Hi Richard. I sense from your comment, that you are in 'a strait betwixt two', having a desire to impart what you have learned from the Word that would be helpful to readers, yet being introspective as to the reasons for doing so. Before proceeding, you well know that I have refrained from commenting on your posts, though you might recall that I did initially respond at your very first posts (was it about two years ago?) & received no response from you. From that I gathered that your desire was simply to share your understanding from the Word on various important subjects, but did not want to further engage in discussion or possibly a lengthy debate. Hence, I refrained from writing, though have always read your offerings & have been in agreement & blessed by them; as I'm quite sure many others have as well, though not responding. Gigi too, has undertaken a similar program of sharing from the OT, and those too have been very worthwhile to gaining deeper insights, but for me, this type of input has never been my intention. I just prefer to deal with enquirers' questions about the Word or Christian living, or even to respond to those wanting to query my answers to enquirers.
That said, and with your desire to share from the Word in the manner you're doing presently, is very commendable, even though eliciting very few comments to your presentations. Personally, my view (and not to say, an accurate one), is that these lessons are very likely those you have already shared or planning to share with your study/prayer group, and now given here for our knowledge & encouragement, with hopefully, comments that might be also useful to you. I sense this because of the references you've made to your ministry to others, particularly the aged home you visit. Your genuine faith & love for the Lord, His Word & His people clearly comes through your posts, so I perceive no ulterior motive on your part in what you believe is a necessary & encouraging ministry. GBU brother.
It is sad that this has been the case for the past 200 years in America and England, too. The Holy Spirit is not the source of much of these happenings or teachings or "manifestations". We do need to be watchful and skeptical so we will question what come out as the "newest thing" in Christian circles.
If we follow the wisdom we read in the Epistles we will spare ourselves a lot of deception. I hope you will continue to post on this. There are those who may reconsider how they view the teachings of these aberrant viewpoints and free themselves from its hold on them.
I am glad you are my friend here. And I am glad you are willing to tackle some topics that may cause others to be uncomfortable. Have a blessed night. Still waiting for baby Rosie to arrive. Should be any day. Hope some day this week!
We each should regularly ask the Lord to search us as to our motives and to have any sinful way brought to our attention by the Holy Spirit. Your transparency here is refreshing. This forum is a blessing and a source of not only biblical information but also conversations that can make us think deeply about matters and revisit Scriptures on the matter to see if one must change their own viewpoint. So I always wish to be like the Bereans.
I have been reading what you have posted concerning the prosperity teachings that have become so dominant in many circles. You are correct that this teaching grew out of the pentecostal movement beginning in the turn of the last century (1900's) being an extension of the Wesleyan holiness movement of the 1800's. It branched out in the 1930's and 1940's with Branham and Hagan faith-healing emphasis. The movement went full force in the 1980's and onward from there. I remember when Casey Treat began his pastoring in the Seattle area in the 1980's. Christian's were easily seduced into this teaching as I recall, among people I knew in "charismatic" churches then.
The movement was birthed from the Faith Healing sector to become the Word of Faith movement and soon forked into the "We are Little gods" movement. Then it morphed into the New Apostolic Apostle movement with self-proclaimed prophets and apostles from so many mega-church/prosperity circles to draw in leaders from across the globe. This ever-branching deception has been going on for 100+ years now and the Oneness Pentecostal movement is another child of this movement.
Unfortunately, the U.S.A. has been the source of many deceptive organizations, including Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, and the Word of Faith/Faith-Healing/and others mentioned. America's independent spirit, interest in novel religious beliefs, and ready acceptance of what is termed "revival", "outpouring" "blessing" that is equated with the work of the Holy Spirit.

You said, "First of all, I said nothing about Christians having to do rituals.
It's very simple: This is how a true believer loves the 10 commandments.
End quote.
Momsage I wasn't referring to Christians when I mentioned the rituals.
I said, "Our worship of God is directed by our love for Him, Not by Command and rituals".
I was contrasting the way the Samaritan woman knew as worship, which is the way Israel worshipped in the OT.
That is what the Lord was telling her. These were the ceremonial practices.
There were commands given concerning the Moral law, Ceremonial law, and Judicial law.
The ceremonial laws seem to focus the attention on God.
They include instructions on regaining right standing with God. ("sacrifices and other ceremonies regarding "uncleanness"), Remembrances of God's work in Israel. ("feasts and festivals"),
Specific regulations meant to distinguish Israelites from their pagan neighbors ("dietary and clothing restrictions"), and signs that point to the coming Messiah.

