"And from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."
Parting of the river into four heads in the parlance of the Spirit is with four directions. In the abstract we came across how God separated the waters above the firmament from waters below.(1:7) Like the sun shining upon the unrighteous and the just alike holiness of God which is perfect makes no distinction with water of life and in four heads what the Spirit signifies is the word of God is for all. "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters," It is sent forth to all. "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" (Ez.33:11) His mercy is at his terms. By refusing truth and refusing to obey his Will no amount Jesus talk shall save foolish shepherds.
North south, east and west have different significance than how we view on the earth. The sun of righteousness does not have to rise on the east as we refer to it in our everyday world. Since the matter directions have been covered we shall attend to v.15
"And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." His stewardship was with regards to his world where he was to discharge his tasks in obedience to His will. Recalling the Isaiah quote the spiritual space of each believer is intended as a place of Rest for God. " Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you."(Is.55:3)
I will pray for your Mom.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for causing the pain to depart from Stephanie's tooth. We come to You again to ask You to cause Stephanie's Mom's knee pain to depart also. Bring healing to her knee and guide her in what she should do to rehabilitate her knee . We ask this of You Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
"And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed."
No one has located where Eden is actually but it is no matter. Fellowship of God with Man has an address for which the Spirit has only supplied the Garden as a reference point. The Son represents for us the Man component in the Fellowship so he is assigned Eden as the word of God says, 'The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool."(Is.66:1). Treat it as the kingdom of the dear Son and it explains where our blessings come from.
"And a river went out of Eden to water the garden." This river is associated with Jesus Christ which is how the Spirit has added details to the blessedness of the children of God. In the colloquy with the Samaritan woman he makes clear,"but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." It is provided by the grace of Jesus Christ. In the preceding verse he makes a distinction of the water issuing from his domain to the world of the Sprit, the garden and the water at the Jacob's well. " Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again." ( John 4:13-14) The world of the Samaritan woman may have as with the rural life revolved around the village well but receiving Jesus Christ as the Messiah changed her life forever. Her thirst that was never by sated by water she daily drank from is evident, "The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."(v.15)
The Spirit instructs us that Adam's world was special because God had planted the garden in his Son for Adam and Eve. Everything pertaining to life and godliness was on the house to want some useless advise from the serpent.
The truth of the matter is the river beginning at this point shall continue to the last chapter unbroken. (Re.22:1) This pure water of the river of life also serves as the river of time about which the entire God document is fleshed out.
I also ask for prayer that my mom's knee pain goes away completely, and she won't have to use her knee brace. Thank you again, and may God bless you!
The KJB says in ( Col 1:14) "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins".
The KJB says we have redemption ((THROUGH HIS BLOOD)) Wouldn't that be a TRUE statement?
The Nasb says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". The Nasb removes the words (through his blood).
The Niv says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". The Niv removes the words (through his blood).
The Esv says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". The Esv removes the words (through his blood).
The Nlt says "who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins". The Nlt removes the words (through his blood).
The Gnt says "by whom we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven". The Gnt removes the words (through his blood).
Should I go on? I really could!
Who would put their trust in a bible that removes the blood of Jesus Christ from this verse?
This is the 3rd post that is without a doubt Biblical proof that modern version bibles are corrupt, and not Inspired by God!
The KJB has again proven itself to be the Inspired Word of God!
( Luke 22:20) Jesus says "Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you".
The word (blood) is #129; it means (the atoning blood of Christ) by implying bloodshed.
Would someone with good intentions remove those words in all those modern version bibles?
Or do you think those bibles are what we are warned about in ( Jer 23:36) and ( 2 Tim 4:3-4)? And maybe even ( 1 Tim 4:1)?
Anybody want to answer those questions?
Truth matters!
The KJB says in ( Jn 7:8) "Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come".
(Jesus say "I go not up YET"
The Nasb says "I am not going up to this feast"...
The Niv says "You go to the festival, I am not going up to this festival"...
The Nlt says "You go on. I'm not going to the festival"...
