    Parsing Hebrews 10

    Matt, Mk, Lk marrying & giving in marriage

    2 Corinthians 3: 6-9

    2 Cor 3: 6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. (MY NOTE: New testament believers are not ministers of the law. The laws purpose is to expose & condemn sins Gal 3:10,17,22-25 which...

    Some background: Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the "new testament", that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (MY NOTE: Christ is the mediator...

    Christ Returns, 1000 Year Millennial Kingdom

    God chose Israel to be a Nation of Priests (Ex 19:6) to teach ALL the world the ways of the Lord. Rom :3 1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. (MY NOTE: God chose Israel...

    1 Corinthians 7:14

    1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 1st thought, sanctified & saved are not the same thing, nor, are they interchangeable. God sanctified (set...

    A Contradiction Of Belief?

    Whether or not you believe we are in the new covenant or the old covenant, you may believe a contradicting Truth!

    Sorting It All Out

    So, I must tell you this story before I get into today’s passage. I was on Twitter reading other people’s Tweets, primarily those of other Christians, for there are many Christians on Twitter sharing the Scriptures and their walks of faith with Jesus Christ. And, then I read this Tweet...

    First Fruits A Resurrection Foreshadow

    The Firstfruits feast began while wandering in the wilderness, owning no land or crops. The people partook by faith that God would lead them to the promised land. It was forbidden to eat from the crop fields until the sheaf/omer offering had been lifted up unto the LORD (Lev 23:14)...

    Old Covenant -- vs -- New Covenant - and the same moral law of God in both

    As we all know - "old covenant" was given in fact to Adam as "Obey and Live" But when it comes to OT Israel at Sinai -- Paul says the "Gospel was preached to THEM (Israel at Sinai) - just as it was to US also " Heb 4:1 Yet Sinai was not an "individual" covenant (and the New Covenant is) . In...

    Old Covenant defined - vs - NEW Covenant

    This should be good. Certainly it included the TEN - as a basic reading of the book of Exodus will show. But not the "Old Covenant" . Details matter. Ex. 34:23-27 23 “Three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the Lord God of Israel. 24 For I will cast out the...
