Line Upon Line - The Shocking Truth

Jesus energetically twice defended and cleaned the Temple of God from indignation and greed. He knew the current leadership of his nation had allowed shysters to use the Temple for financial fraud

Solomon's many foreign wives seduced him into also worshiping pagan gods. Therefore God cursed Israel and tore ten tribes away from the nation.

Anytime you want to figure out how to do anything you want to today you can usually find a walk through on the internet for it, from building furniture to fixing your car or tractor or getting through a tough part of a video game. How do we start to explain our doctrine, our knowledge of the Bible? How do we find out if God is calling someone?

WHAT IS PAUL TELLING US? IS HE CONDEMNING PARTS OF THE BIBLE?

Jesus when asked about the signs pointing to his return and the end of this age He said look for the desecration of the Temple which then stood in Jerusalem. The disciples were in awe of the Temple which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world at one point. Christ shocked them and said:

The First Resurrection is for those being saved by the new covenant started after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Believers in our day are scheduled for this great event at the second coming of the Messiah.

History of mankind proves that appeasement always ends in disaster. Giving in to evil encourages all the more evil. Appeasing evil dictators or evil pagans or criminals only makes matters worse.

Did the Jews crucify Christ? No! We all were responsible.

One can read through the entirety of the New Testament and find no mention of any alterations or cancellations of the Sabbath Law. None!

Jesus wants believers to help with the harvest. The general public either needs to have seeds of truth planted within them or when ready, have the gospel presented to them successfully. This is obviously not an easy task. We all know this but, Christ still has given us the commission.

This week we'll be talking about faith

The world will soon see a vacuum of power with the economic and military decline of American hegemony. What and who will fill that power vacuum?

When the Holy Day of Pentecost that Israelites had been celebrating for many centuries came after the resurrection of Jesus in Jerusalem, great power became available to many for the first time. This Holy Day is the one chosen by God to birth his new covenant church in spiritual power, because it is the feast of first fruits. We are first fruits.

One of the the newest and most revealing scientific discoveries is the value of information input into all living cells. This includes both plants and animals. Every single cell in the body of any animal contains vast amounts of crucial data.

All historians would agree that Jesus is the most selfless servant leader in all known records. Jesus taught all the world that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. His criticism of the leadership of His nation is a case in point. He told the people at risk to himself, of the bad examples they were setting.

King Jeroboam betrayed God. Additionally, we need to see the full depth of this betrayal from God's perspective. The Northern Kingdom was highly at risk. Why? His actions brought apostasy. What were the crucial elements in this betrayal of God?

We may not understand all things done by deity but one must study God's word with this premise. God is always right!

Atone, in English, means literally "at one". The Day of Atonement represents the time in history when all humanity will at last be at one with God. Only a small number of defiant sinners will have to be turned into ashes. Mankind in the future will no longer be separated from God. We will be part of his family.

THE BIBLE WARNS ABOUT CRYING WOLF! WOLF! REGARDING THE END OF THE AGE

The obvious problem is that if this is the only day of salvation, billions are now assigned to hell.

The Apostle Paul reminds the gentile believers in Galatia that true worship goes back to Abraham in his struggle to save them from the Judaizing extremists. Paul reminds them that the covenant with Abraham is the starting point. The true worship of the true God goes back to father Abraham.

If we truly want to understand the new testament we must understand how the church is viewed.

Paul is NOT speaking of the normal passing of human beings as most of the pagan world around them saw it. He is informing the believers not to worry as others do about their loved ones. Some pagans thought the dead were gone for good. Note how Paul alleviates the fears and grief of the believers.

Jesus' sacrifice is clearly divided into two portions. One is his body and the other is his life. We know that the life is in the blood of all beings. Medics have to try hard to prevent the sick and wounded from bleeding out or losing too much of their blood. Death follows a loss of blood.

Israel, including the northern ten tribes known as Israel as well as the southern division of Israel are mentioned and warned in end of the age prophesy. Both groups of people exist at the end times. God was so displeased with Solomon that he divided Israel into two houses.
