to the question about my belief on Speaking In Tongues, which I do believe in,
but I believe that speaking tongues is when the Holy Spirit bridges language
barriers. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 115%;">A good starting point is Acts 2:1-18, but remember, the main
point of the book of Acts was to tell us not only what happened after Jesus
ascended, but the story of the early church & how the church grew.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Genesis 11:1-9 depicts where humans went from
all speaking 1 language (or tongue) to language barriers that God
constructed. Do you see that this is the origin of "unknown
tongues"? </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Well, Acts chapter 2 gives us the 1st time our God
returned to those language barriers, & the Holy Spirit bridged
communication through people of various tongues. But was the main purpose
for bridging </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">these language barriers so people could...</span><br />
<br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">a) edify themselves?</span><br />
<br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">b) spread God's Words?</span><br />
<br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Well, the answer is to spread God’s Words, but it
may be hard to see my point until it's clear that 1 Corinthians 14:22 is all
about others. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">If you can’t see the warning against
speaking “unknown” tongues while promoting Speaking In </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Tongues, let’s read 1 Corinthians 14
immediately. Notice verse 19 opposes speaking without
understanding, but do you make the connection between Prophecy & Speaking T</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">ongues.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">See 1 Corinthians 14:5. Should we see
to edify one's self? Paul clearly says, “Seek to</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">edify the church", so see verses 5, 12,
& 26.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">It is impossible to convince me about diet
because I had a personal experience that is consistent with what I see in
Scripture. In the spring of 2000, I was working out 3-4 times daily,
& began to notice how each meal affected my workouts. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">I could go on, but basically, pig gave me headache, & shrimp made me
sluggish. Combine that personal experience with Bible verses that support
my disdain for swine, & you see why I can’t be persuaded on the topic of
clean/unclean meat.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Likewise, with Tongues, did you experience a
sensation that can't be forgotten? I urge you to follow God’s Word, even
more than the sensations from your senses. Marriage rates prove how many
are fooled by what they hear, see, & feel, but God’s Word is clear on what
marriage is all about. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Anyway, in the context of Paul’s writings, God is
“not the author of confusion”, & edifying self is spoken of negatively. If
that is not enough, my diet experience is consistent with Scripture, but most
people's "experience" with tongues is not. But what does
Scripture say?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">"In the law it is written, With men of
other tongues and other lips will I speak unto</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">this people; and yet for all that will they not
hear me, saith the Lord."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Meaning, I hear people say they're speaking to
God in tongues that sound like</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">jibberish, & they try to use 1 Corinthians
14:3 to justify it, but after reading verse 21-22:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">1 - it is about God speaking, not you</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">2 - it is about speaking to this people, not God</span><br />

Well, the answer is no because </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">the only signs listed are:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">1 - Prophesying</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">2 - Speaking in Tongues<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">…both are only stated in verse 22 of 1
Corinthians 14.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Imagine someone over-zealous of spiritual gifts
starts speaking Galilaen to you, they</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">would be speaking "unknown" tongue
(unless you speak Galilaen). Speaking an "unknown" </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">tongue couldn’t have been spoken in Acts 2,
unless it was understood only by Galilaen speakers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Now, I believe that those who equate
incomprehensible utterances with "unknown" might not </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">understand the fullness of my angle here. Pray
for focus! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">In ancient Greece, the priestess of the oracle
at Delphi would voice utterances under the influence of intoxicating gases,
while a Delphi priest perpetrated as her interpreter. Meaning, the Bible speaks
of tongues, prophecy, and “unknown” tongues, but incomprehensible utterances
originated outside of the Bible.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The temple at Delphi was for worship of the
sun-god Apollo, & even though Rome defeated Greece, they assumed many Greek
religious practices. Rome eventually adopted some Biblical practices too,
& in the confusion, gods became saints, Sabbath became sun-day, &
glossolalia became tongues....both known and unknown.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Meaning, Incomprehensible utterances fail to
qualify as “unknown” tongue let alone speaking in tongues. A tongue is a
language, & Speaking in tongues is a gift of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians
12.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH or False – 1 Corinthians 12 lists
