Asked by Wiki User

Genesis 1:27,31 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

How do you simply teach the bible?

Matthew 7:7,8 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

Everyone who genuinely desires an in-depth understanding of the Bible can become effective in teaching God's Word. Two elements are required: a desire for knowledge of the truth and enthusiasm to share it with others.

Acts 8:30,31,35 "And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus."

As the believers in The Bible did, we also grow together as God’s family. We accomplish this by seeking out Bible fellowships where we can benefit from the counsel and teaching of more seasoned believers.

I Thessalonians 1:5,6 "For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. And ye became followers [imitators] of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:"

As we develop Word-centered thinking for Word-centered living, our enthusiasm is to teach God's Word to those who hunger and evidence His power in our lives.

Is there day and night in heaven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In Revelation 7:15, the text describes those who have emerged from the great tribulation as being in the presence of God, serving Him continuously in His temple. This passage raises a philosophical question about the nature of time in a metaphysical realm such as heaven. The reference to 'day and night' should not be interpreted through our conventional understanding of time, which is a human conceptualization based on the cyclical patterns of celestial bodies and atomic changes. Rather, in this context, 'day and night' symbolize an uninterrupted, eternal service to God. It implies a state of existence beyond physical time, untethered from the temporal constraints of the material universe.

This interpretation aligns with the notion that God transcends time, existing in a realm where temporal measurements lose their meaning. Consequently, those who are in God's presence, as mentioned in Revelation 7:15, are also envisioned to exist in this timeless state. This idea is further reinforced in Revelation 22:5, which negates the necessity of any physical light sources like lamps or the sun in God's presence, emphasizing the perpetual and eternal nature of this existence. Here, 'eternity' is not just an unending duration but a different quality of existence, one that is fundamentally outside the bounds of earthly temporal experience. Thus, in the divine presence, the traditional dichotomy of day and night dissolves, reflecting a realm where time, as we understand it, ceases to hold sway.

Does the Bible say how old Shem Ham and Japheth were when they died?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bible says 600 Shem and tradition 536 Ham dying 65 years before Shem. Shem's 600 is not a round number because it is Venus 600 or 365-day corrected less 30 days. Same with his 502 after Flood is two seasonal 251-year rotating pentacles of Venus Shem-Ramis. Noah died at 949 = 600 at Flood before new year 350; dying Mesor 15 the 6th month before Pamenoth new year. Nimrod died at 499 on Mekir 15 just 21 days before new year 600 accrediting him as age 500. All resurrection symbols rising Mars, rising Venus, Sothis, Christ Mass occurs after his death.

Who was true worshiper in bible?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In his conversation with the woman at the well, Jesus Christ prophesied of a time when the true worshippers would worship God by the spirit.

John 4:23 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him."

On the day of Pentecost, the fulfillment of this prophecy became a reality. This truth was later evident in a letter from Paul to the Corinthian believers. They understood it had become possible for worshippers to pray in the spirit, and that this was by speaking in tongues.

I Corinthians 14:15,18 "What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:"

When we become born again of God’s spirit, we are filled with the power of the holy spirit. Besides praying with our understanding, we can pray in the spirit, thus worshiping the true God by the spirit, as Jesus Christ had prophesied.

Is painting your finger nails a sin in the Bible?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I've never seen anything that constitutes direct condemnation of this activity in the Bible. However, in general, we are to avoid vanity and things of the world.

My young daughter wanted to paint her nails recently and my wife allowed it. When she showed me, I had a warning feeling in my Spirit. Understand this was the Holy Spirit and not my own feelings, as I personally didn't object to it. I told my wife about it.

Later that day, our daughter was obsessing over how she wants to "do" her hair! We don't know where this behavior came from, but it is very contrary to our family priorities. We had a talk with her about how nails, and hair, and fashion and such is all vanity and not an area of focus for one walking in the Spirit of Christ. Then we prayed.

She understood and has been back to her normal self ever since. Many people don't understand how active the spiritual realm is, but these little cracks are how behaviors start that can balloon into flat out "fashionista diva" attitudes later on.

It might not be the same for everyone. If you are someone who couldn't care less about nails and hair and fashion and such, then painting your nails might be no big deal (a "take it or leave it" activity). Just like a former alcoholic needs to be careful around drinks and a former sports fanatic needs to be careful about sports idolatry, someone who is prone to lots of primping and selfies and stylish clothes and such needs to guard themselves from the sin of vanity. Have a blessed day!

What does ayah asher ayah mean from the bible?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ayah Asher Ayah (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh) has usually been translated "I am that I am," but the literal Hebrew meaning is "I will be what I will be." It is related to the name Yahweh, from the tetragrammaton, YHWH, which literally means "He will be," and the name Yesu, which means Yahweh the Saviour, can be literally translated "His Existence." Thus Yesu Christ is seen to be "His Existence," the incarnation and manifestation of YHWH, who said AYAH ASHER AYAH, "I will be what I will be."

What are the houses at Canaan made of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, people rarely lived in permanent structures which were not part of a city, which could be defended. That said houses (living quarters) would have been assembled from rock or large bricks or both. Roofing and floors being made of wooden structure. Those herding cattle were mobile therefore they lived in tents. Houses in cities were not a crude as people might think. People at that time had perfected many building techniques. Examples from ruins indicate flooring tile was elaborate.

Many assume simply because these folks lived thousands of years prior to our current society, they were not as intelligent, but studies find that notion to be completely untrue.
