Leaving the safety of God's presence, we have brought unto ourselves troubles and cursing. Our enemies are before us and we are under their heavy hand because of our sins before you, Lord. We must confess, repent and fall on the mercies of God and on His grace. May we remember the blessings of old from the Lord's hand and that we may be again under the protective wings of our Lord God almighty. Bless us with your peace, and comfort. August 2021

Rick,

Thanks for sharing that. I agree, Christ is the head of the body, and I agree that He is the bridegroom. As for the bride, when Christ comes for His bride, I see it as Him coming for His church. I see the church, the body of Christ being His bride.

Again, thanks for sharing your perspective!

Rapture ? If you are a fan of blonde , an her hit song in the 80's , yup rapture, but if you Please read Ezekiel chapter 13 , you'll see teaching fly to save your soul , is infuriating to our Heavenly Father,.. Jesus is coming here ,.. there is no such thing as rapture in Gods word , an please be careful sn have a good KJV ,.. not an NIV ,. NIV is short for nonsense idiot version,..

What (time frame) are we in, in the Scriptures?

Rick,

Back in Genesis Chapter 37, we are told about Joseph and his brothers. If you remember the story, there were twelve brothers. And Joseph was given a dream. And he says the sun and moon and 11 stars bowed down and worshipped me.

The sun and the moon represented Joseph's parents. Jacob is head of the 12, where the 12 tribes came from, and then the twelve stars representing the 12 tribes of Israel. Eleven stars being his 11 brothers bowing down to him, the twelfth star.

So Genesis Chapter 37 is where we get the sun and the moon, and the twelve stars. This is the nation Israel. And the Messiah was prophesied to come through Israel.

This is Hebrews 13 chapter study. But there is discussion for Psalms 27 just as for Hebrews is here.

No offence but it think Psalms 27 very well explains itself. I read slowly and maybe 2-3 times and pray and think.

Brenda Nice addition I'm soaking it up so to speak. I.E. I agree

Children's Prayer to Say Every Day

Every Day Prayer

He wakes me up; He makes me sleep.

Provides for me the food I eat.

When I cry, I call on Him,

Because I know with Him I win.

Even through the hardest day,

I trust in Him in every way.

He's the One who sees me through,

Jesus lives, I know it's true.

With loving-kindness, He smiles on me.

Because He died, I am free.

Lord, for all, I thank you so,

I know you'll never let me go!

John in the dispensation of LAW spoke of "one" who is to come, whose shoe lacthet he is unworthy to unloose. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost ,and fire. When Christ came he ALLOWED John to BAPTIZE Him, showing the need for REPENTANCE. John was preaching and also baptizing UNTO repentance.

Christ "the promised redeemer" commissioned that this be done in his name. By now baptizing in His name, He fulfilled it in the LAW which was the schoolmaster that could not save, BUT, through his name "Jesus" REMISSION (removal) of sins is now given.

There are TWO dispensations, LAW and GRACE. Grace abounds. He came to FULFILL the LAW and SHOW us that THROUGH HIM -GREATER things WILL and ONLY can be done (GRACE). This He did and showed his disciples(followers of Christ). (KJV Acts 2:38) Repent and be baptized..; Galatians 3:26-27.

Please note that we are now living in the dispensation of Grace. For this Christ came to set things in order and give unto men the PLAN of SALVATION

Whats is Revelation 12:1 describing possibly?

Many likely have noticed that Daniel's visions help the elect of the "thy people" in earthly governments in time to reach by faith the Government established in Christ Jesus. The visions of Daniel and the prophets of old end at Christ and new visions by born again believers begin in Christ Jesus. John by Revelation like Daniel was granted visions of the gospel age, from Jesus to the end of time which are spiritual in understanding. Thus, we must be born again to understand this present Kingdom of Peace and the time that remains. It is later than many think.

Adam, Excellent! "Even children understand the concept of the Godhead or trinity- it's straight from God's word." Yes, child-like faith! They can easily see the "triune" concept all over God's Creation, Also. ie:

THREE time, space, and matter = ONE universe!

THREE proton, neutron, and electron = ONE atom!! etc, etc, etc...

Back to God's Word Of Truth:

THREE body AND soul AND spirit = ONE human ( 1 Thessalonians 5:23)!!! Amen?

Amen, Precious brother Adam! Excellent!! "There's so much Scriptural Proof we run out of space to post them all." At "my current rate" of posting probably about 40 of these 2000 character boxes oughta do it :( Praise HIM Anyway!!! See you In HIS Great GloryLand :)

Amen, And AMEN! Alex, Precious friend = Excellent!! = God, The SON!!!:

Heb 1:4 Being MADE SO MUCH BETTER than the angels, as HE hath by inheritance obtained a MORE EXCELLENT NAME than they.

Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said He at any time, THOU ARE MY SON, this day have I begotten THEE? And again, I will be to HIM A Father, and HE SHALL BE TO ME A SON?

Heb 1:6 And again, when He Bringeth in The Firstbegotten into the world, He Saith, And let ALL the angels of God WORSHIP HIM.

Heb 1:7 And of the angels He Saith, Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.

Heb 1:8 But Unto THE SON He Saith, THY Throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. = "GOD, The SON!" Plain And CLEAR!!

Praise HIM Now And ForEverMore! Amen?

Jesse Saw the comment thought i would give my perspective the way I understand it Christ is the head of the Body of Christ and He was the Bride Groom in the Gospels and Israel was the bride, like I said that's my perspective. In His Service

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.

GO TO THE BECOME A BELIEVER link on the Red Links Page. Go through the steps and pray To Receive Jesus and his SALVATION. Then share that with family and friends you really love.

Find a church, or find one on the FM Radio, or try Greg Laurie on YouTube. You and I are the Little Flock. Stay strong

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!
