Hi Matt, "just out of interest, what is your position in the church, and what church do you follow?" My Spirit given gift is "Helps". It is what I have been best at, and I accept that. In the corporate world the position would be called a floater. I go where they need me. You can learn more in my profile, click on my underlined screen name. 1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. terrib |

Hi Tim, Yes, "...as in heaven also upon earth." That phraseology has a better value to me. That is what the ASV has, "as in heaven, so on earth." Thanks, terrib |

Hi Matt, You wrote: "sometimes i sin, without realising it whether its my mouth that gives me trouble (swearing) or something i may do against the lord" Just by what you said in this post, you are realizing it! You are growing in the Lord. Look at the disciples, it took them three years to learn just a little about God, and still they were not all convinced. We all learn at different rates and by how much we are willing to let the Lord direct our lives. Jesus said: Joh 14:13 I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Joh 14:14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it. Joh 14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments. Joh 14:16 I will ask the Father to give you another Helper, to be with you always. Joh 14:17 He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, for it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you recognize him, for he abides with you and will be in you. So, in your devotions, ask, ask the Lord to help you. If we truly seek His ways, He will answer. And, you have probably heard it said that a baby must learn to crawl before he can walk. All things have their place and time. God has plenty of time but we are the ones that are on limited time, so keep pressing forward. And always acknowledge what He has done for you and thank Him. terrib |

Hi umagumadog, Thank you for being so honest about the pride thing. Not many would have admitted that. Stay honest before God and man; and there's nothing to forgive on this end, for as soon as I read your post, it was put behind me. Out of the abundance of all the good trees in this world we have to go for the bad one. What a difference in Adam's life had taken place. Abounding in the love and friendship of the Lord and then hiding himself from that love. And right away, sin takes a partner, unrepentance. For Adam tries to shift the blame to the woman and to God Himself. Gen 3:12 "...The woman whom thou gavest to be with me...". It is a good lesson to reflect on. Maybe you could write in your personal profile how you came to the Lord and a little about yourself. Knowing a bit about you can help everyone get to know you better and glory in our Lord. Gal 6:6 "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things." Stay in prayer and share everything with God, for He is our Teacher. Your brother, terrib |

Hi Doc, That is the point. Cherubims have wings Angels do not. They are different types of creatures. Scripture has always seperated them to their specific duty. I hope you're not getting an association from the word "angelic". terrib |

Hi Tim, I agree, Tim, that is why they are called commentaries. We will know when we get there. I believe it has been said not to chase after endless geneologies. Interesting though, isn't it? :-) Isn't God Great? Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come.

Hi Tim, Eze 28:11-19 1. What was the renown of the king of Tyre. He is here spoken of as having lived in great splendour, Eze 28:12-15. He as a man, but it is here owned that he was a very considerable man and one that made a mighty figure in his day. (1.) He far exceeded other men. He was looked upon to be as wise as the reason of men could make him, and as happy as the wealth of this world and the enjoyment of it could make him; in him you might see the utmost that both could do; and therefore seal up the sum, for nothing can be added; he is a complete man, perfect in suo genere - in his kind. (2.) He seemed to be as wise and happy as Adam in innocency (Eze 28:13): “Thou hast been in Eden, even in the garden of God; thou hast lived as it were in paradise all thy days, hast had a full enjoyment of every thing that is good for food or pleasant to the eyes, and an uncontroverted dominion over all about thee, as Adam had.” One instance of the magnificence of the king of Tyre is, that he outdid all others princes in jewels, which those have the greatest plenty of that trade most abroad, as he did: Every precious stone was his covering. There is a great variety of precious stones; but he had of every sort and in such plenty that besides what were treasured up in his cabinet, and were the ornaments of his crown, he had his clothes trimmed with them; they were his covering. Nay (Eze 28:14), he walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire, that is, these precious stones, which glittered and sparkled like fire. His rooms were in a manner set round with jewels, so that he walked in the midst of them, and then fancied himself as glorious as if, like God, he had been surrounded by so many angels, who are compared to a flame of fire. And, if he be such an admirer of precious stones as to think them as bright as angels, no wonder that he is such an admirer of himself as to think himself as great as God. Nine several sorts of previous stones are here named, which were all in the high priest's ephod. Perhaps they are particularly named because he, in his pride, used to speak particularly of them, and tell those about him, with a great deal of foolish pleasure, “This is such a precious stone, of such a value, and so and so are its virtues.” Thus is he upbraided with his vanity. Gold is mentioned last, as far inferior in value to those precious stones; and he used to speak of it accordingly. Another thing that made him think his palace a paradise was the curious music he had, the tabrets and pipes, hand-instruments and wind-instruments. The workmanship of these was extraordinary, and they were prepared for him on purpose; prepared in thee, the pronoun is feminine - in thee, O Tyre! or it denotes that the king was effeminate in doting on such things. They were prepared in the day he was created, that is, either born, or created king; they were made on purpose to celebrate the joys either of his birthday or of his coronation-day. These he prided himself much in, and would have all that came to see his palace take notice of them. (3.) He looked like an incarnate angel (Eze 28:14): Thou art the anointed cherub that covers or protects; that is, he looked upon himself as a guardian angel to his people, so bright, so strong, so faithful, appointed to this office and qualified for it. Anointed kings should be to their subjects as anointed cherubim, that cover them with the wings of their power; and, when they are such, God will own them. Their advancement was from him: I have set thee so. Some think, because mention was made of Eden, that it refers to the cherub set on the east of Eden to cover it, Gen 3:24. He thought himself as able to guard his city from all invaders as that angel was for his charge. Or it may refer to the cherubim in the most holy place, whose wings covered the ark; he thought himself as bright as one of them. (4.) He appeared in as much splendour as the high priest when he was clothed with his garments for glory and beauty: “Thou wast upon the holy mountain of God, as president of the temple built on that holy mountain; thou didst look as great, and with as much majesty and authority, as ever the high priest did when he walked in the temple, which was garnished with precious stones (2Ch 3:6), and had his habit on, which had precious stones both in the breast and on the shoulders; in that he seemed to walk in the midst of the stones of fire.” Thus glorious is the king of Tyre; at least he thinks himself so. - Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible - So from commentary to commentary we go. One about Satan and the other not. :-) 1Co 13:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly..." Red is gray and yellow white, But we decide which is right.