The Esv says "You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast"...
The Gnt says "You go on to the festival. I am not going to this festival"...
The Csb says "Go up to the festival yourselves. I'm not going up to this festival"...
All these modern version bibles are saying Jesus is a liar.
In verse 10 they say this!
The Nasb says "But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, He Himself also went up"...
The Niv says "However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also"...
The Nlt says "But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went"...
The Esv says "But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up"...
The Gnt says "After his brothers had gone to the festival, Jesus also went"...
The Csb says "After his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up"...
Is Jesus a liar? That IS Blasphemy!!
All these modern version bibles are saying Jesus Christ was a liar!!!
The KJB is the only Bible where Jesus said "I go not up yet", NOT UP YET. And then He went, Jesus was NOT A LIAR!
All the other bibles said "I am not going" Then He went! That would make Him a liar!
How could anyone possibly trust a bible that claims Jesus was a liar??
Anybody want to answer that question?
All modern version bibles are corrupt!!
The KJB says in ( Luke 2:33) "And Joseph and his mother marvelled at the things which were spoken of him".
The Nasb says "And his father and his mother were amazed at the things which were being said about him".
The Niv says "The child's father and mother marvelled at what was said about him".
The Esv says "And his father and his mother marvelled at wat was said"...
The Nlt says "Jesus' parents were amazed at what was beng said"...
The Csb says "His father and mother were amazed"...
The Gnt says "The child's father and mother were amazed"...
All these modern version bibles claim that Joseph was the father of Jesus.
Was Joseph the father of Jesus?
That could be considered Blasphemy! Who would trust such a bible as these?
The KJB is the Inspired Word of God!
modern version bibles are NOT Inspired by God?
Psalms 18:32
Perfect:
without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely ity, sound, without spot, undefiled,
From tamam; entire (literally, figuratively or morally); also (as noun) integrity, truth -- without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely (-ity), sound, without spot, undefiled, upright(-ly),
what is this to those who continue in sin for life, but regarding iniquity in their hearts, & turn from the Grace of God, Rom 8:2 their prayers are not heard Proverbs 28:9 God is not near them & why? They call not upon Him in Truth, & reject the motions of His Spirit to intercede through them, with sighing & groans that cannot be uttered.
Oh, if they would only open the hearts to the Light of the Truth that shines in their heart, "enlighening their darkness" the blessings & goodness that God has instore for them,
I am so sorry that you are having such troubles in your thoughts and sleep. Have you talked with your doctor about this? There could be some disfunction going on in your brain in a physical way.
Also, have you spoken to your pastor and/or elders to pray for you? I would suggest this.
I am happy to pray for you.
Dear Heavenly Father, today, in the name of Jesus, we ask that You will heal Ronald in the areas of unwelcome thoughts that are hindering him and also multiple sleep problems that are bothering him, robbing him of sleep and leaving him feeling attacked and unsettled. Father, remove whatever is bringing these things to Ronald, for you are stronger than any illness, disorder, power or principality that can cause these things. You are sovereign over all of these things and we believe that You will help Ronald and bring to Him soundness of mind, purity of thoughts, and restful sleep. Bring Him dreams that honor You and promote spiritual growth. Engage Ronald in healthy thinking and prayer with You as His guide and teacher. Demolish all the wiles of the enemy and bring Ronald peace today and every night and day hereafter. Amen.
Ronald keep us posted on how you are doing. We will continue to pray for you.
I agree that we are not competing here. I hope I did not give that impression. I was jesting when I said "Tag-you're it."
It is more like Iron sharpening iron here. We are building one another up in knowledge for what God has revealed about Himself in Scripture. That is wonderful. It would be good to take a few days rest on this. We all need time to digest what is presented in the posts on this forum and take a serious and prayerful look at what people say.
This line of posting is very exciting for me because I love speaking and listening about Who God is in truth, not what we make Him to be in our minds. Scripture reveals His character and we can know that what He says about Himself is true and does not change. We can depend and trust Him because He is faithful to Himself.
