A Study of the Scriptures: All the Stories in the Bible.

[mpaper345]

So right now we are in the 1st Chapter talking about God's Story (Existence) before the Creation (Leading up to it).

What is God like?

What are His eternal attributes?

Was there anything God did before the Creation?

Did God declare the End from the Beginning before Creation or after Creation? (Isaiah 46:10).

God has no beginning and no end and was not created which God said there was no God formed before Him and there shall be no God formed after Him.God always exists.

This may boggle some people to believe that God was not created but always exists,but if God were created by a God,and a God created that God,then you would have to back up to Gods creating Gods that would not have a beginning which would boggle some people.

It makes more sense to me that God always exists then to believe that Gods are creating Gods that has no beginning because you would have to back up without an end,which means no God would start it off because you would have to back up without an end of Gods creating Gods.

God is an omnipresent Spirit that has no end to His Spirit in any direction but His Spirit goes forever in every direction.

That may boggle some people that God could go on forever or the universe could go on forever without an end but if there would be an end then why would there not be something on the other side.

It makes more sense to me that God goes on forever then God has an end to His Spirit or the universe has and end.

God is omnipotent which means He has power that cannot be greater than what He has.

God is love because He has nothing to prove because He is so much greater than people,what are we going to do so God does not sweat us.We cannot beat Him so God does not have to war against us but can show love which that is His nature anyway.

God knows all things that there is to possible know even the understanding of matter and atoms and the smallest of physical matter and that is how he created everything by taking the dispersed material world and forming it in to whatever He wants.

The thing that boggles me is how God can keep track of everything that people say and do.

Whatever can be known,any knowledge,and intelligence,God knows it and cannot proceed any greater than that because He knows all there is to know,which to God is child's play and easy to Him.God knowing all things that can possibly be known is like us knowing 2 plus 2 equal 4.

Whatever power can be obtained God has it and cannot proceed any further and for God moving a pebble is the same as Him moving a planet.

Since God is an omnipresent Spirit God does not have to move anywhere because He is already there and the Bible says that God is in all and through all.Jesus is God manifest in the flesh and when the man Christ Jesus moved around the Spirit in Him did not move around with Him like it was His personal Spirit,but the Spirit was in Him at the space that the Spirit occupied that space.

If Jesus was standing in a place the Spirit was in Him at the space He was occupying,but if He moved 100 feet away the Spirit was in Him at the space 100 feet away and the Spirit of the space He was earlier occupying stays there.The Spirit does not move around because the Spirit is already there wherever you move and God is in all and through all.

Before God created anything it is obvious that He was the only being in existence because He is the first and the last.We do not know if God did anything God did before creation except create the angels because the Bible says that the angels rejoiced when God laid down the foundation of the world(Job 38).

All things were not created for the angels although God loves the angels,but all things were created for people which the Bible says that the angels desire to look in to the salvation of the saints,and the angels are ministering spirits for all that shall inherit salvation.The Bible says that without God coming in flesh God would of not created anything He created so all things were created for people the man Christ Jesus being the head of the saints.All things were created for the man Christ Jesus and all who follow Him.

Creation was not for the angels but for people and the angels rejoiced when God started creating for people.

God declared the end from the beginning and everything was already planned before God created anything.

The Bible says that the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world.Everything had to be planned out before God starting creating for people because He did not plan it out after He started creating.

As far as did God declare the end from the beginning before creation or after creation.He declared it before creation for Himself but we do not know the end from the beginning until after creation because our start would be from the creation at the beginning to the end where God would declare it before creation.

God would declare it before creation because He exists before creation and had everything planned before He started creating,but we have our start when He already created so God would declare the end from the beginning starting with the formation of the earth,our history.

God already declared the end from the beginning before creation because He already had everything planned out before he created anything,and he declared to us the end from the beginning the history of mankind,which ever since Adam and Eve sinned the world has been heading to one conclusion and that is the beast kingdom in Revelation.

While I do not want to debate this (Because this is a Study Thread and not a Debate Thread), I believe the angels were created on Day 2 of the Creation Week when the Heavens were created. For when the waters were separated, God placed the heavens inbetween them. The heavens is (1) Sky (2) Outerspace (3) Spiritual Heaven. The water below is Earth's waters and the water above is the glassy sea in Heaven. Jesus is our Heaven or bridge (stairway) between these two waters. I have listed my reaso here as to why I believe the angels were created on Day 2.

http://christianchat.com/bible-disc...riptures-all-stories-bible-5.html#post1716847

Also, the Bible does not say or imply that God's Spirit travels forever in all directions infinitely. Granted, nothing is impossible with God; And He is no doubt bigger than we imagine Him to be. But the Scriptures do not specifically imply that He extends in all directions infinitely. Is the space outside of the creation forever expanding? Is God competing with space and or time? Did He not create these things for us? I believe the physical creation is limited in size and it is described as a tent which can torn, or rolled back like a scroll, etc. For was the Spirit of Christ forever expanding in all directions when He was made flesh? I believe Good is made in man's image.

