Col. 2:21 (KJV)
(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Col. 2:18-22
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels,
intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, [19] And not holding the Head, from
which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
[20] Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though
living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, [21] (Touch not; taste not; handle not; [22] Which all are to perish with
the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
The flesh
can place burdens onto a Christian, which can weigh one down and robe all the joy from an individual.
Even Tithing
can become an ordinance to where one is; judged by another as; to whether you are a Christian.
God loves
a cheerful giver.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not
grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
God wants you first not what you own. He does not need your wealth;
He owns the whole world and everything in it.
Behold,
the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children
ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
That is like telling your children that to have a loving relationship with you they need
to tithe into your bank account.
The Pharisee has Tithed, and fasted twice a week, yet they miss the mark altogether, and was good
at giving advice.
Jesus said it is ok to do as they say...Just do not do as they do.
All
therefore, whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe, and do; but do not after their works: for they say, and do not.
I guess this is a little off the course of Explaining the value of the Baptism with the
Holy Ghost, but all these traditions that men and women though at you can alter the experience that you should be experiencing
with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.
We; are sidetracked, and go down the wrong road, only to fine that we have to turn around, and head
back to where we started.
Paul had that situation where he had to do the first ordnances over again in some of
the churches:
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again
which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
We need to become mature, and strong, and not go back as some have, and have to do the
first oracles over. That is, repenting, and being; baptized.
Among Christians; what is needed is; accountability. Among Christians, and growing up:
being adults.
Ephes. 4:15 (KJV)
But speaking the truth in love,
may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
God
wants you, and I to become teachers.
The
sins of jeroboam was; that anyone; could be a priest.
Today
anyone can become a priest.
We
have seen in the news where priest; who have crept into the priesthood; that are child molesters, and among other things:
perverts.
They
have another name for it, I call them perverts.
These
are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water,
carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
In the last days there will become a falling away and false teachers
will be heaped up....meaning that there will many, many of them.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall
not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but
after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Are
we in that time now? I do believe that we have been in that time for some time now.
Falling
away can mean that though the churches are filled to capacity they will not hear the truth and will believe a lie and be dammed.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie:
There
is nothing, in my opinion, than being deceived.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying,
I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Getting back to Tongues of Fire: When we have the Spirit inside of us we will not be
deceived for we will know his voice:
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [27] My sheep
hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
The
anointing makes the difference. God anoints his ministers to preach the Gospel:
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good
tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening
of the prison to them that are bound;
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to
set at liberty them that are bruised,
God
from the time that Adam, and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden, placed a flaming sword there. Keeping the disobedient,
who refuse to obey his commandants, from having access to God the Father; through their fleshly body’s
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither
doth corruption inherit incorruption.
The very first Commandant that is recorded in the bible, Satan challenged
it. He, Satan did not challenge God in person, but approached the very one that God himself created in the very likeness of
God. As we can see here when the prophet wrote;
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
I
will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Here was his chance to be like the Most High. God had made man in his
image and man was like God.
Satan wanted to be in Man, and have dominion among the flesh,
and offered to Eve the right to become her own god. He told her;
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.
And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And
the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: [3] But of the fruit of the tree which
is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [4] And the
serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Here he is promising her eternal security, Satan came to the woman that God created there
in the Garden, today he comes to Gods children and he is still promising eternal security. He still says today, that no matter
how much you sin you are secure in God. The bible says that the soul that sins shall die:
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify
the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
When Satan deceived Eve there in the Garden she in turn Gave to Adam
and convinced that the security was just as good for him and convinced him to believe that he can live after the flesh...this
was what he wanted to accomplish.
Satan inhabited the flesh through the fallen man and became the God
of the flesh to all those who reject God and refuse to listen to the voice of God .
Today we too; are standing in the same place; that Adam and
Eve stood.
God has taken us, and placed us in a Garden, and has watered
it everywhere.
God has told us to take care of the vineyard; that he gave
us, and today through the flesh; Satan; through the messenger tells us to go ahead, and sin, and disregard the commandants
of God ,and that no matter; we are not going to die.
Many are defiled thereby; Isaiah 59:3 (KJV)
For your hands
are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
1 Cor. 11:30 (KJV) For this cause many are weak and sickly among
you, and many sleep.