I hope your new job works out well for you. Let us know how it goes. Also, how are you feeling since your illness? Have you your strength back? I will continue to pray for your wellness and that you find this new job a good fit for you at this time in your life.
Just reading your posts, I am enjoying them, it is unveiling the truth. I will reply later on them I just want to go over them with prayer and more study. I love what you are posting much can be learned with an open heart.
God bless,
RLW
I have been struggling for quite a while with this inner dialogue, that seems not my own and tries to override my own logic even when confronting myself with discernment and truth. I'm also being tormented daily in my sleep wether it being manipulated dreams, visions, night mares or sleep paralysis, although I pray every day for protection against it. I could be doing something wrong in prayer. Also I am healing very slow in comparison to some years ago, while I didn't take any of those mRNA vaccines, it seems my health isn't improving much. All in all I am still grateful for what our Heavenly Father gave me, but I feel like my prayers are not being answered and need some help, while I am heading towards a pivot point in my life, where sometimes I feel I could be losing the battle. If you have time, please ask our Heavenly Father to purify me from all unclean spirits and protect me from any future attacks, so that I can start the work (again) that our God the Father has set out for me to do.
Thank you in advance dear people, may our Heavenly Father bless you with his grace, Amen!
With kind regards,

"Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen (relatives), and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me."
Ah, so there were people, Paul's relatives that were in Christ before him and certainly prayed for his salvation. And God answered.
Have a blessed day or night.
"And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust."
Firstly instead of "gentiles" the grk says "nations" (grk ethne). And instead of "trust" it says "hope" (grk elpiousin).
Which is that reign? A literal reign of Jesus with Israel, as some believe? Or as it seems that it talks about a spiritual kingdom where the other nations really put their hope on Him (for salvation).
And it goes on in verse 13, thus giving a certainty about which is that kingdom.
"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."
"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."
"For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living."
How could Christ be Lord of the dead if the soul is not alive but dies together with the flesh?
Compare the above with Luke 20:38,
"For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him."
So really there is not any dead man since their soul is living "unto Him".
"1. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2.Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation."
The grk "exousia" is more properly translated as "authority", than power (gkr kratos or dymamis)
So Paul asks christians to obey the authorities, in other words the Law of their land.
The above verse has been used in the past by all kind of rulers (kings, dictators, conquerors, ...even churches like the R/C church) who were trying to establish their authority on people using the belief of a God offered authority, The phrase "by the grace of God, king" relied on those verses and was invented to show to people the "divine right of rulers/kings". But when the Bible talks about " the powers that be are ordained of God", it means the characteristics that God put in people to make organized societies with hierarcy and subjected to rules. Not that God placed some people of His own will to rule others. The latter is true in democratic societies (since God respects our free choise) but not in dictatorships or conquerors or any other forced rule.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
Cain offered a sacrifice to God. But it wasn't acceptable unto God. Why not? Because God gave specific instructions on how a sacrifice should be offered, Similarly nowadays (think about the word "holy").
Why don't you at least put down your f and g ideas first as a posting; or post ALL the aforementioned ideas. Seems as though I was wrong you have the speed AND the detail at a pace that seems to outmatch me in both aspects. Cudos to you; although it is isn't a competition I suppose...
I guess people may look at these comments anyway. First problem I have is there is so much overlap and sometimes in a particular verse. Would be fun in a way for the children to get some long statement with all the letters to stimulate minds.
Such works with the saying "Almighty beauty caring "divine essence" of "Father God" who is "holy and invisible; jealous and kind" or something to that affect. Maybe a song..
At the end of the day it is God's everlasting character which goes beyond or circumstances; the length of our lives from and to all eternity which is our foundation. We as puny man are given an opportunity to represent Him as He shapes and molds us through sanctification to ultimate glorification. I am thinking glorification as an interesting theme both for how Christ was glorified after suffering and then us as "first fruits". I'll give you a day or two to collect your thoughts and maybe finish Zechariah 13 and 14 or post something else in the meanwhile. Starting work Tuesday so likely will slow down posts next week.