Anyways, if you disagree, please state why in one or two sentences and provide a link to another thread to debate it (As per the OP rules). But for the most part, I agree with much of what you said here.

Side Note Question: Do you believe Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh?

Couple of Edit Corrections here.

1. Meant to say, the word "reasons" and not "reaso"
2. God is made in man's image and not "good" is made in man's image.
3. Physical creation is described as a tent within the Scriptures which says that it can "be" torn.

Correction to number 2. Man is made in Gods image and not God made in mans image. Love you bro.

Chapter 1 - Noah's Ark and the Global Flood (Continued).

Act 2 - (The Flood That Ended The Old World)

And every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. (Genesis 7:14b-15). Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. (Genesis 7:8-9).

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. (Genesis 7:10). And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. (Genesis 7:6).In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. (Genesis 7:11).

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood (Genesis 7:7). In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, (Genesis 7:13a) They, (Genesis 7:14a) and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; (Genesis 7:13b). And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him:

And the LORD shut him in. (Genesis 7:16).

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. (Genesis 7:12).

And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. (Genesis 7:17-23).

For ... God (2 Peter 2:4) spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; (2 Peter 2:5) Making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; (2 Peter 2:6b).

And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. (Genesis 7:24).

Correction to number 2. Man is made in Gods image and not God made in mans image. Love you bro.

Yeah, it's been a long day. You are right.

God made man in his image; Which is one of the reasons why we are to conform to the image of Christ.

Chapter 1 - Noah's Ark and the Global Flood (Continued).

Act 2 - (The Flood That Ended The Old World)

And every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. (Genesis 7:14b-15). Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. (Genesis 7:8-9).

Every beast of every kind went in unto Noah into the ark. The animals were not fighting with Noah to get into the Ark. Noah was not tricking the animals to go in the Ark nor was he using a rod to hit them to get inside. The animals went in themselves unto Noah into the Ark. God brought the animals to Noah and God was guiding the animals unto Noah to go into the Ark.

Every animal kind was said to go into the Ark. This would include even the dinosaurs and elephants. Yet people wonder how they would have fit on the Ark and or not eat each other. Well, first, God no doubt called the baby dinosaurs to enter into the Ark; And seeing God was calling the animals, it is not much of a stretch to think God would be keeping the animals calm and cooperative for the journey (Seeing they were cooperating in going into the Ark).

 

[Brainfreeze]

These animals were some smart ones, they knew the wrath that God was going to pour down over on the earth, and instinctively got on knowing God had a hedge of protection around them, to repopulate... Like when animals move before a tsunami or something.and people have no clue.

First, this is not a debate thread. If you disagree, please provide only 1 or 2 sentences why you disagree and then provide a link (As per the original post rules). However, just to let you know, that if you do post a link to another thread, please be aware that I am currently not interested in debating the truth of the Godhead (Trinity) and the fact that Jesus is God. Veritably, for if there is one fact the Bible makes 100% clear about, it is that Jesus is God. In fact, not that you will look at it, but here are 160 reasons that says Jesus is God...

160 Reasons Jesus Christ is Almighty God

For what was revealed to me was not of my own power or thoughts, but it was from God. For I asked Him to show me something in Genesis chapter 1 that speaks about Him, and He showed me. I ask Him to reveal the truth of His Word, and the Spirit leads me into the truth.

First of all, I would like to apologize for posing questions on your article. I did not realize that you were telling Bible stories and it was not a debating issue. I only realized that after I posted my questions. Thanks for the reference you gave me, I will check it out.

Thank you for being nice and apology accepted.

Thanks for the reference you gave me, I will check it out.

I am glad that you said that you would check out the link. I said that you wouldn't check out the link because from my experience, most "who believe as you do" have not been honest enough with themselves to check out those verses that are on that list (From an unbiased viewpoint). Most just want to ignore, twist, and or distort the Scriptures to believe what they want to already believe (And are not willing to let Scriptures correct them to what the Bible plainly says).

Also, check out...

God is one God who exists as Three Persons.

Anyways, peace, love, and blessings be unto you.

I do believe animals have an instinct about nature that humans do not generally have, like a dog taking cover when there is a storm in the area (And yet there is no visible storm yet). But I believe God moved the animals (By the use of His Spirit and or angels) to gather all the right number of animals that Noah needed perfectly to go into the Ark (Just as God brought the animals unto Adam so he could name them). For I imagine it was quite a miraculous sight to see. Two of every unclean animal and seven of every pair of clean animals all moving to go into the Ark.

