Genesis 1:5, in chronological order of the Bible, maybe not exactly Chronological of actual dates of oldest to newest. 1st reference of day is evening & morning 1st day. Also light day & darkness night. Scientificly can be referenced to earths rotation being a day, approximately 24 hrs. That also in itself isn't completely finite, that's why we have time changes throughout the year spring & fall & leap-year in addition. In that day of creation was the determination as the rotation of the earth? Interestingly the sun & moon were not yet created, Genesis 1:16, therefore was the light from GOD? It does not specify the rotation nor exact hours. Yet classified as "the first day"
Genesis 2:4, it is quoted "in the day that the LORD God made the earth, and the heavens" as you ask? Here may possibly be the 1st time we can differentiate day being a moment of time, because the previous chapter already clarified/classified 1st day, 2nd day, etc.
Genesis 2:17, Genesis 3:5,
Genesis 3:8, this may be the perfect example of clearly being 1 actual moment of a 24hr day. It would be interesting to know the different words used for each example from ealier translations & languages. To really study this more thoroughly.
Genesis 3:17 appears to be the 1st time in our translation & English wording that day is plural in multiple yet it was assumed previous as multiple yet as a single moment therefore classified as "a day" Genesis 5:2,
Again we see it Genesis 5:4,5,
Going further outside of Genesis; Luke 6:22-23, also being a moment not necessarily 1 rotation of earth. Luke 10:12, Luke 12:28, Luke 12:46, Luke 17:24, Revelation 6:17,
2 Peter 3:8,10, reading in context 2 Peter 3,
1 Corinthians 13:9-13, Colossians 1:26, there are principles here that help us understand we don't know everything here on earth in the flesh.
The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.
Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7
Isaiah 6:8
Romans 1:20
Colossians 2:9
Acts 17:27-30
1 John 5:7
John 10:30
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"
Genesis 1:1
The Father purposes
The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)
The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.
All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.
Matthew 1:23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US. [Jesus]
1 Corinthians 12:1-31 explains all the gifts, titled, administrations that God gives to the Church that Jesus has planted on earth Now.
Those that He calls, he anoints for the work. Luke 4:18. The Bible says the gifts and callings are without revocation. If we try to operate without the Holy Spirits anointing; we will not bear good fruit. Can even become apostate.
It's not something to treat carelessly. The Head of the Church is Jesus Christ. All parts of the Body are connected to Jesus.
Jesus is High Priest, sitting at the right hand of God the Father in heaven now. He ministered (on earth) in all offices of Prophet, Teacher, The Good Shepherd (pastor) and Evangelist.
An Apostle is one who has seen the risen Christ. And who operates in all 5 offices of ministry. All of Jesus's Disciples (except Judas Iscariot), became Apostles. Who are Church planters. I think missionaries most qualify as Apostles. (My opinion)
Most important church people: are the praise and worship leaders. "Enter His Courts with Praise."
I have taken that to be wisdom especially when we think to highly of someone & they fall into sin. Putting too much trust in man, woman, their position or title, for example. This was advice maybe through experience.
Proverbs 6:30, Proverbs 6:23-26,
Hopefully these scriptures are also helpful in reference
For me, being in Christ Jesus would mean that I have received Him into my life as my Lord and Savior. He is in me and I am in Him and nothing can separate me from Him. Jesus said in John 14:20, "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye (in me), and I in you. So Jesus is making a connection for us here.
In Colossians 2:9, Paul says "For in Him, (in Christ), dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily" or in bodily form. When we receive Christ, and we are born of His Spirit, we have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit living inside of us. Not part of Him, all of Him. You know how long it is going to last? Forever!
We have to understand that we have a spirit. And when God's Spirit comes into our spirit, we become one, never to be undone. His Spirit is in our spirit. And when we die, when our spirit leaves our body, He's taking us. His Spirit and our spirit will never be separate from now, throughout eternity!
So this is what it means to me to be in Christ Jesus. I am in Him, and He is in me.
Hi Alex; After reading what you wrote I agree that there is a spiritual Israel, the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 2:29 all Christians are circumcised in their hearts and are Jews, meaning all people regardless of color or nationality, male or female, we are now the heirs of the promises of Abraham. Galatians 3:29 However, I do not agree that God has or ever will have a grandson, The Holy Ghost is God in the doctrine of the godhead Colossians 2:9 and all Christians are his children, not his grand children.
Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Luke 16:16-17 "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it." "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."
Colossians 2:13-15 "Blotting out the of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"
The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

{Comment} Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.
[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]
Upon being born again, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to us. Teach us scripture, comfort us, convict us of sin, enable us to be witnesses. Stay in the New Testament at first. Learn fully who the Son of Man is (Jesus).
Your friend might get a better picture of what is coming to the earth, by watching this high tech kinda wild movie on what the end times will look like. It helps to read the Book of Revelation in the Bible.
Lots of people can't get a point of reference on Revelation. It seems mystical but it isn't. It going to fit perfectly into our society.
This movie is chopped up into about 10 videos. To see how earth ends and begins again, watch the one titled, the "Millennium."
See it on YouTube. It's about 1:44 mins long.
Tell friends about it too. Very little dialog, but scripture references are shown.
(The videos put out by Lion of the Tribe of Judah; don't get it mixed up with the Revelation Station videos)
Hello Rick. That's interesting that you mention Colossians 2:16-20. In the sermon this morning, I was directed to Colossians 2:12-15 - verses just before the ones you gave. It came as a confirmation of what the New Covenant in Christ's Blood accomplished: "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross". The Law as given was truly "holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good", but it failed to make a man righteous, rather to point him to his inability to keep it & his need of a Saviour.
Galatians 3:19-23: "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed."
And this faith that leads to salvation came after the work at the Cross was accomplished & the Holy Spirit was sent to give those earnestly seeking forgiveness, giving to them God's Grace & Faith to believe ( Ephesians 2:8). The Sabbath might be holy but if the Jewish rigidity of obedience is ascribed to it by Christians under the Blood, then both it & the whole Law nullifies one of the core accomplishments of the Cross: liberty to walk & obey in the Spirit & not by the letter.
Once I started at Genesis, Psalms & Matthew reading in those 3. It was amazing the revelation revealed while reading old & New Testament together especially when one chapter like Psalms 22, & Luke 23,
It could have been better structured however. Maybe start with ,
Genesis, John ,
Exodus, Joshua, Hebrews,
Hosea, Song of Solomon, Ruth, Job, Tobit,
Psalms, Luke, just keep markers in each place, when jumping around.
Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be children of the Highest: for he is KIND TO the unthankful and to THE EVIL.
Colossians 1:20 And, having MADE PEACE through the blood of his cross, by him TO RECONCILE ALL THINGS unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Hebrews 2:8 Thou hast put ALL THINGS in subjection under his feet. For in that HE PUT ALL in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see NOT YET all things put under him.
Phillipians 2:11 And that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
1 Corinthians 15:28 ...and GOD WILL BE ALL IN ALL.
Brother Earl. You stated the following: "they don't BELIEVE that ALL MEN are God's CHURCH". I don't believe it either. God's Church, or Christ's Church, comprise only those saved by the Blood of the Lamb. If they include the wicked & unrepentant as well as those entering into salvation & its blessings with unbelief in their hearts, then that brings shame on Christ's Work towards salvation & makes the Cross meaningless. If Christ "draws all men unto Him", then the only ones who are accepted of the Father are those of whom He spoke, "And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." ( John 12:47,48). And God's Judgement is certain, final, & eternal - no second chances to those who die without Christ ( Hebrews 9:27; Hebrews 10:27-29).
"Judah was the only one that had five brothers, so this (reference in Luke 16:27,28) was addressed to the house of JUDAH, creation is the PROMISED SEED of the house of JUDAH." If the reference is to Judah's five brothers, then what is Judah doing sitting in hell in torments? Hopefully, the Jews didn't realize that Jesus was talking about Judah in hell & his five brothers about to enter there as well.
"since Christ is the church, and Christ is creation's brother". Not sure how you work out that Christ is creation's brother. Christ is indeed the Church ( Colossians 1:18,24), but He is also the Creator without familial relationship to His Creation ( Colossians 1:15-17). He does love His creation, but the only brothers He has, are those whom He has purchased with His Own Blood ( Acts 20:28).
