Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

When Jesus’ family came to take possession of Jesus, it was because they thought he had lost his mind.

Mark 3:20-34  –  Luke 4:16-31  –  Mark 2:1  –  Mark 10:9-11  – Mark 3:6

Fact of the Day

Fact #1 – Jesus had been born and raised in Nazareth, but his former friends rejected him and tried to kill him 

Fact #2 – So he moved to Capernaum where he chose his apostles and apparently rented a house.   (He and the 12 was a big house full and they needed their privacy.  And his mother had to come to see him in his home.)

Fact #3 – But so many people were following him around – both people wanting to be healed and Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem already trying to destroy him – that he and his apostles couldn’t even eat.

Fact #4 – The scribes kept declaring that Jesus was demon possessed because he was casting out demons by the power of Satan.

Fact #5 – The Bible does not say who in the city heard about it, but what it does say what they did (according to the Greek) was to gently try to persuade him to leave with them – in other words, they tried to rescue him.

Fact #6 – But Jesus had powers to take care of himself.  So, he told two parables.  

Fact #7 – Next, his mother and relatives (brothers, sisters, etc.) came and just stood outside. 

Fact #8 – The word often translated “called” him is not a vocal call in Greek, but drawing attention to someone just by their presence. It is also used in “weep with those who weep”, etc.

Fact #9 – When Jesus realized his family was there, he launched into a new speech. (He always took advantage of every situation.  Remember, “You shall be fishers of men?”) To the crowd (even his enemies) he looked around and said, “Follow my guide and you, too, can be my brothers,  etc.

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

God’s Prophet, Samuel, came up out of the ground and appeared to a witch

I Samuel 28:11-14; 19

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 – Deuteronomy  24:1 – Judges 6:12 – Judges 13:3  – II Samuel 24:15-17 – Matthew 1:20-24  – Mark 1:34 – Mark 16:1-7 – Luke 1:11-20 – Luke 1:26-38 –– Luke 2:8-15 – Luke 22:43 –  Acts 12:7  –  Acts 16:15-18 – Matthew 17:3  –  Revelation 1:12-17, etc.

Fact of the Day 

No!

(1) The witch was surprised when she saw the “ghost”. 

(2) Only she claimed to see it.  Saul did not see it.  

(3) Everyone who was around anyone seeing someone appear from the other world saw the person too.

(4) It came up out of the ground.  When Moses and Elijah appeared to Jesus, they were on equal level with him; they did not come up out of the ground. 

(5) All heavenly beings who appeared on earth, even when dressed like a human, either appeared on equal level or from above. 

(6) Jesus did not want demons to tell who he was, nor did Paul, even though it was the truth.

(7) Just because what the “ghost” said came true does not prove it was Samuel; Pagan Baalam’s prophecy came true, but he was condemned in Revelation. Saul and his sons did not have to wear their crowns into battle.

(8) God condemned all witches to death.

Scripture for Monday, October 2 (10/2)

On By Inspirations By KatherynIn Heaven, Inspirational, power, prayer, Satan, Saved from hell, Scripture, truthLeave a comment

The scripture for today, October 2 (10/2), is Daniel 10:2ff as found in the Old Testament of the Bible:

0-REV-Cover-No Logo-KINDLE-medium” ‘At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks…On the twenty-fourth day of the first month…I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen with a belt of the finest gold around his waist. His body was like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude….Then he continued, ‘Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I was detained there with the king of Persia.’ “

The description of the speaker indicates he is an angel, possibly Gabriel. Michael is another known angel. In Daniel 12:1 he is called “Michael, the great prince who protects your people.” Jude 9 refers to Michael as an archangel who disputed with Satan over the body of Moses.

Revelation 12:7-9 says, “And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down ~ that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth and his angels with him.”

Now, let us look back at Daniel 10. Daniel prayed for 21 days. The un-named angel (Gabriel?) appeared to him on the 24th day and said Daniel’s prayers had been heard the first day, but God’s angel could not break away to help because of fighting Satan’s angels.

Now look at Ephesians 6:12, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Does our persistence in prayer give strength to the angels?  Something to think about….

 

Scripture for Tuesday, August 29 (8/29)

On By Inspirations By KatherynIn Bible, faith, forgiveness, Inspirational, judging, Satan, Scripture, truth1 Comment

The scripture for today, August 29 (8/29), is Matthew 8:29 as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

Life-Changing-Scriptures-Cover-medium” ‘What do you want with us, Son of God?’ they shouted. ‘Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?’ “

If you are not familiar with this passage, these are the words of a demon. If you have ever studied demons in the Bible, you will find that they never tried to spook or scare people. They never made dishes rattle or lamps fall over.

All they did was cause physical problems during the lifetime of Jesus and his apostles. There is no evidence of demons doing this in the Old Testament before Jesus, nor after his apostles died, either in the Bible or in the writings of the apostolic fathers. It is as though the demons were loosed for a season so Jesus could show his power over them also ~ Ephesians 1:20-21.

Notice, demons never said bad things. If they talked at all, it was out of fear and honesty.  James 2:19 says all demons believe in Jesus. In the book of Matthew, they knew who Jesus was. They called him the Son of God. But belief alone does not save. Demons are not saved.

Jesus told them to be quiet. Why? He didn’t want evil beings telling people who he was; he wanted goodness to tell people who he was.

The movies have warped our understanding of demons. Let us search the scriptures to find out their true nature. Then we no longer have to guess. We can rest assured.

DISCUSSION QUESTION: SOME PEOPLE SAY ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO BE SAVED IS BELIEVE JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD. BUT THE DEMONS BELIEVE THAT & THEY ARE NOT SAVED. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?

The scripture for today, March 9, is Ephesians 3:9f as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

HS-COVER-KINDLE-GOLD“To make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Ever wonder why God created the world? Here it is. The “mystery” as expanded upon in this book, is Jesus paying the price for our sins and setting us free so that we have full forgiveness ~ and it is available to everyone in the whole world.

Who does God want to explain this to? Rulers and authorities in heavenly realms ~ angels, demons and Satan. You see, Satan does not want anyone to be forgiven. He spends a lot of time and energy encouraging people to sin through the wrong kinds of fun or power, for he doesn’t want to be the only one going to hell. But God is more powerful than Satan. Even when Satan is successful and we sin, God just negates it and forgives us. There is nothing that Satan can do that God cannot undo.

God is great!HS-COVER-KINDLE-GOLD
