1 | Theme is Action/What of Fantasy stuff? | Matt 5:28 | brotherreverb | 64478 | ||
"Follow peace with all men... Heb 12:14." "...the God of Peace... Rom 16:20" "my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight... John 18:36(I'm not totally sure if this one fits here appropriately, but it might)" one of the bad problems of RPG is the concept that you get XP for Killing simply for the sake of slaughter. As if the searing of your heart as you take a life from the earth is a good thing. It is not that soldiers are not necessary in life (as God said police are appointed by Him and carry the sword for a reason Rom 13:4) but it is the unwise thinking that killing is fun and something to rejoice in or to be entertained by, that is sinful. Each human life sent to the land of the dead with out Jesus is fuel for the fires. and has no more opportunity for to be saved. This is a terrible thing. It is of course good to know how to defend your state or community if necessary, but a true hero does not relish death, or spilling blood. There is an element of sinful "Lust" in the act of blood hunger. as told by I John 2:10-11 James 4:1-3 Yes as Solomen said, There IS a time to Kill (Eccles 3:3). But as Jesus showed us (His Gospel miracles didnt involve killing to sway the people and save them), To HEAL is much more favorable and shows the LOVE of God. (Dont let the sun go down upon your anger Eph 4:26) (and remember what he said to the apostles when they wanted to call fire down from heaven to destroy whoever was bothering them Luke 9:54). Our human sinful nature craves to strike and retaliate but Jesus calls us to adopt the way of Peace as much as we can before we die. "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Deut 32:35 Rom 12:19 |

2 | wHO WAS DAVID TALKING TO IN PSALMS 133:1 | Gen 13:8 | brotherreverb | 64473 | ||
David was a philosopher prophet poet and King. He might have been reflecting about the beauty of peaceful saints and exclaimed it in his court which a scribe noted, or he might have proclaimed it over his court at say a ceremony service (or celebration of his people). He may have pondered it in secret and held on to the morsel of wisdom, or used it in a song. He, in any of these cases, was moved by the Holy Spirit who dwelt with him, who prophesied thru him many many times and uttered treasure from the soul of Yahweh. | ||||||
3 | acts 2:23-34 | Acts 2:23 | brotherreverb | 62685 | ||
David filled with the Holy Spirit was a prophet as well as a psalmist. Alot of His psalms were actually prophecies about the future although I do not know if he knew it was only about his life or someone elses too. When David spoke: "For you will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will you let your Holy one see corruption." He was actually referring to the life of Jesus who during his time after the crucifixion and before he ressurected. Hades is the "land of the dead" and corruption is the rot of his physical body. Jesus was brought out of death-state-spiritual land of dead (wheree he got given the keys of death and hell by God) to his body before the body began to decompose. The word refers to the places of the dead spirits as a hot hot fire or "the bosom of Abraham" which was a place for the saints to wait. David was in the bosom of Abraham. Luke 16:9-31 (23). The words David spoke were somehow the exact words Jesus spoke-thought when he found himself living thru the events. It may have been a suprise even for him, I dont know. Perhaps Jesus himself wonders and awes at the Power of Yahweh. | ||||||
4 | Aaron's father's name? | Ex 2:1 | brotherreverb | 62682 | ||
Ex 2:1 doesnt make a clear reference to him, and he was a Levite therefore not decended from Judah because Levi was a brother to Judah. Matthew 1:3-5 Luke 3:32,33. Moses and Aaron were brothers and were definately after Judah who begot Perez who begot Hezron, and before Jesse the father of King David. Moses and Aaron would probably be around the Hezron-Ram-Amminadab times. They are clearly not the direct line of Jesus. (However, possibly since it only mentions the direct line and not the siblings, or the women involved. During the wild years when some Hebrews married out of their tribe, perhaps one or more of the women married to the direct male line might have been in some way from back to the Levite line (indirectly). This cannot of course be proven until we have the big reunion at the party ahead. | ||||||
5 | Why Sheol / Hades mistranslated as Hell? | Acts 2:31 | brotherreverb | 62678 | ||
I heard sheol was a burning dump place outside of town where garbage was burnt in Israel. If one was really poor or condemned they sometimes would throw the body right into the dump without burial. Hades was the Greek land of the dead out of their mythology-beliefs (Orpheus). It was where all dead spirits went after life was over. Greek culture and Jewish culture was similiar, they traded and interracted, thus language also blended. The subtle change from "burning dump of death (sheol)" to "hell" (etherial fires described by Jesus where he had said disobediant hedonists suffered condemnation (rich man-lazarus)) is easy to see. Also "Land of dead soul-spirits after body dies(Hades)" is easy to be subtly referred to as "grave" meaning "Where u go when you no longer live in your body. Your relatives bury you". Language is metaphorical and often poetic-symbolic license is used to switch words. I hope this helps you see what you were asking. | ||||||
