John K. Harper This is a fantastic example of how Jesus christ description of How depending on God ro meet your needs is like sheep depending on the shepherd. Look at the context of Verses 24-31. Also old testament Psalm 23 also Look at Gospel of John Chapter 10:1-16. A very interesting piece of info sheep will not drink water in loud surroundings or eat that's why the psalmist said The lord leadeth to green pastures beside still water. The greatest cargo's in our lives come in when we are listening to the still small voice.

ChrisE When you consider that the Apostle Paul was given everything there was to know by revelation or the spirit showing him concerning The Body if Christ and water baptism is not mentioned once, I agree with you.

Thank you for that excellent post R.L.W. You put things into words much better than me , much love in Christ .

Bummer: (2) _Genesis 1:1_ PARTIALLY underscored did not, neither did Genesis_1:1

let's see:

_Genesis_1:1_ ? -Genesis-1:1- ? " Genesis 1:1" ?

Link ?

Link ?

God Bless All!

Hi John I believe it is very significant that He uses this term because in Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want in the context from verse 23-31 he's teaching about how God supplies all needs when we believe and look to him its the same way a shepherd protects his flock makes sure they have green pastures and a little nice detail sheep will not drink in loud surroundings that why the psalmist said still waters. Also now Christ is the Head of the church and known as the Chief Shepherd. Also Look at the Gospel of John Chapter 10:1-16 it all ties in. In context he's talking about anyone who believes in Him.

Precious brother Chris. So glad you brought up: "'Law Administration' is difficult to comprehend when water baptism was not part of the Law to Israel (except concerning the priesthood as a ritual cleansing)." In regards to this, you may find the following "view of Israel's priesthood" Very Interesting - thanks for your careful/prayerful consideration:

{Borrowed from my 12 baptisms "study"}: ONE of Israel's various washings! Greek: Baptismos = ( Hebrews 9:10):

4. Levitical priesthood baptism ( Exodus 29:4) ( Leviticus 8:6) ( Numbers 8:7). This washing was The Second Requirement { The First being: "NO blemish!" ( Leviticus 21:21) }, in order to become a priest under the Law of Moses! Is this baptism in any way connected To baptism # 9?:

9. "water" baptism of repentance that John preached (Before The Cross), And Peter continued (After The Cross!), to preach! ( Matthew 3:5-6) ( Mark 1:4) ( Luke 3:3) ( John 1:31) ( Luke 7:29-30) ( Acts 10:37) ( Matthew 28:19) ( Mark 16:16) ( Acts 2:38) ( Acts 22:16) ( Ezekiel 36:25).

a) Does this baptism "save" anyone ( Luke 7:29-30?)?

b1) Is this baptism in any way "connected" to baptism # 4?

b2) Wasn't John preparing National Israel for God's Promise For them "to be a nation of priests unto God" ( Exodus 19:6!)?

b3) Was not The Second Requirement for priesthood induction, Washing? { may require re-review of baptism #4! }.

b4) Did not CHRIST And The Twelve "heal" everyone in Israel who came to them, in order to meet "The FIRST Requirement" For the priesthood, that Of "NO blemish!"? ( Matthew 4:24) ( Acts 5:16) compare: ( Leviticus 21:21)

More questions - to be continued

It is EVERYONE who comes to believe in Jesus through his words; He is the WORD!

John 1:1

Your faith is precious to Him. But do not become shaken in your tiny light of newborn faith. Go on to become a LIGHTHOUSE that others can see shining. Don't hide your light under a basket.

Let others see the Light of your faith in what Jesus said.

This whole Bible is about Jesus. Before creation, during and after creation. Generations uponGenerations waiting for His incarnation; when His life entered into Mary's womb. Thirty years until He began His ministry on earth. The Cross, when he died for the sins of every human being that ever lived or is born now. His glorious Resurrection.

Now we wait, because time has begun to tick down to zero. All remaining prophesies will come true. Every single one. Not much time is left!

