Good afternoon. I'm writing to make sure that I have the correct verses for our up and coming study? Our study will be proverbs 24 and verses 11 and 12, then 13 through 14? This will help me be better prepared in the study next week and in the taking of my notes. Thanks. In Christ's Service. Timothy. Federal Aviation Adminastration Safety Team Service Provider.

I wrote this on or around Monday, April 14, 2014, 3:30 PM. I believe it was an email, but I don't remember to whom. I'm sending it here because it seems relevant to last week's discussion. I actually forgot I wrote this until I found it today while cleaning up old files. Your question was, "How do You view God and his expectations of you?" This was headed with the title, "What does it mean to be Christian?" First, we have at least two very succinct answers from the Bible itself on what is asked of us: 1. Micah 6:8 (old testament): ... what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? 2. Luke 10:27 (new testament, but also there are versions at Mark 12:30-31 and of the first half in Deuteronomy 6:5): And he answering said, "`Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.'" Then we have my thoughts on your question, what does it mean to be Christian: - To do what is required of us above. - To live lives that translate Jesus' request, "Do you love me? Feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17) into examples of how to live. (I believe "feed" here means first to teach by example, then the more basic/material meanings that can include.) But all this is to living as a mathematical theorem like associativity is to the problem of shopping for groceries: Great on paper, but rather abstract for clear application. And therein lies the big problem I see in Christianity today: Translating the above into practice is being done in myriad ways, by myriad divisions of church. To answer more specifically the question "How should we live" invites more discord than unity in many cases. I personally try to make choices in my life by the following means, and I submit that this is the best answer to your compound question I can provide at all quickly: 1. Pray for guidance and strength. The lines we have come to know as the Serenity Prayer might sum this part up best: " God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference." 2. Ask of an option before me, does it show love, kindness, mercy, justice - or something else? 3. Consider the things Jesus did, according to the testimonies we have; and see if any of them appear to be examples of what I should do. I find here, incidentally, that many of Jesus' responses to the challenges of His day broke free of the bounds laid out by his questioners: witness the discussion of marriage and what happens to that after death (Matthew 22:23-33, Mark 12:18-27, Luke 20:27-40). I take this as encouragement to think outside the confines of how the world thinks. 4. And finally, perhaps unfortunately, pray for forgiveness and help when I yet fail to choose wisely before I act. :-) In conclusion, I will mention a comment I made many years ago in a Sunday school class: In a discussion of God and how much larger His perspective is than ours, I remarked, "People trying to understand God is like me trying to teach an ant why it can't live in my kitchen." The size of the difference is clear. None of us will get it all right. Knowing that, we have no place from which to say with authority, "I am more right than you." I think this takes from us most effectively the task of judgment of one another, leaving us the task only of showing love, kindness, mercy, and justice, as already said. -- Doug Lee dgl@... http://www.dlee.org "The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it."--Theodore Roosevelt

