— — — — — — — — — — — —
1. Being and nothingness
According to Scripture, God is not a fiction
and indeed there is, and all that we see, and what not to see, really exists,
and is not the subject of our imagination. This is indicated by the existence
of many languages, the verb "to be" in the present tense [Ich bin
(German), Je sui (Franch), I am (English), Я є (in Ukrainian)].
I Am the alpha and the Omega, the beginning
and the end, the first and the last.
Revelation 22.13
We live and move and exist.
Acts 17.28
NOTHINGNESS
- is the place where is something
that does not exist. So cone the other world's applications, which do not
actually exist, as there was no horizon (an imaginary line between the sky and
ground).
In sheol*, wherever you go, no work, no
reflections, nor knowledge, nor wisdom.
Ecclesiastes 9.10
* Note. Sheol (Hebrew) - nothingness. Related
terms: grave, hell, tartarus, but NOT gehenom.
2. Space and time, intelligent creatures
The Apostle Paul in a speech on the Areopagus
in Athens said :
By blood alone He produced the entire human
race to living across the face of the Earth by assigning predefined their TIMES
and BUTTINN, so they searched for God...
Act 17.26-27
SPACE is caused by availability and a
relative positioning of subject matters.
TIME due to events and their sequence.
Without the existence of objects and events
they make no sense.
Last words point to a free choice of rational
beings with a free mind, who are like him who made their Supreme Beings
(Genesis 1.26).
3. The visible and invisible world
They (Christ) created all that is in the
heavens and on Earth, visible and invisible.
Colossians 1.16
VISIBLE WORLD - the world of material
INVISIBLE - world of spiritual
These two worlds are an integral part of
life, but not one primary and one secondary - THEY
are COMPLETELY equal and interrelated.
There is one body and one spirit, just as you
are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of
all who is over all and through all and in all of us*.
Ephesians 4.4-5
* Note. Our title - MAN (and CHRISTIAN)
4. Measurement of the material world and
knowledge
MATTER is that perceived Analyzers (sense
organs).
It is caused by only the objects and events.
The world we see is three spatial and one
temporal dimension (x, y, z, t). We see the eye width, height, depth, and time,
the current evenly and in one direction (an argument).
Linear dimensions are also mentioned in the
Bible (Ephesians 3.18).
* * *
For what can be known of God*, CLEARLY to
them, because God revealed to them (Romans 1.19).
* The Bible teaches that knowledge of the
existence at all is the knowledge of God as Creator and of his nature (verse
20). What we need to know, He reveals to us in due time. Matter is the substance (matter) and the
property of the substance.
5. The spirit world and its basis
The SPIRITUAL WORLD is a world of senses,
emotions, experiences (though not considered adopted parsers).
God is spirit (John 4.24) and is not a
matter. It cannot be understood senses and cannot comprehend. It has no
beginning and no end and is perfect the supernatural being. It's out of matter
(and hence space and time), and above it:
Can studies find God? Can completely
comprehend the Almighty? He is above the heaven-what can you do? Deeper into
the underworld (see
p.1) - what can you learn?
Job 11.7-8
To communicate with the creatures. God
accepts them intelligible images. One of them, son of man, Jesus Christ (John
1.18).
Having the spirit God has given them some of
the creations (Genesis 1.26).
The spiritual world as God, can have an
infinite number of dimensions.
6. Nature of living beings
Creatures - animals and man are different
from other creations by breath of life (Genesis 2.7, Ecclesiastes 3.19).
Spiritual life separate from the human body
is NOT POSSIBLE :
His spirit goes forth, he returneth to; in
that day his thoughts perish.
Psalm 146.4
But God is the only thing in the universe is
an immortal creature - may provide Their immortally to mortan creations (1
Timothy 6.16).
*
* *
Humans have free will and their desire to
affect their lives (Galatians
6.7-8).
The gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6.23
7. Origin of the universe. God is love
God as Creator is a Legislator and
established laws of nature for all creations and the moral law - ten
commandments - for intelligent beings as the Constitution of the universe
(Isaiah 45.12, Exodus 20.2-17).
It is also not important, because the
universe is worth It (Collosians 1.17).
We can therefore assert that the universal
disaster is impossible, and be totally calm, because “we come to know the love that God has for us,
and believe in it. God is love,
and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him”.
1 John 4.16
We love him because he first loved us.
1 John 4.19
BASIS FOR THE REFORM OF HEALTH, OR CARE
REFORM
Main principles :
1. Right nutrition
2. Sunlight
3. Fresh air
4. Water
5. Exercise
6. Abstinence
7. Rest
8. Belief in God
Detail :
1. The basics of nutrition - vegetable, meat
of unclean animals, less fat and more carbohydrates (80% of the diet), avoid
overeating. Eat regularly,
no snacking in between the techniques of food.
