    In Leviticus 9-23-24 why did Moses put the blood on the right ear and thumbs on right hands and great toes?

    Ecclesiasticus 15 v11 say not thou , it is through the Lord that I fell away : for thou oughtest not to do the things he hateth .

    20 He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, neither hath he given any man licence to sin .

    Part 1

    Here is a very important truth that is not discussed often and one that can tie a lot of loose ends.

    What does works of the flesh and the works of law have in common? And how does it contrast Fruit of the Spirit. And what does baptism "Not water baptism" has to do with it?

    When talking about salvation we like to consider verses like John 3:16. Romans 10:9. and others. But what does born from above spoken by Jesus in John 3:7 means and how should the new birth effect the believer in a way the old nature could not?

    Here's just a few reference verses.

    Galatians 2:16. Galatians 5:19-21.

    Galatians 5:22-24. John 15:1-6.

    John 3:7.

    There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

    For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

    For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

    That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

    For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

    For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

    Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

    So, then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

    But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

    And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 8:1-11.

    When Isaiah said Kings shall be your nursing fathers and Queens shall be your nursing mothers thats folks that have been impregnated by his GOOD SEED and birth a baby Christ the Child of Promise.... Isaiah 49 : 23

    ......Kings and Queens are just symbolic language for men and women...that have heard his voice, his good seed and birth a Baby Christ...Which is the H.G. that Children of Promise Thats y he always refers to himself as the Son of man.

    .....Thats y he says whosoever receives one such child in my name receives me...The Kingdom...Who is my Mother Jesus asked ,...Then he says them that hear my Words and keeps them...Initiating a heavenly Birth of Christ in us...Men and women are gonna be his mother....Simply b/c we are all gonna birth a Baby Christ....And he is gonna be every ones son...Thats y he always refers to himself as the SON of Man...Which is mankinds fruit unto God....ok

  • Alex N - In Reply on Psalms 97 - 3 years ago
    Gi Gi...GBU ...But lemme give ya my take on the parable of the sower and his seed....Jesus tells us the good seed are the Children of the Kingdom....So the good seed are the Children of Promise...which is our new heart and new spirit...Our new innerman a baby Christ...the Child of Promise..The H.G...The multiplication of very God in humanity...God was so passionate about this great Promise that he swore by his very self...But this Promise wd require a GOOD SEED to be sown in Humanity..and a New Covenant... A body has thou prepared me...This Promise wd require a Sower and his precious seed to give birth to a heavenly ppl a Godly ppl which are spirits...As that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the H.G. that Godly ppl that wd be born in Humanity...An Israel of God...As the gift of God is the H.G a Godly ppl that is gonna be born in humanity via his GOOD SEED...The Children of PROMISE is the H.G...OUR NEW INNERMAN..A KINGDOM ...unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in...The very reason that Woman in Rev. 12 is giving birth is simply b/c of the Sower and his PRECIOUS SEED the contents of that book the New Covenant...Her Child is a baby Christ from the seed of the sower....our bridegroom....And THATS Y HE HAS TO KNOW US..No Child NO Kingdom....Unless ya receive the Kingdom of GOD as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in.

    .....Plz Note ..the Kingdom of God does not come till the Woman BIRTHS the Children... Rev. 12 : 10....Remember Jesus said the GOOD SEED are the Children of the Kingdom...When Isaiah saw the Kingdom coming....He says unto us a CHILD IS BORN UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN....And thats y we call Jesus the bridegroom....We ALL are gonna birth a baby Christ...the Children of Promise the H.G....And thats how Jesus will be multiplied as the Stars of heaven in multitudes via his seed...The Contents of that Book in the fathers right hand...All of our names are in that book...i will draw all men unto me.

    I believe that Psalm 51 are the words of David, his cry to God for forgiveness for his great sin. If these were the Holy Ghost's Words, then they were as a result of the Spirit's conviction upon David bringing him to the point (via the prophet Nathan, 2 Samuel chapter 12) of deep contrition, repentance, & seeking forgiveness. Yes, all of Scripture is Holy Spirit inspired: sometimes as direct words (verbatim) to God's prophets & other times, by filling the heart & guiding the steps of those who need to receive God's Truth.

