By nature every person is born in sin through the sinful seed of their natural fathers and conditioned therein ( 1 Peter 1:23). For that reason and in order to become a son of God, which are born of God, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God, a person must be 'Born Again' ( John 1:12,13; 3:3-7; 1 John 3:9; 5:4).
By attending a man-made institution a few hours a week ( Acts 7:48; 17:24), does not mean that a person can make a claim that they are followers of Christ and 'Born Again'. That is falsehood, as in truth they follow after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; Rev. 12:9). This is how Satan has transformed Himself into an angel of light ( 2 Cor. 11:13-15).
Only through 'True Repentance' will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1).
The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).
For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17).
You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), It is only by revelation of God that you will come to know Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).
God promises us eternal life but you can't expect the road to be easy in getting there. It seems that the prosperity gospel is what you have been listening to? Empty yourself of "self" and ask God "what can I do for you today" not "what can God do for me today", if we are too full of "self" then there is no room for God.
3-5 speaks to the eunuchs, those that could call themselves a broken branch, since they could have no off-spring in a society firmly based upon family. There are historical sources about those, and they could often be found in the courts as advisors of the rulers, since they did not have children and therefore did not threaten the order of the dynasty. Similar to the indian tradition of hijrahs.
Why cant God promise me anything? Why is he always talking about how good its gonna be after what seems like our lifetime will be over? Let me ask you this.. WHERE is God in my lifetime to be my Father like he promised? Was he with the disciples when they gave their lives up? Did he prosper them like they were his people? They left their famlies, and jobs for him. Then what was their reward?
God embraces everyone who come to Him with all their lives knowing that He has done everything for mankind to bring him her back to Himself through the shedding of the precious blood of His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have life in abundance amen. Isaiah 56 says it all, that none is denied the chance to become a child of God through the covenant.
1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. ( in 2018, verse 1-2, GOD is still very clear about what HE want
1 Corinthians 6:9 9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind
Dj, In Christ we can live each day in holiness, but only God can make a day holy. He did that with only one day. Certainly God led you to read Isaiah 56. The Sabbath spoken of there is God's only holy seventh day. It is holy because God made it so. Isaiah 56 prophesies of a day when God's faithful will seek to please God and choose to keep His true Sabbath. Read Revelation 22:14. God is with you.
The Lord is so gracious, I have been trialing for a great long time and the holyspirit spoke to my heart and told me to read Isaiah 56. I obeyed and was blessed, I just want to say the sabbath for a true Christian is everyday, we are speaking of God living and abiding in our heart not just a building although we need to attend a church where truth is preaçhed, demonstration of holyspirit; gifts.
Tiffany, May God bless you for your stand, but - as Ingrid used scripture (wrongly) - we need to use scripture for HIS stand; not for OUR stand, HIS. Everything is in and about JESUS. And ALWAYS pray for His guidance for HIS answers. I have been guilty of just bulling ahead with scripture - without praying first, and NONE of it has done any good - that I can see.
The eunuchs were absolutely not transgender. They were men who had been castrated, that could not have children. Dressing as the opposite sex is forbidden. Same sex relationships were forbidden.
vers 3-5
Runs against the current trend in many churches of how to treat lgbt-people. The eunuchs was the transgenders of the time, and since they got noe chance of bringing forth their own offspring, Isaiah tells quiet clearly what god has in store for those who follow his covenant. No intention read here of pushing them out in the cold.
God love the whole WORLD His Word is for all people. And we have to love every one worldwide just like God. Because Jesus His son died for the whole WORLD. That love.
I's me again, I just read the Whole chapter of Isaiah 56 and found most of my answers in it. This is now another one of my favorite Chapters in the Bible. Praise Our God of Mercy! I'm sorry that I didn't see the answers to my Questions the first time I read it.
And much more abundant, unaware of the coming doom as prophesied in Revelation. The high mindedness of sinners blocks out the truth of God 's word that contains the eternal salvation of billions of souls who believe and submit to the lordship of Jesus Christ our savior.
Starting to finally appreciate the depth in simplicity of the Lord 's words about His House being a house of prayer for all people! When all else fails, we have prayer!
Jesus wants to keep us the Sabbath to spend time with God and to be blessed for all the hard works that we have done for the week. God has commanded us to listen to his words and obey his commandments. Jesus build the church for us so that we can spend a Sabbath in the house of God as Jesus has given the church an authority for praying, recieve his message, its the house of healing and blessing. Blessed are those who will be found in the church obeying and listening God 's words, serving God until rapture. We will be surely raptured as his own people. Jesus is a good Shephered and knows how to protect and feed his sheeps. We as a sheep we must follow Jesus in everything we do. Without Christ in our lives we will be losts and we will know his voice when he will call us during rapture. Thanks be to Jesus for his precious blood that shed for us. Amen
Isaiah tells us how important the Sabbath is to God and to keep it Holy by observing it refraining from doing evil. People who are not Jewish can also please God by observing and keeping the Sabbath.
This is a word being proclaimed to everyone. It doesn't matter what your race, color or nationality might be. This is for ALL PEOPLE. This includes you and I. It excludes no one!
Eunuchs accepted in this time of grace. Sabbath--not the Levitical sabbath; in this context of Sabbath, if it is Levitical, then eunuchs can never be accepted in the house of the LORD.
Brother Tim,
You implied that 'voting for budget cuts that hurt the military that is responsible for protecting the Country is somehow negative.� Where in the Bible does it say we need a massive military, and a 60B/month defence budget? Do you justify the atom bombs, Gulf of Tonkin Incident, Iraq war, 9/11 (not the result but the perpetrators), and so forth which many consider fake? Please let�s remain in the word of God, and separate ourselves from the military and politics. Thanks and all the best.
