Nr. 256: Jonathan, a man of God who did not finish the race!
Nr. 256:
Jonathan, a man of God who did not finish the race!
Jonathan and Jonathan is a man's name formed from Hebrew jonathan, "Yahweh has given."
Jonathan did not finish the race and his life's calling
2. Tim. 4. 7 I have fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith. 8 So when the crown of righteousness is ready for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, but not me alone but all who have loved His appearing.
1. Samuel 14 24 While now the men of Israel were severely strained that day, Saul people swear, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any food in the evening, before I have avenged myself on my enemies! And it was none of the people tasted food. 25 Then all the people into the woods, and there was honey on the ground, 26 and with the same people came into the forest, they saw a whole stream of honey, but none of the people brought his hand to his mouth for fear of the oath. 27 But Jonathan had not heard that his father let people swear, and he stretched out his rod in his hand, and dipped the end of it in the honey and put his hand to his mouth, when his eyes were clear. 28 Then a man of the people answered and said, 'Your father has left the people to swear, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food today! And so people were exhausted. 29 Jonathan said, My father has troubled the country, just look how my eyes have become because I have tasted a little of this honey, 30 how much more would not slaughter among the Philistines have become if people today had eat of the spoil the taken from their enemies! 31 In the day they struck the Philistines, and chased them from Michmash to Ajalon, and the people were very faint 32 and immediately took hold of plunder, they took the sheep and cattle and calves and slaughtered them on the ground and ate the meat with the blood, 33 And there came anyone and told Saul, saying people sin against the Lord and eat meat with the blood, he said, I have carried you that transgressed; overturning now a great stone to me here! / 34 So Saul said, go around among the people and tell them that each of them will come to me with his ox and his sheep and slaughter them here and then eat, that they might not sin against the Lord and eat meat with blood in . They brought every man of the people with their own beef up the night and slaughtered them there. 35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord, it was the first altar that he built unto the Lord. 36 Then Saul said, Let us go down tonight and set by the Philistines and plunder among them until the morning dawns, and do not let a single man among them will be alive. They said, do exactly as you think! The priest said: Let us come near hither to God! 37 So Saul asked God, Shall I go down and pursue after the Philistines? Will you give them the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day. 38 Then Saul said: Thread the hit all the chiefs among the people, that ye may know and see how it's down with the sin that is done today! 39 For as the Lord lives, who saves Israel, If so the blame is with Jonathan, my son, he shall surely die! But none of all the people answered him. 40 Then he said to all Israel: Stand In on the one hand, and I and Jonathan my son, standing on the other side. The people said to Saul: Do what you think! 41 Then Saul said to the Lord God of Israel: Let the truth come out! And the lot fell upon Jonathan and Saul, but the people escaped. 42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son! And the lot fell upon Jonathan. 43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you've done! Jonathan told him and said, I took some honey on the end of the stick I had in my hand, and tasted it, here I am, I must die. 44 Then Saul said, God do so to me severely, now and since you do not now die, Jonathan! 45 But the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who have won this great victory in Israel? Far from that! As the Lord liveth, there shall not fall a hair of his head to the earth: for with God's help, he has done his work today. So the people rescued Jonathan from death.
We sing in Sildiregn the week. 171 a song about this: King Saul commanded all the people food - Jonathan ate of the Lord barrels. He put his rod in honey ready. And his eyes had a luster so underbar.
Chorus: In the rock honey is honey in the rock is - Abundance of honey in the rock are now. Come, taste and see that God is good. In the rock abundance of honey is.
Rarely a good and interesting song that talks about what happened here in 1 Samuel. What really happened? We read in the beginning of the chapter, so that you can catch everything, so I scissors into the passage I took to begin with.
1. Samuel 14 1. So it happened one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the man who bore his armor: Come, let us go over to the Philistines' garrison there on the other side! But he said nothing about it to his father. 2 Saul was then the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree in Migron, and the people by whom he had with him were about six hundred men, 3 where Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod, son of Phinehas, the son of Eli , the Lord's priest in Shiloh, he wore the ephod at that time. But the people did not know that Jonathan was gone. 4 Among the throngs which Jonathan sought to reach through to get to the Philistines' garrison, there was a steep cliff on each side: the one called Bose and the other terraces. 5 One cliff rises steeply to the north opposite Michmash, the other to the south opposite Geba. 6 And Jonathan said to the man who bore his armor: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised! Maybe the Lord does nothing for us, because nothing prevents the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few. 7 His armorbearer answered him, do whatever you have in mind! You go only! I will follow you wherever you want. 8 Then Jonathan said, Now we go over to the men there, and they will see us. 9 If they say to us: Stand still until we come up to you! - So we are standing where we are, and do not go up to them. 10 But if they say: Come up to us! - So we go up, for when the Lord has given them into our hands. We will have to sign. 11 So when they both had come so far that they could be seen from the Philistines' garrison, said the Philistines: Look, there comes the Hebrews out of the caves which they hid in. 12 And the men in the garrison called to Jonathan and his armorbearer and said, up to us and we'll tell you anything! Then Jonathan said to his armorbearer, Come up after me, the Lord has given them in the hand of Israel. 13 And Jonathan climbed up on hands and feet, and his armorbearer after him: and they fell for Jonathan and his armorbearer went after him and beat them to death. 14 In the first attack Jonathan and his armorbearer did, fell about twenty men on a stretch as half of the land that can pløies in a day. 15 When there was terror in the camp, on the ground around and among all the people, the garrison and ravage the flock was seized with fear. The earth shook, and there was a fear of God. 16 And when Saul's guards in Gibeah of Benjamin saw that the crowd loosened up, and that they were about to encounter and penetrate each other, 17 Saul said to the people who were with him: Count by and see who is gone from us! So they counted later, and it turned out that Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there. 18 Then Saul said to Ahijah, Bring the ark of God! Ark of God was at the time when the people of Israel. 19 But while Saul spoke with the priest, was the noise of the Philistines greater and greater, as Saul said to the priest, Let it be! 20 And Saul and all the people who were with him, gathered himself, and when they came to where the battle was, they saw that one had raised the sword against the other, and everything was in a bustle. 21 Also the Hebrews who now as before was with the Philistines, who went up with them and was around their camp, beat him with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan. 22 And when the Israelites who had hidden themselves in the mountains of Ephraim heard that the Philistines fled, even they are all set after them, and fought against them. 23 Thus the Lord helped Israel that day, and the battle drew away, past Beth Aven.
Here were the children of Israel in violation of the Philistines as today's Palestinian Arabs have taken its name from. These were not Arabs, but the assumption respectively Greeks and from the islands around there that had migrated down to Israel and became so hostile to Israel.
Jonathan showed courage, cunning and trusted in the Lord
We see here how the young Jonathan and his armorbearer managed to go against the enemy and win victory while Israel was scared and tired back. Jonathan showed that the victory lay with the Lord, so he says the following: "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised! Maybe the Lord does nothing for us, because nothing prevents the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few. "
It had received indeed the experience, and killed several of the enemy so that it was a wonderful victory, while the enemy suffered a heavy defeat.
Saul his father had refused to hear the whole foods, including Jonathan
This said Saul, his father: "Cursed be the man who eats any food in the evening, before I get avenged myself on my enemies," and there was none of the people tasted food as he had sworn it. But "luckily" had not Jonathan heard this, so we read what he did: "Then all the people into the woods, and there was honey on the ground, and with the same people came into the forest, they saw a whole stream of honey, but none of the people brought his hand to his mouth for fear of the oath. But Jonathan had not heard that his father let people swear, and he stretched out his rod in his hand, and dipped the end of it in the honey and put his hand to his mouth, when his eyes were clear. "
Jonathan was clear and bright eyes
It is wonderful with these people who "do not know better." It's just the way the Lord uses, and that the religious hate and not understand. They behaves differently but are happy and always wins victory! While the common herd liver failure and many times is the world's children are better off than the great religious hop because it is in captivity! So it was then and this is today. Which voice you follow? And you have the "blind" eyes so that the Lord can use you, and always follow the crowd and become a spiritual cripple and confused? The choice makes you dear friend!
Jonathan was rescued by the people when he had tasted of honey and had bright eyes
We read that his father King Saul would kill him, but he was rescued by the people:
"Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you've done! Jonathan told him and said, I took some honey on the end of the stick I had in my hand, and tasted it, here I am, I must die. Then Saul said, God do so to me severely, now and since you do not now die, Jonathan! But the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who have won this great victory in Israel? Far from that! As the Lord liveth, there shall not fall a hair of his head to the earth: for with God's help, he has done his work today. So the people rescued Jonathan from death. "
The religious spirit will always stop what is from God as it is with Satan
Satan is very religious, even as religious and "from" that he believes in God. It also Pastors and Bishops around, they believe in God. But only those who obey God who promise to share in God himself.
Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things, and likewise the Holy Spirit, which God gave them that obey him.
Jonathan went with "deaf" ears and won the victory
We read: "But Jonathan had not heard that his father let people swear, and he stretched out his rod in his hand, and dipped the end of it in the honey and put his hand to his mouth, when his eyes were clear."
The more you go with "deaf" ears of the common herd and the religious leader, the more useful will be to the God of the whole. That's fine with community, at times. But also tiring because there are so many who want to dictate to you and say anything about you. Then it is much, much better to apply in the first place out alone with the Lord and be with the Lord, and an open Bible. It works wonders, and learn to blemish to God and know what he wants. You will win more than conquerors, be you sure. I can mention the thousands of experiences and an enrichment to be different and be knotted to the Lord.
Psalm 91 14 For he is sticking by me, and I will deliver him: I will bring him to safety, because he knows my name. In the Hebrew it says that he is glued fast to me, wonderful!
Jonathan was humiliating
Jonathan was a man who counted on God and trusting firmly in the Lord. When one is humble. And he also showed that he was humbled when his father King Saul would kill him after he had eaten the honey. But fortunately, the people had to stop his father from making such a misdeed. Humility is probably the biggest problem among the believers in Norway today, in particular those who will lead the congregation. Thinking of what I have experienced as believers. There is no question about what the word of God says in the vast majority of questions. But to retain their positions, stay inside the heat and be correct with respect to the doctrine that is up and adopted tin any time. Is this humility? No it is anything but that!
Jonathan, King David's best friend
A covenant is an agreement between two or more people. It has been so committed to act and live by this Agreement. The Old Testament word for covenant, is the Hebrew "Berith". Directly translated it means "to cut so that blood is shed." The explanation for this is found already in the Garden of Eden.
"And the Lord God made cloaks of skins for Adam and his wife, and clothed them." (1 Exodus 3:21)
When the people had committed against God, He gave an innocent animal to die in their place, for "the wages of sin is death." To sin against God qualifies to lose your life! But the high animal skins should now cover their physical nakedness, as the animal's blood to cover up their "spiritual nakedness". And through the animal's blood was given forgiveness.
THIS WAS THE FIRST BLOOD covenant between God and man!
Then we find the same thing again in the story of Cain and Abel:
"... Abel presented a sacrifice, he gave the first-born lambs in the flock and the Lord ....... then to Abel and his offering ..." (Genesis 4:2-5 1)
God did not sacrifice to Cain, because it was only a vicarious LIFE BLOOD TO BE ABLE TO COVER OVER MAN SINS!
Cain also knew this, but he refused to obey God, as he believed that the product of his work should be enough. From this we see that from the very beginning, was a covenant in God's eyes identical to a blood covenant. The blood could not be replaced by the fruit of man's own deeds!
B: Covenant form and content
A blood covenant can not be repealed. Those who enter into a covenant, must promise to give his life, his loyalty and his protection to each other forever - until death do them ad. We will look into this ...
"After David's conversation with Saul were Jonathan's soul attached to David's soul. Jonathan loved him as his own life. The same day Saul took him out, he gave him no more to return to his father's house. And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as his own life. Jonathan took off his outer jacket he was wearing and gave it to David, as war-clothes, yes, even the sword and bow and belt. So David went out. He lamented that the wise in all that Saul put him to. Saul set him over the war, his men, and he was well liked by all the people, even of Saul's servants. "(1 Samuel 18:1-5)
Israel had a special ritual at the conclusion of a blood covenant. When two Jewish men met in such a covenant, this happened after a certain ceremony, in nine different phases. And all these ritual actions point towards Reconciliation of Jesus on the cross.
1. They replaced gown with one another.
The robe symbolizes the person / owner. Through this action was said: "I ask my life and my property at your disposal." This points towards the Atonement. Jesus died and gave His life for us. We died to ourselves and live for Him.
2. They replaced the belt with each other.
This belt made not to hold his pants up, but to retain their weapons, knife, bow, arrows and sword. Symbolic sets gave Mon apart everything that represented the strength and ability to protect each other. Was said by this action: "He who attacks you, attack me also. I will fight with you. I'll help you and protect you with everything in my power. I give my strength to you. If anyone comes against you, I undertake to fight with you. "
"The Lord is my strength and my shield. To him have my heart set their trust, and I am helped. So rejoice my heart, and I will praise him with my song. The Lord is their strength. He is a salvation, protection of his anointed. "(Psalm 28:7-8)
3. Mon cut an animal along, so it was divided into two equal halves.
These pieces allow you saw with the back side against each other, but with space between them for the covenant people. These two pieces symbolize a wall of blood on both sides, with the two covenant people in the middle. These were then back to back between the animal halves. In this way, was said to one another, "I die away from myself. I give up my rights. I do not just live for myself anymore, I live for you."
This is a model that CHRIST DIED FOR U.S. AND LIVER AND IN THE U.S.!
"I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. "(Galatians 2:20)
... And WE LIVE FOR GOD!
"And God is not God of the dead but the living. For they all live to him. "(Luke 8:38 p.m.)
"For none of us liveth to himself, and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die unto the Lord. Whether we live or die, then we hear the Lord. "(Romans 14:7-8)
4. Matters were in a "figure eight" in between the bloody pieces.
This "figure of eight walk" symbol of eternity. You would click on the center, face to face. They said therefore among themselves, "This covenant is eternal. Our journey together lasts until death do us part. If I die before you die, is my progeny committed to the Charter on. And if you die before I die, I am committed to meeting your offspring needs - whenever in my power. "
(Wedding ring is actually a symbol that contains the same message that this figure of eight walk).
Then said the curses upon themselves if they redeemed their covenant obligations. They pointed to the bloody beast that had been divided into two parts and said, "How may God do to me if I ever break this covenant."
The walk forever pointing towards Calvary Covenant, which is an eternal covenant.
