Can you explain deuteronomy chapter 15 verse 22

It has always fascinated me, since coming to the age of reasoning, that there's even a hint of the possibility of Christ's parentage, ".....at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph....verse 23 of Luke chapter three. Why would the Almighty allow that and for what reason? Please respond. Thank you in advance.

Apparent error in some modern N.T. 1 Cor. 11:1-16 : Paul had the complex role of helping new believers adapt their understanding to the new life in Jesus, from the OT system. I believe this is Paul answering some of their questions to him. 1 Cor.7:1. Let's determine to stay with Paul and study his letter as a whole, rather than promote the error of some altered Bibles.

The word "Ordinances" in our v,2 is defined in this letter in ch,2:2, which tells that these ordinance were Jesus Christ an him crucified, not about stuff which was for the daughters of the first Adam. Nevertheless, for believers, it otherwise, being "In the Lord" (v.11)

The original word for "Head" in our v. 3, is commonly used as, "source or supply, like the head of a river, also translated "Sum" in Acts 22:28.

Our v.10, in the original, has no reference to wearing a symbol, but simply says, she shall have power" on (which is defined "jurisdiction, right, privilege, on or over head" because she has angels ministering to her. (see Heb.1:14 )

In our v.16, The original word for "Custom" is defined "An established practice" and must refer to the practices which only the daughters of the first Adam adhere to, not those "In the Lord."

A friend reminded me that we all need to be reminded of this daily

It's both. Yes, Jesus offers all of us a free gift, however, it's conditional. The condition is that we believe, repent, confess our sin, accept that Jesus is Lord and God's son, and follow Him. Link

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death 1 john:5: 16-17

the word of GOD will tell who you because of your character. if we read an with understanding revelation from GOD and obedient.1 JOHN:3 :10,16-18

I need a good Bible one that gives you some understanding of the word.

I read the KJV..lot of times I don't understand it.

Can you recommend a good

one that has maybe even

different versions.

Thanks for your reply,I have read all this but wanted to get the word out to many people that still thinkthe word (rapture ) is an actual word in the bible

Thank you for breaking it down for me.

I'm puzzled by the following passages.

Genesis 1:26

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

To whom is God referring when he says "us?" Is God a singular entity? If so, then why the plural form? And who is this "them?" Men? Then why not say "men" instead of "man?"

Genesis 1:27

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."



If God is a singular entity, then how could both men and women be "in his own image?" Is God a hermaphrodite?

I thank you for ur app,

How can i get wisdom? Thank you

From Wikipedia: "Palestinian Christians are Christian citizens of the State of Palestine. In the wider definition of Palestinian Christians, including the Palestinian refugees, diaspora and people with full or partial Palestinian Christian ancestry this can be applied to an estimated 500,000 people worldwide as of 2000. Palestinian Christians belong to one of a number of Christian denominations, including Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Catholicism (Eastern and Western rites), Anglicanism, Lutheranism, other branches of Protestantism and others. They number 20% of the 13 million Palestinians."

The Times of Israel, 6 August 2015:

"The head of an extreme right-wing Israeli group opposed to Jewish-Arab integration on Tuesday advocated the burning of mosques and churches in Israel at a public forum.

Lehava chairman Bentzi Gopshtain took part in a panel debating Jewish religious law Tuesday night alongside Rabbi Moshe Klein, rabbi of the Hadassah Hospitals; Tsuriel Krispal, deputy mayor of Elad; and Benny Rabinovitch, a writer for the ultra-Orthodox paper Yated Ne'eman.

Gopshtain's remarks came against the backdrop an arson incident at the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes on the shore of the Sea of Galilee in June. Police arrested three Jewish suspects believed involved in the attack, some of whom were implicated in previous attacks on Christian sites in Israel.

During the debate, Rabinovitch asked Gopshtain point blank whether he advocated the burning of churches, according to a recording of the debate published Wednesday by the ultra-Orthodox news site Kikar Hashabat.

'Maimonides' Gopshtain started, apparently alluding to the rulings of the 12th century Jewish sage, 'you must burn [churches], are you against Maimonides or in favor of Maimonides?'

'Don't tell me about Maimonides, I asked you what you say,' Rabinovitch replied.

'Of course I am,' Gopshtain said."

Thank you for your thoughtful post, Chris. Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the SIN of the world, is able to save to the UTTERMOST those who come unto God by Him, for He ever lives to make intercession for them. Salvation is all about a PERSONAL relationship with the Savior. He has even provided for us, by His FINISHED work on the Cross, the works for us to enter into. ( Ephesians 2:8-10). Many will say "Lord, Lord" to Jesus on the last day, and point to THEIR works as proof of a relationship (which was non-existent) with Him, when there is only ONE work God will accept for our Salvation and redemption: the BLOOD of a sinless, spotless Lamb offered at Calvary. The Apostle Paul knew there is ONE way to KNOW Christ: thru His Cross, His death, and His sufferings ( Philippians 3:7-11). There is a world-loving, sensual church today that has completely walked away from the meaning of the Cross: which is DIE to self, and become united with Christ in His Cross and partake of the Power of His Resurrection that flows from His Cross, which is the power of God and the Wisdom of God ( 1st Corinthians 1:23-24).

