Bible questions and promises
What did Jesus means when He said His disciples "Man of little faith"
Ans: This phrase was only used on His disciples, because they saw too many miracles Jesus had performed, yet they didn't have faith in Him. Whereas, the common people had so much faith in Him
Mk: 6:45-56, Mt 14:22-33, Lk 6:16-21
Jesus walked on water, disciples terrified, they missed learning and seeing Jesus is God when Jesus had just fed the 5000. When He crossed over, the common people learnt of His presence, their faith was so great that they brought the sick and even touch the fringe of His garment, they believe they will get healed.
When the common folks saw the signs of Jesus, they believe, they didn't doubt. But the disciples saw the signs, they didn't believe, or they doubted
Ps Prince will said, "You take too little from Me, take more"
When you are in a very bad shape, u confessed that the favor of God is very strong in my life, is that a truth or a lie?
The truth is a truth, your bad situation does not and will not able to change the truth.
When u are at the point sinning, u confessed that you are the righteousness of God, is this a truth or heresy?

why adam and eve did not procreate before sin
Before sin, they walked by the spirit and living a spirit filled life
After sin, they live by human reasoning because of the knowledge of Good n evil
God forbit human reasoning that will fall short of spirit filled live (glory of God)
When and who was the 1st righteous person be tempted?
Genesis, Adam and Eve
Did Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel loose their salvation?
How did God see Adam and Eve after the sin? Righteous or sinner?
Why God put curses on Adam and Eve?
Because of the knowledge of good and evil. A mixed.
Why God didn't want man to have the knowledge of good and evil and their eyes are open?
Whether one is righteous not based on what we do, but how God perceive one see us
God saw Abel was righteous because of his faith (the fruit of his love for God) or because of his work of offering of a better portion?
Did Abraham confessed that he is father of many?
From judgement to justification
In what ways can we lose our salvation?
Can sin cause us to lose our salvation?
- unconfessed sins
- willfully sin
- sinning against the Holy Spirit
When we read the bible, we must have grace perspective in order to have revelation and see that the bible never contradict itself
What is trinity?
What is ONE in the bible?
3 distinct persons United into 1, tri in unity
Gen 2:24, man and woman, they United into One
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:4-6)
Did Jesus claim to be God?
He claimed to be son of God, and calling God his father, making himself equal to God. John 5:18
He claimed to be I AM. John 8:58. I AM in the burning bush, Ex 3:14
He claimed to be the only way to God
He claimed to be aloha and omega, Rev1:17-18
He claimed to be the living one, Rev 1:17-18
He claimed that He and the Father are one
“‘I and the Father are one.’ Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, ‘I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?’ ‘We are not stoning you for any of these,’ replied the Jews, ‘but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God’” (John10:30–33).
Caiaphas the high priest asked Him: “‘Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?’ ‘I am,’ said Jesus. ‘And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven’” (Mark14:61–62)
The purpose of the Law
Rom 3:19-20
19 Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given (those whom they thought they don't need a savior), for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God.
20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
Do we throw out the law? Rom 3:31
31 Well then, if we emphasize faith, does this mean that we can forget about (throw out) the law? Of course not! In fact, only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law.
Matthew 7:12, "Whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets."
Paul can say in 1 Corinthians 13:3, "If I give away all I have and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing."
Blasphemy is stoned to death, not by crucifixion
Why then Jesus was crucified? Cursed is the one who hung on a tree. Jesus received all the curses of the law
Abraham saw Jesus
Jesus claimed that Abraham saw him, and before Abraham even born, He is the I AM
John 5:58, Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!"
Did Abraham saw Jesus?
Who were the 3 guess Abraham welcomed?
Abraham was justified by faith in Christ
Gen 18:1-2
1 The Lord appeared again to Abraham near the oak grove belonging to Mamre. One day Abraham was sitting at the entrance to his tent during the hottest part of the day. 2 He looked up and noticed three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran to meet them and welcomed them, bowing low to the ground.
3 “My lord,” he said, “if it pleases you, stop here for a while.
4 Rest in the shade of this tree while water is brought to wash your feet
The LORD Jesus appeared to Abraham, with 2 angels
Gen 19:1
1 That evening the two angels came to the entrance of the city of Sodom. Lot was sitting there, and when he saw them, he stood up to meet them. Then he welcomed them and bowed with his face to the ground.
2 “My lords,” he said, “come to my home to wash your feet, and be my guests for the night.
Lot called the 2 Angels "My Lords"
Matt 5:17-20 Jesus teaches the Law of Moses and throughout the whole Chap 5
Jesus fulfilled the law, that's why all the curses accompanied with fulfilling the law fell upon Jesus
If u choose to be under grace, u will be protected by grace, u will be a subject of grace, u will subject yourself to only blessings because u believe in the finished work of Christ to have absorbed n took upon himself all the curses n wrath of God
Justification by faith, sanctions by faith
Salvation Yes, God's wrath No, God curse No
If u choose to come under law or a mixed, u will be protected by your believe, u will be a subject of law, u will subject yourself to both curses n blessings because believe in the unfinished work of Christ to have absorbed n took upon himself all the curses n wrath of God. Along with salvation because of Grace, there are curses,
Justification by faith, sanctions by work
Salvation Yes, God's wrath yes, God curse Yes
If one choose to be under law, he must be under all, cursed are those people who are under law
Unbelieving Jews, Gentiles
Salvation No, God's wrath yes, God curse Yes
I think part of the difficulty comes as a bit of confusion as to what is meant by the law and its application.
When the law was introduced, it was never intended to be the instrument by which man would save himself, but it was the instrument through which man was to be saved. In a very real sense, man is saved through the fulfilment (keeping) of the law. When Christ fulfilled the law, he earned the privilege of life. Those who are in Christ, likewise, share in his righteousness and are delcared righteous right along side him. In that sense, the law has always stood and and will continue to stand.