We talked about this also last week. This is the last of the old files in my cleanup project, promise. Written on or around Monday, March 9, 2015, 4:45 PM. This was to another fellow in a Ventrilo prayer group. I don't remember what sermon it refers to by now. I agree with the sermon that Bible interpretation is subject to culture and other influences, and that history is one of those influences and often a good one to look at. I also believe, though, that the only way to obtain an accurate interpretation of the Bible is to pray for help getting one, because I have seen proof, including the above, that translation issues do exist. I say again to you though, I fear to respond to your inquiries for fear of further confusing rather than enlightening you. You seek absolutes, as I once did. I would even venture to say that you would be happier if the scientific method could successfully elucidate the mysteries of God, the Bible, Christianity, etc. But faith and proof are alternate roads, not equal ones. We are indeed given evidence, and that evidence does prove to some of us, individually. But if God were to have chosen to make everything provable by some worldwide-accepted standard, where would we have need for faith at all? But because you, like many and maybe once like me, naturally feel inclined to seek absolute proof, I write the following, admittedly long text, in case it might help you. I cannot tell you definitively why God chose to do things this way, providing evidence but not absolute proof; though I can offer a simple theory - simple in concept, though I must write a bit before I can explain it. First the theory, then the explanation: My theory: I believe God chose to give us evidence but not indisputable proof because God wants to be sought and believed, and loved, via faith. All that follows in this chat message is my explanation, and why I accept that theory as valid and the behavior of God it portrays as reasonable behavior. Faith and love have this in common: They are based on a leap from what we can see to what we believe. I cannot love you solely based on what I see, for that will change. Neither can I know what you will be tomorrow, though I may have faith in that you will still love me. Is there really any one of us who can say truly that we have never wanted to challenge another's love for us? Wanted to see proof, as it were, that the love is real? Yet how do we prove love, except by denying something? Among people, it is unwise to do this too often, surely (there are verses about that, too; ask and I can find if you like). So I believe God has given us many freedoms, ultimately free will; but then said in effect, "Who among my creations will truly love Me?" I then believe God has "asked" us not by telling us to speak our answers, but by giving us the means to demonstrate them through our responses to what we are, and are not, given. I accept the above theory as valid because, as should be true in the scientific method, it fits the evidence I've seen: Many have tried proving God's existence irrefutably but have not done so to the satisfaction of everyone. If we accept God's existence as defined in the Bible, then we must accept that He could, if He chose, provide such irrefutable proof at will. I accept the behavior described by this theory as reasonable simply because, as God's creations, we are reasonably subject to God's will for us. I am therefore greatful to God for choosing to be kind to me. In worldly terms, I consider myself God's property, both by creation and then again by my own free choice to remain so after God gave me that choice. God has, in my view, challenged me to love Him without being able to build an absolute foundation first, and I have accepted, and found it possible, truly, to do so. It did not happen overnight for me, nor in a single pivotal moment; but I consider my love for God real, and I hope I show it well enough for others to agree.

I want your opinion. I'm currently copying the book of Ezra. In chapter 3 it has "instructed in the law of Moses" I changed it to "instructed in the law God gave Moses".

Matthew 5_11 by robert Wright inspired by God NLT Mat 5:11 "God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are My followers. Easy to Read Version Mat 5:11 "People will insult you and hurt you. They will lie and say all kinds of evil things about you because you follow me. But when they do that, know that great blessings belong to you. What more can be said about this verse? Basically it says that when we are given a hard time, lied on, criticized about our belief in yeshua we should know that we are blessed. because it is happening just because of who we believe in. It doesn't mean that god does not help us through other situations that we go through. It specifically means that in our endeavours to lift up the kingdom of god we will have times when we will be pressured to give him up. these pressures may even come from our own family members.Despite these pressures he wants us to be steadfast in our beliefs.

