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.

63 | 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. |

65 | 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) |

66 | 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. |

67 | did adam and Eve ever get forgiveness? | Matthew | Scribe | 42009 | ||
Well actually they did confess their sins. Just read the account. God asks what have you done and Adam says he ate the fruit. Adam said I was afraid and hid myself. The woman said I was beguiled and I did eat. They were not passing blame in my opinion. I know that is commonly preached but I never saw it from the first time I heard it to date. They are being straight forward and honest in their confession. They are telling God exactly what they did. If they had not of done that or if they were unwilling to accept blame and deny that they had done anything wrong they would not have recieved a covering for their sin. | ||||||
68 | What is the Lord teaching in this verse? | Matt 7:6 | Scribe | 41479 | ||
I see the dogs as demonic powers. You see the pharisees that would take the holy things of God that were spoken by Christ and the apostles and rend them with gainsaying and stubborn rejection of the truth were acting like wild dogs and hungry pigs in the way they ignored the precious truths that had the power to give them eternal life, ignored it like it was idiocy not worth their mental time, and they then try to kill the messenger. The same teaching is given when Jesus sends us out to win the lost, He tells us that if a house will not recieve you then you are to let your peace return to you and go on. The point is that if I am going to share precious truths of God and the Word of God with a person that is hostile to the things of God and takes on that murderous personality when you begin to discuss the scripture, it is best to just move on to a more worthy audience. There are those that have no interest in God at all and hate you for trying. You are supposed to be lead along by the Holy Spirit and He will lead you to those that are more open. Theses dogs and swine do not know they are demonized and the dog and the swine is the demon behind the person's hostil attitude. There is no attempt to call someone of another denomination or doctrinal belief a dog or swine that would really make you the dog and swine if you were doing that. That being said. Condsider the subject of the gifts of the Holy Spirit that operated in the church in the book of Acts. Paul spoke at length of these in 1 Cor 12-14 If I were to be studying what is there in these passages and I noticed that tongues is available to all believers that are filled with the Holy Spirit and I am sharing the scriptures about this with a christian believer and he becomes hostile and angry and resorts to quoting half verses about Love is the greatest gift and we don't need to speak in tongues today , and then descends into blasphemous statements of saying tongues is of the devil, etc. and if this person has no desire to see what scripture you have about tongues but plugs his ears and and begins to chant "I hate tongues, I hate tongues, I hate tongues" (just kidding but you get my point) this brother is not a dog or a swine, but the principle hear still applies. You should not even discuss it with him because you do not want the Holy things of God such as the Holy Spirit Gifts that are so wonderful and precious that He chose to impart to the church to be maligned and rent by the ignorant and prejudiced words even of a fellow christian brother. So you just move on and live a holy life of service to Christ being a witness empowered by the Holy Ghost and operating in the Gifts as the Spirit Wills. If in time your relationship grows with the brother they may see your good works and glorify God and ask more about what scriptures you were talking about and be more open to the subject as dealt with in the Bible. But until they get to that attitude you cannot and should not be discussing these Holy things with them for their own good becuase you Love them and do not want to provoke them to speak antagonistically about the Holy Spirit Gifts. |