    But the Psalm is clearly not a prophecy of the coming Christ. If Psalm 51:13 is attributed to Jesus as One Who would "teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee", then Jesus was also "shapen in iniquity...needed to be purged with hyssop...have his sins hidden from God...needing a new heart & a right spirit...etc. So, this won't make sense. It is David speaking, that after he is forgiven & restored, will he then be able to bring God's Laws to the people without hypocrisy & sinners may be converted.

    Jesus came "in the LIKENESS of sinful flesh and for sin" ( Romans 8:3), but He remained pure throughout His Life unlike David who failed God many times - of whom this Psalm is about.

    Hellow brother Fred.

    I have never seen a vision, but my wife has seen a few.

    When she was going to be baptized in water at the end of the church service, during the preaching she saw at the right hand side of the pastor, elevated from the floor, Lord Jesus Christ sitting on a throne and behind Him an angel was standing having in front of him an inclined board with a book fixed on it. The book was the Book of Life. The angel was waiting for her to get baptized in water so to write her name in the Book of Life. My wife kept seeing this for the all the time that the preaching was taken place.

    Praise the Lord, we have a Living God, not myths and fairy tales.

    I don't have knowledge of portions of this 'gospel' being found in the DSS. And I can understand your view of these writings, that which engenders greater authenticity to Jesus' Life & Divinity, even filling that wide gap of missing years of His Life not recorded in the Bible, but I see this book differently.

    There are two matters here: I believe that Jesus was sinless from birth to the day of His Death & Resurrection - He had no sin nature to which Satan could appeal to, unless like us sinners who can easily & justifiably give in to Satan's temptations & seductions. Whereas in this Infancy Gospel, I see Jesus' Character totally out of line with sinlessness & holiness. If Jesus can curse & kill a boy who emptied out the water Jesus had collected; or get so angry so as to kill another boy for accidentally bumping Him, then I'm sorry, this is not the Jesus of the Bible, Who was spotless & did nothing evil, not even with a whiff of sin.

    Secondly, I accept only the Bible as we have now, as the full body of Truth that is given to us to know & understand. Everything else has to be measured up against it, and if that's not to be the case, what other yardstick do we use to ensure that we're reading the Truth? I understand that some folk accept all Scripture, whether canonized, apocryphal or other spurious writings as valid, because it is there for their learning. However, I place much greater stringent controls on what should be accepted, simply because my faith & manner of living before God depend on it. Therefore, the life of Jesus, whether lived as a child or a man, has to be consistent, without any sin or hypocrisy evident. Unfortunately, this Infancy Gospel actually causes me to question Jesus' purity rather than to be blessed by His Acts of Divinity.
  • T. Levis - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I'm curious to why you're asking? I may be able to help more with the reasoning of the thought behind the question.

    I think some have interpreted: Revelation 12:4, not as "stars" in concordance in this website; defined ="star"

    Hints of more= Mark 13:25
  • T. Levis - In Reply on Galatians 5 - 3 years ago
    Web definitions of today's English

    Emulation = definition; ambition to equal or excel others, usually by imitation. Example try to be like the other guy, Copying someone to compete with them.

    The definition for today of Sedition was changed during a time referred to as the " Elizabethan Era, carried into the US Colonies,

    Sedition = speech or conduct, causing people to rebel against governing authority.

    This meaning of Sedition became controversial after the American Independence.

    1798 new legal definitions were brought, called "alien & sedition acts" to prevent French takeover, on & on.

    Biblical in this website's concordance = sedition = division, dissention, standing appart, Romans 16:17, 1Corinthians 3:3,

    Probably more towards causing division within the body of Christ.

