Jews That Reject Jesus - Are They Saved?

Bible Questions Answered:
“...at work I know this Jewish guy, and he talks about God, but I am wondering, are the Jewish people going to heaven?...”
Kelly/ New York, New York U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Many people talk about God, many people are called holy, many people talk about heaven, etc. etc.

THE WORD OF GOD: FOR ALL HAVE SINNED

I Kings 8:46 KJV
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,)..."

II Chronicles 6:36 KJV
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,)..."

Job 25:4 NLT
4 How can a mortal be innocent before God? Can anyone born of a woman be pure?

Job 35:2 NLT
Do you think it is right for you to claim,‘I am righteous before God’?

Psalm 14:3 KJV (Psalm 53:3)
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Psalm 51:5 KJV
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Proverbs 20:9 KJV
Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

Isaiah 64:6 KJV
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Jeremiah 2:35 NLT
35 And yet you say, I have done nothing wrong. Surely God isn’t angry with me! But now I will punish you severely because you claim you have not sinned.

Mica 7:2 KJV
The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men..."

Romans 3:10,23 KJV
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 5:12 KJV
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Galatians 3:22 KJV
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

I John 1:8-10 KJV
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and The Truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

Parishioner or prelate, all of sinned and come short of the glory of God!

What did Jesus say?

John 3:3,36 KJV (This is what Jesus told Nicodemus who was a Jewish ruler of the Jews, a Pharisee.)
3 Jesus answered and said unto him (Nicodemus), Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
36 He that believeth on The Son hath everlasting Life: and he that believeth not The Son shall not see Life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 3:16-21 KJV
16 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.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth The Light, neither cometh to The Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth Truth cometh to The Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Prayer:

Isaiah 45:22 KJV
Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

John 8:24 KJV
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.

John 3:36 KJV
He that believeth on The Son hath everlasting Life: and he that believeth not The Son shall not see Life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Bible Lesson: Prophecies And Their Fulfillment: Bible Prophecy: Messiah, Given Gall And Vinegar.

Bible Lesson: Prophecies And Their Fulfillment:

Bible Prophecy: Messiah, Given Gall And Vinegar.

Bible Text:

Psalm 69:21 KJV
They gave Me also gall for My meat; and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink.

Prophecy Fulfillment:

Matthew 27:34
They gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when He had tasted thereof, He would not drink.
Our Lord, was given sour wine (or vinegar), mixed with gall (a bitter ingredient-myrrh).

Mark 15:23
And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but He received it not.

Vinegar (some called it sour wine), was thought to prolong the life of the one suffering, myrrh, to stupefy the senses, as to reduce the pain, but our Lord, desiring to be in His right mind, refused the mixture.

Proverbs 31:6 KJV
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

Our Lord, came to do The Father's will.

Luke 22:42 KJV
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but thine, be done.

II Corinthians 5:21 KJV
For He (God The Father) hath made Him (Christ Jesus, His Son) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed?

Memories

Bible Questions Answered:
“...so I told him, you can't take anything with you when you die...”
Hank/ Tucson, Arizona U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

This hackneyed phrase has been around for some years, and of course it is true, “you'll never see a uhaul behind a hearse.” In other words, you can't take it with you, money, friends, etc. etc. When you leave this world, you take nothing with you.

As great as this idea is, this is not completely true. The fact is you do take “things,” with you when you leave this life.

What we take with us:

* Memories.

* A record of our works we have done, and their reward, good or evil (Not that good works will save us, they can not!)


Memories Of Regret, And Pain:

Psalm 109:14,15 KJV
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with The Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before The Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Deuteronomy 9:7 KJV
Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst The Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against The Lord.

Mark 14:72 KJV
And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

I Corinthians 15:9 KJV
For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

Genesis 41:8,9 NLT
8 The next morning Pharaoh was very disturbed by the dreams. So he called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. When Pharaoh told them his dreams, not one of them could tell him what they meant.
9 Finally, the king’s chief cup-bearer spoke up. “Today I have been reminded of my failure,” he told Pharaoh.

Psalm 137:1 KJV
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

Luke 16:25 KJV
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Dear friend, most assuredly you breezed right on through the most horrific command of God and did not even notice it, so it is repeated here.