Colossians 1:27 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile ALL THINGS unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
It changes nothing about salvation, but includes all in salvation.

Jesus is God. He's part of the Godhead. Romans 1:20, When he was being tried by the Pharisees, He said: I and my Father are one.
The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us" in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.
Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Genesis 1:1
The Father purposes
The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)
The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.
Jesus is returning sooner than we all think. Matthew 24 and Luke 21 give us specific signs to watch for. They will increase near the end of days
Something else...this world we call home is going to pass away. We know that it's going to end and be renewed to what God created in Genesis. Before we polluted it and destroyed it with greed and technology. 2 PETER CHAPTER 3.
God promised never to flood the World again. But it is going to burn up. It already happening. IT IS NOT GLOBAL WARMING. The earth is responding to the WORD OF GOD, shown to Peter.
It's coming apart now: forest fires, worldwide droughts, polluted ground water from human belligerence; continent sized floating islands of garbage in both hemispheres. Earthquakes and Volcanos, floods: with increasing intensity. FAULTS once thought long dead will become active. As the end wars will be fought, we'll see space objects hit earth, our cities. Food will be used against us to force us to take THE MARK OF THE BEAST, ANTICHRIST. One world currency will be forced on us next. One world religion. Individuality will be no more.
Sister Donna, may God grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
God is Spirit, spirit cannot be seen.
God wanted to be seen.
God created a BODY that can be seen, and he filled that body with himself. He called that first BODY; MAN, our LORD, Jesus Christ. (God in a body)
The MAN, Jesus Christ, through the POWER of the unseen Father in HIM, created all other things.
Jesus Christ, through the works of the cross, is now creating in each of us this KNOWLEDGE, that we are A BODY, just like he is a BODY, that is filled with HIMSELF, as he is ONE with the FATHER, we become ONE with HIM and the FATHER.
Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery... CHRIST IN YOU ....
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD that worketh IN YOU (HIS BODY) TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
Ephesians 4:4 One body, and ONE SPIRIT ...
Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, and above all, and through you all, and IN YOU ALL.
Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are the children of the most high.
Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Hebrews 11:3 Through faith (of Christ) we understand that the worlds were framed by the WORD of GOD (Spirit), so the things that ARE SEEN were not made of thing which do appear.
Everything that we see was made of what we CANNOT see: everything was made OF SPIRIT (GOD).
The sun, moon, stars, planets, trees, MAN, etc., etc., are made and do consist OF and IN CHRIST. Man was created in darkness, no KNOWLEDGE that GOD created MAN out of HIMSELF.
Colossians 1:17 .....and by him all things consist.
John 1:5 And he shined LIGHT into DARKNESS and the DARKNESS comprehended it not.
Glory to our God, who in the fullness of time will DESTROY DARKNESS.
Sister Lise, may God grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
The words of God are WRITTEN to his church, we individually are the church.
Now if the CHURCH is not going to be here when the beast and anti-christ are here, why would God have need of putting that in his word.
Revelation says which is, which was, and which is to come.
And no man could buy or sell, save he had the mark of the beast. Has not man been buying and selling since the world begin, man IS buying and selling, WAS buying and selling and SHALL BE buying and selling.
From the beginning God made vessel of honour, that God CHOSE, to fulfill his PURPOSE, but he also made vessels of dishonour, that he CHOSE, to fulfill his PURPOSE.
Abel was Chosen to be a vessel of honour, Cain was Chosen to be a vessel of dishonour.
Genesis 4:15...and set a MARK upon Cain (a beast, a vessel of dishonour)....
A BEAST has no KNOWLEDGE of GOD, we all start as THE BEAST.
Proverbs 9:1-2 WISDOM ....hath killed her BEAST.....
ANTI means against, opposed or not in agreement with: we all start out as ANTI christ.
Proverbs 16:6 By truth and mercy iniquity is purged (destroyed), and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
By studying God's Word THE BEAST and THE ANTI CHRIST (no knowledge and wisdom of God within you) is destroyed and replaced by LIFE and TRUTH ( Colossians 1:27), being BORN AGAIN by the word of God. ( 1 Peter 1:23).
Brother T. Lewis, may Christ grace us with HIS wisdom and His understanding.
