Psalm 27 4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.

NKJ Genesis 4:1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have acquired a man from the LORD." Stick with what the bible says my friend and it will keep you in sound doctrine Shalom

2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light afflictions, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

Yes, in His Omnipotence God can do anything He pleases. Regarding His Omniscience, the salient point here is that God knows about our sins and makes provision accordingly. Psa 69:5 O God, You know my foolishness; And my sins are not hidden from You. Pro 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good. Joh 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 1Pe 1:17-21 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; (18) knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, (19) but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. (20) He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you (21) who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

You seem to have made up your mind that partaking of the Tree of Life is a one of snack rather than a continuous regular feeding. I believe the latter. The discussion of Rev 22.2 is about the leaves of the tree of life being for the healing (Gr. therapeia) of the nations, symbolising the eternal state of ongoing relief from memories of former Gentile alienation from God. Strongs G2322 θεραπεία therapeia ther-ap-i'-ah From G2323; attendance (specifically medical, that is, cure); figuratively and collectively domestics: - healing, household. Total KJV occurrences: 4

The word for remember there is Ezkor (root word Zakor) meaning" Bring to my rememberance" this does not mean God doesn't know our sins, He just has filed them away and will not bring them up again...because they are forgiven Psalm 139:2-3 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.

14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:14

Psalm 107:20 He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.

We can read about the tree of life along the River of Life in Heaven. Rev 222 On either side of the river stood a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. It looks like "tree" is plural if they are on both sides of the river. I almost get a picture of 12 different trees with 12 different fruit. There is a guy who grafted 40 different fruit trees into one tree. Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.

Psalm 91:14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

Isaiah 50:5 The Lord God has opened my ear; and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away.

"I'll get lots of flak from my opinion here" Isn't that what you are after? Why else would you post what you did?

All life comes from God, you know the one who creates and gives life, the one who breathes the breath of life into each person. No fruit of the womb comes from Satan. There is nowhere in God's word that even remotely or comes close to that disgraceful abominable doctrine that has been presented. You need Book, Chapter and Verse. You need to put up or.....!!! Shalom

Psalm 37:8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath; do not fret-it only causes harm.

1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 1 Peter 5:8-9

Acts 4 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24

There is only one race, my friend. God created Man in His image.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1 Peter 3:15

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.

Proverbs 21:21 He who follows righteousness and mercy finds life, righteousness and honor.