72 | Binding and Loosing. What is it? | Matt 16:19 | Scribe | 46812 | ||
I do not understand your question. But I see something here about a person being given over to satan for the destruction of the flesh becuase he is not willing to repent. It is a spiritual subject. I see it as a spiritual matter. Not a mere outward governmental matter of certain ecclesiastical rules and regulations but the context in Matt 16 reveals that Jesus is talking about divine revelation, or "you did not get this from man but my Father in heaven revealed it to you" and so in Matt 18 it seems as though the same subject is being dealt with which is that if you send out the unrepentant man from the midst, there are certain spiritual forces that will be allowed to affect him. It is a mystery but I think that is what I am seeing. | ||||||
73 | Binding and Loosing. What is it? | Matt 16:19 | Scribe | 46941 | ||
OK that is the surface. But what about these statements.. Flesh and blood hath not revealed it to you but my Father in Heaven... That is spiritual... and then when Paul says to deliver such an one over to satan, well that statement alone opens up our minds to a whole panarama of spiritual truth about certain powers of darkness that are at work when the fallen unrepentant one goes outside of the fellowship of the church, hoping that by that means of the discipline of the havoc performed in his life as a result of having been made "exposed" to the devil that he will come to his senses and repent and be recieved back again. Of course it is spiritual and the whole reason we shun the Roman Catholic Approach to these passages is becuase we all saw how they removed the spiritual from them and applied them only to the idea of outward church government and used them as it were for all manner of abuse of civil/ecclisatical government over the private affairs of men. Now we have come along way since then and yet in some areas such as this one we still find little in the way of new understanding other than what the Catholics always said it meant. It is amazing how many commentaries still state that this passage means Jesus gave Peter the authority to rule the church in governmental decrees. | ||||||
74 | What is the literal Greek translation? | Matt 22:37 | Scribe | 64731 | ||
These are good thoughts. I don't think any serious bible student suggests that we should not be concerned with baptism, I think the debate occurs when the idea is suggested that someone in a prison in a country that will not allow baptism to be performed (and yes this happens and even in the US) that the prisoner is not saved if he has expressed faith in Christ and has a testimony of being born again. It might be as much as 8 months or more before he is allowed to be baptized by a chaplain in jailhous infirmary bathtub. Is he saved during the 8 months? Yes of course I was :) and I had the fruit of a changed life as well as the baptism of the Holy Spirit to proove it. Did I have the right to dismiss the need for baptism? Of course not. As soon as I was able I jumped at the chance. And yet I was saved an on my way to Heaven and leading others to christ preaching the Gospel under the annointing of the Holy Spirit for months. Some would say, I should not make up such scenarios becuase they do not happen, but that is not true, if you are in prison ministry you know that it is a daily issue, do you affirm that the young men you are ministering to are born again, and teach them the doctrine of eternal security in Christ as you do other saints or do you leave them in doubt until the baptism of water when it could be months before that occurs? Yes I know that they allow baptism in water by chaplains, but it is planned and often in many institutions very infrequent. This raises another question I have. Why don't we seek to baptize people as fast as Peter did. Why do we seem so ho hum about baptizing when the next "baptismal service" is scheduled on the church calendar? As stated I believe that in cases like prison the new believer is just as saved and born again as anyone else if he has faith in Christ, even though he has not yet been baptized in water. However if the opportunity is there, what gives us the idea we should not be as urgent about finding water as they did in ACTS. I am a firm believer that despite the challenges and problems we see in the first church the book of Acts is our pattern, it is no a changeable pattern to be modified to fit our day. If they saw baptism in water as urgent so should we. If I pastored I would seek to baptize the same day someone repented, I don't care if the church service lasts longer, and all the half baked get mad and leave, the real saints will be left rejoicing as we baptize the new believer impromptu and forget about this sending out cards to family members and bringing your video camera. We have become quite wierd in our complacent and indifferent attitude toward the eternal things of a Holy God. |

Thank you Jude2425 for you thoughts. Interesting interpretation. I have found others that seem to see the fair treatment of oppressed Jews in this passage as well. So you are suggesting that if the gentile saved person visited a sick Jew, he would then be rewarded. What if he only visited sick gentiles? |

77 | In the book of Matthew, who are the goat | Matt 24:1 | Scribe | 85038 | ||
I believe that the message is that we are to show love by our actions toward our brother. Jesus says "in as much as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren" is probably not meant to mean the race of the Jewish people, but more likely first and foremost the Christian that obeys the Lords commands, as He says in another place, "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." And we have the oft admonition of Paul to show compassion, and support unto the household of faith, and again his continuous concern for the poor among the saints throughout the book of Acts. Do not mistake me, I do not believe a person who is hungry should be ignored by a passing saint whether or not that hungry man is part of the church or not. However, if it be a sin to ignore the "unidentifiable" man under the bridge downtown, how much more will we be counted guilty who ignore the needy among our own local fellowship of believers. We are first given the responsibility and accountability before God over our handing of the needs we know about among our brethren and that which is within our poor to relieve. I agree that this passage in Matthew 25:32 does apply to serving all the needy but particularly those of the church. If so.. where will the man end up who claims "belief" in Christ and who has the power to relieve the suffering in his own circle of influence and lifts not a finger to help because doing so might hinder plans for purchasing a bigger house, 5 times larger than his family needs? Will the Lord say.. enter in.. you loose a few rewards.. but it is not that big of a deal.. after all you did believe the things in the Bible really happened. Or will he say.. depart from me... Go over there with the goats. You knew of needs among your own church and it was in your power to help that sister or brother. You said to yourself.. That is the pastors job, if they need help let them go to him. " I am not trying to change the doctrine of Grace, and salvation by faith. However, did you know that Luther had issues accepting James as canonical? This tells me that even then men have a tendency to think actions of love might somehow be related to attempts to making oneself appear righteous by practicing the Law. The two are nothing alike. The law is a list of precepts that one can keep without even understanding their meaning or shadow. Then such a legalist can go about having no love for others and deceive himself into thinking he is righteous because he kept the list of precepts, line upon line. The spiritual man who is following Faith and not the works of the law is full of Love and will be seeking to help others. Does this active love that helps others save the man? No, Faith is what saves Him, but as James said, the kind of Faith that God accepts is not a faith we make up and call it faith, but the kind of Faith HE GIVES US, and that Faith works by Love, there is no such thing as saving faith that does not love others and actively prove it. If we find that we are doing nothing to relieve the suffering of saints in our realm of influence then we have every reason to examine the validity of our faith. We can have the real God kind of Faith, the only kind He accepts, but we must not allow deception to enter in and "ease" our conscience into accepting less than the real kind of Faith that seeks to help others. Otherwise, even those that think they are part of the sheep will find they are nothing but goats in that day. I am afraid that in this age we have a mixed gospel. That sometimes the true Gospel is preached and at other times minister proclaim a false hope of salvation that costs men nothing. The gift of eternal life is freely given to all that believe, and yet this never removes the fact that unless you are willing to take up your cross and follow him (which means you are willing to die for Him) you cannot be His disciple. Therefore Believing is not just mental assent, it is a total commitment unto death. But we have the promise that they that give their lives for His sake will find it. This is to be applied in a spiritual way, on a daily basis indeed, but it is also to be applied to the very act of self sacrifice in a physical way, giving up your own comforts to show love to another. This is message of the true Gospel and the only one that brings salvation. May God Bless You As You Study His Word. |