Note: Diet of a person depends on the type of
occupation-physical or mental labour.
2. Being in the Sun. 15 minutes a day is
enough for a daily requirement of vitamin D. Desirable smooth, mild sunburn. The Sun's rays must penetrate
into the room.
3. Being in the fresh air, the better.
Thoroughly ventilate.
4. Follow the rules of personal hygiene, it
is desirable to shower more often. Drink more pure soft water (8-12 glasses a day depending
on the weight of the person). Between food and drinking water to break 2 hours after food was
digested.
5. To engage in physical culture and sports.
Another great benefit is physical work.
6. Complete avoidance of addictions: smoking,
alcohol, drugs, spousal infidelity.
7. Sufficient rest daily (including 8-hour
sleep), downloads (Saturdays)
and annually.
8. Faith in God and the Holy Scripture not
only brings happiness, but also has a beneficial effects on the human body and the central
nervous system, reduces
stress, saves from despair and depression.
The Scriptures... They show Me (John 5.39).
Waiting for the Messiah, or Christ is one of
the central themes of the Bible.
These were all generations of people, from
Adam and Eve. When they had their first son, Cain, they thought it was and is
the Messiah ("Patriarchs and Prophets").
Enoch prophesied about him. Even he was fully
shown in the vision (Ibid., Judah 14-15).
The Redeemer who will resurrect the dead,
believed Job - Job 19.25-27a.
Moses and all the prophets have said about
him. So it was until his arrival.
Jews await him until now. They believe that
he is coming, will draw all people to the truth and will build on the Earth
realm of goodness and well-being.
So who is he, the Messiah, or Christ?
Different people on this account, there is no
consensus. Thousands of them. Some will declare themselves.
But how can you determine this?
The biologists have a method: based on the
full set of the many signs (shape, color, size, appearance, parts, etc.) They define
some kind of plants, animals or microorganisms.
And how to be with Christ?
It turns out his signs (and quite a few!) are
contained in the Bible. On the basis of their we determine unmistakably what
Jesus of Nazareth and only he is Christ. Look at them.
In the Old Testament, dozens or even hundreds.
For error-free definition of even some of them enough. The New Testament
describes how it turns, and it is this version and there is a good news for all
people.
So, let's list them.
1) Specifying the first - birth place of
Christ.
When Jesus began to teach for the first time,
that he is the one who expects Israel, He at first didn't believe the majority of the Jews.
Why?
Because he was from Nazareth, who, in
addition, also used bad glory. And the Messiah to be from Bethlehem
( Beit-Lehem - Mih 5.2).
And those who did not believe in him
(including priests), recognized his Christ when seen, where he was born.
2) Second - time.
Dan 9.25
a) Command to restore Jerusalem.
Adventist critics accuse of partiality and
fraud. They believe
that this is the Decree of Cyrus (538 BC) and 2300 years should count too from him.
But this is not true. The edict of Cyrus is
only permitted on the Queen of the temple (Ezra 1.2-4). It was stopped on suspicion of sedition and
reiterated resolved by Darius in the year 519.
The Decree, which said Daniel, Artaxerxes in
457 BC, it shows on the
relevant texts (Ezra 7.12-26).
b) What is "week" ?
As it turns out, it's not a seven-day week
(the language of the original and much more). It is 7 years.
7 weeks - recovery time of Jerusalem
62 weeks more - up to the coming of Christ
Total 69x7 = 483 years
The addition will give us the year 27 AD .
- This year is the 15th year of Board of
Emperor Tiberias
- Census of Caesar Augustus had about 4 BC
Historians know about this. Everything is the same.
Our calendar - Nativity - was introduced in
about V century
(by counting boards monarchs - counted years in antiquity) and have an error of approximately 3 years.
Because 27-th year AD, and Christ began His the service in 30 years.
From this it follows that all those who are
still waiting for the Messiah, is deeply misguided.
3) Way of coming into the world.
He is uncanny - immaculate conception -
Isaiah 7.14
And the text stating that the Messiah has
come true the
incarnate God - Isaiah 9.6-7, translated from the original.
Atheism and skepticism of the ruin. They
arrogantly saying: “DO NOT HAPPENS!" The
man thinks (as saying scientists) that he knows about the universe "almost
everything", and himself knows very little compared with what it is not knows.
"I only know that I know nothing"
(Socrates).
