  • Chris - In Reply on Psalms 100 - 3 years ago
    Hello Betty-Ellen. Psalm 100, a Psalm of Praise by an unknown author, is his declaration of joy & praise as he comes before the LORD in worship. In verse 4, he speaks of entering the gates of the Tabernacle or Temple precinct with thanksgiving and also going further in to the open area in front of the Tabernacle/Temple (the court) with praise. Worship & praise are continually upon his lips as knows the significance of this holy place & where the High Priest meets with God each year.

    Today, those who are saved & in Christ, have bodies indwelled by the Spirit of God ( 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 6:19), & this reminds us that no matter where we are or whatever situation we find ourselves in, we can always talk to God, listen to Him, be comforted by Him & to offer praise & thanksgiving to Him. Certainly, we can also rejoice when entering a Church building preparing ourselves for corporate learning & worship, but we have so much more than those in olden days, where worship of God is not confined in a set aside area, but in response to the Holy Spirit within us causing us to lift our hearts & voices to God always.

    what does it mean that Jesus took away our sin? what is the difference between our sins being covered and our sins being taken away? I hope this makes sense
  • T. Levis - In Reply on Luke 1 - 3 years ago
    Luke 2:25-35 however it didn't say he was a priest

    Luke 1, Jesus relatives were Priests, Luke 1:5 both Elizabeth & Zacharias, note Luke 1:16-17, Luke 1:36-37, Luke 1:76,
  • Ty - In Reply on Psalms 91 - 3 years ago
    Amen Susan!

    Psalm 91 is my favorite scripture!

    I also agree, it works. There is Power in The Word.

    God Bless you and your sister Barbara.

    I conclude Adam and Eve were not created loving the darkness. Nor were they created doing evil deeds. Eve was not created deceived. They were not created with enmity in their hearts toward the light. Emnity only existed in the heart of the serpent toward God,, not man when he first comes on the scene, and this enmity extended to man. His lies are the original source of spiritual darkness, and he practiced deception on Eve to get her to make Adam disobey God. That introduced enmity between the serpent's seed and the seed of the woman who is Christ. Do you say otherwise?

    John 3 presupposes all of scripture is true since "In the beginning". He does not dispute anything Moses wrote, and in fact he makes it perfectly clear from the first words he wrote that Moses testimony is already entered into the record against mankind. Do you dispute that that? I don't.

    Arguing that the reason for the evil condemned in this passage is not attributed to Adam directly is irrelevant, because he has already plainly referenced it before and Chapter 3 cannot be interpreted as though Chapter 1 of his Gospel doesn't exist.

    If man was originally created without darkness in his heart, nor doing evil deeds and in fact literally lacked the knowledge of good and evil, as scripture clearly states in Genesis, how did it come about that mankind in John 3 now practices evil deeds and loves the darkness and hates the light with enmity? The condemnation John is talking about is completely impossible without the enmity of the serpent's seed against the seed of the woman that entered the world through God's curse upon the serpent when Adam and Eve fell.

    You plainly like to take God's words out of context, use them in isolation, and then apply them as though the rest of His word doesn't exist. That is an extremely bad way to interpret scripture.

  • Marke - In Reply on Proverbs 23:18 - 3 years ago
    I was paddled in high school for infractions like being late to class. Those paddling were done in the open with plenty of others watching. Those disciplinary measures did not hurt but helped my development into stable adulthood. But that is not why God was right to command parents to discipline their children.
  • Marke - In Reply on Proverbs 23:18 - 3 years ago
    I expect Christian parents who obey God will possibly face legal action from government officials beholding to human laws that openly defy and contradict God.
  • GiGi again on Exodus 15:2 - 3 years ago
    ... continued

    I wonder what it means for the water to be bitter or sweet? Here, Moses establishes some sort of statue and an ordinance, telling the people that they will not get diseases that the Egyptians had (either referring to the plagues, or disease that normally afflicted the land of Egypt) but only if they heed the voice and listen to commandments of the LORD and keep the statutes. It does not say what the statute and ordinance was that Moses introduced at that time. It is apparent that he is also talking of the giving of the Law that will come later. He must have had knowledge that the Law would be given later, even at this time. Moses calls the LORD: The LORD who heals.

