Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 634

So you do not believe in the scriptural "Age of Accountability"?

Which Bible do you think is the one ordained by God?

Proverbs 4:7

"wisdom is the principle." To know the true God, and what he requires of man, and for what he has made man; and to this must be added, under the Christian dispensation, to know Jesus Christ whom he hath sent, and for what end He was sent, the necessity of his being sent, and the nature of that salvation which he has bought by his own blood.

Get wisdom - Consider this as thy chief gain; that in reference to which all thy wisdom, knowledge, and endeavors should be directed.

And with all thy getting - Let this be thy chief property. While thou art passing through things temporal, do not lose those things which are eternal; and, while diligent in business, be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.

Get understanding - Do not be contented with the lessons of wisdom merely; do not be satisfied with having a sound religious creed; devils believe and tremble; but see that thou properly comprehend all that thou hast learnt; and see that thou rightly apply all that thou hast been taught.

Wisdom prescribes the best end, and the means best calculated for its attainment. Understanding directs to the ways, times, places, and opportunities of practicing the lessons of wisdom. Wisdom points out the thing requisite; understanding sees to the accomplishment and attainment. Wisdom sees; but understanding feels. One discovers, the other possesses.

Good question

Ex 29:20

Take of his blood - The putting the blood of the sacrifice on the tip of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the great toe of the right foot, was doubtless intended to signify that they should dedicate all their faculties and powers to the service of God; their ears to the hearing and study of his law, their hands to diligence in the sacred ministry and to all acts of obedience, and their feet to walking in the way of God's precepts. And this sprinkling appears to have been used to teach them that they could neither hear, work, nor walk profitably, uprightly, and well-pleasing in the sight of God, without this application of the blood of the sacrifice. And as the blood of rams, bulls, and goats, could never take away sin, does not this prove to us that something infinitely better is shadowed out, and that we can do nothing holy and pure in the sight of a just and holy God, but through the blood of atonement.

Ref to Ex 30:20

They shall wash with water, that they die not - This was certainly an emblematical washing; and as the hands and the feet are particularly mentioned, it must refer to the purity of their whole conduct. Their hands - all their works, their feet - all their goings, must be washed - must be holiness unto the Lord. And this washing must be repeated every time they entered into the tabernacle, or when they came near to the altar to minister. This washing was needful because the priests all ministered barefoot; but it was equally so because of the guilt they might have contracted, for the washing was emblematical of the putting away of sin, or what St. Paul calls the laver of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost, ( Tit 3:5), as the influences of the Spirit must be repeated for the purification of the soul, as frequently as any moral defilement has been contracted.

God bless you Faith , remember that you need to try to please God before trying to please any human , you are accountable to Him , not to any other human .

Honestly I don't know why , I have my thoughts but that's all they are , here they are : the blood is to consecrate , Jesus would have had blood on his head hands and feet when he was on the cross , the thief on his right made a confession of guilt and recognised Jesus's innocence and was forgiven his sins , thief on the right , right ear thumb and big toe , is there a connection there ? Honestly I don't know , I'm sorry , just my mental meanderings .

It's only recently that I have really understood the important incident in Genesis Ch 25 V 29-34 . I always felt slightly sorry for Esau , he was faint with hunger and Jacob should have just fed him I think . There is , I now realise , a lesson for us as Christians . Esau says : I am at the point to die , what profit shall this birthright do to me ? Let's apply this statement to ourselves , would we save our own physical lives and compromise our faith by not trusting in God's promise of eternal life in His Kingdom ? Would we try to save our lives in this world by sacrificing our place in the world to come ? If we are told to do something that we know is against God's will , in order to get food , would we do it to preserve our lives in this world ? I think I get it now . Yes , I am sometimes a bit dumb smiley face .

This passage is urging me and us to listen. Solomon is saying stop! listen to what im saying i am going to say somethings that you are not going to like but hear me out. Being able to be corrected is wisdom Solomon is saying we think the easy way out of things are the best way Not so all the time. That is why it is such a honour and a priviledge to know of the true and living God. As we see many today dont understand and sadly they dont want to understand. Oh, if we could just want understanding, God said he would give it to us. We dont have it because we dont ask for it

First of all that the misinterpretation of Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy is one of the biggest hoaxes on the modern church and the cornerstone of Israel-based prophecy doctrines, including and especially the rapture doctrine and the seven year Israel / antichrist tribulation teaching all of that comes out of the misinterpretation of Daniel's 70-week prophecy.