Deuteronomy 9:7 KJV
Remember, and forget not,
how thou provokedst The Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against The Lord.

Psalm 109:14,15 KJV
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with The Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before The Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Our God, has commanded that “the lost,” will “forget not, the evil that they have done!

Oh, how the seas of damned souls in hell, if they would have but one request, it would be......
TO FORGET, but that will never be possible!


Memories Of God's People:

Proverbs 10:7 KJV
The memory of the just is blessed..."

Psalm 77:11 KJV
I will remember the works of The Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

II Peter 3:2 NLT
I want you to remember what the holy prophets said long ago and what our Lord and Savior commanded through your apostles.

Deuteronomy 32:7 NLT
Remember the days of long ago; think about the generations past. Ask your father, and he will inform you. Inquire of your elders, and they will tell you.

Jonah 2:7 KJV
When my soul fainted within me I remembered The Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

John 14:26 KJV
But The Comforter, which is The Holy Ghost, whom The Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Psalm 63:5,6 KJV
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

After the rapture of the church, Christian's works will be tried, as to what they were, and with what motives they did them.

I Corinthians 3:13-15 KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Revelation 14:13 KJV
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in The Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith The Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.

After the Millennial reign of Christ on earth, there will be The Great White Throne Judgment (for the lost).

Revelation 20:10-15 KJV
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a Great White Throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is The Book Of Life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in The Book Of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

No one is “saved,” by works, works of any kind!

Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
The Gift Of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5,6 KJV
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of The Holy Ghost;
6 Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;


THE WAY OF SALVATION
Mark 1:14,15 KJV
14 "...Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Acts 2:21 KJV
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be saved.”

Romans 10:8-11 KJV
8 But what saith it? The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.

II Corinthians 5:15 KJV
And that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.

I Peter 2:24 KJV
Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Brazen Serpent

Bible Questions Answered:
“You wrote concerning serpents of the pole, and Jesus but we are not with understanding, how they are same...”
Rendi/ Roodepoort, Gauteng South Africa

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Numbers 21:4-9 KJV
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

6 And The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against The Lord, and against thee; pray unto The Lord, that He take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 And The Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

Hardships of the way, caused the people of God, to murmur and complain, against Moses and God.

Psalm 55:19 KJV
God shall hear, and afflict them, even He that abideth of old. Selah..."

Jeremiah 8:17 KJV
For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith The Lord.

Numbers 21:6 KJV
And The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

Psalm 119:67,68 KJV
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

Psalm 145:17 KJV (Write this verse on the flyleaf of your Bible.)
The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works.

The judgment of fiery serpents, brought death, and repentance to the people.

Numbers 21:7 KJV
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against The Lord, and against thee; pray unto The Lord, that He take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

God's answer to their repentance:

Numbers 21:8,9 KJV
8 And The Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

What did looking upon the brazen serpent accomplish?
1) It reminded them, it was because of “their sin,” that death and judgment came.
2) It reminded them, through repentance, and faith in God's promise, they would be saved.

John 3:14-18 KJV
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 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.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

When our Lord was on the cross, He was not there for His sins, but for our sins.
We deserved judgment and death, but as we look to Him, in repentance for our own sins and have faith in Him, we are saved, delivered from death and judgment, for He took our death and judgment upon Himself.

I Peter 2:22 NLT
He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone.

II Corinthians 5:21 NLT
For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

I Corinthians 10:9-13 NLT
9 Nor should we put Christ to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites.
10 And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death.
11 These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age.
12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.
13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure.

Hebrews 10:38,39 KJV
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Isaiah 45:22 KJV
Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Numbers 21: 4-9 KJV AGAIN:

Saved or Lost:

God's people, were in sin.

Numbers 21:5 KJV
And the people spake against God..."

Judgment and death, were the result.

Numbers 21:6 KJV
And The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

But there was hope...

Numbers 21:8 KJV
And The Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

Through repentance..."when he looketh upon it"    One look at the bronze snake, reminded them, it was because of  their sin, that they faced judgment and death. And so they cried...

