How is carbon dating done?
Carbon
dating is based on the assumptions of man. Personally, every time I
have attempted to assume that something in God's Word was incorrect -
time and time again, God has proven to me that He is right and I am
wrong. I've learned my lesson. Jesus Christ is Lord. Jesus Christ is
Righteous (always right). The Word of God is Truth. Live by Christ and
you will never go wrong. Proverbs 3:5-6

Meat of God or Bread of Life
This Lord's word explained bible study document will be the Meat of God or Bread of Life. I will show you that often when Jesus is talking about meat, he is referring to doing the work of God as Jesus also wants all of us to do the work of God.
All text taken from the version of the King James Bible.
In John 4:31, Jesus is talking with his disciples and they pray that he should eat. In verse 32, Jesus tells them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. In John 4:34 Jesus saith unto his disciples, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Finish reading John 4:35-38 and refer to the Harvest and Sower in the Parable of the Kingdom and Sower Scriptural Definitions document for help in understanding these verses.
In the above scripture, John 4:34 - "meat" is this case is referring to food or work, and "will of him," is referring to the "will of God" - what God started out to do in the first place, before the serpent/Satan deceived the woman (Eve), and Jesus is to finish the work that God started.
In John 6:51, Jesus said, I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man (or person) eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. - See Heir and Joint-Heir with Christ
Jesus is not talking about cannibolism here, but learning about the Word of God, and believing in the birth of Jesus--that he came to save us from the sins of the world and teaching others. But we must learn to follow the commandments of God. See - Ten Commandments also The Great Commandments.
In John 6:27 Jesus said to his disciples - Labour not for the meat which perisheth (spoils or goes bad), but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. See -Sign, Mark and Seal of God
It goes on with the disciples not understaning yet and they question Jesus about the manna (or bread) the people received from heaven while they were wandering in the desert. And Jesus tells his disciples that Moses did not give them that bread from heaven, but God has given them the true bread from heaven.
John 6:33 - For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. This bread which Jesus is speaking about is himself.- John 6:33
The disciples continue to question Jesus and he said unto them, John 6:35 ... I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. See - Famine / Hunger; The Good Shepherd
As I stated earlier, Jesus is not talking about cannibolism, he is referring to learning, trusting and believing in him (Jesus) and teaching others about God, just as Jesus said in John 4:34 ... My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work
In other words, to teach others about the kingdom of God.

Watch Unto Prayer
Scripture:
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).
"But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer" (1 Peter 4:7 KJV).