“unknown" tongues as a gift of the spirit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">False! I easily find speaking in tongues,
diversities of tongues, and speaking with tongues, but I </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">can't find the word "unknown" in the
whole entire chapter. Among the gifts of the Spirit, 1 Corinthians </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">12 lists:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">1) divers</span><br />

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">4) do</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">all speak with tongues?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">It does NOT list:</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH or False – Outside of 1 Corinthians 14,
“unknown” tongues will not appear in the whole entire </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Bible.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH - There is no reason to doubt that every
single witness of Paul and Peter’s ministry understood the language every time
the Spirit spoke in, with, or through Tongues.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH or False – “Unknown” tongues were never
spoken in the whole entire Book of Acts. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH - See Biblegateway.com & do search the
word "tongues" for yourself. Again por</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">ejemplo, that's 2 words in an unknown
tongue to anyone that doesn't know Spanish. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH or False – Everyone understood the
language being spoken in Acts 2. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">I don’t know every language, & I don’t want
to know every tongue, but wherein I was born, “every” means every, & TRUTH
is in Acts 2:38, “…how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we where
born?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">I heard there is reference to a “personal
prayer language” in the Bible. I try to find the reason for and purpose
of speaking in tongues, because God gives the reason & purpose for
everything in His Word.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">I read the context where “unknown" tongues
are mentioned as if someone who hears “unknown” tongues knows what He is
speaking, and someone else does not.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">I know that even when “unknown” tongues are
mentioned, somebody, at least two</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">people are around each other.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">What I don't see (and feel free to show me)
is...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">- your "personal prayer life"(?)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">- a "personal prayer language"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">- a text that promote tongues without
1 listener who comprehends the speaker</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH or False - Jesus Himself connects speaking
in tongues to preaching.</span><br /><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH - And He said unto them,"Go ye into
all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believes and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">damned. And these signs shall follow them that
believe; In My name shall they</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">- "Glossolalia” is babbling
incomprehensible utterances & unintelligible jibberish never even
hinted to....in the whole entire Original King James Bible! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">- Speaking in tongues - communication that the
Holy Spirit interprets from the language of the speaker into the language of
the listener<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">- "Unknown“ is a language that foreigners
no comprende, no hablamos, no entiendos, no</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">mas y no menos (more or less).</span><br />
<br /><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH or False – Paul readily admits speaking
tongues, but notice, he never once even hints that he </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">speaks in “unknown” tongues.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">TRUTH - Re-read 1 Corinthians 12 & 14, &
think about how wrong it is that "Christian churches" </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">teach the Holy Spirit urges incomprehensible
utterances, & worse...that it is impossible to be saved without speaking in
tongues?!? That is not Biblical.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Acts 13:9, says that Paul was filled with the
Holy Ghost, but there is no mention of Tongues. Matter of fact, Acts
gives eighteen (18) stories about the Holy Ghost, but tongues are mentioned in
only three (3) of those stories! Let me know if you want to see the list. </span></span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Answer:</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <b>A.</b> The <i>altar
of burnt offerings</i> where animals were sacrificed was located in the
courtyard, just inside its entrance (</span><a href="http://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Exodus%2027.1-8" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Exodus 27:1-8</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">). This
altar represented the cross of Christ. The animal represented Jesus, the
ultimate sacrifice (</span><a href="http://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/John%201.29" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">John 1:29</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

offering a sacrifice or entering the sanctuary (</span><a href="http://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Exodus%2030.17-21" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Exodus 30:17-21</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><a href="http://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Exodus%2038.8" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">38:8</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">).

