Replicating the Holy Anointing Oil in Exodus

[Dave-W]

The reason why the law will not pass is because not all men handle the law properly not having been born of THE SPIRIT they can not and are not led by the promptings of THE SPIRIT so as to make the law of effect so as not to misrepresent GOD

Way too far off topic to address here. (and a serious lack of understanding that the Law was given ONLY to Jews)

That was what HE said.

But "all" has not been accomplished yet. We have NOT seen "face to face" 1 Cor 13. Nor has the devil been confined to hell forever. The Kingdoms of this world have not YET become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Messiah.

GOD has already transferred us out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Light in His Son


Our "work" is to REMAIN in HIM, bring all our works into THE LIGHT to see what is wrought in GOD

And what isn't cast off as the works of the "wrong father"

 

[miknik5]

Doing that is seriously off topic.

Only verses 13-16 are on topic with anointing oil (and really only v 14). But lets see the surrounding verses for context:

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

After chiding wrong attitudes and behaviors, James is telling his readers what PROPER attitudes and actions are in various situations. So the sick are to call on the ELDERS (plural) of the congregation to pray and anoint them.

To do otherwise is to disobey scripture.

Who are the elders? Those born of GOD's SPIRIT or those replicating GOD's SPIRIT all in the name of The Lord?

The law and Word given to Jews also said not only cursed is anyone who does not do all that is written but that there is none who do right and do not sin. And the promise of salvation to ALL MEN came through the jews

 

[miknik5]

and and no this is not off topic. What is being discussed here are things that were simply the shadows of all the realities found in CHRIST JESUS

So again why go backwards to things?

The topic is the OP replicating the Anointing oil, not the Law in general.

 

[miknik5]

It WAS to be used on Aaron and his sons. But no one else. And no one was to make a duplicate.

And to limit it to Aaron, et al takes all the fun out of it.
They take "we ain't under no law" to mean they can do pretty much anything they want.

The topic is the OP replicating the Anointing oil, not the Law in general.

so we can do whatever we want then. Correct?

Then are you advising this man to continue on and not to concern himself with doing this?

In a nutshell yes. It will not make him a better or worse believer.

 

[miknik5]

In a nutshell yes. It will not make him a better or worse believer.

I advise him not to. It is dishonoring to GOD for the aroma of CHRIST is sufficient to the believer

 

[miknik5]

Do you think wearing the garments of a high priest and putting incense in our Breast pocket when we come before the throne of GOD should be allowed or should it be strongly rejected and the person corrected

Before. Or after they come before the presence of GOD?

What do you think GOD was saying by HIS WORD when HE said do not come up to the altar on "steps" lest your nakedness be uncovered?

What is the ONLY COVERING we should bring before the throne of GOD?

And why was Aaron's sons rejected?

 

[miknik5]

i advise this man to no longer replicate the anointing oil

It's a false covering. And not needed

 

[DawnStar]

I advise him not to. It is dishonoring to GOD for the aroma of CHRIST is sufficient to the believer

OK. But it will not hurt if he does. Although it will not help either. He likes the aroma. No big deal.

Because this is not the real formula, you have nothing to worry about:

'The exact recipe is here:

• Myrrh Essential Oil - 500 shekels
• Cassia Essential Oil - 500 shekels
• Cinnamon Essential Oil - 250 shekels
• Calamus Essential Oil – 250 shekels and
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1 hin)"

Exodus does NOT say to use essential oil. You simply assumed such. With an approximate date of 1300-1500BC, why would you assume they were using distilled essential oils, instead of heat and time infusing the olive oil with the dried plant materials? The Myrrh is said to be a liquid", but the rest are not specified, and given the time period, there is not very much reason to assume that they WERE using essential steam distilled oils, for those not mentioned as "liquid".

 

[Newtheran]

I replicated the exact Holy Anointing Oil in Exodus, with the recipe found in Exodus 20

There appears to be a warning in the passage, would this warning apply to me, a believer in Christ?


The Anointing Oil

22Moreover, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23“Take also for yourself the finest of spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, two hundred and fifty, and of fragrant cane two hundred and fifty, 24and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin. 25“You shall make of these a holy anointing oil, a perfume mixture, the work of a perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil. 26“With it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, 27and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, 28and the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand. 29“You shall also consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy. 30“You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister as priests to Me. 31“You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. 32‘It shall not be poured on anyone’s body, nor shall you make any like it in the same proportions; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 33‘Whoever shall mix any like it or whoever puts any of it on a layman shall be cut off from his people.’”

You'll be fine.

Just don't take the lid off the ark of the covenant.
