41 | Who was this guy Jesus? | Acts 3:22 | He-man | 139409 | ||
How does this relate to OT prophetically: There was a guy named Moses who said a few things about some guy named the messiah, anointed one, savior or whatever came to be written like in the book of Deuteronomy 18:18 18 Apparently saying he would put some yeast in a pot to get a rise out of an Inspired man right there in the middle of someone's brother, and that he would put words in his mouth; whatever he was told to say. See Acts 3:22 Then this guy Zech comes along in 9:8,9 And agrees with Moses , when he will come to see us and even what he looks like(v. 9) and of the place he will make home...see Matt 21:5 So I guess Moses was afraid and went and hid when he heard the other Guy say he was his fathers Father and Isaac's and Jacob's. Ex 3:6 See Matt 22:32 "God of the Living" So old Zech 11:12,13 said to them, If you think I'm good, give me my money; and if not, forget it. So they gave him his price 30 pieces of silver. 13 And he took it and threw in where he was told, so it could be made into something in his bosses house See MATT 27:35 Well, with all this going on David had to get in the act, so he said in Psalm 2:7 I'm going to tell you what is what: the Boss told me, I was his Son; and that I was born Today. See ACTS 13:33 Acts 13:22,23 So Ike (Isaiah 11:10) Said well that's nothing in that day there shall be a sheresh of David's father, which shall stand for signal of the people; and all these strange people will try to get it: See ROM 15:12 And then David shortly said Psalm 8:6 That You made him in charge of everything that was made by You; and then You put them for him to step on with his feet: see Heb 2:8 David was upset and called his dogs in Psalm 22:16,18 he was getting surrounded by mean people: then they pierced my hands and my feet. 18 Then they took off his pants and things and divided them up and took a number to see who got to pick what first. So it wasn't any wonder that he broke down and said: Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? See Matt 27:46 So, he swore at him and made him the President Psalm 110:4 for ever after the order of Melchizedek. See Heb 5:6,10 And then they refused to build a stone house. Psalm 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. See Mark 12 :10 That made everybody mad so they called all the Presidents of the world, Psalm 2:2,3 to counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. But they said what we want is the President of Salem not some goofball idiot. Genesis 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth (King of Salem) see Heb 7:1,2 |

45 | He-man, What OT promise did you quote? | Prov 14:18 | He-man | 139392 | ||
I hope this is much clearer; You guys apparently are not to familar with the bible without explanation so here goes..These were the promises of a messiah, he gave to the Hebrews in the OT. "and that he will choose Jerusalem again, as he had chosen it formerly, to put his name there; he will renew and confirm the choice, and continue it a chosen place, till it must resign its honours to the Jerusalem that is from above". Heaven is his holy habitation above; thence WE MUST EXPECT HIM TO APPEAR, Isa. 64:1. Silently acquiesce in his holy will, and patiently wait the issue, as those who are assured that when God is raised up OUT OF HIS HOLY HABITATION(like you know, a place called HEAVEN) he will not retreat, nor sit down again, till he has accomplished his whole work (You know like, Here on EARTH "the meek shall inherit the EARTH", Psalms 37:11,in the Future of these writers).see Hab. 2:20; Zep. 1:7. Read Psalms 22 the whole chapter describes Christ. Like in the NT Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. | ||||||
46 | Where are the OT promises of the Messiah | Prov 14:18 | He-man | 139350 | ||
Proverbs 14:18 The Jews did not see Jesus restoring the land or silencing the enemies of the church. "The Lord’s portion is his people. God will inherit Judah again as his portion, will claim his interest, and recover the possession out of the hands of those that had invaded his right. He will protect his people and govern them as a man does his inheritance, and will be at home among them. He will choose Jerusalem again, as he had chosen it formerly, to put his name there; he will renew and confirm the choice, and continue it a chosen place, till it must resign its honours to the Jerusalem that is from above. Though the election seemed to be set aside for a while, yet it shall obtain. Here is silence proclaimed to all the world besides, v. 13. The daughter of Zion must sing, but all flesh must be silent. Observe here, A very awful description of God’s appearances for the relief of his people. He is raised up out of his holy habitation; as a man out of sleep (Ps. 44:23; 78:65), or as a man entering with resolution upon a business that he will go through with. Heaven is his holy habitation above; thence we must expect him to appear, Isa. 64:1. His temple is so in this lower world; thence from between the cherubim he will shine forth, Ps. 80:1. He is about to do something unusual, unexpected, and very surprising, and to plead his people’s cause, which had long seemed neglected. A seasonable caution and direction at such a time: Be silent, O all flesh! before the Lord—before Christ and his grace (let not flesh object against the methods he takes)—before God and his providence; the enemies of the church shall be silenced; all iniquity shall stop her mouth. The friends of the church also must be silent. Leave it to God to take his own way, and neither prescribe to him what he should do nor quarrel with him whatever he does. Be still, and know that he is God. Stand still, and see his salvation. See Hab. 2:20; Zep. 1:7. Silently acquiesce in his holy will, and patiently wait the issue, as those who are assured that when God is raised up out of his holy habitation he will not retreat, nor sit down again, till he has accomplished his whole work. " Henry,Matthew. "Commentary on Zechariah 2." |