​Animals are smarter than alot of people. LOL. They seem to have a sort of sixth sense about things, like knowing when bad weather is coming, as someone mentioned. We can learn alot about animals if we could just take the time to study them.

 

[Jason0047]

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. (Genesis 7:10).

Most commentators believe that Genesis 7:10 is saying that God was allowing one more week for sinners to repent. I don't believe that is what this passsage is saying. I believe their window to repent at Noah's preaching (To be convicted of God's Word) was already passed. Noah just received a message from God that the animals are going to enter the Ark and then within 7 days it was going to rain for 40 days and 40 nights (Genesis 7:1-5). During this 7 day time, Noah was helping to oversee and facilitate the animals going into the Ark by the power of God. I don't believe Noah would have had time to preach one more time so that sinners would have one last opportunity to repent during these last 7 days. Nor do I believe Noah would have disobeyed God's commands here. For Noah was obeying God's commandment to receive the animals into the Ark (Genesis 7:5).

 

[Jason0047]

​Animals are smarter than alot of people. LOL. They seem to have a sort of sixth sense about things, like knowing when bad weather is coming, as someone mentioned. We can learn alot about animals if we could just take the time to study them.

Solomon tells a lazy person to study the ant so that they can be wise (Proverbs 6:6). So we can indeed learn from animals. The Scriptures say that all life has a soul (Job 12:10 KJV) and that animals will go to Heaven (Romans 8:19, 20, 21, 22) (Pay close attention to verse 21). In fact, we are to take care of young birds when their nest has fallen out of a tree (Deuteronomy 22:6). So we are to love all of God's creatures (whenever possible). For they will be our friends in heaven and in the Eternal New Earth one day. However, that said, man is supposed to have dominion over the animals, though.

For...

God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26). Today, people make animal noises in church as a part of them being led supposedly by God. People today make animals more important than people (And centered their lives around them instead of God). The Word was made flesh into the flesh of a man and not an animal so as to die for our sins. Although we can learn from animals and we are to love them, they have a lower status than man (And they should never be uplifted above mankind in any way by saying or even implying that they are "smarter or better than us" --- Making them appear more important than man). For man has a liberty in Christ to eat unclean animals under the New Testament. Man has sacrificed animals under the Old Testament as a temporary covering of sin which was a shadow or type of Jesus Christ who would take sin away forever.

Anyways, I say this not to start a debate (obviously) but so as to clarify the truth here in love.

 

[Jason0047]

I wanted to bring up two important Biblical truths within Genesis 7:1-10 which relates to a song that I have been listening to titled "Noah" sung by Aaron Spiro. Now, Aaron Spiro is a very talented Christian music artist and I would be happy to call him a brother. I like some of his songs. I even liked his song on "Noah" at one time until I started looking a little more closely at what it says in Genesis.

Here are the lyrics:

It’s been forty days since I felt the sun • In the belly of the ship I felt every last one • When it started raining they came two by two • People called me crazy and I felt like it too • Why me and the others let be • Why choose me and let the other ones be • The cancer had spread through the roots of our trees • Passed down to my father and now my father to me • I saw the sadness in God’s eyes • Did they run out of chances and one more last tries? Why me and the others let be • Why choose me and let the other ones be • Later on in the garden sweat poured like a flood • 40 drops of death and fear and blood • Can anyone of give him just a flicker of light? • It’s so hard to see rainbows in the dead of night • Why, why not me • And let your only son be • How can it be • And let the other ones go free?
Now, don't get me wrong. The song is still very beautiful sounding, but just because a song is beautiful sounding, it does not mean it is expressing "Biblical truth," though.

Note: You can listen to the song here:

NOAH - Aaron Spiro | The Story

 

[Jason0047]

.

Here are the lyrics:

It’s been forty days since I felt the sun •

This would be true. Noah did not open the window of the Ark during the 40 days and 40 nights of rain.

In the belly of the ship I felt every last one •

While we do not know whether or not Noah felt every single animal on board the Ark, it could be interpreted as a metaphorical expression within the song that he felt the overall spirit of the animals and how they were under his care. So I will let this statement slide.

When it started raining they came two by two

When I first heard this, I actually wondered if this is what Scripture said or not. So I looked at Genesis 7 a little more closely in detail. Genesis 7:4 essentially says, 7 days from the point God was talking to Noah is when He will make it to rain for 40 days and 40 nights. This is confirmed by Genesis 7:10 that says that waters of the flood were upon the Earth after 7 days. God told Noah that he needed to put the animals into the Ark still and yet it was still going to be seven days until it would rain (Genesis 7::1-4).