I love our FATHER GOD and he means every word he says to us.He is my everything.

What a people don't understand is that a lot has happened to Yah's chosen people. A good start will be Deut: 28:68 , Rev 2:9, Rev 3:9, read this and just think of who these people are, then you can properly understand the adoption

I believe the unforgivable sin is not accepting jesus christ as the son of god and your lord and savilor.

To lay down one's life simply means, I would be willing to have the love and courage to stand against evil to save my friends. There is no glory to die for a cause, the glory is in victory over evil, victory over death. What use do you serve if you die, burdening your friends with guilt. To stand in front of a burdened soul, protecting them from evil, that is where you'll find me laying my ground.

I use to think this scripture " Weeping May Endure For A Night, But Joy Cometh In The Morning", only meant that one may cry at night and rejoice in the morning.

Now from experience, I may feel stressed, depressed, overwhelmed from all the things that happened throughout the day, but the next morning I am given a new surge of hope, energy and renewed strength. Praise be to God!!!

HEBREWS 12:14 Follow peace with all men and hollinesse without which no man shall see the Lord 1611 bible

Dear Bendito, please be respectful to others who interpret scripture different than you. You projected an assumption on someone you don't know by claiming that person has a 'low opinion' of Jesus. That's false and not very nice to say that to a Christian.

People could use the same logical fallacy against such an argument. For example: Matthew 7:21 clearly says not everyone who claims they are a follower of Jesus (a Christian) will enter heaven. So, for one who doesn't believe this verse, another could possibly assume such a person is calling Jesus a liar. That would probably seem unfair, wouldn't it?

There's many other places where Jesus warns Christians to obey and avoid sin. Some find this quite inconvenient and are quite motivated to make the verses say and mean something else. Why not dig deeper in the Bible and pray to God for understanding. God bless.

Yes. In Acts 8:6-40.

Thank you Andy - well written. However, as Christians & by virtue that that title implies, we're no longer under the Old Covenant but under the New, that which Christ has instigated for us. So many believers place themselves under the Old when claiming to be obedient to the Spirit's Law written on their hearts. I can't fathom how that can possibly work as the annulment of the Old was necessary before the New could take effect ( Hebrews 7:18,19). So the great question is: can a believer depend entirely on the Spirit's Voice to his heart, or His reminders of the 'higher' Law that exceeded that which was written on stone, and also have spiritual discernment to what is sin for him that may not be sin for another?

And then another question that comes to mind: can a believer who has truly been saved through Christ's Blood & have the indwelling Spirit to be his constant Guide & Strengthener, ever fall into such spiritual disrepair, where "the flesh needs be given up for destruction so that the spirit might be saved in the day of Christ?"( 1 Corinthians 5:5). Again, believers are divided on this issue, & we ought not to be, if we understand the saving Grace of God that comes without measure & without flaw. I detect that often the Gospel we preach is done with such zeal for the sinner's soul, that we fail to make it a more serious matter requiring deep introspection & conviction. Without being affected by the depth of our sin & certain everlasting judgement, the sinner's response to receive Christ might well be superficial, resembling the seed that did not fall into 'good ground'.

Many Churches are filled with such, even in the pulpit, & so I valued the time I had with older Sunday School children, teaching them from a very well titled workbook: "So, you think you are a Christian!" Every lesson was a challenge to both teacher & student to maintain great vigilance of the soul, being introspective & knowing the full significance of Christ's great Sacrifice.

For those who need revealing help with Daniel, get info here/Can use help with publishing revealing book. Anybody there, Dalton?

So which is it? Did Jesus take away all of our sin? Or are we still yet sinners? Have you not read...the flesh profits nothing. Make no provision for the flesh! (Stumbling stone)

Lord forbid you might have such a low opinion of our Good Shepherd to think he could lose even one of his sheep.

What chapter should I start from

Phillip was sent by the Holy Spirit to the carriage of an Ethiopian Ambassador to explain the book of Isaiah, they journey on and he wishes to be baptized. Where is this passage. Is it in the book of Acts.?

You must consider that men lived much much longer pre flood , so in a short time there could be entire villages or towns like easily. 1 man could father a whole town . Some of these people lived close to a thousand years old perhaps , 500 years old was middle age . Men where designed to live for ever , but sin shortened their life as we know . God eventually shorten mans life to 120 years because of his wickedness . To this day men never reach 120 , yet Moses did .

You can still honor and respect your mom from a distance for the limited involvement they had and not need to be involved in her life or physically around her. That is my opinion.