    Next, they travel to Elim, a bountiful oasis with 12 wells and 70 trees. Here the LORD had led them to a place to pasture and water their flocks and abide safely for a while with an abundance of water. Where before, they had found no water and then the bitter water of Marah (with the miraculous change), this place has natural provision of water, shade, and space for the large group to rest, sleep, and have respite. It does not say how long they stayed at Elim. But they were not in danger of the Egyptians anymore and it appeared from any other group. This shows how merciful and benevolent God is, providing what is most needed for the people even though they grumbled and lost faith soon after the Red Sea deliverance.

    And so the Israelites are off on this wilderness journey that should only take a short number of weeks. But they still had much to learn about themselves, about Moses, and mostly about I AM WHO AM before getting to the promised land. It was important to value the LORD more than the land He promised them. The Israelites needed to learn this and so do we.
  • Ty - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Amen, Mishael!

    Your passion for the Lord pokes my coals and your "boots on the ground" approach spurs me into thirst for His Holy Spirit.

    I'm somewhat familiar with part of your background in astrology, from previous posts. Maybe soon I will share part of my testimony. I think you'll get a kick out of it! In a somewhat astrological sense and heavily spiritual in certainty!

    God Bless you brother.

    Keep that candle where we all can see!

  • GiGi on Exodus 15:2 - 3 years ago
    This chapter shows the wonderful Victory Song Moses sand for the people extolling the LORD for delivering them through the Red Sea and destroying the Egyptians that followed in after the Israelites. The song not only praises the LORD, but recounts to God and the Israelites what God had done. This is a good example to us. When we face a situation where there seems to be no way out and the LORD makes a way in a miraculous way, she should stop and take the time on the "other side" to praise God and remind oneself and others what had just happened. This song is a new song, not one the Israelites had sung before. It was current and spoke to their present situation where they are now delivered. Before the crossing, God had told the Israelites that He would fight for them, and He did. The Israelites just needed to follow Moses through the sea on dry land. This took faith since the sea was divided into two extremely high walls on either side of the path. They had to trust that God would maintain the sea in that way until they ALL had made it to the other side.

    Moses also spoke prophetically in this song about the surrounding nations becoming fearful of them when these hear what God has done for the Israelites.

    Miriam took up the song with the women and led them in song and dance. She must have learned the song quickly or else under inspiration. This was a whole group response since the crossing event was experienced by every Israelite.

    After this celebration, the large group set out across the wilderness of Shur. Traveling for three days, they did not find any water along the way, and so the group grumbled to Moses about this. At Marah, there was water but to was too bitter to drink. Instead of bending a knee and seeking the Lord themselves, the Israelites complained. They had not learned yet that they could turn to God themselves and ask for what they needed. Moses placed a tree into the waters and miraculously the water became drinkable.

    Every sinner born into the world will later die because of sin inherited from Adam. That is what the Bible refers to as the first death.

    Revelation 20:6

    Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

    Those who die the second death will die for their own sins, not Adam's.

    Ezekiel 18:20

    The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

    And then there is the law whereby disciplining parents might have to answer to the govt for any type of physical discipline that they receive complaint on. In some cases parents overstep the mark, but the law practically forbids any type of physical discipline.

    Many of us are well into our years & have not escaped the cane, strap or flying shoe when younger. For me, I came out the better for it & gave due respect to my parents (specifically my Mother who was the keeper of the weapons) & learnt to respect elders, teachers & law officers. And much could be said on that subject of many of today's youth in the home, school & society.

    When Jesus returns, we will not just disappear and this is explained in the Old and New Testament. When Jesus returns, the dead will be raised up first, then the living that is in the Book of Life will be caught up with the dead. There isn't a secret rapture or anything of that nature.

    (Not duplicate)

    Meyer's NT Commentary

    Romans 5:13 f. Demonstration, that the death of all has its ground in the sin of Adam, and the causal connection of that sin with death. This argument, conducted with great conciseness, sets out from the undoubted historical certainty (it is already sufficiently attested in Genesis 4-6) that during the entire period prior to the law ( Romans 5:14) there was sin in humanity; then further argues that the death of individuals, which yet has affected those also who have not like Adam sinned against a positive command, cannot be derived from that sin (sin against a positive command) prior to the law, because in the non-existence of law there is no imputation; and allows it to be thence inferred that consequently the death of all has been caused by the sin of Adam (not by their individual sins). Paul however leaves this inference to the reader himself; he does not expressly declare it, but instead of doing so he says, returning to the comparison begun in Romans 5:12 : for in that death-working operation of Adam's sin for all lay, in fact, the very ground of the typical relation to Christ.