There was total darkness when Christ died, because Christ is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven, a WOMAN clothed with the SUN (the light of the world), and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars (the house of Israel).
Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God doth lighten it, and the LAMB IS THE LIGHT THEREOF.
Our physical sun burns and gives light because Christ CAUSES it, Christ is the light (sun). ( Colossians 1:17)
The star the wise men follower was CHRIST, he is the BRIGHT and MORNING STAR. ( Revelation 22:16)
Hi James. I know, that word 'hate' can be very pointed & ugly, especially when seen in the Scriptures. We need to realize that 'hate' as seen here & other places, can have several meanings. The word in Greek is 'miseo', & of course, it does mean 'to hate' but also can have other meanings according to application, i.e. 'to detest, to love less, to esteem less'. So, it's not always an ugly uncontrolled emotion that is shown. You can think of Luke 14:26, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Did the Lord mean to say that we are to feel such hatred for our family just so that we can truly follow Him? Or did He mean that we need to esteem Him more, putting Him first in everything even to giving our family second place?
And then we have another conundrum as seen in Isaiah 45:7: "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." I share this verse simply to demonstrate the usage & understanding of languages. In Isaiah, we read of two strange phenomena: God creating darkness & creating evil. Can a God Who is altogether Light & altogether Holy & Good create such things? Some might say, yes, because He is God. Rather we should consider that in light of Who God is, maybe the creation of darkness, is actually God removing His Light. Maybe the creation of evil, is God removing His Peace. Darkness is always the default just as is Evil the present default in the World. We enjoy both physical & spiritual Light because of God's intervention through Christ ( Colossians 1:16,17; John 8:12) - we also enjoy great quietness & enjoyment of life because God by His Spirit is holding back the full onslaught of evil ( 2 Thessalonians 2:7).
Therefore Romans 9:13 & Malachi 1:2,3 that speak of 'hating Esau', can only mean that Esau was hated (rejected) in God's Plan, just as Jacob was loved (accepted).
Brother David, put the verses below together and mediate on them in the spirit.
We are here on earth and the kingdom is within us. Christ is the body that holds the fullness of the Father, Christ is ONE with the Father, a body with LIFE in that body, we are (ONE) the body and Christ is the LIFE in the body.
Colossians 1:27 ....this MYSTERY..... CHRIST IN YOU.....
Ephesians 4:4
Mark 8:35
Matthew 7:14
Christ is the SEED and the SEED, when planted, bears SEED exactly like the SEED planted. Look at the way God has made plants and animals to reproduce, after their LIKENESS. God reproduces no different than what he created reproduces. Jesus is the first (son of god), Jesus is the last (son of god).

2 Peter 3:8,10, reading in context 2 Peter 3,
1 Corinthians 13:9-13, Colossians 1:26, there are principles here that help us understand we don't know everything here on earth in the flesh.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

1 Corinthians 12:1-31 explains all the gifts, titled, administrations that God gives to the Church that Jesus has planted on earth Now.
Those that He calls, he anoints for the work. Luke 4:18. The Bible says the gifts and callings are without revocation. If we try to operate without the Holy Spirits anointing; we will not bear good fruit. Can even become apostate.
It's not something to treat carelessly. The Head of the Church is Jesus Christ. All parts of the Body are connected to Jesus.
Jesus is High Priest, sitting at the right hand of God the Father in heaven now. He ministered (on earth) in all offices of Prophet, Teacher, The Good Shepherd (pastor) and Evangelist.
An Apostle is one who has seen the risen Christ. And who operates in all 5 offices of ministry. All of Jesus's Disciples (except Judas Iscariot), became Apostles. Who are Church planters. I think missionaries most qualify as Apostles. (My opinion)
Most important church people: are the praise and worship leaders. "Enter His Courts with Praise."
