In Heb.13:17 it says. Obey your leaders and submit to them. Who are these leaders, and should we blindly submit to them? What is our responsibility in the cases where there are clear abuses of power. Are they the same as found in 1 Pet. 2:13 ? 13.) Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14.) or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.

65 | and you will be like God | Gen 3:5 | Vintage68 | 216588 | ||
Hi John Yes John, thank you for the bible lesson, but doesn't it also say. Gen 2: 7, 15, 18 - 23 7.) And the LORD God formed ("MAN") (of the dust of the ground), (and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;) and (man became a living soul.) 15.) And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 18.) And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; (I will make him an help meet for him.) 19.) And (OUT OF THE GROUND the LORD God formed every beast of the field), and (every fowl of the air; and (brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them:) and (whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.) 20.) And (Adam gave names to all cattle), and (to the fowl of the air), and (to every beast of the field); (but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.) 21.) And (the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:) (and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;) 22.) (AND THE RIB), (which the LORD God had taken from man), (MADE HE A WOMAN, and (brought her unto the man.) 23.) (AND ADAM SAID), (THIS IS NOW BONE OF MY BONES), (AND FLESH OF MY FLESH:) (SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN), ((BECAUSE SHE WAS TAKEN OUT OF MAN.)) I have taken the liberty of adding the brackets for clarification. I have capitalized for emphasis of the words, so don't think I'm yelling. Man was created OUTSIDE the Garden, Woman, and everything else was created INSIDE the Garden I don't know if you noticed, but the beast of the field, and the fowls of the air, were all made from the ground, as Adam was. But Eve was made from the rib, that God took out of Adam. In looking back at verse 7 you will see, ("and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;and man became a living soul.") We don't see that taking place with Eve. Do we? Does it say she is a living soul also? I don't care to speculate on that question. Now as we all know, God is sovereign, so he can do anything he pleases on this earth can't he. I see she was taken out of MAN as the bible states, that makes her in the image OF MAN. Man was created for fellowship with God. Woman was created for fellowship with Man. You seem to be taking the scripture that is in Gen. 1:27 which seems to be the (General Accounting) as to the creation story, which by the way I am not disputing, "GOD CREATED MAN, AND WOMAN." But to take it a step further in Gen. 2 we see what could be called, the actual (Creation Process.) 1.) Who was created, 2) What was created, 3.) When were they created,4.) Where were they created 5.) Why were they created, 6.) How were they created. Vintage68 |

Hi Flinkywood As Doc has so aptly stated, "Such questions cannot be answered from Scripture." I therefore offer up to you this, my speculation on the matter. Satan starts the temptation of Eve with the statement. "You shall not surly die" that is the seed of DOUBT, doubting God at his word. People have been led into all kinds of sins by just doubting that God said - - DON'T. Eve saw the tree was good for food, and pleasant to the eyes. That was a DESIRE for something forbidden. People have an innate nature towards the forbidden. You might say Eve was created in the image of God, but she wasn't she was created in the image of "MAN". Haven't you ever asked yourself why did Satan tempt Eve, instead of Adam? Adam wasn't tempted, he just gave his authority to Eve, and ate. If Eve was PERFECT, then she could not have been tempted any more than Jesus was. Jesus "WAS" PERFECT and when he was tempted he overcame. Augustine, wasn't as perceptive as one might think, if he wasn't aware of the possibility for two other sins as a potential cause. So how can one definitively say it comes down to self-love to the point of contempt for God? Vintage68 |

Hi 561joshua01 This is the connection between Moses, Jesus, and baptism, and what that baptism is. Jesus is "our" mediator as Moses was for the people. "It is DRY" Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. Deuteronomy 18:15,16 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.

Hi brothersmith This message is not unique to this book. The same basic message was preached, to the other churches as well. From God through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, we gain the gifts spoken of, as God is longsuffering towards us, we are also to be clothed in them towards the brethren. Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Ephesians 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Colossians 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Vintage68 |

Hi brothersmith A prayer for the fulfillment of this attitude in the Romans. Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now may the God: The fact that Paul puts these words into the form of a prayer demonstrates that he recognizes that this is a work that the Holy Spirit must do inside us. The God of patience: Our God is a God of patience. We are often in so much of a hurry, and God often seems to work too slowly for us. Often the purposes of God seem to be delayed but they always are fulfilled. God's delays are not His denials, and He has a loving purpose in every delay. We love God's patience with His people we need Him to be patient with us! Yet we often resent God's patience with His plan we think He should hurry up. Nevertheless, God is patient both with His people and in His plan. That you may: The goal is to glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. We accomplish that goal by having one mind and one mouth - by unity in our thinking and speech.....David Guzik Here are some synonyms, - - continuance, dedication, determination, endurance Vintage68 |

Hi again Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Let every soul, Inasmuch as he so carefully handles this subject in connection with what forms the Christian life, it appears that he was constrained to do so by some great necessity which existed especially in that age, though the preaching of the gospel at all times renders this necessary. There are indeed always some tumultuous spirits who believe that the kingdom of Christ cannot be sufficiently elevated, unless all earthly powers be abolished, and that they cannot enjoy the liberty given by him, except they shake off every yoke of human subjection. This error, however, possessed the minds of the Jews above all others; for it seemed to them disgraceful that the offspring of Abraham, whose kingdom flourished before the Redeemer’s coming, should now, after his appearance, continue in submission to another power. There was also another thing which alienated the Jews no less than the Gentiles from their rulers, because they all not only hated piety, but also persecuted religion with the most hostile feelings. Hence it seemed unreasonable to acknowledge them for legitimate princes and rulers, who were attempting to take away the kingdom from Christ, the only Lord of heaven and earth. By these reasons, as it is probable, Paul was induced to establish, with greater care than usual, the authority of magistrates, and first he lays down a general precept, which briefly includes what he afterwards says: secondly, he subjoins an exposition and a proof of his precept. He calls them the higher powers, not the supreme, who possess the chief authority, but such as excel other men. Magistrates are then thus called with regard to their subjects, and not as compared with each other. And it seems indeed to me, that the Apostle intended by this word to take away the frivolous curiosity of men, who are wont often to inquire by what right they who rule have obtained their authority; but it ought to be enough for us, that they do rule; for they have not ascended by their own power into this high station, but have been placed there by the Lord’s hand. And by mentioning every soul, he removes every exception, lest any one should claim an immunity from the common duty of obedience. For there is no power, etc. The reason why we ought to be subject to magistrates is, because they are constituted by God’s ordination. For since it pleases God thus to govern the world, he who attempts to invert the order of God, and thus to resist God himself, despises his power; since to despise the providence of him who is the founder of civil power, is to carry on war with him. Understand further, that powers are from God, not as pestilence, and famine, and wars, and other visitations for sin, are said to be from him; but because he has appointed them for the legitimate and just government of the world. For though tyrannies and unjust exercise of power, as they are full of disorder, are not an ordained government; yet the right of government is ordained by God for the well being of mankind. As it is lawful to repel wars and to seek remedies for other evils, hence the Apostle commands us willingly and cheerfully to respect and honor the right and authority of magistrates, as useful to men: for the punishment which God inflicts on men for their sins, we cannot properly call ordinations, but they are the means which he designedly appoints for the preservation of legitimate order. ..... John Calvin All power (authority) is from God, the abuse of power is from what is evil in men, this is probably the reason why Paul does not set limits to the obedience required, we are to honor the position held, not necessarily the man holding it.

Hi brothersmith 1 Peter 2:12-16 12.) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 13.) Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14.) Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 15.) For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16.) As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. You are not to be disturbers of the peace; you Christian people are to cultivate the spirit of conciliation wherever you dwell, submitting yourselves, “for the Lord’s sake,” even to come things which you do not like. We are to obey kings, and governors, and magistrates, even when they may not be all that we wish them to be: “Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake:” — True Christians give no trouble in the State they are not law-breakers, but they strive to do that which is honest and upright. Where the laws are not righteous, they may cause trouble to bad law-givers and lawmakers; but when rulers ordain that which is just and righteous, they find that Christians are their best subjects. In Peter’s day, the king was a poor creature, and something worse than that. Indeed, I might say of the bulk of the Emperors of Rome, who were the chief “kings” of that day, that they were monsters of iniquity; yet the office was to be respected even when the man who occupied it could not be much more should it be respected when the occupant is what a true “king” should be. Ignorance, you see, is a noisy thing. An empty drum makes a loud noise when it is beaten; and empty men, like empty vessels, often make the most sound. How then are we to silence this noisy ignorance? By argument? No, for it is not amenable to argument. Ignorance is to be silenced “by well doing.” Holy living is the best reply to infidel talking. Free in yourselves, free in your conscience, free in your mind and heart. .....C.H.Spurgeon Vintage68 |

75 | explain baptism into moses | Bible general Archive 4 | Vintage68 | 216390 | ||
Hi 561joshua01 Prototype of baptism in the Old Covenant The things which we have said, both of mortification and ablution, were adumbrated among the people of Israel, who, for that reason, are described by the apostle as having been baptised in the cloud and in the sea, (1 Cor. 10: 2.) Mortification was figured when the Lord, vindicating them from the hand of Pharaoh and from cruel bondage, paved a way for them through the Red Sea, and drowned Pharaoh himself and their Egyptian foes, who were pressing close behind, and threatening them with destruction. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. Exod 14:13 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exod 14:14 God would save them but Moses believed a version of FAITH ONLY which Calvin calls fanaticism. On the other hand, when God has provided the MEANS and we reject His counsel then He will not give what we could never provide. And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: Exod 14:15 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. Exod 14:16 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. Exod 14:17 For in this way also he promises us in baptism, and shows by a given sign that we are led by his might, and delivered from the captivity of Egypt, that is, from the bondage of sin, that our Pharaoh is drowned; in other words, the devil, although he ceases not to try and harass us. But as that Egyptian was not plunged into the depth of the sea, but cast out upon the shore, still alarmed the Israelites by the terror of his look, though he could not hurt them, so our enemy still threatens, shows his arms and is felt, but cannot conquer. The cloud was a symbol of purification, (Num. 9: 18.) For as the Lord then covered them by an opposite cloud, and kept them cool, that they might not faint or pine away under the burning rays of the sun; so in baptism we perceive that we are covered and protected by the blood of Christ, lest the wrath of God, which is truly an intolerable flame, should lie upon us. The CLOUD literally covered them even though it was an OUTWARD SIGN of God Who gave it! Although the mystery was then obscure, and known to few, yet as there is no other method of obtaining salvation than in those two graces, God was pleased that the ancient fathers, whom he had adopted as heirs, should be furnished with both badges. (We are not by the rite of baptism set free from original sin, but by it we make confession of faith before men, 10-13) [Baptism does not free one from the propensity to sin.].........John Calvin Vintage68 |

Hi John With the question being: "Do you think there are any churches that are the most like the early church of Jerusalem?" Do you really think a Messianic Fellowship would not have more of a chance to be closer in it's worship services, to what would have been in Jerusalem as the first church, seeing that it was, a Jewish Messianic fellowship itself, rather than the regular denominational churches of today? We, the churches of today, follow more of the Paulene pattern of worship don't we? These churches were almost devoid of Jews, with the exception of the Judaizers, that only came to disrupt. When all that is being talked about is appearance, mode of operation, not doctrinal differences. But you are right, "Otherwise we would just fallow the pattern and be far too comfortable, not ever taking a close look at the heart of the matter of our worship." We wouldn't want that to happen.