Psalm 37:9,11,22 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. |

Are you not aware of this? Proverbs 14:18 18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. Zechariah 2:12,13 12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. 13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation. Hebrews 6:17,18 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: I think you missed the point...look at Isaiah Isaiah 57:13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain; Psalm 37:29,34 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. Psalm 25:13,14 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH. 14 The SECRET of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his COVENANT. Psalm 37:9,11,22 9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Psalm 69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. Isaiah 65:9 9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. Revelation 2:26 26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give POWER OVER THE NATIONS: (I don't think there are any nations in the sky.)Genesis 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. Genesis 28:3,4 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; 4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. Hebrews 11:39-40 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Exodus 32:13 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it FOR EVER. Leviticus 20:24 24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people. Revelation 21:2,3 and the whole chapter: 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming DOWN from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is WITH men, and he will dwell WITH THEM and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Hebrews 11:20-22 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. Deuteronomy 18:18 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. Gen. 16. Hagar; Ishmael. But this was not the accomplishment of the promise. Thirteen years elapsed, during which Abram still dwelt in Hebron, when the covenant was renewed, and the rite of circumcision established as its sign. This most important crisis in Abram’s life, when he was 99 years old, is marked by the significant change of his name to Abraham, “father of a multitude”; while his wife’s from Sarai became Sarah.

Do not specifically attack one persons beliefs. The agreement you accepted to join was "no discussion on the trinity is allowed on this forum" whether you disagree or not. Move on to another subject! The name Jehovah is our rendition of the actual God (good). Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures two chief names are used for the one true divine Being—Elohim, commonly translated God in our version, and Jehovah, translated Lord. Elohim is the plural of Eloah (in Arabic Allah); it is often used in the short form El (a word signifying strength), as in El-Shaddai, God Almighty, the name by which God was specially known to the patriarchs. Gen. 17:1; 28:3; Ex. 6:3. The etymology is uncertain, but it is generally agreed that the primary idea is that of strength, power of effect, and that it properly describes God in that character in which he is exhibited to all men in his works, as the creator, sustainer, and supreme governor of the world. The plural form of Elohim has given rise to much discussion. The fanciful idea that it referred to the trinity of persons in the Godhead hardly finds now a supporter among scholars. It is either what grammarians call the plural of majesty, or it denotes the fullness of divine strength, the sum of the powers displayed by God. Jehovah denotes specifically the one true God, whose people the Jews were, and who made them the guardians of his truth. The name is never applied to a false god, nor to any other being except one, the Angel-Jehovah, who is thereby marked as one with God, and who appears again in the New Covenant as “God manifested in the flesh.” Thus much is clear; but all else is beset with difficulties. At a time too early to be traced, the Jews abstained from pronouncing the name, for fear of its irreverent use. The custom is said to have been founded on a strained interpretation of Lev. 24:16; and the phrase there used, “The Name” (Shema), is substituted by the rabbis for the unutterable word. In reading the Scriptures they substituted for it the word Adonai (Lord), from the translation of which by vKurio" in the LXX, followed by the Vulgate, which uses Dominus, we have the Lord of our version The substitution of the word Lord is most unhappy, for it in no way represents the meaning of the sacred name. The key to the meaning of the name is unquestionably given in God’s revelation of himself to Moses by the phrase “I am that I am,” Ex. 3:14; 6:3. We must connect the name Jehovah with the Hebrew substantive verb to be, with the inference that it expresses the essential, eternal, unchangeable being of Jehovah. But more, it is not the expression only, or chiefly, of an absolute truth: it is a practical revelation of God, in his essential, unchangeable relation to his chosen people, the basis of his covenant.