Proverbs 6:30, Proverbs 6:23-26,
Hopefully these scriptures are also helpful in reference

Example Luke 20:21, Matthew 22:16, even when trying to trap Jesus they testified that HE wasn't a "respecter of persons"
Jesus was tested by this Luke 4:2-4,
Is it also coincidence that it was a piece of bread that was given before betrayal by Jesus? John 13:18,21-27, John 6:33,
Proverbs 11:13, Micah 7:5,
Deuteronomy 7:3-6,
Yet GOD was doing a work Judges 14:4, Judges 15:20,
New Testament Ephesians 5:25,28,33, 1Peter 1:22, Colossians 3:19, 1 Corinthians 7:14,

For me, being in Christ Jesus would mean that I have received Him into my life as my Lord and Savior. He is in me and I am in Him and nothing can separate me from Him. Jesus said in John 14:20, "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye (in me), and I in you. So Jesus is making a connection for us here.
In Colossians 2:9, Paul says "For in Him, (in Christ), dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily" or in bodily form. When we receive Christ, and we are born of His Spirit, we have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit living inside of us. Not part of Him, all of Him. You know how long it is going to last? Forever!
We have to understand that we have a spirit. And when God's Spirit comes into our spirit, we become one, never to be undone. His Spirit is in our spirit. And when we die, when our spirit leaves our body, He's taking us. His Spirit and our spirit will never be separate from now, throughout eternity!
So this is what it means to me to be in Christ Jesus. I am in Him, and He is in me.

"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Luke 16:16-17 "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it." "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."

Genesis 1:1
The Father purposes
The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)
The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.
All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.
Matthew 1:23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US. [Jesus]
{Comment} Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.
[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]
Upon being born again, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to us. Teach us scripture, comfort us, convict us of sin, enable us to be witnesses. Stay in the New Testament at first. Learn fully who the Son of Man is (Jesus).
Your friend might get a better picture of what is coming to the earth, by watching this high tech kinda wild movie on what the end times will look like. It helps to read the Book of Revelation in the Bible.
Lots of people can't get a point of reference on Revelation. It seems mystical but it isn't. It going to fit perfectly into our society.
This movie is chopped up into about 10 videos. To see how earth ends and begins again, watch the one titled, the "Millennium."
See it on YouTube. It's about 1:44 mins long.
Tell friends about it too. Very little dialog, but scripture references are shown.
(The videos put out by Lion of the Tribe of Judah; don't get it mixed up with the Revelation Station videos)
John 12:1,12,13, John 13:1-2,
Matthew 27:15,
1st Sabbath being the Passover feast.
Exodus 12,
2nd Sabbath Matthew 28:1,
Psalms 81:3, also significant Mark 15:33, total solar Eclipse, New moon?
We should be careful not to follow after traditions set up by men, but Study to understand. Colossians 2:8, Matthew 15:3, Mark 7:9
Why would Jesus rebuke them over tradition? Because even today it causes doubt, & confusion amongst the church.
Hopefully these scriptures are helpful. GOD's WORD is truth.
Tradition is not 100% reliable.
Cases of injustice : Ecclesiastes: 5:8,
In the case of violence : Psalms 140:1,
Ephesians: 6:1, (how can a child obey a parent in the LORD if alienated?) Colossians 3:20,
This scripture might also be fitting for the situation. GOD knows all.
Romans 1:28-31
Encouragement :
Luke 18:27-30
Hopefully these are helpful.
Galatians 3:19-23: "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed."
And this faith that leads to salvation came after the work at the Cross was accomplished & the Holy Spirit was sent to give those earnestly seeking forgiveness, giving to them God's Grace & Faith to believe ( Ephesians 2:8). The Sabbath might be holy but if the Jewish rigidity of obedience is ascribed to it by Christians under the Blood, then both it & the whole Law nullifies one of the core accomplishments of the Cross: liberty to walk & obey in the Spirit & not by the letter.
all the law because the law of Love in Christ it agapeo is above the Written law given to Israel to get them to
taste Gods Original Intent Mathew 22:36-40
Walking by the Spirit fulfills Mathew 22:36-40 includes the
Sabbath no matter which one you pick Colossians 2:16-20. Galatians 3 Whole Chapter IT IS WRITTEN. Sort
of a brief Synopsis. In the Book of Acts they fellowshipped daily house to house and evangelized everywhere
including the temple on their sabbath.
It could have been better structured however. Maybe start with ,
Genesis, John ,
Exodus, Joshua, Hebrews,
Hosea, Song of Solomon, Ruth, Job, Tobit,
Psalms, Luke, just keep markers in each place, when jumping around.