    Romans 5:13-21 is all designed to prove the declaration started in Roman's 5:12:

    Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

    Romans 5:13-14 shows that a lack of law couldn't stop the consequences of Adam's sin for mankind and Romans 5:20-21 shows the law only made it worse since in Adam more commands only = more sin. Paul shows Adam as a figure for (Jesus Christ) that was to come ( Romans 5:14) by paired comparisons of Adam and Christ. He gives the differences in the consequences of their acts ( Romans 5:15-17) before returning to what he started in Romans 5:12 that presents the similarities in the consequences of their acts ( Romans 5:18-19). Death/sin from Adam include spiritual death since life/righteousness from Christ includes spiritual life in this passage.

  • Marke - In Reply on Romans 5 - 3 years ago
    Maybe it would help to look at this from a different angle. Let's examine what the Bible says is the reason or are the reasons sinners go to hell.

    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.

    I conclude from the text that God desires to save sinners because He loves them.

    I conclude from the text that God defines condemnation as rejecting the light He sheds on sinners by the Holy Spirit

    I conclude sinners are condemned for refusing to accept the light and refusing to come to the light when drawn by the Holy Ghost.

    Agree?
  • Marke - In Reply - 3 years ago
    No, not all sinners will go to the lake of fire. Just those who reject Jesus when drawn to Jesus by the Holy Ghost. Jesus did remove the curse by His sacrifice for the sin of the world, thereby reconciling the world unto God.

    2 Corinthians 5:19

    To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
  • Donna - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Precious Sister GiGi, How are you feeling today? You're on my heart and ALWAYS on the heart of The Father! Im lifting you up in prayer today. God is SO so good!

    Mark 11:23, Oh Lord, hear our prayers. We're casting mountains into the sea today with our mustard seed faith. Remove all hindrance as we make our petitions known today. Bind up all opposition. Lord heal our diseases, lift our heavy burdens, and save our lost loved ones and most importantly speak Lord, we're listening.

    John 10:27

    We rejoice and give thanks! All of the praise, honor, and glory. You alone are worthy.

    Isaiah 40:31, we're waiting upon You Lord. Renew our strength.

    Hear all that bring their prayers here to the boards seeking a touch from You. We ask You to answer each prayer and be merciful to us all.

    Bless, protect, and strengthen all that are ministering and laboring in the Kingdom today. Help us to give You our all. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

    Marke remember what Jesus said every sinner will have their part in the lake of fire...Every sinner thats everybody...Its simply his baptism of fire that we all soo need...Gotta remember our God is a consuming fire H.G fire..Whom the lord loveth he chastens WHICH IS HIS BAPTISM OF FIRE.... Mal. 3 Who shall abide the day of his coming, who shall stand when he appears..For he shall be as a refiners fire and fullers soap...Impling a cleansing fire...Thats what we need is his judgement...Even in the natural gold has to be tried in the fire to remove all the impurities....our carnal minds etc...Adam's sin nature...That man of sin shall be revealed in the last day....

    ......But do you see b/c of Adam Disobedience we will all get that refiners fire, which is baptism of the H.G and fire A heavenly birth ....That new Creature...the H.G.

    baptism of the H.G. that free Gift...Jesus asked that woman at the well if thou knewest the gift of God ...and who it is that askest of thee to drink...you wd have asked of him etc...Gotta realize that our God is a consuming fire....Which is his judgement

    Its only by the blood of the lamb of God that the curse of Adam is removed...Not by the blood of bulls and goats Moses law....

    When someone tells you that the curse of Adam was removed by Moses law you are eating sour grapes....That can be passed on to the Children..As false Doctrine....Only by the Blood of the lamb can that curse of Adam be removed....Lest our lord shed his blood in vain....
  • Marke - In Reply on Romans 5 - 3 years ago
    Every human ever born has either already died or will die because of Adam's sin. But nobody goes to hell because of Adam's sin. Sinners go to hell for their own sin and that sin is not the sin of ignorance.