Decide who you believe and choose to follow; little children. Persecution will increase. It will take HIS STRENGTH INSIDE OF YOU, to hang on tight.

His little flock will be the first to leave this earth (Rapture; Caught Up in the Clouds) and to be kept safe from what comes next.

Satan will fulfill prophesies of his deeds in this end time. Israel (becomes again, the Elect of God). All those prophesies will be completed.

And when Israel is SURROUNDED BY HER ENEMIES, Jesus will appear.

So, don't PROCRASTINATE BEING BORN AGAIN.

Why not be wise and be sealed with The Holy Spirit given by Jesus? You can ESCAPE the final judgement of denying the existence of Jesus. His little flock will be 100% safe from the horrors to come.

The flock is little, because those who refuse to accept their need, is billions of unbelieving.

Part 2 More baptism questions for today's water adherents:

9. "water" baptism of repentance:

c) Is this baptism "for today"? IF this baptism is FOR US Today, we have Several More Questions:

c1) Why does NO ONE Today, "teach, as John ( Under The LAW! ), Claimed": it is FOR "making CHRIST Manifest To Israel" ( John 1:31)?

c2) Why does {Almost} NO ONE Today, "Confess their sins," when they come to This baptism ( Matthew 3:6) ( Mark 1:5)?

c3) Why do not ALL Divided "denominations who WATER baptize" today, agree AS ONE, And "teach" water as John, CHRIST, And The Twelve ( Under The LAW! ), "taught" That "water baptism Is FOR The Remission Of sins!" ( Mark 1:4) ( Luke 3:3) ( Acts 2:38). { instead of each one's own "symbolic Re-Interpreted Traditions!" }?

10. Baptism Of Anointing?: Pentecostal Spirit baptism; This is the baptism "WITH" The Holy Spirit, BY JESUS CHRIST, From Heaven, Poured Out Upon the believing remnant of Israel with signs and powers following. ( Isaiah 44:3) ( Matthew 3:11) ( Mark 1:8) ( Mark 16:17-18) ( Luke 24:49) ( Acts 2:17-18) ( Acts 2:38) ( Acts 8:15-17) ( Acts 11:16). And, is not THIS The THIRD Requirement For "priesthood induction" = Anointing? (compare ( Exodus 29:7) ( Leviticus 8:10-12).

Is God Performing "This" Baptism On us TODAY?

Conclusion: IF any water adherent, today, Under GRACE, believes he/she has been water baptized into the Israeli priesthood, is he/she Absolutely SURE he/she HAS MET The other TWO Requirements Of God? IF he/she has NOT "met them," then does THIS apply TO us TODAY?:

God Superseded TWO baptisms, Under Law, With ONE Baptism , Under GRACE!

Further Note: Paul, in Romans through Philemon, has NO doctrine of priesthood for The Body Of CHRIST, Under GRACE, Today...

Exhausted by "study"? Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!

ALL of (1) seemed to work here but not other posts :( Best is ( Genesis 1:1)!

(2) _Genesis 1:1_ underscored did not, so let's see IF Genesis_1:1 "might" work...