About the same statement belongs to the
Apostle Paul, 1 Corinthians 8.2-3
Unreasonable to claim that in the world of
particles, there's nothing (for example).
Conservation laws of course work, but not as primitive
as thinks the
majority of scientists.
Also the wrong approach - to explain, from a
purely scientific point of view, the Bible miracles (care of water in the Red sea,
Manna, and the star of Bethlehem etc.).
4) Related the events of Christ's life.
One more proof of its truth. His life and
Ministry in the Old Testament predicted in detail.
Some of them, for example, are associated
with the personality of King Herod, who wanted to kill the newborn Christ, no one claimed his
throne.
- The flight of the Holy Family in Egypt and
return from there when the risk passed (Os 11.1).
- The massacre of the innocents (Jer 31.15).
This cruelty, like many others, was already
mentioned in the Bible (Exodus Chapter 1 and 2).
5) What Moses speaks about Christ?
a) he calls Him a "Prophet" -
Deuteronomy 18.15
But it's not just a prophet, others of them.
He came to Earth to save dying and atone for their Own death. This is the main
theme of Scripture - John 3.16
Jesus revealed to the world not only for Its
grace, but a glorified law that not cancelled and is not changed one iota.
Only the equal of God could do that.
Jews are taught: who recognises Jesus by God,
that violate the first commandment.
But this is not true. They did it violate,
for rejecting those who "brought them from the land of Egypt, from the House of
bondage" in a pillar of cloud and fire and led to the promised land.
b) the first prophecy about Christ, Moses and
the whole Bible: Genesis 3.14-15
He wins the devil, which would declare war.
It is the promise of victory given by Adam
and eve before the expulsion from paradise, together with promise that they and their descendants would
return there. THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE MESSIAH.
6) The forerunner of Christ.
Someone had to prepare people for his coming.
a) Angel (Mal 3.1).
What is this word?
Did the call of the spirit of God is really
angel? NO.
This may be a man of God.
It teaches the New Testament (Revelation
Chapter 2 and 3) and Old Testament too, if you look carefully. This is consistent with the text
of the Psalm 8.6 : "Not a lot You violated it before the angels".
The three-angels message from Revelation
14.6-12 - about the same.
b) Elijah the Prophet (Mal 4.5-6).
Who is this?
The one who comes before the advent of
Christ.
The Jews, too, recognize this and waiting for
Elijah. In the seder (Ministry of Passover) is a glass for Elijah the Prophet.
But it is not the literal Elijah and John the
Baptist, the voice of one crying in the desert”.
Why God did not send the Elijah to heaven?
For the same reason does not send his angels
rejoice.
God does not want to pressure people and
intimidate them. Ordinary God’s men, His servants, not only have the word, but also show
by example righteous
life.
7) Is 9.2 - "People who walked in
darkness have seen a great light".
This and the Jews and the Gentiles.
For Jews - reminds the ideals of Torah,
For Gentiles - open concept of the true God (at that
time only the Jews had It, and all the others served as idols).
God loves both.
But first the Messiah came to Israel.
Nevertheless, the pagans got it blessings (Matthew ch.15 - healing daughter of Hananean
woman).
8) Kindness to all - the distinctive feature
of the coming of Christ.
Is 42.1-4
What is it?
"Canes will not refracted by" -
support for those who have hard life,
"Will not extinguish no smoking
flax" - the excitement of everyone who has the least spark faith, and
multiply it.
9) Other details (from the book of Zechariah)
:
Zach 9.9 - enter Jerusalem on a donkey in
order to draw attention to itself as on the King. Rulers go on horseback, donkey - a symbol of modesty.
Zach 11.12 - He would be betrayed for 30
silver coins. And subsequent events :
- the death of Judas;
- apostle instead will become the other (Acts
ch.1).
10.) Daniel, except the time of Christ,
predicted that it should die, and this will happen “in the middle of the
week" - 3.5 years.
The Jews thought that He came to reign in Jerusalem. Original originally
thought and the Apostles. This is the cause of great frustration (as in the
year 1844), when finally it was discovered the truth.
11) Predicted not only the death of Christ,
but also the method of execution - crucifixion (for 1000 years before his birth that has not
yet been) Ps 22.17
And verse 19 - one more detail about the
clothes: one part of Roman soldiers severed and divided, and the other was without sims
(severed) and on It
threw a lot who will get all.
Version of the Jews: this is
the Rebbe from Lubavich and mean the dropper.
Some still await his resurrection.
If so, how to be with the rest of the signs?
Because the match must ALL, not just one.
12) Chapter 53 of Isaiah is the Everest of
all the prophecies about Christ, home peak.
