Alexander - "If", when you express doubt about the witness of scripture regarding God's creation of Adam

Mishael

Word Trinity doesn't exist in Bible it was coined by Paul after many years of Jesus departure ... Jesus himself says our God is one lord means he affirmed he is on monethism

Genesis 1:17 KJV

(17) And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

God sets His 2 greatest commandments in the firmament of Heaven.in our opened, expanded hearing (HEAR, O Israel..) of the Spirit that comes from there. We are to do what He has set/established in the kingdom of God so that others see His Light shine in the darkness of this earth.

Mark 12:28-31 KJV

(28) And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

(29) And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

(30) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

(31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Thou are not far from the kingdom of God...

Mark 12:34 KJV

(34) And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

When we do His commandments, we shall shine as the stars giving His Light upon this dark earth.

Daniel 12:3 KJV

(3) And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

The nations shall come to His light/glory that they see arising upon us...

Isaiah 60:1-3 KJV

(1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

(2) For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

(3) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

The 4th day is about the government of God upon us.the kingdom/reign of God. We are to fear God who is One and keep His commandments.

God made 2 great lights.

God set the 2 lights in the firmament (the opened hearing ear) of Heaven. Hear, O Israel.

The greater light is the first and greatest commandment to rule the children of the Day who are to love God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength.

The second, lesser light is like the first. to love our neighbor as ourselves. When we have love for one another, all people in this dark world shall know we are His disciples ( John 13:35). We shall shine as the stars in the darkness of this world. We are to love even our enemies who hate us. In doing so, there is rule over those who are of the night in the darkness of their minds as we let God avenge us ( Romans 12:19) .

Mark 12:29-31 KJV

(29) And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

(30) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

(31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

He made the stars also.as we shall shine as lights/luminaries in the darkness of this world in the doing of His 2 greatest commandments. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.

Philippians 2:14-16 KJV

(14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

(15) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Holding forth the Word/Saying of Life: that God is Light.

(16) Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

to be continued...

Mark 12:25

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but ARE AS the angels which are in heaven.

There's no dating in heaven.

Matthew 22:41-46 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.

( Mark 12:36) For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

The Godhead set forth:

David himself said by the Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost, member of the Godhead)

LORD, is God the Father (member of the Godhead)

said unto my Lord, is Jesus Christ, David's Lord. (member of the Godhead)

So, God the Father said unto David's Lord Jesus Christ, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

This would have been the first time these Sanhedrins would have heard of God being present as 3 separate personages.



Now they were beholding God speaking in His Son, Jesus Christ.

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are One God but three separate personages.

John 3:16 might be what you have in mind.

Mark 12:30-31 - Are the greatest 2 commandments in case you mean that.

The people who beat up some messengers and killed some, are the religious leaders, not being true worshippers of God. The son who is killed at the end of the line of messengers is the Messiah. The owner of the Vineyard is God.

The next portion which seems hard to understand to me is about marriage. In the resurrection, there will be no formality or arrangements to marriage. Even in some cases. there are people alive now who are in unequally yoked marriages. At that time, the believer will be able to have the person who was truly created for him/her. I know mine, and I'm not with her.

The commandments of God are comprehensive and far reaching; in a few words they unfold the whole duty of man. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength..Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Mark 12:30, 31. In these words the length and breadth, the depth and height, of the law of God is comprehended; for Paul declares, Love is the fulfilling of the law" Romans 13:10. The only definition we find in the Bible for sin is that "sin is the transgression of the law 1 John 3:4. The Word of God declares, "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Revelation 6:9-11
Mark 12:18
Mark 12:24-27
Luke 16:20-31
Hebrews 12:1
These are the scriptures I found hopefully it's helpful

There is a book called Christ Object Lessons, It is a free read..This book explains the parables in the Bible and helps a person to understand what Jesus meant when telling them. May God bless as you study..

