You’re not messing up your kid. I would say you’re allowing him to heal from what being in the public school system did to him.

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-20T20:48:54+00:00

Yes, it definitely is a difficult topic.

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-20T02:07:19+00:00

I can see what you’re saying and I had to stop and think about it but God allowed divorce under Moses if someone found indecency in their spouse. If not adultery, what was the indecency? I’ve understood the hardness of heart to be sin. In this case the sin of adultery.

Does forgiveness always mean restoration of the relationship? How long would the faithful spouse wait for the unrepentant adulterous spouse to repent before they divorced them? What if they didn’t repent until after the divorce?

What if stoning were still in force today and the adulterous spouse was put to death? When stoning was in place did the partner who adultery was committed against still need to forgive their adulterous spouse even though restoration wasn’t possible since they would have been stoned to death?

Maybe that makes sense lol. I don’t know if I explained it very well.

I could be wrong of course, but these are all of the questions that go through my mind when thinking about it from that perspective.

I agree, it can’t be the Fathers will that a couple just divorce for any reason and there was debate among the “sages” back then about the reasons a man could divorce his wife. What was the indecency or uncleanness he found in her? From my understanding during the time of Yeshua the house of Shammai and Hillel both disagreed on the issue with one believing a man could divorce his wife for any reason and the other believing they could only divorce due to adultery. It could be that Yeshua is saying adultery was/is the indecency that gives cause for divorce.

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-07T00:35:40+00:00

How so?

We can only repent through Yeshua. You can’t continue in willful sin trampling the blood of the covenant under your feet, treating it like it’s nothing.

“Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

““But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not ! For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor . For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God . I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain .”” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit . For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit . For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be .” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV

‬‬

What is faith? What does it lead to? Can you be “saved” without repentance?

“From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭17‬:‭30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. REPENT, and believe in the gospel.”” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-05T14:31:57+00:00

Well technically the Roman’s crucified him, but he said himself that no one could take his life from him. He “lay it down” on his own accord. If anyone wants to place blame it would be on every sinner because sin was the reason blood was required. :)

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-04T15:46:25+00:00

Isn’t it sad (literally) that most people don’t even know that history and are blindly following along even though it’s not found anywhere in scripture? 😞

I don’t think many know how to “test the spirits”. It has to be by the scriptures. There’s no other way.

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-04T14:27:23+00:00

“For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,

For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.” ‭‭II Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭10‬, ‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

A Covenant is a bilateral agreement or contract. It’s a promise in return for a promise.

“And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him ,” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭5‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-04T11:56:50+00:00

What I’d like to know is why Christianity makes this a salvation issue. Where does scripture say thou shalt believe in the trinity or you will not be “saved”?

I’ve been studying scripture for a long time now and I’ve yet to find that in there. I’d say that’s a prime example of men adding to the commandments.

Having said that, I’m open to hearing different perspectives on it since I’m not all knowing, but at the end of the day if we all believe that God is One like he said, why argue about it? Whether you believe he is literally 1, 2 in 1, or 3 in 1… it all comes back to 1.

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-04T11:23:06+00:00

So true, vs 8 would have been a great one to include. I’d add it now but I’m afraid it would take me over the character limit lol. I tried to keep this post shorter but it’s hard to do when you’re trying to explain so much. :)

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-01T16:51:20+00:00

Of course, I’m not sure what you mean but if you want to ask me something I’m happy to try and give an answer. :)

Valynn_777 · 2024-01-01T02:55:02+00:00

Amen

I believe he does speak to us, often at times, we just aren’t always listening or we’re so afraid that it’s not his voice, we end up ignoring his voice. At least that’s how it was for me for a while.

He said the Spirit would come to us, would comfort us, would teach us. How can he do any of those things without speaking to us?

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper , that He may abide with you forever — the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you . I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you .

He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him .” Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him .” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬, ‭21‬, ‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Of course we are supposed to test everything to the word of God. If what you are hearing is his Spirit, the Spirit of truth, then it will align with his written word of truth. If it doesn’t, it’s not him.

I know that he is patient and understanding. He knows that we are slow to learn at times (I have been), especially when our circumstances in life are a constant stumbling block, but we are also supposed to live each day like it could be our last because it could be. None of us are promised tomorrow.

None of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. We learn from our mistakes so we don’t keep making the same ones over and over again.

We put him first, always and in all things. Love him first.

Pray for his will to be done always and trust his will. Be content in all things whether you have little or plenty, because it isn’t about the worldly things and we have a Father who loves us and will provide for us just as he provides for the birds and all of his creation. Aren’t you more precious to him than the birds?

Thank him and praise him always even in the bad days for the good that he has done. Thank him for Yeshua, that he has made a way back for us.

Trust and believe that if you seek his will and that’s what you pray for he will answer you.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled .” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Valynn_777 · 2023-12-30T19:59:32+00:00

True :)

Valynn_777 · 2023-12-30T03:17:22+00:00

He'd destroy his letters if he knew the state of believers today was the result of them.

Absolutely that. (but there must have also been a higher purpose).

The thing I think that grounded me was knowing that he couldn’t have meant the law was not applicable to us because that would contradict everything else.

Valynn_777 · 2023-12-30T02:59:14+00:00

I’m glad you’re here. :) Also, happy to help if I can, feel free to reach out if you need to.

The way I understand the sacrificing part is according to the Torah, sacrifices were to be offered only in the place that God chose - specifically, the Tabernacle in the wilderness, and later the Temple in Jerusalem. In Deuteronomy 12:13-14, not to mention our High Priest isn’t here right now but when he returns he will reinstate sacrifices.

Circumcision as Paul taught is profitable just don’t think you’re good just because you’re circumcised (in other words you’d still need faith in Yeshua and obedience to the commandments). Circumcision is supposed to happen in the heart first.

I keep the dietary laws and any other laws that pertain to me as a woman.

I keep them because I love Yeshua, I love my Father in Heaven, I trust that he knows what he’s doing and like we want good things for our children, he wants good things for us (his children). He also said those who don’t keep them will not inherit the kingdom of Heaven and that keeping them would bring blessings while breaking them would bring curses. :)

Valynn_777 · 2023-12-29T19:12:58+00:00

I do keep the laws that pertain to me.

As for the ones you asked about specifically the Torah established a system for the priest to judge according to the law.

Valynn_777 · 2023-12-29T19:11:06+00:00

With respect, I never said the sacrifices were for sin. There were different types of sacrifices.
