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

Oops of the Day

God is good.  And I never did anything really, really bad.  So he’ll forgive me for everything I ever did and let me into heaven.

Proverbs 1:18  –  Proverbs 1:27-33  –  Proverbs 3:20-34  –  Proverbs 8:36  –   Matthew 7:2 – and many more

Fact of the Day 

No!  Don’t forget the boomerang effect.  What we do to others backfires on us.  It’s throughout the Bible.

  • Proverbs 1:18 – commit armed robbery
  • Proverbs 1:27ff – Find excuses to not read God’s advice — the Bible
  • Proverbs 3:27-28- Too busy to help someone needing you
  • Proverbs 3:30-34 – Lie about someone
  • Proverbs 8:36 – Hate God
  • Matthew 7:2 – Are judgmental of others.

….and many more.

Surprise of the Day

 A WARNING TO FIVE GENERATIONS IN ONE PSALM

Psalm 78

Fact of the Day 

  • Generation 1: “our fathers have told us” –our grandparents (v. 3)
    Generation 2: “not conceal from their children” – our brothers and sisters. (v. 4a)
    Generation 3: “tell to the generation to come” – our children (v. 4b )
    Generation 4: “the children yet to he born”- our grandchildren (v. 6a)
    Generation 5: “to their children” – our great grandchildren (v, 6b)

This is a warning that our inheritance could be taken away.  So, stand fast.  God had freed the Jewish slaves from Egypt, but…

1 – They kept the mentality of complaining slaves until, over 40 years wandering in the wilderness as nomads, they all died. (Generation 1)
2- They kept the mentality of children of slaves until, after God gave them a land to settle in, they complained again and the generation of the slave children all died. (Generation 2-3)
3- – Therefore, God takes away the throne of Jacob’s oldest son by his favorite wife – Joseph & Ephriam — and gives it to Judah, the oldest responsible son of Jacob’s hated wife.  (Generation 4-5)

Hmmmm.

Oops of the Day

 Jesus was made a little lower than angels.

Psalm 8:4-6  –   Malachi 3:1  –  Hebrews 2:6

Fact of the Day 

No.  The original Hebrew of the Old Testament and original Greek of the New Testament both say “messenger,” often translated into English as angel.   

But there are other kinds of messengers besides angels.   Malachi predicted there were going to be two messengers – (1) a first messenger to introduce the second messenger, and (2) the second messenger.

Psalm 8:6 says this second messenger created the world, and all things were put under his feet.  Angels do not create and will never have all things under their feet.  The translation should be that God made him a little lower than God. 

Malachi was prophecying about John the Baptist and Jesus.

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

Oops of the Day

God doesn’t mind if I miss worshiping on Sunday.  After all, a person has to live.  I had unexpected company last Sunday, and well yeah, I will be missing the day of the big game.  But God understands.  We are tight!  He’s my buddy. 

Exodus 20:8-11  –  Exodus 32:1-35  –  Hebrews 10:24-31

Fact of the Day  

No!  People who are more interested in doing other things than worship would be miserable in heaven where they worship all the time.  Then, they would make heaven miserable.  This cannot be!

 It is one of the most serious crimes in the Bible. People today who “skip worship” on Sundays to do other things [desecrate] are similar to the Jews who “skipped the Sabbath Day” in Bible times to do other things [desecrate]. It is serious. What will happen to them?

During the days of the Old Testament and when the Law of  Moses was kept, this was the command:  “You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it [does other things that day] is to be put to death.”

And in the New Testament, Hebrews says in part, “…25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.”

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

Oops of the Day

When I complain to God in prayer about all the bad things happening to me, he will hear my pain and solve my problems.

          Numbers 14:26                    

I Corinthians 10:10 –  I Corinthians 13:5c – Ephesias 4:30-31 – James 1:2 – Jude 1:16

Fact of the Day  

No! Complaining is akin to bitterness and harboring grudges.  When we complain, we are telling God we do not want to be where he wants us to be or to experience what he wants us to experience.  Instead of complaining, we are to rejoice that things are bad for us.  Huh?  Look it up.  

When you are tired and feel helpless, live in the moment.  Bloom where you are planted.  The world will notice.

Oops of the Day

The Jews were required to give a tithe to the temple every year.

