Isaiah 6:8

Moved. The Welcome section is not a place to debate Christianity.

He reminds me of Nick Vujicic

Yes, lets not derail my thread. Mizzdy is correct, per the words of Jesus, Now are we still under the oppression of the Law? That is another story altogether, and for another thread. So again back to my original OP... I was reading the book of Judges. It seemed that for a long time, they would make it 30 or 40 years, sin, get taken over, have a judge rescue them, and then they would sin again. I am wondering if they ever really got a chance to honor the Year of Jubilee, Not through the Old Testament yet but just something I noticed. So perhaps it was never celebrated due to Israel never holding on to the laws of God long enough? Perhaps when he returns it will be the fulfillment of the rest and freedom? Also, since almost everything in the old testament was foreshadowing of Christ and the church, what does it represent to us, how in a word was it prophetic?

I don't know about that. If many refused to give up land, that doesn't mean everyone did. But as for the Lord returning in the year of Jubilee, I would say that to assume that you can somehow predict Christ's return is foolish and dangerous. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 and 2 Peter 3:10 say that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, and Matthew 24:36 says that no one but the Father knows when that day will come. Oh, no, never predict I don't do that. I don't think Mizz is either, its more of a during a year of Jubilee. that could be 1000, years form now, it could be tomorrow , that not what I am saying, Just that its likely to be in a Jubilee year, and if not It will be the fulfilment of the type and shadow it is of the real thing.

I personally love his works My Favourite's are, "Mere Christianity" and "The Four Loves" I enjoy his fiction works as well, and I really want to read "The Screwtape letters" again as It was about 15 years ago since, but I remember he made good points, your thoughts?

Okay, what I heard that the Year of Jubilee was never FULLY Honoured. Often times in name, and in part, but many refused to give up land purchased from others that sold out of desperation, The forgiveness of debts and the Freeing of slaves. These things were not held on to in full, again this is a sermon I heard some 15 years ago. I heard that, as Mizzdy has already said that when the Lord returns it will be in the year of jubilee, and it would be the the first time where it was a full honouring of such.

Exactly o heard they were never honored!

Reading through the Old testament Law, I was reading about the year of Jubilee, I slightly remember someone stating that it has never happened. Has it happened and what is the significance?

thank you izzy this does makes sense Gbu too Welcome.

Amen Neb!

It rained on me!!! Could not watch!!! oh well I'll just have to catch the next one!

Praying!

Turtle, there is nothing wrong with quoting a single verse to encourage or uplift. Sometimes the Lord speaks to us with but a single word of scripture. No worries my friend. What I was addressing is people, (not you) who assume they can make there theology anything they want, by simply cutting a small portion of scripture way out of context, and making it mean what they want, not what the word actually says. I have seen some people twist the word to state that we are god, and god is us. That is twisting the word!

Very cool....

Very good point.

Wow! Already that time of year?