"But the God of peace, who by virtue of an eternal covenant of blood caused great shepherd the sheep, our Lord Jesus from the dead, he must make you successful in everything good so that you may do his will, in that he works in us through Jesus Christ, what is good in his eyes. Him be glory forever and ever! Amen. "(Hebrews 13:20-21)
5. Mon held up his right hand, cut a small tear in the middle of the palm, and shook hands. While the blood was mixed, they swore allegiance to each other.
They sealed the pact with the blood from their hands. This points towards Jesus' hands were nailed for our sake.
6. Mon renamed or had an additional name.
(As with marriage). In this way, it was said: "You are a part of me and I am a part of you." Jesus has given us a new name through the Atonement. But this is only He who knows himself.
"He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches: He that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna. And I will give him a white stone, the stone is a new name written which no one knows except the one who gets it. "(Revelation 2:17)
7. Mon knife warmed in the flame, and sealed his wounds (in hand) with the knife. The bar is now highlighted in their hands as long as they lived.
This was an eternal memorial to the blood covenant. This mark should be reminiscent of the covenant responsibilities, obligations and rights. But this was also a testimony to others that they were not alone, but had a covenant partner. Anyone who would touch a covenant that was marked, must have expected to come into conflict with one that was stronger and more powerful than the first. Nail marked hands of Jesus is an eternal covenant mark of atonement on Calvary. When Jesus looks at his hands, he recalls the promises associated with the covenant.
8. So, eaten at a "covenant" meal.
Usually, this bread and wine, with a symbolic significance. As the Lord's Supper the bread represented the body and blood wine. Man was thus "one" with each other.
"Because there is one bread, we are one body we are many. For we all partake of the one bread. "(L Corinthians l0: 17)
9. Finally, traveled up a memorial on the covenant place.
This could be a pile of rocks or tree that was planted, etc. This can also be likened to "erect a monument" of others.
Jonathan betrayed King David when he needed him most
1. Samuel 20 40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said to him: Go and take them with you to town! 41 When the boy was gone, David came up on the south side [of stone], and he fell on his face to the earth, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed each other and wept together, and David sobbed. / 42 And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace! What we two have sworn in the name of the Lord when we said: The Lord be witness between me and thee and between my seed and thy seed for ever [it will be fixed]. 43 Then he got up and walked away, Jonathan went into the city.
King David and his men fled from King Saul, the father of Jonathan. Here and Now said was oppbruddets hours to get to Jonathan, but he sought his solace and support in his father and his regime, which would kill David. It is possible for a time to ride two horses, but not in the long run. It's good to be a good diplomat, but here was Jonathan said goodbye to his cynical father, but he remained true against his father and was also killed along with his father in battle with the Philistines. Scripture says:
4 Numbers 32 23 But if ye do so, as sins against the Lord, and ye shall know that your sin will find you.
What sin did Jonathan? Unnfallenhets sin. Scripture says:
James 4 17 Therefore, the one who knows what he will do well and do not do it, for him it is sin.
Jonathan had made a covenant with David, as he stood in full, there was his path. We can only hope that he was saved as by fire. But he was never completed their calling and ministry as he would be next after King David. He was not, but killed in the battle with the Philistines.
1. Samuel 31 2 And the Philistines were just on the heels of Saul and his sons, and they killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, Saul's sons. 6 So Saul died and his three sons and his armorbearer and all his men on the same day.
Jonathan fell - dead. King David fell and got up afterwards when he repented.
Word. 24. 16 For seven times fall the righteous and stands up again, but the wicked of the calamity.
Micah 7 8 Rejoice not over me, my enemies! When I fall, I will rise again, when I sit in darkness, the Lord light for me.
Why "affected" is not this Jonathan? He had gone too far with his father, who dypes way is to follow the world and Satan. Therefore, when God calls you to break it is incredibly important to be obedient, if not the result can be disastrous!
2. Kor. 6. 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers for what Samlaget have righteousness and iniquity, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 And what concord between Christ and Belial, or what cards and part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God, and between the idols? We're the living temple of God, as God has said, I will dwell among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Therefore, go out from them and separate yourselves from them, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you, 18 and I want to be a father unto you, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord, the Almighty.
God calls today from a people for himself, and not object to the Lord in some areas in your life. I can not say what God speaks to you and your heart, but never stand against God's call, but always say yes, would you betray - something we all do at times - so repent and confess it as sin. Have you first said yes to the Lord, he demands complete obedience.
James 4 5 Or think ye that the Scripture speaks in vain? With the zeal of his desire, the spirit he caused to dwell in us, but the greater is the grace he gives.
Will finally bring a true story. There was a lady who heard that her daughter had received a mission call, and paid too much for her mother. She said to the Lord, do not send her out on a mission field, take her either to you, I will not lose her. God heard her prayer, shortly afterwards, her only daughter died in a car accident. There is also saying no to God's calling. We see this with Jonathan, who had all the qualifications and had started on the road, but failed and was left behind, there was his path.
Galatians 3 3 Is In so foolish? I started in the Spirit, are now made perfect by the flesh?

Nr. 255: Audun Lysbakken shows the true face of socialism!
Nr. 255:
Audun Lysbakken shows the true face of socialism!
The socialist spirit is a direct insult against God, as in socialism as we see many times is Gudsfornektere that controls almost all socialist partiere more or less. The communists are socialists very close, therefore it is not strange that Audun Lysbakken has called for marxisist, which it looks like he's still there.
The storms around Audun Lysbakken, but it is an ideology and understanding behind his actions!
We see how Lysbakken sorry, but what Dagbladet, VG and all the other newspapers do not write about the ideology behind them. It is quite alright for a socialist to flay others, and give out to their own. It is in social simen to "share" but it is always at the expense of those who create veridiene, this brought to a head. Margaret Thatcher said in an article that sociality abilities only to take from the rich and distribute it to imelom. In other words they flay those denominator nothing but steal it from them and redistribute it among themselves as they please. We see now what Lysbakken does, he puts himself above all others, although central government and hand out to their own just as it suits the other cheeky youth, he has about himself.
Cash benefits shall be removed even if it is contrary to Norswk constitution to allow a decision be applied retroactively. We read: Refers to the Constitution § 97
"No law must tilbagevirkende Gives Power"
The case is not worse than the government does not have permission to do so, and all concerned should immediately take this up in a single complaint evntuelt, wait and sue the government on this basis. They have tried before and could not do it then either.
Should believers care about politics?
I am certainly excited about the injustice, lies and obvious errors and that things can be done better. There must be much, much better for Norway with a non-socialist government, or a pure AP government, only SV disappears from Norwegian politics for good, Goodbye you are not missing for the arrogant and helpless politics you stand for.
Socialism is a spiritual power
Of course it's sad with the people, but I'll give an example that it is possible to promote Jesus. The two daughters of mine went to kindergarten and they should stop singing for the food and just sing to the cow. But I said no, also to my daughters, just singing to God and not bother you, I said. The outcome was that they sang to God and cows for food. No, I'm not embarrassed to believe in God.
Stantsminister Jens Stoltenberg says openly that he does not believe in God
I believe and will always believe that Stoltenberg in many ways is a great shame for Norway and its people when he says he does not believe in God. The Bible says of such that they are in good Norwegian fools, in other words, Stoltenberg it, it looks also at the molbo politics he leads. The Socialists will have removed everything with God and good Christian and human values, such a shame they are too Norge.De will have all in their A4 pattern, but is good at taking liberties themselves.
Psalm 14 1. The fool says in his heart: There is no God. Evil, abominable, their deeds, no one is doing well.
Stoltenberg and all other sociality, with Norway's worst RE game in the lead are some fools, I'm fed up of people who dismiss God, he is life's greatest and most important reality!
Another new party
I saw that there was still a new Christian party, but those guys are more deluded than ever. They set up the Vision Norway to promote his new par, then a not understood anything what one is doing. A do not set up in such a channel that is too dark and not light. I hope that Christians do not turn call on either the new Christian party or Vision Norway, that's how I see several things here in Norway that does not measure both the spiritual and political level. Although we have a democracy here in Norway so I must be allowed to think that I want Vision Norway, Sosialistik left party and a few other things far, far away!
Jesus loved righteousness and hated iniquity, therefore, he was anointed by God
This is from my commentaries Hebrews. 1. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God has anointed you with oil of gladness above your fellow.
Jesus was perfect in hatred and fullommen in love. He hated the sin in all its shapes and facets, but loved God and His righteousness above all else. Therefore, God anointed him as no other.
John. e 3 34 He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit in full measure.

Nr. 254: Akan sin!
Nr. 254
Akan sin!
Setting up the Vision Norway as David Ostby and Emanuel Minos does is open up demons and seducing spirits among the Christians, here is the false prophet in Jan Hanvold depicted together with those ministers who once stood before God!
Joshua 7.1 But Israel bore him treacherously that the banned goods. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took anything that was banned. When the anger of the Lord's anger against Israel. 2 From Jericho, Joshua sent some men to Ai, which is located at Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them: Go up and spy out the land! So the men went up and spied out Ai. 3 And when they returned to Joshua, they said unto him, Let not all the people go up! About two or three thousand men to go up and take Ai, no need to trouble all the people there, for they are not many. 4 And he went about three thousand of its people up, but they fled before the men of Ai. 5 And the men of Ai killed about six and thirty of them and chased them from the gate just to the stone quarries and struck them down the slopes, as was the people's heart full of anxiety, and their courage was clean gone. 6 And Joshua rent his clothes and fell on their face to the ground before the ark, and lay there until evening, both he and the elders of Israel, and sprinkled dust on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, Ak Lord, Lord! Why did you then this people over Jordan when you would give us the Amorites hand and let us perish? I wish we had been content to be beyond the Jordan! 8, O my Lord! What shall I now say, after that Israel hath turned their enemies back? 9 When the Canaanites and all the population hears it, they besiege us and cut off our name from the earth: and what will you do with your great name? 10 Then the Lord said to Joshua: Arise! Why are you here on your face? 11 Israel has sinned and broken my covenant which I commanded them: they have taken of the accursed, they have stolen and hidden the stolen, they have hidden it among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but must flee before them, for they themselves come under the ban; In case you are not completely with it banned, I will no longer be with you. 13 Arise, let the people holy himself, and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow! For thus saith the Lord God: There is banned goods with thee, O Israel! You can not stand you against your enemies before you I stand completely by the devoted. 14 morrow early shall come forward by tribes, and the tribe which the LORD takes shall come forward clan by clan, and the seed which the LORD takes shall come near by households, and the house which the Lord takes shall come forward man by man. 15 And the one that banned are found in, he will opbrennes with fire, both he and all that he is, because he has broken the covenant of the LORD and has done a disgraceful thing in Israel. 16 The morning after Joshua rose up early and had Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken. 17 Then he sent the clans of Judah come forward and serahitt-seed was taken out, so he sent serahitt-seed come forward man by man, and Zimri was taken; 18 so he left his house come near man by man, and Achan , the son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 Then Joshua said to Achan, My son! Give the Lord God, honor and glory and tell me what you have done, hide it not from me! 20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, It is true, I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: so have I done: 21 I saw among the prey a precious Babylonian robe and two hundred shekels of silver and a gold bar weighing fifty shekels, these things I wanted to and took them, they lie buried in the ground under my tent, the silver underneath. 22 So Joshua sent some men there, and they ran to the tent, and found the things buried in his tent, the silver underneath. 23 They took them out of the tent and brought them to Joshua and all Israel and let them before the LORD. 24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver and the cloak and golden rod and his sons and daughters and his oxen and donkeys and sheep and his tent, and all he had, and they brought it up in the Valley of Achor . / 25 And Joshua said, for an accident that you have brought upon us! Today the Lord will bring evil upon thee! And all Israel stoned him, and they burnt them with fire and stoned them. 26 Then they cast a great heap of stones together over him, which is there to this day: and the Lord turned from his fierce anger. Therefore this place called Valley of Achor, the name it has to this day. Israel went from triumph to triumph, in a wonderful triumphal progress. It looked like they were impossible to stop. 2. Kor. 2. 14 But thanks be to God, which always allows us to have victory in Christ and through us to manifest its knowledge scent in each location! 15 For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 of these a fragrance from death to death, for Josephine a fragrance of life to life. It is wonderful when it is so, but here was win the series stopped? Why? Sin We read: Joshua 7.1 But Israel bore him treacherously that the banned goods. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took anything that was banned. When the anger of the Lord's anger against Israel. We return to this, but it was something that went before that we should take with us. It was that after they had captured Jericho Achan had so abused, which Joshua and the Israelites had brought with him what had happened. When they were about to enter Ai was a small filleby compared to Jericho, they would only use 3000, but it was defeated. Bl. a, 36 Israelites killed and the children of Israel did not know why they suffered defeat. Sin also opens up for demonic activity into the church I know that Emanuel Minos, David Ostby and other apostates Pentecostals do not understand at such longer. But to legalize sin in the church opens up to the enemy so that he gets a foothold. 2. Tim. 2. 25 as he meekness show them the way that say the contrary, if God but even would give them repentance, that they might know the truth 26 and wake up from his wine in the devil's snare, who they are captured by, so they must make his will. When those who live in sin and obviously against God's will recognize them as honest men and men of God which the head is not of course. When we understand that what we see in many parts of Christendom, especially the Pentecostal \ Charismatic wing that these people are prisoners of a drug. As Paul describes in the following way: "his wine in the devil's snare, who they are captured by, so they must do His will." So they are captured by alien spirits, both those who defend sin and those who live in sin. As both Emanuel Minos, David Ostby, Lise Karlsen and everyone else who pops up on the Vision Norway defender and leg imitate those taken by this. For me it is a fact that the Vision Norway and those in leadership there is nothing else than what Paul describes here, as I have already quoted, that they are "his wine in the devil's snare, who they are caught off, so they must do His will. " The sessions we see sometimes on TV and hear on the radio here in Oslo from VN, is nothing sort of a drunken party without alcohol, but they are captured by another substance abuse, substance abuse Satan who imagine they have a whole lot of stuff. Actually, this is a branch of the New Age that basically the entire charismatic movement is! Joshua is a great leader He was within its God and God spoke clearly to him, 11 Israel has sinned and broken my covenant which I commanded them: they have taken of the accursed, they have stolen and hidden the stolen, they have hidden it among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but must flee before them, for they themselves come under the ban; In case you are not completely with it banned, I will no longer be with you. Here was the Lord's voice clear, it was a shame come in, but it was through the Urim and tumin that this was revealed. The high priest had a breastpiece over it with the name of Israel's 12 tribes. What we are particularly liable by us is, that as well on the shoulders of the chest, Aaron bore the twelve tribes names engraved in precious gems. We note that all twelve tribes - all of the redeemed people - had his name there. Now think of that tribal name was engraved in the stones! They were not written in stone with chalk or a piece of paper that were glued in place. If so, they could easily have been erased. But now they were carved into the gem. If, when a name is removed, the stone had to be destroyed or stolen. The stones were also placed in a lattice-work of gold. This Wicker held every stone and every name in place. In one way or another called for the stone that belonged to the sin of the tribe among the tribes of Israel, as it was through the Urim and Tumin that sin was uncovered in Israel, it was only in Israel that it was in this way, no other countries or other religions than Judaism who experienced this. So it is today, with the church of God, we're the only one who can reveal sin through God's Spirit and God's words Urim and Tumin for us today. It was through this revelation that Achan was revealed, and today, God has the same. Then through the profiske spirit which reveals and through God's word. And there are those who also receive gifts given to reveal the spirit and point out sin in God's church. Akan is revealed 18 so he sent his family come forward man by man, and Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 Then Joshua said to Achan, My son! Give the Lord God, honor and glory and tell me what you have done, hide it not from me! The point is not really how much or how little he has done, or what he has done. But he has violated the law and the Lord's words. We read what he had done. 20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, It is true, I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: so have I done: 21 I saw among the prey a precious Babylonian robe and two hundred shekels of silver and a gold bar weighing fifty shekels, these things I wanted to and took them, they lie buried in the ground under my tent, the silver underneath. Here he had helped themselves freely of that which God had expressly told them not to take for themselves and make themselves useful. He had taken a Babylonian robe, silver and gold. Was this so dangerous? The heathens used this, but it is the world standard in the church? No, and again a no. As I see it and believe even then to have the Spirit of God, I am convinced that the church in Norway today live as children of Israel lived, when sin has been allowed in the church. It has become normalized and legitimate example to remarry after a divorce, but the font does not take lightly. Scripture speaks in a different direction than what the church today practice. What is the main problem? The main problem is different from church to church. We read in Revelation 2-3 to send the churches that send all seven churches were stuck in different things, there were only two of the churches that went off. Therefore it is necessary to look at the sins that have been legitimate and widely accepted in the various churches and movements. Sin creates separation between us and God Isaiah 59 1. Behold, the Lord's hand is not too short to save, and his ears are not deaf to hear. 2 But your iniquities have made a divorce between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so he does not hear. If a church is OPEN eg for homosexuality is a mortal sin. Is the church open for gjengiftede pastors, this is a mortal sin. The point is that when one is open to anything, and legitimizes it, then we live as children of Israel and the church is under judgment, not blessing. Where is the church of God today in Norway? The Church of Norway is under God's judgment, not God's full blessing 1. Pet. 4. 17 For it is now time for judgment to begin with the house of God, but it begins with us, what will be the end for those who will believe the gospel of God? 18 And it is just difficult saved, where shall it be to the wicked and the sinner? Even the righteous are saved hard, and the judgment begins with God's house. I am convinced that the Church of Norway, and elsewhere in the Western world has become so overloaded and tail heavy, that God takes no pleasure in it longer. Therefore, he must also take action to judgment. Those waiting for a great revival, I am afraid will be disappointed and cheated. It is only a judgment, disclosure and, secondly, the restoration and revival. The order is crucial. We can not log on to this, then we will not go the way of God and the Lord is not pleased with what we are doing and our service and work for him. Afterwards, when sin was removed took the Ai with "lightness" that we read about in Joshua 8 Sin keeps us from within and make us losers. But a righteous life by faith in the Son of God, makes us the winners. 1. John. b 5 2 By this we know that we love God's children, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? Everything is tied together by faith in Jesus and a righteous life, not an unholy life! Related links: http://the-heavenly-blog.janchristensen.net/2012/01/nr-225-false-prophets-now-into-your.html
Akan sin!
