Hebrews 10:26-31 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Turn to the Lord Jesus Christ through His word. Receive Him. Follow Him. Repent from the sins of this world and of the flesh.
God Bless everyone.

I agree. To REPENT is to change your mind...
About sin-acknowledging my sinful, rebellious hopeless reprobate state before The Holy Righteous God
About Jesus-acknowledging that Jesus paid the penalty for my sin in His death, burial and resurrection
One interesting fact that differentiates the Protestant and Roman Catholic view of REPENTANCE, is in the Douay-Rheims Bible (DRB) translation.
"And saying, REPENT ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Mat 3:2 KJV
"And saying: DO PENANCE: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Mat 3:2 DRB
"Bring forth therefore fruits meet for REPENTANCE:" Mat 3:8 KJV
"Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of PENANCE." Mat 3:8 DRB
In contrast to REPENTANCE, PENANCE is self effort in that "he who sins must repent AND as far as possible MAKE REPARATION to Divine justice." Catholic Encyclopedia
it is a voluntary and sincere change in the mind of the sinner, causing him to turn from his sin, it should be noted here I said sin (singular) and not sins (plural). True repentance involves the turning from one specific sin, the previous rejection of Christ. Jesus spelled this out very clearly for us in John chapter 16. It is expedient for you that I go away: I will send the Comforter unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
2 Corinthians 7:10 "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." As you can see, "repentance" is not being sorrow for your sins; it is the Godly sorrow that causes a person to Change his mind (Repent). picture this: a man does not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, someone tells him the Gospel that Paul preached to the Gentiles; the man is sorry he has rejected Christ, he repents (Changes his mind), and Believes that Christ died for his sins, according to the scriptures, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later, and receives Christ as savior the second he believes it And is sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption.
This Psalm was written in response to the destruction of The Temple in 586 BC by the Babylonians. The was God's own temple, and the psalmist is crying out to God to strike back at the Babylonian heathens. But this attack and the 70 years of captivity, were all part of God's plan to punish the Jewish nation and its people for straying from true worship of Him.
After the 70 years, some of the people returned and tried to rebuild the temple, but the results were disappointing.
God had warned them centuries before in Deuteronomy, what would happen, and it did.
Thank you .

trafficking. As I remember God being my strength. So I believe that books are still being written. because we search for God and God comforts us and corrects us in words . As well as in our hearts and souls. Just my opinion..
I feel that you already understand where you are falling short & where you'd like to be, so it's really a matter of just getting on & doing it, allowing God's Spirit to lead you & equip you. If for your problem of selfish desires, then seek opportunities to help someone else or give for another's needs: both you & them will be blessed for this act of Christian love.
Ambition is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you're wanting to elevate yourself or trample over others to achieve your goal, then give others the opportunity to get there first (maybe by first discussing it with them) & if they decline, then go ahead; in this way, you won't feel that you're forcing yourself to go higher.
Getting involved in some Church ministry: with kids, youth, church camps, sharing in Bible studies, will also help in placing yourself in a 'servant' category, rather than one to be served (see Matthew 20:25-28; Philippians 2:2-8: examples of the Servant-hood of Christ & of his children).
Any involvement with your Church Fellowship will foster opportunities to serve others & gradually allow the Spirit to give you that spirit of being a true servant of the Lord to others & not to keep yourself in your focus.
1. There are no apostles today, only the twelve in Jesus' day. In 1 Corinthians 12:28, Paul lists the appointments & functions in the Church. The mention of "first apostles", indicates that upon the teaching of Christ which the apostles faithfully preached, the Church is established: Jesus as the "chief cornerstone" & then comes then apostles with their teaching. Those that claim to be apostles today might be referring to their call & duties in the Church, but cannot claim biblical support for such a title as they don't meet its criteria.
2. Women do not have biblical warrant for appointment to the positions you mentioned in the Church. This is something that some Churches do for their own reasons, but not according to God's Plan.
3. There are some who claim descendancy to the Tribe of Levi, specifically to Aaron. And if so, they are given the privilege, in the synagogue, to read from the Torah. They serve the priests (Kohanim), as they did in the old days. Many have made claim to this Tribe, some false, others apparently true according to DNA testing. Those particularly who are of the Ashkenazim & Sephardim people, have shown to have a very high probability to having such connection.
