181 | Judgement does not heal abuse. | Jer 5:31 | Scribe | 86546 | ||
Part 1 of 2 Dear Hatshepsut, Please forgive me if I wrote in such a way that made me come across as judging others, I am not passing judgment on you, your husband or your pastor. I think with a nick name like Scribe I may need to take extra precautions when I speak of these kind of things. However my church and the churches I have fellowshipped with do not believe that the bible teaches that a man can be a flagrant wife beater and go to heaven or be called saved. We do not believe that this is the correct understanding of the doctrine of salvation. I am sorry that there are churches that would say that the wife beater is still going to heaven. I hope to see the day when all churches will wake up to the fact that this scripture is really true. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Can a person fall into sin.. and repent and still be saved.. Of Course.. but that is not what we call a continuous habit of beating women, that is beyond falling into a lust of the flesh. I may sound judgmental to you, but that is the problem with the church, too much confusion about some weird idea that men do not have to really change to be saved. What is repentance and faith but a life change. If there is not radical life change it is ok to say someone needs to be saved. They certainly need to be saved from violent behavior. That someone is a preacher means nothing if they are not walking in holiness. Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. I have heard preachers retell that verse above and make it sound like these were rejected because they did not really "believe the right doctrine" but that is not why they were rejected.. they were rejected because the worked iniquity and we can assume by looking at all the other verses on the subject that it was because they believed a lie that comforted them with the idea that they would not be judged for willful sin in their lives. There is no doubt that your husband CAN be saved, but if anyone is beating their wife we have EVERY reason to doubt the state of their current salvation. And this is clear in the New Testament, it takes a denominational upbringing or a seminary or other books written by "famous" preachers to so confuse us as to think we can be wife beaters and still have "no doubt about our salvation." If I am labeled judgmental for saying it I am willing to accept that as long as someone somewhere along the way is provoked to look at all the scriptures and not just their "favorite ones" that they might have misinterpreted.. and as a result is saved to the uttermost by Jesus Christ being freed from the bondage of sins and able to say.. Praise be to Jesus.. For sin shall not have dominion over me. If my provoking (though not judgmental) words cause others to refuse to agree with false teachings and agree only with the Word of God, so that they hate sin and eschew it, so that they fling all manner of sin (that they know of ) off of themselves with abhorrence and put on Christ, then I do not mind being called provoking, but provoking in Love because I would that all men live a spotless life with the fear of God as they look forward to His coming. May God Bless You as You Study His Word and equip you to Think and Speak only God's Word on the Subject. I will pray for you and your family and you husband as well. As an added note to the subject of women that are extremely hostile toward their husbands, verbally abusing them and almost trying to see how far they can provoke them with hateful words of accusation and poisonous darts of verbal abuse ...Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. In society this horrendous sin is much ignored. Since the woman is not verbally hitting the husband (though inside the man feels a much deeper pain and could take her slapping him better than her horrible words) the world does not consider it that big of a deal.

182 | Judgement does not heal abuse. | Jer 5:31 | Scribe | 86548 | ||
Part 2 of 2 However the majority of divorces (as to the man's opinion) is due to this sin of the women. The majority of divorces are not coming from the man beating the woman (not to make light of that horrible plague, for one case is too many) the majority of divorces from the man's view is coming from the women not getting control of her wagging tongue. She pulls down her house with her own hands and then weeps bitterly and blames the man when he abandons her. Is the man justified for leaving his wife. no not at all... he deals treacherously with her for doing so. Malachi 2:14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. But nevertheless, I see one of the greatest needs in the church to be that of teaching the women that to live like this.. never controlling your tongue and pouring out negative poison on your husband daily is going to lead to divorce and she will only have herself to blame. Women need to understand that what seems like a light thing to them is in God's eyes a horrible sin. So we read.. Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Now when a woman reads this and never does it, she is like a woman who build her house on the sand. Matthew 7:24-29 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. We have the promise keepers to help direct the church of men back into the revelation that they should not leave their wives. Now we need a Kindness Keepers organization to remind the women to quit trying to see if their men will leave be seeing how far they can push them with their tongues. And in these meetings we need to remind the church that what comes out of the mouth reveals the condition of the heart. Jesus said that these things defile the man. If a woman is spewing out poison on her husband, then why isn’t she feeling doubt about her heavenly destiny. I certainly would be. I would be convicted and be repenting in dust and ashes. Why do women so often spew out fruits of hell and then get ready for church? I ask this in such a way as to provoke us to see it the way God sees it, fear God and quit thinking we can act that way and still go to heaven. |

