21 | I need study notes on Is 43:26 | Is 43:26 | teragram123 | 56701 | ||
God was asking Israel to remember Him as a partner in their longstanding relationship, in Covenant, to reason together with Him, and to produce all the arguments possible in their own defense to justify their own backslidings and continued rebellion. There will be a real court and defence and witnesses in Heaven... for this very reason we need to be sure that Christ is our attorney! He on the other hand accused them of sin (Isaiah 43:24,27) He said they were disserving of punishment (Isaiah 43:28). He asked them to bring “evidence”, in self-defense to justify their actions or prove they were accused unjustly. compare this to 1 Samuel 12:3-5 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you. [4] And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand. [5] And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness. Psalm 94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. God keeps Covenant... Israel had made Covenant with Him... now He was about to judge the broken Covenant Deut. 10:12-13 And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, [13] To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? The Law of God will stand up in the “courts of Heaven”... this the very reason satan desires to get a “place” in our lives to legally work and destroy us. Ephes. 4:27 Neither give place to the devil. Place - topos, a spot (genitive in space, but limited by occupancy satan had a legal right to the earth until Christ won it thru the Cross. For this reason he could truly tempt Christ by offering it to Him if He would merely fall down and worship Him. Christ did not deny that satan could actually turn over the title deed to the earth... see notes on Rev 5.1 |

22 | Is "Revival" A Biblical Concept? | Ps 85:6 | teragram123 | 56017 | ||
Psalm 85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Psalm 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Hosea 14:7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Habakkuk 3:2 O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. VERY BIBLE |

It was fulfilled in Adam, and gave him 120 more years to live before being cut off. This word was given to Adam when he was 810 years old The meaning is, "for that he (Adam) is also flesh (as all other men are): yet his (Adam's) days shall be an hundred and twenty years" (Genesis 6:3)....

24 | WOMEN IN MINISTRY - PART 2 | 1 Tim 2:11 | teragram123 | 55752 | ||
This week in New York -- despite the warning received ten months ago on September 11, 2001 -- the United States came into one accord with the United Nations, the European Union and Russia in setting the stage for Israel to concede covenant land which was promised to her by God. Not only did Secretary of State Colin Powell effectively REVERSE President Bush's implied withdraw from endorsing a Palestinian State "until a change of Palestinian leadership" takes place, but on July 19 President Bush sealed the matter by reconfirming his commitment to establishing a Palestinian State WITHIN THREE YEARS. The spiritual covering over the United States was significantly weakened during the peace process in New York. America has now chosen her path, and this path will ultimately require a response from God. Unless America changes her present course, one can easily foresee severe natural disasters in the coming months... economic tensions, unprecedented earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other judgments as God lifts his hand of angelic covering from the United States of America. And what takes up the time of the Christians? Foolish debates on who God will use in these last hours. Just look at the volume of postings on such foolishness. Not to the saving of souls but to the puffed up minds filled with opinions. If God wants to use another dumb donkey to same my lost loved ones, I say so be it! Yes even a women would be fine with me if He so ordains it. The Pharisees could debate deep sayings but could not discern the signs of the times. Lets let God be God! If HE saves souls through a women, even if the PHARISEES say HE shouldn’t, who knows, that soul may be one of the two witnesses of the end times. No man comes to the Father except that the Spirit Draw, so if a women preaches and God saves, HALLELUJAH! A women is still the better choice than having to wait till the Rocks cry out. I have many lost loved ones that I really care less how or who God uses to save them. Time is running out, let your righteous energies be used for the Kingdom of God to the saving of souls , His heartbeat. He will take care of the women who get out of their place. Sad to say though, God may very well be calling women to pick up the slack for too many men that have ran from the call for many years. Who is the Blessed of God... the one called or the one that obeys the call? |

25 | Is tithing just O.T. or N.T. as well? | Matt 23:23 | teragram123 | 55713 | ||
Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord. Leviticus 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. Proverbs 3:9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: Ezekiel 20:40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. Ezekiel 48:14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the Lord. Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Luke 11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Many debates over the tithe being for the New Testament Christian. One thing if very clear... the tithe is the Lord's. The tithe is Holy. What would keep one from not tithing other that fear of doing without, greed, unbelief? Faith is what pleases God. |

Dear Stokeyhk, I have studied the watchtower... New World Translation... I find it interesting that in Joh 17.11 Jesus says that He has the Father's Name! Quoting from that translation... Also, I am no longer in the world,but they are in the world and I am coming to you. Holy Father, watch over them on account of your own name which you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are. |

27 | What day are we COMMANDED to gather? | Heb 10:25 | teragram123 | 55667 | ||
When we have to be commanded to assemble together... the love of the brethren is missing. Assembling of the body together is not for me to be or not be righteous. 1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? We assemble for the sake of others... Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. We assemble for the aid and comforting of others 2 Cor. 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. to encourage others to stay faithful... Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching. When a selfish spirit is reigning... we only see why we ourselves benefit from the assembling together. Love thinks not of it’s self but of another’s welfare 1 Cor. 10:24 Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. Galatians 6:2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 1 Cor. 13:5 Love is ... not self-seeking |

