Acts
#4511Jesus
did not rebuke the apostles for their inquiry about the restoration of
the kingdom. Their question was a valid one. But the answer is God's secret.
#4512 The command, specifying the geographic areas to be evangelized, was carried out in exactly the order prescribed here. Jerusalem began at 2:1; in Judaea and Samaria, at 8:5; and throughout the remainder of the earth, at 8:26.
#4513 Are these visions the visions we will see the visions of past prophets as recorded in the old testament?

#4515 It shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
#4516 There is only one way to get to heaven, no other name but Jesus will cut it!
#4517 The Holy Spirit of Jesus has been given to us that obey him.
#4518 This was sound advice; too bad for the Sadducees that they did not heed it, but God's plan is "GOD'S PLAN".
#4519 "Just like that", the Sprit of the Lord transported Philip to Azotus, but I guess he had to walk the rest of the way to Caesarea.
#4520 No "Alter Call" for Saul! If you're predestined it's "ZAP" you're mine!
#4521 To all those Christians who think it is now, not only all right but healthy to eat pork; take note to two things. #1. In verse 28 it is written "God has shown me I should not call any man unclean". #2. Peter didn't rush out to the nearest tavern and order a pork sandwich; he went to Caesarea and preached the gospel to Gentiles.
#4522 Just trying to be good enough won't cut it because all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; you need Christ!
#4523 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; And put no difference between Israelite and gentile, purifying their hearts by faith.
#4524 And thy house!
#4525 The Bereans even checked out what the Apostle Paul taught; should we do any less with what any man teaches today?
#4526I for one, have taken this statement to heart; accepting exactly what it says as fact! For in him we live, and move, and have our being;...
4527 These verses basically say he's not going to turn His head for much longer, but has provided a way for our sins to be covered and we had better take advantage of it soon.
#4528 Was this meeting on Sunday because that the day the disciples chose Sunday as a special day of worship or was it just that it happened to be Sunday when they found people gather.
#4529 Salvation for all through faith in Lord Jesus Christ.
#4530Paul then knew he would be safe for a while longer.
#4531We will all receive our new celestial bodies in the hereafter; that is not to say all our souls are to become immortal.
#4532Paul refers to our twelve tribes and the Jews as 2 different groups.
Romans
#4533The
just shall live by faith.
#4534They are without excuse:
#4535Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
#4536Those who obey the truth seek immortality and eternal life.
#4537No one can be righteous by observing the law. Though the law we become conscious of sin. Rightness comes through faith is Christ
#4538Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
#4539But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
#4540Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
#4541 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
#4542For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
#4543For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
#4544We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
#4545Do you know who are the real Israelites?
#4546 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
#4547God to show mercy to Israel and the Gentiles.
#4548 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
#4549Otherwise grace is no more grace.
#4550 Them (House of Judah), World (Non Israelites), and Gentiles (House of Ephraim) = Three different groups of peoples.
#4551That ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
#4552Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord
#4553For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. That's a hard pill to swallow, but it's all part of God's plan for the good of we, His creation.
#4554I know! I know!, but I'm still not eating pork.
#4555He even left man kill him!
#4556 For our learning is why scriptures were written!
#4557 According to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began
1 Corinthians
#4558Human
wisdom contrasted with the wisdom of God. (i.e. the cross)
#4559What is the mind of Christ that we Christians have? except it be The Holy Spirit which He gave to us.
#4560 All True Christians will be saved, but they will be rewarded according to their works
#4561Christ our passover! is what we should be celebrating in April; not painting "asherah" eggs!
#4562We all were present with The Lord during the first earth age (in our spirit bodies/ angelic or celestial bodies) ; prior to being born into these flesh bodies for this earth age so now being Christians we will judge other angels, i.e. our brethren.
#4563Your past becomes irrelevant when you turn your life over to Jesus.
#4564Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body
#4565 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. Pretty self explanatory! I'd say.
#4566 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
#4567Paul did not look down on any one, but met them under their own terms.
#4568There is much to be learned about the end times by studying what happened to the ancient Israelites,
#4569For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels
#4570no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed
#4571Christians are all brothers in Christ through the Holy Spirit!
#4572For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
#4573A mystery that we need to learn; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed from our terrestrial/flesh and blood bodies into our celestial/spiritual bodies in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump which is when Christ returns.
#4574Anathema (Greek word for "accursed") Maranatha (mean. our Lord has come) maranatha , i.e. an exclamation of the approaching divine judgment:-Maran-atha.
2 Corinthians
#4575We
are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and
to be present with the Lord. What a blessing to look forward to.
#4576 Christians; I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
#4577Question: How do we know Eve was physically seduced rather than only deceived? Answer: Look at the punishment and the cover up!