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The ark
of the covenant, the only piece of furniture in the most holy place (Exodus
25:10-22), was a box or chest of acacia wood overlaid with gold. The Ten
Commandments were inside the ark (Deuteronomy 10:4, 5). Standing atop the chest
were two angels made of solid gold. Between these angels was the mercy seat
(Exodus 25:17-22), where the supernatural presence of God dwelt. This
symbolized God's throne in heaven, which is likewise located between two angels
(Psalms 80:1).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">John 6:43 – Should we just <i>believe</i>?
…or <u>believe</u> <u>in</u> <u>Jesus</u>. Be careful
that your Bible doesn’t make it possible to believe in only yourself. You can’t even keep a promise to yourself (to stop sinning or keep a Bible study).
Only God's promises are sure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Today’s Bibles all come from
copies of ancient manuscripts, meaning, there is not 1 original manuscript
today. The </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tectus Receptus</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, meaning "Greek Received Texts", give the most reliable collection of copies because it is
built on Matthew 18:16. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meaning, a thing may be established at the
mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses, & the Word Himself, Jesus supported that idea. Deuteronomy
17:6 and 19:15 give the 2 other witnesses by the way, but the context is about "how to
establish truth". Let’s check a few Bible
verses that I researched using Biblegateway.com to show why the King James Version
is more than just a preference.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Revelation 13:8 – Jesus was sent to be slain by a plan that was made before Earth even existed, but most Bibles twist this verse away from the pre-existence of Jesus (because that would make Him God). </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See all except NIV.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ephesians 3:9 – Avoid Bibles that resist that Jesus is truly had a hand
in creation, because the Creator is the synonymous with God. Compare & contrast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proverbs 8:22 – Watch out for Bibles that try to make Jesus a created
man & not the Creator, especially footnotes in the margin <i>(in italics). </i>See all except NASB.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Job 19:26 – The hidden agenda is to reject the idea of resurrection of the dead, so instead of Job seeing God in his flesh, it is italicized in the
margin to create doubt…as if Job will be a ghost when he sees God. (sigh)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">John 9:4 - The hidden agenda is the idea that Jesus was not sent from
God to work for us, & since we are 1 with the Universe, we can work on our
own behalf....saved by our own works. Sneaky.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">John 5:39 - The hidden agenda undermine the authority in Jesus' ability to command...to a simple statement about what they already do. Smh.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 100%;">I count all things but
loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I
have suffered the loss of all things, & do count them but dung, that I may
win Christ, & be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is
of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness
which is of God by faith..." - Philippians 3:8-11</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Jesus is the answer to the "Law of Sin & Death" because He was able to do-right (righteousness) which makes Him worthy to live (eternally). How do we get God's
righteousness? See Romans 3:22 to find that the answer is faith <u>of</u> (not just in) Jesus. What
was Jesus' job? Hebrews 9:15; 2:9-18; 4:15 say He was tempted as we are, but
why? Well, succour means to "assist", & Jesus assisted us by
fully filling & accomplishing perfection & victory. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Jesus had victory
over all the 3 types of temptation:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">1 - The Lust Of The Flesh </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 100%;">is a craving for a sensation </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 100%;">which feeds our addiction to things like gluttony over fasting,
laziness over labor, fornication over abstinence. More than that, these choices
are made only in the interest of self satisfaction, even if the choice
overrules God’s commands.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">2 - The Lust Of The Eyes is the desire for
objects. We prefer things that look good over things
that don’t. The lust of the eyes has led to many over-valued items like jewelry,
fashion, tattoos, cars, & houses. This lust is coveting, & has led to
the success of MTV Cribs, Real Housewives, Desperate Housewives, Pimp My Ride,
& is also is why home loans take advantage of so many.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">3 - The Pride of life is
the desire for supremacy, power, clout, control, & command. Simply put, we
don’t want to take orders from anybody, & we want to do things when we feel
like it, & when we do it, we want to do it our own way. And if we do
something wrong, we don’t want to be corrected, instead, we only want to hear
what we did right…even if others have to stretch the truth to make up something
good to say. Also, this is why we would rather watch TV than have Bible study,
& why we are quicker to cuss people out than pray for them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Basically, lustful pride
leads us to exalt our selfish will over God’s Will. See 1 John 2:16 & Genesis 3:6, but what
texts show <u>how</u> <u>much</u> Jesus was tempted? Matthew 4:1-10 prove Jesus was tempted
with everything:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">1 - Jesus fasted 40
days...how hungry would you be? Can you even imagine how tempting it was to get
Himself some bread?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">2 - How tempting was it
to take all the power of the world, knowing how many fine women do anything for
a wealth, security, power...or just nice gifts? We use our shortcomings to
manipulate enough as is, so how much more tempted would you be if you were the
only begotten Son of God?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">3 - How tempting would
it be to escape from the plan of Salvation knowing that the plan was for Him to
die, but not only die, but die brutally…while having the ability to save Himself?