Setting up the Vision Norway as David Ostby and Emanuel Minos does is open up demons and seducing spirits among the Christians, here is the false prophet in Jan Hanvold depicted together with those ministers who once stood before God!
Joshua 7.1 But Israel bore him treacherously that the banned goods. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took anything that was banned. When the anger of the Lord's anger against Israel. 2 From Jericho, Joshua sent some men to Ai, which is located at Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them: Go up and spy out the land! So the men went up and spied out Ai. 3 And when they returned to Joshua, they said unto him, Let not all the people go up! About two or three thousand men to go up and take Ai, no need to trouble all the people there, for they are not many. 4 And he went about three thousand of its people up, but they fled before the men of Ai. 5 And the men of Ai killed about six and thirty of them and chased them from the gate just to the stone quarries and struck them down the slopes, as was the people's heart full of anxiety, and their courage was clean gone. 6 And Joshua rent his clothes and fell on their face to the ground before the ark, and lay there until evening, both he and the elders of Israel, and sprinkled dust on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, Ak Lord, Lord! Why did you then this people over Jordan when you would give us the Amorites hand and let us perish? I wish we had been content to be beyond the Jordan! 8, O my Lord! What shall I now say, after that Israel hath turned their enemies back? 9 When the Canaanites and all the population hears it, they besiege us and cut off our name from the earth: and what will you do with your great name? 10 Then the Lord said to Joshua: Arise! Why are you here on your face? 11 Israel has sinned and broken my covenant which I commanded them: they have taken of the accursed, they have stolen and hidden the stolen, they have hidden it among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but must flee before them, for they themselves come under the ban; In case you are not completely with it banned, I will no longer be with you. 13 Arise, let the people holy himself, and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow! For thus saith the Lord God: There is banned goods with thee, O Israel! You can not stand you against your enemies before you I stand completely by the devoted. 14 morrow early shall come forward by tribes, and the tribe which the LORD takes shall come forward clan by clan, and the seed which the LORD takes shall come near by households, and the house which the Lord takes shall come forward man by man. 15 And the one that banned are found in, he will opbrennes with fire, both he and all that he is, because he has broken the covenant of the LORD and has done a disgraceful thing in Israel. 16 The morning after Joshua rose up early and had Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken. 17 Then he sent the clans of Judah come forward and serahitt-seed was taken out, so he sent serahitt-seed come forward man by man, and Zimri was taken; 18 so he left his house come near man by man, and Achan , the son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 Then Joshua said to Achan, My son! Give the Lord God, honor and glory and tell me what you have done, hide it not from me! 20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, It is true, I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: so have I done: 21 I saw among the prey a precious Babylonian robe and two hundred shekels of silver and a gold bar weighing fifty shekels, these things I wanted to and took them, they lie buried in the ground under my tent, the silver underneath. 22 So Joshua sent some men there, and they ran to the tent, and found the things buried in his tent, the silver underneath. 23 They took them out of the tent and brought them to Joshua and all Israel and let them before the LORD. 24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver and the cloak and golden rod and his sons and daughters and his oxen and donkeys and sheep and his tent, and all he had, and they brought it up in the Valley of Achor . / 25 And Joshua said, for an accident that you have brought upon us! Today the Lord will bring evil upon thee! And all Israel stoned him, and they burnt them with fire and stoned them. 26 Then they cast a great heap of stones together over him, which is there to this day: and the Lord turned from his fierce anger. Therefore this place called Valley of Achor, the name it has to this day. Israel went from triumph to triumph, in a wonderful triumphal progress. It looked like they were impossible to stop. 2. Kor. 2. 14 But thanks be to God, which always allows us to have victory in Christ and through us to manifest its knowledge scent in each location! 15 For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 of these a fragrance from death to death, for Josephine a fragrance of life to life. It is wonderful when it is so, but here was win the series stopped? Why? Sin We read: Joshua 7.1 But Israel bore him treacherously that the banned goods.

Nr. 253: If you do not get discipline like any other, you are not sons, but illegitimate children!
Nr. 253:
If you do not get discipline like any other, you are not sons, but illegitimate children!
Although the pain, then hear it that we get no, also from our heaven Father
This is from my commentaries from Hebrews 12 1. When we have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles us, and with perseverance the race that is set before us,
This cloud of witness is all that has gone before us and who has stood out the race and fight. They cheer us up today so that we will achieve the goal; sluttfrelsen.
Then we put the burden upon, it may be much that is also not directly sin. And sin will be 100% certain ruin for us on the path of faith. Endure speaks of the Christian life is more like a marathon race to calculate than a 100 m race!
2 with eyes fixed on him who is of faith author and finisher, Jesus. To get the joy he had in store, he endured the cross, without despising the shame, and now he has set itself the right of the throne of God.
We have read about many heroes of faith but they are all people with limitations and errors and omissions that all of us. Only thing that we are constantly in all parts may have as a role model in all things is the Lord Jesus. Jesus endured suffering aspect of God's life followed by exaltation. How is he a role model and example for us all.
With eyes fixed on Jesus is also keeping in Christian life, people disappoint and fail. Also an even makes it worse sometimes.
2. Tim. 2. 13 If we are faithless, he is faithful, for he can not deny himself.
3 Yes, think of him who endured such opposition from sinners, lest you become weary and discouraged.
Think of him, says the author. It is healthy and the right to think of Jesus. And we will also let his word dwell among us. We get tired and can get bored. Then we let the focus be Christ and not ourselves. Resistance, we must reckon with. And get discouraged too, as is the solution to this as all other areas of Christian life.
Jesus and be his eyes and thought circled around him.
1. Kor. 1. 30 Ye are his works in Christ Jesus, who has become our wisdom from God, our righteousness, sanctification and redemption, 31 that the boast, the glory of the Lord, as it is written.
4 In the struggle against sin you have not yet made such resistance that it came to life.
At the beginning of the Christian revival in Jerusalem, the Jesus-believers persecuted (read Apostegjerningene). As normalized things up and even many priests were obedient against the faith. There was nothing of the external resistor that got someone to back out and even go back to the Act.
Acts 6. 7 Word of God reaching more and more, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly. Also a number of priests became obedient to the faith.
5 Have you forgotten the electrifying word that speaks to you as to sons:
My son, despise not the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you.
The fact that Paul was so strongly with them, was painful yet necessary.
Oh hear we go to is actually part of it to be disciplined and reprimanded by the Lord.
The fact that God also uses people to treat a number of times makes the process more humiliating, but it is necessary to take corrective too!
6 For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and punishes every son he receives.
To get the code violation is proof that you are a true child of God. I as a father raising my own kids, not the neighbor. So it is with God, he is only raising their own children.
7 Endure hardship, it serves to educate you, God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
One day all the pain to be a thing of the past. Now in the meantime, God teaches us to future glory. It is quite natural that there is a process in pain.
All life growing pain has elements in it. If it had been dead was never known to change and pain.
8 If you do not get discipline like any other, you are not sons, but illegitimate children.
Here is Paul built on what is natural for us. As a sign that one is a real children as are also learning, instruction and discipline with, of course, also on the spiritual plane.
9 We have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Have we not much more reason to bow down before him who is the Father of spirits, that we may live!
Our Father in heaven is our common spiritual father. He treats us both equally and induelt. Similar in the sense that no one has tinned with him because of external things, prestige and rank in people and their own eyes. Induelt because he treats each one as best and expedient for the individual.
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best. But he does it for our good, that we may share in his holiness.
God in heaven is a responsible, reliable and loving Father. He is the very best Father and Mother. Nothing of what he does, some do better, and after him even better.
Psalm 103 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. 14 For he knows how we are made, he remembereth that we are dust.
11 All discipline seems pleasant at the moment to be more of sorrow than of joy. But since it gives peace and righteousness in those who have been trained by it.
Here's what Paul is repeating itself. But the path of least resistance is for us humans but it is very often not the way of God. When the Israelites left Egypt they went through the most dangerous road, and the most difficult. But it was God's way and that God could do great work and show who he was.
12 Therefore, straight out the hands relax and strengthen the feeble knees!
This is a quote from Isaiah, which indicates that the Constitution is very poor. When a return to law and self-righteousness is just as serious in the eyes of God as living in sin and immorality. It is only and alone Christ as Savior and it is through him we shall also live as believers. This is the Bible and New Testament core truth.
Acts 4. 12 And there is salvation in any other: for there is neither any other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
(1930 tr.).
Kol. 2. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.
13 Let your feet go straight ahead on the road, so it does not go limp out of joint but rather be healthy again.
Again quoting from Paul GT, now it is from Psalm 73 Asaf had not lived close to the Lord but only looked at the circumstances, therefore, was made a spiritual darkness over him. This could also be transferred to the church here and they had to take lessons and do not fall into the same ditch.
14 careful to live in peace with all, and striving for holiness, for without holiness no one will see the Lord.
The fact that these things had made great and internal strife in the church in Jerusalem is quite understandable. When developing the voice comes to the surface are also conflicts with the rule. But that should not be. Therefore it is necessary that the sanctification process accelerates and increases throughout his life! (End of quote).
Jesus is the only
There I realized very quickly in my Christian life, especially after I was baptized with the Holy Spirit. That people will always disappoint and fail, even if it hurts when you experience it. So to have eyes and attention fixed on Jesus, it is the only viable and safe way in life as believers. Talk to him and invites him into all aspects of your life, he lives to make intercession for you and me!
Discipline is God's way with us all
After the experience of salvation and when we have cravings for beautiful and had a pleasant and enjoyable, then comes a new and more important phase in our lives. Where discipline and parenting comes into play. Jesus spoke about making disciples, for this is what it is all about. Do not like to hear something negative about yourself, you're in danger of losing his life in God. For Jesus crop up. This process is painful but it is the only way for us to be like him, or they are so much in our lives to sows the industry so that we stagnate and end up in our lives as believers. This process here is the one that makes us fit for the kingdom of God to be his associates. It is only when we can say like Paul that we are believers of the "right" variety, which the enemy can not reach.
This is from my commentaries Galatians 2 20 I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
The law only shows God's standard and our helplessness and shortcomings. What is the solution? As always, Jesus Christ. He moves into the faith, and he, the new creature, can not and will sin. When he gets to be Lord, we live as Christ in this world.
21 I do not nullify the grace of God. For if one can win justice through the law, Christ died course to no avail.
Life, Old Adam will die, and it happens when the law. When we realize that we are inadequate. Then the Spirit and the new life that makes the solution is in place!
At the same time we are born again by the gospel, the power of God unto salvation.
The law is not valid and it requires the whole time. Follow it and you will live, follow it and you will die. When I choose the latter, to die. So we stand up again, in Christ, then neither can the law require, be allowed to require or may require some of us. We are dead, but Jesus through His Spirit live by faith in our hearts and he lives his life as well with us, great! There is a shift that the law is to "help" to by showing us our shortcomings and inadequacies. But the solution is Jesus, the gospel, the new life and the Spirit working in and through the believer! It is when the law and the gospel kept separate, that we can use and make us the use of the law. It is only the gospel that saves and sets free. (End of quote).