78 | the ten virgins | Matt 25:1 | Scribe | 44087 | ||
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Romans 9:6-9 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Romans 11:2-5 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. The promise of the salvation of Israel is indeed referring to Israel but only that true Israel who are of faith. God has taken out a people for His name. That does include the gentiles that blieve. The gentile becomes a Jew when he has faith and the jew becomes not a Jew when he does not have faith. God will bring out a people from the Land of Israel but they will not be a seperate people or a new church. There is one church and when God saves a Jew or a gentil they are part of that one church. God is not going to take the church and then deal with the Jew seperately . This is not scriptural but a made up eschatoligical dispenstational view that does not fit at all. God is going to save Israel the same way he saved Israelis in the book of Acts. I personally believe that we all become a part of Israel when we are born again. I believe we are grafted in as paul said. The grafted in part is not less than the tree part. We are one. You cannot really tell a branck that is grafted in. It truely becomes part of the tree. God showed his displeasure in the idea of Jews seperating their fellowship into thier own group seperate from Gentiles by Peters vision and by Paul rebuking Peter when he again thought this way. God is not going to go back to some kind of Jewish elitism in salvation in the end times. This is actually an affront to the Gospel and all that the apostles preached. We are to see God's vision to save jews and by all means preach to them to believe on Jesus. However God is never going back to Judaism not know and not in the Tribulation. The Jews may attempt it, but God will not save any that do it. God will only save those that turn to Jesus as the Christ. Those in Israel that do that recieve the revelation that God is saving all men. DO you really think that in the Tribulation there will be Jews that know Christ and the Love of the Father who will look at the masses around them and say. I wish I could tell you the gospel but it is too late. That will only happen after men die. Only then is it too late. Until then there will never be a saint that is not compelled by the love of Christ to save souls of every race. The 144000 are symbolic. I can proove this if you have hears to hear. I will proove it on my next post. |

79 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | Scribe | 40932 | ||
Thanks EdB. You are preaching the truth. Jesus was not forsaken in the sense of God leaving Him, or the Father not able to accept Him. The Bible on numerous occasions stresses just how acceptable the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross was. So you cannot have an acceptable sacrifice and an unacceptable one at the same time. Also, if Christ had died spiritaully there would be no legal right to be the substitution for our spiritual death, he suffered in all points like us YET WITHOUT SIN, is the rest of that verse. If at any time he was found with sin He would not qualify to take our place for sin or to become sin for us, which is quite different than being guilty of commiting sin. This was most definetly a cry for all those to remember to read that Psalm which at the time was not Psalm 22. How did they identify a portion of Psalms then? By saying the opening verse maybe? It was as if Jesus was saying READ THE PSALM "MY GOD, MY GOD why hast thou forsaken men" and if they did, they would have seen the reference to the soldiers casting lots for his garment, the piercing of the hands and feet, the offering of the drink to quench his thirst, and much more. Now that being said, was the Prophecy of Psalm 22 speaking about God Forsaking the Messaih? And if so what does that mean. It is the same kind of cry David often wrote about when He was in anguish of soul and said such things as "how long God? Will you be angry . ... etc. We know that God does not forsake those that serve Him but at times of anguish of trial and tribulation many men of God and prophets have expressed such words. So often does this occur in the scripture that you soon get the idea that every saint will feel this way at some time. But God is still there and victory is just around the corner. Jesus is simply expressing the Human emotional pain He suffered on our behalf, and also quoting the Psalm 22 (howbeit Jesus probably continued in lower volume or whispers the whole psalm 22 in comfort to get Him through this greatest of all trials) If people will continually reference the OT in their study of the New Testament, they will find many truths that are much more solid than what they have always heard from other teachers that did not really understand. GBU all and may you study the Word Daily. |
