Amazing Ancient Manuscripts Confirm the Genesis Account of Creation

There are amazing discoveries in ancient manuscripts that confirm the teaching that God created the heavens and the earth and how He did it. The earliest of writings are the Sumerian cuneiform writings found in ancient Mesopotamia. There are classes a person can take to read the tablets. The language is known as Akkadian. It is so exciting to go back as far as the earliest written language and discover that they too have an account of Noah’s flood. It may not be word for word as in Genesis but the timing and the writings do not conflict. There is a lexicon that can be downloaded online for free if you are interested in doing some translation to read some of the ancient texts for your self. Although you could just skip it and read the English versions but then what would be the fun or challenge in that? http://www.sumerian.org/sumerian.pdf. You can just download it to your desk top. While though I may not agree with all the Genesis account written into the Epic of Gilgamesh. I do find it interesting. I don’t have to believe everything I read. I can as a rational being with intelligence though glean some important facts that validate Biblical experiences and add to my knowledge bank.

Personally, if a pastor cannot read at least the Greek New Testament from the original text or interpret it then he is not worth my time. I want to know more and more about the text in its original language. My opinion counts though where I am concerned and personally I vote with my feet when I feel my valuable time is being wasted. It takes a while to dress and do my hair and drive some place on a weeknight or Sunday. So in the words of the New Testament Writer….I want to make my calling and election sure. I am not going to rely on anyone else to tell me what I need to do to be saved. I want to make sure it lines up with the Bible and I want to read it for myself. I am not wasting my valuable time or life based on opinion. I need hard facts.

“ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:10 & 11

Is Jesus, Jehovah? YES!

Hello Friends,

If one were to follow the verses given below one would hopefully receive the revelation that Jesus is Jehovah. Jehovah is coming in the beginning verses with phrases describing himself. Those same phrases are used in reference to Jesus proving they are one and the same.

King James Bible

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” Revelation 21:6

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 12 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last (Is 44:6).” Revelation 22:12-13

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:20

The verses above are stating Jesus is coming as "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." As Jehovah is described.


“Thus saith the LORD (Jehovah) the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD (Jehovah) of hosts; I am the first, and I am ​the last; and beside me there is no God.” Isaiah 44:6


New World Translation

I am the Al´pha and the O·me´ga,” says Jehovah God, “the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

And he said to me: “They have come to pass! I am the Al´pha and the O·me´ga, the beginning and the end. To anyone thirsting I will give from the fountain of the water of life free. Revelation 21:6

Look! I am coming quickly, and the reward I give is with me, to render to each one as his work is. 13 I am the Al´pha and the O·me´ga, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Revelation 22:12-13

“He that bears witness of these things says, ‘Yes; I am coming quickly.’” “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:20


“This is what Jehovah has said, the King of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, ‘I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God. Isaiah 44:6


In Jesus,

Scientific Proof of the Scripture text that Two Become One Flesh!

This is a very informative video which gives scientific proof of what the word means in Genesis and Corinthians about One flesh. Watch it through and consider what it means.

(Gen 2:24 [KJV])
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

(1Cor 6:15 [KJV])
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

(1Cor 6:16 [KJV])
What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

(1Cor 6:17 [KJV])
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

(1Cor 6:18 [KJV])
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

(1Cor 6:19 [KJV])
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;” Ephesians 4:11

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: ​14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even ​Christ:” Ephesians 4:12-15

The church of today must have apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers! Prophets and apostles are still for today! Last Sunday, an evangelist ministered in our church meeting. Dana and I are both pastor- teacher. In other words, Dana is called to be both a pastor and a teacher.
