We are incredibly complex human beings with very advanced features we don't yet even fully comprehend ourselves. Explosions from nothing don't create life. Explosions to life can't be replicated, and no one has ever witnessed it, so evolution theory is unscientific.
All life is advanced and is designed to adapt. Naturally some use that as confirmation bias to draw conclusions for what they want to believe (to deny God), but there are no transition species between animal kinds. People have lied about this in the past in order to justify what they want to be true. DNA is a complex language we haven't even figured out and has the blueprint of each being in every cell. It heals itself and does amazing things. To believe all this happened from an accidental explosion violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics. So, the theory of evolution violates science. Also, most people ignore the fact that evolution would have simultaneously required plants and animals to evolve at the same time coincidentally making food for us and symbiotic dependency, and "evolving" in male and female pairs. Scientific impossibility, but fun speculation for many based on bias and wishful thinking. We, and everything around us reflects an intelligent creator, God.
According to this chapter, "Upright" = "Righteous", so my question was, where in the Bible can I read what righteousness is? Is there a scripture or scripture passage that tells me or defines what it is? I can tell in this short chapter that wickedness is the opposite of righteousness, this helps in over all context understanding.
Talking about Jesus is all fine and dandy, but Jesus was not around when David wrote this chapter so righteousness was around before the birth of Christ. Would like to know cause verse 11 says the LORD loves righteousness so I would think it would be best to know what that is?
[21]I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Death of Christ was not in vain.
Old testament law and it's requirements are not applicable more in newtestament the righteousness.
I am glad that the life to come will be a full, wide awake life with our Lord Jesus. We will come to know Him in far more amazing ways than we do in this life. We will know the Father in Jesus, as He is the exact image of the Father. The Father forever abides in Jesus, along with the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Jesus isn't the Father, nor the Spirit. But in Jesus, who is fully God and fully man, the whole Godhead dwells together. They are and have always been unified, yet three distinct Persons.
Can't what to experience the LORD GOD in the life to come!
I was just studying this a few days ago. Only God possess true, unadulterated righteousness. He is absolutely pure and free of sin. He is completely separated from any evil. He is always true to Who he is essentially and constitutionally.
No human other than Jesus is righteous of their own merit. Jesus alone lived a perfect human life as the God/Man. He obeyed the Father always. He never sinned. He never had a wayward thought, or unloving impulse or motive. He never said a sinful word or gave a sinful "look" or mannerism. Because of this perfect life lived by the 'Son of God and Son of Man, He was the perfect One to sacrifice His own life as a propitiation for the sins of the whole earth. His death and resurrection accomplished for us a righteousness we can possess through Jesus in which we are seen as morally perfect as Jesus is before the Father and can approach Him. This righteousness is Jesus' righteousness imputed to every believer. It is 100% His righteousness that we obtain with 0% moral goodness from any believer.
Every "good' that any believer does is tainted with our sinful nature. They are unacceptable to God, because He requires perfect good to come before Him and not be consumed by His wrath towards sin. This is why believing that all that is acceptable to God is all of what Jesus did. This does not mean that we should not wish to be obedient to God and love one another in our lives as believers. The Holy Spirit is our sanctifier. We humbly rely on the Holy Spirit to help us do the works God has ordained for us to do in His power, grace, and goodness. The Holy Spirit will continue to sanctify us in this life so that we become more and more like Jesus in His humanity. But we can never be as pure as God. he is infinitely pure.
In the life that follows our physical death, we will shed our sinful nature from our souls and spirit. When we are bodily resurrected we will no longer have any sinful nature in our new fleshly bodies.
In Exodus 30:22-33 you will find the mixture of myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, cassia, and olive oil, it was to be considered sacred. The act of anointing with sacred oil emphasized that it was God who had ordained them with the authority to act as his representative. It was also symbolic of the one to come the Anointed One, the Messiah Jesus, who was anointed not with oil but the Holy Spirit/Ghost without measure, Luke 4:1 John 3:34.