How tempting would it be to give in to a change of plans?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Jesus answered the "Law of Sin & Death" by submitting to the Holy Spirit from His baptism at Luke 3:22, & is a role model for us in how to die in the Lord, die to self, & beat sin. In beating sin, death is also defeated, that's why Jesus was Resurrected, & we see how Jesus let the Holy Spirit empower Him in Romans 8:11. For more see Hebrews
5:8-9, but you should be starting to see how big words like "God's
righteousness" play a part in answering the Law of Sin & Death. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Jesus is the answer to "The Law of Sin & Death, & it
should make sense now when we read Romans 8:2-3. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 100%;">Clearly, Jesus is the
remedy to the Law, but how is the Law “weak through sinful flesh”? Romans 8:7,
enmity is opposition, hostility, rivalry & resistance, & we are born
preoccupied with being at war with what God wants us to do. Clearly, Jesus had a role in answering the "Law", but did the Holy Spirit have a role as well?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As we transition into the role of the Holy Spirit, see Exodus 19:3-8, & notice the people did <u style="font-weight: normal;">not</u> promise “we will do” by
God’s power, God’s Will, or anything about God. Hebrews 8:6,10 where God
promises what He will do, as He says, “I will make…I will put…I will
write…& I will be…”, meaning God made a Way to assist us with keeping His
commands. Read 1 Corinthians 15:56-58; Romans 8:9,11; John 14:10-17. (cont.'d)</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TRUTH or False - The Law in context of the "schoolmaster" text is found in the 10 Commandments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">False! See</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Galatians 3:23, & then verse 12 knowing that this law never appears in the 10 Commandments. SO which law was our schoolmaster? Well, the "law of works" is the easy answer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TRUTH or False - The Law in context of the "law for righteousness" text is found in the 10 Commandments.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">False again. See Romans 10:4, & then verse 5 knowing that this law never appears in the 10 Commandments either.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TRUTH
or False - The Law being referred to in the phrase "Under the Law" is
found in the 10 Commandments.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">False!
See Exodus 20:3-17. What does this mean
to you? It means most Christians, even non-Christians have been lied to. If God
commands us to do something, and we do not do it, what is that called? 1 John
3:4; 5:17 give a compete definition of sin that includes unrighteousness and transgression
of the law.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is
unrighteousness? Wrong-doing is the easy
answer, meaning righteousness is right-doing (or doing right). God’s righteousness is made available in Jesus
Christ. Jesus replaces our wrong-doing with His right-doing. What did Jesus do,
and how is it different from what the majority are doing? Romans 10:3-5<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TRUTH
or False – "Do & live" was this "schoolmaster" law of Galatians 3:12, the "law for righteousness" of Romans 10:5, & is originally in Leviticus 18:5. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TRUTH –
The problem was that this is a works-based law. God made all that Jesus "did
right" available to us by faith. So, the correct kind of faith results in actions that align with the works that Jesus did, meaning we should do (what He did) & live (as He lived).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a huge difference between the way to Live Eternally by faith in God's power to do His will
in us & through us....& the way to Live Eternally was by our own effort to do God's will,
without God's Help. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">God says, "I
regarded them not" in Hebrews 8:9-10.