Adam and Eve gave birth to what is called the seed of Satan and she said that
she had gotten a man from the Lord; I ask the question: What Lord? The Lord or The God of this world had then taken the likeness
of God and in the flesh started to fight against the God of Heaven and rose up and Killed that Righteous Seed that God had
Left in the Earth. After that he was confronted by the Lord and was asked; Where is thy Brother?;
And
the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
He Lied for one thing, and then he covered it with an excuse
that he was not his brother’s keeper.
In other words;
I do not care where he is.
He in essence had challenged God, and let God know that he;
totally did not regard what God thought, and was not interested in what God thought, and wanted.
What he wanted, anyone, or anything; that got in his way;
was to be done away with.
We here can see the disregard for human life, and can see
why those who abort the unborn child thinks.
They do not have time for them, and they are not; in their
opinion, responsible for their actions, in getting pregnant.
They want to have their own desires of the flesh, and lusts,
and do not regard what God has created, and have in essence; made themselves: God.
Took upon themselves to; justify themselves; in any actions
that they think is appropriate.
It is no wonder; the Beast is in the world today.
He has been there since the first son of Adam was born.
This is why that the flesh has to be done away with. Satan is Death
and the last enemy that is to be destroyed id death.1 Cor. 15:26 (KJV) The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Since
Satan took the residence of this world in; the children of disobedience, and Jesus defeated him ( Death ) on the Cross-.
Satan
knows that his time is short, and he is out to persecute all those who believe, and receive Christ as their savior.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: [2] And she being with child cried, travailing
in birth, and pained to be delivered. [3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. [4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,
and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to
devour her child as soon as it was born. [5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a
rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. [6] And the woman fled into the wilderness,
where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. [7] And
there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8]
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out
with him. [10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our
God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and
night. [11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives
unto the death. [12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and
of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. [13]
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
[14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where
she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. [15] And the serpent cast out of
his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [16] And the earth
helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. [17]
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments
of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Here we can see what took place at the Cross of Calvary:
The woman was the old testament Church that had followed after by faith, such as Abraham and all those that is mention in
the Eleventh Chapter of Hebrews and had come to the Fullness of time:
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of
the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing
of time.
But
when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together
in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Christ was to be the End of the Law to The Commandants of Offering for sins with the sacrifices
of Bull and Goats.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that
believeth.
There had to be of supreme nature a better sacrificial offering made
to redeem the lost creation to God the Father.
The law was; not able to deliver humankind back into the fellowship
of the Father, and a better sacrifice was made, when Christ; who was made under the law:
But
when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
The Law is for trucebreakers:
Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
The Law is not against the Promised of God.
It only confirms what God said that no Flesh should be justified by the Law:
But
that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Without
Faith it is Impossible to please God:
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe
that he is, and that he is a re-warder of them that diligently seek him.
What
is the reward that God the Father gives to his children.
Adam and Eve had this relationship in the Garden of Eden. The greatest reward, Or Crown.
is his Word, His Word is given to those who believe on him. God wants to speak face to face with us today
as he spake in times past to those fathers who listened to his voice .Then and now; God wants to not only
speak to us, but he wants and intimate relationship with us. How would you feel if you had created a living soul
and breathed your breath into his nostrils and then having walked with him in paradise, Then only to see that one whom You
have created turn away from you, and turn to another God, and then when you call unto him, he hides from your presence, and
avoids you. God had that relationship in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, God wanted the Whole Earth filled with his
presence. I am sitting here thinking if I were the father, I guess I would be heartbroken and would hang down my head a weep.
I do not know how he, Yes I do know, He is God; He is Love: and his ways is past finding out;
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are
his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
No
wonder the apostle wrote:
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if
they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.
Amen.
So how can I sit here and write down on paper the magnificent Acts of
God and his Actions toward his creation. My infinite mind cannot and will not be able to begin to pen the Honor that he deserves.
I can only through my Crown at his feet and Cry, Worthy Is The Lamb, For thou only is Worthy, For thou hast redeemed us to
God the Father:
The four and twenty elders fall down before
him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Rev. 4:11 (KJV) Thou art worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
We can clearly see that it was God’s Pleasure to have created the man and Woman
that is Called Adam and Eve. How Beautiful they must have been. How Beautiful Satan must have been with all his adorning that
God gave to him.
