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods" (3.4-5) Had Eve a clear understanding what the serpent said was a lie it would have been another story, Creating a context with darkness is a slippery slope to perdition. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. We do not see the same where darkness was upon the face of the deep. Hence the warning, "And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" 2 Cor.6.15) Bh of imposter churches seem to have license to trivialise and they call it activism.
You have to bellieve the Word of God is for our spiritual instruction in righteousness, His holiness is eternal to which we may never fathom than what is revealed by the Holy Spirit. Your understanding is as my understanding which by itself is not sound as you may think. If you let your dogs out as you stroll in a park, the dog is not discovering any new unbeaten track but they are prisoners to their own physiology. They seek out smells of other dogs and it is how their world is made up of. Similarly one speaks of understanding which can trip some one as a vinyl record that has developed a scratch. It is thus sects cannot come out of their error. Our understanding has to be hitched in meekness and faith. to the Holy Spirit to profit withal.
I write in this forum to prove the Bible is inerrant and so far it has helped me that my faith founded on solid rock. If I use some principles it is because a clear cut pattern and modus operandi. Thus when the Spirit gives us the dep slep of Adam it is also referring to the death of the Son in a far country. Thus there are kangaroo events built in events. Such repeated narrative modes are meant to be accept that God invested in the His Fellowship with Man. So Adam is earthy and last Adam is spiritual. I find the mind of God is knowable as long as truth is what you work with. Some may cite gnosticism or hyper spiritualizing etc., I am not looking into the history of nations but simply the life eternal. The BH with which the false teachers put names on the beast and interpretations during the Cold War with regards to Gog and Magog, are too well known. This is how BH has encouraged quacks to trivialise the word of God.
About water baptism.
Lets start with a very well known verse, Mark 16:16, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.". I think just this verse is a very clear answer.
In Matthew 28:19 Jesus asks His apostles to baptize new believers. Now suppose you were a new believer living at that age. And an apostle or your pastor asked you to be baptized. God asked him to baptize new believers so he asked you to be baptized. And suppose you answer him back that you don't want to do it because you feel it is not necessary. So God wants you to be baptized and you don't want to be baptized.
Lets go back to John the Baptist.
Was John's baptism from men or from God, Jesus asked the Pharisees. They pretended they didn't know. John in 1:33 records John the Baptist saying , "And I knew him not: but HE THAT SENT ME TO BAPTIZE WITH WATER, the same said unto me, ..."
What John's baptism stant for? Luke 3:3, "And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;"
So it was not a ritual that John thought of to establish or something he did because the Jews were doing it in the past, but it was a new thing, a God's direct command to him.
But you may say that that was another baptism than the christian baptism. Yes this is true. But what I want to make you think is how it seems to you when God asks you to do something and you saying back to Him "Oh well God, I will not do it, it is not necessary". Does this sound logical to your ears?
So I tried not to answer directlly to what you asked, but tried to show you how bad it is for one to deny what God wants them to do and go around trying to make His command sound unnecessary, so actually cancelling it.
Jesus said to the Pharisses, "But the Pharisees and lawyers REJECTED THE COUNSEL OF GOD AGAINST THEMSELVES, being not baptized of him.". Well lets not do the same with the christian baptism, rejecting God's Wiill for us.
GBU
v.21 "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;"
Deep sleep refers to the death of his Son. The term 'deep' is same as a far country.in the Parable. The certain householder "And went into a far country:"(Mt.21.33) The entire episode of Adam is set in heavenly places and the far country refers to the world, "And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness."( 1 Jn 5.19)
v.22 "And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man." The rib is the doctrine of God and when the Word became flesh it is the gospel unto salvation. Thus where does Eve stand? She is in a world framed by the word of God. Here faith is the only lingua franca. The world is a far country but we live in heavenly places by faith. We walk among the ungodly " For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come." (Heb.13.14)
" v.23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."Adam names the woman. Notice 'therefore' and his claim is similar to the blood of Christ with which he purchased us unto his own. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (v.24)
One flesh refers to the work of the Spirit. " Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace./There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;/One Lord, one faith, one baptism,/One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."(Eph.4.3-6)
"Miracles cease to be within His omnipotence." should be read as,"Miracles cease to be mitacles but dall within His omnipotence."
Since you asked some serious questions let me try to answer as best as I can:
It is disgust that one can miss the core value of the Scripture and with your own understanding build up another doctrine and another gospel. Even Paul was afraid that he may fall into error and present it in another form. This is God document and you have to receive it as given. Faith in believing unto righteousness, Holiness of God is not in presenting his Will for the sake of human reason but with the grace given, you work your way throgh Yes this eternal disgust is with regards to what is at the end of the road. As in thedays of Noah.(Mt.24.38)
"Does it matter whether God refers to seven days as a week, or whether the Sabbath or Sunday, the Lord's Day, or even Christmas? "
It matters indeed if one misses the everlasting Covenant presented in seven days Gen.ch.1, so the laws of nature and of Moses are all pendent to it. Miracles cease to be within His omnipotence. Entering into God's rest at the day Seven begins from the moment you receive. It is indeed well and good to have an enquiring mind but you say ' does not teach nor satisfy at all; it only speaks of what you believe.' Whether it adds the question with a proper examination of God's Word on those matters.."is for you to determine. I can only give my understanding you have to bring your own. Here in my posts I provide passages to explain. Whether your enquiring mind is,- it it stuck in some repeating groove in the good old LP records is your problem.I leave the rest for you to figure it out yourself. I do not write this in a vaccum so I work with the spirit of Caleb, Give me the mountain! I believe it is easy because it is Christ who is really carrying it, and I write. Disfust is all mine, and I am also a man of likewise passions.
Psalms 112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

Does it matter whether God refers to seven days as a week, or whether the Sabbath or Sunday, the Lord's Day, or even Christmas? It matters in every respect if one is to correctly read, understand and teach from the Scriptures. Yes indeed as you wrote, to the one in Christ every day is lived unto the Lord and in celebration & memory of His Birth and Death. But to give only that as a response to an enquiring mind, does not teach nor satisfy at all; it only speaks of what you believe and adds nothing to answer the question with a proper examination of God's Word on those matters.
But you say that such an interpretation is not done "by the lamp of the Spirit". By what criteria is that assertion made? Because a belief or exegesis is different to yours and your 'hermeneutics', therefore it must be quackerish? I guess the 'proof is in the pudding', when what one presents to another or to a group, is understood, accepted, and appreciated by them.
After all, if "the lamp of the Spirit" is aflame with Light & Truth, surely the hearer must be filled with that light, given knowledge and conviction, and not left bereft and in darkness. Or else that blessed Lamp only brightens and encourages one's own heart and soul & does little else. That's probably all I need to say in response to your comment and would leave this unless you want to continue. Blessings.
Jesus spoke to His disciples to baptize in the Name of the Godhead, whereas Peter, in Jesus' Name only. This might trouble some as to which is correct and current for today, though I see no problem with it. Even if someone baptized in the Name of the Holy Spirit only, should that matter, since all Persons of the Godhead are One, thus represented? Yet, this could be a problem to some.
And I agree, that "Baptism today can only serve as a public declaration", but I could add that it is both an outward and inward expression of faith and commitment. Your quote reveals the outward testimony; and 1 Peter 3:21 speaks about our inward testimony, "the answer of a good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ". Unlike the Jewish baptism (external washings of grime; as also performed by Muslims), the believers' baptism answers to a sure testimony inwardly, of an act and a time of turning from self and the world to cleave only to the Savior. And this assurance will be important when the enemy of our souls seeks to question the worth of our salvation & throw some into confusion and doubt. Every blessing brother.