God, please do not send me to the hospital, do not let anyone else do it either. the high school graduation of my son is but days away.
Great are the mercies of The Lord, let me not fall into the hands of men.
No high principle, only fear, Master of heaven and earth.
The accident at work was an accident, Father in heaven.
I appeal to thy mercies. I need thy forgiveness and pardon and beg to thee for it.
God of my father, through the Son of God Jesus Christ and thy Spirit of life, heal me of my injuries, that I may do what I said I would do, that I may do good for my son, wife, and family.
With no rightness of my own, only fear, sorrow over my past sin and failure,
Please God, remember the good you have given us and preserve it.
Hold not thy peace at my tears, O God, spare me for thy pardon's sake.
Turn wrath and calamity away from us, Jesus Christ the Healer, let it please thee to be my Advocate also.

I say Amen to everything you have said except we do have to go further with God's commandment then just try. The Holy Ghost is with us so we CAN obey them. If you read then carefully in Exodus 20: 1-17, and Deuteronomy 5:22-33, you will see these are the God's guidelines to how we MUST live our lives for God in order to make it in.
It's very simple: This is how a true believer and the 10 commandments are related to each other.
1) True believers worship the one true God and will not have any other Gods to worship.
2) A true believer does NOT make images nor bow down to them.
3) True believers do not take the name of the Lord in vain.
4) True believers set aside one day for rest.
5) A true believer always gives respect and shows kindness to all people but especially to parents. 6) A true believer does not
murder
7) A true believer does not have sex with anyone in person or in mind except their spouse.
8) A true believer does not steal
9) A true believer does not lie (not matter how big or little a lie is or what color it is, a lie is a lie)
You said: "Our worship of God is directed by our love for Him, Not by Command and rituals.
First of all, I said nothing about Christians having to do rituals.. You are separating the love of God from His commandments as if there is something wrong but God said in John 14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments."

I had an elder brother in the faith; who I respect very much challenge me today in regard to always trying to understand certain concepts; today the issue specifically was in regard to the passages that state "I never knew you" after all the self proclaimed actions of the individuals only showed they did things in their own power or God worked despite that. I was told not to focus on WHY so much and concentrate on my own walk; devotions; evangelism; etc. It was brought to my attention that he knew someone who was downcast after hoarding an entire room of perhaps hundreds of books (I assume not Bibles per se) to get certain answers.
I thought but after a couple attempts to explain I gave up (and the service was about to start) that I was genuinely seeking answers to scripture; and did note that he had a bad experience with the Charismatic and Pentacostal crowd in the past (who I was busy explaining had a differing view on the Trinity). I was bringing up a point which I tried to explore here; as to why those who are into the Oneness Gospel often have a couple other traits. I bring this up because perhaps he was warning me of hanging out with that crowd and not trying to figure out what goes on there. It seems from what I could gather that he was saying that emotionalism wasn't something to be counted upon in general.
In regard to this site and my postings; I am concerned of my own motives as well as the time spent discussing various doctrinal issues primarily as being something I am doing for my own entertainment or just to get attention. I certainly enjoy the company here albeit there is usually only a few who respond at least regularly. I do have a desire to warn against the subtle devices of the enemy; as well as how news especially internationally is skewed and attempt to present it from a Biblical viewpoint not just what necessarily is accepted as "Christian".
Should my focus change on what I discuss here? Insight?
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off (crucified), but not for Himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (the esoteric and kabbalistic false messiah- John 5:43-47 combined with Revelation 13:11) shall DESTROY the CITY (Jerusalem) and the SANCTUARY-> Revelation 13:2->the dragon, the esoteric false messiah of Judaism- Revelation 13:11 gave(will give) him (will give to the Beast of sea-ruler of Catholicism) his Power, and his Throne, and great Authority.; and the END thereof shall be with a flood( Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2; Revelation 12:15?), and unto the END of the WAR ( Revelation 16:13-15) desolations are determined.
27 And he (the profane prince of Israel that shall come- Ezekiel 21:25, John 5:43-47; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 13:11) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week(covenant with the whole religious structures of the RCC-Judaism and Catholicism- Revelation 13:2): and in the midst of the week( Revelation 13:5) he- the profane wicked prince of Israel, the false messiah- shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease ( 2Thessalonians 2:6-9), and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation ( Revelation 16:13-15), and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Heaven
" For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."(Ps.119:89)
"Forever"refers to Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today and forever."(He.13:8) Thy word is eternal that determines the coveneant between the Father and the Son as everlasting. Moses was a servant whereas Jesus Christ as the Son is the fulfillment of Law. Thus blessings stipulated in the covenant is for all believers where faith determines his pedigree. "And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her./The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there." In his Son every believer has hs foundation in heaven. That is faith. His works is his life. "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."(2 Ti.2:19; John 1:4). In Jesus he abides. " In him was life; and the life was the light of men." So his life of witnessing is here and now while he is founded on Zion in heaven. Nothing less.
Heaven also signifies his life of testimony. Trinity as memorial must be as a sign. "And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes."(De.6:6) Jesus of Nazareth showed holiness of God with his life. His testimony as evident in the multiplying loaves was as testimony to the Word forever settled in heaven.
Having covered the Salvation Plan in broad brushstrokes I shall now attend to the everlasting covenant verse by verse.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
In the beginning refers to Jesus Christ in his Alpha Aspect. In the beginning was the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God./The same was in the beginning with God./All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made./ In him was life; and the life was the light of men." God as a Being has his order. Two worlds which are framed by the Word. In He.11:3 we have these worlds defined as unseen as well as seen. Faith is the quality of Holiness of invisible Being seen. "Be ye holy for I am holy" sets Jesus Christ in focus. "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption."(1 Co.1:3o) Jesus is real since the wisdom of the Word renders holiness of God as doable. Wisdom principle that the Son represents and Power of God, the Father gives us the order. The two worlds forever exist upon this order.
When the Word became flesh, death of Jesus revealed the Power of the Father."Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."(Ac.2:24)
Word as the eternal word forever settled in heaven validates the Omega aspect of Jesus Christ (Ps.110:89) Two worlds framed by the word of God set an order where Power of God and Wisdom of the Son establish the definition of holiness which man may enter only by faith and nothing else.Thus God the Father represents the spirit aspect of Trinity; God the Son the body and the brightness of His glory the soul or the heart of God.
Anyway Momsage, thank you for your time & interest in this important subject. I can see that we won't find agreement concerning the reason & implications for the giving of the Decalogue. And for me to discuss what you have just written would require much more time, so I will withdraw for now. Every blessing upon you.
Last in this series let us look what it is to be 'That God may be all in all.' So the superscription refers to the day of regeneration. "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power."(v.24). St Paul refers to the saying of Jesus and rounding off the Spirit of truth in his ministry. "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."( John 14:2-23)
Jesus refers to it as 'In that day'. Remember the body aspect of Trinity as a memorial? It covers the heaven the earth and the lower parts. Here we read how all enemies to Christ have been finally disposed off. "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works./And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death./And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."(Re.20:13-15) The sea giving up the dead is fulfillment of this verse, "The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever."(Ps.29:10)The term forever refers to the Son. "that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.in" This is what God 'be all in all' signifies.
Before that to happen we have this verse in the Book of Isaiah to consider. "And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."(Is.2:4)
"And the nations of the which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it."(Re.21:24)
I am praying for you. Amen