The secret of living as a believer here on earth is to say like Paul: "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. "
The secret is that Christ lives in me
Yet for the spiritual education and development is essential discipline. What is discipline? It can be said about it, but it is to feel the hand of God as a Father's hand, where a well know and experience the consequences of their actions.
To experience the discipline is to get a no, and accept it. Know this does not fit for today's spoiled and self-rule that allows believers that their hearts in the most part, but this is the biblical way to go.
Here is the meaning of the word: discipline, discipline, kustus. Penalties; get discipline for anything.
After we have gone through this process we are fit for service in the kingdom of God more than ever, God and the Lamb be praised from now until forever!

If you do not get discipline like any other, you are not sons, but illegitimate children!
Although the pain, then hear it that we get no, also from our heaven Father
This is from my commentaries from Hebrews 12 1. When we have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles us, and with perseverance the race that is set before us,
This cloud of witness is all that has gone before us and who has stood out the race and fight. They cheer us up today so that we will achieve the goal; sluttfrelsen.
Then we put the burden upon, it may be much that is also not directly sin. And sin will be 100% certain ruin for us on the path of faith. Endure speaks of the Christian life is more like a marathon race to calculate than a 100 m race!
2 with eyes fixed on him who is of faith author and finisher, Jesus. To get the joy he had in store, he endured the cross, without despising the shame, and now he has set itself the right of the throne of God.
We have read about many heroes of faith but they are all people with limitations and errors and omissions that all of us. Only thing that we are constantly in all parts may have as a role model in all things is the Lord Jesus. Jesus endured suffering aspect of God's life followed by exaltation. How is he a role model and example for us all.
With eyes fixed on Jesus is also keeping in Christian life, people disappoint and fail. Also an even makes it worse sometimes.
2. Tim. 2. 13 If we are faithless, he is faithful, for he can not deny himself.
3 Yes, think of him who endured such opposition from sinners, lest you become weary and discouraged.
Think of him, says the author. It is healthy and the right to think of Jesus. And we will also let his word dwell among us. We get tired and can get bored. Then we let the focus be Christ and not ourselves. Resistance, we must reckon with. And get discouraged too, as is the solution to this as all other areas of Christian life.
Jesus and be his eyes and thought circled around him.
1. Kor. 1. 30 Ye are his works in Christ Jesus, who has become our wisdom from God, our righteousness, sanctification and redemption, 31 that the boast, the glory of the Lord, as it is written.
4 In the struggle against sin you have not yet made such resistance that it came to life.
At the beginning of the Christian revival in Jerusalem, the Jesus-believers persecuted (read Apostegjerningene). As normalized things up and even many priests were obedient against the faith. There was nothing of the external resistor that got someone to back out and even go back to the Act.
Acts 6. 7 Word of God reaching more and more, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly. Also a number of priests became obedient to the faith.
5 Have you forgotten the electrifying word that speaks to you as to sons:
My son, despise not the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you.
The fact that Paul was so strongly with them, was painful yet necessary.
Oh hear we go to is actually part of it to be disciplined and reprimanded by the Lord.
The fact that God also uses people to treat a number of times makes the process more humiliating, but it is necessary to take corrective too!
6 For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and punishes every son he receives.
To get the code violation is proof that you are a true child of God. I as a father raising my own kids, not the neighbor. So it is with God, he is only raising their own children.
7 Endure hardship, it serves to educate you, God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
One day all the pain to be a thing of the past. Now in the meantime, God teaches us to future glory. It is quite natural that there is a process in pain.
All life growing pain has elements in it. If it had been dead was never known to change and pain.
8 If you do not get discipline like any other, you are not sons, but illegitimate children.
Here is Paul built on what is natural for us. As a sign that one is a real children as are also learning, instruction and discipline with, of course, also on the spiritual plane.
9 We have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Have we not much more reason to bow down before him who is the Father of spirits, that we may live!
Our Father in heaven is our common spiritual father. He treats us both equally and induelt. Similar in the sense that no one has tinned with him because of external things, prestige and rank in people and their own eyes. Induelt because he treats each one as best and expedient for the individual.
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best. But he does it for our good, that we may share in his holiness.
God in heaven is a responsible, reliable and loving Father. He is the very best Father and Mother. Nothing of what he does, some do better, and after him even better.
Psalm 103 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. 14 For he knows how we are made, he remembereth that we are dust.
11 All discipline seems pleasant at the moment to be more of sorrow than of joy. But since it gives peace and righteousness in those who have been trained by it.
Here's what Paul is repeating itself. But the path of least resistance is for us humans but it is very often not the way of God. When the Israelites left Egypt they went through the most dangerous road, and the most difficult. But it was God's way and that God could do great work and show who he was.
12 Therefore, straight out the hands relax and strengthen the feeble knees!
This is a quote from Isaiah, which indicates that the Constitution is very poor. When a return to law and self-righteousness is just as serious in the eyes of God as living in sin and immorality. It is only and alone Christ as Savior and it is through him we shall also live as believers. This is the Bible and New Testament core truth.
Acts 4. 12 And there is salvation in any other: for there is neither any other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
(1930 tr.).
Kol. 2. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.
13 Let your feet go straight ahead on the road, so it does not go limp out of joint but rather be healthy again.
Again quoting from Paul GT, now it is from Psalm 73 Asaf had not lived close to the Lord but only looked at the circumstances, therefore, was made a spiritual darkness over him. This could also be transferred to the church here and they had to take lessons and do not fall into the same ditch.
14 careful to live in peace with all, and striving for holiness, for without holiness no one will see the Lord.
The fact that these things had made great and internal strife in the church in Jerusalem is quite understandable. When developing the voice comes to the surface are also conflicts with the rule. But that should not be. Therefore it is necessary that the sanctification process accelerates and increases throughout his life! (End of quote).

I am so sorry to hear about homosexuals and lespiske how much sin is. That's right, but anyone who wants to understand and it's so obvious that it is a pity, that you do not need to harp on for ages as too many have done and are doing at times.
Newspaper editorials and other skills that convey something rarely ever bringing forward the agenda that puts people at elections and separates wheat from the chaff
When reading the agenda, not least leading articles in newspapers all Christians as a mostly asleep. Where are those who set the agenda?
I have unfortunately had to repeat myself again and again to keep out certain things. Now in the past it gjengiftede preachers. The relations and attention on my part that makes this is noticed, since the majority of believers will be like ostriches running head in the sand and hope that the father and the problems are over, but it does not.
The agenda in Norway is always pretty much claptrap and it can not offend anyone!
When one reads the newspapers and other Christian believers, what type it becomes so I say "man GodagaR ax handle." Let the agenda be relevant and to please everyone is dead.

Nr. 251: Torp do not and will not understand!
Nr. 251:
Torp do not and will not understand!
He writes on his blog here: "I have nothing against Christensen and Ottosen.
It's not about respect, but that none were re-married as believers to be Pastors, pastor or teacher in the church of God, that's the crux!
This image of Jan Aage Torp
Jan Åge Torp on his blog:
Jan-Kåre Christensen has hardly advisers around him, and it is sad, because he needs it, as we all do. Jan-Kåre Christensen has a nice family who even came and heard me preach in Pentecostal church Saron Grorud in 2006. And Jan-Kåre wrote to me afterwards and asked to preach in Oslo Church, which I had to politely refuse ... Since then he changed his behavior towards me, before my divorce. And his attack is extended to honorable men Norvald Yri, David Ostby and many more. "
There are a lot of untruths!
Firstly, I would not get one errand to hear him preach at Grorud, but we belonged to the congregation at Grorud and attended all meetings where no matter who preached.
When it comes to the invitation to preach as we had recently moved from the west coast to Oslo and I wrote to some churches, if possible, to have some meetings and got little response, and it's okay.
And that the density that I do not have counselors, etc. I have a lot more, and I have a wife who I listen to and has not left me and I have left, thank God for it.
I have not changed behavior but Torp lived with his first wife and then could not say anything on his moral standard, but it was when he remarried, and with a woman around. 20 years younger as he both went against the word of God to remarry but to name it for him and many others are talking to deaf ears but I do it anyway because I know that there is truth and what God's word teaches. And to marry one who is about. 20 years younger who preach seems also very special to me, but it's not me who mentioned it but Espen Ottesen.
Respect
Torp want respect, it is perfectly legitimate, but that he can get only with me that day as re-married his resignation as pastor preaches and which seems pretty hopeless to hope for. But this is where the problem is!
It is gjengiftede Pastors and leaders who are the core of the problem
This I have now written so much about before, that I'm referring to what else I've written so as not to repeat myself all the time, but I take an excerpt from an article I wrote on this subject, this is where the crux is Thanks for your attention.
Marriage - in the light of God's word!
Today, cohabitation is widely accepted among the people - from the top of the social ladder and entered in the "Christian" series, but the Bible cohabitation as adultery and says that those who live so will not inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9, 7:2 and 1 Thessalonians 4:2-5).
God wanted man well and instituted the lifelong marriage as the framework of the love between man and woman. (Mark 10:7 and Ephesians 5:31)
The importance of this is also reflected by the fact that the Lord took this in the 6th commandment says "Thou shalt not commit adultery," or as it might be translated: "Thou shalt not commit adultery."
There are some basic principles that runs through everything that the Bible speaks of the marriage. There are things that are immutable, they belong to the creation order. God emphasizes this when he says in 1 Puree. 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and be with his wife, and they shall become one flesh."
Jesus also refers to this when he speaks of marriage in Mat. 19:3 ff. The spouses shall be one flesh and jointly share both joys and sorrows that this implies.
The Bible puts marriage into a social and legal context. The word from 1M 2:24 says that "man shall leave his father and mother."
This means he goes from a legal and social context and into another, where it is clear that these two by marriage has formed a new unit that will last a lifetime.
Based on the word of God will not help out a legally binding confirmation that the marriage is entered into.
The Bible has no formula for how a marriage should be entered into. The social arrangements of marriage is valid, if they do not violate God's word. It is important to emphasize is that marriage is a legal change of lifelong marital status made in full disclosure and confirmed by the couple, their parents and authorities. For a Christian, it is natural that the marriage is also entered under the word of God and prayer.
A cohabitation lacks any biblical justification. It is based on subjective feelings and private decisions. Cohabitation is a lack of willingness to make a decision of the lifelong nature and a desire to live together sexually without taking on the obligation of the Bible relates to such unions.
Divorce
The Bible says that divorce is against God's will. Jesus says in Matthew 19:4-6, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said cause shall a man leave father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh? So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. "See also Mark 10:6-9, Luke 4:18 p.m.; 1 Corinthians 7:10-11.
The New Testament has three specific exceptions where divorce is not sin. The one exception is found in Matthew 5:32 "But I tell you, whoever divorces his wife for any reason other than adultery is the reason why she commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. "
The other exception is discussed in 1 Corinthians 7:12-16. Here is what an unbelieving spouse demands a divorce if the other does not want to enter the Christian faith.
And when the other dies. Rooms. 7. 3 So long as man lives, the one who committed adultery if she marries another. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law and does not break the marriage if she marries another. Other exceptions are not mentioned in the NT.
Remarriage
The Bible also speaks clearly in this case. In Luke 4:18 p.m. says, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. "
Jesus' words in Mark 10:11-12 is not to be misunderstood, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, is guilty of adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she runs adultery. "
Paul writes as clear in the 1st Corinthians 7:10-11: "And unto the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife must not separate from her husband. But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. "
We note that Paul refers to a messenger from the Lord. It provided only two possibilities for the estranged wife: to remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. The exception is if there is adultery even inside the image.
But the innocent party may remarry after a divorce based on Matthew 19:9 where Jesus says, "But I tell you, whoever divorces his wife for any reason other than fornication, and marries another woman commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. "
We have to follow a train of thought which we find in the GT. If one is allowed to stand, one can enter into a new marriage. Therefore, there is the possibility of remarriage under three conditions, where one is "legal" signs.
These are three of the following:
1. Spouse dies.
2. The infidel demands divorce.
3. One spouse has committed adultery and do not want reconciliation.
Service and remarriage
But anyway is a sign that has been faithful and has a service, there will be stricter criteria. It says there are several places in Paul's teaching that one should be a one woman man (see Pastoral letters). What?
James says in his letter chapter 3:1: "My brothers! Not many of you become teachers! For we know that we will have the stricter judgment. "
The responsibility is very great to be a preacher. It's a big difference to be a regular church member and to be preaching. But it is not to act that one is more loved by God, but it has to be true over the responsibility God has given. I believe that God will forgive any sin. But there are other things that need to be considered, a preacher holds any special responsibility. Would someone in a secular context, allowed a pedophile to work with children? No. Equally clear is the Scripture that we should not allow a re-married preacher to preach to other people with a Pastoral and teaches responsibility. That one is Evangelist such as Many Frank was after he got divorced, we are allowed. But do not be appointed as Pastor, Pastoral or elder. One should not be the leader of the flock and the herd, but be even under a system of inspection.
But when one holds an office as a preacher, so much is required. That's why James says that not many to be preachers. Why can not a preacher taking liberties only at his own expense, he has a special responsibility upon God and their fellow men.
When it comes to marriage, it is not permissible for a minister to marry again under any circumstances, when he was ineligible for the office he has received. It's like an athlete cut off his legs, he is no longer fit to be a sportsman, if he wants. A preacher should be a woman's man, we see Paul teaches about time and time again. (1 Tim. 3.2 and Titus 1:6).
Should anything be unclear here, so I recommend submitting a question to our blog or write something yourself there. This should and should have been a common Christian understanding there was gjengiftede and could go far and round. There are spirits, demonic thereof that follows in the footsteps of loose sexual and moral life.
1. Tim. 4. 1. The Spirit speaketh expressly says that in latter times some shall depart from the faith. They should stick to seducing spirits, and doctrines stemming from evil powers. 2 They are deceived by lying hypocrites that are seared in his conscience. 3 These people refuse to marry and requires that one should stay away from certain types of food, even God has created this so that those who believe and know the truth, shall receive it with thanks. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is reprehensible when it is received with thanksgiving. 5 It is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
There is no question of A and B Christians. Marriage is a God-given scheme, which also shows the relationship between Christ and the church. Therefore it is in the nature here, that there are such large demands. God stands behind his word, so this is an example of something even bigger and richer. Our relationship with Jesus and his relationship with us. So be careful with both the one you marry and you are not soiled your life here. If you live in accordance with God's word here, is the best predicted not that you grow as a believer.
