61 | our sacrifice and our faith | Rom 12:1 | meusing | 43527 | ||
Jesus said that those who believe in Him out of His belly shall flow streams of living water (John 7:38). see also John 4:14 CHM was speaking metephoricly about us finding our all in all in God. as Jeremiah said God is the fountain of living water, all other is streams from broken cisterns.(Jer 2:13). Rising up early in the moning to do God's will even if it is as in Abraham's case to sacrifice your son is ready obedience -- looking at God and His promise rather than my own objections my 'creature stream' if you will THAT is living sacrifice. |

63 | our sacrifice and our faith | Rom 12:1 | meusing | 43468 | ||
As I was reading CHM's Notes of Gen. this passage caught my eye as it seems to relate here to Rom 12:1. please forgive any spelling mistakes. "The soul that has found ALL its springs in God, can, without any demur, retire from ALL creature streams. We dan give up the creature just in proportion as we have found out, or become experimentally acquainted with, the Creator. and no further. To attempt to give up the visible things in any other way save in the energy of that faith which lays hold of the invisible, is the most fruitless labor possible. It cannot be done. I will hold fast my Isaac until I have found my all in God. It is when we are enabled, by faith, to say, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble," that we can also add, "Therefoe we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea" (Ps 46:1-2). ... there is ready obediance. Faith never stops to look at circumstances, or ponder results; it only 'looks at God; it expresses itself thus: "But when it pleased God, who separated me form my mother's womb, and called me by His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I maight preach him among the gentiles, Immediatly I conferred not with flesh and blood" (Gal 1:15-16). The moment we confer with flesh and blood, our testimony and service are marred, for flesh and blood can never obey. We must rise early, and carry out, through grace, the divine command. Thus we are blessed, and God is glorified. Having God's own Word as the basis for our acting, will ever impart strength and stability to our acting. |

65 | A Study of John's Gospel. | John 1:1 | meusing | 43396 | ||
that is what I meant when I said read Romans 9-11. Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not follow after righteousness [who did not seek salvation by right relationship to God] have attained it by faith [a righteousness imputed by God, based on and produced by faith], Rom 9:31 Whereas Israel, though ever in pursuit of a law [for the securing] of righteousness (right standing with God), actually did not succeed in fulfilling the Law. [Isa. 51:1.] Rom 10:19 Again I ask, Did Israel not understand? [Did the Jews have no warning that the Gospel was to go forth to the Gentiles, to all the earth?] First, there is Moses who says, I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry. [Deut. 32:21.] Rom 10:20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, I have been found by those who did not seek Me; I have shown (revealed) Myself to those who did not [consciously] ask for Me. [Isa. 65:1.] Rom 10:21 But of Israel he says, All day long I have stretched out My hands to a people unyielding and disobedient and self-willed [to a faultfinding, contrary, and contradicting people]. [Isa. 65:2.] Rom 11:2 No, God has not rejected and disowned His people [whose destiny] He had marked out and appointed and foreknown from the beginning. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? [Ps. 94:14; I Kings 19.] Rom 11:28 From the point of view of the Gospel (good news), they [the Jews, at present] are enemies [of God], which is for your advantage and benefit. But from the point of view of God's choice (of election, of divine selection), they are still the beloved (dear to Him) for the sake of their forefathers. Rom 11:31 So they also now are being disobedient [when you are receiving mercy], that they in turn may one day, through the mercy you are enjoying, also receive mercy [that they may share the mercy which has been shown to you--through you as messengers of the Gospel to them]. |

All the verses say are that 'His own' (the Jews) did not recieve Him. A. T. Robertson explained ... Unto his own (eiß ta idia). Neuter plural, "unto his own things," the very idiom used in #John 19:27 when the Beloved Disciple took the mother of Jesus "to his own home." The world was "the own home" of the Logos who had made it. See also #John 16:32 Acts 21:6. They that were his own (oi idioi). In the narrower sense, "his intimates," "his own family," "his own friends" as in #John 13:1. Jesus later said that a prophet is not without honour save in his own country (#Mark 6:4 John 4:44), and the town of Nazareth where he lived rejected him (#Luke 4:28 Matthew 13:58). Probably here oi idioi means the Jewish people, the chosen people to whom Christ was sent first (#Matthew 15:24), but in a wider sense the whole world is included in oi idioi. Conder's The Hebrew Tragedy emphasizes the pathos of the situation that the house of Israel refused to welcome the Messiah when he did come, like a larger and sadder Enoch Arden experience. Received him not (auton ou parelabon). Second aorist active indicative of paralambanw, old verb to take to one's side, common verb to welcome, the very verb used by Jesus in #John 14:3 of the welcome to his Father's house. Cf. katelaben in verse 5. Israel slew the Heir (#Hebrews 1:2) when he came, like the wicked husbandmen (#Luke 20:14). They continue to be the apple of His eye, but they rejected their Messiah. read Romans 9-11. |