I know some read and rarely comment; it doesn't seem there is a huge audience at any rate. I had thought of how answered prayers could be coordinated as it seems rather sparce with one or two serious requests a day and no clear evidence some are answered that at least are coherent or make sense. There seems to be a lack of answered prayers and that may be a category the site should explore or a subject to post about.
Agape; bye for now; Rich P
"Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off."
".. because they compassions fail not; They are new every morning: Great is Thy faithfulness." So, so thankful!
For "G" I think that God is GOOD:
Only God is truly good, without any lack of goodness, nor does He have any evil in Him. He is perfectly, eternally good. There is no one truly good beside Him as Jesus said in Mark 10:18.
Romans 3:12 says that there is no one who does good, all of us have sinned and fall short of the good that is who God is. His goodness is the mark that we fall short of.
In Genesis 1 we see that all that God created was good. It was truly good, but not perfected as He is perfect. Satan and mankind were able to sin, but God had this in mind when He made the Everlasting Covenant within the Godhead before creation. His aim in creating was to perfect a people for Himself in eternity for all eternity so that, with the angels, we will forever do His will, love one another, worship God in the way He deserves, and sing of His goodness forever.
2Chr. 7:3 says that God is good; His love endures forever. How comforting it is to know that God will never do to us what is wrong! see Ps. 119:68-the Lord is good and all that He does is good. Ps. 145:9 says that the LORD is good to ALL!
Ps. 100:5 attests that the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures through ALL generations.
So knowing that God is truly Good all the time, we, who have been made sons and daughter of God by the Holy Spirit through the work of His Son, ought to seek what is good and hate what is evil. We should avoid company that would lead us into sin, situations that will tempt us to do evil. We should live as one who has been set free of the slavery of our sinful nature and live for God, being slaves to righteousness. We cannot earn our way to God with good deeds, but we are to live as He wants us to, and that is to do what is good and righteous, godly and God-honoring. We should despise our sins and flee evil, resisting Satan.
For "F" I think of God's FAITHFULNESS
He is forever faithful. Deut. 7:9 says He is the faithful God. Psalm 33:4 says that He is faithful in all He does. And Ps. 89:24 says that His love is faithful. Ps. 145:13 says that the LORD is faithful to all of His promises.
1 Cor. 1:9 says that God is faithful (see also 1 Cor. 10:13. 1 Thess. 5:24 and 2 Thess. 3:3 firms that God is faithful and will keep us and establish us in our life in Christ. Even if we are unfaithful to God, He remains faithful because He cannot deny Himself-
2 Tim. 2:13
1 Peter 4:19 says we can commit our self to our Faithful Creator when we suffer. And 1 Jn. 1:9 says God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. And gloriously in Rev. 19:11 Jesus is called Faithful and True.
So we can depend on God's faithfulness because it is true and trustworthy. It never fails and is never withdrawn or disappears. Nor does it this faithfulness ever deceive us as being unfaithful when He says He is faithful because God cannot be what He is not. Ps. 36:5 and 57:10 say His faithfulness reaches to the skies. It is immeasurably reliable.
Ps. 89:8 says:
"O LORD God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds You." It is part of His glory that comes from His essence. Ps. 117:2 says His faithfulness endures forever.
Is. 25 :1 says
"O LORD, Thou art my God; I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name; for Thou hast done wonderful things; Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth." God's faithfulness and truth cannot be separated, they are aspects of His Essence which is not divided up into separate attributes; all His attributes are unified in His One Essential Nature.
Is. 42:3 says that in His faithfulness He will bring forth justice. So true justice comes from His faithfulness to Who He is.
I love Lamentations 3:21-23:
"This I recall to my mind., therefore I have hope. It is of the LORD's mercy that we are not consumed,
(see next post)
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my GOD will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my GOD have I leaped over a wall.
30 As for GOD, his way is perfect: the Word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him.
31 For who is GOD save the Lord? or who is a rock save our GOD?
32 It is GOD that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
Praise our GOD
