The Will 2:The Bereans And Apollos

The Bereans,Ac17:10-15 Apollos, Man of God, Ac18:24-28 *2P1:21May we, concerning the understanding of the scriptures, be moved by the Spirit always.

Bereans were the inhabitants of the ancient city of Berea, also known in the Bible as Beroea,now known as Veria. Wikipedia. Jews and gentiles live there. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 says Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 

There are so many website that talks about the Bible. Topics, Maps,Archeology,etymologies,Videos and audios,Movies, Pictures, graphics,home study you can download...and a lot more. But these become useless, worthless, without the berean attitude.

We may believe this or that, these and that, but remember not all scholar agrees with one accord.One say this and the other says that, who are we then to believe. the verse says that they search daily the scriptures, if what they heard from Paul is truly written or the scriptures are telling.

So always seeking,always asking,always praying the right answers through the Spirit.After all,the scripture did say when the spirit come he will guide you into all truth.Jhn 16:13

 Apollos ,is a man who knows few ,and yet he has a burning desire to preach the word. It was the Christian couple Priscilla and Aquila who corrected and adds to his learning. Sometimes we really do need to simply ask, to remove the unnecessary teachings.Also add to your learning the right teaching.2Pe 1:5

The Will of God

Isa 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy (Rom. 9:15-16).

The Will of Man

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (John 1:13).

Will of Angels
1 Pet 1:12
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
(KJV)

The Watchman 3 : The two watchmen

Yesha’yah(u) which means YHWH has saved(lit. "salvation of the Lord,")the most quoted prophet, in modern and ancient scripture and YEhezqel , lit. "God strengthens,"watchman of Israel,Ez3:17. Two famous men whom God called to prophesy in a chaotic and divided kingdom. 

God uses these men as a good examples of both prophets and a watchman.To hear the word of God through the Holy Ghost (is still the best way to understand the bible)and an obedient prophets of God..Of course, you should also listen to the brethren(in whom God put the holy Spirit)that the Lord will send you.Both of this prophets suffer terrible persecution in their service to God.

Like others prophets including Jeremiah and Daniel, they did not deny their duty unto God. May we also have the courage to tell the absolute truth concerning the word of God in front of men. Jn17:17 Heb.4:14

The Watchman 2: The Watchtower

The Function of a watchtower(of the wall of china)

Signal fires were used to send messages from tower to tower. One puff of smoke meant 100 enemy soldiers approaching; two puffs meant 500, and each additional puff another 500. It took several hours to send a message the entire length of the Great Wall. 

A watchman's is in charge of informing, alerting the kingdom of the approaching enemy.


That is why it is an important job,and the watchman must stay awake to the right information,so that the kingdom may be protected from invading enemies

Although the walls of China has been called both a blessing and a curse,a blessing because it alerted them from the invaders from the north, but a curse, because the wall did not prevented the mongols from their raiding,that is why there is a continuous repair, though in latter times they replace it with stones. the idea of a watchtower is superb,both as a boundary and an alert post. they also have cannon there. To blast the enemy. Isa 21:5,8

Fun Fact

1. The signal fires were called langyan, meaning "wolves' smoke" because the fires were sometimes kept burning with wolf dung.

The Watchman

When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous [man], that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. Eze 3:18-21

The Darken Path 2

Acquainted with the Night

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
A luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.






Robert Frost, poemhunter.com I like this poem for only one reason, that I be allowed to move within the world invisible at times. Pro 1:6

The Darken Path

You, Darkness

You, darkness, that I come from
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes a circle of light for everyone
and then no one outside learns of you.

But the darkness pulls in everything-
shapes and fires, animals and myself,
how easily it gathers them! -
powers and people-

and it is possible a great presence is moving near me.

I have faith in nights.