Numbers 21:7 KJV
"...We have sinned, for we have spoken against The Lord..."

 In repentance, they cried unto The Lord, and in obedience, they held to the promise of The Lord...

"...every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live."

The people because of sin, were facing judgment and death, but through repentance and obedience, gained Life, through faith in the promise of The Lord.

Saved if they did, lost if they refused, and did not.

Saved or Lost:

Today mankind is guilty of sin, faced with judgment and death.

Romans 3:23 KJV
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 5:12 KJV
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Ezekiel 18:4 KJV
"...the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

But there is hope.

II Corinthians 7:10 NLT
For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

Romans 2:4 KJV
"...the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance"

II Peter 3:9 KJV
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Revelation 3:19 KJV
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Repentance yes, and belief also.

John 3:14-16 KJV
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 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.

Mark 16:16 KJV
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Saved or Lost, Israel had the choice of repenting and forsaking sin and believing The Lord, and the challenge is the same today!
Repenting and forsaking of sin, and belief in the promise of The Lord, determines if we are Saved or Lost.

Prayer:

Isaiah 45:22 KJV
Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

John 8:24 KJV
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.

Acts 4:12 KJV
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

John 6:37,47 KJV
37 “...him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.”
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.

Jude 1:21 KJV
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Bible Text:

Psalm 22:6-8 KJV
6 But I am a worm, and no Man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see Me laugh Me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on The Lord that He would deliver Him: let Him deliver Him, seeing He delighted in Him.

Psalm 109:25 NLT

Isaiah 37:22 KJV
This is the word which The Lord hath spoken concerning Him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.


Prophecy Fulfillment:

Matthew 27:27-31,39-44 KJV
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto Him the whole band of soldiers.
28 And they stripped Him, and put on Him a scarlet robe.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head, and a reed in His right hand: and they bowed the knee before Him, and mocked Him, saying, Hail,
King Of The Jews!
30 And they spit upon Him, and took the reed, and smote Him on the head.
31 And after that they had mocked Him, they took the robe off from Him, and put His own raiment on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

39 And they that passed by reviled (shouted abuse NLT) Him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou be The Son Of God, come down from the cross.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He be The King Of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.
43 He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him: for He said,
I am The Son Of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with Him, cast the same in His teeth.

Mark 15:29-32 KJV
29 And they that passed by railed on Him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; Himself He cannot save.
32 Let Christ The King Of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with Him reviled Him.

Luke 22:63-65 KJV
63 And the men that held Jesus mocked Him, and smote Him.
64 And when they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face, and asked Him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against Him.

Luke 23:10, 11, 35-39 KJV
10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.
11 And Herod with his men of war set Him at nought, and mocked Him, and arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him again to Pilate.
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided Him, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He be Christ, The Chosen Of God.
36 And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, and offering Him vinegar,
37 And saying, If thou be The King Of The Jews, save thyself.
38 And a superscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews.

Luke 18:31-33 KJV

32 For He shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge Him, and put Him to death: and the third day He shall rise again.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold The Lamb Of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

I Corinthians 5:7 KJV
"...Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.

II Corinthians 5:21 KJV
For He (The Father) hath made Him (Jesus Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

I Peter 1:18-20 NLT
18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value.
19 It was The Precious Blood Of Christ, The Sinless, Spotless Lamb Of God.
20 God chose Him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days He has been revealed for your sake.

Isaiah 53:1-12 NLT
1 Who has believed our message? To whom has The Lord revealed His powerful arm?
2 My Servant grew up in The Lord’s presence like A Tender Green Shoot, like A Root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about His appearance, nothing to attract us to Him.
3 He was despised and rejected— A Man Of Sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on Him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.
4 Yet it was our weaknesses He carried; it was our sorrows that weighed Him down. And we thought His troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for His own sins!
5 But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.
6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet The Lord laid on Him the sins of us all.
7 He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet He never said a word. He was led like A Lamb to the slaughter. And as A Sheep is silent before the shearers, He did not open His mouth.
8 Unjustly condemned, He was led away. No one cared that He died without descendants, that His life was cut short in midstream. But He was struck down for the rebellion of my people.
9 He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But He was buried like a criminal He was put in a rich man’s grave.
10 But it was The Lord’s good plan to crush Him and cause Him grief. Yet when His life is made an offering for sin, He will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and The Lord’s good plan will prosper in His hands.
11 When He sees all that is accomplished by His anguish, He will be satisfied. And because of His experience, My Righteous Servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for He will bear all their sins.
12 I will give Him the honors of A Victorious Soldier, because He exposed Himself to death. He was counted among the rebels. He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.


