Paul and Barnabas at Iconium. (1-7)
A cripple healed at Lystra, The people would have sacrificed to Paul and Barnabas. (8-18)
Paul stoned at Lystra, The churches visited again. (19-28)
Its a prophecy of the United States. King James bible came out in 1611. through the knowledge of the Lord and savior v. 20 we escaped from those that lived in error v.18 , those deceived by the false teachers of that time. We were promised liberty v 19 but instead were made merchandise through feigned words v 3. (Federal reserve, debt note, IMF , World bank S. Security act of 1933, Birth Cir. etc.) v. 10-15 These international banksters walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise the hierarchy of government which starts with the Almighty and the lord Jesus sitting at His right hand. (the original text of KJ Rom13)The government Isaiah 9:6 not the corruption within mystery babylon the mother of all harlots which is the only "church" and state AKA the Vatican and "holy see". The latter end is worse than the beginning v.20 so please understand what the falling away is. The apostasy or departure/rebellion of and from Gods word is starring us all in the face.
3: If you're begging for something but you want to sound formal and a little old-fashioned, say "I beseech you!" It really captures how urgent and desperate you are, yet perhaps saves a shred of your dignity. Beseech sounds a little like seek, which is appropriate. To beseech is to seek for something, or for permission.
4: To beseech is to ask for something earnestly or desperately. An example of beseech is how you might ask your boss for a promotion at work. To ask for earnestly; solicit eagerly; beg for. To beg or implore.
If God gave me this purpose, why is man interfering. I truly do trust the Lord! It's like Hospice patients you wish they weren't dying but it's the natural path so you resolve that fact and you make them comfortable and wait.
"The Bible also never talks about people using the restroom, although we can assume they probably did."
The Bible does mention these matters, therefore, you need no longer assume.
Deuteronomy 23:
12Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
Also,
"So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall." 1 Samuel 25:22
"And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house(public outhouse) unto this day." 2 Kings 10:27
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
2 Timothy 2:15
Thank You
Before I give you some Scriptures, let me ask, "what if God chose to embody His "Truth" (the Holy Spirit), with flesh, as He did to His "Word"? Would that alter your belief that the Spirit is more than the Truth (a Word) of God, but very God Himself by His Spirit?
Some Scriptures for you to consider that the Holy Spirit is not only the 'Truth of God' but sent from God as God: 1 Corinthians 2:10-11 (He is Intelligent, He searches, He knows, He has a Will); Ephesians 4:30 (He has feelings - can be grieved & He seals the believer); John 14:26 (He teaches; notice the pronoun); John 16:13, Romans 8:14; Acts 8:29 (He guides, leads, speaks, hears, glorifies God); Acts 13:4 (He commissions or despatches); Romans 8:26,27 (He intercedes); Matthew 12:31 (He can be blasphemed); Acts 5:3 (He can be lied to); Acts 7:51 (He can be resisted); Hebrews 10:29 (He can be outraged). And these are just a few to consider.
Then if we leave off the word 'Spirit' & replace it with 'Truth' in those Scriptures (as you asked me to try out), in some cases, it could work as the Spirit is Truth, as God & the Son are Truth. But in other cases, that just wouldn't work (e.g. how does the Truth (as a spoken Word) grieve, search, has a Will, feelings, hears, glorifies, commissions, intercedes, blasphemed against, etc.?). And then again, why did God not just use the word 'Truth' (as in 'the Truth shall set you free') but rather shows us that His Spirit (of Truth) was sent to accomplish these tasks? I can see if someone has difficulty with the Doctrine of the Trinity, then understanding the Spirit's part in the Godhead would be a problem.
Then the question: who is an upright & righteous person? Is he a sinner that hasn't fallen into sin? Can such a person exist given the transmission of the sin nature to all? Do any of his other sins count as being equally heinous before God or only those of a sexual nature? Indeed, why just focus on this type of sin, when all other sins is equally abhorrent to God & which sends people to hell?
And the same applies for the Christian today. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, where the Apostle Paul warns us about entering into any union with unbelievers, whether in business or marriage. Idolatry may not be involved here for us, but the values, ethics & constraints that are upon us as Christian may not always be the same as these others & this is where problems arise & much heartache. However, there is no requirement that a Christian marriage cannot be had with someone from another culture, as long it is with one who is "in the Lord", a believer. Such a union can only receive the blessing of the Lord.