183 | Old Testament Law | Jer 7:23 | Scribe | 41128 | ||
There is a surge of cult groups in America today that are what you might call gentiles that are Jewish wannabees. They are trying to mix christianity with Jewish traditions. They believe you should keep feasts and sabbath and spell God's name right and many other such legalistic things. They have scriptures for their teachings but taken from the Law and they pick and choose which ones apply to us today and which ones don't. For instance they will use the description of a feast day that was written at the same time that instructions were given for what a woman should do on her cycle. They will reject the part about the women for today and keep the feast one. This exposes their lack of honesty in really wanting to OBEY God as they say. They also like to learn Hebrew words and I suppose they think that we will speak Hebrew in heaven. Many of the things they say we must do are the very things Paul and the apostles already discussed and decided gentiles did not need to do such as circumcision. What do they do with Paul? They don't like Paul very much. They say listen to Jesus not Paul. This is strange to me since what they are really saying is listen to Matthew not Paul because Jesus wrote no new testament books so their letters in red are from Mark, or John or someone else. So if they were honest they would say "I believe Matthew was inspired but not Paul." But they say go by what Jesus said not Paul, becuase this has a little bit of convincing power to a weak and ignorant mind which they are trying to ensnare. These modern false Jews love to claim Jewish heritage and they have none. There is nothing new about the agenda of the demonic powers behind these Hebrew Roots cults and Name cults. They have this common trait of satisfying a smitten conscience with another sacrifice than that which is provided for sin which is Jesus Christ. They want to do a certain easy to keep legal practice such as church on Saturday and celebrating feast day and addressing God as G-d when they write so that their conscience is appeased and they feel a sense of righteousness. Now this is exposed as flesh because the emphasis is on the flesh impulse to be an elite sort of "christian" that has an inside revelation and that is special to God in that they are the keepers of the special laws when others are not. This is all flesh. It is not faith in God. It is dangerous because it has to deny the teachings of Paul which God chose to lay down so many fundamental doctrinal truths for the christian to live by. It is also dangerous because the spiritual elitism it produces is not the Love of Christ as taught by Paul and they find themselves spending more energy trying to convert Christians to their group than they do the lost to Christ which is always a tell tale sign of a cult. God Bless you ALL |

184 | Where are these names written down? | Jer 17:13 | Scribe | 86237 | ||
Man, what an awesome verse of scripture. Thanks for sharing it mommapbs. I noticed that the KJV says it like this... Jeremiah 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. I was thinking of Jesus writing in the sand while waiting for those without sin to cast the first stone. I like the idea (I know it is only speculation) that Jesus was writing the names of people they had sinned with like in adultery and they saw their names there and were so shocked by his omniescience they left. I think it had to be something like that becuase there are plenty of people who would pick up a stone and hurl it and declare they had never sinned people who are obstinate and beligerant and do not care whether they were lying or not, but something about Jesus writing in the sand made them all convicted. |

186 | How did prince of tyre become satan | Ezek 28:1 | Scribe | 46759 | ||
Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. The prophet is speaking of two things. He does address the king of Tyre but as he does he moves from the outward things we see and know such as the political affairs of men and into the spiritual "behind the scences" things, that of the powers of darkness that are using wicked kings for the plans of the prince of darkness. So as satan is called the prince of this world by Jesus Christ our Lord, and as Paul says that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but spiritual wickedness in high places, we understand that the powers of darkness are behind many things even if the men being used do not believe in such things. Remember also the angel Gabriel telling Daniel that he was sent to Daniel 21 days prior but the prince of persis resisted him and then Michael came and helped him. In that passage it is obvious that the prince of Persia he is talking about is not a man, for no man can resist and angel who are greater in power and might, but either satan or a fallen angel of great powers in the spirit realm but not greater than Michael. |

