What is the purpose of reading understanding Leviticus in these days with the living Jesus Christ is among us?

Please try to explain in depth your answer.

Thanks

Seems as though God had a reason for telling his people not to eat meat that has been killed buy another animal. My take is for us not to get sick, and also because God only wants food for our consumption to be pure because we are to be pure.

Thanks

John 5;47...but if ye belive not his [moses] writings how shall ye belive my words?....faith is at the root of this...trusting in god...

When I read your question, it is a typical one that comes up when you buy into the-sensationalism-of-dispensationalism. However, if you are interested in studying the plan of redemption, from Genesis-through-Revelation (both the FIRST testament, and the SECOND testament), you will find that a c-a-r-e-f-u-l study of the book as a book of instruction shows how the Father and Son had these things inspired for a reason. Did your question come up when King James, and the Bible students of his day put together the 66 books of scripture?

Blessings in your study,

I have seen Psalms 79:6 alternatively been rendered as "Pour our They wrath upon the heathen" and "Pour out They wrath upon the nations"

What could be the significance of the difference between these two words?

I was taught your belief, and it came from JN Darby of the Plymouth brethren back in the 1830s . The Christians like George Miller of Bristol rejected this whole made up fabrication way back then . Scofield Bible promoted this heresy and it became popular among many but still a heresy .

Your opening statement is false , the Apostles where all Jewish the first church that was Jewish too Peter preached to those that actually crucified the Lord in the book of acts 3000 or more converted mostly Jews .

Salvation is to Jews and gentiles . Even to this day , yes some inpart rejected the Messiah , but not all . Israel in whole will be restored when Jesus returns in Glory . So much more could be said . But this doctrine you put forth is false and many believe it to their own damage.

I agree.

Hi, I believe Luke was a proselyte for what it's worth.

I do not want to be contrary, but there are scriptures that are coming to mind.

Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

God says by his prophet that he will tell his people (Israel) what is to come to pass before it happens. Things coming to pass would include both the blessings and judgement. No prophet from between Malachi and Jesus has predicted the extreme and severe and by my heart horrific events that many Jewish believers have suffered.

Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like

unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

This Prophet , Jesus, fulfilled this passage. It is from this Prophet, Jesus Christ on that will predict what is yet to come to pass before it passes for all people including all Jews and Gentiles.

Hi, Will the sceptre return to Judah when the Messiah returns? Is the tribe of Judah still honored by it's brethren as Jacob promised, in the position of the tribes. I think this promise was to be unbroken.

I am interested to understand this promise because I believe that when the Messiah comes again, time will be no more, only the harvest.

Carleton

The Harvest has been ongoing. I believe the Holy Spirit is that; He sets up divine appointments. Especially if someone is praying for another's salvation.

When I got saved I was heavily into evangelizing. I still am. I can do it in the prayer room and I can pray to the Lord of the Harvest to bring us all in range of each other.

I got a lot to pray about. I finally watched that movie: the Passion, made by Mel Gibson. Very violent. I'm thinking about all the Catholics coming in here with so many questions about what they believe in and, what we believe in. We need to pray for a revival in that church before it's too late.

Rituals don't work too well. Only knowing.

I hope Chris comes back soon. He knows all about what they are taught. That's why all of the Body of Christ needs each other. Jesus is counting on us to learn ways to reach the lost. To care about their mortal souls. My neighbor is older too, Catholic, and she's perfectly happy that nobody tells her to repent.

I even wish Bob Hilt would come back and use his scripture location memory to minister to Catholics (instead of the Jews).

All we can do is let Jesus know we're available to learn something new.

Yes, we are there now!

I have walked inside of the old Catholic Church building in the old part of Albuquerque, NM and up front is a casket in a glass case and inside the casket is a replica of Jesus. I have also seen this same presentation at another old Catholic Church building in the bottom of the Copper Canyon in Mexico. The body (replica) of Jesus still in the casket in both places. Are there more?

Perhaps someone has an answer how this could be?

Carleton

not sure why you would look for those. Jesus was never in a casket, and He is alive.

As Mishael said it is hideous and I agree. And yes, I do not suggests that many should see the same thing, as it is very upsetting. I imagine if there are two forgotten old churches that have not removed their caskets from the public's view that there are more.

Carleton

How hideous! I did not know of such things. I once worked in an office with a catholic priest. I remarked on a picture of Jesus he had on his desk, and he launched into a full demonstration of his relics.

I lived in New Mexico 15 years. Not much to do there. That's where I first met Jesus.

Yes, very heinous indeed! I was a practicing Catholic for 33 years and when the Lord led me through His word I was horrified when I realized the idolatry in which I had participated...I wept bitter tears but praise God, I am forgiven! The last time I had to attend a mass for a funeral, I was happy to find that I can no longer recite the mass in robotic fashion as I had since I was a child. Even though I had not participated verbally in 20 years, your mind can't help but follow along because it is so ingrained.

Praise God for His word and the freedom He gives!!!!

Chris, who teaches in here every day, will be back soon. I hope you will meet him and tell him your testimony. He's very knowledgeable about Catholicism, and what it all means. A very good person.

Where in the bible is the outcry of the slaughter of the innocence? Also for people to make a choice before theirs words fall upon death ears.

Jeremiah 2:34

Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.

Jeremiah 19:4

Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

See also Jeremiah 31:15 This happened in Bethlehem after Mary and Joseph had left to flee into Egypt because Herod was seeking to kill newborn Jesus.

Where in the Bible does it say that 7 years prior to the tribulation there will be a caught up to meet the Lord in the air ?

Also when they do meet the Lord in the air , where are they going ? Answer to Jerusalem, or forever in the clouds you pick . The Lord is going to reign so yes we are forever with the Lord where he is .
