Psalms 51: 1 Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity And cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me. 4 Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. 7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness, Let the bones which You have broken rejoice. 9 Hide Your face from my sins And blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a willing spirit. 13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners will be converted to You. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation; Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my lips, That my mouth may declare Your praise. 16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. 18 By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar. Dear Azure, Adding to the discussion of worship, I see from David’s prayer the relationship he had with the Lord. In looking for what the Lord desires of us I see from verse 6 the Lord desires truth. I believe from this we can say that we can hide nothing from God. If we are not truthful with God and ourselves, facing our sins, bringing them to the Lord to cleanse us there is no worship for us. Only when we deal with our sins does true worship begin. We can go through the motions giving an outward appearance of worship; example, praying, singing, preaching, but if the heart is not right with God, He is not pleased, see verse 16. When the heart is right, verse 17, then the outward worship; i.e., praying, singing, preaching is pleasing to Him, verse 19. In regards to the worship in heaven, we know that we will be in our glorified bodies. There is no sin in heaven. Worship is something we do everyday of our lives. Every hour, every minute we are either pleasing to God and honoring Him with the sacrifice of our lives or we are displeasing to Him and need to bring those sins to Him to cleanse us. True believers are led by the Holy Spirit who brings these things to mind as we walk in the Spirit. Those who have yet to surrender their lives to Christ, the Holy Spirit convicts them of sin. They have an opportunity to surrender their lives to Him. If they continue in their unbelief there is no worship for them. They may go through the externals but the internal, the heart, that part which God desires, if it is not pleasing to God, all externals will not be pleasing. These are my thoughts. Thank you for your warm blessing, Azure. May our Lord richly bless you today and in the coming year. – Sister Val |

The second coming should also be taken as literal: The Second Coming of Christ – This verse speaks to a literal appearing of Christ: Hebrews 9:27-28 “just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time,, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.” This verse speaks to a literal blessing of Israel: Deuteronomy 30:3 “Then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you”. This verse speaks to the ultimate spiritual revival of Israel: Deuteronomy 30:6 “Moreover the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.” This verse speaks to judgment on her enemies: Deuteronomy 30:7 "The LORD your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.” This verse speaks to her exaltation and prosperity – 30:9 "Then the LORD your God will prosper you abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the offspring of your body] and in the offspring of your cattle and in the produce of your ground, for the LORD will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers;” These verses speak to Israel’s failure to respond to God’s calling resulted in blessing on the Gentiles in the present age – Romans 11:11 “I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous. 12- Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be! 13-But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14- if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.15- For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 - If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.” These verses speak to the grafting in of the gentiles – Romans 11:17” But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich[8] root of the olive tree,18- do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. 19- You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."20- Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21- for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.” These verses speak to Israel being grafted in again – Romans 11:23-“And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24-For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?” These verses speak to the hardening of Israel until the full number of gentiles come in. Then after this all Israel will be saved. – Romans 11:25- “ For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;26- and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."27- "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.” This verse speaks to the natural branches, Israel, being grafted back in at the Second Coming – Romans 11-27. Paul added that when Christ comes Israel will be delivered – Romans 11:26-27. These verses also speak to the Second Coming: Jude 14-15, Rev. 3:3, 10-11, Rev 1:7, Rev 19:11-16, 2 Peter 3:3-7. Prophecy is just as certain as history. It will be fulfilled in God’s time and way – and perhaps relatively soon. Val |

Dear Keliy: Thank you for your answer. At Preceptaustin.org it gives the interrepative approaches to scripture. Knowing someone's interpretive approach helps to understand how they view passages. Usually how someone interprets Revelation 20 determines their interpretive approach. Happy New Year - Val | ||||||

Greetings Cheri, yes I was referring to commandments, teachings outside of the first first books of the bible. Didn't they write down their oral law/tradition eventually? Happy New Year, Val |

174 | Iam having some questions | John 17:1 | Val | 212506 | ||
Hello MJH, your comments are interesting. I am not sure I understand them since I have not read the Yevamot and Sanhedrin. What are these references and where can I find them? Are these the oral traditions, the 600 or so commandments added by the religious leaders? Thanking you in advance. It seems that when anyone, such as the religious leaders in that day, strays from the clear teaching of scripture and adds to it the commandments of men, it leads one astray. Don't we see this in the way that Jesus questioned Nicodemus? Happy New Year - Val | ||||||

Dear Cheri, thank you for your warm greeting. I hope you are doing good. Christmas was good. Remembering our Lord's birth is a blessing in deed. This is a special time of year all the way to Easter when we take a special time to celebrate our Lord's resurrection. I guess you will have to ask him. I don't know. May you have a wonderful New Year. - Val | ||||||

Oh contrare, Heb 11:16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them. When he says their faith was approved. It is saying they had a genuine faith and it passed the test. All faith is tested. Their faith is in God. We are all saved the same way through faith in God, believing what he says is true. Again, could you please fill out your profile. Are these things you are saying your own or are they someone else's? If they are someone else's could you provide the name of that speaker and their denomination? Thank you, Val |
