The Sum of His Word being Truth...

[Portalmon]

Because I wanted a thread where I could post whatever verses or passages or books, etc. that I might be studying at the moment. This isn't a "game" - but I know nowhere else to post bible verses for whatever reason... - and anyone is free to post whatever verses they please as well

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:1 Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:2 For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:3 Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:4 having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant;
.
Those particular contents being of particular import - being chosen above anything else for inclusion...

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:5 and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:6 Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship,

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:7 but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing,
.
Is this referring to "sins committed in ignorance?"

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:9 which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:10 since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
.
...a cleansed conscience

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
.
...yet all are called, while few there are that will believe/obey

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:16 For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.
.
"Covenant" in the sense of a TESTAMENT (e.g. last will and testatment), which isn't in force until the person who made it actually dies.

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:17 For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:18 Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.
.
...the blood implying what was promised (testament) couldn't be received until the testator died?
...implying they weren't shown who the testator was, that they were expected to have faith?

 

[Portalmon]

(NASB) - Hebrews 9:19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
