And in 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
I'm positive all has not been fulfilled
Let us continue to pray for our nation's leadership and their need to find the LORD'S salvation, and mind set. May we as GOD'S children be humble and call on HIS name for HIS glory and praise.
2 Chronicles 7: 14, 15
GOD'S face to shine and be gracious on all on this forum. GOD bless you and keep you.

This meat (meal) offering is to be a forever statute. So, with Communion, it is for us to be partaken of regularly as believers, as often as we eat and drink of it we bring to remembrance and proclaim the death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.
It says that everyone who touches those who partake of this meal are to be holy. This speaks to being consecrated. Those who partake of the communion are to be believers, thus being made holy by the Holy Spirit's regeneration and sanctification, by the death and resurrection of Jesus, and by the acceptance of the Father, having justified us through the blood of His One and Only Son, Jesus. The work of the Trinity in our salvation is important to recognize. We are reconciled to God by all of the actions of the Persons of the Trinity. Through the grace and favor of the Godhead, we are redeemed and set apart for God as holy priests who serve Him, the Only True God. He alone is God, there is no other, none before Him and none after Him. There will never be any other gods formed because a created being cannot become a god and be given the True God's divine essence. This essence only God possesses, however, being made holy through salvation, we are brought into communion with God and experience His Glory and Love both now and in the life to come. I don't think we can ever overestimate the worth of this experience when, because of our sins, we deserve to never experience this privilege. It is precious and only the angels and saved humans will be given such a marvelously rich gift in being in right relationship with our Great God and Savior, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
This portion of the chapter speaks to the Meat (meal) offering that the priests are to offer with the daily morning and evening burnt offering and peace offering. The priest is to take a handful of the fine flour and combine it with the oil and the frankincense to burn it with the sacrificial animal, with its fat. This will be a sweet and pleasing aroma to the LORD. It is said to be a memorial to the LORD. A memorial is something to be remembered. Perhaps the LORD wanted to the people to remember how He had delivered them from the bondage of slavery and also to realize that He has delivered them from the bondage of sin also through the forgiveness He gives through these offerings (which are a shadow of the sacrifice of Jesus). Perhaps the LORD wants His people to not be forgetful about being truly thankful to Him from their hearts for all He has done for them. We too, should be ever grateful to God for Jesus. We are to offer up holy hands with thanksgiving to God when we pray ( Philippians 4:6) We are told to not forget His benefits to us. This is the effect of having a sort of memorial. Partaking of Communion is such a memorial where we remember His body and blood that was shed for us for the forgiveness of sins. This memorial harkens back to this grain offering in this chapter of Leviticus.
Aaron and his sons are to use the remainder of the grain to make unleavened bread or wafers or cakes for their consumption. It is only to be consumed in the holy place, in the court of the tabernacle of meeting. Even this bread that the priests eat together is considered holy, not common. So the communal eating of it is an act of worship. Our taking of communion is to be eaten with other believers in a holy place as an act of worship. We should beware of partaking of communion in a flippant or insincere way. We are to discern the body and blood of Jesus, we should examine ourselves beforehand, confessing our sins, and honoring God as we partake.
Believe that the heavenly Father is right there with you, this is the time that he is holding you because He knows and sees what you are going through, you are not alone you never have been. Trust in Him and He will deliver you
How do we get new questions to be added to the Q and A section?
I am glad to hear that you wish to grow in faith. That is a great step to make in your own spiritual journey in becoming what God created you to be in Jesus Christ. It is important that you do this for yourself and not just to win back your fiance because maturing as a believer is God's will for all of us who profess Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
As to your question about how couples bond. Many couples develop common bonds around common interests whether Christians or not. People do come to love one another as whole persons and not just because of one or two aspects of a person's life. Many unsaved couples do this. However, in the case of your fiance, there may be such love bonds between you, but for him, if there is not a strong bond of faith between you. He will always feel a sense of loss in your relationship as long as this exists. He will be keenly aware of the lack of unity of the Spirit between you two and this will be a big concern for him.
So, there is the common bonds that couples feel with one another whether they are believers or not, but for the believer, the bond of unity of faith is very precious and worth having in a marriage. So, your fiance is wise to desire this. If it does not exist in your relationship with him after five years, it should be concerning to him and also wise for him to not enter marriage with you. He can either seek the Lord to bring another woman into his life for him to marry who really loves and seeks after God or he can pray to God to grant you and himself more time for this to happen before you two renew your relationship.
On your part, Amanda, it is most likely that your ex-fiance does feel these bonds you mention here, but the absence of the bond of faith is a biggie. It is so much of a concern to him that he thought it best to call of the wedding after 5 years. That is a big decision. It is a painful one to make. I have experienced this situation with a believer who broke off our 4 year relationship. It hurt
I'm asking for;
traveling mercies
Protection
Strength & stamina
Low pain level ( so I can walk)
And to be a witness
The letter to Ephesus starts with commendable words and then Jesus said He had something against them, they left their first love. My understanding is all they were doing had turned into a job, a habit, or a duty. First in terms of priority, what is most important, what they were doing was without the Love for Jesus, loveless labor. We can get into a routine and lose the light and become noneffective if we are not in a relationship with Jesus and deceive ourselves. It becomes me instead of Him.
God bless,

Thank you all for your prayers.
Lord bless you and keep you, cause His face to shine upon you, and give you peace.
Please pray I will have grace enough to bless my enemies. My heart is torn apart. The battle is so hard that right now it seems like I don't gonna make it. Even though I know by faith that I will make it through, and finish my race. Thank you for praying.