1. Tess. 4. 1. Moreover, brethren, pray, and we admonish you in the Lord Jesus, You have received and learned from us how you should live and be pleasing to God, and so do you live already. But you must make even greater progress in this! 2 You know what commandments we gave you from the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is God's will - your sanctification: You should keep away from fornication, 4 every one should know to win his own wife in holiness and honor, 5 not in the sensual passion as the heathen they know not God. 6 And no need to do his brother wrong or deceive him in these things. Lord punishes all such, we have previously said and put you in anger. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but to a holy life. 8 Therefore, whoever rejects this rejects not man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
We read that writing provides a clear testimony of the priest in the Old Covenant how he should live, who stood in the same responsibility before God and their fellow man as the preacher and supervising the man standing in the new covenant. 3. Genesis 9:14 p.m.: "A widow or a divorced or a dishonored woman or a prostitute - something he must not marry. Only a virgin of his people shall he take to wife. "
We read that God gives the same testimony and require the same of the priest during the upcoming 1000 årsriket to serve the people of Jerusalem in Israel, where the law shall go forth from it. Ezekiel 44:22: "A widow or a woman that her husband has divorced from, they will not take a wife, but only virgins of Israel. But they can take a widow who is the widow of a priest. "
When Scripture is so clear when it comes to the priest of the old covenant and the 1000-årsriket, it is no less clear when it comes to the church-time household, we who live in the loveliest and greatest privilege of all, "one woman man."
As the Scripture says that it is demonic and forførisk refusing a minister and overseer to marry (1 Tim. 4:1), it is to come under the same negative conditions to accept and allowed the preachers to marry again while the spouse lives. It is only by death that it may be appropriate for an overseer to marry again, and then with one who is not divorced!
Among other Derek Prince was a great Bible teacher married a divorcee, those were not God's will. Hopefully he was saved, though he did accept God's will.
But the person who is re-married might have some loose face as Evangelist, but never stand in a Pastoral and Pastoral role.
As far as I know about it, practicing the great Pentecostal direction in America Assembly of God this? If this is true, they are a model for all others. Encourages others to also get more information there and other places are taken up. I do not consider that I have the ultimate and complete truth, but God has shown me in his word. It keeps my back and the gift I have got to teach. It allows I arrive not least Vå website which you can read several article on this subject and many other topics from God's word.
Assembly of God has also written statues for how to go about ministers who cheat, etc. It was such this that made the great and mighty evangelist Jimmy Swaggart was expelled, which turned out in retrospect was necessary and proper when he was not free his sexdemoner and desires. We must hold ourselves to Jesus and God's word in this time, it will be fine! If not then it ends in apostasy and disaster!

Torp do not and will not understand!
He writes on his blog here: "I have nothing against Christensen and Ottosen.
It's not about respect, but that none were re-married as believers to be Pastors, pastor or teacher in the church of God, that's the crux!
This image of Jan Aage Torp
Jan Åge Torp on his blog:
Jan-Kåre Christensen has hardly advisers around him, and it is sad, because he needs it, as we all do. Jan-Kåre Christensen has a nice family who even came and heard me preach in Pentecostal church Saron Grorud in 2006. And Jan-Kåre wrote to me afterwards and asked to preach in Oslo Church, which I had to politely refuse ... Since then he changed his behavior towards me, before my divorce. And his attack is extended to honorable men Norvald Yri, David Ostby and many more. "
There are a lot of untruths!
Firstly, I would not get one errand to hear him preach at Grorud, but we belonged to the congregation at Grorud and attended all meetings where no matter who preached.
When it comes to the invitation to preach as we had recently moved from the west coast to Oslo and I wrote to some churches, if possible, to have some meetings and got little response, and it's okay.
And that the density that I do not have counselors, etc. I have a lot more, and I have a wife who I listen to and has not left me and I have left, thank God for it.
I have not changed behavior but Torp lived with his first wife and then could not say anything on his moral standard, but it was when he remarried, and with a woman around. 20 years younger as he both went against the word of God to remarry but to name it for him and many others are talking to deaf ears but I do it anyway because I know that there is truth and what God's word teaches. And to marry one who is about. 20 years younger who preach seems also very special to me, but it's not me who mentioned it but Espen Ottesen.
Respect
Torp want respect, it is perfectly legitimate, but that he can get only with me that day as re-married his resignation as pastor preaches and which seems pretty hopeless to hope for. But this is where the problem is!
It is gjengiftede Pastors and leaders who are the core of the problem
This I have now written so much about before, that I'm referring to what else I've written so as not to repeat myself all the time, but I take an excerpt from an article I wrote on this subject, this is where the crux is Thanks for your attention.
Marriage - in the light of God's word!
Today, cohabitation is widely accepted among the people - from the top of the social ladder and entered in the "Christian" series, but the Bible cohabitation as adultery and says that those who live so will not inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9, 7:2 and 1 Thessalonians 4:2-5).
God wanted man well and instituted the lifelong marriage as the framework of the love between man and woman. (Mark 10:7 and Ephesians 5:31)
The importance of this is also reflected by the fact that the Lord took this in the 6th commandment says "Thou shalt not commit adultery," or as it might be translated: "Thou shalt not commit adultery."
There are some basic principles that runs through everything that the Bible speaks of the marriage. There are things that are immutable, they belong to the creation order. God emphasizes this when he says in 1 Puree. 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and be with his wife, and they shall become one flesh."
Jesus also refers to this when he speaks of marriage in Mat. 19:3 ff. The spouses shall be one flesh and jointly share both joys and sorrows that this implies.
The Bible puts marriage into a social and legal context. The word from 1M 2:24 says that "man shall leave his father and mother."
This means he goes from a legal and social context and into another, where it is clear that these two by marriage has formed a new unit that will last a lifetime.
Based on the word of God will not help out a legally binding confirmation that the marriage is entered into.
The Bible has no formula for how a marriage should be entered into. The social arrangements of marriage is valid, if they do not violate God's word. It is important to emphasize is that marriage is a legal change of lifelong marital status made in full disclosure and confirmed by the couple, their parents and authorities. For a Christian, it is natural that the marriage is also entered under the word of God and prayer.
A cohabitation lacks any biblical justification. It is based on subjective feelings and private decisions. Cohabitation is a lack of willingness to make a decision of the lifelong nature and a desire to live together sexually without taking on the obligation of the Bible relates to such unions.
Divorce
The Bible says that divorce is against God's will. Jesus says in Matthew 19:4-6, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said cause shall a man leave father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh? So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. "See also Mark 10:6-9, Luke 4:18 p.m.; 1 Corinthians 7:10-11.
The New Testament has three specific exceptions where divorce is not sin. The one exception is found in Matthew 5:32 "But I tell you, whoever divorces his wife for any reason other than adultery is the reason why she commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. "
The other exception is discussed in 1 Corinthians 7:12-16. Here is what an unbelieving spouse demands a divorce if the other does not want to enter the Christian faith.
And when the other dies. Rooms. 7. 3 So long as man lives, the one who committed adultery if she marries another. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law and does not break the marriage if she marries another. Other exceptions are not mentioned in the NT.
Remarriage
The Bible also speaks clearly in this case. In Luke 4:18 p.m. says, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. "
Jesus' words in Mark 10:11-12 is not to be misunderstood, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, is guilty of adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she runs adultery. "
Paul writes as clear in the 1st Corinthians 7:10-11: "And unto the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife must not separate from her husband. But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. "
We note that Paul refers to a messenger from the Lord. It provided only two possibilities for the estranged wife: to remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. The exception is if there is adultery even inside the image.
But the innocent party may remarry after a divorce based on Matthew 19:9 where Jesus says, "But I tell you, whoever divorces his wife for any reason other than fornication, and marries another woman commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. "
We have to follow a train of thought which we find in the GT. If one is allowed to stand, one can enter into a new marriage. Therefore, there is the possibility of remarriage under three conditions, where one is "legal" signs.
These are three of the following:
1. Spouse dies.
2. The infidel demands divorce.
3. One spouse has committed adultery and do not want reconciliation.
Service and remarriage
But anyway is a sign that has been faithful and has a service, there will be stricter criteria. It says there are several places in Paul's teaching that one should be a one woman man (see Pastoral letters). What?
James says in his letter chapter 3:1: "My brothers! Not many of you become teachers! For we know that we will have the stricter judgment. "
The responsibility is very great to be a preacher. It's a big difference to be a regular church member and to be preaching. But it is not to act that one is more loved by God, but it has to be true over the responsibility God has given. I believe that God will forgive any sin. But there are other things that need to be considered, a preacher holds any special responsibility. Would someone in a secular context, allowed a pedophile to work with children? No. Equally clear is the Scripture that we should not allow a re-married preacher to preach to other people with a Pastoral and teaches responsibility. That one is Evangelist such as Many Frank was after he got divorced, we are allowed. But do not be appointed as Pastor, Pastoral or elder. One should not be the leader of the flock and the herd, but be even under a system of inspection.
But when one holds an office as a preacher, so much is required. That's why James says that not many to be preachers. Why can not a preacher taking liberties only at his own expense, he has a special responsibility upon God and their fellow men.
When it comes to marriage, it is not permissible for a minister to marry again under any circumstances, when he was ineligible for the office he has received. It's like an athlete cut off his legs, he is no longer fit to be a sportsman, if he wants. A preacher should be a woman's man, we see Paul teaches about time and time again. (1 Tim. 3.2 and Titus 1:6).
Should anything be unclear here, so I recommend submitting a question to our blog or write something yourself there. This should and should have been a common Christian understanding there was gjengiftede and could go far and round. There are spirits, demonic thereof that follows in the footsteps of loose sexual and moral life.
1. Tim. 4. 1. The Spirit speaketh expressly says that in latter times some shall depart from the faith. They should stick to seducing spirits, and doctrines stemming from evil powers. 2 They are deceived by lying hypocrites that are seared in his conscience. 3 These people refuse to marry and requires that one should stay away from certain types of food, even God has created this so that those who believe and know the truth, shall receive it with thanks. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is reprehensible when it is received with thanksgiving. 5 It is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
There is no question of A and B Christians. Marriage is a God-given scheme, which also shows the relationship between Christ and the church. Therefore it is in the nature here, that there are such large demands. God stands behind his word, so this is an example of something even bigger and richer. Our relationship with Jesus and his relationship with us. So be careful with both the one you marry and you are not soiled your life here. If you live in accordance with God's word here, is the best predicted not that you grow as a believer.
1. Tess. 4. 1. Moreover, brethren, pray, and we admonish you in the Lord Jesus, You have received and learned from us how you should live and be pleasing to God, and so do you live already. But you must make even greater progress in this! 2 You know what commandments we gave you from the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is God's will - your sanctification: You should keep away from fornication, 4 every one should know to win his own wife in holiness and honor, 5 not in the sensual passion as the heathen they know not God. 6 And no need to do his brother wrong or deceive him in these things. Lord punishes all such, we have previously said and put you in anger. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but to a holy life. 8 Therefore, whoever rejects this rejects not man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
We read that writing provides a clear testimony of the priest in the Old Covenant how he should live, who stood in the same responsibility before God and their fellow man as the preacher and supervising the man standing in the new covenant. 3. Genesis 9:14 p.m.: "A widow or a divorced or a dishonored woman or a prostitute - something he must not marry. Only a virgin of his people shall he take to wife. "
We read that God gives the same testimony and require the same of the priest during the upcoming 1000 årsriket to serve the people of Jerusalem in Israel, where the law shall go forth from it. Ezekiel 44:22: "A widow or a woman that her husband has divorced from, they will not take a wife, but only virgins of Israel. But they can take a widow who is the widow of a priest. "
When Scripture is so clear when it comes to the priest of the old covenant and the 1000-årsriket, it is no less clear when it comes to the church-time household, we who live in the loveliest and greatest privilege of all, "one woman man."
As the Scripture says that it is demonic and forførisk refusing a minister and overseer to marry (1 Tim. 4:1), it is to come under the same negative conditions to accept and allowed the preachers to marry again while the spouse lives. It is only by death that it may be appropriate for an overseer to marry again, and then with one who is not divorced!
Among other Derek Prince was a great Bible teacher married a divorcee, those were not God's will. Hopefully he was saved, though he did accept God's will.
But the person who is re-married might have some loose face as Evangelist, but never stand in a Pastoral and Pastoral role.
As far as I know about it, practicing the great Pentecostal direction in America Assembly of God this? If this is true, they are a model for all others. Encourages others to also get more information there and other places are taken up. I do not consider that I have the ultimate and complete truth, but God has shown me in his word.

Nr. 250: I regret nothing! Not to mention what I have preached and held forth as the biblical ideal and pattern!
Nr. 250:
I regret nothing! Not to mention what I have preached and held forth as the biblical ideal and pattern!
We are in a spiritual battle in which leprosy is a picture of sin. Jesus' main weapons against the enemy, his purity, the church today are losing the battle when sin is allowed in the church. Gjengiftede preachers are like lepers before God and the church go down to the level Satan desires and wants so that he wins the victory and we as the church!
I look at Christianity in Norway as a major developing countries. Brother Aage Samuelsen had absolutely right when he said that Norway was a spiritually developing countries. Fine, but we have freedom here in Norway to spread the message, which I am very happy and thank God for. That's why I can write freely here and I thank God for.
Jan Aage Torp feel character killed by me
Jan Aage Torp feel character killed by me, but he put on his cap altogether. As I read scripture and what scripture holds that the norm is speaking scripture to be a woman's man, not two as Torp is. This is my conviction, and I'm not ashamed to hold up. It's very narrow-minded it Torp, Hanevold and peers are doing. They expect tolerance and respect, but never give it only if one agrees with them. Only the witnesses against their Christianity that it is hypocritical, unbiblical and not true!
No gjengiftede preachers to be Pastors
When unable to conformed his own house and marriage as the writing falls a colossal judgment of than.
1. Tim. 5. 8 But if any provide not for his own, and most of his household, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.
Torp write so boldly and unabashedly that he will not lose sleep even if he does not follow God's word and "leper". Yes, audacity knows no boundaries and in the humanistic and socialist Norway, it is very difficult to keep the biblical standard as scripture says we should not even eat with such people as Torp, Hanvold etc.
1. Kor. 5. 9 I wrote unto you in my letter that I should not have sexual relations with adulterers - 10 I did not mean in general adulterer in this world or the covetousness and robbers, or idolaters, or had in the exit of the world, 11 but what I wrote to you, was that I should not have sexual relations with anyone called a brother and an adulterer or an idolater, or havesyk or a railer or a drunkard, or robber, so I do not even eat with him.