I did not understand this chapter very well,thanks,sincerely,Stuart

Giving ten percent to God was an Old Testament requirement by the Children of Israel. Read Mark 12:41-44. The Widow gave everything that she had to live off of - two small copper coins. Jesus informed his Disciples that she gave to the treasury more than the Wealthy did.

1-11 describes 2019; by Jehovah /GOD in 2019 we are entrusted /invested with 'life' by GOD and HE expects a return on HIS investment in us; so we declared and exercised rights that trumps GOD's plan for our daily life and SALVATION; so GOD blesses us with many days of life yet reserve HIS rights to demand a good return from us; soon GOD shall open the books showing how we managed HIS JESUS.

verse 43 above: And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. ( a little = a lot / math through the eyes of Jehovah / GOD )

Cheryl: All through Scripture Angels are referred to in The Masculine Gender. The Angels that talk to Lot are Called Men.They are always Called by Masculine Names. -when they rise from the dead they neither Marry nor are given in Marriage but are as the Angels which are in Heaven: Mark 12:25 / Zechariah 5:9 Two Women have Wings like a Stork. Two Female Angels? Found nowhere else in Scripture.

The end of verse 30 brings out that we should love Jehovah God with our whole strength. We should evaluate what we are spending our time and energy on.

In Matthew 23rd chapter, Jesus begins by issuing a warning to the crowd, or to the common people, regarding the pharisees and the other religious leaders. This was clearly an indication of Jesus's final rejection of the religious leadership's influence and security on the people,[ref. Mark 12:38 also Luke 20:45-47]. Moses's seat indicates most high authority. Be watchful of falsities and wolves.

A person claims the book of Ecclesiasticus does not line up with remainder of bible because " This book claims that giving alms justifies a man. We know that only JESUS CHRIST justifies!" Now the Words of God will not be fully understood if its not read in the Spirit of God. The justification in the giving of alms lies in the heart of man. Mark 12: 43,44. Proverbs 3: 5,9. Proverbs 14: 30.

This was such a beautiful chapter especially the parables that Jesus gave of the husbandman I felt like he was truly describing his sacrifice for us.

Oh, you elect. Who told you that you were not subject to the temptations, as was your Lord, Jesus the Christ. He was a sent one. He understood that to be human one must humble himself. He knew the Father and did not rise up against him as this froward generation has. They have perverted the word taking snipits and justifying their apostasy. They will not hear the truth for it is too hard

When God brought Israel out from the bondage of Egypt, He made a Covenant with them to be their God, and that they should be His people. Not only for themselves, but for the benefit of all the world, God separated Israel unto Himself, and gave them the Charge of His holy Oracles. Since they refused until there was no remedy, God now sends for His Elect from the Nations without them.

Emmanuel God with us = John 3:16 God sent his Son, he is still with Israel. This is where people mess up thinking God literally with us in the flesh, when it is an interpretation, an interpretation of events. Mark 12:1-11 The vine yard owner sent his Son and not himself as God became nothing in the flesh he sent his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh. Romans 8:3.

The Jews' "religion" is not of God! They are the descendant of those who slew the Heir, and seized control of God's vineyard for themselves; ( Matthew 21:38; Mark 12:7; Luke 20:14). They are Israel's Rulers which CAUSE THEM TO ERR; for they themselves do not enter the kingdom of God, and they forbid and hinder everyone who does. They do not submit to God, are contrary to all, and do not please Him!

All have fallen short but God's grace and mercy through His son's willful obedience has saved us. We are asked only to believe doubting nothing. There is too much focus on the darkness these days. Light dispels the darkness. We need His word more than ever. His word is light and will cut through the lie of this world.

David:A place under the press to catch The Juice from The Grapes,They still have them over yonder. You may even see them at Flea or Farmers markets,pressing apples. The juice is all natural and unpasteurized.

Mark 12:1 says winefat, should be winevat?

Jesus confirmed that He has come to fulfil the law with His response about the greatest of the laws- loving God with all our hearts and also loving our neighbours. God is a God of love.