67 | we only barely get into heaven by Jesus | 1 John 5:11 | meusing | 43361 | ||
Yes, our faith is in God who Keeps His promises. as the hymn writer said ... From whence this fear and unbelief, If God, my Father, put to grief His spotless Son for me? Can He, the righteous Judge of men, Comdemn me for that debt of sin Which, Lord, was charged to Thee? Complete atonementThou hast made, And to the utmost farthing paid Whate'er Thy people owed ; How, then can wrath on me take place, If sheltered in God's righteousness And sprinkled by Thy blood ? If Thou hast my discharge procured, And freely in my place endured The whole of wrath divine ; Payment God will not twice demand, First at my bleeding Surety's hand, And then again at mine. Turn, then, my soul, unto thy rest; The merits of thy great High Priest Speak peace and libery ; Trust in His efficacious blood, Nor fear thy banishment from God, Since Jesus died for thee. ------------------- Faith fastens of Facts and feelings are forced to follow (L. E. Maxwell) and the facts faith focuses are the promises of God. |

70 | Bibilical support it applies to Israel | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 43350 | ||
Please forgive me, that is chapter 23. Sometimes my dysexia gets away from me. But i think my question is valid, why would a people who do not keep the Hebrew calender, who live on the northwest coast of British Columbia on Haida-Guai (the Queen Charlot Islands) keep the Passover or the feast of Tabernacles? the winds and rain would blow over any booth of branches. You are right that a vister has to keep the laws of the country he is in. when My brother first went to Saudi Arabia to work for ARAMCO, he had long hair. The first time that he drove a car in Saudi, he was pulled over, because he was mistaken for a woman because of his hair, and it is ilegal in Saudi for a woman to drive a car. |

72 | what is "god-spel" and "evangelium"? | John 3:16 | meusing | 43153 | ||
Easton's Bible dictionary has this for the word gospel ... a word of Anglo-Saxon origin, and meaning "God's spell", i.e., word of God, or rather, according to others, "good spell", i.e., good news. It is the rendering of the Greek _evangelion_, i.e., "good message." It denotes (1) "the welcome intelligence of salvation to man as preached by our Lord and his followers. (2.) It was afterwards transitively applied to each of the four histories of our Lord's life, published by those who are therefore called 'Evangelists', writers of the history of the gospel (the evangelion). (3.) The term is often used to express collectively the gospel doctrines; and 'preaching the gospel' is often used to include not only the proclaiming of the good tidings, but the teaching men how to avail themselves of the offer of salvation, the declaring of all the truths, precepts, promises, and threatenings of Christianity." It is termed "the gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24), "the gospel of the kingdom" (Matt. 4:23), "the gospel of Christ" (Rom. 1:16), "the gospel of peace (Eph. 6:15), "the glorious gospel," "the everlasting gospel," "the gospel of salvation" (Eph. 1:13). |

73 | why is he call Matthew and Levi? | Matthew | meusing | 43150 | ||
What do you mean "thank you but no thank you"? John Gill explined : "The other evangelists call him Levi, who was the son of Alphaeus: he went by two names; Mark and Luke call him by the name, which perhaps was the more honourable, or the least known, on purpose to conceal the former life of the apostle, which might expose him to the contempt of some; but he himself chooses to mention the name by which he was most known, as an apostle, and that the grace of God might appear the more illustrious in his calling and conversion. The Jews say that one of Christ's disciples was called (yatm) , Matthew, which, as Levi, is an Hebrew name; for though he was a publican, yet a Jew; for it was common with the Jews either to be employed by the Roman officers in collecting the toll or tribute, or to farm it of them.

74 | Mark 3:5 verus Matthew 5:22 | Mark 3:5 | meusing | 43149 | ||
Anger against wrong as wrong is a sign of moral health not sin. "there is an anger which is not sinful, is in God, in Christ, in the holy angels; and is commendable in the people of God, when it arises from a true zeal for religion, the glory of God, and the interest of Christ; and is kindled against sin, their own, or others, all manner of vice, false doctrine, and false worship" (Gill) about 'about cause' ... Adam Clarke said "Whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause] Æo orgizomenov-eikh, who is vainly incensed. "This translation is literal; and the very objectionable phrase, without a cause, is left out, eikh being more properly translated by that above." What our Lord seems here to prohibit, is not merely that miserable facility which some have of being angry at every trifle, continually taking offense against their best friends; but that anger which leads a man to commit outrages against another, thereby subjecting himself to that punishment which was to be inflicted on those who break the peace. eikh, vainly, or, as in the common translation, without a cause, is wanting in the famous Vatican MS. and two others, the Ethiopic, latter Arabic, Saxon, Vulgate, two copies of the old Itala, J. Martyr, Ptolomeus, Origen, Tertullian, and by all the ancient copies quoted by St. Jerome. It was probably a marginal gloss originally, which in process of time crept into the text." |

Jesus plainly said that some of those who were with Him there would see the Kingdom of God come in power and they did. they were in the upper room when the Spirit came with POWER, and John saw Jesus come into His Kingdom in POWER in Revelation before he died.