Rainer Maria Rilke

:


This is from Beauty and The Beast,Of Love and Hope,Catherine and Vincent, from the television series "Beauty and the Beast

I like this poem for only one reason alone.That sometimes like Beast I want to remain hidden.Isa 29:15 but that is in the past. But now a new darkness arise, a more useful unto the Lord Almighty.Psa 18:11

Death of truth 3:Denomination rising

Denominations and demoninations are spouting like mushrooms everywhere. I think there is even people in caves somewhere or at least preparing to go there. We need to come together, and we must deal and debate it. With all the fools running the church, the members and neighbors becomes enemies unreasonably, and are still called true Christians. May we have true hope at last. 

Is5:20Ro13:13

Death of Truth 2: Power of Lies

And now, making you believe to your heart’s desire, but wait have you check the scriptures of the power of lies. For as the good book say that Satan can transform into a being of light. Pleasant words, repetitions, Purgatorium and all. Has any one check those relics and artifacts, if they are true, in accordance with the word.

Jr9:3-5,8

Death of Truth

And now is just a game .All they do are ceremony after ceremony. Some take to heart while other of routinely importance. Has anyone known God, no, were not asking you but the teachers who leads lives. But to where are they leading you still.

Great and true is the words of the master, the blind leading the __ shall both fall on the same pit.Mt15:14

 And when someone tells the truth, leading you away from such traditions, they like in the olden times, have became as madmen and drunkards.

The Deadly 3: Dark Heart

In the the deepest recesses of the heart lies and there is to know of the person.The Lord search this part that is within you. That is why Jesus said to clean the inside first. It is by the heart that we are judged and watch your heart for it is where you treasure is Jr17:9,10

The Deadly 2: The Suicide

The bible has no specific say or any command about killing thyself but the killing of fellowmen does.Ge9:5The example of King Saul is a good picture of a suicide,1Sa31:3-6 and King Zimri,1K16:15-20.
But the Lord detest Murder and killing of any man.Ex20:13Ro1:28,29 when the Lord does not give ,I guess it up to him to decide,Is55:8,9

suicide Look up suicide at Dictionary.com
"deliberate killing of oneself," 1651, from Mod.L. suicidium "suicide," from L. sui "of oneself" (gen. of se "self"), from PIE *s(u)w-o- "one's own," from base *s(w)e- (see idiom) + -cidium "a killing" (see -cide). Probably an Eng. coinage; much maligned by Latin purists because it "may as well seem to participate of sus, a sow, as of the pronoun sui" [Phillips]. The meaning "person who kills himself deliberately" is from 1728. In Anglo-L., the term for "one who commits suicide" was felo-de-se, lit. "one guilty concerning himself."

"November, the suicide season." [Samuel Foote, "The Bankrupt," 1773]

In England, suicides were legally criminal if sane, but not if judged to have been mentally deranged. The criminal ones were given degrading burial in roadways until 1823. Suicidal is from 1777. Suicide blonde first attested 1942. Baseball suicide squeeze is attested from 1955.

The Deadly

In the time since we began to understand it all or some. We realize that we are capable the wrong or right choice which is the gift of God. To know God before we die Or live in the least moment,without him. Atheism come from the french word atheisme and from the greek word atheos meaning without god. It is not that they are walking aimlessly, just that they are within the circle of the natural cycle or circle of life. We are all earthly and thinking of our mortality. But we shall search and find at the beginning of time that the story of emergence is wrong and there is in the beginning an immortal being who made us all. Ge1:1

Death to Traditions 3: Dare To Questioned

Has anyone dare to ask the Priests, Why is the pope called the Pope,or they are called fathers,or some has a title of reverend or holy?With all the ceremonies going on out there, which one is really true to the word. To teach us and all of us. Lest we forget who are we following.Mt23:15The command after all is to search and learn.Jn5:39; 2Ti2:15 Should we believe the trinity?Is Christ just a human being?,Are we to worship the Holy Ghost?, Is there a purgatory? Are we to believe the apparition of Mary and others?

Death to Traditions 2: No Matter The Good

No matter the good intention done if it is your own will, conflict arise. The churches of today has done their own will and so have split and have become numerous. So if someone told you that he is a christian, the next question would be what denomination. By discussing the differences that occur is the only way of eliminating those false doctrines and saving many fellowmen.1Jn4:1Is29:13Mt15:8Mk7:6-8

Good intentions are no substitute for obedience.

