42 | Who are "the least of these?" | Matt 25:40 | Dhaniei Zewditu | 219424 | ||
Dear John, Thank you for the welcome. You ask: "...if you don't mind my asking: why, pray tell, do you not call yourself a Christian?" The answer is involved and I'm afraid it would only open up a sour can of worms here, so if you don't mind, I would like to beg off answering that question. Thank you for your deference and understanding... Dhaniei |

Yenisa, "Being grafted in, does not make the Christians less. The natural branches were not pruned, but broken off. But this, doesn't make the Jews less." Great!! Amen!! I have two buttons that get me going - one being concerning Israel. Sometimes it gets pushed by my own misunderstanding, sometimes it's not so much me... As long as the discussion is kept in gentleness and causes one to seek answers - then it's all good. Last week I found myself in a "replacement theology" group of people - guess my button got pressed really hard :o) Sorry if I offended anyone, that was not my intention at all. Dhaniei |

John, I don't understand what part of that sentence you don't understand. The Jews are Abraham's descendants by ethnicticity (spell?), Gentiles (or Christians) are descendants by adoption and faith in Messiah. Jews receive the promise by the fact that they are Jews, Christians receive the promise by trust in Messiah. So, to go back to the original post, Jews are the "least of these" in Matthew and extended to those who trust in Messiah's finished work during (and after) the Book of Acts. The promise has never been recinded from its original inheritors, just extended to those who were not, at that time, a part of that group of people. Dhaniei |

46 | Who are "the least of these?" | Matt 25:40 | Dhaniei Zewditu | 219388 | ||
Dear CDBJ, I have no quarrel with that at all, but please look back at the original promise. It was a promise, not a covenant. But if one insists on calling it a covenant, it wwould be unilateral, not a "if you...then I..." bilateral covenant. Nothing was required of Abraham for God to keep His promise to him. I believe that all of Abraham's descendants, then and now, Jewish and Christian, fall under that promise, whether they receive Jesus or not, and all those who either bless or curse Israel also fall under that promise for blessing or cursing, to the Jew first, then to the Gentile. (This was not a promise only of eternal salvation through his Seed, it was also a promise of earthly blessing and cursing and that is what I was commenting on. Perhaps I should have been more clear?)

Dear Azure and Yenisa, Excuse me for just jumping in, but there were no christians at the time of Matthew 12. Jesus did have brethren and brothers, though, His people, the Jews. Throughout the NT we read, 'to the Jew first, then to the Greek'. Was not the promise given to Abraham by God that all who blessed him (Abraham's descendants) God would bless, and all who cursed him God would curse? Why should the statement in Matthew be any different? (Christians become included by being grafted into Israel, but the promise remains to the Jewish people.) Thank you for listening. Dhaniei |

Good morning Val, I agree with you. Let me add one of my favorite verses to those you shared: (Rev. 19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.") Rev. 19:8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. (Notice that the bride makes HERSELF ready to wear the fine linen of her righteous acts. Of course, it is agreed that without the salvation that comes by grace through faith in Messiah there is no opportunity, no way to make one's self ready for anything but condemnation. The righteous acts do not purchase salvation, just great garments :o) .) Dhaniei |

49 | How is Fri to Sun 3 days and nights? | NT general | Dhaniei Zewditu | 219371 | ||
Justme, Amen and amen!! Although it's not an issue to become divisive over (very few are) I do believe that a prophecy that is so clearly one of Messiah, one that is so "black and white" must be reconciled or it will have to bring into question other prophecies that are not so clear and yet are accepted as concerning our Savior. It is not something that I feel compelled to convince anyone on, I've put it out there for everyone's consideration, that's all. If I'm right, I've done what is required, if I'm wrong, please forgive and we both know our Father will straighten me out, lol. Dhaniei |

50 | Unforgiveable sin. | Luke 12:10 | Dhaniei Zewditu | 219334 | ||
Dear Mr. Jones, Being sorry has NOTHING to do with repentance. Changing your mindset and the direction in which you're headed has EVERYTHING to do with repentance. One can be truly sorry that they cheated on their spouse, stole money from the till, scarfed away that cookie cooling on the rack, etc. That same person was probably even sorrier the next time they did the deed, and the next, and the next.... Repentance institutes a CHANGE, not only in attitude but in actions. There will never again be a second (or third, or fourth, etc.) time. The mind (or heart, if you prefer to call it that) is changed by an act of the will - this is repentance which leads to salvation. Brought on by the Holy Spirit, convicting the inner man that is now alive in those of us called by God to be walking epistles. Other deeds will be committed, we are all human, and we're basically "screw-ups", but being sorry for these deeds will accomplish nothing except condemnation. Only a changing of our thinking and behavior will turn us toward the Way and keep us walking in that direction. And we can only do this by the Spirit of our Lord and Master. Dhaniei |