Great are the mercies of The Lord, let me not fall into the hands of men.
No high principle, only fear, Master of heaven and earth.
The accident at work was an accident, Father in heaven.
I appeal to thy mercies. I need thy forgiveness and pardon and beg to thee for it.
God of my father, through the Son of God Jesus Christ and thy Spirit of life, heal me of my injuries, that I may do what I said I would do, that I may do good for my son, wife, and family.
With no rightness of my own, only fear, sorrow over my past sin and failure,
Please God, remember the good you have given us and preserve it.
Hold not thy peace at my tears, O God, spare me for thy pardon's sake.
Turn wrath and calamity away from us, Jesus Christ the Healer, let it please thee to be my Advocate also.
It's very simple: This is how a true believer and the 10 commandments are related to each other.
1) True believers worship the one true God and will not have any other Gods to worship.
2) A true believer does NOT make images nor bow down to them.
3) True believers do not take the name of the Lord in vain.
4) True believers set aside one day for rest.
5) A true believer always gives respect and shows kindness to all people but especially to parents. 6) A true believer does not
murder
7) A true believer does not have sex with anyone in person or in mind except their spouse.
8) A true believer does not steal
9) A true believer does not lie (not matter how big or little a lie is or what color it is, a lie is a lie)
10) A true believer is not jealous. God Bless :)
You said: "Our worship of God is directed by our love for Him, Not by Command and rituals.
First of all, I said nothing about Christians having to do rituals.. You are separating the love of God from His commandments as if there is something wrong but God said in John 14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments."
It's very simple: This is how a true believer loves the 10 commandments

A true believer's connection to the 10 commandments is simply that they obey them.