The greatest harm can come from the best intentions.

Death to Traditions

Death to traditions and excess rituals like rosary praying, image touching, and pre-occuppation of apparitions. Frankly, there are so many traditions and rituals that listing them require to much research . But the bible know of their existence.1Ti4:1Mt15:6Mk7:9,13 Col.2:8 To start understanding about God and his ways, all you need is to start reading the word. Read it and when get tired,read tomorrow or later on.What the bible require of you is not just hold the bible and read letters. But every word must be understood through the Spirit. There are so different words to know,but the most important is obedience and mercy. On these two powerful words lies understanding of the words.Ac 17:30

The Death of All 3: Death Death and Death

Death,death and death, it is cessation of the biological function of the body. More importantly the giving up of the ghost or spirit.In this time we sleep in the grave,no more work be done, no more memories of fame or tragedy.

Both the weary and the wicked are rested from their trouble. The hireling is release from his master. The march has begun, the band is playing and the hearse is moving. The last journey upon the earth is establish as the mourners starts to cry.

One day we shall be raise up from our sleep to face the Judge of us all.Ec7:1,2; 8:8

My Immortality Evanescence

The Death of All 2:The Twilight

I name my kitten Twilight. I got the idea from the TV show the Twilight Zone. It died  a few month which I don't know when. But he is a beautiful creature of the Lord.

Midnight left/forgot home 

A lot of people believe there will be animals in heaven, frankly the bible does not say so. Yes, there are verses about animals where the child is leading or the child is playing with snakes and is not harm.But the bible does not indicate that such verses is for the future. Animals is use for work, as food, and they truly give comforts. But they are part of God's creative acts,and does make beautiful creatures.In the bible,animals are for man's benefit. Of course, God does provide for animals and told man to take care and not abuse them.Ec3:21 I shall add to these things later.


My Prayer   The Platters

The Death of All

With so many kinds of death, go figure. But death itself is quite beneficial.The death of a loved one who is sick find relief and release. the death of an animal could mean food ,is another way, with soup on the side. Death of an animal in the forest could be an additional nutrient to the soil. The fall of leaves in the trees would be replace by new leaves in the summer. The death of a tree means another cycle will go on.

Life is precious always, but without death you'll never know it.You will have a hard time enjoying life.Ge8:22

The Dead: The Bible Speak

The bible speaks concerning the dead. There are ample of information concerning the dead. What they are called like corpses and the slain, how to stay away of the the dead,for the dead after all is not clean or what to do when some got contact with the dead.Commands concerning not to talk with the dead,it is abominable to the Lord. There are mourners,time of grief, wine drinking to the sorrowful. So many scriptures to mention,but one verse that i remember is is Job 14:21, unless the dead keeps turning over in their graves.

The Dead 2: Wicked

In talking about the wicked dead, we also must mentioned the saints that are rested no matter how small it is. The wicked dies and is cut short as the saints. the wicked lives long as the saints does.But there the difference, is the will of God.For the Lord let the rain fall on both just and the unjust. The saints dies to be relieve of his suffering and the wicked live longer to have a chance to repent and a chance to change his ways. The dead wicked dies quickly to discontinue their enterprises against the saints,the saints live longer to instruct the wicked that they may be save through repentance.Job 21:17;31:3

The Dead: Saints

Death is only the beginning,as life is. For when we die,we are relieve and release from our toil and our pain. Both life and death are intertwined,were in as you live,you must remember that life is short. And every moment of joy should be embraced. Every moment of pain be lessened and every tasks be completed. If you don't want to then you should have never been born. The dead praise not the Lord, and the dead is useless unto God. Death is always and will always be a part of life. Concerning the dead the bible speak of saints and the wicked, and of such are two different things. The death of the saints is precious unto the Lord,waiting for resurrection,but of the wicked, they are reserve unto the fire.We remember the dead by reminiscing the joy with them.But the bible also state that we should not be long preoccupied of their passing, else we prolong our sorrow more than is require.Ps88:10;115:17 Job 21:30

While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates, you must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the rest.-Samuel Johnson
