Greeting, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to all.
most Christian think they can understand the bible on their own. NO, I'm sorry for you, if you think that way you will have trouble, as you are having with this topic. because you'll be saying, "woman can't pastor, or preach and teach".
that's the whole purpose of the
giving, or the out pouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. NOT TO STAY IN IGNORANCE concerning our Lord and SAVIOUR JESUS the Christ, who is the ONLY true GOD. the Holy Spirit is in his Holy apostle, prophets, and
HIS teachers, and ect.... the prophet is the vessel, but he who is in the vessel is prophesy. one can't preach, teach, pastor, or give understanding unless they have the Spirit. that's why I teach, and preach the HOLY SPIRIT ONLY. One need to re-read Chapter 5 of Revelation. the bible is a sealed book. and the one who took the book is the one who is able to reveal the contents of the book. one might say, I read my bible, but it's still sealed. men have, yes,
men have Ignorantly interpreted the scriptures according to their own understanding. and the scriptures clearly states, 2 Peter 1:20 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is
of any private interpretation". and Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths. 7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil".
men, yes, men, have gone into a confederacy without the Lord to interpret the bible on their own. they are BLIND GUIDES, as Jude said, Jude 1:12 "These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead,
plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever". Our Lord warned us of them, Matthew 15:12 "Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted,
shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone:
they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch".
this is just what have happen today, nothing NEW UNDER THE SUN. evil is still evil, and men is still falling for the deception of the lie. what is the lie, to be wise in their own eyes. Romans 1:28 "And even as they did not like to retain God
in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful,
proud,
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them".
Please understand, I'm not putting anyone down, for WE, including me, are ignorant of God word. as the apostle Paul said, Romans 10:2 "For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God,
but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth". Christ is the END, the END of the OLD WAY, "only men are priest". if one is in Christ, that way is to END. listen, those who once was cut off is restored. Isaiah 56:3 "Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. 6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar;
for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him".
The Lord God almighty said, "
for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people". not a house
of rules and regulation. and those rule and regulation, cut people off. I wonder how many
really prayed before they responded to this topic.
Love and Peace