A biblically correct interpretation of Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy absolutely shows the errors of Christian Zionism. Daniel was a student of Jeremiah's prophecy of Jerusalem's 70-year captivity by the Babylonians and you can read in verses 1 and 2 of Da 9.

The archangel Gabriel appeared to Daniel and gave him his prophecy in the 69th year of that 70-year Babylonian captivity, The Babylonian captivity began with the removal of king Jeconius from Jerusalem and ended with the return of the remnant under Zerubbabel the 70 weeks that are determined upon thy people in thy holy city (verse 24) were God's judgment upon Israel primarily for its violation of God's law of the sabbath year which had been ignored for 490 years leading up to the Babylonian captivity.

The 70 weeks judgment where God's judgment upon Israel primarily for its violation of God's law of the sabbath year which had been ignored for 490 years that number is going to be very important leading up to the Babylonian captivity every seventh year was to be a sabbath year or a year of rest where servants were commanded to be freed and debts were forgiven that's Ex 23:10-12 for a period of 70 sabbath years or 490 years 70 times 7, Israel mocked God with greed and selfishness in refusing to cut off their personal property from the productivity of their servants and debt.

philosophically America is doing the exact same thing that disobedient Israel did for all of those years in our unjust unconstitutional and dare I say Antichrist economic system.

One does not have to be baptized to go to heaven. However, believers and their children should submit themselves to baptism if they are able. God commanded that we should be baptized TO WASH AWAY THE OLD SINS THEN GO, SIN NO MORE! The Lord commanded that we remember His salvation through the practicing of these sacraments until the end of the world. So, the signs of engrafting into the one true body of Christ - that is, Baptism-along with Communion - the sign of nourishing and caring for those who have been saved - are vital signs of life within the church. Having said that, and recognizing that there are communities of conviction who received Scripture to say that baptism is necessary for salvation, I would humbly but resolutely submit that there is**nothing necessary for salvation apart from repentance and faith in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ: His perfect life, His atoning sacrifice at Calvary.

1. Works of the Flesh Being morally bad, doing all kinds of shameful things, causing trouble, causing people to argue, dividing people into separate groups, and hating people God knows your heart. God knows if you were trying to be nice and He knows if you are trying to start trouble.

2. The "works of the law" are the actions performed to fulfill the Mosaic Law found in the first five books of the Old Testament. Keeping the Sabbath, being circumcised (the issue before the Galatian churches), eating "clean" foods, and other ceremonies are powerless to justify us in the sight of God.

**Answer to the thing they have in common is: they were written before Christ died and Resurrected to save us, changing EVERYTHING. IN JESUS OWN AND LAST WORDS.. "IT IS FINISHED".

3. Fruit of the spirit is: ***Fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is the result of the Holy Spirit's presence and working in the lives of maturing believers and is itemized in Galatians 5:22-23. In the context of these verses, the singular fruit of the Spirit is contrasted with the plural works of the flesh ( 5:19-21). The fruit of the Spirit is the natural result of the presence of the Holy Spirit residing in a believer. Therefore spiritual baptism is just that.! Once you have the holy spirit in you and are living a godly life believing in No-one but HIM..you are baptized in the spirit.

In conclusion: Once we except Christ as our Lord & Savior we are saved by Gods grace (new way/reborn or born again) this way we no longer follow old testament rules and laws. The old nature people had to sacrifice for sins. JESUS WAS OUR SACRIFICE for ALL sins AND for EVERYONE WHO EXCEPTS HIM..PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.

Part 2.

Let me pause for a second to say this is not a message on whether we keep the commandments or not. This is about the nature of the Un generated heart of man apart from Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit by those who are in Christ.

When speaking of the law we think of the writings of Moses and the commandments, etc.

Let's take a look at the purpose of the law and the effects and condition of those under it.

THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW.

Galatians 3:24.

Also take a look at Romans 7:7 .... (I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.)

THE EFFECTS AND CODITION OF THOSE UNDER THE LAW.

Here in Romans 7:23. we have Paul describing the warring of the old nature and the new nature in a believer.

"But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members."

Here in Romans 8:3-7. we have a picture of the flesh held captive by the curse of the law.

(For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,)

God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE.

THE LAWS CONCLUSION.

So, the law showed us our fallen and sinful condition, and the law also couldn't change the heart of man that's why we have to be born from above. This is what the new birth does and how it is in relationship to baptism. As seen Galatians 3:24-27.

