I am simpler!
A homeless man has a better chance of obeying His calendar than some big CEO or leader in govt...
I was homeless a few times over 60 years ago and it gets mighty hungry.
I think we all have to work out our own salvation and we can not blame any one else but our selves if we fail.
But from what you say even the apostles never knew anything about what you are saying.
And I really do believe we only know a tit bit of what there is out there, so it may well be true.
But I think I will just stick to the N.T. and try to improve on what I have.
Sounds like you are a success story, Raven!
Praise God!
I have never been physically homeless.. always have had somewhere to go...
But spiritually, I was homeless for 40 years....it is nice to be out of that wilderness...
Hidden manna...
I really think the apostles would look at our worship today and go, huh?
The apostles didn’t understand it while it was happening but they also didn’t have bibles in their hands like you and I do, and 2000 years of hindsight...
Satan didn’t know the plan either or he never would have allowed Messiah to be killed on Passover..
our Heavenly Father placed the entire plan in His sky and entrusted it to Israel to observe it and teach it. Almost like a pageant...and they were to rehearse it annually, around agriculture, to disguise His plan.
There is a lot we don’t know and imagine being a Jew and not understanding why the 8th day for circumcision, or why 40 days of purification after birth of a male child.. or day of atonement on the 10th day of the 7th month...
I could see a Jewish child pestering their parents with questions of why, driving their parents crazy..
They rehearse and do so much, and they truly do not now why...or they have answers that always point back to Moses if they can’t find a good answer.
We know the why, just never think about it...and it all points to their Messiah... our Messiah too.. The world’s savior...
Maybe all this does is repair a breach... or at least has me apologizing to religious jews seeking their promised Messiah and not seeing Him in non Torah holy days like christmas and easter...
They have been blinded.. and christendom has been a tool that has been used, sad to say...
