Murphy

I encourage you to study an ancient Hebrew wedding. You'll understand that it is the requirement of the bridegroom to prepare a place for the bride. This is not a reference to heaven.

Your translation threw me....... A Superior Priesthood …15And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”… Transfer of power from the Levitical system to the Hight Priest, Yahshua. We see here that the Priesthood will be restored after the return of Messiah (also we see that sacrifices return) Jeremiah 33 17 “For thus says the Lord: David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, 18 and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever.”

If the adversary of God makes war with God's people, the people of God who keep his Commandments and have the testimony of the Savior.......well then.......I'm ready. IOW's, what better way to be identified?

This has not yet happened, it will. The New Covenant is actually described in the Tanakh. Ezekiel 11 A Promise of Restoration …16"Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Though I had removed them far away among the nations and though I had scattered them among the countries, yet I was a sanctuary for them a little while in the countries where they had gone."' 17"Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."' 18"When they come there, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations from it.… We are still scattered. Jeremiah 32:37 "Behold, I will gather them out of all the lands to which I have driven them in My anger, in My wrath and in great indignation; and I will bring them back to this place and make them dwell in safety. In bold......the qualifiers, shows that this has not yet happened.

Is your statement of faith under every post? or is this directed at me? To answer your question, I do not fit into a spam can, no labels. I simply study the Word as it is presented to me. To understand me- Rev 12:17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring--those who keep God's commands and hold fast their testimony about Yahshua. Sorry if I misunderstood your intent. Hello.

I no longer attend any funerals, for this reason.

Well, I disagree, if you are addressing me? The transgression is that of the harlot, adultery, for which God divorced Israel. All men are carnal, regardless.

I doubt Murphy has any biblical value. But I assure you my lineage comes out of the tribe of Dan.

There are thee laws to concern yourself with, man's law, Pharisaical law, Torah or God's Law, or instruction. Do you realize that Torah, instruction, came out of the Garden? Here- Genesis 26:5 5Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. That which people commonly refer to as Mosaic Law is actually the Ketubah or marital contract. Yahovah/God married Israel on Mt Sinai. Learn to discern between which laws are being spoken of.

There you are again, calling into question my Faith!!!!!!!!!!! Present this to the site owner, or I will. I want to address him directly after you do.

I'm well aware. This is not the time to discuss whether or not Yahshua was even a sacrifice, which I do not believe he was, for numerous reasons. A 'covering' for one transgression? Yes, but not a sacrifice. Some other time.

No, I did not take Scripture out of context. Yahovah states clearly that child sacrifice is an abomination. This is a subject that my wife and I struggle over, something that we have not yet resolved. As for the OP's question....All Scripture must be examined and searched out, always, that was my point.

I'll answer your question directly- I worship Yahovah/Yahshua, the god of the bible, the All Mighty, the Creator. You will read in Scripture that the 'blood is the Life'. Why? The brain is the one organ that cannot live without blood for any length of time, without a flow of blood the brain will die instantly. Here is what Yahovah promises when you study and keep (guard) his commands- Jeremiah 3 Invitation to Repentance …14'Return, O faithless sons,' declares the LORD; 'For I am a master to you, And I will take you one from a city and two from a family, And I will bring you to Zion.' 15"Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you on knowledge and understanding. 16"It shall be in those days when you are multiplied and increased in the land," declares the LORD, "they will no longer say, 'The ark of the covenant of the LORD.' And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it, nor will it be made again.… I am not a fan of Shaul (Paul) but he got this right- Romans 1:28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. Isaiah 1:16 "Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil, We are Commanded to DO Righteousness. When we DO righteousness, here is what is promised- Proverb 3 Blessed is He who Finds Wisdom …23Then you will walk in your way securely And your foot will not stumble. 24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. 25Do not be afraid of sudden fear Nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes;… Doing Righteousness eases the conscience, eases the MIND. Study and DO, be at peace.

Strange you should mention Abraham to sacrifice Issac. Major conflict here- Jeremiah 19:5 4"Because they have forsaken Me and have made this an alien place and have burned sacrifices in it to other gods, that neither they nor their forefathers nor the kings of Judah had ever known, and because they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent 5and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, a thing which I never commanded or spoke of, nor did it ever enter My mind; 6therefore, behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the valley of Ben-hinnom, but rather the valley of Slaughter.… Jeremiah 32:35 …34"But they put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 35"They built the high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I had not commanded them nor had it entered My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. 36"Now therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning this city of which you say, 'It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine and by pestilence.'… Jeremiah 7:31 The Valley of Slaughter 30"For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight," declares the LORD, "they have set their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 31"They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, and it did not come into My mind. 32"Therefore, behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when it will no longer be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of the Slaughter; for they will bury in Topheth because there is no other place.… Psalm 106:38 And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with the blood. 2 Kings 17:17 Then they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and practiced divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him. 2 Kings 23:10 He also defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire for Molech.

One of the lessons I had to learn........ The Scriptures were written to another people at another time. You need to study the culture also. The Word is abundantly clear on every issue you mentioned, except gun control directly, of course. On the issue of gun control......practice, practice, practice.

What you have described is an unfaithful spouse, he calls himself 'rover'. And you assume his identity by calling yourself 'rover'. Very strange.
