In the Bible, Cherubim are heavenly beings appointed by God as guards in Eden ( Genesis 3:24). They were depicted as carvings at either side of the Mercy Seat on the Ark in the Tabernacle ( Exodus 25:18-21). Their figures were woven into the veil in the Tabernacle ( Exodus 26:1). The Lord is seen symbolically riding on one ( Ezekiel 10:1-22).
Many have their interpretations of the function of Cherubim. I generally understand them as a type of angel (or, heavenly being) that are appointed as guards of God's Throne or His Holiness & symbols of His Mercy to all. This is largely taken from their position on the Mercy Seat. Then we have the other beings called Seraph/Seraphim that serve before God's Throne awaiting His Commands & are involved in purification as in Isaiah 6:1-7. What their actual functions are now, especially in light of the resurrected & ascended Lord Jesus at God's right Hand, isn't revealed.
Ex 25:19And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
Ex 37:8One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
2 Sam 22:11And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
1 King 6:24And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
1 King 6:25And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
1 King 6:26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
1 King 6:27And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
2 Chr 3:11And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
2 Chr 3:12And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
Ezra 2:59And these were they which went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:
Neh 7:61And these were they which went up also from Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel.
Ps 18:10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
Ezek
Romans 1:20-25 speaks well on this abnormality. Even though, he who is not inclined to believe in a supernatural creator & may not set up idols to worship, yet he is persuaded that he is his own god & answerable to none else, & that his goodness comes from within him or because of compulsion from a worldly authority. To him, the rejection of God, of His creative Powers, of His Love & interest in the affairs of His creation, is an absurdity & this only shows to us who believe & to the heavenly host, that the 'light' that man believes he has, is in fact the light that leads him to greater darkness. The path he chooses may seem right but the end of it ultimately brings him to spiritual ruin ( Proverbs 16:25).
He often taught and did healings and deliverances on Sabbath Day in Jewish culture. He made many of a Pharisee hopping mad about saying, "HE IS LORD OF THE SABBATH."
Save your emails, because I'm not going to ascribe to your interpretations.
The key point is, When You Meet Corporately. I understand the theology of: "But that's the way we've always done it."
Jesus has showed us something More (can I say this? ), User Friendly.
When we are in a corporate setting: the Word is Preached, people come to the front to receive Christ as Savior. People are healed, set free from sickness and demonic invasion. Communion is served.
That's the way it's supposed to work. I used to enjoy Sundays spent in Church. After, everyone brought their Sunday dinners and we all ate together. Kids played games, people sang duets on the lawn....
How very sweet spirited: just enjoying Jesus. It had this "mental and emotional" healing kind of atmosphere. People bared their souls: someone would pop up and say let's Pray :)
Now, people watch their wrist watches, praying the Preacher will conclude in time, so they will make their reservations at THE restaurant, on time, to "be seen at". Cold and clammy, like clams. We've lost that family feeling that Church should embody.
Jesus loves His Church? How does this affect Him. I wonder? I think He's coming back soon. People are falling away; apostatizing or just plain wandering off. That's written in the Bible.
Sit in your closet with Jesus (who is at the right hand of God, interceding for all Saints). And pray with Him for the survival of our Churches. He knows who is, and who is not, praying alongside Him. We're going to spend eternity with Him! Why don't we start now, to covet His Presence?

God chose to punish the son who looked, laughed and gossiped. He hates gossip and Backbiting.
Why are you taking issue with God in the first place? Who made you judge?
It is with righteous judgment we are allowed. But Gods judgments are final, He cannot even look on sin. That's why we all need a Savior.
Be careful when you begin criticizing God the same way people on Twitter discuss, trash others characters and publish it to the world. Doesn't that sorta sound like what Ham did to his Dad?
The end of the Book of Revelation....backbiters will not go to heaven.
Criticism and ridicule are not fruits of The Holy Spirit.
But was it a punishable 'sin' in those days & in that situation Noah was in? Today, we say that drunkenness is sin because of alcohol's effect on the mind likely resulting in sinful action. So we are warned to stay away from alcohol, or else maybe to take some for "our stomach's sake" ( 1 Timothy 5:3), and that too, just a little wine.
Enter Noah: he was a farmer growing a fruitful vineyard & after juicing his grapes, fermenting them for an extra kick, he wanted to sample some of his hard work. He drank a little more than he should have, started to feel a tad warm, shed off some clothing to cool off in his tent & son Ham happens to walk by & lingers at his door. We're not told whether Noah's inebriation led him to do anything wrong or even have sinful thoughts - just that he drank his wine to the point of being drunk & was uncovered. Without trying to make excuses for Noah, I don't see anything amiss from what we are given to read - he drank too much & fell asleep. But you might be seeing something more in this account.
Thank u so very much :)
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Psalms 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
Psalms 66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
Psalms 86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
I Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the saviour of ALL men, specially of those who believe.
Greetings to you all. I am conflicted. If the King James Bible should be the only Bible to use, why is that so if King James was a Freemason and God highly frowns upon the Masons because they ultimately worship Lucifer? Please advise.
Wesley's Notes for Romans 11:29
11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance - God does not repent of his gifts to the Jews, or his calling of the gentiles.
People's Bible Notes for Romans 11:29
Ro 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance. God does not change his purposes or fail to keep his covenant. What he has promised concerning Israel will be fulfilled.

Comment by Mishael: Jonah tried to run away from Gods call on his life. But in the end, he turned back and a whole city repented. Welcome back, Brother.
I believe that you are correct.
( Lev 18:8)
"The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness."
The act of seeing the nakedness of your father is to have intercourse your father's wife.
"Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt" ( Deuteronomy 27:20), also look at ( Deuteronomy 22:30).
That is why Ham is the father of Canaan ( Genesis 9:22), and why Noah said "cursed be Canaan" Genesis 9:25. (although I personally believe Noah should have condemned Ham for his actions and not Canaan, the innocent result, but Noah isn't perfect).
I saw an entire 4 story office get ptomaine (sp) food poisoning because they left the chili sitting out all night. I had a sink in my dark room.... it was brutal. My boss used it.
Not me. I skipped lunch that day.
Always ask Jesus to bless and sanctify the food clean, to be consumed.
In the rooms past history pages(1-100) at the bottom, there's a google story about the sanctions President Trump put on Chinese exported meats and foods; is because they test positive for swine flu. Everybody get a flu shot this year. Pray over that bacon!
Romans 14:1-6
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Also verse 14:
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Mark 7:18-20
18 And he(Jesus) saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
Along with the post, verse, you wrote which was God speaking to Noah. It is just my belief that the whole thing about "unclean" animals was just something made up by the pharisees. Of coarse I cannot proove this but I don't think any food or meat is really unclean. As we have these other verses backing this up. Today it seems we have all this GMO stuff which I don't like. I try to stay away from it but I don't feel guilty if I eat something with it. Hope this helps. God Bless.