You can buy it online, not cheap about 20-25 dollars an ounce or you can buy the ingredients and make it yourself the quantities are in Exodus 30, you just cut down the recipe, I don't think one would need that much, ha ha.
God bless,

1. Figuratively God married Israel, also Jesus will marry the church. It means that we are going to live together with God, like a man with his wife. arriage in those cases is a symbolism, it is not litteral.
2. Fiction.I made a mistake and stole my neighbors car while I was a believer. Then I repented for my behavior. Can I keep the car? I think this is a good example that could give an answer about believers (who knew God's Will) who remarry and then repent.They must correct the mistake they made, they knew, they didn't have ignorance, no excuse. There is a difference though with people that were not believers when they were remarried and afterwards believed. They stay as they are, married. Because they thought the new marriage was OK,(while the believers knew what they did was illegal). The aim of God is not to split a family that was made while in ignorance but keep families together.
3. Isn't it not enough that the requirement for faithful children is written in Titus and not in Timothy? When Paul writes something to Thessalonians and he doesn't write the same thing to Philippians, that means that it is not valid for Philippians too? How could one has his children in obedience and rule well his house if his children are worldly? If his children, say want to go out to a club and get drunk and bring their girlfriends home, is that a good ruling or managing? What is that pastor supposed to do in such a case? Young men in the world do not have the same morality as the ones in the faith. They can do all sort of strange things that the world consider as normal. Would you accept him as a pastor in your church? God's servants must have nothing to be blamed of, himselves and their families. They must be an example to the congregation.
GBU.
I apologize, I should have dissected Matthew 5:32 more closely.
You see their are exceptions to divorcing without causing one to sin on one another, and it is fornication.
The verse should be interpreted as Jesus saying (except) for fornication, if one takes the word (saving) back to it's original language it means (except) for fornicating
Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving/except for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
So you see there is an exception to divorce, God put away Israel for fornicating/adultery, and He forgave her so she can be.
Bible Hub interlinear study.
Gen 26:4 is regarding the seed and lineage from Abraham. It's talking about people, not gods. He's giving countries to people, not gods, for example.
If the comment is referring to 'gods' as in Psalms 82:6, Acts 7:40, notice it uses lower case 'g'. The word God is not used in the same manner as the one true God uppercase, but plural lowercase, which indicates a metaphor for His followers having characteristics of His authority. Psalm 82:1 demonstrates the difference.
If believers can be metaphorically considered 'gods,' how much more is the One whom God has chosen and sent ( John 10:34-36)?
Before believers start running around assuming they're deities from these few select verses (exactly what satan wants), the scripture must also be balanced with the entire context of other scripture in God's Word, such as:
Rom 13:1-4 - calls followers the "minister of God", that all power comes from God, but all are subject to God's "higher powers".
John 17:3
James 4:7
1 Peter 5:6
Romans 13:1
Romans 12:1-2
etc.
God bless
Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Matthew 5:31 It was said, 'Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That every one that shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
If one truly repents, I believe ALL sins are forgiven, but I guess churches don't see it that way, they have their rules, can't change that. sry!
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and turn ye again to Me, that your sins may be (blotted out), in order that ... times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
Then Peter said unto them, "Repent [change your mind for the better and morally], and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and ye shall receive the free gift of THE Holy Spirit.
1 Timothy 3:12 Must be another rule of The Church, because Titus doesn't state Children must be in the Faith.
The verse states "well managed children", and not "Children of Faith". Where do you get Children must be in the Faith out of ruling their children, and their own houses? In verse 12
Managing their children is the same as ruling, It means (Well Respected) honorable,commendably,kind enough,honestly,usually morally.
would give up all and give to the poor and go out penniless in twos as Jesus taught.
Two women together --- two men together. Go out and preach this gospel to all the world.
All will have an opportunity to hear the original Gospel taught by Jesus. Pray to be awake
spiritually when your own opportunity presents itself.
The Just, lawful, righteous man, who are in the right
Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth/tests a righteous one: is referring to a righteous man, his soul. And tests the lawless one and him that loveth violence He hateth.
Why does God test the Just/righteous!
