    God doesn't lie...

  • 8 years ago

    God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Num 23:19 (KJV)

    What is a "man"?

    So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him Gen 1:27 (KJV).

    What is the image of God?

    God is a Spirit: John 4:24 (KJV)

    What is "a son of man"?

    male and female created he them. Gen 1:27 (KJV)

    God first created the spirits called man from his own Spirit, than those spirit God created God created flesh bodies for them which made those spirit either MALE or FEMALE, but the true life was spirit.

    Together the spirit and the flesh MADE a new spirit called a living spirit also known as a SOUL.

    What is the Hebrew word for the English word "MAN"

    Now understand who it is that was put inside who, or who was it that was made from the earth, and who it was put inside that which was made from the earth and finally who it was that made these things in Genesis 2:7.

    Who was it that told of these things and you now knowing that these things where twisted and mixed with both lies and truth, also know who it was that gave these words to him that told them.

    Say their names out loud, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

    No lies. Jesus was sent to fulfill the law & prophesy for Israel (Jews) which are Gods chosen people. These are the people God established His covenant with. Jesus & His disciples walked all over Israel. It wasn't until after Jesus was crucified, resurrected & transended before He met Saul on the road to Damascus & eventually sent him to the gentiles. Saul's name was changed by the Lord to Paul & he was the apostle to the gentiles. (That's us.)

    What version are you reading? Jesus was sent to the lost house of Israel, that is ALL the sons of the man named Israel. Judah is only one of those tribes of Israel. Judah and the other tribes are currently separated, so the other tribes are usually called the tribes of Israel. So, if your version says "jews" it is REALLY missing the point. God's covenant was with the tribes of Israel when Jesus walked this earth. When Jesus fulfilled Scripture in laying down His flesh life on the cross, God was keeping His Word, though Israel had broken their side of the agreement, (Hebrews 9). Laying down His life, Jesus opened up the offer of salvation to all people 'whosoever believeth in Him' regardless of genealogy or nationalities, (John 3:14-21)

    The Israelites were chosen to be servants to God. Each tribe has a job to do, though many of the tribes do not even know who they are right now. God said this would happen. Deuteronomy 32:26

    Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie ; neither the son of man, that he should repent : hath he said , and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken , and shall he not make it good?

    Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

    Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said , I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying , Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said , It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said , Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt . And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

    Genesis 35:10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

    Genesis 35:23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: 24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: 26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.

    Genesis 49: All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

    John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up : 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved . 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. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved . 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest , that they are wrought in God

    If God doesn't lie, I guess he's telling the truth.