Prayer:

Jesus, be merciful to me a sinner. I confess and forsake my sins, and ask you to forgive me, and make me a child of God, for you have said, “...whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be saved.” Acts 2:21 KJV

Thank you for dying for me, taking my place in judgment, that I might be pardoned. I take you as the Savior, and Lord (Master) of my life. Help me to read your word, confess you, and live for you.
Amen

Saturday Versus Sunday Worship

Bible Questions Answered:
“...I got into it with a guy that said Saturday is the Sabbath, and that I was not worshiping correctly by worshiping on Sunday. I found out later this man, is Seventh Day Adventist. What do we tell someone like this...”
Shane/ Alliance, Nebraska U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Some have a real problem with this, but it comes down to, are we under the laws of the Old Testament, or not, as as Christian believers, we are not!

Galatians 3:24-26 KJV
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

The Apostle Paul was at the church of Galatia. At the church, a group of Jews, so called Judaizers, who taught that Christ was not in Himself enough for eternal salvation, one also had to keep Moses' law.

Their equation for salvation then was:

(The Law-circumcision) + (Christ) = Salvation.

There were those in the church that realized if this was true, then Paul was terribly wrong.

The Apostle became furious, he defended the integrity of the gospel, and so the book of Galatians was written.

The Apostle Paul stated, as was the message of The Gospel.

(Christ) = Salvation (alone).

Galatians 5:2,11,12 NLT
2 Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.
11 Dear brothers and sisters, if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised—as some say I do—why am I still being persecuted?
If I were no longer preaching salvation through the cross of Christ, no one would be offended.
12 I just wish that those troublemakers who want to mutilate you by circumcision would mutilate themselves.

Galatians 6:12-16 NLT
12 Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don’t want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save.
13 And even those who advocate circumcision don’t keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples.
14 As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.
15 It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
16 May God’s peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; they are the new people of God.

Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
The Gift Of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5-7 KJV
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of The Holy Ghost;
6 Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7 That being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Christians are not under the law, but the grace of God.

Romans 6:14 KJV
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Romans 6:14,15 NLT
14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
15 Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not!

The Early Church Worshiped On Sunday (The First Day Of The Week):

The Resurrection Was On Sunday.

Matthew 28:1-7 NLT
1 Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of The Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it.
3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow.
4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as He said would happen. Come, see where His body was lying.
7 And now, go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead, and He is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see Him there. Remember what I have told you.”

Jesus Appeared On The First Day Of The Week.

John 20:19,26 NLT
19 That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” He said.
26 Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. “Peace be with you,” He said.

Pentecost Was On Sunday (49 days after Easter):

Acts 2:1 KJV
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

The Early Church, Worshiped On Sunday:

Acts 20:7 KJV
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

Acts 20:7 MSG
We met on Sunday to worship and celebrate the Master’s Supper. Paul addressed the congregation. Our plan was to leave first thing in the morning, but Paul talked on, way past midnight.

I Corinthians 16:1,2 KJV
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

I Corinthians 16:1,2 MSG
Regarding the relief offering for poor Christians that is being collected, you get the same instructions I gave the churches in Galatia. Every Sunday each of you make an offering and put it in safekeeping. Be as generous as you can. When I get there you’ll have it ready, and I won’t have to make a special appeal.

The Resurrected Lord, Appeared To John On The Island Of Patmos, On Sunday:

Revelation 1:10 KJV
10 I was in The Spirit on The Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, The first and The Last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Revelation 1:10,11 MSG
It was Sunday and I was in The Spirit, praying. I heard a loud voice behind me, trumpet-clear and piercing:
Write what you see into a book. Send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea.”

