I too am a Messianic Jew and agree there is only one way. That is Jesus. There is a movement of God in Israel among the youth that is very encouraging. | ||||||

No Jesus is the only way. They were chosen to be the lineage that the Messiah would come from. They were to be God's representatives on earth. But it is impossible to be God's representative through your own power. We needed Jesus. | ||||||

Humor is acceptable. If offense is taken then I'd better look inside and find out why. Did you know that Rebekah of Genesis smoked cigarettes? Gen. 24:64 (KJV) 64And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. I beleive Jesus had a hearty laugh. He was not the picture of seriousness seen in so many of the Jesus movies. Thank you for your kind words. God uses the foolish to accomplish His ends. There was no bigger fool than me.

I'm not serious. the verse says 7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and that is where golf is played on a course. isn't it. We must be careful how we look at the words in scripture. Always using the meanings of the time not present day meanings. | ||||||

If you believe you already have Him dwelling in you. He is the One who dwells in your heart when you ask Jesus to come in. You have become the sanctuary, temple of the Holy spirit. the Bible says: Holy Bible, New Living Translation 1 Cor. 6:19 through 1 Cor. 6:20 (NLT) 19Or don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. So young one YOU GOT HIM. He dwells in YOU. PRAISE GOD. |

Greetings sedec. Welcome to the forum. It is my hope that your experience here will be fruitful as you seek a deeper relationship with Christ. John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. [KJV] John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [KJV] John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [KJV] These are the verses I think you are looking for. Asis |

Well said prazn The ultimate authority of the meaning of scripture is the Holy Spirit, not Alfred Barnes or John MacArthur or a greek-english lexicon. We have been provided with all the tools to live a godly life. God did not set us free to find our own way but has provide HIS MIND in us. We have access to the secrets and knowledge of Almighty God. All we have to do is ask. Then our task is to Obey. 1 Cor. 1:5 through 1 Cor. 1:6 (KJV) 5That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 1 Cor. 2:9 through 1 Cor. 2:14 (KJV) 9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Cor. 2:15 through 1 Cor. 2:16 (KJV) 15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. And on and on bless His name |

Here is a little information I found in Dake's Annotated Bible. Be a Berean. Just because someone wrote it in a Bible doesn't make it true. Let the Holy Spirit be you teacher. This will probably take two posts. Asis Psalm 104:4 a [angels spirits] The Spirit World The word "spirit" is found 551 times in Scripture. From these references, the 297 times "angel" is found, and from over 20,000 others about God who is a spirit being, we learn all there is to know about the spirit world—all the various kinds of spirit beings that inhabit the unseen material worlds in space and under the earth (Phil. 2:10; Rev. 5:3,13). Ten Kinds of Spirit Beings Besides God: 1. Seraphim (Isaiah 6:1-7) 2. Cherubim (Genesis 3:24; Ezekiel 1:5-28; Ezekiel 8:1-4; Ezekiel 10:1-22) 3. Zoa, or Living Creatures (Rev. 4:6-5:14; Rev. 6:1-8; Rev. 7:11; Rev. 14:3,9-11; Rev. 15:7; Rev. 19:4) 4. Spirit animals shaped like the fleshly ones we have on earth (2 Kings 2:11-12; 2 Kings 6:13-17; Zech. 1:8-11; Zech. 6:1-8; Romans 1:20; 2 Cor. 12:1-4; Rev. 19:11-21) 5. Archangels, or chief angels who rule kingdoms and planets (Col. 1:15-18; 1 Thes. 4:16; Jude 1:9) (1) Michael, one of the chief princes, the prince of Israel (Daniel 10:13,21; Daniel 11:1; Daniel 12:1; 1 Thes. 4:16; Jude 1:9; Rev. 12:7-9) (2) Gabriel, who stands before God (Daniel 8:16-19; Daniel 9:20-23; Daniel 10:8-11:1; Luke 1:19,26) (3) Lucifer, the original ruler of the planet earth and present pseudo-ruler of man's dominion on earth (Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 10:18; Ephes. 2:2; Rev. 12:7-9). See The Doctrine of Satan. (4) Unnamed princes of Persia and Grecia (Daniel 10:13-11:1; Rev. 11:7; Rev. 17:8) 6. Common angels (see notes below) 7. Demons (see note, §Psalm 106:37) 8. Demon locusts (Rev. 9:1-11) 9. Demon horsemen (Rev. 9:12-21) 10. The inner man, or soul and spirit of human beings (see Spirit). Definition and Usage of "Angel": The word literally means messenger and is used of Christ, angels, and people. 1. Christ, the second Person of the Trinity appeared to men as the messenger of God (1 Cor. 10:4,9; 1 Cor. 11:3). He is called: (1) The angel of God (Genesis 21:17; Genesis 31:11; Exodus 3:2; Judges 6:20; Judges 13:9; Acts 27:23) (2) The angel of the Lord (Genesis 16:7-11; Genesis 22:11,15; Exodus 14:19; Numbers 22:22-35; Judges 2:1,4; Judges 6:11-12,21-22; Judges 13:3-6,13-21; 2 Kings 1:3,15; 2 Kings 19:35; 1 Chron. 21:12-30; Psalm 34:7; Psalm 35:5-6; Isaiah 37:36; Zech. 1:9-19; Zech. 3:1-6; Zech. 12:8; Acts 7:30-38). In all other places where "the angel of the Lord" is found, the term refers to ordinary angels, as in Matthew 1:20,24; Matthew 2:13,19; Matthew 28:2-5; Luke 1:11-38; Luke 2:9-21; Acts 5:19; Acts 8:26; Acts 10:3; Acts 12:7-23. (3) His angel (Genesis 24:7,40; Exodus 23:20; Exodus 33:2; Numbers 20:16; 2 Chron. 32:21; Daniel 3:28; Daniel 6:22) (4) The angel (Genesis 48:16; Eccles. 5:6; Hosea 12:4) (5) Mine angel (Exodus 23:23; Exodus 32:34) (6) Angel of His presence (Isaiah 63:9) (7) Angel (Rev. 8:3-5; Rev. 10:1-11:3) 2. The word angel is used of common angels in Psalm 104:4. 3. It is used of men in Rev. 1:1,20; Rev. 2:1,8,12,18; Rev. 3:1,7,14; Rev. 19:9,10; Rev. 22:6-8,16. In other places it is nearly always clear that common angels who are spirit beings and heavenly creatures are referred to. End of part 1 |