Jesus' covers the sins before His Resurrection in Hebrews 9:15. Meaning, before & after, we're covered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The “Law of Sin &
Death” is mainly about 2 words, "live", (as in Live Eternally). The other word is "do", meaning, do what God wants (which impossible
without God’s help).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think, if we <u>do</u>, we <u>live</u> but, if we do not (or sin), then we see death. That's why it’s called the Law of Sin & Death. We
will sin (all have sinned), & Romans 6:23 states that the result of sin is
death. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Genesis 26:5 states that
Abraham was obedient to God’s Laws, & this was hundreds of years before the
genesis of our faith was formed into a religion given to Moses. But Abraham
isn’t considered righteous just because he kept the Law…is he? Genesis 15:6
depicts the model example of righteousness “by faith“.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, Abram (later
Abraham) made the 1st & most important step, to decide to submit to God
from a circumcised heart. This proves that what counts to God is a made up
mind, which is faith, then later, we see Abram's faith by what he agreed to do
(which is works).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Abram's decision (faith)
is recognized by God as an action (works), meaning, in this case, all Abram had
to do was believe. Righteousness is “to do right”, & the substance in
Abraham’s heart, was a mark, a sign, & a seal of doing-right, even while
all Abram did, was in his mind..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think of your decision
to get baptized in a similar way, & read Romans 4:11,16; 2:29, 26, 28-29.
The physical evidence of Abraham’s faith was shown after God had already
recognized his Spiritual circumcision in Genesis 17:23.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meaning, before we “do”
anything, God gives us credit based on our thoughts & decisions. What
does this mean to you? Well, as far as salvation goes, God judges what we decide to do before any visible actions occur.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">God is all knowing, He can read our minds & know if we are sincerely committed. For more, research Hebrews 8:10;
Romans 4:2-5,20-25. Who was “delivered for our offences”? See Hebrews 9:13-15, to find
who covered our offences, transgressions, or sins (since we are studying Sin
& Death). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, we can form some conclusions about the "Law of Sin & Death". Now see how the Spirit makes us reflect the perfect image of our Lord Jesus in 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 & Galatians 2:20. We also know the "law" (in context) is not limited to the 10 Commandments, but is about do-ing to live eternally by Leviticus 18:5. You should be able to explain Galatians 3:21-25 now.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<u style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">First Day Gathering</u><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> - </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">TRUTH or False - The disciple met on the Sunday because they were celebrating Jesus' Resurrection.<br /><br />False - Mark 16:14 says, "<span style="background-color: white;">they believed not them which had seen Him after He was risen." </span>Why did the disciples meet on the first day in John 20:19? Answer: "For fear of the Jews". Why fear the Jews? John 9:18-23; 11:47-48; 12:42-43; Matthew 27:62-66; Acts 8:1; 9:1, 21. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u>Collection</u> - <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">TRUTH or False - 1 Corinthians 16:2 supports Sunday over Sabbath because the "collection for the saints" is the same as tithes?</span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 18px;">False! See 2 Corinthians 9:5 (bounty/ministry for the saints) & note the difference between giving from your "bounty" (excess that you do not need), & tithing from "increase" (your regular paycheck). <br /><br />Also see 1 Cor. 16:1-2; Acts 2:44-45; 11:29; Rom 15:25-27, but tithes fund the church's bills/supplies while you give your "bounty" to the needy.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><u>Bread</u> - Does breaking bread always mean Communion