76 | Sin defined by gentiles? | Ex 20:2 | meusing | 43115 | ||
No, the children of Israel were cohsen by God to show Him to the Gentiles the 10 commandments were part of the covenant that God mad with the children of Israel. Rom 2:11 For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another]. [Deut. 10:17; II Chron. 19:7.] Rom 2:12 All who have sinned without the Law will also perish without [regard to] the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged and condemned by the Law. Rom 2:13 For it is not merely hearing the Law [read] that makes one righteous before God, but it is the doers of the Law who will be held guiltless and acquitted and justified. Rom 2:14 When Gentiles who have not the [divine] Law do instinctively what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, since they do not have the Law. Rom 2:15 They show that the essential requirements of the Law are written in their hearts and are operating there, with which their consciences (sense of right and wrong) also bear witness; and their [moral] decisions (their arguments of reason, their condemning or approving thoughts) will accuse or perhaps defend and excuse [them] |

Again, you twist the sayings of Immanuel to make them say what you want them to say. The two prophets were not with Jesus there. Jesus said "some standing here" he meant that some of those who were standing there with Him would not die util they saw the Kingdom of God come in power. Most of those who were there wer in the upper room when the Holy Ghost came in POWER; and John saw Jesus come in power in Revelation before he died. |

Now you are twisting tenses to make the Bible say what you want it to say. "are standing" does not equal "will be standing". It is interesting that A.T Robertson notes : ''Mark has "see the kingdom of God come" (eleluquian, perfect active participle, already come) and adds "with power."'' As we who are citizens of the Kingdom are living in the kingdom of God, did not this Kingdom come in power at Pentecost? |

80 | what does Easter mean | Acts 12:4 | meusing | 42890 | ||
here is an interstin article on Easter traditions of the early church : EASTER CUSTOMS In ancient Egypt and Persia friends exchanged decorated eggs at the spring equinox (they have always been symbols of creation, fertility and new-life) the beginning of the new year. These eggs were a symbol of fertility for them because the coming forth of a live creature from an egg was so surprising to people of ancient times. Christians of the Near East adopted this tradition, and the Easter egg became a religious symbol. It represented the tomb from which Jesus broke forth. They were often colored red to represent the blood of Christ by which all believers were given a share in this new life of Christ. In medieval times eggs were traditionally given at Easter to all servants, and to the children (it was one of the foods forbidden during Lent), along with other gifts. It seems that the custom of hiding the eggs is a universal one. Rabbits were also a pre-Christian fertility symbol. Often they were used as images of Christ's post-resurrection appearances. These appearances were likened to the rabbits being seen and then disappearing and then being seen again somewhere else. The first mention of the Easter Bunny and his eggs seems to have come from Germany in the late 1500's. In many sections of Germany, the belief was that the Easter bunny laid red eggs on Holy Thursday and multi-colored eggs the night before Easter Sunday. In early Christian art the lily is a symbol of purity because of its delicacy of form and its whiteness. They did not exist in North America until about 100 years ago. The white trumpet lily, which blooms naturally in springtime, was brought here from Bermuda. They are popularly called "Easter Lilies because they bloom around Easter time. The American public quickly made it a symbolic feature of the Easter celebration. Prayers for the blessing of lambs, a significant symbol of Christ, dates back to the 7th century. From the 9th century, the main feature of the Pope's Easter dinner was roast lamb. The ancient tradition of the Paschal lamb inspired the use of lamb as a popular Easter food among all the faithful. in Europe, small figures of a lamb made from butter, pastry, and sugar are popular. The butterfly is an ancient Easter symbol. Just as the butterfly which emerges from the cocoon is the same caterpillar in new form, so Jesus, emerging from the tomb is the same person - glorified. Easter water is blessed solemnly at the Easter Vigil. Families are encouraged to bring home a container of this holy water to be used at home for family blessings on persons, house, etc. Some families clean out their fire-places on Good Friday and do without a fire until they bring home coals from the New Fire blessed at the Easter Vigil. In many parts of the world people serve traditional breads and pastries at Easter like the Russian Easter bread (Paska - because it is made in the round and rises up), the German Easter loaves (Osterstollen), the Polish Easter cake (Baba Wielancona), etc. Very often these breads and pastries, together with meat and eggs, are blessed on Holy Saturday. An Italian custom is to make a simple sweet bread dough shaped in the form of a chick, bunny, or doll. These breads are baked with a whole egg placed in the "tummy" of the form and frosted with egg yolk. The whole family is involved in the making of these Easter breads. They are brought to the Easter Vigil to be blessed and are given as gifts on Easter Sunday to young friends and relatives. Early Christians customarily celebrated Easter Week as days of joy and laughter. They would tell jokes, play pranks, feast on lamb, dance, sing and express humor and joy over this "final joke" on the devil, death and evil. They would add fragrant oil or perfume to the Easter water they had brought home with them from church, as a reminder of the sacred chrism. This water was used to sprinkle and bless food, pets, gardens, homes and more. In some countries you could get soaked this week. Baptism was recalled with the custom of "dousing". On Easter Monday men wake women with a spritz of the perfumed Easter water while they whisper "May you never wither." On Easter Tuesday women wake men with a bucketful of the scented water. |
