That's how most Christian were introduces to observer Sunday as a day of worship. Sunday is consider to be the day to worship

This day is honored based on the Hebrew calendar, now the major back in forth of the day Sunday comes from Roman Catholic origins. In the history of Christianity changes were made by them altering of celebrated or observed days to appease Pegan relations with the Catholic Church's.

Hi Yvonne Given I was reading Isaiah 41 full chapter when I came across this commentary Please read the book of (Deuteronomy Chapter 5 King James Version) because NIV has extracted some verses and even chapter of the Bible. Another book that will help with your question would be (Genesis Chapter 2 and Exodus Chapter 20). All these 3 books give the reason and commandment as to why we should observer the Sabbath. Now keep in mind that here and the US we follow Roman/Greek calendar.

Hebrews called male prostitutes 'dogs'.

(Part 2)

Some of them (Hebrew people) were considering going back into the old religious system of the Old Testament.

3) There were also Hebrew unbelievers. These were those who were at these meetings, those who were in the crowd that just did not believe.

So if I understand these three groups, I can better understand some of the scriptures that are being presented. There are sections of scriptures to each one of these three groups in the book of Hebrews.

Now, all that to say this:

Hebrews 6:4-6 does not worry me at all. My relationship with Jesus Christ can never be broken. My fellowship with Him can be broken but never my relationship. A true believer, a person who is born of God's Spirit, cannot commit apostasy.

What I see in those three verses is the writer talking to those in group 1 and explaining to them the outcome of those in group 2 if they should walk away.



Now those in the 3rd group were non-believers who were following along but were never going to believe. They were probably there to watch and accuse those in group 2 who decided to identify with those in group 1 which would in turn cause them to be persecuted.

So what I see in Hebrews 6:4-6 is a group of people (Hebrew people) who were faced with a decision. Do I leave Judaism and receive Christ as my Savior. Or, do I walk away and go back into Judaism because of what it would cost me to surrender my life to Christ. For a Jewish person, this was a very difficult decision.

What the writer is saying is that after they have come to a full understanding of salvation through Christ, if they do not take the next step in turning from Judaism and surrendering their life to Him, but instead walk away because of what it would cost them, it is impossible for them to find salvation any other way.

If we were to put ourselves in the same position that these Jews were faced with, which of these three groups would we identify ourselves with?

take NO thought of tomorrow!

This John 17 : 5 is telling us that Christ is gonna be Glorfied and he says his Glorfication is the very Glorification of God the Father . Glorify thou me with thine own self, Even with the Glory I had with you before the world was, Remember he died for the whole world. and the script. says the H.G. is the Glorfication of Christ simply b/c the H.G. was not yet given b/c that Christ was not yet Glorfied thus the multiplication of Christ is the multiplication of very God, Thats y he says to whom the word came ( his seed the living word ) it made them Gods . And that is y the scripture is saying the very Father swore by his very self when he made that PROMISE OF MULTIPLICATION OF Christ, when the sower of that Good Seed ( when the book is opened that is when the sower will go forth to sow his seed thus the H.G. will be given , thats y the woman is given Birth which is the H.G. A SPRITUAL CHILD, That which is born of the spirit is spirit as God is spirit thus he will Glorfy/Multiply the Father ,as the H.G. is the Glorfication of God the FATHER. His prayer was Glorify thou me with thine own self etc and the womans child is another Father a baby God ,to whom the Word came it made them Gods . Thats ye he was praying GLORIFY me that I might Glorify you . See his multiplication VIA HIS SEED is the multiplication of VERY GOD IN US. Unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a little Child this implies a heavenly birth of Christ in US. The Father said i have Gloried it and i will Glory it again, there has been an intermission of 2 k yrs. 2 DAYS. It was glorIfied a bit at Pentecost but they ran outta of that 1 st wine the H.G. wine and we will receive that 2 nd wine on the 3 rd day the day of the marriage .At the wedding they received the best Wine the 3 rd day., Ya remember the wedding CHIEF said You have kept the best Wine for last. As Paul said when that which is perfect is come that which is done in part will be done away with.