51 | How is Fri to Sun 3 days and nights? | NT general | Dhaniei Zewditu | 219333 | ||
Dear Searcher, I must agree with you on the Friday thing (or Nissan 15) as this would be the first day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread. This first day (whatever day it falls on each year is a Special Sabbath). Special Sabbaths have a few less restrictions to them (such as being able to prepare the meals, a bit more traveling distance, etc.) but the restrictions such as touching a corpse still applies. If one follows the days, counting backwards, in the book of John (John 12:12-13, you quoted it yourself), we actually find that Yeshua's (Jesus) arrival in Jerusalem was not on a Friday, but on the Sabbath (most likely Fri. evening after sundown, but still to the Jew, on the 7th day, on the Sabbath). Then we have the 4 days that the Lamb was to be brought into the house and examined. (Again, you stated it!) It was a common term to call the Temple the House, and He was indeed examined for 4 days by the Pharisees, Saduccees, scribes and ordinary people for the next 4 days and was found to be without fault, spot or blemish. He was slaughtered on the 4th day of the week, the Saduccean Day of Preparation (this would be Weds. when the earth was covered in darkness). (The Pharisaic Day of Preparation fell on the next day, according to the time the very first meal was eaten in Egypt, which was around midnight on the 15th of Nisan.) This would put our Lamb in the tomb sometime before sunset on Weds. evening to the time just after sundown on Saturday (a time the Jews call Havdalah, a very short period of time where heaven and earth touch, where the holy merges just for an instant with the common as we leave the holy for the mundane of the coming work week[just a tradition, but a very profound tradition]). Within a few short hours, very early on Sunday morning at dawn, there is the wondrous finding of an empty tomb!! So, we have Weds pm to Thurs am equaling 1 night. We have Thurs pm to Fri am equaling 1 night. And we have Fri pm to Sat am equaling 1 night. 3 Nights. We have Thurs am to Thurs pm equaling 1 day. We have Fri am to Fri pm equaling 1 day. We have Sat am to Sat pm equaling 1 day. 3 Days. He was never actually in the tomb on Sunday, He had risen, His empty tomb was discovered on this wonderful day. Dhaniei |

Yensisa, I have to stand by your interpretation for the most part. Yeshua DID indeed spill the blood and purifying water for all mankind. It is up to each man individually to receive the atonement. If those words of forgiveness did not include the Sanhedrin, then the whole rest of the NT is a lie. (I think I'll not touch on the statement made about those who were "just following orders." That one hits a little too close to home to tackle.) Dhaniei |

Shalom Lionheart, Point taken and agreed upon with you. The questioner was not too clear on what the problem is, who may be at fault, whether this is just another member or someone in authority, so I choose to include both passages - trying to cover all bases. :o) Thanks for the welcome. Dhaniei |

58 | that I might gain themthat are without | Luke 14:23 | Dhaniei Zewditu | 218936 | ||
Dear Carol, NO, it does not line up. Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Mat 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Mat 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. If there is a person who is angry with you, whether from something real or preceived, you are told to approach this person and make it right. If this person will not respond, then you are freed up, you have done what God has told you to do - walk in with your head held high. (The same holds true if you are the one having a real or preceived problem with that person - fix it.) If this is a really serious problem we have these verses: Mat 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. Mat 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. Mat 18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. But, no, slinking around in God's house to avoid someone certainly DOES NOT line up with God's Word. Dhaniei |

Shalom and blessings Willow, Here are a few, I hope the one you're searching for is among them: Gen. 12:1-3; 177; Exod. 20:16; 34:9; Deut. 5:10; 7:9 If none of these are what you are looking for, I'm sure someone else will be able to help you. Dhaniei |

60 | Creation of Angels | Ex 20:11 | Dhaniei Zewditu | 218878 | ||
Shalom and blessings Yenisa I am NOT into the big gap theory at all, but there does seem to be a bit of time between Gen. 1:1 "In the beginning..." to Gen. 1:3 where the actual 6 days of creation began. We do not know how long a time verse 2 speaks of - whether it's a day or a millennium, there does seem to be some time that we know nothing about. I think that one of your other responders mentioned the fact that the 6 days speaks of the creation of the physical things (that we can relate to), there really is no mention of anything spiritual being created. That could mean that they were already in existence before verse 1 or they could have been brought into existence during the verse 2 time period. OR, this topic could be (most likely is) one of those belonging to Deut. 29:29. :o) Dhaniei |
