Isaiah 54:4-5. Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. Here is one of many verses Israel committing fornication, Jeremiah 3:8. And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. Fornication defined properly is essential to understanding scripture.
Lord almighty, give the word!
Give the word! in every nation
Let the Gospel trumpet sound,
Witnessing a world's salvation,
To the earth's remotest bound.
Then the end! Thy Church completed,
All Thy chosen gathered in, ...
Henry Downton, 1866.
"This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Matthew 24:14
Then the end! Thy Church completed,
All Thy chosen gathered in,
With their King in glory seated,
Satan bound, and banished sing
The Message (MSG)
14-15 Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it's logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil's hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death.
Especially verse 15! Don't you?
my grandson and i were talking about drinking and smoking pot and he asked me if it was wrong? he then brought up about a deacon having a little wine and the pastor none. i told him i did not want him to drink, but if he did he must remember what goes in and what comes out. a couple of beers and then you go to bed, i don't see any harm, but would one or two lead to three or four tomorrow? pot has been used down through history by many groups of people to perform releigous services or used in medical healing. however, what was used was called hemp without the thc. if you do smoke you must again remember what goes in and what comes out. are you going to drink to get drunk? cause trouble, hurt someone both physical or mentally? the same with pot. are you going to just mellow out or sin? many have gotten high and had sex with strangers and the next day not remembering anything, but a few days later you go to the doctor and have a disease. what if it is one that there is no cure for? my advice if you do use it, stay at home where youare with those you can trust. i also told him his body was gods temple.
what can you tell me about the pastor drinking no wine and the deacon a little wine? is it ok for the congregation to drink? what would you tell a almost nineteen-year-old?
thank you for your time and help. i pray asking our heavenly father to watch over and bless you all and your families and friends, keeping all of you safe and well every day and every night!
your brother in christ