Service? Revisit Acts 2:44-47 </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">"meat" & "bread".</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In Acts 27:33-38, "meat" = "bread" (wheat). Lamentations 1:11; Ezekiel 16:19; Amos 8:11. Anyway, the answer is no.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><u>Communion</u> - What does
Communion symbolize? See 1 Cor. 11:17-26, but you tell me the difference in
eating because you're hungry (v.21), drinking to get drunk...& the answer
(which is Jesus' Death).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><u>Resurrection</u> – Sunday Worship
& Easter are traditionally linked to Jesus' Resurrection, but see 1 Peter 3:21; Col. 2:12; & Romans 6:4-5. How do we Biblically observe the Resurrection? The answer is Baptism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Remnant</span></u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> - Revelation 12:17 is the rest that
remains after a part no longer exists; the rest that is left after other parts
have been taken away; the part that stays the same/remains in a certain state;
a support on which things can be put...or <u>the</u> <u>rest</u><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">God’s</span></u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> <u>Rest</u> – In Matthew 11:28 Jesus
promises rest. In Mark 2:28, Jesus is
Lord of the Sabbath. Exodus 20:10, 7<span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span> day is Sabbath of…the Lord thy God. See "disobedience",
"unbelief", & "hardened hearts" from Hebrews 3 to
Hebrews 4:11, but Isaiah 66:23 proves that the 7th Day Sabbath is forever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Just</span></u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> <u>For</u> <u>Jews</u> - Romans 2:29
defines a Jew is not one by physical birth, but Spiritual re-birth, meaning,
God's people are Spiritual Jews. If
that's not enough, by Hebrews 8:10, the whole entire New Covenant is <u>only</u> to
the House of Israel...& the Covenant promises God writing His Law in our hearts.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">And if <u>that's</u> not enough, Exodus 20:10 includes thy "stranger"in obeying the 4th Commandment. Isaiah 56:1-6 defines "strangers" as not visitors but Non-Jews who join themselves to God, and keep the Sabbath.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">TRUTH
or False</span></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> - Colossians
2:14-17 include the 7th Day Sabbath in context, & was blotted out & nailed
to Jesus' cross.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">By 2 Chronicles 35:12,
we know that the 7th Day Sabbath was not blotted out nailed to Jesus'
cross. How? Well, because only sabbaths that commanded
sacrifice & offering were shadows of Jesus' body. So, the answer to our TRUTH or False question
is...False!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Handwriting</span></u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> - In Deuteronomy 4:13 & 9:10, the
Law of God was written with the finger of God on stone tables. In Deuteronomy 31:9, 24
& 26, the Law of Moses was written in by the hand of Moses in book pages. Meaning, <u>in</u> <u>context</u>, the
handwriting of Moses cannot include the 7<span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span> Day Sabbath or any of
the 10 Commandments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Contrary/Against Us</span></u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> - The Law of Moses "penalized us", was contrary or against us for sinning or breaking the 10 Commandments. All penalties were paid for by Christ, & nailed to His cross. Compare Deuteronomy 31:9, 24, 26 &
Colossians 2:14-17 for the context. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Briefly</span></u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> <u>Comprehended </u>- Ever heard
"Love your neighbor as yourself"?
