HOW DID NOAH KNOW JESUS?

G'day H........,
Q. "How did Noah know Jesus?"

Wow...what a great question!
How ever did Noah know about Someone who lived here 2000 years later?
Noah's grandfather was Methuselah who knew Adam for 243 years and would have known from him that God had promised a Saviour as soon as people disobeyed Him.

Now then.....this is hard for us to get our heads around but Jesus said: "Before Abraham was, I AM."
Jesus is God who had told Noah to build an ark!
The interesting thing is that the ark had only 1 door and Jesus said: "I am the door." 
We know He opened and closed the door for Noah!
Also the Hebrew word for 'pitch' (the ark's waterproofing) is kaphar which is the same word for 'atonement' - the covering of our guilt by the shedding of the blood of Jesus on the cross. When we put our trust in Jesus it is just like Noah and his family going into the ark to be saved from the judgment of the flood.
Maybe they could even read the 'Message in the Stars'.

 
Hi H.......,
Q. "Why did He flood the world if He loves us?"

If we add up the years for the 10 long generations between Adam and Noah we find that God put up with Man's wickedness for 1656 years before He flooded the Earth. What's more, we know that God gave advance warning of 120 years so people had plenty of time to repent. How many people outside of Noah's family listened to him ? NO-ONE!
The Bible says:
"Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without a witness."
During those 1656 years, Adam was alive for 930 years to remind people of their Creator God and 57 years after Adam died, Enoch was taken away by God after 'walking with God' for 300 years.
We also know that fallen angels had corrupted the genetic purity of mankind - but not Noah's family.
There's more to it though...
What happened in the Great Flood is meant to be a warning to us today and that is why we showed you Mr. Deed's models and why full-size Noah's Arks are being built overseas for people to visit. As the Bible says about the Flood:
"The Lord ....is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
Meanwhile this world likes to believe science has proved that not only was there no global flood but there is no God.

 
Hi C......,
Q. "How come some animals are still extinct if Noah took every animal on Earth with him?"

There is no doubt that there was once an Ice Age and this is the result we would expect after a global flood with all the volcanic eruptions that we know occurred.
Possibly long-necked dinosaurs struggled with less oxygen to breathe in the new atmosphere, and certainly there would have been less vegetation for animals to survive on in very cold conditions. What's more, big-game hunters were regarded as heroes so obviously many animals were killed by people, just like today.

I understand there are only about 2000 koalas left in NSW and most of them are on the Mid North Coast.

WAS JESUS WHITE OR BLACK?

G'day guys,
 
Q1. "Was Jesus white or black?"

Not only sisters....but twins!
Okay, you say sorry for racism but I say sorry, He was neither white or black - there is no such thing, there is only one human race; we are all descendants of Adam & Eve plus Noah and his wife.
Racism is an invention of Europeans so that we could treat other people cruelly, especially negroes, Asians and Australian aborigines.
Have you got skin as white as this page?
Do aborigines have totally black skin?
We all have a skin pigment called melanin - some have got more than others. Just like these girls....who are twins!

 
Q2. "If Jesus caught a disease like ebola or cancer would He die?"

Jesus was a human being just like us but without any sin - He never did anything wrong. It was God's plan that Jesus would give His life for us on a cross so that we could be forgiven. No, it would never happen that He would die of disease.

WILL JESUS REVEAL HIMSELF?

Following previous post:http://godspostbox.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/is-ark-still-on-earth.html

Hi .........

Q. "If God made us perfect and now we aren't, how come He won't send Jesus to reveal Himself and won't change us to the way we were meant to be?"

He will send Jesus to reveal Himself - soon!
Will He change us to the way we were meant to be?
Better than that, rather than just being innocent again, those that put their trust in Jesus as their Saviour and Lord are regarded as sons of God who will reign with Him. Not only will we be changed but there will be a new heavens and a new Earth!
Meanwhile this evil world has rejected Jesus and now likes to think scientists have proved God doesn't even exist.
Is God about to give this world a taste of life without Him?
I'm afraid so.

