Rise up - go to church

[DarkWalker]

Shalom.I heard the locust back in the early days was a saying they use to call the vanilla bean or something. Usually the poorer people of those days use to eat the seeds from those trees. Locust was a common name for the vanilla bean or cocoa bean or something. Ahava in Yeshua.

Peace and love in Christ to you as well.

I had not heard that, though I would disagree, given the use of the word for "locust" (akris) elsewhere in Scripture. It wouldn't make sense for vanilla beans to be that which ravages the Earth in Revelation (see the 9th chapter).

I have read a bit in that thread, not all of it yet. I only read Chops daily posts because everything else gets confusing with everyone posting scriptures all over the place. Its like it will be something on Genesis then someone goes and quotes like heaps of scripture from the NT but honestly i cannot see the pattern or how they connect, and everyone else seems too and is all excited about it.

I just cannot understand scripture. "Behold, the bread of life". To me it sounds like someone holding of a loaf of bread that is alive and breathing. Thats an example of how i read scripture because my literature is bad.

The OT is way more hard to understand. I can read normal stuff and the NT seems a bit easier but still has all these bread of life type words all over the place.

Try proverbs

The locust are described in the dietary laws as well. Leg counting was needed to determine which were clean bugs and which were not. I'm glad the Messiah took care of that, I can eat any bugs I want to. :shock

What bible version are you reading?

I may not know exactly what you mean, Kathi, but I identify with your statement. There are some churches I refuse to go to simply because they remind me too much of other churches I have...endured.

Amen! But I think, for me, it is possibly just the opposite of what Kathi is talking about.

 

[Willie T]

Been to church. Was okay.
Actually I do love my church. But it's getting a bit boring... the same people, the same routine, the same songs....

Am I wrong to hunger for novelty in my church?

I think it depends upon why you want that.

That's where everything is absolute

What does that mean? Absolute?