Rick, please read : Mark 12:27, Luke 20:36-38, Hebrews 9:14-15, Luke 9:60, Genesis 2:17,
Genesis 3:20,
John 3:3,5,6,
Numbers 23:19, 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, Leviticus,
Nowhere, is that stated in Scripture. Colossians 2:8
Revelations 22:19,
Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be children of the Highest: for he is KIND TO the unthankful and to THE EVIL.
Colossians 1:20 And, having MADE PEACE through the blood of his cross, by him TO RECONCILE ALL THINGS unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Hebrews 2:8 Thou hast put ALL THINGS in subjection under his feet. For in that HE PUT ALL in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see NOT YET all things put under him.
Phillipians 2:11 And that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
1 Corinthians 15:28 ...and GOD WILL BE ALL IN ALL.
"Judah was the only one that had five brothers, so this (reference in Luke 16:27,28) was addressed to the house of JUDAH, creation is the PROMISED SEED of the house of JUDAH." If the reference is to Judah's five brothers, then what is Judah doing sitting in hell in torments? Hopefully, the Jews didn't realize that Jesus was talking about Judah in hell & his five brothers about to enter there as well.
"since Christ is the church, and Christ is creation's brother". Not sure how you work out that Christ is creation's brother. Christ is indeed the Church ( Colossians 1:18,24), but He is also the Creator without familial relationship to His Creation ( Colossians 1:15-17). He does love His creation, but the only brothers He has, are those whom He has purchased with His Own Blood ( Acts 20:28).
Colossians 1:27 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile ALL THINGS unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
It changes nothing about salvation, but includes all in salvation.
The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us" in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.
Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7
Isaiah 6:8
Romans 1:20
Colossians 2:9
Acts 17:27-30
1 John 5:7
John 10:30
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made (us), even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse"
Genesis 1:1
The Father purposes
The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)
The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.
Jesus is returning sooner than we all think. Matthew 24 and Luke 21 give us specific signs to watch for. They will increase near the end of days
Something else...this world we call home is going to pass away. We know that it's going to end and be renewed to what God created in Genesis. Before we polluted it and destroyed it with greed and technology. 2 PETER CHAPTER 3.
God promised never to flood the World again. But it is going to burn up. It already happening. IT IS NOT GLOBAL WARMING. The earth is responding to the WORD OF GOD, shown to Peter.
It's coming apart now: forest fires, worldwide droughts, polluted ground water from human belligerence; continent sized floating islands of garbage in both hemispheres. Earthquakes and Volcanos, floods: with increasing intensity. FAULTS once thought long dead will become active. As the end wars will be fought, we'll see space objects hit earth, our cities. Food will be used against us to force us to take THE MARK OF THE BEAST, ANTICHRIST. One world currency will be forced on us next. One world religion. Individuality will be no more.
Take the Mark=DEATH
Take Jesus=LIFE ETERNAL
FAITH believes God's Word.
The Holy Spirit, John 3:5-8
God is Spirit, spirit cannot be seen.
God wanted to be seen.
God created a BODY that can be seen, and he filled that body with himself. He called that first BODY; MAN, our LORD, Jesus Christ. (God in a body)
The MAN, Jesus Christ, through the POWER of the unseen Father in HIM, created all other things.
Jesus Christ, through the works of the cross, is now creating in each of us this KNOWLEDGE, that we are A BODY, just like he is a BODY, that is filled with HIMSELF, as he is ONE with the FATHER, we become ONE with HIM and the FATHER.
Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery... CHRIST IN YOU ....
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD that worketh IN YOU (HIS BODY) TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
Ephesians 4:4 One body, and ONE SPIRIT ...
Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, and above all, and through you all, and IN YOU ALL.
Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are the children of the most high.
Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
God Bless You.
Hebrews 11:3 Through faith (of Christ) we understand that the worlds were framed by the WORD of GOD (Spirit), so the things that ARE SEEN were not made of thing which do appear.
Everything that we see was made of what we CANNOT see: everything was made OF SPIRIT (GOD).
The sun, moon, stars, planets, trees, MAN, etc., etc., are made and do consist OF and IN CHRIST. Man was created in darkness, no KNOWLEDGE that GOD created MAN out of HIMSELF.