Romans 13:9 does <u>not</u> say that this phrase <u>replaces</u> the 10
Commandments. Only the last 6 of 10
Commandments are "briefly comprehended" (or summarized) in love for one another. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Notice, Scripture never
says love your <i><u>neighbor</u></i> with
all your heart…nor love your <i>neighbor</i>
<i><u>as</u> <u>God.</u></i> We must
comprehend the context of what is briefly comprehended, & if that’s not
enough, Revelation 22:14 clearly proves that the 10 Commandments apply forever.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<u style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Fulfill</u><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> - to meet the required expectations or expected requirements (does not mean <i>"to do away"</i>). "Fulfill" appears 84 times in the KJV Bible. Visit these verses (& the dictionary) at - </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=fulfill&qs_version=KJV">http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=fulfill&qs_version=KJV</a>. Then the context of the word "fulfill" will be clear in context...& by definition. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Notice, Luke 24:44-46, Jesus points out things that foreshadowed that He would "suffer" & "rise". Meaning, Jesus fulfilled every-thing & every-day connected to offering & sacrifice. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But what about the prophecies in our future? A prophecy that hasn't happened yet is not fulfilled...by definition. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, this should help rightly divide truth between what Jesus fulfilled, & what remains relevant enough to prioritize & remember. In Matthew 5:17-18, nothing will pass from the 10 Commandments (in context) until Heaven & Earth pass away. Well, Revelation 20:11 is the moment where Heaven & Earth pass away. Not only does </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Revelation 21:1 prove </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">it's in the <u>future</u>, but Isaiah 66:23 proves the Sabbath as the worship time in the New Heaven & New Earth.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 100%;">Let's get a basic understanding of Colossians 2:16-17 by studying Leviticus 23. How was Jesus' body foreshadowed? Well, the answer is offering. Which Sabbaths involved offering? Well, only the 7th Day Sabbath did not. Careful study of all Sabbaths should put the New Testament in context on the topic of Sabbath</span><span style="font-size: 100%;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /><u>Passover</u> - 14th day of the 1st month; symbol of the offering at </span>Jesus' rest (in death)<span style="font-size: 100%;"> in Exodus 12:2,5,6 & Leviticus 23:5<br /><br /><u>Unleavens</u> - 14th-21st day of the 1st month; symbol of the offering of Jesus (the sacrifice of His body) Exodus 12:18; Leviticus 23:6-8;18-20<br /><br /><u>First Fruits</u> - 16th day of the 1st month; for a symbol of the offering at Jesus' resurrection see Leviticus 23:10-14; compare the meat & drink offering of Lev. 23:13 to Colossians 2:16. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Numbers 18:12-16; 28:31; Nehemiah 10:29-37 & </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Joshua 5:10-14 depict these 3 days in a row</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">*Note - For more research on this 3 day supernatural prophecy see </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">Genesis 1:5 & Matthew 26:20. Then research Luke 13:32-33; 18:31-34; John 13:1-7,18;18:39; Luke 22:1,7,15-18; 24:27, 44-46 to see the fulfillment of this 3 day miracle!</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br />The Resurrection Day is the
First Fruits, & since it was a Sunday, then the 15th was the 7th Day
Sabbath, & the 14th was Friday...& the Passover...& the Day of
Preparation for the 7th Day Sabbath.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<u>Weeks/Pentecost </u>- 7 Sabbaths (50 days) after First Fruits; for a symbol of the offering of Jesus see Leviticus 23:15-22; Deuteronomy 16:9,10 &16...compare the meat & drink offering of Lev. 23:18 to Colossians 2:16<br />
<br />
<u>Trumpets</u> - 1st day of the 7th month; for a symbol of the offering of Jesus see Leviticus 23:24-25<br />
<br />
<u>Atonement</u> - 10th day of the 7th month; for a symbol of the offering of Jesus see Leviticus 23:27-32<br />
<br />
<u>Shelters/Tabernacles</u> - 15 day of the 7th month; for a symbol of the offering of Jesus see Leviticus 23:34-42; compare the meat & drink offering of Lev. 23:37 to Colossians 2:16<br />
<br />
Do all offerings symbolize Jesus? Well, yes, but not <b><i>all</i></b> Sabbaths involved offering.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><b><br />*</b></span> Note - See Leviticus 23:4, "...in their seasons", meaning these sabbath days were once a year. Now, were they a symbol of the offering of Jesus? Yes, but was the <b>7th Day Sabbath</b>? NO! The <b>7th Day Sabbath</b> was about 52 times a year, & was never a symbol of the offering of Jesus. </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><b>The 7th Day Sabbath</b> -
see Exodus 20:8-11 & Leviticus 23:3....do you see the word offering
even mentioned at all? So, Colossians 2:16 applies to those symbolic,

<span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 100%;">The really obvious part of Sabbath is to remember to observe it out of obedience to The Faith. </span><span style="font-size: 100%;">This also foreshadows rest in Heaven, but Hebrews 3 repeatedly warns against disobedience, unbelief, & hardened hearts.