Of course "normal" people who are re-married and want to be preachers realize we do not exist. But that would be a brother but that does not comply with the Word of God we will not even share live or communion with the community, we do so we will share in his sin and is involved.
Emanuel Minos is a catalyst for the dark
I have written so much about this several other places, but I'm not embarrassed or ashamed that I have dared and got it to take up the mega cheats Emanuel Minos is opening up for all, including those gjengiftede preachers mentioned. This is because he has so much confidence and influence among the broad strata of the Christian people!
Espen Ottesen a true Israelite
It is wonderful with the Lutherans and Catholics when it comes to Christian ethics and morality, where they lie in the whole, far, far above the Free Church. Yes, many, many notches!
Not least, they dare to hold that God actually requires and demands something of us. All thanks to them for that! That Jan Aage Torp and others do not like them, what do I care jot about, he is a spiritual egotist who only thinks of himself and his own belly as Hanvold and so many other free church gjengiftede preachers do. Let him call the Apostle, and he is sure, but not a true weather you safe.
This is from my commentaries Philip Wiper letter 3 18 I've said it often and have to say it again with tears that there are many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
It's a pain to see that other believers fall short, like time after time. We are a body, when a member suffers and feels pain spread it over all others. Psalm 119 158 I look with loathing at the faithless, do not keep your word. Unfortunately there are still "Judas" who walks among the believers, who do not have the wedding garment on. But we must distinguish between misleading and being misled. And between cheaters and those which fail to.
19 They end up in hell, they have the stomach to the god and takes pride in what is a shame for them, and they are only concerned with earthly things.
It shows, unfortunately, time and again that there are too many people take so lightly on everything. God is rich enough for all but one have to open up and let him in.. When pleasure and deeds of the flesh can take root even in the believer's heart and mind. This can and will perish if you do not repent again (Ezekiel 33). (End of quote).
Torp get enough under the wide strata of Christians
Torp get enough under the wide strata of the Christian people, not least among the Free Church. I really think that the battle is lost to the Christian people of Norway, the dropout rate has gone too far, I am afraid of ugly. What we can hope and pray and work for a revival of God, but then no gjengiftede ministers who are divorced and re-married as believers stand on the platform, they are "lepers" and will take their illness with them. That's why I wrote that scripture speaks of Torp and peers are lepers when leprosy in the font is a symbol of sin, and sin is transmitted just like when one takes a bit of infected meat and spread there beyond, so is sin and leprosy is contagious and brings death wherever it comes.
Torp sleep too hard to understand the gravity
From my commentaries Ephesians 5 13 But everything comes to light when it is revealed by the light,
Everything, yes everything will come to light. We believe that something is not recorded, but it does in the heavenly computer. How do I know not. But when it all comes out in the light of God will be revealed!
14 and everything that comes to light, is light. Therefore, states: Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.
Spiritual sleep and spiritual death is close to one another. It is very much like to draw down as a believer and one is hard pressed. It is only by being filled with God that will prevail.
15 Be careful, therefore careful how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise,
We have a very easy to make us friends with darkness. There is hardly any family in this country that is not affected by the divorce curse and many other negative things. But it is the word of God which is our guideline about the let down, even in our immediate circle of friends and family.
16 so you buy the right time, because the days are evil.
Sermon on the Mount parts of our Lord as the offense of how we can get hold of the eternal values.
He conveys how we as Christians can prioritize our time just learning to put our trust in God and not be so concerned with what we can provide to get out of our lives to their own advantage, through all our efforts and hustle.
I do not mean by this that we should stop working and get some strange dreamers. No, we will be working and taking care of our belongings. But to guard our hearts for a setting of "much more".
Matt.6.19
"Gather ye not treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and thieves break in and steal."
verse 20
"But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and thieves do not break in and steal."
verse 21
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be."
verse 24
"No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You can not serve both God and mammon."
Mammon is an Aramaic word for money and wealth. So when Jesus says you can not serve mammon, so it does not mean you can not make money, or own wealth, but that we should guard us, no money and wealth own our hearts.
In verse 25 He says: "Therefore I tell you: Do not worry about your life, what ye shall drink, nor for the body, what ye shall clothe you with. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"
26. "Look at the birds of the air: Do not sow, nor reap they, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more than they?"
In verse 33 comes as the solution to how to prioritize and still get what we need to make a living, "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and ye shall receive all this as well!"
Consider the promises we have. But we forget so quickly, and are so easily consumed by that which is here on earth, and often follow this world's values and standards and ways of doing things. And in the midst of all that we forget the real and eternal values.
But then it's important that we remember the words of Jesus: "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and you will get everything else as well!"
May the Lord help us in this busy time to buy the right time, because the days are evil as the Bible says. But God is good and God is faithful. If we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. He will not abandon a single one of us!
17 Do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord.
There is an admonition to that is an elaboration of the previous one. "Watch therefore carefully at how you live, not as unwise men but as wise, as you spend your precious time well, because the days are evil. Do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord. "
Again, it is encouraging that the Scripture is estimated that children of light may be wise, even if there are good opportunities for the opposite. Not only that: The Apostle encourages us to use our common sense. "Understanding what the will of the Lord." And here we are in the middle of a neglected topic for many people. They believe, or seem to expect the mind should be on the shelf, at least when it comes to the things of God's kingdom.
Not so in the Bible! "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all thy mind" (Matthew 22.37). Certainly we should not rely on our sense that it says in Proverbs (3.5). But there's not that we should not use it. The apostle has taught us that we should take "every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10.5).
How can we use our common sense? To grow in knowledge, yes, but knowledge transformed into practice, to walk to the joy of the Lord. And no one will "understand what the will of the Lord", you leave out the amazing (I do not like this to the commonly used word, but can not find anything better) tool God has given us the Bible: "All Scripture is breathed by God and useful for teaching, reproof, guidance and education in righteousness, so that man of God may be fully equipped for every good work "(2 Tim 3.16 to 17). (End of quote).
It appears more and more to me that Torp sleep and the sleep he and like-minded sleeping is dangerous because it brings both himself and like-minded people to destruction!
Leprosy of sin
Leprosy is a picture of sin when leprosy also infected and destroy, just as sin does.
"Unclean!" A heart-rending cry rang through the air - a cry that only vaguely portrays a tragic human fate. Few can understand the profound pain - yes, gnawing frustration and hopelessness - that lies behind these four letters: flight. Each of the letters describes a concept of the suffering that came with the dreaded disease leprosy - a very common disease in the Middle East in Biblical times.
O outcast - When diagnosed with "leprosy" was set, the victim was excluded from all contact with family and friends. The priest had declared him unclean, and this he had to announce.
R-despised - When the cry "unclean" could be heard, people drew back with horror and disgust. The disease was highly contagious - no one would come near a leper. It was a gruesome sight - the disease literally ate the body and limb for limb was consumed. The air around the poor victims seemed to be plagued.
E-lonely - MPD reality has hit a new victim: No more a loving embrace, not a kiss or even touch. It does not matter if it is a promising young genius, a new mother or a father and dependents who are affected. King or pauper - the verdict is the same, inflexible and hard: Loneliness is from now on their life partner.
Ruthless - It was a little hopeful future for the one who was afflicted with leprosy. The disease was seen as God's wrath and judgment - as punishment for sin and injustice. To show compassion to someone who was affected by the judgment of God, was mildly seen as weakness. As if that was not enough to lose the compassionate support and care, I felt it affected also abandoned and rejected by God. Anxiety and guilt tormented soul. Relentlessly, they were given over to decay and destruction.
In Matthew's gospel, we encounter one of these outcasts. He is equally hated, lonely and bereft of human compassion and grace like other lepers, but a glimmer of hope has penetrated into his troubled soul. He has got wind of a new teacher. This teacher is apparently not as the other religious leaders. He cares for even the outcasts. Rumour has it that he not only preaches a message filled with hope and virtue, but he spirits and lives what he teaches. He is love in action. He bends down to help those who are bottom of the ranking list. He cares for the whole person - physical as well as the spiritual. A strong desire forms in his mind: Oh, if only I could meet this man! But how?
The leper is ordered to stay away from the cities and the beaten track, where he can get in touch with people. He is located in the forests and plains. One day he hears, however, sounds, talking and laughing, as if it is a great human mass moving down from the mountain. He sees the procession in the distance. A hope lit in him: What if it's the new teacher! He included as the crowd comes closer, hoping his growing and confirmed - this is his chance of a lifetime!
The man knows the priest's strict ban on dealings with other people. He knows he has to disclose his condition plagued with the cry, "Unclean!" He knows the "clean" will shudder when they hear the cry, and shrink from this damned soul with horror. However, all precautions and restrictions that are vanished. Embarrassment and shame is forgotten - he has a goal in mind: Jesus.
People scream and shrinks as they are was the leper's presence. But he is calm. He knows the pain, despair - and the growing hope in this outcast figure. He knows that he is hungry for a loving touch. And as faith displaces man's desperation in the pleading cry: "Lord, if You wish, You make me clean." - Jesus reaches out and touches him. "I will," said Jesus with sonorous voice, "Be clean!" Love - so heavenly, compassionate and pure - flows through the man. Soul and body are cleansed.
Jesus asks the man to show himself to the priests, to offer the sacrifice he himself had given orders to centuries past. Jesus had not yet died as the true sacrificial lamb, and the old covenant sacrificial laws still applied. While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, God gave them detailed instructions on various ceremonial sacrifice. Often we read through these sections with boredom. To us it seems like a bloody nightmare - the symbolism gets lost in all the bloodshed. It seems grotesque and absurd.
It was awful - it was bloody ... And it was the intention that they should see it that way. Jesus wanted them to understand the sacrifices ugliness of sin. For sin requires life - "without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." (Hebrews 9:22). We can praise God for Jesus' blood that is shed "once and for all", so we do not "need to carry out daily sacrifices" (Hebrews 7:27). He came "not with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, He went into the holy place, once and for all, having obtained eternal redemption" (Hebrews 9: 12) We can praise God that there has been "a repeal of the former commandment" - a sin offering, peace offerings, blood and pain - and that "a better hope is inserted, and by this we can get close to God" (Hebrews 7: 18-19). We can praise the Lord that we can come directly to Jesus - that we can "reach the throne of grace with boldness, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4: 16) We can thank the Father that "Jesus Christ, His Son cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:7).
Leprosy - such a striking image on the ugliness of sin, as we all are affected. "All have sinned, and have lost the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) We all need to be cleaned and carry out a purification sacrifice. Praise the Lord - for the better hope which is entered through the new covenant, we do not shed blood. Yet the Old Testament prototype invaluable lessons for us. Let's get through the bloody surface, and discover the beauty of cleansing the victim of leprosy.
Take me to the 3rd Genesis, the 14th chapter. Here we get a glimpse of cleansing our friend, the leper, went through:
He took with him "to live, clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop" to the sanctuary. One bird was killed over "an earthen vessel with living water." The living bird, and the additional items were dipped in the blood, which was then sprinkled on the man seven times. Then the bird let loose in the wild. This was the first part of the ritual.
To complete the purification he should carry out a guilt offering. The minister should fail the blood of sacrificial animals "on the right earlobe," "the right thumb" and "the right big toe." Then the priest lubricating oil on the same body parts.
And what's so beautiful about it?, You might ask. Let's crack the codes symbolism.
The two birds beautifully depicts what Jesus went through for our sake: Death and life are inextricably linked. We see the association through Jesus' blood that brings forgiveness, and His resurrection and the life of our Savior and Redeemer.
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment was in Him that we might have peace, and by His stripes we are healed. "Isaiah 53:5
"Therefore He is also the power to complete the salvation of those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7: 25
Death and life - as inextricably linked. Without Jesus' death, there was no hope of eternal life and glory. Even if it meant pain, joy and immortality were born out of this pain:
"But Jesus answered them by saying:" The hour has come when the Son of Man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say to you: If the grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it just left alone. But if it dies, it produces much fruit ... And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all tim Me. "Gospel of John 12:23, 24, 32
As Jesus hung dying between heaven and earth, his mission seemed to die out with him - from a human point of view. But from a heavenly perspective, was the seed about to shoot up - the seed from the dead seed that would provide a rich harvest of human souls.
The bird was killed over an earthen vessel with living water. In the Bible, humans are portrayed as earthen vessels in the Master's hand:
"Behold, as the camp is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand," said Jesus (Jeremiah 18: 6).
So who is the living water that will drain in clay pots?
"Lord, thou hope of Israel ... the fountain of living water." Jeremiah 17:3
"Jesus said ... "But whoever drinks of the water that I give him will never thirst. But the water that I give him will become in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. "Gospel of John 4:14
Jesus wants to be a living reality in our lives - the living water that fills the empty clay pots. Those who are willing to be emptied of self, and let Jesus tax beam out from their lives, taking advantage of the atonement of Jesus blood that flowed for them at Calvary. His death and life becomes a part of their experience:
"But we have this treasure (Jesus' glory) in earthen vessels, that the tremendous power to be of God and not of us ... And always, we bear the Lord Jesus died with us in body, for the life of Jesus may be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always handed over to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. "2 Corinthians 4:7-11
Cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop were also elements of purification.
After his serious violations, as David himself as unclean - as terminally ill as a leper - and he longed for Jesus' cleansing touch. Note that he draws from the symbolism of cleansing ceremony in his famous prayer in Psalm 51:
"Cleanse me from sin with hyssop, and I am clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. "Psalm 51: 9
Through the prophet Isaiah, Jesus comes with a call to his people on a similar purification:
"Wash yourselves, purify yourselves! Get your evil deeds out of my eyes. Cease to do evil! Learn to do good! ... Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. If they are red as scarlet, they shall be as wool. "Isaiah 1:16-18
Jesus paints a beautiful picture of those who are willing to accept this purification:
"Blessed is the man that walk not after the wicked advice, and not in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and meditate on his law day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, which has leaves that does not wither. And everything he does will succeed. "Psalm 1:1-3
The first sequence of cleansing ceremony ended with the bird that was dipped in blood, was released. Jesus' atoning-blood is the only thing that will set us free from sin's prison:
"If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples. And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free ... He who sins is a slave to sin ... if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. "John 8: 31-36
The second part of the cleansing ritual purification expands on Jesus wants to do in our lives - it's a complete and perfect purification. The bird's blood was sprinkled seven times on the purified lepers. Seven is the number of perfection - there is no partial purification. Blame the victim as follows confirms this: The blood is sprinkled from head to toe.
