What Does the Bible Say About Born Again?
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore
The two Marys, plus a third person, Salome Luke 24:10: When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. Dionysus, the Greek god and son of Zeus, was also born December 25th of a virgin mother, healed the sick, turned water to wine and was resurrected from death to save mankind
BLB - Jhn 3: Gospel of John 3 (Blue Letter Bible: KJV - King James Version)
Jhn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Jhn 3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him
God's Promises to Abraham (Forerunner Commentary) - Bible Tools
Paul here is beginning to explain that physical lineage is not relevant where God's calling is concerned, because under the New Covenant only God can give the summons (John 6:44), and if He summons a Gentile, it is just as valid as if He gave it to an Israelite. God resurrects them to meet Christ in the air with the 143,998 others who form the bride and government of Christ, the mother for the rest of humanity, who will then have the opportunity for salvation in their order
Abraham, Sarah and Isaac (Preschool Bible Lesson about Patience)
Have any of you ever gone camping? (allow for responses) What do you stay in when you camp? (allow for responses) Some people have a tent that they stay in. Read the verses (story) again, but this time have the children join you in doing the following hand motions: Abram or Abraham: stand up tall Sarai or Sarah: smile sweetly children, child, son: acting like you are rocking a baby star: make blinking motions with fingers father: stand up tall mother: smile sweetly Discuss the Bible Reading: When you are finished reading the story the second time, ask the children the following questions so that you can know they understood it
Genesis 12:1-3 - The Promises of God To Abraham
Hebrews 11:11-12 11By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. 1:9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: 1:10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude
Genesis 48:15 Then he blessed Joseph and said, "May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,
The singular verb suggests to Luther the reflection that the writer "conjungit in uno opere benedicendi tres personas, Deum Patrem, Deum Pastorem, et Angelum," from which he draws the obvious conclusion, "aunt igitur hi tres unus Deus et unus benedictor." And let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; - literally, and my name and the name of my fathers shall be named in them, i.e. Genesis 48:16 with Genesis 49:18) and by Job (Job 19:21) to describe the Divine Rescuer who had delivered them from ill both temporal and spiritual, and who was to complete his emancipating work by ultimately ransoming them from the power of the grave
Abraham Lincoln, Why Did He Die
(Upon his election, among other things, he appointed an unpopular collector of customs at New York, whereupon the two Senators from New York--Roscoe Conkling and Thomas Platt--resigned their seats.) President Garfield openly declared that whoever controls the supply of currency would control the business and activities of all the people. However, when I had the opportunity to have lunch with Otto von Habsburg,15 Member of the European Parliament, he made two remarks that caught my attention
Hebrews 7:2To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; See All... Therefore, Melchizedek must be superior to Abraham, since the less is blessed of the better (Hebrews 7:7And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better
Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son,
It does not, of course, follow that the transaction was not typical of Christ, or that the writer does net so regard it; we are only considering what his language fit itself implies. This temptation or trial respects the command given by God to Abraham, to offer up his son Isaac; which lays no foundation for a charge against God, either of sin or cruelty; for God's will is the rule of justice and goodness, and whatever he requires is just and good; and though his creatures are bound by the laws he prescribes them, he himself is not: besides, he is the Lord of life, the giver and preserver of it; and he has a right to dispose of it, and to take it away, when, and by what means, and instruments, he thinks fit; to which may be added, that the secret will of God was not that Isaac should die, but a command was given to Abraham to offer him up, for the trial of his faith and love; this was a temptation of probation, not of seduction, or to sin, as are the temptations of Satan; for God tempts no man with sin
Her elegant hand points to the boy and seems to ask 'Why? How could this have happened to one so innocent?' The angel, hovering with its foot outstretched behind it, has no answer, but points to the water that will save the child. He was influenced by Tintoretto, and used powerful, almost monumental figures, luxuriously colored, to make an impact and focus the viewer on a central moment in the story
HAGAR in the BIBLE: Sarah's slave, Abraham's concubine
What this 'humbling' entailed we do not know, but it was severe enough to drive Hagar away, fleeing from the relative safety of the tribe out into the bleak landscape. The question was, who would be Abraham's heir: the first-born son, or the son of the principal wife? This was a question that would surface continually to plague Israel throughout its history
The Bible claims that Sarah (Isaac's mother) was Abraham's biological sister.
Let us read the following story about Abraham, Sarah and King Abimelech from Genesis 20:1-14 in the NIV Bible to see the clear proof that Sarah was indeed Abraham's biological sister in the Bible: Genesis 20 1 Now Abraham moved on from there into the region of the Negev and lived between Kadesh and Shur
Interpretation can also be affected by both what you already think is in the text and what you would like to find in the text (translation can be affected by this too, but there is usually much less scope for it). Which requires moving on from John 8:58 to deal with a more difficult verse: John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed
What Does the Bible Say About Abraham?
Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five. Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites
