Subject: what scripture is balderdash? |
Bible Note: Pauls attitude throughout Philippians and the other books he wrote is Jesus Christ is to be the focus of and reason for our lives and everything else has little value. In vs 6 he says Be careful for nothing: but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. In vs 19 he says God is our supply. Paul learned to be content in every situation to be abased and to abound, free or locked behind prison doors. Which is a lesson we all could learn. He also said I have fought the good fight run my course well and I am leaving this life behind. It is our responsibility to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and preach the gospel of Christ to the world. Deut 8:18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God for it is He that giveth thee the power to get wealth that He may establish His covenant, so we are expected to give God the glory and praise and further the spreading of His Word. 1 Chron 22:14 I have prepared for the house of the Lord 1 Chron29:3- I have of my own proper good.. I was giving the value in todays terms of finances. Matt 17:24-27, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him saying... cast a hook take up the first fish. It does not say the money wasn't available just that Jesus gave Peter a task to do. It also doesn't say Peter hesitated he said yes and went to get the money. Luke 9:51-62 Jesus set his face to Jerusalem, and sent messengers into a village of Samaritans to make ready for him and they did not receive him,his disciples say we will command fire from heaven to consume them and Jesus rebuked them. And they went to another village. So they were traveling and were not received. John 1:37-43 two disciples ask Jesus Rabbi Where dwellest thou? He said come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt and abode with him that day for it was about the tenth hour. Luke 2:5-6 Joseph went up from Galilee to Bethlehem to be taxed with Mary his wife. The reference to the time spent in Egypt was taken from Jesus approximate age when they left and the length of time that passed until Herods death. I was told it is in the Josephus commentary book but haven't found the exact reference. Even if it was 1 month could you afford such a trip? Throughout the New Testament there are references to Jesus travelling with groups of people and I give you these in support of what I said.Matt4:18-25,Matt8:1,23,Mark 1:38, John 11:7 and the 84 I took from Luke 10 vs 17 and the 70 returned again with joy. vs 23 and he turned unto his disciples and said. vs 38 now it came to as they went, and I said possibly 84. |