Hey Kalos, "'Answer: Cherubim / cherubs are angelic beings" : No, they are Cherubimic beings. Unless by the term "angelic" it is meant heavenly. "Prior to his rebellion Satan was a cherub (Ezekiel 28:12-15)." Eze 28:12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD;..." This is speaking of the king of Tyrus. Ezekiel 28:12-15 does not mention Satan. Come on Kalos, you know that is talking in a similtude. If we took that kind of allegory then God was a chicken for Scripture tell us : Psa 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Where in Scripture does it say angels have wings? Where in Scripture does it say Cherubims are angels? Your brother, terrib |

Greetings Born Twice, Thank you for your answer. And the near death experience is surely possible. And some say that Paul was actually dead, but if that were true it would follow that the Scriptures would expound on that assertion further. The consensus of the time 2 Cor was written is about 55-57 a.d. and if so, 14 years early would put the experience around 41-43 a.d. and this would coincide with Acts 22:17 when Paul was in Jerusalem at his second visit and in a trance: (Act 22:17) “And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;” And I do agree with you that paradise and the third heaven are one and the same. terrib |

Hi Janae, "That pouring out is the anointing. It comes when God decides to release it." That is not quite right. For anointing cannot come if we already have been anointed. And you cannot pray for the anointing if you already have the anointing. For the Scriptures tell us that we are God's anointed (we ARE already anointed). For as Moses (who was anointed) did not see the face of God, yet God passed His Glory in front of him and afterwards Moses had to wear a vail over his face because of the radiance (he had an experience). This was the Glory of the Lord not the anointing. Jesus said, Were two or more are gathered in My name, there I will be also. The Spirit that is in you which is the Spirit of Christ is bringing you into the Glory of the Lord. This is the presence that one experiences. As God has shown Himself as a Great Cloud of Glory in the Tabernacle to verify His presence, so the Lord verifies His presence by the closeness and the fulness of the Holy Spirit to His children. We do use the phrase "It is a pouring out" and this is a truism for it is a True Blessing. terrib This I speak and not of the Lord, but if the closeness of the Spirit were not limited we would be translated. |

Hi Doc, Yes, they used it for their toiletries and for their skin due to the arridness of the climate. Since these places are steeped in customs, I would imagine some places still use it just as we still use a gentle oil on babies although not olive oil. I had a mental picture of the oiliness of the parts of the Tabernacle and the sand and silt in the wilderness, it could be quite a mess. Like laying on the beach in the sand just after you put on sun-screen. terrib |

Hello Mommapbs, As always your grace shines through. The thanks goes to our Master mommapbs. A helper I am, as the Holy Spirit has bestowed on me. Yes, the need to encourage, after all the batting of Scripture about and all the he said she said few responses actually went to the person that asked the question, as usual. Maybe if we were all linguistically perfect we could solve this problem. One person's experience is not to take precedence over the other. As the Spirit works with each of us individually, so our experiences will be different than that of someone else’s. Does this make it wrong? Does this make the Word of God wrong? Are visions and dreams gone? Everybody went off on the subject of devotional prayer and the inquirer didn't say what kind of prayer. Would that be a little presumptuous? And someone’s experiences lead to a disaster of innuendoes and exclusion and admonitions. And, now, what did the inquirer get out of this? Mass Confusion! Are we here to seek our own righteousness or the uplifting of the brethren? For shame on the body of Christ for the constant bickering! It is my way or else! And Scola Scripturuim Sriptiticum Scriptactum El Craptum! And all these 64 dollar words that make one look important. Jesus spoke simple words so the simple things of the world could understand, but it was folly to the high-minded. Pardon me for being so blunt, but it just makes me sick. And if there are those that have a problem about it, take it up with the Lord and see what He says. Oh, I forgot, He doesn’t talk to His Children, sorry. terrib Should I change my name now or should I just start singing, Baa baa _ _ have you any wool? |

Hank, Thanks, we serve such a Wonderful God. How short the English language is. Even with all the words of the Bible our language does not come close to the majesty He deserves.
