It was far wiser and ordered by God to not step foot in those doors again to which I obeyedand continue to obey. What has happened since those days is between them and God. Not me.
The guest speakers at all of those meeting to which I was invited have contacted me inviting me to other places to meet with them to hear the sermons. It has truly been a blessing.
This world need some wisdom.
I have endured, overcome, accepted , and witnessed the most unGodly cruelties of mankind upon children. I survived by the will of God and God alone saved me as others fell where I stood.
This is my where my relationship with God began. I do not consider myself perfect and I am responsible for my actions as an adult. When men stand up in name of Christianity and charity ( not all mankind but those who do) and continue to do this very day , it , as a child i witnessed and associated it with the crosses these men wore around their necks.
So tell me if you can why my love for God is so wrong? What scriptures can you give to me and all the children taking my place? Our worlds are so different. There is a great evil in the hearts of men .. so It was God and God alone who saves me. Saves My life.. and my soul belongs to him..
The Father is fully God, but is not The Son or The Spirit.
The Son is fully God, but is not The Father or The Spirit.
The Spirit is fully God, but is not The Father or The Son.
So your question to clarify still stands:
"i would like to know is how he did it."
What do you mean by that?
Emerods are painful sores. God told His people, the Israelites, that if they obeyed His laws, they would receive blessings and safely in The Promised Land, but if they disobeyed Him they would receive curses from Him that includes emerods. Deu 28:27The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
These weren't ordinary boils or hemeroids. These were much, much worse.
When the Philistines defeated Israel in a battle, they captured The Ark of The LORD and put it in the temple to their god, Dagon. You can read about it in 1 Samuel 4, 5 & 6. Their false god, Dagon, got trashed!!! Cool stuff! Don't mess with The One and True God! All the men of city and the environs were plagued with emerods from God. It was not just annoying but it was devastating. The Philistines had 5 cities so they each volunteered to take the Ark but when they did, the men of the city got plagued with this terrible deadly scourge.
And chapter 5 ends, 1Sa 5:12And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
In chapter 6, the Philistines send the Ark back to Israel along with some golden images to appease The God of Israel.
The take away: When Israel sinned against God, they paid a terrible price and that also affected the nations around them. When we believers sin, even though we are forgiven by Jesus' death and resurrection, we bear the consequences of sin and often those around us are affected as well.
Eph 5:8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light
God has made covenants with various people as recorded in The Bible: Some of them are...
Noahic Covenant - an unconditional covenant never to destroy the earth again by flood.
Abrahamic Covenant - an unconditional covenant to bless him, make him a great nation, bless all nations through him and give him the Promised Land
Mosaic Covenant - a CONDITIONAL covenant that IF the people of Israel completely obeyed God, they would be blessed by God, but if they didn't, they would receive curses from God.
Davidic Covenant - an unconditional covenant the his reign and throne would last forever.
The New Covenant - an unconditional covenant to give Israel a new heart to obey Him, live in the Promised land forever and enjoy God's presence, a covenant that New Testament believers share in.
Notice that only one is a conditional covenant: the covenant with Moses and Israel at Mount Sinai. This covenant has been replaced by The New Covenant, since Jesus was the fulfillment of the Mosaic Law. Keeping The Law is not a means if grace. Rather it condemns us. "The Law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." This covenant included the dietary restrictions like not eating the blood or fat of animals. These civil, ceremonial and dietary laws were only addressed to Israel and are not in any way a requirement for New Testament believers. The apostles addressed thus issue at the Jerusalem Council as recorded in Acts 15.
Today, the blood is usually drained from the carcass before the meat is aged and butchered. I'm not really sure whether ingesting large amounts of blood is harmful but I'd guess that's so. But we are under no such prohibition from God as stated in the Scriptures.
First believe the Bible when it says, God will conclude the world with no belief in God. And it says only a remnant are not like S&G, which includes all those given to oral and anal sex. A remnant is left at the end, so at the end there will be only a few who are not like S&G. I stand with the remnant.
The remnant are the just and those in S&G are the unjust. The unjust are foolish and have departed from wisdom. They are not wise.
The just are wise.
Pro. 10:20, "The tongue of the just is as choice silver"
Pro. 10:31, "The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom."
Pro. 4:18, "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the
If we are in the last days only a few people are not like those in S&G. The Christianity of today was made by the foolish people and they tell us no wisdom. Pr. 14:2 "He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is PERVERSE in his ways despiseth him." They are haters of God.
Gen. 6:9, "Noah was a just man.
2 Pet 2:7 " And delivered just Lot."
Mk. 6:20, "For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man."
Act 10:22, "And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God." He hated evil.
Zec. 9:9, Jesus is just. "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation" Jesus brings wisdom.
2 Sam. 23:3, "The God of Israel said, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God." The fear of the Lord is to hate evil.
The rulers over our land should be just. The leaders within the church should be just. Do you see just people ruling our land and the Church?
there are many scriptures that describe being reconciled ,, i would leave it up you to choose them in the context of what it means .
" I may possibly be condemning my wife when my heart desires to preach conviction of sin instead. "
I was saved before my wife, I see your dilemma. Preach has a connotation that doesn't imply example. I recently heard the saying, "people don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." When you both are before God's word, avoid your commentary and allow God's word to be the focus of her attention. In God's good time he does the saving, not you and your preaching. In this case I believe "actions speak louder than words." Loving your wife is a commitment not based on feeling. Meet her needs which are your responsibility and trust God to be at work on her needs that are his. I will be praying for you both.
"How may I discuss the what I'm understanding in the bible" As unsaved, she isn't the person to discuss those matters with, but ask God to provide that person or means to help you reflect on what you see in scripture, such as this site.
My wife was saved sometime after reading a gospel tract I had left with her. She was alone and holding our just delivered firstborn son in her hospital bed. God brought to her mind John 3:16 and then she thoroughly understood it's meaning. She immediatly called me to say she was saved, and that was perhaps three/four years after me getting saved. I worked at that hospital and was saved during work hours while on the rooftop, no more than forty feet from where her bed was. I was also born in that hospital, so I was born and born again there.
Having saved you, God will never leave or forsake you. Grow in his graciousness and thank him for his mercies.
I try to understand it..But if so be it that these were other languages understandable by other and yet unlearned or can be interpreted, are they the same as angelic tongues? And second are they the ones the apostle paul talks about in corinthians 13 and 14? Thanks
