941 | Did Stephen see the Father? | Acts 7:55 | skccab | 195336 | ||
Afternoon Lionheart, I can tell you He's no longer in a box that I've created! I've given up trying to understand with my little mind. And like Doc said, it's awe-inspiring, it's frightening - but it's also liberating. It frees me up from "trying to be" to letting Him do. Do you know what I mean? Cheri |

942 | Followers of "The Way" - meaning? | Acts 9:2 | skccab | 193441 | ||
Morning MJH, I've heard that the sages believe that the way back to the Garden, to the Tree of Life is through a death. Yeshua became that Way, to take us past the "cherubim" amd the two-edged sword guarding the way to the Tree. What was it that you heard? Shalom Cheri |

MJH Glad to oblige, I was just listening last night to it. But not on this forum. Email me, look at my profile. Shalom Cheri |

944 | Johns baptism? | Acts 13:24 | skccab | 193719 | ||
Hello Lionheart, I've heard that John's baptism was indeed unto repentance, but not unto salvation. He was performing what was/is known as a mikvah. It was performed back then and today by Jews as a cleansing and a renewal during a life-change - such as the bar/bat mitzvah (coming of age), getting married, changing careers, moving to a new city, etc. It represents the cleansing of the old and coming up out of the water fresh, ready to face the new. When I learned about this, it answered the question as to why Yeshua went into the water before John, cos He certainly didn't need repentance - but He was beginning His public ministry at that time. Shalom Cheri |

945 | What is "patient in Tribulation"? | Acts 14:22 | skccab | 187996 | ||
MRoyal, What makes you think that if the Church should be taken away before the tribulation, that there would be no believers after the rapture? Is it so inconceiveable that absolutely no one after that time would come to the Lord - and it's these that must be patient? Just a thought. blessings cheri |

946 | What is "patient in Tribulation"? | Acts 14:22 | skccab | 188006 | ||
I never said that those who come to the Lord after the pre-trib catching away of the church will be protected. Indeed, they will not be protected as the 144,000; but there will be believers, those who are slain for not taking the mark of the beast and those who manage to survive till the end. No need to respond. It is clear that we both are set in our views and debating will serve no purpose. I do thank you for your observations though, and they have been read here on the forum and I've checked them out in the Word. The one main thing we pre,mid, and post folk can agree on is that we all shall be with the Lord (hopefully real soon). Looking forward to meeting you there, brother. Live in His blessings till He calls us all home cheri |

947 | Abstaining from things strangled, blood? | Acts 15:20 | skccab | 192131 | ||
WOS and Doc, To me that's a very sad thing - the gentiles should have learned to live along side the Jewish believers. After all it was(is) their Messiah that brought salvation to us. It was through the Jewish people that we can have the Torah (and it is alive and well). I do not believe that we can pick and choose which of the Lord's commandments from the Tanakh to observe than we can pick and choose of those in the NT. :-) Lev 18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. Lev 18:4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God. What does America look like? Deu 28:9 The LORD shall establish thee a holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. We have been grafted into this promise. Jos 22:5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. And grafted into this. The Lord's yoke is not difficult or burdensome, it's easy and a delight. Psa 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psa 119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. Pro 6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Pro 6:21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. Pro 6:22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. Pro 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: Cheri |

948 | Abstaining from things strangled, blood? | Acts 15:20 | skccab | 192132 | ||
WOS, It took me so long to get my post written you already had posted again. I'm very slow, I only know "by heart" a few verses, so it takes me awhile to find what I know is there. I think you have it right about the actual distinction between clean and unclean foods - but the strangled and the blood fall into a different category. From what I understand the edict against things strangled is that the life breath was cut off, it wasn't a clean slaughter; and the blood as we all know represents the life and we should not ingest the life's blood of a living thing. I'm very new to all this so if I am wrong, I really would appreciate correction and will give you my apology now, WOS. Cheri |

Hi Doc, I thank you for your encouragement. I'm just trying to find the "happy medium," if you will, between what the church has become (of which I really don't want to be a part) and what it started out to be before the break between the Jewish believers and the non-Jewish believers. And I really do believe that there is such a place. I don't believe that we as believers are under any "bondage" to the Torah, but I do believe that it is not to be tossed away as unneedful. I've been studying Torah with the same fervor that I have previously studied the Gospels and Letters, and it is opening up my understanding of the Gospels and Letters (and the Acts, as well) like never before. I'm seeing and understanding things that never made sense before. And you are absolutely right, following Torah will do nothing, on its own, outside of the work of Yeshua. I too like the term "kind advisor", that's nice; but I also see Torah as a Lamp that just keeps burning brighter and brighter the more I delve into it. As you stated - thru the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to live in compliance with the moral law of God - but we have to know what that moral law is. Yes? And I believe that it's found in its fulness in the Torah. Once again, thanks for your encouragement. Still searching, Cheri |

Hi Doc, Maybe I shouldn't have grouped so big, the "church," that is. I was talking about the ones I had visited in my search for a home church. There was just so much gossiping and backstabbing being done right there in the sanctuary (and in front of a newbie to boot!!!) and that's when I decided there had to be something better. That's what I didn't want to be a part of. If I want to hear bad reports about folks I'll stay at work, not go to a church. Thanks for the rest of your note. I have read it and I will give it another read as well. I have Galatians bookmarked for a complete read-through over my weekend midnight shifts coming up :-) Also, I have no idea what nomanianism or antinomanianism is? So, if I'm one of those I don't know it. I don't believe that I am legalistic at all. Cheri |

Azure, You didn't embarrass me. My own stupidity did. I should have been clearer that I KNEW Doc wasn't really yelling. He might be firm, but I see him as St John speaks of - a father - and sometimes we "little children" and "young sons" need someone with some righteous firmness to step in and shake us up a bit. He's a dear, and so are you. Cheri |

Good morning Azure, John wasn't talking about years, but in maturity (and I love these verses): 1Jn 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 1Jn 2:13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 1Jn 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. Don't you just love those verses too? I know you knew what I was talking about but I printed them cos they are so rich. Not at all a bad thing being a "father." I would that I were there at my late age :-). But even the writer of those words had to take his baby steps, no? Cheri |

Hi Doc, Thank you for explaining those words. I'm still working within the framework of the 1st-2nd grade reader :-), and don't know alot of the theological terms. Cheri |

960 | chronology of books of the bible | Acts 17:11 | skccab | 211217 | ||
Shalom Albright, There are several "chronological bibles" available, either in your local Bible bookstore or you can go to christian discount bookstore and order on line. What I like to do, is go in person and see the Bible I want then I order from CDB, usually at quite a noticeable discount even including shipping and handling. :o) Cheri |
