For Those of You Who Don't Already Know

Apparently this week's debate is cancelled. (I just found this out btw.) Any thoughts on this? I still think it's a dumb move for Trump because he's losing out on campaign time.

It seems to me that there something similar between this man and Jesus. -- Jesus went to the Synagogue, but never became a "priest". He didn't follow ANY of the normal religious conventions, and was criticized for violating them. Instead he took a boat across a lake and slept while it was sinking, preached to gathered throngs of people, and did what GOD wanted versus what MAN wanted.

Could we ask for anyone/anything better?

If Jesus wasn't a priest then why did they call Him the priests of priests?

It is the commissions fault and I think it is a smart move for President Trump, gives him more rally time.

@JohnDB,.. care to share your thoughts on this thread?

LOL, -- now you're catching me BEYOND MY CAPABILITIES! --

I'd argue that the Prophets weren't in the priesthood; NONE of the Disciples, and only Paul was close to that enterprise; Jesus wasn't either a Sadducee or Pharisee; and Trump certainly isn't religiously trained, but he is a DEEPLY RELIGIOUS person, -- just as Jesus and the Prophets.


Whew, you certainly ask hard questions! :)

What do you mean by that?

After the two candidates made such fools of themselves in the first "debate", I really hope there aren't any others.

I second that.

That's not fair,.. everybody should have a chance to campaign. Not everybody does *cough* *cough* Biden,.. but everybody should at least have the chance to.

 

[Bobby Jo]

What do you mean by that?

LOL, -- that I have Subject Matter Expertise (SME) in Bible Prophecy, but not so (... and I'm chuckling as I type ...) much expertise in "priests" and GOD's view versus MAN's view of CALLINGS. And given the circumstances, I really don't care what "Honors"/"Degrees"/"Certificates" men give to men, but only what GOD gifts to whom HE will! :)

With My Very Best Regards,
Bobby Jo

I'm confuzzled. :

I second that.

I third that. I think it did more to damage both.

 

[Bobby Jo]

I'm confuzzled. :

... that makes both of us! But the fact is, while Jesus was on earth, men (the "religious") never bestowed upon him "Priest", but only "teacher". Then after he was resurrected, GOD gave HIM that Designation. And so Jesus is our High Priest:

Hebrews 8:1 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord.​

With Best Regards,

I was taught that Jesus was the high priest. Hebrews 7:28 "For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever."

Certainly men appoint men; and GOD appoints men. And it appears that in Jesus' case it was the latter, -- when Jesus completed HIS work on earth?

Thanks, Bobby, but the scripture I posted indicates that you become a priest from the law not from men as you suggest. And the son of God became a high priest from the oath itself. Men do not create high priests, the law and the oath do. One becomes a high priest when they obey the law. And Jesus never failed the law so he was already a high priest, but the oath also then.

It is a lie that men appoint leaders of the church and appoint to office a priest. The church of God is not man appointed. Men appointing men is a way for man to control the church of God and nothing else, it is a lie in my beliefs.Any church that uses men to appoint it's leaders is a false church in my opinion. Not that I don't belong and accept one of them, but it is a lie. We accept it because it's the best method to ensure nothing is creepy with your officials.

But they do it and it's not how God works. Look at Moses, God appointed, John the Baptist, God appointed, Joseph in Egypt, God appointed. God works thru the law and oath to accept priests. And he works with them, and that I testify. Look at the 12 apostles, God appointed, and when they needed another and God didn't appoint one what happened, they cast lots. Acts of the Apostles 1:23-26.

Thanks BobbyJo and much love!
