Animal Dominion

What did God say?  Core Verses Gen 1:26-28 The phrase "let them have dominion" is taken from the book of Genesis in the Bible. In Genesis 1:26, God says, "Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.'"  This verse is often interpreted as God granting humans authority and stewardship over the Earth and its creatures. It signifies that humans have been given the responsibility to care for and manage the natural world, acting as God's representatives on Earth. This dominion should be understood in the context of responsible and compassionate stewardship, rather than exploitation or abuse. We are to manage Earth's resources and it highlights the importance of wise and responsible stewardship. This would include animal population control, service animals to assust...

Answers about The Law*

Under Construction Short Answer: The Law is more than the 613 and more than just the 10C. It includes not only anything in the OT, but also includes for all unsaved people the Universal Law. Scripture tells us God has put it in all humans hearts and conscience as part of our design. And that we know instinctively right from wrong because of it. God also revealed in Scripture that people hide from the truth and suppress the truth, and seer their conscience so they sin and commit worse sins [in thought word and deed all their lives].  1. So theres the universal Law revealed in OT & NT.  2. The Mosaic Law for Israelites only And both of those overlap, such as dont lie, dont murder.  3. Then there's the Law of Christ for Christians; the law of liberty.  Laws were always about righteousness, the perfect righteous holiness of God and that we all fall far from that perfect standard - because of the fall and our now sin nature.  If we walk in Christ we walk in r...

Why Christians Do Not Follow Everything in the Bible

Why dont Christians follow everything the Bible says? First, the reason there is confusion on this because the unsaved [spirirually blind] cannot understand the Scriptures as the born again do, [see with spiritual eyes; by the Holy Spirit].  Here are a few verses about spiritual blindness: 2 Corinthians 4:4 - "The god of this age [Satan] has blinded the minds of unbelievers , so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." John 9:39-41 - Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see...  [given Spiritual sight] Isaiah 6:9-10 - [people can be] ever hearing, but never understanding; ever seeing, but never perceiving. [Spiritual blindness] Proverbs 4:18-19 - The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. John 12:39-40 - For this reason they c...

Paul 12 & on Junia

Were there more than 12 Apostles? Jesus had the 12 walking with him. Paul was clearly noted after, 👉no one else in Scripture was called one, 👉nor were any women. Paul and Matthias While it is true that Jesus only had 12 apostles during his ministry on Earth, the term "apostle" can also refer to someone who is sent out on a mission or with a message. In this broader sense, the term can apply to Paul. The apostle Paul, who was originally known as Saul, had a dramatic conversion experience on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-19). He became a devoted follower of Jesus and spent the rest of his life preaching and teaching about Jesus to both Jews and Gentiles. In his letters, Paul claimed to be an apostle, and he was recognized as such by the early Christian communities. For example, in his letter to the Galatians, Paul wrote: "Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead" (Galatians 1:1). P...

sad news 📰

What happens to those who died Today sad tragedy in the news again. Another one of the 160,000 who die every day has passed into eternity. 😥 It is really sad when people die. If it wasnt for the fall in Eden we would never die, but even though we do, the good news is God has eternal bodies planned for humans to live eternally... And for those Heavenbound 👉 theyll enter a new Heaven and New Earth, an eternal existence where sin can never enter again. There will be no more sadness, suffering, disease, pain or corruption. Only righteousness, goodness, joy and love.  Hugs and prayers to you and the family, friends, associates and others around you/the loss. May you seek comfort in the arms of Christ.  If you are reading this, my prayerful hope for you is that you will go to Heaven. But there is only one way to get there; God has told us it is through Jesus, the biblical Jesus, by means of obeying the Gospel.  Jesus said:  * Repent & believe * you must be born agai...

Sabbath Keepers

Q: Show me where Scripture says we are free from worship on Sabbath (Saturday)? "Even looking at Acts 13:42 42  So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.  Why if worship were not on the sabbath why did the gentiles not ask to be taught the next day? Rather, they asked to be taught the following sabbath…. gentiles were asking to be taught on the sabbath and not Sunday." A: sure would be happy to: There are many variations of “sabbath keepers”. Today, we have Seventh Day Adventists, Hebrew Roots, Worldwide Church of God, and more. They are following false teaching. It is nothing new. This goes all the way back to New Testament times.  The book of Galatians was written against them.  I am going to answer the questions as if you are actually seeking to be educated, because that is my hope.  There are times Scripture doesnt say "why" for something--  You cant make a doctrine out ...

7th day Church Fathers

Besides the Scriptures noted in the previous link you can look at  Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Colossians 2:16-17, and Revelation 1:10 that there is evidence for a historic switch to Sunday gathering in the Scripture. Additional evidence from the Church fathers to back up the point that a Sunday gathering isn't just something that became recognized after the declaration from the imperial church of Rome, is below:  The Didache “But every Lord’s day . . . gather yourselves together and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one that is at variance with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned” (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]). The Letter of Barnabas “We keep the eighth day [Sunday] with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead” (Letter of Barnabas 15:6–8 [A.D. 74]). ​​​​​​​ Ignatius of Antioch​​​​​​​ “[T]hose who were br...

