I wanted to post this in the science forum, but don't seem to be able to. I am trying to find the scripture that tells us that a day is a literal 24 hours or a natural day like we are familiar with. Personally, I believe a "day" in Genesis is a spiritual day of unknown natural length, but am...

HI Faithful one. I think we are seeing the same things. Doesn't it look like something dramatic occurred between verse 1 and 2 of Genesis?

I was just writing another reply to someone and realized something. Possibly huge... The first day or "Day 1" of creation may not have actually occured until Genesis 1:5. There were TWO things that were needed for the first day to occur and they did not happen until verse 5. They were...

This is all very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I would like to learn more about Biblical Hebrew and am doing some self-study. Here is something you may be able to help me understand. How two words that look exactly the same can mean two different things from God (who is outside of time...

Sorry, maybe I forgot what our actual conversation was about. If there are too many points, I sometimes jump all over and then chase down a rabbit trail. Can God bypass man completely and teach us through his Spirit directly? What does God say about setting up man as our teacher? But do not...

I like what you said... that God humbled Paul greatly before he could use him. Otherwise, wouldn't Paul think it was his qualifications that caused either the outcome or God to use him. This verse comes to mind: But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of...

Those are all valid points and I greatly appreciate you taking the time to share them. I agree that he has appointed "teachers", "prophets", "apostles" and others. My question is... Who exactly are these people? Are they the ones who are highly esteemed because they have degrees, letters...

Thank you Jocor for sharing this. I will look into it and see what I hear. May I share something I believe he has shown me about putting the "order" of things together with God? One of the most powerful things I am beginning to see is how God works outside of all (separation of) space and...

I understand your point. However, I can't help but think.... Is there any human man who is qualified, scholar or not, to look at the words that God gave us and tell us exactly what "God meant"? Isn't that putting a LOT OF POWER in the hands of a human? Also, if we believe and follow what the...

Chopper. That is one amazing post. Thank you for sharing that. My heart says "Yes! and Amen". I have stumbled upon that little nuance myself regarding Gal 2:20. It is faith "IN" Christ. It is the faith that we have from him because our being is actually inside of him. See Romans 8:1...

Those are good points. I am finding at least 5-6 words in the original Hebrew language that are translated rather generically as "man" in English. But, isn't God much more precise than that? I believe he is 100% precise and when he uses an even slightly different word (barring any verbs), he...

If I provided answers, would you believe them? I was hoping to stir up a discussion on the ideas and possible truths presented.

I think I stumbled upon something very unique about the word "God" in Genesis 1:1. I just posted what I found in my blog. Have you noticed this? edited reba per 2.1: This is a Christian site, therefore, any attempt to put down Christianity (or declare that it is false) and the basic tenets of...

Ok, I don't know where to post this. I apologize if this is the wrong place. I am sure someone will "fix". :) I am comparing original Hebrew words God gave us (or as close as we can find) in an effort to go deeper with God. I want to know if my ideas and thoughts in the below post have any...

(please read from this one down) Willie, you are correct about what you said in my post the other day at http://christianforums.net/Fellowship/index.php?posts/1001793/.

Thank you for responding. Obviously, I was angry that day. I was fed up with the darkness that is suppressing the truth found in the very Word of God. I do believe the most are searching for Jesus. However, I believe our definition of who Jesus really is needs to be expanded. He's much bigger...

I was blowing off steam the other day at the mindset that we need to stay with "the standard set of doctrine" that has been handed down to us for centuries. Today, I see this could have been handled differently, but I still stand on the ideas I expressed. If we follow traditions instead of...

I don't know about you, but I want to know him and see him as BIG as possible. I want as much of him as he will reveal to me and won't allow anyone else to limit me by their unbelief. I can tell you when a person is TRULY open to that idea, HE WILL reveal more of himself to them.

However, HIS beauty will SET THEM ON FIRE INSIDE and cause them to speak boldly about him to everyone else. This will cause them to be greatly persecuted by those who are happy with the God they know. That is where I am at my friend. God has been revealing things in scripture that basically...

(sorry, gonna break down into small pieces with last first) I believe this is "the returning of the son of man in the sky or heavens". This "sky" is our own spirit-man inside our own minds/heart. It is real truth that is "appearing" even NOW and not man-made religion of the "tares". God bless...
