Interesting thread!#4 Appointed of God, not man.
Hebrews 5:5-6
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 9: 27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
I agree as the foundation of our constitution was based on standards of God.Interesting thread!

Hebrews 4:
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
I agree some will inevitably corrupt any truth of God's word to justify their lifestyle that is contrary to his commandments.Some take this to mean they can still live in sin and Jesus will talk to the Father for us to get Him to forgive us as we continue to live in sin. In other words, no repentance from sin is necessary according to some folks
What about God's promises concerning healing?
That should be a right because Jesus took or sickness and disease upon His Body so we could be healed!
To the pretenders of faith who DISBELIEVE that we must remain in the vine and endure to the end to receive eternal life, they will continue to absolve themselves. They refuse to recognize they sin and must confess, repent and forsake the weight & sin that besets them.Some take this to mean they can still live in sin and Jesus will talk to the Father for us to get Him to forgive us as we continue to live in sin.

I've heard a thing . . .I agree as the foundation of our constitution was based on standards of God.
People left British rule bc of the oppression of religious freedom, and taxation.
When there is oppression, ppl are ready to turn to the power of God for relief. Before Christ second coming this same oppressive behaviour by governments and the A.C. will again cause ppl to seek a country not under the rule of satan and man but of God !