7thday Jesus

Is Jesus the created Archangel or is he eternally always God (the Word) the 2nd member of the Trinity?  The SDA church like the Jehovah Witnesses teach error about Jesus as an Angel. SDA teaches that Michael the Archangel in the Old Testament was not a created being, and interprets the appearance of Michael the Archangel as the pre-incarnate Christ.  SDA teaches blasphemous and false information about who Jesus is.  Angels are created beings God made to serve him (and by his direct assignment go serve specific humans who will be saved). Jesus is of the triune eternal God who is not a created being. Jesus is not nor ever was an angel.  About Jesus  About the Trinity  <<<Return to prev page

7th day false salvation

Salvation issues At first glance, The 7th day Adventist organization appears to lack clarity regarding the means of salvation. Neither their Statement of Faith nor the Declaration of Principles contains an un-ambiguous statement of “justification by faith alone,” but when you look at the below, you find SDA holds on to some mixture of faith and works and a lot of error about salvation, it preaches a false gospel. (1) SDA falsely teach that a person’s ultimate salvation will be determined by the outcome of the Investigative Judgment.   This doctrine was never taught before in the history of the church.  A   teaching that beginning on October 22, 1844: Investigative Judgment of all believer’s lives.  During this judgment, Adventists teach, believer’s names come up before God.  If a believer has sinned that sin is marked down by a recording angel in heaven.  That sin goes against the believer in the judgment.  If a believer confesses that sin, “pardo...

7day Jesus Dates

What does Scripture say about Christ's Return, dates? While Scripture does teach us to expect the return of Christ at any time, setting dates and making specific predictions is unbiblical God tells us  During Jesus human life he put limitations on his deity ("emptying himself"), but he and gained back what he put aside after his ascension. While on earth Jesus said to his disciples of His return:  "But of that day and hour no one knows , not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Matthew 24:36 No human knows nor will know. He will come when all least expect it.   William Miller, a preacher falsely predicted that Jesus Christ would return by certian dates.   Anyone who claims to be a prophet and what they claim doesnt come true, they are to be stoned to death according to Scripture.  Was Ellen White a false prophet ? Knowing the facts, therefore, both Miller and Ellen G. White should've been stoned to death as false prophets an...

7thday Asleep

Are people asleep until the Resurrection ?  Scriptures teach that, for the believer, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" Philippians 1:23.   Jesus spoke of conscious Abraham,  a poor Lazarus in Paradise, and the Rich man in Hell. He even named them.  Luke 16:19-31 Now Jesus was also saying to the disciples...  19 “Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.     But a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,   and desiring to be fed with the  crumbs  which were falling from the rich man’s table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores.    Now it happened that the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom, and the rich man also died and was buried.   And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his b...

How can God become our Savior

How can a God come to earth and become our Savior ? The Bible (God's Written Word) tells us that God chose to, before the world began, make salvation available to humans who would fall, [wherein he did not make salvation available to the fallen angels]. God knew humans, he was going to make, would sin, [that Satan would decieve them] and that sin, evil and corruption would enter the World.  Because God is Holy, Righteous, Perfect and Just, He must punish all sin. The fallen angels would be going to an eternal place called the Lake of Fire, and the unsaved humans would go there as well. God decided that He would save those who would be Redeemed, and wrote their names in the Lambs Book of Life.  God then Promised humans in Eden that He would send the Savior to forgive mankind of their sins. He continued to reveal the coming Messiah, and eventually through Israel foretold more. And fortold the virgin birth. Why? Because the Savior would not come thru the sin stained seed of man, ...

Netherlands no belief in a god

Q: 54% of my country of the Netherlands does not believe in any god. Including me. But I think let people believe what they want, as long as people dont force their believe on me "im all good".  Live and let live.  A: i suppose thats a way to go if you dont care about people. I mean, how much would i have to hate someone to not warn them of the wrath to come when I know how they can escape it? Penn Gillette (the famous atheist) said that to a Christian because he felt if it is that important then the believer must go tell people. He was right. And it is what Jesus said to do & what Christians believe about lovingly telling others the great news .  And if you embrace it, you will "be all good to go" when you step into eternity. But also have a relationship with God on earth. 😊 Note: Despite being one of the most secular of nations in the world, Dutch culture is still very much shaped by Christianity. You have no idea how many ietsists —(thode who have “faith wi...

Questions about Satan 📍

Answers about Satan  Within these links are several related answers  About Satan About The Fall of Satan and 1/3 the angels  Satan's strategy  Why doesnt God kill Satan   Can people sell their soul to Satan

Why Satan...

Q: If Heaven is Perfect how could Satan and 1/3 of the angels become corrupt? A: God is perfect, and things he creates are perfect, but with freewill created beings have choices, and chose to rebel.  The current Heaven is God's dwelling place. He created it for the time of Time and mankind. Heaven didnt exist before God created it. He created angels to serve Him and mankind under God's direction.  They were eternal spiritual beings with some level of free will. Some of those created ones got prideful and thought they could take the Creators place. It shows they had a lack of understanding of things as well. Just as the ones in Heaven today are perplexed and curious about human "Salvation" as Scripture explains. Angels are eternal spirits in eternal bodies.  Humans were made from dirt and were physical beings who have a soul and spiritual connection to God reestablished afyer salvation. So when they sinned, death entered their existence, and God blocked the way to the ...