Jeremiah 23:21 21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. Everyone has the freewill choice to accept or reject Jesus; not by coercion.

56 | Has the church replaced Israel? | Rom 11:25 | He-man | 139160 | ||
Being an adopted son you are entitled to the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to inherit the land of Israel and the Saviour. Galatians 3:29 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:16-18 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Hebrews 11:13 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 2 Corinthians 1:20 20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Romans 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Galatians 4:5,6 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 2 Corinthians 6:17,18 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Romans 8:14,15 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

57 | Was Vashti justified in refusing? | Esth 1:11 | He-man | 139091 | ||
Vashti (beautiful), the “queen” of Ahasuerus, who, for refusing to show herself to the king’s guests at the royal banquet, when sent for by the king, was repudiated and deposed. Esther 1. (b.c. 483.) Many attempts have been made to identify her with historical personages; but it is far more probable that she was only one of the inferior wives, dignified with the title of queen, whose name has utterly disappeared from history.Esther 1:12 12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. There seems to be no indication she was justified, possibly they were all drunk and expected the women to cater to their whims. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

It was published before the destruction of Jerusalem, a.d. 70.—Alford. We would place our present Gospel between a.d. 60 and 66. If there was an original Hebrew Gospel, an earlier date belongs to it.—Ellicott. 4. Its object.—This Gospel was probably written in Palestine for Jewish Christians. It is an historical proof that Jesus is the Messiah. Matthew is the Gospel for the Jew. It is the Gospel of Jesus, the Messiah of the prophets. This Gospel takes the life of Jesus as it was lived on earth, and his character as it actually appeared, and places them alongside the life and character of the Messiah as sketched in the prophets, the historic by the side of the prophetic, that the two may appear in their marvellous unity and in their perfect identity.—Professor Gregory. The Jewish historian Josephus furnishes an illustration of the fate of the Hebrew original of Matthew. Josephus himself informs us that he wrote his great work, “The History of the Jewish Wars,” originally in Hebrew, his native tongue, for the benefit of his own nation, and he afterward translated it into Greek. No notices of the Hebrew original now survive.—Professor D. S. Gregory. 3. The date.—The testimony of the early Church is unanimous that Matthew wrote first among the evangelists. Irenæus relates that Matthew wrote his Gospel while Peter and Paul were preaching, and founding the Church at Rome, after a.d. 61.

You got in on the last part of this thread. The answer on hypnosis was posted after I made this post and I have included the question and the answer by someone called Candibar at the bottom of this note followed by my response: Romans 8:24 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? You are auto-hypnotic! A preacher asked to pray for me and I said okay. We were alone and he started praying. He then said "as soon as you feel the power of the Holy Spirit raise your hand and shout hallelujah". I immediately shot up my hand and shouted hallelujah, as fast as I could because he almost had me hypnotized. I kept quiet to see what he would say. He gave me post-hypnotic suggestions that I would no longer smoke or chase after women and a bunch of other things! Be carefull not to be fooled by imitators of Christ! ANSWER: All hypnosis is self hypnosis. One cannot be hypnotized against their will. If you have any questions regarding hypnosis, you can contact a Christian Clinical Hypnotherapist, Christopher Scott at cscott27@comcast.net. To which I replied the following: Hypnosis also may be self-induced, by trained relaxation, concentration on one's own breathing, or by a variety of monotonous practices and rituals that are found in many mystical, philosophical, and RELIGIOUS systems. After the person’s eyes are closed, further suggestions for various imaginative experiences are given. For example, individuals might be asked to extend their arms and imagine a heavy object pushing their hands and arms down or to hear a voice asking questions over a loudspeaker (OR A PREACHER SAYING shout HALLELUJAH!). Or, the hypnotist might suggest that when they open their eyes, they would not be able to see some object that has been placed in front of them. Posthypnotic suggestions may also be given for responses to occur after hypnosis has been terminated, including POSTHYPNOTIC AMNESIA, the inability to remember events and experiences that took place during hypnosis |