See Pt 3.

Lev, 8:23 And he slew it.-Better, and he killed, as the same word is rendered in the Authorized Version in Leviticus 8:19, that is, Moses killed it.

And put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear.-To teach him that, as the mediator between God and His people, it was his bounden duty to hearken to the commandments of the Lord.

And upon the thumb of his right hand.-To remind him that henceforth he is to execute God's will, and walk in the way of His commandments. And he {f} slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.

(f) Moses did this because the priests were not yet established in their office.

***Learning of the bible is great but keep in mind, after Jesus BDR we do not do these things any more. God sacrificed His son for our sins. NOTHING else needs to be done or your telling God "what you did wasn't enough so I'm doing to do this or that to add to what you did. NOTHING needs to be added. God sent His son to die for our sins...period. Jesus's last words said it ALL.. "It is finished."

Reply on Leviticus 9:23, Leviticus 8:23,

Leviticus 9:6, Leviticus 9:16, Leviticus 9:23-24, Leviticus 14:14,17,25,28,

Exodus 29:20, possibly symbolic ear = Exodus 15:26, Psalms 10:17, Proverbs 28:9, Luke 12:3

Interestingly it was the high Priest's servant's right ear: Luke 22:50,51, John 18:10,11,12,

Additional scripture about toes & GOD's justice, Judges 1:6,7,

Hopefully these are helpful in your study

I found another scripture right after I replied to you, that I had overlooked. Matthew 10:5-10,

Put your trust in the Lord. Do not trust in other things in this world. Keep trusting in God. Read and meditate in the Bible everyday. Apply scriptures in your life.

Amen Brother Ronald:

Eyes to see and ears to hear.

God Bless you.

Hey Carol,

The Passover lamb, the Lamb of God, there stood a lamb as it had been slain, one perfect sacrifice worthy to open the book. The one who redeemed us to God, one sacrifice for sins forever, Hebrews 10:5-12. As the people in this site, redeemed out of every kindred, every tongue, every people, and every nation.

There is another lamb sacrifice we do not think of that was going on the same time our savior was hanging and suffering on that cross. It is the Tamid a continual offering that the fire never went out, day or night our thoughts to be on God. Exodus 29:38-42, Leviticus 6:1-6 the first and the last.

The morning and evening sacrifice. Jesus and his apostles after the last supper went into the garden of Gethsemane and there Jesus was taken to Annas and then Caiaphas and then early that morning to Pilate to be judged where no fault was found in Him. At the same time this was going on the priest tied the Tamid lamb to the altar and inspected it to make sure there were no blemishes.

Jesus was placed on the cross the third hour, 9 AM same time the first Tamid lamb was sacrificed and placed on the alter, the first hour of prayer. All the sacrifices of the people will be placed on top of the first Tamid lamb.

The 6th hour around noon the second Tamid lamb was brought out and inspected for any blemishes and darkness fell on all the land until the 9th hour around 3 PM. The second hour of prayer the time the second Tamid lamb was sacrificed and placed on top of all the sacrifices, the same time Jesus said it is finished and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost.

Jesus was sacrificed once for all sin, "we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all". Jesus is the first and the last, the sacrifice that is continual forever. Jesus fulfilled all the sacrifices, not just down to the day, but to the very hour itself. His blood as the lamb's blood in Egypt did, will spare us from the second death.

God bless,

RLW

Sorry didnt proof read first..that was to be "such a wonderful song"

In Leviticus 9-23-24 why did Moses put the blood on the right ear and thumbs on right hands and great toes?

Ecclesiasticus 15 v11 say not thou , it is through the Lord that I fell away : for thou oughtest not to do the things he hateth .

20 He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, neither hath he given any man licence to sin .

Part 1

Here is a very important truth that is not discussed often and one that can tie a lot of loose ends.

What does works of the flesh and the works of law have in common? And how does it contrast Fruit of the Spirit. And what does baptism "Not water baptism" has to do with it?

When talking about salvation we like to consider verses like John 3:16. Romans 10:9. and others. But what does born from above spoken by Jesus in John 3:7 means and how should the new birth effect the believer in a way the old nature could not?

Here's just a few reference verses.

Galatians 2:16. Galatians 5:19-21.

Galatians 5:22-24. John 15:1-6.

John 3:7.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

So, then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 8:1-11.

