Being passive is all too common in todays church. People say...Jesus did it all already. If someone is sick....let God heal them....let God bring revival and die for the world. I'll just sit back and claim my salvation ticket and exploit the sacrifice of Jesus to my heart's content. But then...

That's not biblical but your own personal interpretation that contradicts Jesus.

It begins by Jesus Christ in us as a sample.....then we surrender all to buy the product. So then yes, the way to God is a 2 step process. In the old days they called it the baptism of the Spirit.....or the 2nd blessing. But I see it as changing locations....into abiding in Christ. I think too...

Even though the translation is the same...borne upon her sides... The Hebrew actually is clearly that....with no hidden meanings apparent. I always look for words that stick out as if they were put there to be noticeable in the out of context placement. But in the case of the above verses I...

The hidden word in the text you provided is emounah....faith. Why do I call it a hidden word? Because it doesn't seem to fit with the resat of the sentence. This happens a lot in Hebrew scriptures. God sends in a monkey wrench into the text to show an eternal dimension. For instance when...

Oh my...the whole basis of truth is based on more than one dimension. There is the eternal AND the temporal where mankind is concerned. Think about this....Why are there always 2 words to describe the will of God....like Spirit AND truth. All the ways of God are mercy and truth. There are...

We need to endure to the end to be "saved" in an eternal way. Otherwise we are engaging in salvation by obedience to Christ with the evidence of love for others as He loves. even if we are exercising spiritual gifts, that in no way guarantees our acceptance into the kingdom later on. We need...

You'd have to know Hebrew to get the point here. The translators are forced to make compromises with the text. Otherwise it makes no sense as written. But it is in studying these strange wordings that we find the original meaning intact. The prefix Bet....mean "in" The suffix vav denotes a...

The spiritual realm of the kingdom of God. We enter into that heavenly realm whereby it is Christ living through us....and we walking where He is...in Zion. That is the spiritual rest. No longer by our efforts... But this is not an easy place to enter.....the door is narrow as well as the way...

How are we healed initially by His stripes? We are healed by a substitutionary taking on of a punishment due to us. We receive the love that this means as something that heals us. So we are healed by His love taking our place. But there is a deeper level to those stripes. It is about a deeper...

The context of the life in a life statement in Deut. 19 is that of people not understanding that Jesus is living in a person....and is treated as if this were false. Paul says...the MORE I love the less I am loved. This is the inversion that takes place according to the deeper level of...

Now, here is the kicker... The second reference to "a life for a life" is found in Deut. 19 Deut. 19:21 Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Sound the same??? But it is not the same at all in Hebrew. כא וְלֹא תָחוֹס...

Now just an aside to explain why life and soul are synonymous....and when speaking of life in the singular sense it is rendered as soul. This is due to the fact that in Hebrew, the word for "life" is plural for we humans. We were created to live on 2 levels from the very beginning...having...

So here is the first mention of the law of redemption.....a life for a life. Now we know we have been redeemed through Jesus giving His life for us. This satisfies the first level of redemption....a life for a life. It is a balanced and righteous standard that while not precluding God's ability...

OK....so this is going to be difficult for some people here. Since this isn't taught in sunday school this will not be understood or accepted so easily. :) But to those who love the truth and want to go deeper than sunday school...here is a thread that will take you deeper (by faith of course)...

I have a final scriptural challenge to post on this thread. When the author of Hebrews gives examples of faith, he uses the case of Enoch who was translated to God because he pleased the Lord. Heb. 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God...

The Hebrew says....Al-tsad te-amanah.....which means ...until they side with your faith. (or your faithfulness) I don't see where they get borne on the side... So I read it like this....Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all are gathered together, and come to thee; Your sons come...

Is. 28:16 So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken. i Pet. 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering...

There is never a guarantee of a salvation status. We are under grace not the law. There is no law that provides any guarantees. We are all at the mercy of God's judgments. There is no law above God that ties His hands. Of course Christianity today has sunk to the status of a mere human...

You really must read the entire bible and not just the selected verses that back up a religious indoctrination. Gal. 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Think about that...