#4579 Paul was caught up, spiritually shown, the third heaven;as in the 1st.one being the one that was, the 2nd.one being the one that is now, the 3rd.one being the one that is to come. Same as three earth ages.
#4580 Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you
Galatians
#4581
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not
into your house, neither bid him God speed:
#4582Paul, after his conversion did not go to the other apostles to learn more.He went off to Arabia by himself to learn from the Holy Ghost. NO OTHER INFLUENCE!
#4583You can not do good enough to be justified! You need complete faith in Christ.
#4584For if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
#4585 The just shall live by faith.
#4586But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God.
#4587Listen only to the Holy Spirit and walk in his ways.!
#4588For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Ephesians
#4589We
predestined from the 1st. earth age. Ye
who accept Christ now in this earth age.
#4590For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
#4591 The Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel

#4593 Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
#4594nurture:up-bringing-training-tender nurture of sensitive minds admonition:to reprove mildly-to urge,exhort
#4595 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Philippians
#4596You
being a Christian; he which hath begun a good work in you will perform
it until the day of Jesus Christ:
#4597 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
#4598 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
#4599 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
#4600 Be found in Christ, not having your own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
#4601There are many that are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
#4602 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Colossians
#4603
Christ is the image of the invisible God and
he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
#4604In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight
#4605 If ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
#4606 Above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
#4607 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man
1 Thessalonians
#4608
Paul refers tothe
Jews as they/their
own prophets and
to
himself and the people of the Christian churches
as us. As two seperate peoples; he and the Christians of Israelite
descent; the Jews from different ancestral descent.
#4609 Well, if the saints are in their spiritual bodies and we are still in our flesh bodies, how shall we be gathered together to meet the Lord in the air?
#4610 Know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
#4611 Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil
2 Thessalonians
#4612
Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with
his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not
God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
#4613 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
1 Timothy
#4614
Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners; of whom I am chief.
#4615 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
#4616 Paul said, "Jesus preached unto the Gentiles". (When did this happen?)Was it in Europe prior to his 30thy birthday and therefore, not recorded?
#4617
Paul said every creature of God may be eaten if received with thanksgiving,
but I have a problem justifying this in my mind based on Genesis
9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as
the green herb have I given you all things. Even as the green herb to me
means don't eat pork any more than you would eat poison ivy.
2 Timothy
#4618
Our Saviour Jesus Christ hath abolished death
and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
#4619 Remember, Jesus Christ was raised from the dead.
#4620 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
#4621 Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
#4622 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Titus
_
#4623
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
Hebrews
#4624
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who
shall be heirs of salvation?
#4625 Both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren,
#4626 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace
#4627 Quite frankly that means that they are still baby Christians and cannot tell the difference between the "tree of life" and the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil".
#4628 Simply open your mouth and take the little book and begin to eat it as per His instructions!
#4629 No mortal priest can give you life or offer sacrifice to atone for your sins, because he doesn't have life to give you!
#4630
It doesn't matter how religious you are or what lofty position you might
hold within the tabernacles of men! It matters only that He dwells in you
and
you
in Him for if you are to "live", as in have eternal life,
then you must live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of
God.
#4631 One of requirements for salvation is that each son of God come down from above and be born of flesh and die the first death, the death of the flesh.
#4632 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Why is it a fearful [formidable] thing? Because you "see", God can destroy not only your flesh body, but your very soul. He is the one you should fear, as in revere!
#4633 Now Paul is going to "Remember the Days of Old" and show us the substance of what real faith is made of!
#4634 It is extremely important that you understand how the word "cloud" is used here as you study other places it is used in your Bible.
#4635 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth
#4636 "Our God is a consuming fire."
#4637
The subject Paul is going to discuss in detail in this chapter is
the 'endurance' of the work of the church of "brotherly love", which is
"philadelphia" in Greek.
