I want to ask sir why Female are called daughters of men and not of God as male were called in the verse below.

Genesis 6:2

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Thanks sir

If old testament was perfect or in order there would be no need for jesus to come and correct it.





Bless you.

I was happy reading the question, and for bringing this question to the fore, before the world as many Christians(even some pastors,churches are not spared) has misinterpreted and twisted this particular bible verse thereby leading many brethen,sistren astray.

Now, I shall go straight to the point and answer your question without delay :

Now, in as much as God believes and want us to work hard and leave no room for laziness be informed that this bible verse has nothing to do with physical hand-work or endeavors. The lord was referring to the ' work " in this regard as ' action ".

Now, here what the bible says about Faith :

◄ Romans 10:17 ►
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

◄ 2 Corinthians 5:7 ►
for we walk by faith, not by sight.

◄ Hebrews 11:1 ►
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

The answer is ; now, if faith cometh by hearing and it's invisible, For how then can we live by faith,hope in him,and claim to have accepted the word ; ' what we received through the word of faith,and have hope in his promises and believe in the existence of our lord jesus we see not, if we don't live by "work " :?.. his words in actions,hope,doing,deeds and lead by example of our lord jesus christ,physically?

Meaning,in a nutshell, the " word " without ' work " ; practice or action " is useless ".

And that's why jesus clarified the message here :

◄ Matthew 7:24 ►
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.


Observe the word " practice " above? Well,thats the suppose " work ". as another word for "practice" means ; exercise ' or to " Practicalize " or exhibit " or engage in "physical activity" all is equals to : practice or work ".

Now, again ;


◄ Luke 8:11:15 ►
11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Also, the emboldened is the doer of the word as well because by embracing the word' wholeheartedly it becomes a part of you,you live by it in words' actions, deeds '-by faith.


Bless you.

1. Answer :


No amount of [human] wisdom, knowledge,science,technology,justification,advancement can/dare question the ways of God, can comprehend,unravel or stand shoulder to shoulder with lord and his ways,will

Bible reference, taken from the book of :

◄ Genesis 11:4-8 ►
Then they(mankind) said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth."But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city."


31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord .


2. Answer ;



Bravery,weapon,wisdom,knowledge,and being skillful at the forefront of war doesn't guaranteed safety or victory it's the lord shall gives victory and fight battles successfully

Bible reference :Judges 6:36-7:23
36 Gideon said to God, “If you really intend to use me to deliver Israel, as you promised, then give me a sign as proof. 37 Look, I am putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece, and the ground around it is dry, then I will be sure that you will use me to deliver Israel, as you promised.” 38 The Lord did as he asked. When he got up the next morning, he squeezed the fleece, and enough dew dripped from it to fill a bowl. 39 Gideon said to God, “Please do not get angry at me, when I ask for just one more sign. Please allow me one more test with the fleece. This time make only the fleece dry, while the ground around it is covered with dew.” 40 That night God did as he asked. Only the fleece was dry and the ground around it was covered with dew.


◄ Deuteronomy 20:4 ►
For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."

1. What is the meaning of water and blood as its used sir?

1 john 5:6-8

This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.


2. What are the sins unto death and sins not unto death according to the verse of the same book?

16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

Thanks sir

1. Blood ; As we all know " Blood" represent " life " . That is,the life in the flesh.


2. Water ; As in baptism, power of resurrection,holy spirit,the life beyond,or soul, most importantly, holy spirit.

That's why jesus couldn't fulfilled his calling until he was baptized, here :

◄ Luke 3:21-22 ►
When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."

I believe,the symbol of water,as in baptize in water,is cleared?

In a nutshell, jesus came in form of ( blood) flesh but he was never and would never be flesh but ( water ; Spirit) but the spirit may come, witness and experience the flesh(blood), he came in form of flesh/blood hence the holy came was with him throughout so as the bear witness, as quoted in your bible verse,above, and I quote you :

Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

So you see? He's spirit, but he came not by blood/flesh only but also by water ; ..which is the spirit that bereath witness because, the spirit is what...? The trust. Truth is what? Holy spirit, holiness, God et al.





Second question : [b]What are the sins unto death and sins not unto death?

• Sin against the holy spirit : sin unto Death.

• Sin against the father and son : Sin not unto death.

Why, because, father, son are full of compassion and mercy.

Why the holy spirit ; violent, fierce and almighty.

Who's this holy spirit? Well, the lord anger, son anger".

That is why the bible says :


◄ James 2:13 ►
There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.

This is why the bible verse you quoted above said :

If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

NB : .. "I do not say that he will pray for it," but(confess) run to thy brother that thy had sinned against, or unto God because it's not unto death,there is still life, hope for restoration before death.


And it was complemented here, and I quote :


◄ Matthew 5:23 ►
"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you,
leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift


Understood?