I had an elder brother in the faith; who I respect very much challenge me today in regard to always trying to understand certain concepts; today the issue specifically was in regard to the passages that state "I never knew you" after all the self proclaimed actions of the individuals only showed they did things in their own power or God worked despite that. I was told not to focus on WHY so much and concentrate on my own walk; devotions; evangelism; etc. It was brought to my attention that he knew someone who was downcast after hoarding an entire room of perhaps hundreds of books (I assume not Bibles per se) to get certain answers.
I thought but after a couple attempts to explain I gave up (and the service was about to start) that I was genuinely seeking answers to scripture; and did note that he had a bad experience with the Charismatic and Pentacostal crowd in the past (who I was busy explaining had a differing view on the Trinity). I was bringing up a point which I tried to explore here; as to why those who are into the Oneness Gospel often have a couple other traits. I bring this up because perhaps he was warning me of hanging out with that crowd and not trying to figure out what goes on there. It seems from what I could gather that he was saying that emotionalism wasn't something to be counted upon in general.
In regard to this site and my postings; I am concerned of my own motives as well as the time spent discussing various doctrinal issues primarily as being something I am doing for my own entertainment or just to get attention. I certainly enjoy the company here albeit there is usually only a few who respond at least regularly. I do have a desire to warn against the subtle devices of the enemy; as well as how news especially internationally is skewed and attempt to present it from a Biblical viewpoint not just what necessarily is accepted as "Christian".
Should my focus change on what I discuss here? Insight?

When we think of worship we often don't touch the surface of what it really means.
God bless.

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off (crucified), but not for Himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (the esoteric and kabbalistic false messiah- John 5:43-47 combined with Revelation 13:11) shall DESTROY the CITY (Jerusalem) and the SANCTUARY-> Revelation 13:2->the dragon, the esoteric false messiah of Judaism- Revelation 13:11 gave(will give) him (will give to the Beast of sea-ruler of Catholicism) his Power, and his Throne, and great Authority.; and the END thereof shall be with a flood( Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2; Revelation 12:15?), and unto the END of the WAR ( Revelation 16:13-15) desolations are determined.
27 And he (the profane prince of Israel that shall come- Ezekiel 21:25, John 5:43-47; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 13:11) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week(covenant with the whole religious structures of the RCC-Judaism and Catholicism- Revelation 13:2): and in the midst of the week( Revelation 13:5) he- the profane wicked prince of Israel, the false messiah- shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease ( 2Thessalonians 2:6-9), and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation ( Revelation 16:13-15), and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
GOD bless and get ready
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Heaven
" For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."(Ps.119:89)
"Forever"refers to Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today and forever."(He.13:8) Thy word is eternal that determines the coveneant between the Father and the Son as everlasting. Moses was a servant whereas Jesus Christ as the Son is the fulfillment of Law. Thus blessings stipulated in the covenant is for all believers where faith determines his pedigree. "And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her./The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there." In his Son every believer has hs foundation in heaven. That is faith. His works is his life. "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."(2 Ti.2:19; John 1:4). In Jesus he abides. " In him was life; and the life was the light of men." So his life of witnessing is here and now while he is founded on Zion in heaven. Nothing less.
Heaven also signifies his life of testimony. Trinity as memorial must be as a sign. "And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes."(De.6:6) Jesus of Nazareth showed holiness of God with his life. His testimony as evident in the multiplying loaves was as testimony to the Word forever settled in heaven.
Having covered the Salvation Plan in broad brushstrokes I shall now attend to the everlasting covenant verse by verse.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
In the beginning refers to Jesus Christ in his Alpha Aspect. In the beginning was the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God./The same was in the beginning with God./All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made./ In him was life; and the life was the light of men." God as a Being has his order. Two worlds which are framed by the Word. In He.11:3 we have these worlds defined as unseen as well as seen. Faith is the quality of Holiness of invisible Being seen. "Be ye holy for I am holy" sets Jesus Christ in focus. "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption."(1 Co.1:3o) Jesus is real since the wisdom of the Word renders holiness of God as doable. Wisdom principle that the Son represents and Power of God, the Father gives us the order. The two worlds forever exist upon this order.
When the Word became flesh, death of Jesus revealed the Power of the Father."Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."(Ac.2:24)
Word as the eternal word forever settled in heaven validates the Omega aspect of Jesus Christ (Ps.110:89) Two worlds framed by the word of God set an order where Power of God and Wisdom of the Son establish the definition of holiness which man may enter only by faith and nothing else.Thus God the Father represents the spirit aspect of Trinity; God the Son the body and the brightness of His glory the soul or the heart of God.
Last in this series let us look what it is to be 'That God may be all in all.' So the superscription refers to the day of regeneration. "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power."(v.24). St Paul refers to the saying of Jesus and rounding off the Spirit of truth in his ministry. "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."( John 14:2-23)
Jesus refers to it as 'In that day'. Remember the body aspect of Trinity as a memorial? It covers the heaven the earth and the lower parts. Here we read how all enemies to Christ have been finally disposed off. "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works./And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death./And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."(Re.20:13-15) The sea giving up the dead is fulfillment of this verse, "The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever."(Ps.29:10)The term forever refers to the Son. "that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.in" This is what God 'be all in all' signifies.
Before that to happen we have this verse in the Book of Isaiah to consider. "And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."(Is.2:4)
"And the nations of the which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it."(Re.21:24)