"Jesus Christ, His Son cleanses us from all sin ... If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John. 1:7, 9
But it does not end here - when we are cleansed and freed from sin, Jesus fills us with a force that has the power to keep us clean. The oil is a picture of the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:1-6). As with blood, was also the oil smeared from head to toe. Jesus wants to fill us completely with His Spirit. Grace not only has the power to purify, but also to keep us clean:
"For God's saving grace to all people is evident and this grace teaches us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age, while we await the blessed hope ..." Titus 2: 11 -13
"So have you taken it as belonging to their former conduct, the old man, what is being corrupted by the seductive desires to renew their minds by the Spirit, and you have put on the new man, which after God is created by righteousness and holiness ... do not do God's Holy Spirit, whom you were sealed to the day of redemption. "Ephesians 4: 22-30 (See also Gal. 5:22-25, Rom. 8:1-4)
Jesus is willing to touch us as He touched the leper man. He longs to give us the full purification is described through the cleansing ritual. Beautiful, hidden treasures - the deep lessons - is hidden in these exemplary ceremonies, rituals and sacrifices. Let's look past the bloody surface, and assimilate the lessons - the perfect cleansing Jesus offers. Let us not only to receive purification, but let us live in it. Let us accept the Holy Spirit to a life of victory! If a person repents, it is to get forgiveness, but not before. Scripture teaches clearly that it is re-married living in adultery and must either live single or be reconciled to his first wife. The fact that a preacher does not care about this and other endorsement of such preachers testify that the dropout rate is so prevalent in the church that we have Laodicea church!
Luke 16 18 Whoever separates himself from his wife and marries another woman, he commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband committeth adultery.
1. Kor. 7. 10 The married I command, yet not I but the Lord, that a wife should not separate herself from her husband, 11 but she is separated from him, then she vedbli to be unmarried or be reconciled herself with her husband - and that a man does not to separate himself from his wife.
A little sin destroys the body Kristis
That does entertain Emanuel Minos do not see the danger here to open up too bad so did the Apostle Paul.
This is from my commentaries from Galatians 5 9 A little leaven leavens the whole batch!
That's when it gets shaken at this fully, in one way or the other context, that it happens that Paul describes here.
It is sometimes an infested limb must be cut off to save the rest of the body. One must be "hard to himself" here, m.a.o. Scripture speaks of taking captive every thought in obedience to Christ, and tear down imaginations and every high that rise up against the knowledge of God.
And then the apostle writes here about this that had come into the Galatian:
"This persuasion did not come from Him who called you." V 8 It is not like what you have learned to know God's salvation!
I have learned to know God, that was like fire to me. And you also, if you live with God today. You know him by law. Could you live with him? He was to life? No, you were depressed, anxious and restless. He was so wrong. One was somehow not on speaking terms with him. He met you only with questions:
"Have you prayed today? Have you read? Have you witnessed to someone? Are you living as a Christian? Do you love me, really? Is your heart right with God? "Etc. on your side wanted to be a Christian, as far as you understood, but he was not happy with it. You should practice! Not only would! You should be obedient!
He was to life? Was it that you ever looked yourself in the Lord? Sure, you could well feel a certain pleasure and satisfaction, the times you thought it had succeeded to some extent, but looking forward to you some time in the Lord? It is the believer's strength! Neh. 8.10. No, you went where so heavy and groaning under all the requirements that were put into you. And the same requirements you lived in, put on your medvandrere.
No, he was certainly not up to life, but he was to death! And wherever you meet this God, who presents to you an unfulfilled law, he takes pleasure from you, giving you death and grief and despair instead! You are under the law! Under the curse! And you have seen that even in freedom, what do you want with this God? What do you expect? Is it not rather so that every time you meet him, as you fly over to the God who has revealed Himself in the Gospel? Some seek God as He reveals Himself in the law and the state of unrest and inner conviction of his sin as the cause. For this is for them to confirm that they live with the Lord, so that they "mourn" their sins. What they do not understand is that they only have the wrath of God to do! The only peace the time they are away from God. They live with God's wrath as it is revealed under the law, this is also the faithful know well, and that causes them to fly into the gospel.
The truth is the fact it, that this act God, who also is the true God, is unable to save you.
10 But the Lord gives me the confidence in you that you will think differently than I do. Anyone who confuses you, will get his judgment, whosoever he be.
That they had received and had the effect of the second example, we read on in chapter two that there was "strong" as brothers also had led the Apostle Peter and shaped applying the son Barnabas. When even such nice brothers could be misled, so can we. 1. Kor. 10. 12 Therefore the person who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. (End of quote)
The leaven is a picture of sin that the leprosy is, destroy, permeates and brings death on his way, this we are helping to open up by permitted sin in the church. Israel tried that several times, we read about Achan brought defeat to the church. All gjengiftede preachers and all others living in sin as a believer is like Achan the church of God, therefore it is also occult and demonic to allow sin in the church.
The parable of the leaven of the biblical prophecies of the major John F. Walvoord
(Matthew 13.33; Luke 13.20-21)
Christ also used leaven as an illustration when he spoke about this era in his parables: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman hid in three measures of meal, everything was imbued" (Matt. 13.33). It was common practice in the Middle East that took some of the dough that was previously fermented and had the new dough, so that fermentation was spreading. Here, Christ used this as an illustration of the heavenly kingdom of nature. Most interpreters, influenced by postmillianismen, a view that dominated so strongly in the latter part of the nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth century, believes that the leaven of the gospel is being spread in the world. But the idea that the leaven is the Gospel, is a captivating misinterpretation, as the Scripture always in connection with the leaven otherwise refers to something that is contrary to holiness. It represents evil. In the Old Testament spoke the unleavened bread of God's holiness, and one should beware of having leaven in it. But when it comes to the professing church (Luke 13.21), the yeast mixed in, as the professing church contains an element of evil. Just as leaven the dough to swell and thus make it bigger than it really is, without adding value, it is a false teacher. It was the Pharisees setting, Sadducees and Herodians unbelieving secularism. All this served to inflate the religion, while in reality it was all about evil powers (Matt. 16.6 to 12; Mark 8.14 to 21). Also in the letters signifying evil leaven (1 Cor 5.6 to 8, Gal 5.7 to 10). The fact that there is no harm in both the true church and in the professing church, is clearly expressed in Scripture and provides the basis for many admonitions and reprimands. It is therefore far better to interpret the leaven that this evil element in the professing church. The evil has permeated the church.
But it is strange to some who live in sin, that the said preachers. They always have to attack someone else or they are gay, or some like me who reveal their sin. Why not get the beam out of his own eye, so that one can be spiritually and mentally normal, and like Jesus?!

I regret nothing! Not to mention what I have preached and held forth as the biblical ideal and pattern!
We are in a spiritual battle in which leprosy is a picture of sin. Jesus' main weapons against the enemy, his purity, the church today are losing the battle when sin is allowed in the church. Gjengiftede preachers are like lepers before God and the church go down to the level Satan desires and wants so that he wins the victory and we as the church!
I look at Christianity in Norway as a major developing countries. Brother Aage Samuelsen had absolutely right when he said that Norway was a spiritually developing countries. Fine, but we have freedom here in Norway to spread the message, which I am very happy and thank God for. That's why I can write freely here and I thank God for.
Jan Aage Torp feel character killed by me
Jan Aage Torp feel character killed by me, but he put on his cap altogether. As I read scripture and what scripture holds that the norm is speaking scripture to be a woman's man, not two as Torp is. This is my conviction, and I'm not ashamed to hold up. It's very narrow-minded it Torp, Hanevold and peers are doing. They expect tolerance and respect, but never give it only if one agrees with them. Only the witnesses against their Christianity that it is hypocritical, unbiblical and not true!
No gjengiftede preachers to be Pastors
When unable to conformed his own house and marriage as the writing falls a colossal judgment of than.
1. Tim. 5. 8 But if any provide not for his own, and most of his household, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.
Torp write so boldly and unabashedly that he will not lose sleep even if he does not follow God's word and "leper". Yes, audacity knows no boundaries and in the humanistic and socialist Norway, it is very difficult to keep the biblical standard as scripture says we should not even eat with such people as Torp, Hanvold etc.
1. Kor. 5. 9 I wrote unto you in my letter that I should not have sexual relations with adulterers - 10 I did not mean in general adulterer in this world or the covetousness and robbers, or idolaters, or had in the exit of the world, 11 but what I wrote to you, was that I should not have sexual relations with anyone called a brother and an adulterer or an idolater, or havesyk or a railer or a drunkard, or robber, so I do not even eat with him.
Of course "normal" people who are re-married and want to be preachers realize we do not exist. But that would be a brother but that does not comply with the Word of God we will not even share live or communion with the community, we do so we will share in his sin and is involved.
Emanuel Minos is a catalyst for the dark
I have written so much about this several other places, but I'm not embarrassed or ashamed that I have dared and got it to take up the mega cheats Emanuel Minos is opening up for all, including those gjengiftede preachers mentioned. This is because he has so much confidence and influence among the broad strata of the Christian people!
Espen Ottesen a true Israelite
It is wonderful with the Lutherans and Catholics when it comes to Christian ethics and morality, where they lie in the whole, far, far above the Free Church. Yes, many, many notches!
Not least, they dare to hold that God actually requires and demands something of us. All thanks to them for that! That Jan Aage Torp and others do not like them, what do I care jot about, he is a spiritual egotist who only thinks of himself and his own belly as Hanvold and so many other free church gjengiftede preachers do. Let him call the Apostle, and he is sure, but not a true weather you safe.
This is from my commentaries Philip Wiper letter 3 18 I've said it often and have to say it again with tears that there are many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
It's a pain to see that other believers fall short, like time after time. We are a body, when a member suffers and feels pain spread it over all others. Psalm 119 158 I look with loathing at the faithless, do not keep your word. Unfortunately there are still "Judas" who walks among the believers, who do not have the wedding garment on. But we must distinguish between misleading and being misled. And between cheaters and those which fail to.
19 They end up in hell, they have the stomach to the god and takes pride in what is a shame for them, and they are only concerned with earthly things.
It shows, unfortunately, time and again that there are too many people take so lightly on everything. God is rich enough for all but one have to open up and let him in.. When pleasure and deeds of the flesh can take root even in the believer's heart and mind. This can and will perish if you do not repent again (Ezekiel 33). (End of quote).
Torp get enough under the wide strata of Christians
Torp get enough under the wide strata of the Christian people, not least among the Free Church. I really think that the battle is lost to the Christian people of Norway, the dropout rate has gone too far, I am afraid of ugly. What we can hope and pray and work for a revival of God, but then no gjengiftede ministers who are divorced and re-married as believers stand on the platform, they are "lepers" and will take their illness with them. That's why I wrote that scripture speaks of Torp and peers are lepers when leprosy in the font is a symbol of sin, and sin is transmitted just like when one takes a bit of infected meat and spread there beyond, so is sin and leprosy is contagious and brings death wherever it comes.
Torp sleep too hard to understand the gravity
From my commentaries Ephesians 5 13 But everything comes to light when it is revealed by the light,
Everything, yes everything will come to light. We believe that something is not recorded, but it does in the heavenly computer. How do I know not. But when it all comes out in the light of God will be revealed!
14 and everything that comes to light, is light. Therefore, states: Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.
Spiritual sleep and spiritual death is close to one another. It is very much like to draw down as a believer and one is hard pressed. It is only by being filled with God that will prevail.
15 Be careful, therefore careful how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise,
We have a very easy to make us friends with darkness. There is hardly any family in this country that is not affected by the divorce curse and many other negative things. But it is the word of God which is our guideline about the let down, even in our immediate circle of friends and family.
16 so you buy the right time, because the days are evil.
Sermon on the Mount parts of our Lord as the offense of how we can get hold of the eternal values.
He conveys how we as Christians can prioritize our time just learning to put our trust in God and not be so concerned with what we can provide to get out of our lives to their own advantage, through all our efforts and hustle.
I do not mean by this that we should stop working and get some strange dreamers. No, we will be working and taking care of our belongings. But to guard our hearts for a setting of "much more".
Matt.6.19
"Gather ye not treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and thieves break in and steal."
verse 20
"But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and thieves do not break in and steal."
verse 21
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be."
verse 24
"No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You can not serve both God and mammon."
Mammon is an Aramaic word for money and wealth. So when Jesus says you can not serve mammon, so it does not mean you can not make money, or own wealth, but that we should guard us, no money and wealth own our hearts.
In verse 25 He says: "Therefore I tell you: Do not worry about your life, what ye shall drink, nor for the body, what ye shall clothe you with. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"
26. "Look at the birds of the air: Do not sow, nor reap they, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more than they?"
In verse 33 comes as the solution to how to prioritize and still get what we need to make a living, "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and ye shall receive all this as well!"
Consider the promises we have. But we forget so quickly, and are so easily consumed by that which is here on earth, and often follow this world's values and standards and ways of doing things. And in the midst of all that we forget the real and eternal values.
But then it's important that we remember the words of Jesus: "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and you will get everything else as well!"
May the Lord help us in this busy time to buy the right time, because the days are evil as the Bible says. But God is good and God is faithful. If we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. He will not abandon a single one of us!
17 Do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord.
There is an admonition to that is an elaboration of the previous one. "Watch therefore carefully at how you live, not as unwise men but as wise, as you spend your precious time well, because the days are evil. Do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord. "
Again, it is encouraging that the Scripture is estimated that children of light may be wise, even if there are good opportunities for the opposite. Not only that: The Apostle encourages us to use our common sense. "Understanding what the will of the Lord." And here we are in the middle of a neglected topic for many people. They believe, or seem to expect the mind should be on the shelf, at least when it comes to the things of God's kingdom.
Not so in the Bible! "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all thy mind" (Matthew 22.37). Certainly we should not rely on our sense that it says in Proverbs (3.5). But there's not that we should not use it. The apostle has taught us that we should take "every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10.5).
How can we use our common sense? To grow in knowledge, yes, but knowledge transformed into practice, to walk to the joy of the Lord. And no one will "understand what the will of the Lord", you leave out the amazing (I do not like this to the commonly used word, but can not find anything better) tool God has given us the Bible: "All Scripture is breathed by God and useful for teaching, reproof, guidance and education in righteousness, so that man of God may be fully equipped for every good work "(2 Tim 3.16 to 17). (End of quote).
It appears more and more to me that Torp sleep and the sleep he and like-minded sleeping is dangerous because it brings both himself and like-minded people to destruction!
Leprosy of sin
Leprosy is a picture of sin when leprosy also infected and destroy, just as sin does.
"Unclean!" A heart-rending cry rang through the air - a cry that only vaguely portrays a tragic human fate. Few can understand the profound pain - yes, gnawing frustration and hopelessness - that lies behind these four letters: flight. Each of the letters describes a concept of the suffering that came with the dreaded disease leprosy - a very common disease in the Middle East in Biblical times.