    Emulation = envy, jealousy, indignation,

    This website also had = envious contentious rivalry, jealousy with these verses listed : Romans 13:13, 1Corinthians 3:3, James 3:14,16, & several others noted with variance in original texts. If you'd like to break it down even more, that tool is available. If you click on the verse: Galatians 5:20, the verse page at the bottom, has every word in verse broken down, tap the words for translation & definition.

    Hopefully this is helpful

    Thank you for your reply...I actually viewed this gospel differently, and as giving credence to Jesus' divinity due to his unbelievable powers, and the many miracles he performed, ... and also, as a way to give credence to the authority of the Age of Accountability...I did not see him as a spoiled magician. I understand that portions of this gospel have been found in the Dead Sea Scrolls...any knowledge of that? I do see how some people i.e. Catholics, could interpret it differently, and thus would feel that it should be omitted.

    You know that there are many Bibles in foreign countries that contain additional gospels that our KJV 66 do not contain!

    What is sedition and emulation?
  • Giannis - In Reply on Psalms 48 - 3 years ago
    So knowing what the gender of nouns (that in English are of neutral gender) are in Hebrew and Greek explains why they are often presented as women or men. This happens in many other languages like say German, neutral gender nouns are not always neutral but may be masculine or feminine. Every language has its own peculiarities.(by the way "language, tongue"is "her" in Greek)

  • Faith Knight - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Wow, thank you, Suze. This gives me some meat for thought. I have never been raised with a Baptist doctrine and was always taught that you can lose your salvation if you turn entirely away from God. Since I am now at a Baptist church, I get a little nervous whenever the subject comes up in either preaching or just talking with someone. I've always felt like a sheep that has joined another flock, but they haven't figured out yet that I'm not of their flock. I've heard the stories of how some Baptists will lift this doctrine up and look down upon everyone who says they don't believe in it. Thank you very much for making me think more about my convictions and less about the fears I have had during this time.

    Dear all of you, Jerusalem is a picture of the bride, the one who will get ready. For the Lord's return. Mount Zion is also nearby.

    When the Bible the holy scripture speaks of her,[1] it is meant that all men are united in this image. Because men embrace both him and her.

    But in the world there is a difference between us. But not with God there we are the same because we all are His bride.

    If we read for examples in The Song of High, we get a picture of how he and she will be one more with each other and God. So this the image can cover simple people, lonely, and those who only will stay with the Lord. This image picture is for all to se but not all cant understand. The eartly cant see this unfortunately.

    Dear my only love and hope, Jesus Christ, know Lord, i love your community, long to come to God's city of Jerusalem. My heart so longs for it so it is in pain, after you my God, Jesus Christ forever. There's no one above You're the only one. Thank u all God bless us in Jesus holy name, love u all in Christ

    Israel was established as a nation in 1948! No pun but your timeline is a bit off! At least 74 years off! There's a few missing links that has to connect that we're embarking upon before the "Second Coming" ie soon rise of the Antichrist taking his platform world center stage bringing his false peacehis mark the RFIDCHIP IN the hand and forehead Rev13:15-18 globally mandated but already here and many have already been deceived into taking it Rev.19:20global martyrdom of true followers of Jesus Yashua that missed the marriage supper of the Lamb! Not all Saints are invited Rev.19:6 the ready remnant raptured 1 Thes.4:13-18 Matt.24:40-42 will be there while the great tribulation is transpiring that the ready Remnant will be spared from! Rev.3:10 Luke 21:36 Not to mention the one world religion ran by the false prophet aka Pope F who already established his headquarters in Dubai to get the ball rolling and already has laws and consequences in place ready for those who violate their "Chrislam" Religion! You see many folk especially tragically the "Saints" don't realize we're a lot further along in Bible prophecy than many folk believe! Luke 12:56 Repent from sin Acts 3:19 after receiving Jesus in your heart and His Holy Spirit (imperative) asking His forgiveness for all your sins loving Him with everything within you and each other as we love ourselves forgiving everyone! He only gives the Holy Ghost to those who OBEY Him! Acts 5:32 Ecc.12:13 1 John 2:4 James 2:10 Let go of the cares of this life ie ungodly people places and things fast pray read His Word daily and spread His Gospel to those who will hear! Don't hold nothing back or there will be eternal consequences and will be held accountable when it's all said and done! Ez.3:18-21 We must be holy and strive for perfection DAILY! If it wasn't attainable or possible He wouldn't have written it! Our brother Job 1:1 proved that! Heb.12:14 1Pet.1:16 Matt.5:48 2 Cor.5:10 1John 3:6-11 Eph.5:27 Offic'ly warndYah bless!