Why not worship on the Sabbath? Only 9 Old Testament commandments were reissued in the New Testament, but not the Sabbath.

Matthew 12:8 KJV
For The Son Of Man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

We now have and Eternal High Priest, at The Right Hand Of God, Jesus Christ, The Righteous.

Hebrews 7:12 KJV
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

Mark 2:27,28 KJV
27 And He said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Therefore The Son Of Man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Colossians 2:16,17 NLT
16 So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.
17 For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ Himself is that reality

So dear friends, what is the end of the matter? The Early Church, worshiped on Sunday, but the Apostle Paul leaves these final words with us...

Romans 14:1-13 NLT (The Danger of Criticism)
1 Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.
2 For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables.
3 Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them.
4 Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with The Lord’s help, they will stand and receive His approval.
5 In the same way, some think one day is more holy than another day, while others think every day is alike. You should each be fully convinced that whichever day you choose is acceptable.
6 Those who worship The Lord on a special day do it to honor Him. Those who eat any kind of food do so to honor The Lord, since they give thanks to God before eating. And those who refuse to eat certain foods also want to please The Lord and give thanks to God.
7 For we don’t live for ourselves or die for ourselves.
8 If we live, it’s to honor The Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor The Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to The Lord.
9 Christ died and rose again for this very purpose—to be Lord both of the living and of the dead.
10 So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
11 For the Scriptures say,
“‘As surely as I live,’ says The Lord, ‘every knee will bend to Me, and every tongue will declare allegiance to God.’”
12 Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.
13 So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.

Prayer:

John 6:37,47 KJV
37 “...him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.”
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.

Acts 10:34,35 NLT
34 Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism.
35 In every nation He accepts those who fear Him and do what is right.

Ephesians 1:6 KJV
To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Angels - We Are Not To Pray To -

Bible Questions Answered:
“...so I prayed to my guardian angel...”
Theresa/ Santa Ana, California U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Nowhere, nowhere, are we ever taught in The Word Of God, to pray to angels!

Jesus our example:

John 13:15 KJV
For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Jesus prayed, and told Christians to pray, to The Father in heaven.

Matthew 6:9 KJV
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Luke 11:2 KJV
And He said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

John 14:12-15 KJV
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that The Father may be glorified in The Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it.
15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

We should live as the “noble-Bereans.

Acts 17:10,11 KJV
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received The Word with all readiness of mind, and searched The Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Noble:
An exalted moral or mental character or excellence.
Dictionary.Com

It is God The Holy Spirit, and our Savior, Jesus Christ, who intercede for the people of God.

Romans 8:26,27 NLT
26 And The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But The Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
27 And The Father who knows all hearts knows what The Spirit is saying, for The Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.

Hebrews 4:14-16 NLT
14 So then, since we have A Great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus The Son Of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.
15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.
16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Angels are a part of Gods great creation, not eternal, created.

Colossians 1:15-17 NLT
15 Christ is the visible image of The Invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
16 for through Him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through Him and for Him.
17 He existed before anything else, and He holds all creation together.

And although it is true, angels have more power than mere mortal man...

Hebrews 2:7 KJV (The Apostle speaking of man stated...)
"Thou madest him a little lower than the angels..."

Yet, they are not God, and “not,” to be prayed to or to be worshiped. Who said so, why the very angels of heaven have said so!

Revelation 19:9,10 NLT
9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.”
10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.

Revelation 22:8,9 NLT
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.
9 But he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!”

Our God told Israel...

Exodus 20:3-5 KJV
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I The LORD thy God am a jealous God..."

Exodus 34:14 KJV
For thou shalt worship no other god: for The LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

Deuteronomy 4:24 KJV
For The LORD thy God is a Consuming Fire, even a jealous God.

Isaiah 48:11 KJV
"...I will not give My glory unto another."

No one, be he angel or saint, is to usurp the position of Almighty God!
As the angels of heaven told the beloved John...

Revelation 19:10/ 22:9 KJV
...“No, don’t worship me (Angels of heaven...Worship only God!”

Revelation 22:8,9 KJV
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.


Worship Of The Angel Of The Lord (A Theophony Of Christ):

The Angel Of The Lord, is none other than the preincarnate Lord Jesus.

