Per Ezekiel 37:22-24 the combined Judah and Ephraim/Israel will be made clean after they are made one nation on the land given to Jacob/Israel. As for the blood of the red heifers, the priests of Israel have already procured them from a Texas rancher. Mixing ashes (pot ash) with water is how...
Yeshua's taught that to inter into life, and to become "perfect"/"complete", one is to keep the Commandments, and then sell all they have and give to the poor. (Mt 19:16-21). On the other hand, death is the consequence of sin (James 1:15). If one wants to remain among the walking dead, just...
It's interesting to me that numerous authors of the various books of the Bible never knew one another, lived during different eras and different locations and yet all said the same thing. Let's take the verses that refer to God as being a refiner or a purifier.
1 John 3:3
And everyone who...
Cutting and pasting a bunch of unrelated scripture that tell us nothing about Satan or the Serpent in the garden is not helpful.
The only passage you cite that mentions Leviathan (the Sea Serpent) is Isaiah 27 tells us what I already told you ... That the Serpent in the Garden is the...
You fail to realize that the "Word of God", the Law and the prophets, is the will of God, and that will is that the kingdoms of the nations will rule and bring judgment upon Judah and Ephraim, until they are taken down by the "stone cut out of the mountain" (Daniel 2:45). In the enterprise of...
Jerusalem was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, and I would suppose he did a decent job of it, which would most likely have him destroy any combustible material. Now if a Jew goes by the name of Levi, they are generally associated with the tribe of Levi. Not perfect, but probably good enough for...
I don't think so. There are different applications on those verses...
Right now he refines us by his word:
John 15:3
Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
You appear to be wrong on your over all view on baptism, which is either of water, Spirit, or fire (Matthew 3). The baptism of water would be in alignment with the confession of sins, which babies don't fall under, and repentance, which again, babies have no need. But as for having a "good...
@Left Coast I'm not of the belief that God would ever dispense from His own universal moral law, binding on His creatures, in relation to us - without that violating His very essence and being.
For Him to do so would make for an essentially amoral and arbitrary Deity, which doesn't conform with...
love covers all sins
Malachi3:2
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
i held on to them by refining them in the alchemical process, whatever remained had to be true.
Malachi3:2
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
Isaiah 63:3
I have trodden the winepress alone...
The Suffering Servant is also the Sensible Slave in Mathew 24, of the New Testament. He prepares the way for the second coming of Christ. The sensible slave has to maintain his focus, since he is not perfect. He is a son of man and not a son of God. He has a job to do, but he is also human and...
