Please check back in an hour or more. Thank you for your patience!
with a friend, and I went up for communion. A Catholic friend of mine later told me that the custom in the
Church is that you must first go to confession with a priest before taking communion. Is that practice based
on anything in Scripture?
Also, isn't "preaching" different from teaching? They aren't in rule over men but if truly called by God, doing what she is called to do.
Sorry, lol, this leads to this. If, the verse is to be held above cultural values, how do we justify women in Sunday school teachers?
I see this used by some pastors and husband's using this verse to pit women "in their place!". I'm not a feminist or supporting an anti church organization. I'm doing an independent study and getting different views. Be blessed, safe and Merry Christmas!
does not know you there will be no seed deposited in your heart thus no Child of Promise which is the H.G. .That was
the great Promise that Christ wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven ,and thats y the sower of that good seed wants to Sow his precious seed in our hearts, That you might be bornagain of an incorruptible seed etc....That Woman in rev 12
that is giving birth is a perfect example of what that good seed can accomplish even a king and a kingdom....Remember
Joseph was born that another Child might be added to Rachel which was Benjamin. But in the spritual realm there is another Child added to Jesus which is the H.G. That CHILD OF Promise .Remember Solomon saw a second CHILD stand up in his stead . I saw the 2 nd Child that SHALL stand up in his stead ( Christ stead ) and there is no end of the ppl he shall be king over which is the H.G. That stands up in the place of Christ , Whosoever receives one such child in my name receive me. G G Remember the H.G FELL ON THEM THAT HEARD HIS WORDS ( HIS SEEDS) Thus the H.G. CAN BE BORN INHUMANITY , His breath was his word and his Word is his seeds when he breathe on them they were impregnated thats y he said b/c i have spoken these words SORROWS HAVE FILLED YOUR HEARTS Which IS A SPRITUAL Pregnancy the Child is spirit as that which is born of the spirit is spirit the H.G. That Child of Promise. G G REMEMBER THAT GREAT PROMISE WAS MULTIPLICATION OF VERY GOD. In that God himself swore by his very self
and there is none greater then God.
And I lift my voice
To worship you
Oh my soul rejoice
Take joy, my king
In what you hear
May it be a sweet sweet sound
In your ear

[I can't sleep, I keep hearing this song.
Prophesy is ramping up in Israel. Today the Pope said a two state solution was the best deal. The meeting was attended by every nation EXCEPT the Jews. They want Israel to give up ALL of the West Bank!! The Pope wants Israel to divide the LAND.
The end seems to be upon us
John 3, has everything you need to get started.
After receiving Jesus as your Lord, Then He baptises you with the promise of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
One of Holy Spirits ministry is to be your Teacher in all things concerning Jesus. He helps you to pray rightly. He helps you to understand what you read in the Bible.
When we are new in Jesus we may not be ready to receive speaking in tongues. It is for to rest in Jesus, and be His beloved child.
To fast track what the Holy Spirit does, it may be easier to Google: Ministry of the Holy Spirit to Believers.
He gives the gifts and operations as you are ready to receive them. It also means quieting yourself, and just sitting before Him; in an attitude of quiet and listening. You may think of a Church song you love: sing it. "Enter His gates with praise."
A barrier to hearing, is the constant pollution of a tv on in the background. We do that because we don't like our thought life. Holy Spirit is not going to shout revelation, over the noise of the world from tv. He waits for us to quiet ourselves.
Songs I may sing to Jesus: Nothing But the Blood of Jesus; Jesus Loves Me; I have decided to follow Jesus; I walk the line by Johnny Cash. Be Exalted,O God.
[Praise songs will fire up prayer life]
God inhabits our praises and angels hearken to our praises and spoken scriptures.

