in what way do you feel this has been ignored?

I know it has, to a point..... in what way do you feel it has????

i know that God directed an image to be created and placed upon a staff, and if a person was bitten by a serpent, they could look at it and they would be healed..... that is until the people started "worshiping" it at which time it was destroyed.

fill us in on how you feel it is being ignored, we might line up on this subject.

Ok....let me say this first.....this is what I believe to be the truth.....if no one else believes it....I'm ok with that....this my walk and this is what I believe.

No one knows what Christ looks like....but I'd be willing to bet that many of you have a picture of His image somewhere in your home.

These are the Words of God...

Deut. 4

Shalom man,

Uh OK. Now I understand. Wonder why it took you so long to get to the ACTUAL question?? :laugh:

Anyway, I DON'T agree and I have several pictures of Jesus hanging up and they are wonderful witnessing tools.

And no, I'm not "ignoring" Scripture, I happen to interpret those verses differently than you and I don't believe that having an artist's picture of Messiah is corrupt.

But, if you ever came over to my home, I would take them down, so as not to offend you. :th_praying:

Man.. are you talking about things like a eye for an eye verses turm the other cheek?

or the physical fact that we need not send a priest into the holy of holies with a long rope attached with bells in hopes he is not being struck dead verses Jesus being our great high priest and we have access into the holy of holies because of the Blood Jesus shed on the cross?

These should not be ignored because things are different. We should acknowledge them for what has beed done for us.

I also liken the physical priest going into the holy of holies as I mentioned above who fear and trembled to those who may not have their lives correct with God and can be struck down by anything without being ready.( like a truck, lightening, a stroke, etc)

The OT priests did not tremble for those who were in sins and their lives not being corrected would be struck down by anything. Your view of the priest is not correct. All the children of Israel was guilty of sin already as this was the yearly atonement which when the priests came out of the Holy of holies alive then the guilt of their sins was removed as the atonement sacrifice was accepted. This was the only time of year the children of Israel found release from their sins but yet righteousness was still not attained. That only came through our Great High Priest Jesus Christ as he sprinkled his own blood on the mercy seat once and for all.

The OT priests were responsible to go through all the cleansing processes according to the laws of God that had been given them and if they missed one part of those laws in cleansing themselves before entering in the Holy of holies then that is when the priest would end up dead in the Holy of holies. That is why the priests would tremble if they did because they were afraid for their own lives and knew that God's people wouldn't find atonement for their sins that year.

excuse me openly curious...A string with bells attached were used in instances. If they rang the bells and the priest attached did not ring back they would know something was wrong. Since they were not able to go into the holy of holies to get the priest out, my info comes from a messianic Born again teacher who comes from the levitical line..confirmed by bloodwork. This has been abolished by Christs death. Matthew 27:51 and now we can go boldly in~~~~Heb. 10:19 if you are a believer. and if you sit at the wedding banquet table in a dirty garment you will be thrown out.

..... Ok....let me say this first.....this is what I believe to be the truth.....if no one else believes it....I'm ok with that....this my walk and this is what I believe..... I was simply wondering why these scriptures are ignored......and they are ignored.....you can't argue that.

Ignored

Who Would Ignore What The LORD Said

"He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" Micah 6:8

And Who Would Accuse The Brethren

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1

:24:

Who Is The Captain Of My Heart

Self-Righteous Law Keeping

"For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death." Romans 7:5

Or The Lover Of My Soul

"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen." Jude 1:24-25

And The Holy Ghost

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:2

Thank You Jesus

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

Just Believe

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Him

"Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you." John 15:3

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! (From The Katrina Song)

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Savior! Savior! Savior!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Healer! Healer! Healer!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Hallelujah!

Amen!

:24:

Please Do Not To Let Spiritual Pride Try To Set Up It's Hate-Filled Self-Image In The Heart Of Grace Dear Ones.

'T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.

And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come;

'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far

and Grace will lead me home." http://www.constitution.org/col/amazing_grace.htm

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Be Blessed Beloved Of The LORD

Grace To You

Love, Joe

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