Colossians 1:17 .....and by him all things consist.
John 1:5 And he shined LIGHT into DARKNESS and the DARKNESS comprehended it not.
Glory to our God, who in the fullness of time will DESTROY DARKNESS.
God Bless You.
The words of God are WRITTEN to his church, we individually are the church.
Now if the CHURCH is not going to be here when the beast and anti-christ are here, why would God have need of putting that in his word.
Revelation says which is, which was, and which is to come.
And no man could buy or sell, save he had the mark of the beast. Has not man been buying and selling since the world begin, man IS buying and selling, WAS buying and selling and SHALL BE buying and selling.
From the beginning God made vessel of honour, that God CHOSE, to fulfill his PURPOSE, but he also made vessels of dishonour, that he CHOSE, to fulfill his PURPOSE.
Abel was Chosen to be a vessel of honour, Cain was Chosen to be a vessel of dishonour.
Genesis 4:15...and set a MARK upon Cain (a beast, a vessel of dishonour)....
A BEAST has no KNOWLEDGE of GOD, we all start as THE BEAST.
Proverbs 9:1-2 WISDOM ....hath killed her BEAST.....
ANTI means against, opposed or not in agreement with: we all start out as ANTI christ.
Proverbs 16:6 By truth and mercy iniquity is purged (destroyed), and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
By studying God's Word THE BEAST and THE ANTI CHRIST (no knowledge and wisdom of God within you) is destroyed and replaced by LIFE and TRUTH ( Colossians 1:27), being BORN AGAIN by the word of God. ( 1 Peter 1:23).
God Bless You.
There was total darkness when Christ died, because Christ is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven, a WOMAN clothed with the SUN (the light of the world), and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars (the house of Israel).
Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God doth lighten it, and the LAMB IS THE LIGHT THEREOF.
Our physical sun burns and gives light because Christ CAUSES it, Christ is the light (sun). ( Colossians 1:17)
The star the wise men follower was CHRIST, he is the BRIGHT and MORNING STAR. ( Revelation 22:16)
And then we have another conundrum as seen in Isaiah 45:7: "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." I share this verse simply to demonstrate the usage & understanding of languages. In Isaiah, we read of two strange phenomena: God creating darkness & creating evil. Can a God Who is altogether Light & altogether Holy & Good create such things? Some might say, yes, because He is God. Rather we should consider that in light of Who God is, maybe the creation of darkness, is actually God removing His Light. Maybe the creation of evil, is God removing His Peace. Darkness is always the default just as is Evil the present default in the World. We enjoy both physical & spiritual Light because of God's intervention through Christ ( Colossians 1:16,17; John 8:12) - we also enjoy great quietness & enjoyment of life because God by His Spirit is holding back the full onslaught of evil ( 2 Thessalonians 2:7).
Therefore Romans 9:13 & Malachi 1:2,3 that speak of 'hating Esau', can only mean that Esau was hated (rejected) in God's Plan, just as Jacob was loved (accepted).
We are here on earth and the kingdom is within us. Christ is the body that holds the fullness of the Father, Christ is ONE with the Father, a body with LIFE in that body, we are (ONE) the body and Christ is the LIFE in the body.
Colossians 1:27 ....this MYSTERY..... CHRIST IN YOU.....
Ephesians 4:4
Mark 8:35
Matthew 7:14
Christ is the SEED and the SEED, when planted, bears SEED exactly like the SEED planted. Look at the way God has made plants and animals to reproduce, after their LIKENESS. God reproduces no different than what he created reproduces. Jesus is the first (son of god), Jesus is the last (son of god).
Job 38:7 When the MORNING STARS (plural) sang together (ONE), the SONS OF GOD shouted for joy.

Precious friends, Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, Edified, And "COMFORTED With THESE Words Of God's Truth!" 1 Thessalonians 4:18
and if this is challenged look at Colossians 2:13-18 we are judged by the word and Jesus Christ put
an end to the old law, that meaning we worship God twenty four seven in our walk bu the spirit
and fellowship or get together with other believers when we can. The sabbath was made for man not
man for the sabbath, a man we all consider Kings of Kings said that.