Why should we read the Bible / study the Bible?
"All my weak days have a common cause - I have neglected communion with God through my neglect of the Scriptures and prayer. When will I learn?"
~ Paul Washer
Question: "Why should we read the Bible / study the Bible?"
Answer: We should read and study the Bible because it is God's Word to us. The Bible is literally "God-breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16). In other words, it is God's very words to us. There are so many questions that philosophers have asked that God answers for us in Scripture. What is the purpose to life? Where did I come from? Is there life after death? How do I get to heaven? Why is the world full of evil? Why do I struggle to do good? In addition to these "big" questions, the Bible gives much practical advice in areas such as: What do I look for in a mate? How can I have a successful marriage? How can I be a good friend? How can I be a good parent? What is success and how do I achieve it? How can I change? What really matters in life? How can I live so that I do not look back with regret? How can I handle the unfair circumstances and bad events of life victoriously?
We should read and study the Bible because it is totally reliable and without error. The Bible is unique among so-called "holy" books in that it does not merely give moral teaching and say, "Trust me." Rather, we have the ability to test it by checking the hundreds of detailed prophecies that it makes, by checking the historical accounts it records, and by checking the scientific facts it relates. Those who say the Bible has errors have their ears closed to the truth. Jesus once asked which is easier to say, "Your sins are forgiven you," or "Rise, take up your bed and walk." Then He proved He had the ability to forgive sins (something we cannot see with our eyes) by healing the paralytic (something those around Him could test with their eyes). Similarly, we are given assurance that God's Word is true when it discusses spiritual areas that we cannot test with our senses by showing itself true in those areas that we can test, such as historical accuracy, scientific accuracy, and prophetic accuracy.
We should read and study the Bible because God does not change and because mankind's nature does not change; it is as relevant for us as it was when it was written. While technology changes, mankind's nature and desires do not change. We find, as we read the pages of biblical history, that whether we are talking about one-on-one relationships or societies, "there is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9). And while mankind as a whole continues to seek love and satisfaction in all of the wrong places, God—our good and gracious Creator—tells us what will bring us lasting joy. His revealed Word, the Bible, is so important that Jesus said of it, "Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4). In other words, if we want to live life to the fullest, as God intended, we must listen to and heed God's written Word.
We should read and study the Bible because there is so much false teaching. The Bible gives us the measuring stick by which we can distinguish truth from error. It tells us what God is like. To have a wrong impression of God is to worship an idol or false god. We are worshiping something that He is not. The Bible tells us how one truly gets to heaven, and it is not by being good or by being baptized or by anything else we do (John 14:6; Ephesians 2:1-10; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:10-18, 5:8, 6:23, 10:9-13). Along this line, God's Word shows us just how much God loves us (Romans 5:6-8; John 3:16). And it is in learning this that we are drawn to love Him in return (1 John 4:19).
The Bible equips us to serve God (2 Timothy 3:17; Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12). It helps us know how to be saved from our sin and its ultimate consequence (2 Timothy 3:15). Meditating on God’s Word and obeying its teachings will bring success in life (Joshua 1:8; James 1:25). God’s Word helps us see sin in our lives and helps us get rid of it (Psalm 119:9, 11). It gives us guidance in life, making us wiser than our teachers (Psalm 32:8, 119:99; Proverbs 1:6). The Bible keeps us from wasting years of our lives on that which does not matter and will not last (Matthew 7:24-27).
Reading and studying the Bible helps us see beyond the attractive "bait" to the painful "hook" in sinful temptations, so that we can learn from others' mistakes rather than making them ourselves. Experience is a great teacher, but when it comes to learning from sin, it is a terribly hard teacher. It is so much better to learn from others' mistakes. There are so many Bible characters to learn from, some of whom can serve as both positive and negative role models at different times in their lives. For example, David, in his defeat of Goliath, teaches us that God is greater than anything He asks us to face (1 Samuel 17), while his giving in to the temptation to commit adultery with Bathsheba reveals just how long-lasting and terrible the consequences of a moment's sinful pleasure can be (2 Samuel 11).
The Bible is a book that is not merely for reading. It is a book for studying so that it can be applied. Otherwise, it is like swallowing food without chewing and then spitting it back out again—no nutritional value is gained by it. The Bible is God's Word. As such, it is as binding as the laws of nature. We can ignore it, but we do so to our own detriment, just as we would if we ignored the law of gravity. It cannot be emphasized strongly enough just how important the Bible is to our lives. Studying the Bible can be compared to mining for gold. If we make little effort and merely "sift through the pebbles in a stream," we will only find a little gold dust. But the more we make an effort to really dig into it, the more reward we will gain for our effort.

Prayer to stop Bleeding
This is from my friend Betty:
Wanted to share this with you:
Wanted to share this with you:
Growing
up I remember my family talking about a scripture that would stop
bleeding. Of course, my family wasn't the most church-going folks, but
they were God-loving, God-fearing Christians. They were also
superstitious in saying only a man could read the scripture to a woman
and vice versa, which I sincerely doubted. If God put it there, he put
it there for our Faith and anyone who truly believed could use it.After I
came to this area, I remembered to ask Daddy about that scripture. It
is Ezekiel 16:6. (From King James Version:) "And when I passed by thee,
and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou
wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy
blood, Live"I have used it several times over the years saying it with
Faith repeating at least 3 times to stop a heavy nosebleed, etc., and
always, the bleeding stops. Today Heidi sent me a text message asking
for me to share the scripture. Her boyfriend's frail grandmother had a
severe nosebleed and they couldn't stop it. Now you know that Heidi is a
veterinary technician and she definitely knows how to stop bleeding,
(even though Grandma has only 2 legs, not 4)…...but they had no luck and
were about to call 911. I texted them my version of the words (from my
memory)....to both Heidi and Josh's cell phones, saying pray this with
Faith, repeating it at least 3 times and Believe!
5 minutes later, she sent me a text back that the bleeding had completely stopped! Yes, Miracles still happen. That scripture is definitely worth committing to memory. Usually when you need it, it's in a hurry and you don't have time to Google for the scripture, and you don't have to say the words verbatim as long as you have the meaning.

My parents gave me this same scripture. Every time I pray it in faith
it works! My cousin was in the ER with serious bleeding and as soon as
we prayed, she quit bleeding. My dad said as a kid he watched it used
on animals and it worked! I just gave it to a friend whose grandson is
having major internal bleeding. I am believing in faith that now that we
have started praying this over him, he will be healed.
