1 | Is reverence feasible? Always? | Eph 5:33 | Emmaus | 65850 | ||
"When we seek to know the Lord, and listen for His heartbeat, our being will reflect Him more and more and obviously, that will be seen in a life that exemplifies the principles that God has set for us to live by." Mommapbs Having studied the Bible for many years I immediately recognized that not only is this not from the Bible ... there is nothing in the Bible that could be twisted or stretched in any way to even resemble what you wrote. Rabbi Mark "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. " Deut 4:29 " And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever." Luke 1:46-55 Next you (Mommapbs) wrote: "Living life by the Law, following Biblical principles will never bring about the abundant life we long for unless we long for the giver of Life as a Bride longs for her husband --the key word is intimacy." "Again this concept can be found no where in the Bible. I mean, you actually say, that following Biblical principles will never bring about the abundant life we long for ... unless..." Rabbi Mark intimacy "O that you would kiss me with the kisses of your mouth! For your love is better than wine, your anointing oils are fragrant, your name is oil poured out; therefore the maidens love you. Draw me after you, let us make haste. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more than wine; rightly do they love you." Song of Soloman 1:2-4 "And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;" Rev 21:2 "The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let him who hears say, "Come." And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life without price." Rev 22:17 "One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house, and took his place at table. And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner." And Jesus answering said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he answered, "What is it, Teacher?" "A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Now which of them will love him more?" Simon answered, "The one, I suppose, to whom he forgave more." And he said to him, "You have judged rightly." Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little." And he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, "Who is this, who even forgives sins?" And he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." Jesus, Luke 7:36-50 Emmaus |

Emmaus: You put a great deal of research into this. But none of these verses come close to saying what mommapbs suggested. Mary praising God for recognizing her low estate doesn't come close to mommapbs becoming one with god's heartbeat. And Song of Solomon 1:2-4 is a description of God's relationship with Israel and Israel's relationship with God. Not our individual relationship. So that doesn't qualify mommapbs assumptions either. Again, Revelation 22:17 talks not of personal relationships but of how God see's the New City of Jerusalem. As a bride who awaits her husband. Not as mommapbs attempting to become one with God's heartbeat. And the memorial where Mary washes Jesus feet in Luke 7:36-50 shows how much Mary loved and served Jesus. We all should do this and follow her example. But she wasn't trying to become one with his heartbeat. Sorry, but when I read mommapbs wanting to become one with God's heart beat and intimacy (not love, service and self sacrifice) ... I saw how mommapbs words ring more toward the concept of nervana or buddhism when those worshipers feel they are becoming one with God and actually become God. I appreciate your attempt, but of a truth mommapbs words cannot be reconciled with scripture through the best efforts ... as you have just proven. Now, take a closer look at mommapbs words and tell me what you think she is trying to say. Rabbi Mark |

Rabbi Mark, With my hands lifted up! With my mouth filled with praise! With a heart of thanksgiving! I will bless the Lord my God! Welcome to the forum! This is a great place to study the word of the Lord our God! I haven't been very active on the forum lately because I have been busy at my job. I do check in from time to time and I noticed your post. I read some of this thread and was a little disturbed by what was written to a very dear sister, Mommapbs, and to a very dear brother, Emmaus. Might I suggest that you do some research on these two members of the forum. It is simple. Just "click" on their names on this thread and you can read all of their postings. There is one particular thing that you wrote about in response to Mommapbs that I would like to respond to. You wrote "These two quotes are the perfect example of why a woman should learn in silence and not be suffered to teach. You have proven in your own words that women easily fall prey for spiritual counterfeits." How would this portion of scripture relate to that? or Does it? Gal 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. In Christ our Lord, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Dear Cyclist: As you well should know, no one scripture can neutralize another. But all scripture works together to show the perfect will of God. In the verses you quote above Paul is addressing the Galations in regards to the issue of pride among them. This is why he says that we are all equal in God's sight. However, Paul states in 1 Timothy 2:12, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. I have clicked on mommapbs name and read her biography. In it she welcomes anyone to set her straight if she needs it. But from the very moment she answered one of my post, not even addressed to her, she had antagonism toward me because I did just that. Anyway, I foster no ill will toward her. I write for her edification. Like I said, they are bitter pills to swallow but in the end I hope she examines her heart and her motives and comes away better for it. Why do I do this? Years ago, when I was still young in the Word a friend told me that I had to "Work out my own salvation with fear and trembling." I was aghast. Where does it say that in the Bible, I thought. How can you work out your own salvation? Jesus did that for us. And why should I fear, doesn't perfect love cast out fear? Well, as I continued to study, I found that what he said was written in the Bible, and can be found in Phillipians 2:12. By my error, I learned not to take the Word for granted. I learned to investigate all things very thoroughly before taking a position on it. I began to check into not just what others assume about the Bible but what I assumed myself. Not only did I learn to reprove others with the Word but I learned to reprove myself. Now, I barely speak unless I am absolutely certain of what the Word says, for fear of leading someone astray. And I hope to instill that in mommapbs, Emmaus, and everyone else on the forum. God Bless You for writing, Rabbi Mark |

Mark, You quote, "However, Paul states in 1 Timothy 2:12, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." But here is a instance where the woman not only wasn't silent, but spoke up and brought the whole town out to meet Jesus! :) John 4: 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? 28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. You also stated, "And I hope to instill that in mommapbs, Emmaus, and everyone else on the forum." Mark, this is not your purpose, that God wants to fullfill in your life. What are you going to instill in everyone on this forum that God has already done? Surely not teach the truth, I quote from the below verses; 1 John 2: 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, AND YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Mark, we are family, the family of God, let's speak to each other as such! God bless |
