Not that a Mississippi redneck is really qualified to speak, but the leadership in physical Jerusalem seems pretty messed up by the time Jesus is about to arrive.
......,..
The spiritual voice starts again:
The spiritual activity surrounding the births
of Jesus and John have sudden spiritual...
Now for about 400 years from Malachi to the coming of Jesus we have scriptural silence.
Then John the Baptist and Jesus are revealed.
John begins to preach the kingdom
Repent
Believe in Him (Jesus)
He will baptise in Holy Ghost and fire
So John and Jesus have finished their ministries, and...
The heart delivers good to every cell of body.
The kidneys filter out waste products from body.
Get good in and bad out. Now that is taking for granted we realize it is not us doing the work. He works in us to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Natural pacemaker:
Psalms 22:14 kjv
14. I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me.
Isaiah 50:6 kjv
6. I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame...
My condition ( fallen nature) is sure involved.
Jeremiah 17:9 kjv
9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
John the Baptist preached repentance and believe in the one who comes after me (Jesus).
The solution for that problem heart is the power of...
Does not Romans 1:20 push us to human biology in order to see the hidden attributes of God?
The parking lot is to see a symbol. Hopefully my goal is to see the nature of God in thought and life ( beyond the symbol).
Metaphysics the greater than the physical.

I did not get the photo with this link.
The Loop of Henle is another image that reminds me of the brazen serpent on the pole ( in the wilderness).
God tries our hearts and reins.
Jeremiah 17:10 kjv
10. I the LORD search the heart, I try the...
Let us make man in our image.
I understand that the things of God are seen in what he created. So if we see an image, we look for verification.
How about the hidden man of the heart?
This is but one witness.
Revelation 4 can add more information too.

IMHO again:
Time, times, continual
To be repeated continually, or done once and established forever.
II Kings 4:9 kjv. + many translations
9. And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually
10. Let us make a little chamber...
IMHO:
The greatest mental leap from OT to NT doctrine will be language. The Law and Ordinances will be in Hebrew, but the way Christ fulfilled the Law will be usually in Greek Matthew 5:17 .
So there will not usually be a smooth (?) transfer of thought, but a lamb sacrifice under the Law is...
And the circumcism needed now is the circumcism of the heart. Not a proselyte of the flesh, but the law placed in hearts and minds by the Holy Spirit.
Got to love all the born again Jewish New Testament writers.

I am so glad you asked.
Not that I have the total answer, but it may help to understand this thread.
We have come to a crossroad on the physical level of the conversation. I have just at this point in life maybe seen how with
(Fear and trembling )
Let each man work out his salvation.
I...
I Corinthians 7:18 kjv
18. Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Colossians 2:11 kjv
11. In whom...
Romans 2:29 kjv
29: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Kind of sounds like this is a change in that generation.
Galatians 4:28 kjv
28.Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are...
So
45. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
I hope not to wear out this verse in I Acts 10
........
“But they(sect of pharisee) are not related to the...
A little help with Acts 10:45 would be appreciated.
The belief in repentance was / is needed.
The belief in Jesus is needed
The belief in the Holy Spirit is needed
Why were the minds of some (believers) not getting the grace afforded the Gentiles.
Was the first part of Acts 10:45 about...
The best I can do is never good enough.
Jesus accomplished what I need.
About levels / Pardes
The shed blood of Jesus is the top level of our blood salvation. So (from memory of 4 abstainces avoiding blood just points to Jesus more. (Abstainence 1)
Jesus is the bridegroom we are waiting...
Maybe , but when I see the (astonished) it tends toward confirmation or exegesis.
And the end we seek is not to miss what caused the Galatians to fall away. Going down a side road happens. I kind of like Mapquest and ok
( make a u-turn your destination will be on the left now). LOL