O outcast - When diagnosed with "leprosy" was set, the victim was excluded from all contact with family and friends. The priest had declared him unclean, and this he had to announce.
R-despised - When the cry "unclean" could be heard, people drew back with horror and disgust. The disease was highly contagious - no one would come near a leper. It was a gruesome sight - the disease literally ate the body and limb for limb was consumed. The air around the poor victims seemed to be plagued.
E-lonely - MPD reality has hit a new victim: No more a loving embrace, not a kiss or even touch. It does not matter if it is a promising young genius, a new mother or a father and dependents who are affected. King or pauper - the verdict is the same, inflexible and hard: Loneliness is from now on their life partner.
Ruthless - It was a little hopeful future for the one who was afflicted with leprosy. The disease was seen as God's wrath and judgment - as punishment for sin and injustice. To show compassion to someone who was affected by the judgment of God, was mildly seen as weakness. As if that was not enough to lose the compassionate support and care, I felt it affected also abandoned and rejected by God. Anxiety and guilt tormented soul. Relentlessly, they were given over to decay and destruction.
In Matthew's gospel, we encounter one of these outcasts. He is equally hated, lonely and bereft of human compassion and grace like other lepers, but a glimmer of hope has penetrated into his troubled soul. He has got wind of a new teacher. This teacher is apparently not as the other religious leaders. He cares for even the outcasts. Rumour has it that he not only preaches a message filled with hope and virtue, but he spirits and lives what he teaches. He is love in action. He bends down to help those who are bottom of the ranking list. He cares for the whole person - physical as well as the spiritual. A strong desire forms in his mind: Oh, if only I could meet this man! But how?
The leper is ordered to stay away from the cities and the beaten track, where he can get in touch with people. He is located in the forests and plains. One day he hears, however, sounds, talking and laughing, as if it is a great human mass moving down from the mountain. He sees the procession in the distance. A hope lit in him: What if it's the new teacher! He included as the crowd comes closer, hoping his growing and confirmed - this is his chance of a lifetime!
The man knows the priest's strict ban on dealings with other people. He knows he has to disclose his condition plagued with the cry, "Unclean!" He knows the "clean" will shudder when they hear the cry, and shrink from this damned soul with horror. However, all precautions and restrictions that are vanished. Embarrassment and shame is forgotten - he has a goal in mind: Jesus.
People scream and shrinks as they are was the leper's presence. But he is calm. He knows the pain, despair - and the growing hope in this outcast figure. He knows that he is hungry for a loving touch. And as faith displaces man's desperation in the pleading cry: "Lord, if You wish, You make me clean." - Jesus reaches out and touches him. "I will," said Jesus with sonorous voice, "Be clean!" Love - so heavenly, compassionate and pure - flows through the man. Soul and body are cleansed.
Jesus asks the man to show himself to the priests, to offer the sacrifice he himself had given orders to centuries past. Jesus had not yet died as the true sacrificial lamb, and the old covenant sacrificial laws still applied. While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, God gave them detailed instructions on various ceremonial sacrifice. Often we read through these sections with boredom. To us it seems like a bloody nightmare - the symbolism gets lost in all the bloodshed. It seems grotesque and absurd.
It was awful - it was bloody ... And it was the intention that they should see it that way. Jesus wanted them to understand the sacrifices ugliness of sin. For sin requires life - "without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." (Hebrews 9:22). We can praise God for Jesus' blood that is shed "once and for all", so we do not "need to carry out daily sacrifices" (Hebrews 7:27). He came "not with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, He went into the holy place, once and for all, having obtained eternal redemption" (Hebrews 9: 12) We can praise God that there has been "a repeal of the former commandment" - a sin offering, peace offerings, blood and pain - and that "a better hope is inserted, and by this we can get close to God" (Hebrews 7: 18-19). We can praise the Lord that we can come directly to Jesus - that we can "reach the throne of grace with boldness, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4: 16) We can thank the Father that "Jesus Christ, His Son cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:7).
Leprosy - such a striking image on the ugliness of sin, as we all are affected. "All have sinned, and have lost the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) We all need to be cleaned and carry out a purification sacrifice. Praise the Lord - for the better hope which is entered through the new covenant, we do not shed blood. Yet the Old Testament prototype invaluable lessons for us. Let's get through the bloody surface, and discover the beauty of cleansing the victim of leprosy.
Take me to the 3rd Genesis, the 14th chapter. Here we get a glimpse of cleansing our friend, the leper, went through:
He took with him "to live, clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop" to the sanctuary. One bird was killed over "an earthen vessel with living water." The living bird, and the additional items were dipped in the blood, which was then sprinkled on the man seven times. Then the bird let loose in the wild. This was the first part of the ritual.
To complete the purification he should carry out a guilt offering. The minister should fail the blood of sacrificial animals "on the right earlobe," "the right thumb" and "the right big toe." Then the priest lubricating oil on the same body parts.
And what's so beautiful about it?, You might ask. Let's crack the codes symbolism.
The two birds beautifully depicts what Jesus went through for our sake: Death and life are inextricably linked. We see the association through Jesus' blood that brings forgiveness, and His resurrection and the life of our Savior and Redeemer.
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment was in Him that we might have peace, and by His stripes we are healed. "Isaiah 53:5
"Therefore He is also the power to complete the salvation of those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7: 25
Death and life - as inextricably linked. Without Jesus' death, there was no hope of eternal life and glory. Even if it meant pain, joy and immortality were born out of this pain:
"But Jesus answered them by saying:" The hour has come when the Son of Man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say to you: If the grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it just left alone. But if it dies, it produces much fruit ... And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all tim Me. "Gospel of John 12:23, 24, 32
As Jesus hung dying between heaven and earth, his mission seemed to die out with him - from a human point of view. But from a heavenly perspective, was the seed about to shoot up - the seed from the dead seed that would provide a rich harvest of human souls.
The bird was killed over an earthen vessel with living water. In the Bible, humans are portrayed as earthen vessels in the Master's hand:
"Behold, as the camp is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand," said Jesus (Jeremiah 18: 6).
So who is the living water that will drain in clay pots?
"Lord, thou hope of Israel ... the fountain of living water." Jeremiah 17:3
"Jesus said ... "But whoever drinks of the water that I give him will never thirst. But the water that I give him will become in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. "Gospel of John 4:14
Jesus wants to be a living reality in our lives - the living water that fills the empty clay pots. Those who are willing to be emptied of self, and let Jesus tax beam out from their lives, taking advantage of the atonement of Jesus blood that flowed for them at Calvary. His death and life becomes a part of their experience:
"But we have this treasure (Jesus' glory) in earthen vessels, that the tremendous power to be of God and not of us ... And always, we bear the Lord Jesus died with us in body, for the life of Jesus may be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always handed over to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. "2 Corinthians 4:7-11
Cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop were also elements of purification.
After his serious violations, as David himself as unclean - as terminally ill as a leper - and he longed for Jesus' cleansing touch. Note that he draws from the symbolism of cleansing ceremony in his famous prayer in Psalm 51:
"Cleanse me from sin with hyssop, and I am clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. "Psalm 51: 9
Through the prophet Isaiah, Jesus comes with a call to his people on a similar purification:
"Wash yourselves, purify yourselves! Get your evil deeds out of my eyes. Cease to do evil! Learn to do good! ... Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. If they are red as scarlet, they shall be as wool. "Isaiah 1:16-18
Jesus paints a beautiful picture of those who are willing to accept this purification:
"Blessed is the man that walk not after the wicked advice, and not in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and meditate on his law day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, which has leaves that does not wither. And everything he does will succeed. "Psalm 1:1-3
The first sequence of cleansing ceremony ended with the bird that was dipped in blood, was released. Jesus' atoning-blood is the only thing that will set us free from sin's prison:
"If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples. And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free ... He who sins is a slave to sin ... if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. "John 8: 31-36
The second part of the cleansing ritual purification expands on Jesus wants to do in our lives - it's a complete and perfect purification. The bird's blood was sprinkled seven times on the purified lepers. Seven is the number of perfection - there is no partial purification. Blame the victim as follows confirms this: The blood is sprinkled from head to toe.
"Jesus Christ, His Son cleanses us from all sin ... If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John. 1:7, 9
But it does not end here - when we are cleansed and freed from sin, Jesus fills us with a force that has the power to keep us clean. The oil is a picture of the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:1-6). As with blood, was also the oil smeared from head to toe. Jesus wants to fill us completely with His Spirit. Grace not only has the power to purify, but also to keep us clean:
"For God's saving grace to all people is evident and this grace teaches us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age, while we await the blessed hope ..." Titus 2: 11 -13
"So have you taken it as belonging to their former conduct, the old man, what is being corrupted by the seductive desires to renew their minds by the Spirit, and you have put on the new man, which after God is created by righteousness and holiness ... do not do God's Holy Spirit, whom you were sealed to the day of redemption. "Ephesians 4: 22-30 (See also Gal. 5:22-25, Rom. 8:1-4)
Jesus is willing to touch us as He touched the leper man. He longs to give us the full purification is described through the cleansing ritual. Beautiful, hidden treasures - the deep lessons - is hidden in these exemplary ceremonies, rituals and sacrifices. Let's look past the bloody surface, and assimilate the lessons - the perfect cleansing Jesus offers. Let us not only to receive purification, but let us live in it. Let us accept the Holy Spirit to a life of victory! If a person repents, it is to get forgiveness, but not before. Scripture teaches clearly that it is re-married living in adultery and must either live single or be reconciled to his first wife. The fact that a preacher does not care about this and other endorsement of such preachers testify that the dropout rate is so prevalent in the church that we have Laodicea church!
Luke 16 18 Whoever separates himself from his wife and marries another woman, he commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband committeth adultery.
1. Kor. 7. 10 The married I command, yet not I but the Lord, that a wife should not separate herself from her husband, 11 but she is separated from him, then she vedbli to be unmarried or be reconciled herself with her husband - and that a man does not to separate himself from his wife.
A little sin destroys the body Kristis
That does entertain Emanuel Minos do not see the danger here to open up too bad so did the Apostle Paul.
This is from my commentaries from Galatians 5 9 A little leaven leavens the whole batch!
That's when it gets shaken at this fully, in one way or the other context, that it happens that Paul describes here.
It is sometimes an infested limb must be cut off to save the rest of the body. One must be "hard to himself" here, m.a.o. Scripture speaks of taking captive every thought in obedience to Christ, and tear down imaginations and every high that rise up against the knowledge of God.
And then the apostle writes here about this that had come into the Galatian:
"This persuasion did not come from Him who called you." V 8 It is not like what you have learned to know God's salvation!
I have learned to know God, that was like fire to me. And you also, if you live with God today. You know him by law. Could you live with him? He was to life? No, you were depressed, anxious and restless. He was so wrong. One was somehow not on speaking terms with him. He met you only with questions:
"Have you prayed today? Have you read? Have you witnessed to someone? Are you living as a Christian? Do you love me, really? Is your heart right with God? "Etc. on your side wanted to be a Christian, as far as you understood, but he was not happy with it. You should practice! Not only would! You should be obedient!
He was to life? Was it that you ever looked yourself in the Lord? Sure, you could well feel a certain pleasure and satisfaction, the times you thought it had succeeded to some extent, but looking forward to you some time in the Lord? It is the believer's strength! Neh. 8.10. No, you went where so heavy and groaning under all the requirements that were put into you. And the same requirements you lived in, put on your medvandrere.
No, he was certainly not up to life, but he was to death! And wherever you meet this God, who presents to you an unfulfilled law, he takes pleasure from you, giving you death and grief and despair instead! You are under the law! Under the curse! And you have seen that even in freedom, what do you want with this God? What do you expect? Is it not rather so that every time you meet him, as you fly over to the God who has revealed Himself in the Gospel? Some seek God as He reveals Himself in the law and the state of unrest and inner conviction of his sin as the cause. For this is for them to confirm that they live with the Lord, so that they "mourn" their sins. What they do not understand is that they only have the wrath of God to do! The only peace the time they are away from God. They live with God's wrath as it is revealed under the law, this is also the faithful know well, and that causes them to fly into the gospel.
The truth is the fact it, that this act God, who also is the true God, is unable to save you.
10 But the Lord gives me the confidence in you that you will think differently than I do. Anyone who confuses you, will get his judgment, whosoever he be.
That they had received and had the effect of the second example, we read on in chapter two that there was "strong" as brothers also had led the Apostle Peter and shaped applying the son Barnabas. When even such nice brothers could be misled, so can we. 1. Kor. 10. 12 Therefore the person who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. (End of quote)
The leaven is a picture of sin that the leprosy is, destroy, permeates and brings death on his way, this we are helping to open up by permitted sin in the church. Israel tried that several times, we read about Achan brought defeat to the church. All gjengiftede preachers and all others living in sin as a believer is like Achan the church of God, therefore it is also occult and demonic to allow sin in the church.
The parable of the leaven of the biblical prophecies of the major John F. Walvoord
(Matthew 13.33; Luke 13.20-21)
Christ also used leaven as an illustration when he spoke about this era in his parables: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman hid in three measures of meal, everything was imbued" (Matt. 13.33). It was common practice in the Middle East that took some of the dough that was previously fermented and had the new dough, so that fermentation was spreading. Here, Christ used this as an illustration of the heavenly kingdom of nature. Most interpreters, influenced by postmillianismen, a view that dominated so strongly in the latter part of the nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth century, believes that the leaven of the gospel is being spread in the world. But the idea that the leaven is the Gospel, is a captivating misinterpretation, as the Scripture always in connection with the leaven otherwise refers to something that is contrary to holiness. It represents evil. In the Old Testament spoke the unleavened bread of God's holiness, and one should beware of having leaven in it. But when it comes to the professing church (Luke 13.21), the yeast mixed in, as the professing church contains an element of evil. Just as leaven the dough to swell and thus make it bigger than it really is, without adding value, it is a false teacher. It was the Pharisees setting, Sadducees and Herodians unbelieving secularism. All this served to inflate the religion, while in reality it was all about evil powers (Matt. 16.6 to 12; Mark 8.14 to 21). Also in the letters signifying evil leaven (1 Cor 5.6 to 8, Gal 5.7 to 10). The fact that there is no harm in both the true church and in the professing church, is clearly expressed in Scripture and provides the basis for many admonitions and reprimands. It is therefore far better to interpret the leaven that this evil element in the professing church. The evil has permeated the church.
But it is strange to some who live in sin, that the said preachers. They always have to attack someone else or they are gay, or some like me who reveal their sin. Why not get the beam out of his own eye, so that one can be spiritually and mentally normal, and like Jesus?!