Thank you for your reply. I found your comments very interesting and encouraging. I, too, do not believe that baptism is necessary for salvation under this present dispensation of grace. However, I do believe it was necessary for salvation under the dispensation in which Jesus, Peter, James and the rest of the disciples operated under.
My original question, which I'd like to restate here, is about the two baptisms that are spoken of in Scripture-one given by Jesus, and the other by Peter. One formula was in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, while the other was in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. My question is: are those two baptisms the same, and if so, in what way? Or are they different, and if so, how? That really was the focus of my question, but I do sincerely appreciate your comments and perspective.
I think you and I agree that baptism itself is a work and cannot be added to the finished work of Christ on the cross. Salvation is by grace through faith alone. Baptism today can only serve as a public declaration, if you will, that one is a Christian-nothing more, nothing less.
As far as the location of baptism-whether in a church building or in a public forum-I don't believe that has any bearing. Personally, before the Lord led me into the understanding of rightly dividing the Word of Truth, I was baptized as a young child in a church setting, and later again as an adult in a public lake. In my view, the location itself does not affect the meaning of baptism.
Thank you again for taking the time to respond, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
G&P
"5... Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God."
The above verse is taken from Psalm 40. But if we read Psalm 40, it says,
"6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,"
We see that the verse in Psalms is not the exactly the same as the one in Hebrews. In Hebrews it says "but a body hast thou prepared " whereas in Psalms it says " mine ears hast thou opened"
Why is this?
Because Paul records the verse from the Septuagint ( psalm 39 in Sept.), not the Masoretic text.
GBU all.
One bone one flesh sums up the Law of the Spirit. This passage encapsulates the mystery of the marriage of the Lamb. For this reason the Spirit set the garden in the east signifying the day of Regeneration shall be in the heavenly places as the Ark of Noah landed not in the new earth cleared of the deadwood that was the old world. Similarly this physical world is already condemned. The coming of the Son shall be in mid-air. " and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."(Mt.24.27,31).
v.22 "Made he a woman, and brought her unto the man." The same parallels in "new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."(Rev.21.2). The preparation of the bride of Christ was in heaven. " There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after."(Eccl.1.11)
Consider the flesh was taken from the body of Adam; neither the bone which was from the man. There was nothing new, pointing to the day of regeneration came from the body prepared as a bride, adorned for the glorified Christ. Jesus foretold of the day. "Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."(Mt.19.28) 'Receive ye the Holy Ghost' was symbolic of the breath of life from his Father so their authority mentioned in Jn.20.23 makes sense.
Creation of Eve was in the day Gen.5.1;1;1. Will of the Father gives the rib (one) to serve as one faith on which the bride shall be formed.
v.24. "and they shall be one flesh." This oneness is all new so Eve has her own life as Sarah has. Sister-spouse conundrum is where the Word was God has breath of life within so Eve taken out the Man. "Male and female created he them'. So the world framed by the word is above.
This is a very relevant question of the era. God's anointment simply means God's Call. If you have accepted Christ as your savior, it shows that God had known you even before you were born and had arranged everything for your physical and spiritual growth. In other words, you have been anointed by God, with a divine purpose: that is, to share Eternal Life with Him! If He has called you, and if you have accepted the call, He will empower you to serve him and bring others too to Christ.
Aim at bringing your spouse to Christ. It is not so easy as it seems. To preach gospel is easy; but to love your wife / husband as Christ loved you may be something difficult to perform ( Ephesians 5:25). One can act a few rounds, but you cannot hold on long, without experiencing Christ's love and anointing yourselves, first! It requires extreme patience, long suffering and much humiliation ( 1Peter 3:7). You are called to be a 'living sacrifice' acceptable to God ( Romans 12:1). Then you may be able to bring your children to Him. God anoints us to be good husband, good wife, good mother, good father and good children.
May God empower you to undertake this glorious call.
Jeremiah prophesied about Jesus (not by Name of course) in Jerermiah 23:5,6; and this prophecy is still future when Jesus returns to Earth and sits on the 'Throne of David'.