 


Hi ..........,
Q. "Why should we believe God is real?"
Well H......., if God isn't real, neither are you because that is the only way you and I could be here. We are all miracles, we are all unique, we all have a conscience telling us right from wrong, we all know to wear clothes just like God first clothed Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden, and we are all mortal - unless God does something miraculous, we are all going to die, just like God said. Tell me I'm wrong!
Even a person blind from birth, who has never seen the beautiful design of nature, knows God is real.
If you check the Bible you will find it tells us the truth - history confirms the Bible, real Science confirms the Bible, today's news confirms the Bible.... even the survival of the nation of Israel proves God is real! If you're still not convinced why not challenge God to prove Himself to YOU!....but don't forget......when He does, you then have no more excuses.

IS THE ARK STILL ON EARTH?



Q. "Is the ark still on earth in one piece and has it been moved from where it stopped when the flood finished?"

Fair enough...good question!
I understand that something like the shape of a ship was discovered in the Ararat mountains in eastern Turkey but the government has stopped people from getting near it. Of course after 4,300 years it is no longer in one piece and yes it probably has been moved from the original resting place by glacier movement.
You can see the outline of 'the ark' in this picture....
 
Hi Bree,
Q1. "Why did they kill Jesus? It's not fair."
Yeah, it sure is not fair - in fact, it is the greatest miscarriage of justice in all history!
Jesus was not only judged to be innocent by the Roman governor but He was the only sinless person ever and He had devoted His life to helping others and healing everybody. They killed Him out of jealousy, because He spoke the truth and because He wouldn't get rid of the Roman soldiers.

Q2. "How can you be born again? It is impossible."
When anybody decides to accept God's offer of forgiveness by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ they become so different that they are like a new person. Just like Jesus described the wind..."Where's it come from? where's it going?"...so we can't explain how God changes a person. He just does it!
They are now 'born again'! It happened to the lady whose funeral I have just come from - she finally accepted Jesus as her Saviour and Lord on the day before she died in Wauchope Hospital and immediately became so peaceful. Yes!!!

WHY DO WE HAVE APE-LIKE FEATURES?

Following previous post:
http://godspostbox.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/okaywhat-about-cavemen.html


G'day..........

You asked: "Why do we have ape-like features?"
If you listen to some people they will tell you that shows we evolved from apes. If you go by the Bible it says we have a common Creator, who used common design features.
Who to believe?...people who weren't there to see it happen or God who was there to make it happen?
Let me assure you, God has no problem with us checking everything out, in fact He wants us to, so we need to ask:
- where are the missing links (i.e. transitional fossils)?
- is apes to man possible genetically?

- is it happening today? If not, why not?

- and what about that conscience that we have?


Actually they're now saying there is only a 74% exact alignment between the human genome and the chimpanzee genome.

Here's an example:
We have 2 cars in our garage, both with petrol engine, 4 wheels, tinted windows all around, 1 RH drive steering wheel, 5 seats, carpet, aircon, .....
Are they both from the same factory assembly-line?
Of course not! The VW Golf is a turbo'd 7 speed auto hatch with leather seats, worth maybe 20 times the 1993, 5 gear manual 2 -door BMW with cloth seats. They have common design features but are quite different when you look closer.
Get it mate?......LOOK CLOSER! 



You were asking about the gods of various religions such as Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. My job is just to teach you guys from the Bible, while you would probably know as much or more than me about these religions. Real Christianity is not so much a religion but a relationship - with Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord.
 
Does 'Allah' in a muslim's Koran sound like the real God of the Bible, who came here as Jesus to save the world?.....not to kill but to suffer for us.

The first Buddha was Siddhartha Gautama, who left his wife and child to become 'enlightened' - by ignoring suffering.

Hindus believe in many gods in nature and believe that after being recycled by 'reincarnation' you eventually become 'god' too.
An atheist is someone who says he believes God doesn't exist, while the Bible says:
"The fool has said in his heart: There is no God."
Later on it says:
"For since the Creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse..."
This stuff is not rocket science - children get it better than us grown-ups do, just like Jesus said.  So we need to open our eyes then think, hey!...that's why I publish under the name: 'IOPNA' (eye-opener).