Genesis 12:5-8 KJV
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 And The Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto The Lord, who appeared unto him.
8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he built an altar unto The Lord, and called upon
the name of The Lord.

Genesis 16:7-11-13 KJV The Lord finds Hagar.
7 And The Angel Of The Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
8 And He said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And The Angel Of The Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 And The Angel Of The Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And The Angel Of The Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because The Lord hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
13 And she called the name of The Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after Him that seeth me?

Hagar called The Angel Of The Lord, God!

The Lord appeared unto Abram as a man, claiming to be The Almighty God!

Genesis 17:1 KJV
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, The Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him,
I am The Almighty God; walk before Me, and be thou perfect.

The Lord, and two of His mighty angels appeared to Abraham as men.

Genesis 18:1,2 KJV
1 And The Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

The Angel Of God, reveals to Jacob that He is...The God Of Bethel!

Genesis 31:11,13 KJV
11 And The Angel Of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
13 I am The God Of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto Me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

Jacob referred to The Angel, as God!

Genesis 48:15,16 NLT
15 Then he (Jacob) blessed Joseph and said, “May the God before whom my grandfather Abraham and my father, Isaac, walked—the God who has been my Shepherd all my life, to this very day,
16 The Angel who has redeemed me from all harm— may He bless these boys. May they preserve my name and the names of Abraham and Isaac. And may their descendants multiply greatly throughout the earth.”

The Angel Of The Lord, revealed to Moses that He was God!

Exodus 3:1-6 KJV (Moses worshiped The Angel Of The Lord.)
1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And The Angel Of The Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when The Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And He said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 Moreover He said, I am The God of thy father, The God Of Abraham, The God Of Isaac, and
The God Of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

Was The Angel Of The Lord, God,yes!

God told Moses...

Exodus 23:20-23 NLT
20 “See, I am sending an Angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you.
21 Pay close attention to Him, and obey His instructions. Do not rebel against Him, for He is My Representative, and He will not forgive your rebellion.
22 But if you are careful to obey Him, following all My instructions, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will oppose those who oppose you.
23 For My Angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, so you may live there. And I will destroy them completely.

Gideon met The Angel Of The Lord and exclaimed, A” Oh, Sovereign Lord.

Judges 6:11,12;17-21 NLT
11 Then The Angel Of The Lord came and sat beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a wine press to hide the grain from the Midianites.
12 The Angel Of The Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, The Lord is with you!”
17 Gideon replied, “If you are truly going to help me, show me a sign to prove that it is really the Lord speaking to me.
18 Don’t go away until I come back and bring my offering to you.” He answered, “I will stay here until you return.”
19 Gideon hurried home. He cooked a young goat, and with a basket of flour he baked some bread without yeast. Then, carrying the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, he brought them out and presented them to The Angel, who was under the great tree.
20 The Angel Of God said to him, “Place the meat and the unleavened bread on this rock, and pour the broth over it.” And Gideon did as he was told.
21 Then The Angel Of The Lord touched the meat and bread with the tip of the staff in His hand, and fire flamed up from the rock and consumed all he had brought. And The Angel Of The Lord disappeared.
22 When Gideon realized that it was The Angel Of The Lord, he cried out, “Oh, Sovereign Lord, I’m doomed! I have seen The Angel Of The Lord face to face!”

The Angel Of The Lord, was the preincarnate Lord Jesus. Don't let anyone tell you its OK to worship angels, or to pray to them, because angels of God, were worshiped in the Old Testament!

Preincarnate
Of, relating to, or having existence before incarnation.
Merriam-Webster.Com

Isaiah 42:8 KJV
I am The Lord: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.

Now the most wonderful news about this study is ….

Psalm 34:7 KJV
The Angel Of The Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.

Psalm 125:1,2 KJV
1 They that trust in The Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so The Lord is round about His people from henceforth even for ever.

Are you a child of The Lord? You can be, ask Him into your heart and life today!

Prayer:

Isaiah 45:22 KJV
Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Matthew 10:32 KJV
Everyone who acknowledges Me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before My Father in heaven.

John 1;12,13 KJV
12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