Part 2 Common Angels: 1.The nature of angels. They are heavenly spirit beings with: (1)Personal spirit bodies with bodily parts, as hands, feet, eyes, heads, voices, mouths, hair, faces, and other parts which men have (Genesis 18:2,4,8; Genesis 19:1-22; Judges 13:6).

Christ is better than angels (Hebrews 1:5-2:16). 3.The work of angels. They carry on work daily and meet responsibilities that only beings with personal bodies, souls, and spirits are capable of: (1)They drive spirit horses (2 Kings 2:12; 2 Kings 6:13-17; Zech. 1:7-11; Zech. 6:1- 6).

Part 3 and the last part. 5.Satan's angels. They are made subject to Christ (1 Peter 3:22); are sinful and rebellious (Job 4:18; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6-7; Rev. 12:7-9); evil (Psalm 78:49); to be punished (Isaiah 24:21-23; Isaiah 25:7; Matthew 24:41; Jude 1:6-7); to be cast out of heaven (Rev. 12:7-9); will fight against Christ at Armageddon (Isaiah 24:21-23; Isaiah 25:7; Rev. 12:7-9; Rev. 19:11-21); are organized into principalities and powers (Ephes. 1:21; Ephes. 3:10; Ephes. 6:10-17; Col. 2:10,15; Rev. 12:7-12). They deceive men (2 Cor. 11:14); oppose saints (Romans 8:38; Ephes. 6:10-18); fell originally with Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Matthew 24:41; Rev. 12:7-12); hell is prepared for them (Matthew 24:41). 6.There are two classes of fallen angels: those bound (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6-7; Rev. 9:11,14; Rev. 11:7; Rev. 17:8) and those who are still loose with Satan and who will be cast down to the earth in the middle of Daniel's seventieth week in the future tribulation (Rev. 12:7-12; Ephes. 6:10-17). See the reason some of Satan's angels are now bound (Genesis 6:1-4; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6-7). 7.Appearances of angels to men (see Appearances of Angels to Men.) b[ministers] Hebrew: sharath (HSN-8334), servants. Human ministers of God is the reference, not angels. The word is translated servant 5 times and minister (62 times as verb, and 17 times as a noun). Almost without exception it is used of the priests and Levites of the tabernacle and temple worship, and of the servants of Israel's kings (Psalm 104: Psalm Psalm 4; Psalm 103:21; Ezra 8:17; Isaiah 61:6; Jeremiah 33:21; Ezekiel 44:11; Ezekiel 45:4-5; Ezekiel 46:24; Joel 1:9,13; Joel 2:17). Ministers of the gospel are successors of the O.T. ministers (Luke 1:2; 1 Cor. 3:5; 1 Cor. 4:1; 2 Cor. 3:6; 2 Cor. 6:4; Hebrews 1:7). c[flaming fire] Ministers a Flame of Fire The word for "flaming" here is Hebrew: lahat (HSN-3857), to blaze or set on fire. The word is used of the flaming sword of the cherubim who guarded the way of the tree of life (Genesis 3:24); of the wicked being burned up at Armageddon (Malachi 4:1); of fire burning the wicked rebels in Israel (Psalm 106:18); of a flame burning up trees (Psalm 83:14; Joel 1:19); of hell fire punishing the wicked (Deut. 32:22); of bitter anger speaking forth (Psalm 57:4); of bitter anger in battle (Isaiah 42:25); and of the fury of Satan (Job 41:21). It can be seen from these uses that God's ministers being a flame of fire means that they are to be so full of zeal and the anointing of the Spirit that nothing can stand before them (John 2:17). Those in ministry are to have absolute authority and power over all the works of the devil (Matthew 18:18; Mark 16:17-18; Luke 10:19; Luke 24:49; John 14:12-15; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Cor. 4:20; 1 Cor. 12:4-8) and represent God among men, as exemplified by Christ, the apostles and early believers. This is the end. Lots of Scripture to check out I hope this helps. |

Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: It is interesting that most of us conclude that what satan wants to do is a bad thing. I find myself continually being sifted by the trials and tribulations that come my way almost daily. Sifting in Jesus time was the term used for separating the grain from the chaff and stubble. What remained after sifting was the pure grain. satan had requested to sift Peter just as he had requested to sift Job. Job had to go it alone BUT Peter had Jesus. Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Here is an example of being covered by the prayer of Jesus. Did Peter pass the test? Was he found of faith after he was sifted? How about you? And when Peter was converted did he not strengthen the brethren? How about you? Are you found faithful after the siftings? |

194 | Classes of angels | John 19:42 | Asis | 85853 | ||
Looking back at the record of Peter's life bears up the proposition that Peter came through the sifting with a strengthening of His faith. During the trial he was going through, the denial of a friend that he loved so he may save his own life, fearing persecution by the religous. I'm sure satan was having a field day with fear. I mean what would have happened to him if he had not denied that he was with Jesus? Jesus was confirming who he was by telling Peter that even though he said he was willing to die for Jesus when push came to shove he would deny he even knew him not once but three times before the cock crowed. Peter had a revelation from God concerning who Jesus was but in the next sentence received a rebuke from Jesus for speaking what satan had spoken through him. What we see is that we are not Jesus. Even though we may profess to beleive God it is not until the time of trial that we must put up or shut up. How have you fared in your trials? I have had to repeat a few and will probably repeat more in the future. Peter was sifted but Peter became deeper in faith, stronger in faith, because of the trials of the days after Jesus crucifixion. I don't think we can look at the trial Peter was going through as being over until his discussion with Jesus on the shore of the lake. Do you love me? That is the qwuestion that Jesus asks us. In my heart is where the answer lies. Even with the repeated denials of being with Jesus and knowing Jesus do you think he stopped loving Jesus? Could it be that, that is how we deny Him? By losing our love for Him. Is that what is meant in Heb. 6:4 through Heb. 6:8 (NASB) 4For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. 7For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned. How can we partake of Jesus and His divine nature and still lose our love for Him. What a heart of stone that would be. Just meditating out loud. |

195 | What happened to the Disciples? | Acts 1:23 | Asis | 86824 | ||
They decided to have a meeting and vote on filling the place of Judas Iscariot. Then after being filled with the Holy Ghost and being made apostles they met with the people and had church. Now they didn't have bulletins or a praise team, but they gathered with the new believers in the temple at Solomon's porch. There they told the believers about their experiences with Jesus (Acts 2:42-47). It is by our witness that we lead people to the Lordship of Jesus the Messiah. Acts 3:11 You don't have to have your name in a book to show people Jesus. Just pray and be filled with the Holy Spirit. |

I can see everything is taken very seriously and lterally here in the Forum. Your correction about casting lots is noted. I look at the history as men thinking they need to help God when all the time God had a number twelve chosen all the time. Enough of that. It is the those who do the Lord's work in the backround never desiring to be in the forefront that are the real heros of the faith. The cleaner of the toilets, of the glass doors never seem to get the acknowledgement that the stars on the platform get. But don't you think that they do ot want to get their acknowledgement from men. They are about the Lord's work. They are doing to here from the Master "Well done good and faithful servant." Were would the church be if the only one we wanted to satisfy was the Lord. Pride is the hardest thing to overcome so we can die to self and be His alone. |

Luke 6:46 Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not [practice] what I tell you? Jesus answers the question right here. We are to do what He tells us to do. Obedient even unto death, even a death on a tree. If He says turn left, turn left. He says believe then believe. God uses scripture to instruct us on His will for our lives. He tells us who we are in Christ. His mother said it most succinctly in John 2:5 Whatever He says do it. | ||||||

In Acts 16:13 Paul and Silas went to the river which is where the Jews gather when there is no Synagogue. For Paul to be able to teach ion the Synsgosues He would present himself as a Pharasee which he was. Only he was a Messianic Pharasee. This is how he and Silas would have been recognized as Jews. Remember, the gospel was to the Jews first then to the gentiles (Acts 13:42-46). | ||||||