When Isaiah said Kings shall be your nursing fathers and Queens shall be your nursing mothers thats folks that have been impregnated by his GOOD SEED and birth a baby Christ the Child of Promise.... Isaiah 49 : 23

......Kings and Queens are just symbolic language for men and women...that have heard his voice, his good seed and birth a Baby Christ...Which is the H.G. that Children of Promise Thats y he always refers to himself as the Son of man.

.....Thats y he says whosoever receives one such child in my name receives me...The Kingdom...Who is my Mother Jesus asked ,...Then he says them that hear my Words and keeps them...Initiating a heavenly Birth of Christ in us...Men and women are gonna be his mother....Simply b/c we are all gonna birth a Baby Christ....And he is gonna be every ones son...Thats y he always refers to himself as the SON of Man...Which is mankinds fruit unto God....ok

Explain heggai

chapter 1 verse one

Thank you dear brother, have a blessed day.

The lamb that was slain linked to the lambs slain to protect Israel in Egypt

Gi Gi...GBU ...But lemme give ya my take on the parable of the sower and his seed....Jesus tells us the good seed are the Children of the Kingdom....So the good seed are the Children of Promise...which is our new heart and new spirit...Our new innerman a baby Christ...the Child of Promise..The H.G...The multiplication of very God in humanity...God was so passionate about this great Promise that he swore by his very self...But this Promise wd require a GOOD SEED to be sown in Humanity..and a New Covenant... A body has thou prepared me...This Promise wd require a Sower and his precious seed to give birth to a heavenly ppl a Godly ppl which are spirits...As that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the H.G. that Godly ppl that wd be born in Humanity...An Israel of God...As the gift of God is the H.G a Godly ppl that is gonna be born in humanity via his GOOD SEED...The Children of PROMISE is the H.G...OUR NEW INNERMAN..A KINGDOM ...unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in...The very reason that Woman in Rev. 12 is giving birth is simply b/c of the Sower and his PRECIOUS SEED the contents of that book the New Covenant...Her Child is a baby Christ from the seed of the sower....our bridegroom....And THATS Y HE HAS TO KNOW US..No Child NO Kingdom....Unless ya receive the Kingdom of GOD as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in.

.....Plz Note ..the Kingdom of God does not come till the Woman BIRTHS the Children... Rev. 12 : 10....Remember Jesus said the GOOD SEED are the Children of the Kingdom...When Isaiah saw the Kingdom coming....He says unto us a CHILD IS BORN UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN....And thats y we call Jesus the bridegroom....We ALL are gonna birth a baby Christ...the Children of Promise the H.G....And thats how Jesus will be multiplied as the Stars of heaven in multitudes via his seed...The Contents of that Book in the fathers right hand...All of our names are in that book...i will draw all men unto me.

I believe that Psalm 51 are the words of David, his cry to God for forgiveness for his great sin. If these were the Holy Ghost's Words, then they were as a result of the Spirit's conviction upon David bringing him to the point (via the prophet Nathan, 2 Samuel chapter 12) of deep contrition, repentance, & seeking forgiveness. Yes, all of Scripture is Holy Spirit inspired: sometimes as direct words (verbatim) to God's prophets & other times, by filling the heart & guiding the steps of those who need to receive God's Truth.

But the Psalm is clearly not a prophecy of the coming Christ. If Psalm 51:13 is attributed to Jesus as One Who would "teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee", then Jesus was also "shapen in iniquity...needed to be purged with hyssop...have his sins hidden from God...needing a new heart & a right spirit...etc. So, this won't make sense. It is David speaking, that after he is forgiven & restored, will he then be able to bring God's Laws to the people without hypocrisy & sinners may be converted.

Jesus came "in the LIKENESS of sinful flesh and for sin" ( Romans 8:3), but He remained pure throughout His Life unlike David who failed God many times - of whom this Psalm is about.

Hellow brother Fred.

I have never seen a vision, but my wife has seen a few.

When she was going to be baptized in water at the end of the church service, during the preaching she saw at the right hand side of the pastor, elevated from the floor, Lord Jesus Christ sitting on a throne and behind Him an angel was standing having in front of him an inclined board with a book fixed on it. The book was the Book of Life. The angel was waiting for her to get baptized in water so to write her name in the Book of Life. My wife kept seeing this for the all the time that the preaching was taken place.

Praise the Lord, we have a Living God, not myths and fairy tales.
