Right.
Some folks don't need to comment on why they think others say what they say.
Twenty-four is the number of the Priestly Courses as given in 1. Chron. 24:1-19. When David distributed the Priests into "Courses" he found there were 24 Heads of the Priestly families, and these 24 Heads he made representative of the WHOLE PRIESTHOOD.
The Love of God is not an emotional love like humans. God's love is a fortress. A place of refuge, hope, a rock to stand on, patient, is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrong, God's love always protects, is eternal, Always perseveres, Love is who God is and is a supernatural attribute of God. Yes man is emotional, even an evil man can love his own children. It is not the Love of God. Man does not have it, nor can he on this side. The closes man can come is to die to self and live unto Christ, but until this body is dissolved, God is our fortress. (1 Cor. 13:1-13)
Hi Sister for_his_glory, there is so much to cover in your post I will attempt to reply to segments of its entirety.
I agree with your post, but because some cause confusion, and the pastor should control those out of order, should that have had an effect on Paul as he said in:
I don't know Eugene, I'm Just a little skeptical. I know there are people that if you do not speak in tongues say you are not saved. I always go by the leading of the Spirit. If it gives me pride or magnifies my flesh giving me status in the Church.....I reject it. The Spirit has always given me the joy of sharing or receiving testimony and the victories centered in Christ, true Spiritual fellowship and worship when we meet, taking care of the needy and missionaries to spread the gospel. The Church is much more than just about me, how much more joy there is when someone receives the light of God in Jesus Christ than that I could speak tongues.I agree with your post, but because some cause confusion, and the pastor should control those out of order, should that have had an effect on Paul as he said in:
1Co 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
1Co 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
When me, my wife and kids began attending a Pentecostal service, there was a young woman after the meeting up in a corner of the altar and choir area praying quietly in tongues that my wife heard while also praying near her, and my wife being Spanish recognized the language as Spanish. Later my wife asked the young woman about it and she said she did not know Spanish at all. Why did this occur? I do not know, but for my wife's faith possibly.
A friend from Old USSR Russia came to Church and heard another saint speaking in her native Kazakh language of Kazahkstan, she asked them about it and they too said they didn't know that language. On things I truly do not fully understand, I hesitate to question unless it was causing undue confusion.
I disagree with this also. Let me ask it using this following scenario.
Hi Eugene, I did not agree with it, I was just saying, I have been told by those who claim to speak tongues that that proves they were saved and had the Holy Spirit. It was when I answered The Lords calling that I received the Holy Spirit, and it was an action wholly separate of anything I could imagine. It was just like the Lord described it (John 3:7-8). And there is plenty of times I wish I could speak in different tongues to witness to foreigners. But all I could do was to smile and treat them in the Spirit of Christ to witness. It is funny how we try to do the work of the Lord by the will of the flesh. A Baptist Church I went to would have a day to go witness in the neighborhood and they would have a day to train those how to witness. There were many different techniques that were suggested (works of the flesh). But the more I grew in God's grace and the more intimate I became with the Lord, the more the Spirit witnessed through me. Witnessing should never be a carnal action. Saul never witnessed for God....But Paul did. Saul of Tarsus was a devout Jew (a Pharissee) (Philippians 3:4-6), But Paul of Christ (Acts Chapter 9) (Acts 13:13) was Christ in him (Gal. 2:20).
Hi Sister for_his_glory, there is so much to cover in your post I will attempt to reply to segments of its entirety.
When to you does John see Jesus in this scenario? Right or wrong, my notes in the KJV New Scofield says Revelation was written in 95 AD.
John says in Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Is this time point future to the Day of the Lord when Jesus receives His throne in Rev 4:2, or back there in 95 AD. To me, when Jesus takes the throne given Him things begin to happen, and there are two portions of the Church present with Him. How do they get there? They have crowns, and since we’re reading of the Church there are only two portions of the Church that are said to have crowns, and they are the Smyrna saints of Rev 2:10, and the Philadelphia saints of Rev 3:10. This to me seems to fit the pattern of 1 Thes 4:16-17 of the dead being raised first, and then those who are alive caught up together with them to meet the lord in the air. Has this already occurred to you?
Does this disagree with John 6:40 which you posteed in Reply #54? “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” When is this to you?
I stop here for the time being and await your reply.
There are heavenly things from above that are patterns for the things of God here on earth.
Would not love be action and emotion of our heart when we realize the love God has for us as we have that same compassion for others and help them in their time of need, or are we just to pat people on the back like a Pastor did to me one time and tell them everything will be alright.
Did you punch him?
It is much more than that glory, as Christ makes clear, even an evil man can have compassion and emotion (Matt. 7:11)
One of my favorite questions is to address what the Lord's Day, or the Day of the Lord is. From that point in time there are three viewpoints addressed in Rev 1:19. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.
Really? In Rev 4:1 we read: Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. Was John actually caught up in spirit to heaven to observe things to occur hereafter from that point in time of the Lord's Day? You mention an angel; do you know who Jesus' angel of Rev 1:1 is, and where it was? Again it gets too long to keep up with in one post, so I'll only address portions of your post, and attempt to reply to the other parts on separate replies. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. Wasn't our Father's throne always in heaven?