When we are tempted today with the things that are in the world.
Like Jesus; He too was tempted by Satan.
Jesus was taken up to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of this world in
a moment of time.
The God of this world: Satan said all this I will give to thee, if thou will worship me.
How many times we have been taken up into an high mountain: maybe it is a position, of maybe it
is a preacher; who would like to be exalted far above his familiars.
Have Satan to tell us; you
just listen to me, and follow me, and I will make you great.
All you have to do is change the truth: sugar coat it, and curse the children of God
,
Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me:
peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou
blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
Behold,
there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be
able to overcome them, and drive them out. [12] And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse
the people: for they are blessed.
For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest
unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram,
out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. [8] How shall I curse, whom God hath
not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?
And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies,
and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou
mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
And
Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou
mayest curse me them from thence.
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands
together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them
these three times.
There is a lot of Balak’s in this
world today, who, will follow the advice of Satan and curse the people of God.
What a Problem that God had to deal with
in the Garden of Eden and that problem has been in the world every since the beginning of time.
We have overcome the Devil when Christ,
who hang there on the cross, Shed his blood for us.
All the Devils and Demons That could be
mustered up were there when Christ died on the Cross.
Satan had made one mistake when he caused
Adam and Eve to fall; He made the biggest mistake when he tried to Kill Jesus. you see he did not take his life. Just like
Satan wanted Job’s life, and everything that he had.
He wanted to take everything away from God,
and when he Crucified the Lord; he Just put the Gun to his head, and blew away all his hopes, and now all he wants to do is
persecute those who have the testimony of Jesus:
And
the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God,
and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
He knows that he has only a short time: His Sentence has been pronounced
upon him. His destination is Hell.
Therefore
rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down
unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Is
the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily
righteousness should have been by the law.
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and
offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the
law, then Christ is dead in vain.
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the
law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for
by the law is the knowledge of sin.
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be
justified by the law of Moses.
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of
God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
(For
many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Little
children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are
of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
From the beginning God:
Sunday June 16 2002:
Job 42:12-17
So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand
camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. [13] He had also seven sons and three daughters. [14]
And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
[15] And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance
among their brethren. [16] After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even
four generations. [17] So Job died, being old and full of days.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord,
and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. [2] And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou?
And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth,
and from walking up and down in it. [3] And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered
my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth
evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. [4] And
Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. [5] But put forth thine
hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. [6] And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold,
he is in thine hand; but save his life.
[7] So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils
from the sole of his foot unto his crown. [8] And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the
ashes.
[9] Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and
die. [10] But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand
of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
[11] Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they
came everyone from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made
an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. [12] And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and
knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent everyone his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads
toward heaven. [13] So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him:
for they saw that his grief was very great.
And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to
bury his father, after he had buried his father.
[15] And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will
peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him. [16] And they sent a messenger unto
Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, [17] So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now,
the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the
servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. [18] And his brethren also went and fell down
before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. [19] And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place
of God? [20] But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day,
to save much people alive. [21] Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them,
and spake kindly unto them.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth,
and daughters were born unto them, [2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them
wives of all which they chose. [3] And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh:
yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. [4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bear children to them, the same became mighty men which were
of old, men of renown.
[5] And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and
that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And it repented the Lord that he had made
man on the earth, and it grieved him
at his heart. [7] And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth
me that I have made them.
And
Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed
instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began
men to call upon the name of the Lord.
This
is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. [2] And on the
seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. [3]
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and
made.
[4] These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created,
in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, [5] And every plant of the field before it was in the earth,
and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a
man to till the ground. [6] But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. [7] And the
Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
soul.
[8] And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom
he had formed. [9] And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for
food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. [10] And a river went
out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. [11] The name of the first is
Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; [12] And the gold of that land is good:
there is bdellium and the onyx stone. [13] And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole
land of Ethiopia. [14] And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And
the fourth river is Euphrates. [15] And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to
keep it. [16] And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] But of
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die.
[18] And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him
an help meet for him. [19] And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air;
and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the
name thereof. [20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for
Adam there was not found an help meet for him. [21] And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and
he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; [22] And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man,
made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. [23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. [24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and
shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. [25] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and
were not ashamed.
