ANGEL-MESSENGER "FOR HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER THEE, TO KEEP THEE IN ALL THYWAYS." (PSALM 91:11) (maläkim) The word ANGELS comes from the Hebrew maläktm, meaning MESSENGERS. Scripture itself uses maläkim for human messengers as well as divine ones. PSALM 91 IS NOT TEACHING THAT GOD DISPATCHES SUPERNATURAL BEINGS TO PHYSICALLY GUARD HIS PEOPLE FROM RANDOM DANGER-AS THOUGH ANYTHING COULD OCCUR OUTSIDE HIS DECREE. GOD ORDAINS ALL THINGS The Lord is not reacting to danger; He has already determined the end from the beginning. (ISAIAH 46:10)- THIS PASSAGE DECLARES GOD'S COVENANT CARE FOR HIS ELECT THROUGH THE MEANS HE HIMSELF HAS APPOINTED: He "keeps" His people by His Word and by those who bear it. The born-again—God's messengers—are used to exhort, warn, restore, and strengthen one another in truth. (HEB 3:13; GAL 6:1-2)

"Warn a divisive person once. Then warn them a second time. Have nothing to do with them after that" Titus 3:10 #VerseOfTheDay This is not as easy as it may seem on first reading #CommentOfTheDay

Bingo!

"That’s just your interpretation" is one of the dumbest, most common dodges out there. It’s lazy whining from people who refuse to actually submit to what God has said in Scripture. The problem isn't proper "interpretation," but a refusal to fully submit to Christ through His Word. That’s exactly why so many insist upon twisting or adding to Scripture (e.g., the Book of Mormon, the New World Translation, etc.) or insist their church (Magisterium) has authority over it. All of this reveals the same rebellion against being crucified with Christ. Anything added to Scripture, or any excuse that dodges direct submission to it, flows from a heart that rejects His authority. "Scripture alone" (Scripture alone) is fine, but the only right response to a sovereign God who has spoken through it is to submit to it entirely.

Shalom It is shot throughout Exodus 20, 21 and 22 Surprisingly so in a way not evident in English 'Peace' yes But also 'whole' and 'complete' And so much more After 57 years of following the LORD and reading His Book, I almost feel as if I am reading it for the first time