Proverbs 24:11-12 (NKJV) Deliver [those who] are drawn toward death, And hold back [those] stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, ¡°Surely we did not know this,¡± Does not He who weighs the hearts consider [it?] He who keeps your soul, does He [not] know [it?] And will He [not] render to [each] man according to his deeds Thoughts from Guzik. Deliver those who are drawn toward death: The idea is of those who are on their way towards destruction, those stumbling to the slaughter. If we have the opportunity, we should deliver them, to hold back their progress to slaughter. i. Those who are drawn toward death: ¡°These could be literal prisoners who have been (presumably wrongfully) condemned to die. The reader is to take extraordinary measures to secure their release (a dramatic modern example would be the extermination of the Jews in Europe during the Second World War). My personal opinion is that this is talking about those who are heading towards death do to their immorality. They live a life of sin and yet expect God to deliver them. As followers of Christ, we have got to evangelize. We have got to warn people that they are on their way to hell if they do not accept Jesus as savior. I recognize I'm looking at this from a new testamet prospective but, I also believe that as followers of Christ that we should do that as we are on this side of the cross. . Esther¡¯s courage saved her people, even when it would have been easy for her to ignore her duty. What are we as the Church doing? Guzik says, : We shouldn¡¯t be indifferent towards those headed toward death. Since they often reject God¡¯s wisdom and are hostile, it is easy to give up on them or ignore them. Yet God, He who weighs the hearts, does know and consider this. This morning I was monitoring KLAL and I heard a plane which failed to respond to air traffic control. This controller didn't give up. He continued and finally reached the pilot. If he would have given up, the plane would have crashed as it was in the pattern on arrival. It would have brought other aircraft down with it. This controler is kind of like how we should be as in we can't give up in reaching that hand of love out to our neighbors. In doing so, we can be a living example of who lives in us which will hopefully get them curious enough to engage us in talks of faith. Sometimes the best way of witnessing is living Christ like lives both in public and private conduct. Moving to verses 13 and 14 we read the following. Proverbs 24:13-14 (NKJV) My son, eat honey because [it is] good, And the honeycomb [which] [is] sweet to your taste; So [shall] the knowledge of wisdom [be] to your soul; If you have found [it,] there is a prospect, And your hope will not be cut off. I found this one section to be quite fascinating. It says to eat honey because it is good but, to much of a good food like honey can be bad. JFB says, As delicious food whets the appetite, so should the rewards of wisdom excite us to seek it. Now I said that to much honey can be bad. Matthew Henri expounds on this very thought as well by stating the following. Honey may be sweet to the taste and yet not wholesome, but wisdom has a future recompence attending it, as well as a present sweetness in it. "Thou art permitted to eat honey, and the agreeableness of it to thy taste invites thee to it; but thou hast much more reason to relish and digest the precepts of wisdom, for when thou hast found that, there shall be a reward; thou shalt be paid for thy pleasure, while the servants of sin pay dearly for their pains. Wisdom does indeed set thee to work, but there shall be a reward; it does indeed raise great expectations in thee, but as thy labour, so thy hope, shall not be in vain; thy expectation shall not be cut off nay, it shall be infinitely outdone." Thinking about this passage from that of an aviation based prospective, honey is good. Think of the honey as if it were knowledge. In aviation, knowledge is power. The more you know about flying, the safer and more enjoyable your experience will be. Whether you are a pilot, a flight attendant, or si

Many questions by Robert doc Wright Inspired by God 1 Peter 1:1 - 4 1Pe 1:1 Greetings from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ. To God's chosen people who are away from their homes?€people scattered all over the areas of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. 1Pe 1:2 God planned long ago to choose you and to make you his holy people, which is the Spirit's work. God wanted you to obey him and to be made clean by the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. I pray that you will enjoy more and more of God's grace and peace. 1Pe 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God has great mercy, and because of his mercy he gave us a new life. This new life brings us a living hope through Jesus Christ's resurrection from death. 1Pe 1:4 Now we wait to receive the blessings God has for his children. These blessings are kept for you in heaven. They cannot be ruined or be destroyed or lose their beauty. Now this is a paraphrase or you might say that it is my view on a pair of prases or more. In Peter's first verse he is greeting God's chosen people. Are you one of God's chosen people? How do you know this? Is it because you have a T-shirt that proclaims this? Or that you attend a church that has thousands of members? what is it about you that says that you are his?! Verse two says that God planned long ago to choose me! to choose you! to make us his chosen people. why? What was his purpose? God wanted us to obey him. Who benefits from our obedience? How does our obedience benefit God? How does our obedience benefit us? Have you ever looke back on your life and asked, how am I still here? How could God love me that much! Its because of his grace and his mercy. When we turned around and began living in obedience God gave us a new life. Now what are we to do with this new life? Do we now say, I made it! Now my work is done. what about those who are out there that are struggling with this decision. What about the ones who still don't know that there is a decision to make/ In Luk 24:47 You saw these things happen?€you are witnesses. You must go and tell people that they must change and turn to God, which will bring them his forgiveness. You must start from Jerusalem and tell this message in my name to the people of all nations. In our case we know what God has done to change our life. Now we must go out and share this treasure with these people who aren't sure, who don't even know that God is more than just a myth. but there is a catch. they need to see this change in you. It has to be more than just the words that we say. they must be able to see it living within us.