(Part 1)

Lex,

I'll have to respond in a couple of posts. I believe this is important as some use this section of scripture to show that our salvation can be lost.

When I approach any book of the bible, I first have to understand who the book was written to and why it was written. Hebrews was written to the Hebrews, Jewish people. The letter was written to Hebrew Christians. But at the same time, as I go through the book, I see three different classes of people. So I have to understand it from a Jewish standpoint.

The Purpose of the Letter was to warn against apostasy during persecution. It's when believers suffer that believers consider to stop following Christ, or consider compromising in their walk with the Lord when things get tough. Now when I say believer, I also think this can be broken down into two classes, those who are saved, and those who are unsaved.

Now in order for me to understand the various passages and the various sections of Hebrews, I have to understand these three groups to whom it was written.

1) To Hebrew believers. (Saved believers)

2) To Hebrews who have an intellectual understanding of Christ but have not been saved, and they are considering going back to the religious system of Judaism because of the persecution for identifying with Hebrew believers. So these are Hebrews who understand what's being taught, and they intellectually agree with it, but they have never received Christ.

Chapter 10 tells us that after they identified with the Hebrew believers and they went home, their possessions were stolen. Their fellow Jews were kicking them out of the temples. And it would cause some of them to lose their jobs. Their friends would disown them.

So you can imagine a Jewish person, right at that place where they understand and they agree with it, but they haven't received Christ. But they have this persecution going on and they say "If I go all the way with this thing, this is what's going to happen. Everybody is going to disown me.

praise the lord!

want to know what is dispensation of bible

Explain verse 23 thanks

I was raised in the Catholic church up until I was 27 years old. I then left the Catholic faith because I felt I didn't know God or the Lord Jesus in a way that I grew up hearing and listening about. It seemed the word of God was kept from us Catholics except for a couple of small scriptures and a twenty minute sermon I couldn't ever understand because the priests are from other areas of the world and have very broken English. I felt God was this like this supreme far away person spirit and I didn't really know him. I found a little steeple church by a distant relative and accepted Jesus as my savior and baptized in a river one day in a Christian camping adventure. When you teach about the Sabbath in these verses in Isaiah, it is a day to me that I've not taken the way God has commanded us to. I'm confused about the day of the week it falls on. And there's not one church that says it's on Saturday but uses Sunday as that holy day to God. It's like a big secret. The Catholic religion did not teach me the words of God, it showed me more that God exists and we did the same prayers and praises over and over again. Nothing was different. I hardly knew God' in a personal way nor his words in the bible what they truly say and mean. Now I have grown to know God and our Lord Jesus and how they both have guided me how to live and love others. What day is the Lord's day? I heard it Saturday. I just can't dedicate a day myself. I hope and pray to make it holy for God.

Where is Buddha mentioned in the King James Bible

Thank you Jesus for saving us!!!!!!!!

I am praying now for you.

We can Trust God, fully.

We has christians, who knows the word of god, should continue to trust in the lord in all things, no matter the circumstances in jesus named amen.

We in the church are hurt and disappointed when one of God children whom we have had Godly fellowship with is caught publicly in open sin. It is hard for us to forgive them but we must in order to keep Satan from getting the foot hold in the church.

Mary, I am praying for you Sister. God is faithful to deliver. The battle is not ours

but the LORD's. Be at peace..... I have gone through this too. One thing I have

done during the worst attacks is to say over and over, "JESUS SAVES ME NOW."

It is a powerful declaration. Devils flee in all directions, and God is glorified.

Many Blessings....

Hi Lex , i hope you dont mind me butting in , in my experience it has taken me only a few years of reading the Bible every day to understand and believe that i understand the basics of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God ,after that there is so much treasure in there that re affirms the Truth and helps you to feel closer to God and His Son ,read and pray and read some more ,its a big book and unlike most books theres no irrelevant filler ,everything is important ,you may not see things clearly immediately but a big part of the joy is discovering something new even though you have been reading it for over 25 years ,it still happens to me and im sooo happy when it does ,be patient and enjoy .Sorry for sticking my nose in but icant help myself sometimes ,thats what the Bible does ,it makes you want to talk about it and share your joy in it .