• People called me crazy and I felt like it too • Why me and the others let be • Why choose me and let the other ones be •

There is no indication in the text that says that Noah had doubts about what he was doing. 2 Peter 2:4-6 says Noah was a preacher of righteousness who brought in the flood upon the ungoldly. Meaning Noah warned that they would be destroyed if they did not repent and hear him. This is the one aspect that is eliminated by most popular retellings of Noah. That Noah was a preacher of righteousness. Preacher's of righteousness are not thinking they are crazy in what they are doing. They can see all the ungodly deeds around them and they do not want to have any part in such a thing. They prefer God's righteous ways and in living for Him in all they do. Noah knew it was wrong to indulge in one's sinful desires habitually as a way of life (Like the world around him). Noah would not have aked God the question about letting the other ones' be (or to be set free) over himself being saved because Noah knew they were wrong in the way that they lived (Which was their choice in rejecting God).

The cancer had spread through the roots of our trees • Passed down to my father and now my father to me • I saw the sadness in God’s eyes •

These can be viewed as true Biblical statements.

Did they run out of chances and one more last tries?

It wasn't a matter of them running of one last chances or last tries. They did not want any chances or last tries to begin with. Their thoughts were evil continually and they refused to hear God thru Noah's preaching.

Why me and the others let be • Why choose me and let the other ones be •

Repeat of above lyrics (See Comment above).

Later on in the garden sweat poured like a flood • 40 drops of death and fear and blood •

These are metaphorical statements that don't necessarily contradict the Bible.

Can anyone of give him just a flicker of light? • It’s so hard to see rainbows in the dead of night •

The question implies that the "him" is aked of Noah. For the opening of the lyrics says he (Noah) did not see the sun for 40 days and 40 nights. It is asking a question that makes one doubt that Noah's situation onboard the Ark (with the window closed with no daylight) was not God directed because it is asking somebody to give him "a flicker of light" and it says, "It's so hard to see raiinbows in the dead of night." (or the darkness within the Ark). Meaning, that the lyrics here are sympathizing with a thinking on Noah's part that does not exist. I can understand Noah might have been in a little bit afraid at times, but he did not question God's Judgment and nor did he seek another Light, God, or righteous way on the Ark. The rainbow came right when it was supposed to.

For can anyone give him (Noah) a flicker of light?

Well, if Noah believed in God, (Which he of course did), then Noah had the Light (God) already living within his heart and life.

 

[Jason0047]

In other words, the two Biblical Truths I wanted to stress here are:

#1. The Rain came 7 days after God told him to put the animals in the Ark.
(Meaning, the animals were in the Ark already before it began to rain for 40 days and 40 nights).

#2. Noah was a preacher of righteousness; Therefore, he would not have had doubts in living righteously and or others in being judged by God for their unrighteous or ungodly living.

 

[Brainfreeze]

Brother Jason, I think what he was saying "in the belly of the ship I felt every last one" was the forty days without sun light, he's saying Noah felt every last day in the belly of the boat..

 

[Jason0047]

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. (Genesis 7:6). In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, ... (Genesis 7:11).

Noah was 600 years old when the flood waters was upon the Earth.

The number 600 can be found thru out the Bible and it is tied to "warfare." "Warfare" is just another way of saying "executing Judgment." For Jesus will return to wage war or execute judgment upon the remaining nations that will not repent. Noah was 600 years of age before God was about to execute judgement (wage a final war with a flood) against the evil world that has refused to repent.

With 600 men, David pursued and defeated the Amalekites (1 Samuel 30:1-18). 600 soliders of the tribe of Benjamin escaped slaughter in a battle and hid in the rock of the Rimmon (Judges 20:46-47). The Danites sent 600 men with weapons of war to take the city of Laish (Judges 18:7-11).

• David gave to Ornan 600 shekels of gold to buy his site in order to build there an altar to Yahweh (1 Chronicles 21:25) (An altar was for sacrifice; And God was to win the ultimate battle with Christ's sacrifice).
• The head of the spear of Goliath weighed 600 shekels of iron. (1 Samuel 17:7)
• A chariot was imported from Egypt for 600 silver shekels. (1 Kings 10:29)
• The king Solomon made 200 great shields of beaten gold, 600 shekels of gold going into one shield. (1 Kings 10:16)
• Israel under Shamgar challenged 600 Philistines with an ox-goad and saved Israel. (Judges 3:31)
• The Pharaoh made harness 600 chariots when his army dashed off in pursuit of the people of Israel during its exit of Egypt. (Exodus 14:7)
• David had about 600 men with him when he was being pursued by Saul (1 Samuel 23:13).

Brother Jason, I think what he was saying "in the belly of the ship I felt every last one" was the forty days without sun light, he's saying Noah felt every last day in the belly of the boat..

Good catch. I did not think of it in that way. Thank you.

Anyways, may God bless you greatly today, my friend.