Proverbs 24:17-18 (NKJV) 17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; 18 Lest the LORD see [it,] and it displease Him, And He turn away His wrath from him. I want to focus on verse 17. We shouldn't be glad when those who seek to do wrong against us fall. As Christians, we should love them and indeed we should pray for them. There is much more to this verse in proverbs 17 then just the point I'm making here but, it is applicable. Proverbs 17:5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: [and] he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. We shouldn't be glad at the expense of somebody elses calamity. Instead, as I said earlier, we should pray for them. Jesus is quoted in the book of Luke in 6:28, as saying, ¡°bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. Matthew 5:44 records the same thing. We often times feel justified and may say things like oh, about time they get what they deserve but, this is not how we should be as followerrs of Christ. We should instead pray for them and let the Lord do the rest. In verse 18 it talks of God removing his rath away from the wicked man. Guzik says and I think he's perhaps correct when he says, : If God sees our rejoicing over the fall of the wicked, He may turn away His wrath from the wicked man just to rebuke our proud, unloving heart against the wicked man.

The Rapture by R.D.L.A. Wright What a debate followers of jesus have.They even give it temporal label placements. pre-, mid and post. Stories and movies try to depict it. what if! What if all the Rapture is is when someone who has been stumbling in darknesscomes to see the light. that person who had convinced themselves that they had it all in control realizes that the only true control is in God's hands. When you finally figure it out that it was never "my Way" but God's way all along! And you humble yourself, turn to God and say, "i get it!'my way only led me to sin and death. your way leads me to truth and life' so I give it all up for you.

HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE OObservation I Interpretation A Application 2Timothy 2:2 2And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. 2Timothy 2:15 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth. ( A) 1. Observation is discovering what the author is saying, looking specifically at Who who is speaking,Who is being spoken to, What was spoken about, When did this happen i.e. time and season, Where does this take place, is there something significant about where it is taking place? Cause & Effect. This is always the most challenging portion of Bible study, which most people give only cursory attention to (unfortunately). The key to doing Bible study is "Asking God to open our hearts and minds to understanding" What does God expect of us? When we know what is expected then as we read the bible we can see examples of what happens when we remain in God's will and what happens when we decide to go our own way. Go through all of the commandments and se what is expected of us. There are four basic things to look for: their context. - Structure - Look for Grammatical and Literary structure. Grammatical helps us see important info like subject, object, and main verbs. Literary structure reveals clues through recognition of things like questions and answers; cause and effect; etc. - Literary form - are we looking at poetry, narrative, history, or prophecy. - Atmosphere - reveals feeling, mood, tone and environment - what it is like to be in the author's shoes. 2. Interpretation is finding out what he means. The foundation of accurate interpretation is correct observation. This is why much time and diligence should have been given to observation. The more time you give to observation, the less time it will take to do interpretation. Many people rush into interpretation without laying the vital foundation of observation and their understanding becomes colored by "what they think ... what they feel ... the way they see it ... and what others have said . . . . ¡± We must be very careful not to "distort the scriptures to our own destruction" as the "unlearned and unstable" referred to in II Peter 3:16. I. The key is to ask questions: A. As you have observed the passage, you have recorded various questions about the text in the right hand margin of your observation worksheet. B. You might want to go through the text again and ask yourself more questions. C. List all these questions on a sheet of paper. IV. Find the answers to your questions making sure you keep all your interpretation within: A. The main theme of the book B. The occasion of the book C. The passage's place in time and history D. The culture of that period E. The geographic locations referred to F. The atmosphere of the passage VII. Do any necessary word studies and list key definitions. Here's where a Bible Dictionary or Vine's Expository can be extremely helpful. VIII. Check cross-references A. A cross-reference is another Scripture that supports, illumines or amplifies the scripture that you are studying. B. One of the vital elements to consider in Bible study is the comparison of Scripture with Scripture. This is the purpose of doing cross-references. Scripture must agree with Scripture; therefore, any time you seem to find apparent discrepancy in meaning, check your interpretation, for somewhere you have gone amiss. Scripture cannot contradict Scripture. C. When doing cross-references, if you are comparing one word with another word, make sure you have checked the Greek or Hebrew. For example, the KJV takes several different Greek words and translates all of them under the English word "suffer": However, a study of the Greek will show a different meaning or shade of meaning for each one. So, make sure you are comparing "likes". D. The procedure of checking cross-references: 1. Use the reference system in your Bible (with discretion), a topical Bible, or a concordance and look up related Scriptures. 2. Car