Jeremiah also speaks about a New Covenant ( Jeremiah 31:31-34). Although Jesus brought in a New Covenant in His Blood, which we are the blessed recipients of, Israel by-and-large have rejected it to this day. But this is the final Covenant, for no greater can be made other than through God's Son's Sacrifice. But the day will come when the fulfilment of this Covenant will be realized when all Jewry will acknowledge the Giver of this Covenant & be transformed in the inner man.
Jeremiah 11:19-21; Jeremiah 20:7-18. The prophet suffered very much physically. Even as Isaiah spoke of Jesus being "brought as a lamb to the slaughter" ( Isaiah 53:7), Jeremiah voices the same grief unto himself ( Jeremiah 11:19).
Jesus seems to quote Jeremiah in His castigation of the temple merchants ( Matthew 21:12,13; cf Jeremiah 7:9-11).
So, a few examples that I could think of that hopefully addresses your question. Blessings.
" and closed up the flesh instead thereof"
This simple gesture evokes the ark for the body of Christ, with the presence of Christ therein. It is built to size as Adam is created 'after our image and after our likeness'. Notice the breath of life in this verse,"wherein is the breath of life./And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him." Here the Word as sound and sign crated by Wiil expressed is in the breath implied, "And the Lord shut him in".(7.15-16).
Similarly when the risen Jesus breathes on the disciples assembled there, 'Receive ye the Holy Ghost' it meant more than the promise of the breath of life; As my Father 'hath sent me, even so send I you." Principle of Association in Mt.10.40;Lk.10.16) but. also the same authority of the Son to remit the sin of another is transferred. " Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."( Jn 20.21-23) Church of Rome base the supremacy of St Peter by a faulty reading. Simon Peter represented all his disciples built on Christ the spiritual rock; similarly St Thomas who was absent is included.
Kingdom of God is a closed system. When Cain refers his case, "And from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth." He is referring to the outer darkness. The same valley where all the wicked, fugitives from the law end up as dry bones in Ezek.37. The Holy Spirit names the land of Nod. "And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden."(4.16)
By closing the ark, it is a validation that the world shall no more be destroyed by water. "My kingdom is not of this world." declared Jesus. Yet Bh of quacks do not want to be with Christ where he is but 'among the fleshpots of Egypt' as it were. Bah!
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
"Open valley suggests those who "And ye shall know that I am the Lord" "And my servant David shall be their prince for ever."(37. 13,25)"
Please read as
"Open valley suggests those who "And ye shall know that I am the Lord" and receive a new Spirit and live and those who are intended for the outer darkness for who king David shall serve as "And my servant David shall be their prince for ever."(37. 13,25). Forever is a tag to indicate the authority of the prince is from Jesus Christ.
" And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
God is the God of the living so God identifies Adam as the 'express image of his person' causing him to sleep.
Why a deep sleep? The sleep identifies by his Son whose death on the cross has the emblem in the divine Will as 'the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.' (Rev.13.8) Deep merely refers to what occurs in another world which framed by the word of God.We shall consider another example from his Son." My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence."( Jn 18.36) Jesus is in the now meaning he is the word become flesh. This world is the natral world where laws of nature do apply and the darkness surrounding the people (the Jews) shall not comprehend the true light he represents.One argument recently heard was,'Christian nationalism purports to be God's instrument for the installation of Christ's Kingdom & His Holy requirements,' the churches so far were applying doctrines of man on the wrong world.' Jesus would not let the disbelieving throng when he healed the daughter of Jairus. "Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth./And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out,"( Mk 5.39-40)
Waking out of his sleep we see faith so understands the will concerning the woman came from Him. The Word transference works well with faith.
Significance of the rib has bearing on the open valley in the vision of Ezekiel. ch.37 The dry bones belonged to the slain from the nation of Israel and they become an exceeding great army. Open valley suggests those who "And ye shall know that I am the Lord" "And my servant David shall be their prince for ever."(37. 13,25)