I was just thinking about how we know without a doubt that Jesus was truly God the Son In Hebrews 1 : 8 But unto the Son ( Jesus ) he says thy Throne O God is forever. Thats y the FATHER instructs ALL the ANGELS TO WORSHIP HIS ONLY Son Jesus. Thus he is truly God the Son. Thus when the Sower of that good seed will go forth to sow his Godly Seed in humanity ( the field is the world ) It was the Father Almighty God that said that everything has to multiply after its KIND, When he breathe on em he was propagating very God with his breath which was his seed as his Word is his seed,Thus his breath was his seed, the very word of God was his seed ,he does not reproduce after the human kind he reproduces after the God Kind,Thats y he is s saying to whom the word ( his seed )came it made them Gods. As that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the H.G. the Child of PROMISE He reproduces after the God kind with his GOD SEED the LIVING WORD , SO WE KNOW without a doubt that he is truly God the Son. Jesus was propagating very God with His Seed when he breathe on them saying receive ye the H.G. Simply b/c the good seed was sown in their hearts initiating a spritual pregnancy ,B/C i have spoken these words ( his seed, breath the living word they were impregated but the actural Child ( the H.G. did not come till Pentecost. ) Unless ya receive the KiNGDOM OF GOD as a lil CHILD YOU WILL IN NO WISE ENTER THERE IN , The Child was the H.G. as that which is born of the spirit is spirit that new born BABE desiring the sincere milk of the word was the H.G. IMMANUEL GOD WITH US. He reproduces after the God Kind which Proves he is truly God the son .Real Faith is like a pregnancy, When a woman is pregnant she has the substance of something hoped for the EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN the fetus. After he sows his seed in our hearts we have the substance of things hoped for a baby Christ ,My lil Chldren of whom i travail in birth till Christ is fomed in you ,the Child is formed in us

Precious Bob, ONE verse does not make Sound Doctrine, Correct?:

"JESUS Said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM."

( John 8:58)

IF JESUS is not THE "I AM" {ETERNALLY Existing One} Of ( Exodus 3:14), then please advise "Exactly WHO" is HE?

1) a created non-angel being son of God"? 2) Michael the archangel? 3) a pro-created human only son of God? 4) JW's idea of a-little-g god in the NWT Jn 1:1? And, Exactly HOW do Any of "these" FORGIVE sin, NOT "Being God Almighty"?

Is it not Infinitely Better to Adhere to ALL "Inspired" Scripture ( 2 Timothy 3:16-17), and Compare Scriptures With THEMSELVES" With The Help Of our Blessed Teacher, God, The Holy Spirit ( 1 Corinthians 2:13), Correct? ie:

WHO Is "The EVERLASTING/ETERNAL God, With No Beginning Of Days!"?:

"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the

thousands of Judah, yet out of thee Shall HE Come Forth Unto ME That

Is To Be Ruler In Israel; Whose Goings Forth Have Been From Of Old,

From EVERLASTING." ( Micah 5:2)

"Without father, without mother, without descent, having NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS, Nor end of life; But Made Like Unto The SON Of God;.." ( Hebrews 7:3)

"JESUS CHRIST, The SAME yesterday, and to day, and for ever." ( Hebrews 13:8)

ONLY God Is ETERNAL/EVERLASTING!:

"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever THOU Hadst Formed the earth and the world, Even from Everlasting To Everlasting, THOU Art God." ( Psalm 90:2)

"I Said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not That I AM [He], ye shall die in your sins." ( John 8:24)

"Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe That I AM [He]." ( John 13:19)

If you only read KJV, then you know the translators supplied the Extra [bracketed] words, Correct? Thus, JESUS, The SON Of God, The Father, Did, In BIBLICAL Fact, Say "That I AM!" Correct?

Please be Enlightened, Enriched, Exhorted, Encouraged, And EDIFIED, In:

The Great "I AM" JESUS CHRIST!

Alex,

One of the definitions given in the Merriam-Webster dictionary of the word slant is: "to maliciously or dishonestly distort or falsify"

You say you are giving your "slant" on the trinity, and from what I see, what you are saying would definitely meet the criteria of this definition of the word slant!

Hi George,

I received an email from this website this morning that you posted a question to me. I cannot find your post, but this was what the email said:

"Jesse If the bridegroom is the church why is it never called that in the Church epistles and why is the bridegroom most mentioned in the context of the gospels."

My answer would be that I did not say that the church was the bridegroom. I said that Jesus Christ is the bridegroom. Did you read my post carefully? If you can find where I said that the church is the bridegroom then I will admit my error because that is not what I believe. If I said that, then I apologize, but can you please tell me where I said the church is the bridegroom? Thank you!

If it's in red letters that means Jesus said it. Luke 12: 22, His Disciples.