What is the Great White Throne Judgment? The great white throne judgment is described in Revelation 20:11-15 and is the final judgment prior to the lost being cast into the lake of fire. We know from Revelation 20:7-15 that this judgment will take place after the millennium and after Satan is thrown into the lake of fire where the beast and the false prophet are (Revelation 19:19-20; 20:7-10). The books that are opened (Revelation 20:12) contain records of everyone’s deeds, whether they are good or evil, because God knows everything that has ever been said, done, or even thought, and He will reward or punish each one accordingly (Psalm 28:4; 62:12; Romans 2:6; Revelation 2:23; 18:6; 22:12). Also at this time, another book is opened, called the “book of life” (Revelation 20:12). It is this book that determines whether a person will inherit eternal life with God or receive everlasting punishment in the lake of fire. Although Christians are held accountable for their actions, they are forgiven in Christ and their names were written in the “book of life from the creation of the world” (Revelation 17:8). We also know from Scripture that it is at this judgment when the dead will be “judged according to what they had done” (Revelation 20:12) and that “anyone’s name” that is not “found written in the book of life” will be “thrown into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:15). The fact that there is going to be a final judgment for all men, both believers and unbelievers, is clearly confirmed in many passages of Scripture. Every person will one day stand before Christ and be judged for his or her deeds. While it is very clear that the great white throne judgment is the final judgment, Christians disagree on how it relates to the other judgments mentioned in the Bible, specifically, who will be judged at the great white throne judgment. Some Christians believe that the Scriptures reveal three different judgments to come. The first is the judgment of the sheep and the goats or a judgment of the nations (Matthew 25:31-36). This takes place after the tribulation period but prior to the millennium; its purpose is to determine who will enter the millennial kingdom. The second is a judgment of believers’ works, often referred to as the “judgment seat [bema] of Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:10). At this judgment, Christians will receive degrees of reward for their works or service to God. The third is the great white throne judgment at the end of the millennium (Revelation 20:11-15). This is the judgment of unbelievers in which they are judged according to their works and sentenced to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire. Other Christians believe that all three of these judgments speak of the same final judgment, not of three separate judgments. In other words, the great white throne judgment in Revelation 20:11-15 will be the time that believers and unbelievers alike are judged. Those whose names are found in the book of life will be judged for their deeds in order to determine the rewards they will receive or lose. Those whose names are not in the book of life will be judged according to their deeds to determine the degree of punishment they will receive in the lake of fire. Those who hold this view believe that Matthew 25:31-46 is another description of what takes place at the great white throne judgment. They point to the fact that the result of this judgment is the same as what is seen after the great white throne judgment in Revelation 20:11-15. The sheep (believers) enter into eternal life, while the goats (unbelievers) are cast into “eternal punishment” (Matthew 25:46). Whichever view one holds of the great white throne judgment, it is important to never lose sight of the facts concerning the coming judgment(s). First, Jesus Christ will be the judge, all unbelievers will be judged by Christ, and they will be punished according to the works they have done. The Bible is very clear that unbelievers are storing up wrath against themselves (Romans 2:5) and that God will “give to each person according to what he has done” (Romans 2:6). Believers will also be judged by Christ, but since Christ’s righteousness has been imputed to us and our names are written in the book of life, we will be rewarded, but not punished, according to our deeds. Romans 14:10-12 says that we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ and that each one of us will give an account to God.https://www.gotquestions.org/great-white-throne-judgment.html

Whatever your need, God can meet it. Can you believe it? If you can, He can. Shalom Mark 9:[23] Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

How is your marriage? • Pro 19:13 -> “A foolish son is ruin to his father, and a wife's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.”. This idea is repeated in other places (Pro 21:9; Pro 21:19; Pro 25:24; Pro 27:15). Certainly, Solomon was great disturbed by his women. So much so that he said: • Ecc 7:27,28 -> “Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things — which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.”. He couldn’t be elated with any of his women. This should be a great reason for nobody thinking in betray his/her spouse. The happiness isn’t in the marriage, let alone in the adultery and polygamy, but in Christ. The marriage is the instrument of the Creator to generate a piety offspring (Mal 2:15). That is to say, the purpose of the marriage is to exercise the mercy and grace of Jesus. So, instead of quarreling with your spouse, have a good day exercising the forgiveness in the life of each other. Can you be sure that the person that is in your home is the right person for you (there is no other). Remember that the Creator made only one Eve to one Adam.

The thing that throws many people off, is the 'land of cush". The people were originally in northern Mesopotamia but later came down near Egypt... https://bibleatlas.org/cush.htm

Yes, it was symbolic of Jesus, and I would say Adam and Eve were partaking of it till they sinned, thus they began to die. Then they were sent out of the Garden and Cherebims with flaming swords placed at the entrance to keep them out. Here on earth today, by accepting Christ we partake of the tree of life through His Holy Word (Holy Bible), through His Holy Spirit and by accepting Him as our Lord and Savior (i.e. saved). All spiritual food while we are here on earth. Just as when Jesus said He is the bread of life (spiritual food) and we see the saints again having the right to the tree of life (spiritual food from Christ, the bread of life), in heaven.... Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. - 1 Corinthians 15:52-54 (KJV) The word used in verse 52 is incorruptible, not imperishable as you indicated in your post. First, either upon Christ's return or when we die in the flesh, our flesh body is changed into a spiritual body. Second, some of us (Elect/Saints) will be granted eternal life/immortality at Christ's return (The First Resurrection), while others will have to wait until after the 1000 year Millennium when, at the GWTJ, they will either be granted eternal life/immortality (The Second Resurrection) or eternal death (second death) (along with Satan) in The Lake of Fire. Now notice the next verse. It shifts the focus from bodies to souls… So what 1 Corinthians 15:54 is saying is that when (#1) this corruptible (body) has put on incorruption, and (#2) this mortal (soul) has put on immortality, then the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory,” will come to pass. in His GRACE, Selah

Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years were complete. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him for a thousand years. "The first resurrection is of the ones who held the testimony of the world of God and Jesus and were killed for it, they reign with Christ. These are the only dead resurrected at this point. The the rest of the dead, those not resurrected to reign with Christ, wait till the 1000 years ends. According to Paul and Jesus the 1st resurrection is one of righteousness to reign with Christ. The nations are not all wiped out according to Zech 14. The righteous reign with Jesus over the nations for 1000 years till the resurrection of death.

Still says 'souls'. That's the personality, not a body. I'm not saying the robes aren't meant to be worn, they are, but it's a priori and that can lead to sort of seeing blindness. The souls are told to wait till a time in the future. They are 'given' robes which is a promise as didomi isn't the wearing of the robe, it's a offer. Maybe like set on a table, "Here's your robe when the time comes." In any case it's souls under the altar which is the personality, not physical bodies.

It's also a doctrine of Shepherd's Chapel. https://carm.org/shepherds-chapel/the-serpent-seed-and-the-kenites/

Also known as the "serpent seed" doctrine of the Christian Identity cult and others who share much in common with it. Certain schismatic groups of the Aryan Brotherhood also espouse this heresy (those who aren't "Odinists," that is). It's common in those circles.

Yes we do. I am very aware of the POWER we are given through the Holy Spirit and understand that AS Christians we rule and reign in our own lives right now but have you tried to do that in someone elses lately? They are having none of it. So we do as much as we can right now in our own, but this life doesn't even bear a resemblance to what is coming in the Lords Day. WE will be going through the birth of a NEW TIME. Our existence will be completely different. The UNSEEN heavenly world will become the seen world. The 'elements' will have been burned up. All will be in spiritual bodies. If you think we are ruling and reigning over the whole earth right now you are in for a really BIG and PLEASANT surprise. There is almost nothing of this world that is of God. "YEA though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death". Make no mistake where we are living. There aren't going to be any evil shenanigans' going in the dark when Christ returns. I took the long way, I learned the words of God THE WAY THE WORDS OF GOD TOLD ME TO LEARN THEM. When you submit yourself to doing it HIS WAY and let HIM lead, His plan is laid out as HE wants it to be. It settles in your psyche as HE dictates. How can anyone who hasn't done that stand a chance against anyone God has given His truth to His way? There is no coming against His truth. Everything else fails. I went from a life with home husband job friends pets toys to all alone on a mountain with the words of God for a couple of years. Morning to night like a junkie. Weeks would go by and then my phone would ring and I would wonder why do people keep calling me all the time, why won't they just leave me alone for a minute. They really just wanted to be sure I wasn't dead and to feed me. Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. Isaiah 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. Psalm 119:97 O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Psalm 119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. Psalm 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. Psalm 119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. Psalm 119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. Psalm 119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. Psalm 119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. Psalm 119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. Psalm 119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. Psalm 119:109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. Psalm 119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. How long have you been at this? Teach, preach or just plain love it with all that you are? I know its one of them....