    Hi Rosalia , every day ,for about the last three months , I've been helping my elderly and ill parents with house work shopping etc . I myself have health problems , so every day I ask God , through the name of Jesus Christ my Saviour and High Priest , to give me the strength and energy that I need to get through the day and do the things that I need to do . I think Paul was asking for the same things that I do , smiley face .

    Amen Brother Alex, Revelation 5

    Six seals (of the BOOK of life) were all opened, beginning with Christ ministry in the flesh and ending with his death and resurrection.

    Between the sixth seal ( Revelation 6:12-17 Christ's death and resurrection) and the seventh seal ( Revelation 8:1 pentecost) there was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour; 45 days.

    No activity (silence) of the Holy Ghost, for 45 days, from resurrection to pentecost.

    The seventh seal was open at pentecost with the out pouring of the Holy Ghost.

    Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be take away, and the abomination that maketh desolate BE SET UP, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

    42 months; three and a half years, Christ's ministry in the flesh.

    Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth (for the seventh seal), and cometh to the one thousand three hundred five and thirty days.

    1335 minus 1290 equals 45 days: passover till feast of the first fruits ..... Pentecost .....Christ second coming and minstry as the Holy Ghost.

    May God give us eyes to see and ears to hear.

    God Bless you.

    Hey Giannis,

    That's ok, I am not skilled in Greek or Hebrew.

    I still respectfully disagree; my understanding is our soul is who we are. Genesis 2:7 When God breathed into Adam, and he became a living soul/being. The spirit given to us gives us life and it is what goes back to God who gave it. When we are dead there is no more breath or communication until our resurrection when this mortal puts on immortality and death is swallowed up in victory by the grace of God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Thank you again for your reply I read your posts and I am grateful for the knowledge of Greek that you share.

    God bless.

    Does the Bible give a precious number in how many Angles we're cast out of heaven?
  • Alex N - 3 years ago
    Lemme give ya my take on the 2 covenants....Under the old covenant Jesus said many are called but few are chosen...But under the New Covenant its says i will know them all from the least to the greatest... Jeremiah 31 : 34 ..The book, the New COVENANT is not opened till Rev. 5...Thats when they all sang a new song which is the New Covenant...I will know them ALL from the least to the greatest...They sand the song of Moses and the Lamb...The law will be fulfilled by the Blood of the lamb...A birthing Covenant via that good seed sown in humanity...Thats y he has to know us....After he knows us it will initiate a birth of Christ in everybody....Thats y Jeremiah saw all men in travail and BIRTH PAINS..Thats when the woman, humanity will travail in Child birth.

    .....The Child which is the H.G. The spirit of truth will rule all nations...Jesus cd not elaborate on the New Covenant till after the Cross...The scripture says he wd not offend till all was fulfilled...Till heaven and earth pass not 1 jot or title will pass from the law till all is fulfilled...God told Daniel that the book ( the words of Wonder) ...living Words ... that New COVENANT wd be sealed till the last days...Thats when they sang that New Song saying thou has redemned us by thy blood unto God out of every kindred and nations and tongue...Thats everybody....If i be lifted up i will draw all men unto me...But it was not like this under the Old COVENANT...Under the old covenant many were called but few were chosen...But he paid the price for everybody....The scripture says we are ALL BOUGHT WITH A PRICE...His Blood...This New Covenant was written with his own blood.. Matthew 26 : 27....This is the new covenant in my blood, drink ye all of it for the sins of the world...Thus this NEW COVENANT is all inclusive.