No. Ephraim is the inheritor of His Father Joseph. Remember the story, Manaseh was the oldest but Ephraim inherited the promises. This is speaking of the promise of the Jews being saved. Now we are waiting for that day. When they turn to Jesus Christ as the messaih on a national level, then the Lord will come to Mount Zion. | ||||||
199 | The coming of the Lord at the rapture | Joel 2:31 | Scribe | 86317 | ||
Part 1 of 2 Matthew 24:29-31 is a good verse to base a post tribulation rapture view. If it were the only scripture on the subject I would not think there would be any other view but post tribulation among the saints. However there are other verses, quite a few in fact. Listing them all and reading them in context there are going to be different conclusions among some of us. Paul said we see through a glass darkly but then (when the perfect day comes) we will see clearly. Until then we all have to walk by faith in the illumination of scripture we possess. I am not sure whether there is a pre tribulation rapture of the saints or a post tribulation rapture. So far I am leaning toward both. Here is one of the reasons I have considered a pre-tribulation rapture. Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Now it could mean "pray that you will be able to make it through all these things." but the general consensus among most scholars has been that it means escape completely as in not face them at all. But I am sure that will be debated until Jesus comes. It does not make sense that we should pray for death to escape them, no where in the scripture does FAITH pray for death, as a means of escape, only unbelief does that. Another reason is that in Rev 4 we have the 4 living creatures and the 24 elders all singing the same song, they sing Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; This makes it "clear" beyond controversy (at least in my mind) that the 4 creatures and 24 elders are simply a symbolic form or redeemed saints. They are not just Jews, because they are from every people and nation and tongue, they are not just 24 because there are more than 24 people groups, the number 24 is significant because it is a vision of the Levitical Priesthood, they also served in the temple 24 by lot and yet came from a group of over 24000. We see here a vision of the glorified saints serving in their heavenly offices, and they are "as angels" having inherited offices we once thought reserved only for cherubs and angels, they are seen in the 4 creatures and representing authority over the created world and say holy holy holy, as the cherubs of old, and yet they sing this song,, saying they are people redeemed by the blood. That being established, we conclude that before the very first seal is opened there are redeemed saints in heaven who are partaking of this heavenly scene. So who are they? Are they raptured saints or saints that have died and are with Christ even now? I don't know for sure. But if they are raptured saints then when does it occur? Could it be that the very translation of John is a prophetic type of the translation of the saints, so that the Voice he hears as a Trumpet saying Come up Hither (voice of the archangel and trump of God) are a type of the rapture that occurs and the next scene he is beholding glorified saints, and not only that but after the Lamb is declared the only one worthy to open the seals, these glorified saints are the ones that say COME and see, and a seal is opened, it is as if they are partaking in the releasing of the judgments that are poured out, as if the Lamb allows them to have a part. Indeed the saints shall judge the world. A common explanation for Matt 24:29-31 is that there is another gathering of saints who were saved during the tribulation. (continued on next post) |

200 | The coming of the Lord at the rapture | Joel 2:31 | Scribe | 86318 | ||
Part 2 of 2 One of the most powerful arguments for pre-trib, is the fact that we are not appointed to wrath. That is mentioned in several places, one of the places is in Romans. If we are to be delivered from the wrath to come it does not make sense that we would have to live under the outpouring of the seals, bowls, vials, trumpets, etc where the wrath of God is poured out in the Day of the Lord. If we do live through it then the only theological answer that fits would be that we would be supernaturally protected, but that is not the case in the book of Revelation, those saints there are allowed by God to be killed, and forbidden to fight back. Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. We see that the 144000 are sealed before judgement is poured out, and maybe that means all saints and that they are protected. I do not believe saints are going to be killed by the wrath of God, the judgments that come upon the wicked in Revelation. So that leaves only two things, they are supernaturally protected or, they die under the persecution of men and the antichrist, and do not die from the judgments that the antichrist and the wicked are dieing from. This might give you encouragement but it does not give me any. I think that the only way Paul’s instructions to comfort one another with these words applies is if I am promised not to see death, as he stated a generation would not see death. So we have conflicting messages often being thrown at us from these different views of prophesy. There are saints in the tribulation.. they die and are seen in heaven.. But Paul said those that are changed and rise do not die.. so those saints killed for their faith in Revelation are not of that generation that do not die... The saints mentioned in revelation are allowed to be killed by the antichrist and forbidden to fight back, so they are not the group that are changed at the "end of the tribulation" as you have suggested is the "only possible" meaning. Now we are left with the question if the saints in Revelation are not the ones that are changed and rise and do not die, then who are the saints that this will happen too? Is it the ones that are left at the end of the tribulation.. a remnant after the holocaust? Or is it the group that are ready for the Coming of the Lord in a pretribulation rapture, and who go out much more triumphantly shining like the sun, leaving the world to face the wrath of God. |