Great read. I like to add some input on the blessings Jacob gave his sons.
I believe the blessings to Abraham and Issac went through the Lineage of Judah.
Here's why.
Genesis 22:18.
Galatians 3:14.
Galatians 3:16.
Now here is Judahs blessing.
Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
THE SCEPTRE SHALL NOT DEPART FROM JUDAH, NOR A LAWGIVER FROM BETWEEN HIS FEET, UNTIL SHILOH COME; AND UNTO HIM SHALL THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE BE.
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. Genesis 49:8-12.
Abraham's blessing to Issac was because he was Promised! He was God's doing! We are children of Promise as well.
Galatians 4:28.
Ishmael was the works of their own hands "Works of the flesh " ( This has a lot of spiritual application )
Here is the Contrast of the two.
Galatians 4:29-31.
Verse 30 says Issac is the heir this connects him to the promise on through Jacob on Judah to Christ. Revelation 5:5.
What's interesting is Jacob blessing Joseph sons out of order instituting the reverse sovereign order of the firstborn as seen in Romans 9:11-12. Romans 9:11.
("that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;")
I believe we see the contract of Works and Grace, Flesh and Spirit, The narrow gate and the wide gate. And the putting asleep of Abraham when the unconditional covenant was made. All in These verses.
God bless you and Good night.
After returning from Canaan, Joseph's brother begin to worry that Joseph will take revenge on them now that their father has died. After 17 years you would think that they would know that Joseph had no such intention. But, perhaps they did not have very much contact with Joseph considering is position in the government. Joseph once again assured them that he will treat them with lovingkindness because he had truly forgiven them, thus exemplifying Christ.
Joseph must have been about 55 when Jacob died. He lived another 55 years. He saw his sons grow up and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Interesting one was named specifically saying he was brought up on Joseph's knees. Macher must have been a favored grandchild.
Joseph provided for his family and his brothers and their families for all the years he was them. When he was close to death, he promised his brethren that God would visit them and take them back to Canaan. He asked his brothers to take an oath to carry his remain back to Canaan and bury them with his forefathers. It doesn't recount him giving a blessing on his children, perhaps because is father already had done so.
The story of Joseph's life is a truly amazing. God never left him forsaken, but blessed him richly in every circumstance, making him a man of God.
I have not studied these prophecies in depth yet, but I do understand some. To Judah will be the monarchy (scepter). Simeon and Levi will not have their own portion of land, but will be scattered into all of the land portions of the other brothers. I guess I will have to google search more on this.
It is interesting that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all seemed to know when they were to give their blessings. Abraham and Jacob both died right after blessing their children. Isaac lived more than 20 years after he gave Jacob the birthright blessing, but he thought he was near death when he gave it. What a blessing to be able to gather your family and bless them, recount how God worked in one's life, and die in peace.
Here's a few scriptures perhaps something to help or give thought to several topics.
1 Peter 1:19-21.
I make this 1st Scripture a significant point of interest because if all get saved in the end regardless then that renders the word Salvation obsolete. So we righteously argue that if that was the case why spill the blood of our Precious Lord as Brother Chris has stated?
I believe here's another factor when combining the above verse with this one.
Hebrews 10:7.
Psalms 40:7.
I believe When considering all scripture it ties some way or another to the Lord's redemption plan.
Sense the plan of salvation was drawn up before the foundation of the world and the volume of the book is written of Christ it don't only render salvation obsolete it render the volume of the book obsolete.
We would no longer have scripture to reason with.
Part 2.
Also when considering the 2 trees in the Garden we must consider this redemption plan was purposed to come by Christ before either of these trees were made! And also consider the volume of the book was written of Christ. I believe that eating of the tree of life has its role in this as well! Atleast in a way to set the plan in motion.
" My thought here is inconclusive "
But here is why I mentioned it. Look at the results from eating of the tree.
Genesis 3:21. I believe this significant piece of scripture is part of the volume of the book mentioned and the first blood atonement sacrifice pointing ahead to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39.
God bless.
It is interesting that this is the first time Jacob meets Joseph's sons. Where were they all the years Jacob was in Goshen, Egypt? Did is mother keep them from Joseph's family?
Jacob first calls Joseph to him when he knows that his death is near. He wants to give the birthright blessing to one of Joseph's sons. And he puts his right hand (the hand of blessing) on the second born, not the first. He blesses both.
Joseph receives a double blessing from his father.
Makes me think that back before Joseph went to Egypt, and Joseph was Jacob's favored son, God must have told Jacob that the blessing he received from his father Isaac over Esau, and Isaac received from Abraham over Ishmael was to go to Joseph. This blessing had the promises of Abraham, Isaac , and Jacob attached to it. It identifies the one God will bless exceedingly with descendants, possession of the land, and walk with God.

What does Apostle Paul's former marital status if he had one) have to do with anything?
It Has nothing to do with whether we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Paul was hunting down Christians and killing them in the name of the Emperor. He had Steven the evangelist, stoned to death. He was on his way to Damascus to order some more deaths, when Jesus confronted him.
As a believer, Paul endured much persecution, physical trauma, imprisionments, stoning, running for his life, chained to a Roman guard (who got saved). He had a thorn in the flesh. (I have a thorn in the flesh. It's no picnic!)
But Paul was not the winner in persecutions. The other Apostles suffered heinous deaths also. Jesus chose each and everyone of them. He can do anything with a willing Believer. Even us.
We can answer their questions and win some to Christ__or present more questions than answers.
Do all colors come from black?
Or the reverse: do all colors come from white ?
Comment= artists' know of these things. It takes skill to find the elements on earth (Creation) to produce colors for painting.
Do you ever stand in your closet and look at what colors your clothes are? Mine are black, gray, dark greens, purple, taupe. I don't care zip what analysts say either. :D
I leave you to ponder and ask God why humans are the colors that they are?
Get a large coffee, there's a hundred links on that Google query.