That being said, though, it's important to realize that we basically choose whether the law applies to us individually or not -- through grace, we can choose to be in Christ, or we can choose to stand on our own merits when we're judged. In that sense, too, the law still stands.
Paul talks a good deal about this in the book of Romans, and the whole book gives a much more complete (and competent :) ) version of an explanation that I'm about to...
I think it's important to realize the role of the law. I'm going to jump arount a bit, but if we start with Romans 7:7-12, I think we can make a little more sense of this (emphasis mine):
Romans 7:7What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet." 8But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead. 9I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. 11For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. 12So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
For apart from law, sin lies dead
If there is no law (without the law), sin is dead.
What is dead to sin?
Dead to sin is dead to the law
Before u believe in Christ, u are subject to the law, so as to you will know sin. Sin will make you know that you need a Savior
But when you believe in Christ, you are righteous, you don't need the law to remind you of your sin, hence, you should be dead to the law, in order to focus on your faith
We are righteous (justified) by faith n sanctified by faith
Not righteous by faith, but sanctified (made holy) by law (work)
Righteousness (justification) is the root, holiness (sanctification) is the fruit
Not
holiness (sanctification) is the root, Righteousness (justification) is the fruit
If we trust that righteousness is a gift by faith in Christ, holiness will follow automatically when time is given and process is allowed, when there is no condemnation during the process.
*** Can our unholiness cancel out our righteousness in Christ?
The first commandment, do not eat the tree of the fruit of the knowledge n evil
The first sin was disobedience
Satan first strategy is lie "you shall not surely die"
This made God a liar, when God said you will die
God didn't want man to have knowledge of good and evil?
The first curse is work
The second curse is birth pain and battle between satan and seed (Jesus). The battle belong to God
The third curse is craw with belly
Adam and Eve were completely righteous because they were made by God. How did they became sinner? Did they kill? Did they commit adultery? It's simply disobedient
The definition of sin is disobedient
God created Adam and Eve and command them to be fruitful and multiply before the fall, why didn't they obey until after the fall?
why no reproduction (procreation) before adam and eve sinned
why God didn't give adam and eve children before the fall?
Why after sinned, both Adam and Eve felt ashame when naked?
Gen 2:25 The man and his wife both naked, but they felt no shame, before the fall
Their mind was innocent and uncorrupted, after the fall, their mind become corrupted, made them felt shameful and hid from God
Did God asked Adam to choose helper among the animals?
Can animals talked during Adam's time. Since the snake talked
Did satan entered the snake?
God planted the tree of life and tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the middle of the garden. Could Adam and Eve eat from the tree of life?
Adam n Eve can eat any tree (including the tree of life), accept the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 2:9, Gen 2:16-17
Why God didn't want us to have the knowledge of good and evil?
If Adam and Eve ate from the tree of life, they didn't need salvation.
Did God curse Adam when He cursed the ground?
Before Adam and Eve sinned, they were righteous, they were naked, yet they have no sexual desires, their mind were innocent
When they sinned, they became introspective and saw their nakedness as shameful. When they were righteous mindset, they didn't see nakedness as shameful. Their mindset were changed.
Did God reject Cain or reject the gift?
Cain's wickedness was not overnight. He killed his brother and rudely told God was he his brother's keeper. Jealousy
Matt 23:35, Jesus called Abel righteous and prophet Luke 11:51
Heb 11:4, Pual said Abel was acted by faith, Abel's offering gave evidence that he was righteous, not Abel's action, good work or character
Heb 11:6, faith is evidence of pleasing God
Abel was righteous by faith, God accepted Abel because of his faith.
Cain was wicked and disobedient to God, evidence of his killing and argue with God.
God cursed Adam and He cursed Cain
Why Cain said anyone who saw me will kill me when he was the 3rd person on earth?
Were there other human beings around or was Cain refers to animals?
Cain probably thought way ahead, when more of Adam n Eve children were born, those siblings would avenge Abel
Adam and Eve could have given birth to many daughters, but daughters mostly not mentioned. The daughters might also avenge Abel
Gen 4:7, this also explained how Cain found his wife, probably the daughter of Adam and Eve.
“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
Is it not enough for Christ to die on the cross to save us? Must He need to go through the suffering n humiliation?
Take away this bitter cup from me? What is this bitter cup? Must He drink from the bitter cup in order to save us?
- the process of suffering (pain n torment) n humiliation (shame)? A slow pain n shame n torturing death
- the wrath of God temporarily fell on Him? Isaiah 51:17: “Wake up, wake up, O Jerusalem! You have drunk the cup of the LORD’s fury. (Fierce judgement n wrath)
- the fellowship with God was temporarily broken?
- the temporary forseekeness of God, My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?
Bible Promises
Eph 3:20
Now unto him Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
immeasurably (infinitely, exceeding abundantly) more than, above and beyond,
What is God's plan and God's will?
Eph 3
Eph 3:6
And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.
Jer 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Thessalonians 5:16-18 teaches, “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”
You want to know Christ
Phi 3:10
I want to know Christ--yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
The Divine Exchange
For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that *we might be made the righteousness of God in him.* - 2 Corinthians 5:21
*Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us:* for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: -Galatians 3:13
*That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;* that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. -Galatians 3:14
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: *because as he is, so are we in this world.* - 1 John 4:17
Wow! Because of the Finished work of Christ on the cross, these are the Divine Exchanges summed up man 
️
Christ took our sins in exchange for Christ's righteousness in us
Christ redeemed us from curses in exchanged for the exceeding abundant blessings
From the judgement fear of God in exchanged for the perfect love of God
Now we are certain n confidently declare "As Christ is, so are we in this world". Amen!
