This is a private interpretation that finds no basis in the scriptures. It is in fact misrepresenting what Jesus himself said in the account of the Pharisees confronting Jesus because his disciples were eating the the grains from the fields they walked through. See the story in Matthew 12:1-8

I find no mystery here. The 4th commandment is plain enough. Just as plain as any of the other nine commandments. I see in it the author’s (of the commandments) identity. His title, his name and his domain.

Could someone show me where the word ‘rapture’ appears in the scriptures

EGO Oh let me sing the song of me so it has preference over thee My flawless right asserts itself to judge you more than God himself Coveted titles worn with pride to put all others in their stride Professor, Doctor, Your Holiness and more bow down to me or there’s the door This...

It looks immaculate. At heart I’m an adventurer. Across land on bikes, across the ocean on sailing boats always doing it as cost effective as possible and in the process attempting to connect with the local people. It’s not always as easy as it might sound and often wonder how Jesus did it...

In previous ages messages were sent by word of mouth or by letter. Today we have a media that communicates in pictures and sound and that instantly. Great technology but it is also manipulative. For instance a picture can be taken to support a particular theme and sent around the globe...

Hey Grams, I know a song called Lily Marlene. You probably know it as well. It’s got a nice tune. It wouldn’t happen to be about you would it? :) just kidding. Nice to hear your story.

By the way Triumph, nice bike! A few years ago I did an 18 mth ride on a DR650 from Prudoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina. Camped out where I could. I’d do it again but this time with company.

Look at Moses, 80 years old and God says, I have a project for you. That’s encouraging for me :)

I suppose God has not left himself without witness amongst all the nations of the world

Alice, the expression ‘Son of Man’ is Jesus’s favourite expression of himself. He did not call himself the Son of God although he was.

James, do you really think the temporal affairs of men is the objective of Prophecy?

Lin, we are all trying to understand as best we can. None of us have 20/20 vision although we might like to think so. Much patience and self honesty is required by all whose heart desires to understand God’s Word.

As I read the scriptures I find that The Church has always been in existence wether OT or NT. The division of history is ours. Salvation is for all people in the worlds history. The literal nation of Israel is a real life metaphor for God’s Church throughout all time. The way salvation has...

WOW!!

Well yasoooo, you have made many words and posted links. I have not found them inspiring or persuasive. I guess that means this brown duck ain’t buying.

Yes, it is an interesting contrast. The scriptures use of similar metaphors to illustrate seemingly opposed positions happens in everyday life as well and it is only context that separates the intended meaning.

Yes, glorifying the candle so that it eclipses the sun is what we need to be mindful of. Emphasis in the areas of the text that do not call for emphasis will shift the focus. Oh the subtlty of error that swirls about us in a dozen forms. May our God shine a light and guide our feet in his paths.

Mysticism is the bedfellow to the idea of the immortality of the soul. The rise of spiritualism in the churches is no surprise. It goes hand in hand with with these ideas.

Firstly, welcome to the forum Lin. I hope you find encouragement and growth. Perhaps I should say this; the genealogy of faith (God’s people) is not ethnicity connected in the strict sense. You will find this throughout the scripture both old and new testaments. A look at the genealogy of...