After the garden notice you never hear of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil again. The tree in Revelation I believe to be the same tree in the garden the tree of life. Shalom

Also look at the Hebrew words amar and dabar which is the way one of the Greek words logos was used for the Hebrew word. Hebrew 1st Greek second. All this needs to be understood from the Hebraic mindset and language, you know the ones that wrote the Bible and the culture the Bible was written in over a period of over 1,000 yrs Shalom

The whole of humanity outside of the blood of Yeshua is enslaved in sin. Those that have found redemption and forgiveness by the Passover Lamb sacrifice of Yeshua are still slaves. They are supposed to be slave/servants of God. Your life is not your own you have been bought with a price. Everyone is a slave/servant, the question is to who? Nothing to do with race colour or creed. Shalom

The tree of life can be both literal and symbolic for Yeshua. Shalom

Please post the scriptures for me. I'm pretty busy and don't have time to try and find all the scriptures you're referring to. ....and, if you don't mind, could you just quote around three scriptures at a time. I'll answer each one, and then we'll progress from there. Thx, D.

Source: Location of the Garden of Eden The Gihon is identified with the Dez and Karun rivers that flow through Western Iran and still meet up with the Tigris and Euphrates.[1] Genesis links this Gihon river with the land of Cush, which in this view is tied to the Kassites (it is also noted that Nimrod son of Kush reigned in Mesopotamia in Genesis 10 – so there may have been a few lands named “Cush” in ancient times). In 1994 satellite radar images of northern Arabia revealed a long dried river that provides evidence for a possible Pishon river. In Genesis this river Pishon is connected to the land of Havilah, and its abundant gold. This dried up river flowed from western Arabia that had ancient gold connections and may be identifiable as Havilah, it flowed east towards the Tigris and Euphrates whom it joined before flowing into the Persian Gulf. Ibid. An interesting topic indeed, we would all like to know where the Garden of Eden was located. I wonder if any archaeological evidence could be found if it was known? I know everyone has done their diligent research and has their opinion. Rather than babble my thoughts, I’ll copy/paste a link that is my opinion, and I agree with if anyone is interested? https://creation.com/where-was-eden It appears to be the Garden of Eden was a specific spot, and Eden itself was a much larger geographical area. I cannot prove it, but based on ancient names for Jerusalem, such as Salem, Israel, and Jerusalem being the center of the world as God views it, that area is the cradle of civilization. With the land promised to God’s select chosen people. The ancient and current history, events, and details centered around Jerusalem and Israel. It would not surprise me if Jerusalem were the site of the Garden of Eden, and the landmass of Israel was Eden? I do not know, but would it not make biblical sense? This area is God’s portion based on scripture and the table of nations. Just a different thought other than the Persian Gulf perspective.

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" My faith grew not by my intellect, for sure, but by my exercising my faith muscle..in the little things. I'm old and I grew up driving cars with mechanical brakes. I had little to no 'faith' in them because they frequently failed. With the modern truck I drive now I don't even think about my brakes as they work every time. Total faith in them! Because I use them every day, and I totally trust them. My faith in them grew as I learned to trust them. Had nothing to do with my intellect. But the faith-full-ness of my brakes, which my life depended on. Trust and patience were added, stirred, and believing/thanking for my petitions, before I received them. God's ways are not man's ways. How He answers my prayers, when He answers my prayers, ain't nothing like I had anticipated. Sometimes it seems slow, and there were times He provided my need before I ask (and I didn't know). God's best blessings (for me) are mostly not monetary, but more eternal. I accept/trust/depend on that now as I grow. The little things. I found so many verses of God's faithfulness and downloaded this light to my heart/brain/hard drive. Scripture is full of what you are looking for Capt. "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart" "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" "The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it" "Let those who delight in my righteousness shout for joy and be glad and say evermore, Great is the Lord, who delights in the welfare of his servant!” The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works. The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them I believe close fellowship is key, not having an ongoing sin causing loss of fellowship. "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" God is Light. His promises are true. He is faithful. Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!

Lucifer, now Satan was in God's Eden, then in Heaven, long before Adam and Eve were created. Ezekiel 28: 13-16; 13, Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14, Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15, Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16, By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