Actually, few people let Jesus govern their life, & fewer choose to represent Jesus for the world they live in. A Disciple, meaning "learner" is rare these days, & since most so called "Christians" don't study, they misrepresent "the Word". Apostle, meaning, teacher/representative, is a mature Believer (aka "Saint") who has a personal ministry for teaching in & out of church.<br />
<br />
Meaning, Apostles are more likely to hold themselves to a higher standard. Why? Our lives go under a microscope once we start to minister to people, & this makes apostles push more often to be trustworthy...it's a simple word called "accountability". My research has led me to believe that the ideal spouse has graduated by moving up the following steps:<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Savior - Here people realize that Jesus is the only way to escape sin, death, & more importantly to them...get to Heaven. They are only interested in being saved at this stage though. The term "Justification" is a Bible term for phase 1. A person who is justified is considered "not guilty" by God's judgment. Clear? I hope so, & I hope that we trust that only God can judge how long we get before we move to the next phase of "Sanctification", where a disciple develops & learns to make God Lord.<br />
<br />
<br />
2) Disciple - Jesus was baptized at 30, *the official age of a rabbi, and His disciples <span style="font-style: italic;">sat at His foot</span> so to speak, to learn the rules (better known as commandments). *FYI, the Bible covers Jesus' 1st years, then skips to age 12, and skips again to His years of ministry from age 30 and on. Why? Simple. His birth fulfilled Bible prophecy, then age 12, Jesus Himself began to <span style="font-style: italic;">learn at the foot of the rabbi</span>. That is why the Bible says so little about years 1-12, nothing about 12-29, & so much from 30 to His Ascension. So, Jesus was a disciple from 12 to 29, & His disciples learned at His foot (so to speak) beginning around age 30.<br />
<br />
<br />
3) Lord - Phases 2 -4 are captured in a Biblical term called "Sanctification" (set aside for sacred purpose), meaning this is time to develop into who God wants before Jesus returns. The 3rd Biblical term is "Glorification", & that's <span style="font-style: italic;">after</span> Jesus returns, we get a glorified body, & will forever be with God amen. Alright, now after we learn the rules, & only after deciding to obey the commandments can we make Jesus Lord. The choice is yours. If you never learn any of God's commandments, He cannot be Lord of your life. Meaning, Jesus becomes Lord if (and only "if") we agree to accept God's Commandments, and let Him govern.<br />
<br />
<br />
4) Apostle - By now, the disciple is ready to graduate from only being concerned about saving self, seeing Heaven, etc., and though is not perfect, has a reasonable understanding of purpose & mission. At this stage we realize that the only way to do right is by turning our actions over to Jesus (righteousness). Also, we learn to love the way God thinks based on what He says and does. We then get a feel for why He is true love, and we begin to express His love to our contacts though our own personal ministry in which we teach and represent in & out of church.<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be nice if we all chose spouses who are apostles in their own right? I have said some bold things about marriage, Sabbath, & now I'm saying another huge statement in that, our churches have been operating in a mix of error and TRUTH. Meaning, we are in Babylon, the one spoken of in Revelation, & even I should've given more attention to steps 1-3 before trying to teach. Our churches have it wrong yall, so come out of Babylon.<br />
<br />
Think twice about trying to preach & represent Jesus until you have learned (and mastered) some Bible teaching...that will reduce hypocrisy. Develop proper training & Bible study wherever you worship...that will improve our churches. <br />
<br />
Understand how powerful it is to be able to refer the opposite gender to your spouse, & how powerful a couple you can be with both spouses in ministry...that will reduce jealousy, strife, divorces, & improve marriages. Then the public will have a higher regard for the Christian life, & be attracted to God's Word.<br />