Before this part of Judaism, as well as
others, were considered messianic, but then rabbis changed the teachings. There is a
version that it is about Jewish people. In end this chapter simply forbidden to read.
Go on and see what it says about the Messiah,
and not on all
Jews :
a) He will be ordinary-looking and simple.
Appearance of Christ was not unique: a man of
medium height and physiques
(physical craft carpenter), black hair, a goatee and big expressive eyes - splendor (as King Saul)
it does not differed.
b) He will be humbled (v.3). It really was
so, and same the Gospel
says.
c) in Verse 5, 8 and 11 say that He bore the
penalty that is designed others.
The Jewish people have really suffered a lot,
but only because ITS
rather than someone else's sins.
d) through it God will return, and have mercy
on the lost (v.6). And Israel, to Unfortunately, though, and gave people the Bible, but the
light of the world and not to become.
e) verse 7: It is important to know that He suffered
voluntarily.
(Gethsemane - despite the severity, he
decided to do the will of the father: "Take up your cross and follow me")
The CROSS is something that man himself
incurs (unlike conventional the inevitable difficulties).
f) HE is INNOCENT but died instead of a
guilty sinner (v.9b) and "for many become the instigator” (v.12c).
g) More details :
- executed together with criminals (v.12b)
- buried in the Tomb (v.9a)
h) and the last :
If Christ has not been raised, our faith
would be in vain, for there is no hope for eternal life. Isaiah clearly says (in verse 10) after
sacrificing himself he will live again.
13) He not only rise, but reigns.
Ps 68.2-4
The Orthodox version of the translation of
verse 2: "Yes the God will revive".
Verse 4: "But the righteous Yes will
enjoy oneself Yes rejoice before God and triumph in joy".
These last words - encouragement and hope.
Waiting for the Savior of the world permeates the whole Bible and world
history. 2000 years ago the old testament predictions have come true. And soon
His second coming to Earth.
Jesus said, "I will come again and will
take you to myself, that you have been where I am".
Listen to another parable: there was a master
of the House, who carried his vineyard, planted a fence, dug in the ground,
built a tower and let it out to tenants, absented himself. When the time came, he sent his servants to
the vinedressers to fruition; grape growers, grasping retainers, a beating that killed
him and a stoning. Again
he sent other servants more than the former; and with them went the same way. Finally, he
sent to them his son, saying: to my son's will be ashamed. But the husbandmen saw the son, said among
themselves: this is the heir; come, let us kill him and take possession of his
inheritance. And,
grasping it, pulled him out of the vineyard and killed him.
So, when the Lord of the vineyard cometh,
what will he do to those vinedressers? They said to him: the villains ever betray an evil death,
vineyard will give other grape growers who will give him the fruits in their
seasons.
Jesus said to them: did you never read in the
Scriptures: the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head
of the corner? This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes? Because I
tell you that the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to people,
fruits; And he
who falls on this stone will shatter, and whom he will drop the nut.
Matthew 21.33-44
Question : what is the vineyard of God? What
is the main purpose of God and His people? That would be if Israel carried out this purpose?
Answer :
The vineyard is a place of work to rescue the
perishing. This work is God himself and those who He worships and obeys is his
co-worker. Tai on Salvation altogether too deep to understand her completely.
But the Lord never does for their other work. Those who worked for him who
forgot it, inevitably will be banished, and their privilege to be the light of
peace will be taken away and given to others.
Thus, God's purpose is to save as many people
as possible, because he is "not advisable o someone who died." If
God's people do not have acted the way he did, he could become the true light
of the world and proliferated. The Jews do hipocrisy, creating lawlessness,
persecuted the prophets and killed their Messiah, saying: "his blood upon
us and upon our children", thereby doomed himself and his descendants in
exile, the humiliation and the Holocaust.
Conclusion : the goal is the salvation of the
people, and if they carried out this purpose, it would be a light to all
Nations, have gained the fame and prosperity.
Question : whether the person could realize
God's plan?
Answer :
Yes, man can and could embody God's plan in
life. Certainly not by itself. Jesus said, "Apart from me you can do
nothing." This means that every man by nature is sinful and weak. But if
he agrees to join their weak force with divine power, he can do what God
expects from him.
The way this is hard and cannot consist only
of uninterrupted victories. On the road any repeatedly falls off, but the Lord
is always there to help under-run and go on to the great goal-eternal salvation
and return to paradise.
Conclusion : everyone can fulfill God's plan
for him, if He will not resist.
Question : could the State of Israel embody
the character of Christ, and to convert other peoples?
