Anybody know what the "mount of the congregation " refers to? Is it Zion?

I'm unclear what it is that you're trying to say here, but I like that you think in legal terms as pertaining the judgment. When His church makes the legal decree upon the host of heaven and they are brought low, His enemies will all be His subjects and every knee will bow, and every tongue...

This came to mind after my last post: For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; Isaiah 14:13 Since this passage is about judgment, there should...

I kinda think that Ezekiel's temple is in the outer darkness and that the New Jerusalem is on a mount to the north, but ny memory is a bit hazy on the verses. Those that inherit the land have a Levitical priesthood promised in the covenant of salt, but we are a high priesthood judging and...

Actually there is a purpose to a physical temple that can be understood in the judgment of the host of heaven. It has to do with standards of judgment. The rulers in the heavenly places have authority over the kingdoms and territories on Earth and judged men according to the laws of God. ‘This...

When the Lord has something important to say, He generally says it at least twice, especially in "legal matters" that involve the judgment, both in the Law and in the economy of the church. “One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth...

I guess that you're the default worship leader. Do you have a version of the Revelation song sung with multiple voices? I loved strumming and singing to that song. I attended a Calvary Chapel down on the Jersey shore for a while and they had a guitar fellowship open to the congregation. I loved...

I think this way also, but I don't think the meaning of the passage is altered. However, giving God the glory and the problem with boasting was known to Paul, at least when he wrote about his "credentials " as a Jew but counted them as dung. I think boasting in some aspects is a common fault and...

I'm in no hurry for the order of church discipline, but I'll give you the order of authority, or better stated, the order of service, which apparently has been neglected or ignored by a large portion of the church upon Earth. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28 And...

I see that you don't comprehend the role of the prophet in redemptive history or as it applies to the church, but tell me the order of church discipline if you will.

Thank you for your contribution, brother. It's a good, fair, and righteous thing not to go beyond what is written in scripture, and the point of this study is to exegete scripture to find an understanding. It's not uncommon, especially among biblical scholars doing word by word exegesis, to be...

Amen and Amen. I've got another cool and sunny morning (it was 46° here last night), but the temperature might hit 80 by late afternoon and I want to try to finish filling the right half of my wood locker. Oops, its already after 2. I'm confident that you can field questions so I'm gone for the...

You're not wrong, but even Paul struggled relentlessly with his own sin, that nature in his flesh that remained in opposition to His Spirit, even calling himself the chief of sinners: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to...

I would agree, but can't be dogmatic about it. The risen Christ "spoke" with Saul on the road to Damascus and He did see the risen Lord who he frequently refers to as Christ Jesus instead of Jesus Christ on that same occasion .

I don't doubt you brother, but we want to be clear for the sake of "unstable minds." I was married to one. She's a believer, but has always struggled with unrighteous teachings. This is a person who loves the sound preaching of Charles Stanley, and the unsound doctrines of Joel Osteen. The two...

I'm not suggesting that slothfulness somehow leads to the loss of salvation, and you're correct that our growth is ultimately controlled by the Lord. However our "rewards" are based upon what we do in the body of Christ and we are instructed by the Apostle Paul to exhort the brethren to good...

Good catch there, brother. It is a common assumption, but no less true if Paul wasn't being modest and spoke of another saint's experience. We also tend to assume that Paul wrote the epistle to the Hebrews because the theology is deep and the writing style is similar, but it could've been...

This is good, but be cautious. These passages are also used by the Jehovah's witnesses to deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, and by the Luciferians who see the Lord as Lucifer, having come out of His church and introducing destructive heresies.

I don't disagree with what you're saying regarding that necessity of the renewal of our minds, but we do have all these rebukes and warnings from the Lord in the letters to the 7 churches in chapters 2 and 3 of the book of the Revelation which are given to all with an ear to hear. And we do have...

Thank you for the clarification brother. Things will get a bit more difficult when we examine the actual words of Christ in the context of the everlasting gospel and I believe that the Apostle Paul was shown these things and was forbidden to speak about them during the formation of the church...
