My Journey from Genesis to Revelation
gmik:
;D :D Dear One, been there and done that too!!!
Anyone ever read the Chronological Bible...thats hard to get thru...I couldn't make it past a few pages.
daywalker:
DENNIS: Thanks! I remember EVERY SINGLE WORD........ just kidding :D .... You know I find myself continually amazed whenever I read the bible of all the things that pop out at me which go against the "church" doctrines that there are so many Christians out there who have read all these verses and not seen the Truth. But this only goes to show just how good God is at keeping the blind, blind and only opening the eyes of whom He wants to see. I feel so blessed just knowing what I know! I don't deserve to know...
DAVE: Yeah, Number was tough. Leviticus even tougher though.
JOEL: I've read all the books of the bible multiple times, but never before from start to finish. I hear what your saying too. I thank God every day for eSword as so often I've had a verse pop in my head or part of a verse and if it weren't for eSword I probably would still be looking for them.
MMIJARES: Believe it or not, I did read them. A bit exhausting, but I didn't want to be accused of "cheating". LOL
ARC: I enjoy your words of wisdom and tid-bits that you leave here and there throughout the forum. ;)
MARQUES: Thanks bro! Funny thing I'm noticing as I read through the books of the bible more and more, I find a few verses that I knew already, but didn't realize they were in the same chapter...or sometimes part of the same passage or sentence! It makes me laugh a little...
ONELOVEDREAD: Hahaha, I totally hear ya! There's a few books that I've wanted to read but have been putting them off because I was determined on completing this mission.
GMIK: Ya, that definitely was a hard one! :)
Thanks everyone! For the record, I didn't just gloss over the whole book; I took notes.... Lots! Ironically, several notes I took were ones I had already written down in the past but forgot. I would come along a verse and think "wow! I never saw that verse before!" But then later when I went to add it to my notes folder on my computer, I saw that I HAD already seen it, and taken notes on it, but forgot! I guess I've been learning a bit TOO MUCH, having a hard time organizing it all! LOL

Hi Daywalker,
I had a PM conversation with Kat about this one time. As I told her, I used to hate reading the Bible. I liked the stories, but the "so-and-so beget so-and-so, had so many sons and daughters, lived so many years" to infinity and beyond parts, or the diameters of the Temple, the Ark, or the Ark of the Covenant were an excellent cure for Insomnia.
After coming to the Truth, I suddenly find myself reading those very parts with captured interest. I never saw these verses before (for example):
Psa 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. [The word "good" is not supposed to be in there.]
Prov 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
If that doesn't fly in the face of "free will," I don't know what else would. I read right over those verses before. Just goes to show that whomever He has made blind will stay blind until He decides to give sight.

Hey John,
What's even more amazing is when you present these two and several other simple, straight-forward verses to "free-willers" they basically deny that they are true! One time I used Paul's conversion as a perfect example of God overcoming man's free will and the person told me that I couldn't use Paul as an example because he was an exception! ??? I responding with the question, so basically are you saying that Paul didn't have a free will? This email conversation was over a year ago, and I'm still waiting for an answer.........
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
If Christians only knew how hopelessly enslaved they are by the Babylonian System that falsely teaches them they are free! :(

It is a blessing reading all your posts! Love you and bless you all!
I have been promissing myself another Genesis to Revelation journey for last two decades of my life, but the truth is BT has put the spanner into the works ;D. The big picture is still being adjusted :o ... Just read Isaiah 40 - 45, and wow, what a Yahweh! Finally it is all making sense! PTL.