Hi Mike No he never did in Chapter 11:1-11 he didn't keep His word but God kept His Word as always.

pray that i can get my oil pan to my car fix and have enough money to get my cat fix and no fumes from the gass tank and i can get to work and do not loss my job and to have enogh money to pay my bills

Hiya Everybody, i just wanted to give my slant on the Trinity, the Godhead beings it was just a picture of the Abrahamic Godhead . Just as Abraham offered up his only son Issac so did God Almighty offer up his only Son Christ Which resulted in that great Promise of MULTIPLICATION ,I will multiply the Seed as the Stars of HEAVEN thus the sower and his precious seed the WORD which is THE MULTIPLICation of God, Thats y Jesus said behold I send the Promise of my Father upon you which was the new Birth of the H.G. The Child of Promise ( the multiplication of very God in humanity ) When Jesus said that which is born of the Spirit Spirit thats the H.G. the Child of Promise Our new Birth via his seed the Word as God is Spirit. You folks that gag at the Trinity are gonna have to swollow as Zillion Gods but they are all 1 spirit Immanuels, God with US. When God said my name is Abraham Issac and Jacob, He was plainly telling us there is gonna be an Israel of God, THE VERY Multiplication of God in humanity which is the H.G. that Child of Promise. God cd not tell us His his name was abraham, Issac and Jacob if his kingdom were not a Abrahamic type trinity. That is gonna be multiplied as the Stars of Heaven, Thus the very Kingdom of God is gona be with in US. Ya gotta realize its God Almighty that wants a Posterity,Christ was just the 1st born of many breathren. Thats y the sower wants to sow his precious seed in humanity that we might birth a baby God as Jesus said that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the H.G. The Granson. A baby Christ via the seed of Christ, the time is at hand for the world to have A BABY Christ. Thats y Elijah has to come and turn the hearts of the fathers to the Children, Gods Plural.27 times in the O.T. the Prophets saw the WORLD in travail and birth Pains ( Sorrows ) But after the Child comes our sorrows are gonna be turned into Joy which is the H.G. The Child of Promise the multiplication of God via the seed of Christ. Thank ya Jesus .

Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, abbreviation Philippians, eleventh book of the New Testament, written by St. Paul the Apostle to the Christian congregation he had established in Philippi. It was penned while he was in prison, probably at Rome or Ephesus, about 62 ce.

i love jesus

Please advise "how to" make these discussions Better with Bible verse "links" ie:

(1) Is it ( Gen 1:1)? or ( Genesis 1 : 1)? or ( Genesis 1:1) looks ok?

(2) How do we _underline_ a _verse link_ without the ()? Is it _Genesis 1:1_ { _underscore_ before and after the _verse_ }

This TEST question may help as I try "different things," but I Really Appreciate all your help, also!

God Bless you richly!!

Hi Mike , eventually you will get to read the book of Ecclesiastes , it is written by Solomon . When you have read it you will know all by yourself wether or not Solomon was sorry for his sins . You don't need me to tell you what to think , you will know after you've read Ecclesiastes . Enjoy the Word , may God give you eyes to see and ears to hear and an open heart and mind .

Hi Marcelo , it's called Phillipians because it was written to the church or rather congregation at Phillipi in the same way that Galatians was written to the Christians in Galatia .

Perhaps, the visions of Daniel have had earthly histories and the visions of John were/are the behind the scenes Heavenly histories.

:)

Daniel 8:25

And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

This verse refers to Herod the Great who was broken by disease.

Revelation 12:4

And in 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.

Herod attempted to try to stop the ascension of the Prince of princes to the throne in earth, and the dragon tried to prevent the ascension The Prince of princes to the Throne in Heaven.

Explain Luke 12:32 Who are the little flock, the disciples? Israel?

Hi Marcelo Vega Each of the church Epistles are addressed to the Fellowships in the specific areas Paul preached at Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Phillippi. Collossae, Thessalonica.

Bsp Amen to that

1 Kings 11

King Solomon did that that not right with the Lord. Did King Solomon ever get right with the Lord? I don't see it.