Deuteronomy 14:22-28

Deuteronomy 26:12  –  Leviticus 1-5  –  Leviticus 27:2  –  Numbers 21:2  –  I Samul 1:11  –   II Samuel 15:7-8  –   Psalm 22:11, 25  –  Psalm 66:13  –  Psalm 76:11  –  Psalm 116:8,14,18-19  –   Job 22:27  –   Jonah 1:7-9

Fact of the Day  

No! !  It was much more. A good Jew gave about one third of his income, not just one tenth. (1) The Jews had to give an extra tithe every three years for their welfare program. (2) They had to pay for their vows, which in many cases were really special prayer requests.  (3) They had to buy animals for sacrifices for intentional sins, unintentional sins and sins requiring restitution.  (4) If they wanted to thank God for anything special, they had to buy grain for a sacrifice  (5)  If they didn’t have mney to buy the animals or grain, they had to take them out of their own supply, thus depleting their own “pay check.” (6) And every time one of their flocks or herds had a first-born “first-fruits”, they had to sacrifice it ~ another depleting of the “pay check.”  

Still want to follow the Law of Moses to get people to give more?

Oops of the Day

God was mean to tell the Jews to take over someone else’s land.

Deuteronomy 12:29-31

Genesis 15:13-16  –   II Kings 17:16-18,  &  29-30  –  II Kings 21:3-11

Fact of the Day  

No! God  promised Abraham that his descendants could take over  land occupied by other people – the Amorites. But not yet.  They had to wait until the sins of the Amorites peaked . The Amorites were practicing human sacrifice to the fire god Moloch (later adopted by Baal priests).  God used the Jews to punish the Amorites.  And he warned the Jews that, if they ever did the same things, that when they reached the peak of their evil, he would give the land to yet someone else.   Then later, the two Jewish kings did the same horrible thing – sacrifice their own  children.  So God kept that promise too. He let two nations come and take the land away from the Jews as their punshment. They ended up in today’s Northern and Southern Iraq – Assyria and Babylon.

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

Oops of the Day

If anyone has a vision of God speaking directly to them, it proves they are saved.

Numbers 23:7-10  –  Numbers 23:18-24  –  Revelation 2:14

Fact of the Day  

No!  The pagan prophet Balaam made beautiful prophecies about the Israelites and Jesus, a savior who would come 2000 years later.  But he did so against his will.    God put those words in his mouth.  God made him bless the Israelites and would not let him curse them as Balaam wanted to do.  To try to counter his blessing, Balaam stayed around  and enticed those same Israelites to sin by eating food offered to idols and worshiping with prostitute temple priestesses in Moab (today’s southern Jordan).  Therefore, Revelation says he was the one who was cursed.

Surprise of the Day

Did you know the Israelites sometimes sacrificed their children in fire?

Leviticus 18:21

Leviticus 20:1-27 –  Deuteronomy 12:31 and Deuteronomy 18:10 –  2nd Kings 3:27  –  2nd Kings 16:3  –  2nd Kings 17:17-18  –   2nd Kings 21:2-6  –   2nd Chronicles 28:3  –  2nd Chronicles 33:6  –  Psalm 106:37-38  —  Isaiah 57:5  –  Jeremiah 7:30-34  –  Jeremiah 19:5  –  Jeremiah 32:35  –  Ezekiel 16:20-21 –  Ezekiel 16:36-38  –  Ezekiel 20:25-31  –  Ezekiel 23:37  –  Hosea 13:2

Fact of the Day  

One of the things the Israelites did when they worshiped the pagan non-gods of people around them, is that they sacrificed even their children in  fire.  Look at all the scriptures telling them not to.  God warned them that, if they became like the people he drove out of Cnaan so they could have the land, he would drive them out too.  So, they did and he did.  How horrible righteous Abraham’s grandchildren became.

Wonder of wonders!

On By Inspirations By KatherynIn prayerLeave a comment

The scripture for today, March 26 (3/26), is Galatians 3:26f as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

Clouds in blue sky“You are all sons of God through faith in Christ because all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.”

The Muslim religion teaches that God is too far above humans to have such a relationship ~ you know, the parent-child kind, a family relationship. They are taught God created humans to have someone to worship him and be his slaves. Oh, how much they are missing.  And the rest of the world too.

Our Bible says God created humans to have someone to love. He wants to be more than a distant God; he wants to be our heavenly Father. So, when we come out of the waters of baptism, it is like coming out of a watery womb; Romans 6:4-5 says we are then born into a new spiritual life.

Everyone in the Christian world knows that baptism is in the Bible. Today’s scripture explains, “…because you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ,” and therefore, we have become sons with Christ ~ adopted sons. (See also Ephesians 1:5). Ah, how wonderful!

No need to be spiritually blind and poor and naked (Revelation 3:17).  You can gain spiritual insight, be rich in grace, and be clothed with Christ.

No need to be spiritually orphaned ~ you can become a child of God. He holds out holy arms to you. He wants to embrace you and hold you close as you finish this life on earth.

No need to be spiritually homeless.  Wonder of wonders, the Creator of the universe wants to take you home with him.