Answer :
God created all conditions to ensure that
every Member of His people, a whole people, and later Of Israel, his nature.
But this did not materialize, and the reason for the Israelis. They missed his
opportunity.
God always fulfills its promises and
obligations, which is not true of the human age. To Israelis and were taken out
of Egypt,
to the promised land spiritually purify
and grow. But they went after other gods, which led to a retreat and both of
persecution. And yet the Lord has not forgotten the Israelis and continues to
do them a favor, as stated in the second commandment. So there was the State of
Israel.
Even today, the people of Israel and to
believe in the Messiah and become like Him. The thing is in their free choice
and rejection of stubborn.
Conclusion : only on the choice of the
Israelis depends on whether they will have the character of Christ and whether
a light for others.
Question : what is the atonement and what
relationship it has to God's people?
Answer :
God did not create sin but made its
appearance, because this was the condition for the free choice of the
individual. Before Lucifer rebelled and became the devil and Satan, Heaven, the
Council defined the plan of salvation and redemption.
ATONEMENT-Word, related to the notion of
"redemption". Not all forever, to comprehend this mystery. It applies
to all God's people, and each person individually. The greatest mercy of God to
the fallen, any serious disturbances crime he has not committed, expressed in
words: "fear not, for I have redeemed you".
The life of Christ as an example for all, and
Its Crest is the guarantee of forgiveness and who-birth of everyone who wish:
"Coming to me will drive Vaughn.
Conclusion : God hates the sin but loves the
sinner. That is why he paid dearly for his salvation. This is an expiatory
sacrifice.
Question : is it possible to for man and God's
people in General to live a sinless life?
Answer :
Everyone got from Adam and Eve inherited a
sinful nature. In this respect the whole moral law and not to sin he cannot.
Why the Bible calls for the observance of the commandments? Because that is not
in the status of the NII to man, strong to God. It's everyone who wish to give
the power to transform your character, though it will take a very long time,
and to achieve Holiness and heaven.
Example for us, Christ himself. He lived on
Earth, was like us, experienced hunger, thirst, physical pain, was exposed to
all the temptations. Nevertheless, he defeated sin and never sinned. This means
that we act-would, if only we will not resist transforming grace.
Despite the fact that all people violate
their obligations and stumble, and God is always faithful, he reveals to us the
indulgence. So the way to salvation - is open to all. Everyone can be cleansed
from sin and enter into a new world, which will no longer be anything unclean.
Conclusion : even though people cannot become
a Holy being, so it would make God. One need only ask.
Question : whether the salvation of God's
people Was Golgotha?
Answer :
God has predestined to sin and its
consequences, and foresaw it. And provided for the rescue plan. Calvary is its Center. Christ is so filled with love,
even for the sake of a perishing sinner agreed to ascend the calvary. He forecasted Judah too, and those who have It
pierced.
For what Jesus ventured into it, God It
magnified and glorified, as mentioned by Isaiah. One and the other are linked.
He came first to the Jews as those who
elected the one God and a crush on y-used Him. They rejected him, and now the
Lord nothing to go to the Gentiles. But it is also forgiving. And therefore not
closed its benefit is to give to those who yelled "crucify him!"
Conclusion : the sacrifice of Christ to all
those who took it. He is patient and waiting for everyone.
Question : how God was trying to teach his
people?
Answer :
Before the advent of Christ, many spoke on
behalf of God: Moses, Joshua, judges. Prophets, many of which were killed for
the truth and denouncing. The majority of the Jews became hypocrites and
demagogues, good only in their own eyes.
Jesus, having come, taught, said in the
Scriptures. Even Pilate acknowledged that he is the King of the Jews, and the
Jews refused.
If the opposition and disobedience is a
crucifix, then obedience is "resurrection and life". Jewish leaders
also deliberately chose the first retreat and death.
Conclusion : God's longsuffering sent his
followers to his people. Christ was the most important of all.
Question : is the prophecy of Daniel to the
Hebrews conditional or unconditional?
Answer :
The prophecy of Daniel should be
unconditional in sacrifice of Christ, as in saving the need of all the
descendants of Adam and Eve, without exception. However, in the case of the
Jews everything decides to select each of them, and all of them as a nation.
The Mission of Christ the SAME, Jews also
missed the opportunity to enlighten the world.
Breaking stones Stephen, they have shown that
they don't need a Messiah to come. Here already 2000 years they rejected it.
Nothing good is to the Jewish people. However, some of them believed, and for
the rest of the door is not yet closed.
Conclusion : the Jewish people is not elected,
but the rescue plan for each, as Jew and Gentile, not cancelled.