28 | Question about Church on Wednesday night | Heb 10:25 | teragram123 | 55665 | ||
Wednesday Bible study is a blessing. It is not meant to cause quilt upon the young families. This is one place the older members of the Church body can help out by ministering to the kids and allowing a chance for young parents to be in the Bible study and be strengthened. It is amazing how much my girls (now my grandchildren) enjoyed their Wednesday night classes. Strive to get your children involved in their own classes. There may be times when they will be dragging you! |

29 | Is it a sin if you don't go to church? | Heb 10:25 | teragram123 | 55663 | ||
WHY DO WE ASSEMBLE TOGETHER? Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching. It is not about me but the body as a whole. Ephes. 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: To be fitly framed together is to unify and aim for the glory of the Kingdom... not merely my will being done. We get no bonus point for going to church... we are the church going to minister and be ministered to. Ephes. 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Every joint (believer) is to supply something to the body... to build up the body for the work of God. Ephes. 4:16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. The body of Christ ministers to one another... we do not assemble for points toward our salvation or rewards in Heaven but to do the will of the Father... What we learn through life... we pass on to others... and the grace goes on and on 2 Cor. 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. Each member of the body ministers one to another... the five fold ministry unfolds to one another...1 Cor. 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. A Christian can not be an island... the fruit of the vine (Spirit) is produced in clusters. Anyone can be patient, kind, longsuffering, etc., when alone. But the true fruit of the Spirit is perfected in the assembling of ourselves together. For this very reason satan has strategically attacked the marriage unit. he knows that the smallest unit of the church body is the marriage... this is where he strives to weaken the body as a whole... weak couples, families make weak churches. Christ instituted the marriage as the symbol of Christ and the Church. The marriage is the hottest crucible of God... that produces the sweetest fruit for His glory. Is it a wonder that we see marriages attacked so today? |

Matthew 21:28-31 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. [29] He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. [30] And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. [31] Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. James 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Our confession of Christ is not enough, we must do His word. The son that said he would and did not did not do the fathers will only said he would. The other at first refused but than changed his mind and began to do the will of the Father. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. |

33 | What is the meaning of "line upon line" | Is 28:10 | teragram123 | 55565 | ||
1 Cor. 3:11-15 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Luke 6:48-49 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. [49] But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. In the beginning God... all truths rest upon this bedrock... Christ is that Rock one truth (line) must rest upon a truth previous to it... Psalm 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 1 Cor. 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. Christ knew that if they would not receive Moses words... He had nothing to build on in their faith.... John 5:45-47 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. [46] For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. [47] But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? this is the very reason cults are so difficult to witness to.. they define words differently than the Christian and you can’t build upon their “truth” |

34 | If any man destroys the temple | 1 Cor 3:16 | teragram123 | 55547 | ||
have you consider this verse? Ezekiel 3:20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. God still hates sin... the way of cleansing is made simple by Christ Blood, confess and be cleansed - never the less God will still not tolerate sin in the Christians life. Galatians 6:7-9 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. [8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. [9] And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. |

1 Cor. 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: [11] But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. No sin is unpardonable accept one - Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Even if he was unfaithful to his vows during separation... Christians are given the ministry of reconciliation... by grace given us we can and should forgive others...no matter the sin. 2 Cor. 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; charis, Greek 5485, Strong's - the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; Many say I can't forgive them... but that is where we need nore grace... divine influence in the heart reflecting into our lives. Philip. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. If we want grace toward our sin - we must be willing to extend grace toward another's sin as well. Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Marriage is a sacred institution in God's eyes. Sad to say, too many profession Christians today refuse to forgive unfaithfulness of a spouse, but if they themselves are unfaithful, they plead grace for themselves. Unfaithfulness is not the unpardonable sin but the liberal minded Christian has made it so unless it of course is their own unfaithfulness... than we hear about the power of God's grace to forgive them! Matthew 10:8 ... freely ye have received, freely give. Back to the original translation from the Greek... fornication is spoken of in the passage... not adultery. Liberal views say it is adultery so they can divorce their mate. Jesus did not give a reason except Hardness of the heart and un-forgiveness toward the mate. Joseph was about to use this "law" to put Mary away before being stopped by the Holy Spirit...He assumed that her virginity had been taken since she was pregnant. The fornication he assumed referred to Deut. 22:13-21 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, [14] And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: [15] Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: [16] And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; [17] And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. [18] And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; [19] And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. [20] But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: [21] Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you. No one was ever to marry a non virgin.. Leviticus 21:14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. Deut. 22:28-29 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; [29] Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. Only the cause of “fornication” was the excuse for divorce... but than Christ dismissed even that reason... no reason for un-forgiveness and hardness of heart... forgive as you yourself have received forgiveness or if he took her virginity, he was to marry her Why has Christians made unfaithfulness the unpardonable sin? |

For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Abdias, declareth that under his execution Nero sent two of his esquires, Ferega and Parthemius, to bring him word of his death. They, coming to Paul instructing the people, desired him to pray for them, that they might believe; who told them that shortly after they should believe and be baptised at His sepulcher. This done, the soldiers came and led him out of the city to the place of execution, where he, after his prayers made, gave his neck to the sword.---Foxes Book of Martyrs |
