41 | 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 |

43 | SHEPHERDS OR TREASURERS? | Jer 23:1 | teragram123 | 58104 | ||
Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord. 2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord. SHEPHERDS OR TREASURERS? While praying this morning, I felt the Lord saying that his ministers that were called to shepherd his flock have left their positions and gone over into the place of the treasurer. Finances now have become the key issue of the flock, and not the nurturing and mentoring and equipping of the saints. As Judas, every thing that the Lord sees as needed for the hour is now debated from the treasurers view point as Judas did since he "held the bag". Each word from the Lord is now being sifted thru the mind of the treasurer... is it financially wise? We need to pray for fresh revelation to come upon the church... to do the work of the Father... not financial consultants. |

44 | scriptual suport for Ezekiel 14:14 | Ezek 14:1 | teragram123 | 55293 | ||
read the context of the verse... 14:13-23 God’s people are expected to be righteous... all unrighteousness will be cut off... all that refuse the truth of the Gospel... God has not changed. He dealt with man differently in the OT... but the sin HE hates has not changed... all unrighteousness will be punished. To say we are saved by grace places us under great Responsibility to do what our LORD desires... at all cost. Those that say they are Christians and walk in darkness and sin are deceived and even God is their enemy... 2 Thes. 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [13] But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Sin is a mock of Christianity... Galatians 6:7 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. Some say well God sees my heart... Amen to that... and a righteous heart shows forth in a righteous life... Proverbs 20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. Peter preached righteousness to be accepted by God and not merely saying by grace am I saved... Acts 10:34-35 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: [35] But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. Paul told the church to “cut off” sinning saints not say they are merely saved by grace... 1 Cor. 5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. Our lives are to reflect Christ to the world... Col. 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. True believer do the word... not only hear it... 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. The fool hears the pure gospel but does not live pure lives... Matthew 7:26 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: The only ones to be blessed are the doers of the word... Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. The Pharisees were hypocrites not doing righteousness... merely trusting grace alone to save them... Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. James clearly tells us that Grace without a righteous life is worthless... James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.... 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? The righteous will do the deeds of righteousness, not merely fulfill their flesh and say they have faith in grace... Matthew 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? Grace manifests in a life that has truely been effected by GRACE... Grace reigns through righteousness! Sin brings death... Grace brings a righteous life with a reward of eternal life... Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. If Christ and His HOLY Spirit truly dwells within our heart... it will show in our lives... Philip. 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Grace shows it's self in a born again life thru righteousness... sin is a reproach to a nation, church or a believer. Grace endues with power to do God's will and deny my own will. Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. GRACE - charis Greek 5463 the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; |

45 | Satan.. man or not? | Ezek 28:12 | teragram123 | 57019 | ||
Ezekiel 28:12-14 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. [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. [14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28:15-18 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. [16] By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. [17] Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. [18] Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. Ezekiel 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. These verse seem to describe an earthly King... ruled by a spirit being... king of Tyre - Ithobalus II; cp - Ezekiel 28:2 Most of the verses describe a being that seems clearly to be supernatural... one would have to stretch the imagination to say they describe a mere mortal. This is more easily seen in comparison to the account in the book of Revelation in the accounts pertaining to the Anti-Christ who will rule as a mortal fully possessed by the spirit of satan. |

I believe you stopped reading before finishing the text... read on Ezekiel 28:13-17 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.

51 | Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? | Hosea | teragram123 | 58114 | ||
Adultery is not the unpardonable sin, but Christians have made it so... accept if it is for ourselves that is... than we of course plead grace and mercy. Adultery is grounds for forgiveness and walking out our vows. It seems that when we want out of our marriage adultery is just an excuse for un-forgiveness and hardness of the heart. If we can't stay with someone who has been unfaithful to us, can we expect forgiveness for our own failings. Isn’t it obvious that people leave one spouse to join another... though that person may have been unfaithful to their mate... yet we “forgive” the sin and marry them. Why not admit to the hardness of the heart and pray for forgiveness instead of breaking your vows. |

I am sorry if my response came across as uncaring. I care too much at times and get very involved in the fight to keep marriages together... not merely defend the excuse so many use today for divorce. I have found that most people claiming the divorce clause had lost the luster of their marriage long before the excuse came about and jumped at the way out... saying Christ made the way out. Did not Christ tell the Pharisees that it was not so in the beginning? Besides if adultery is the only clause for Christians to divorce... why is it not the reason that is put before the divorce court? Everything else is named against the spouse. .. but again as Christians are we to go to court one against another? I find it rather hard to take a spouse to court and still fulfill the Love verse... 1 Cor. 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. [5] It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. [6] Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. [7] It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. [8] Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. But again... if most be honest with their own heart... they were getting burned out on the relationship long before the unfaithfulness came in.... could it be the reason for the unfaithfulness? Maybe we should rename the reason for divorce- selfishness, or love-less- ness? Vows are made on the mountain tops and walked out in the valleys of our life. No body needs a vow on their wedding night... but years later when there just isn’t the spark (lust? maybe?) left in the relationship. That is the very reason the vows were made in the first place... correct? |

56 | allegory of the silversmith | Zech 13:9 | teragram123 | 55570 | ||
This came to me as a email... very good alagory for this verse... THE SILVERSMITH There was a group of women in a Bible study on the book of Malachi. As they were studying Chapter 3, they came across Verse 3 which says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver". This verse puzzled the women and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out about the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible study. That week this woman called up a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention the reason for her interest in silver beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest so as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot, then she thought again about the verse that says "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he had not only to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. For if the silver was left even a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered "That's the easy part, when I see my image reflected in it." If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep His hand on you and watch over you until He sees His image in you. --- Author unknown |

57 | God has not changed | Mal 3:1 | teragram123 | 54831 | ||
God is still a covenant God. 2 Tim. 3:1-3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, The apostacy of these last days does not change what God is, even though mankind has broken his part of covenants, God still will require it at our hands. No sin is unpardonable if we confess it (except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit) but the American gospel has hardened us against repentance. What God calls sin is sin and must be confessed and cleanse or be required at our hands. The church must get back to the Commission of Christ.. the gospel. Eze 3:17-20 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. [18] When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. [19] Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. [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. 21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. |

It is clear in this passage that Christ did not refute the statement that satan had made.. that he had the claim of the earth and could give it over to Christ without Him having to go to the Cross. The title deed to the earth was held at this time by satan, but Christ would soon win it from him in the battle on the cross and lead captivity captive. |

Dear bartay - Can you tell me where in the Bible you are basing this statement... "Jesus said that there was no excuse for divorce except adultery being committed"... I have always understood that Fornication was the only reason. Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Is not Deut. 22 addressing the issue of fornication and reason for "putting away" lawfully? Please explain |
