30 pieces of Silver..??

[Guest EPHRIAM777]

Why did Jesus get sold for 30 pieces of Silver....Why not 40..or 50..or 12...How come he was sold for 30 pieces..??

Could there be a reason for that..?

They not only refused Him His due, but added insult to injury by giving for Him the price of a gored bond-servant   A freeman was rated at twice that sum.

Exodus  21:32  But if the bull gores a slave, either male or female, the slave's owner is to be given thirty silver coins in payment, and the bull must be stoned.

(Eph. Just as a side note to "my" other attempt at a discussion)  

:sleeping:

Zec. 11:14 Then - So soon as I saw what value they put upon me. I cut asunder - Christ did it really, the prophet did it in the type. Break - Declare it broken. The brother - hood - That friendship which had been among them. Judah - The two tribes, and the remnant of the ten tribes.

Boy, do I feel bad or what.  Yes....I guess you did miss it.  And I 'kind a' let you have it for ignoring it.  It's over in Eschatology.  It's listed on the front page of board right now, can't remember the title.  Sorry Eph....I thought you were ignoring it on purpose.  I won't try to run over and erase it, I'll just say....

I'm sorry.

 Don't forget 1 KINGS 11:29:35...focus on verse 31

In verse 38 comes the "conditions" of this promise..notice the word ""IF""....He then blows it in 1 KINGS 12:25:31...thus having not met the "conditions"...

I will go and look right now, and hopefully   have a comment.

Ok, I did go and look.  Very good study too.

Kinda like the "conditions" in 1 Corinthians 15:2.  Which goes along with the discussion on OSAS.  

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.

But, Eph, why is it that there are many who believe it is different for us NT believers?  We are held just as accountable as the OT believers.  But....the difference is, we have the laws written on our hearts, they did not.  We have the testimony of the Holy Spirit within us, and the power of Jesus Christ who dwells within us to help us deny temptation.

Just wondering?

SEE MATT 22:37:40...also cross reference 1 JOHN 3:23 and 4:21..!

And to love our neighbors, means we should automatically follow the 10 Commandments, it is the essense of loving our neighbors.  That's why Jesus discourses on those things in detail in Matthew 5.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Heb 10:16

"This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,"

Heb 10:26

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth , there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

10:29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant

So thats it..2 commandments..!

Well.....sort of Eph.....

:inlove:

Romans 13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