Greetings in Christ JESUS

You are wrong. What prevails is the Word of God.

Chapter 7 reveals the number of FAITHFUL Israelites who will be saved, in fact they are the prophetic remnant of the 12 tribes of Israel, they will be saved from imminent dangers. As it is written, all Jews who do not have the seal of GOD on their foreheads will be grievously tormented, and their torment will be like the torment of the scorpion when it hurts man.

Furthermore, GOD will punish severily the unfaithful Jews, God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: believe in him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved, so they all might be damned who believed not the truth - BELIEVED NOT IN JESUS -, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Yeah, except the sealed and faithful 144K, everyone else will believe in the esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist messiah, a false messiah, Who will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called GOD, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in the temple of GOD, shewing himself that he is God.

The prophetic message of JESUS will fulfil LITERALLY. As JESUS said: John 5:v.43-47:

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if ANOTHER shall come in his own name (AN IMPOSTOR, A FALSE MESSIAH, A DECEIVER MESSIAH), him ye will receive.

Matthew 23:v. 31-35

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city,that

Hello, I can't determine what prompted you to reply to me as it sounds like you're agreeing, but posted the same verse I already posted.

Jesse,

This sounds like someone who is a true believer "4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."

I have worried about this scripture alot and how can someone be a partaker of the Holy Ghost and the powers of the world to come without being a true believer? I mean enlightened and tasting the Word of God could be people who are exposed to the truth but if they are partakers of the Holy Ghost doesn't that mean the Holy Spirit is in them?

In terms of the Holy Spirit, if you still want to repent does that mean the Holy Spirit is working in you because I know that people can be deceived? I mean with thoughts of unbelief and the warning "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin."- Hebrews 3:12-13 I keep feeling bad.

So if you realize that your thoughts are wrong and you genuinely want to reconcile with God, you can repent right? But sometimes some of the scriptures have me worried that it could be too late? Like the point of no return.. God is not the author of confusion and He does not give a spirit of fear so how do you get to a place where you are clear on what the Scripture says?

Where do I find this Wisdom of Solomon 2:23-24 in the 1611 kIng James companion Bible? All I see is Songs of Solomon. Thank you.

Where in 1 Corinthians chapter 17 does it say marriage isn't for everybody?

Isaiah 7:v.14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a VIRGIN shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

The Word above was revealed to the prophet of the Lord, Isaiah, fulfilled LITERALLY later and it around past seven centuries.

I'm putting this message up in order to make it stand out and enlighthmphasize to all readers here that the Word is God, yes, the Word is God.

Is it written in the Bible? Then it will LITERALLY be fulfilled as in the message of the prophet Isaiah above as follows, because the Word is GOD:

Luke 1:v.26 to 38

26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

37 For with GOD nothing shall be impossible.

I don't find where Ahaz asks for help or a sign as you mentioned.

But what is important, GOD TOLD HIM TO ASK AND HE REFUSED TO:

Isaiah 7:12-13. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.

Notice "NOW" the Lord is talking to the WHOLE HOUSE OF DAVID, ( Present and future ).

And he said, ""HEAR YE NOW, O HOUSE OF DAVID;""

Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?

TheDavidic lineor House of David (known in Hebrew as " Malkhut Bayt David - ("Kingdom of the House of David") refers to the lineage of King David through the texts in the Hebrew Bible, in the New Testament, ( AND THROUGH THE SUCCEEDING CENTURIES.) This Prophecy was/is given to the Davided Kingdom throughout all ages.

Let's look at the Matthew account.

The account considers a Virgin without having to mention the word virgin!

Matthew 1:18-23. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,

( BEFORE THEY CAME TOGETHER, SHE WAS FOUND WITH CHILD OF THE HOLY GHOST.)

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for ( THAT WHICH IS CONCEIVED IN HER IS OF THE HOLY GHOST.)

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

( Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. )

Jesus can't be who he is without the virgin birth!!
