God is a word sent forth without the support of God’s will; hence, revealing the individuals position; a place outside of God’s government. This is important to understand because it is by the Word of God being spoken and properly exercised in your life that will prepare you for the great things the Lord has in store for you. Not one ounce, portion, or part of the Word of God can be omitted if the individual is to walk in harmony with the Lord. As you adhere to the rudiments of fundamental Biblical principles, which are God’s Word, the flesh (the carnal nature of man) is then securely placed under subjection to the kingdom governmental order of God’s will. Note: submission unto the will of God means death unto the flesh, which is the carnal nature of man. There is no such thing as something being part dead and part alive, physically existing and being one in the same, just as there is no such thing as being partially submissive unto God. With God you are either absolutely submissive or obedient, or not at all. Life and death cannot share the same space; one must cease in order for another to exist on. In this we comprehend that the old man (the Adamic nature, the carnal, or fleshly ways of the old man) must die (exist no more) before the new man can live. This new man is a new creature who has been regenerated in spirit and transformed back into the likeness of God’s personage through Yeshuah Messiah (Jesus Christ). Greater levels of unfolding will be revealed in retrospect to life and death and how the two cannot share the same space, or simultaneously exist as one. Furthermore, in relation to the principle of dying the death, a revelation is found by sharing the mind of God unto you. As we know, life and death ca... ... middle of paper ... ... has the right to claim the title peculiar; only the offspring of God who are realm children, born of the Spirit, can declare themselves “peculiar”. As indicated in the Bible, the word peculiar is only mentioned seven times and out of the seven times, six of the Scriptures refer to God’s people as being peculiar, Exodus 19:5; Deuteronomy 14:2; 26:18; Psalms 135:4. Let us examine the Hebrew and Greek words that correspond with the English word, peculiar. The Hebrew word cegullah for peculiar, pronounced seg-ool-law’ jewel, (treasure), proper, good, special signifies of personal property, or something treasured. Israel is associated as being God’s own, or treasured possession. The Greek word periousios pronounced per-ee-oo’-see-os, renders the meaning “being beyond usual, as in special, (one’s own): peculiar. It also means that which is peculiarly one’s own”;
In the end, our oldest and most comprehensive lexicon of the New Testament’s use of Kurios is the Septuagint itself. It has been suggested that the majority of NT quotations were taken from the Septuagint. Therefore, if we follow this through to the logical conclusion, based on the following facts, we will see that the NT's use of Kurios means YHWH or Jehovah. Even if we discard the fact that our earliest Septuagint manuscripts used the Tetragrammaton, we know that the Septuagint was translated from the Hebrew Scriptures. The Hebrew Scriptures used the divine name. We have evidence of this in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Masoretic text. Therefore, at some point the translators of the Septuagint either translated the Tetragrammaton as Kurios or scribes replaced the name at a later date. Now, using our current manuscript copies of the New Testament that use only Kurios, and because the quotations and other references to the God of the Hebrew Scriptures in the NT are from the Septuagint, the intended meaning behind the word Kurios would be the divine name. The NWT is merely using a different, valid lexical English word for Kurios to denote the divine name in the New Testament quotations and elsewhere when God is intended.
In the Christian Worldview God is to be a spirit according to Luke 24:39 (New King James Version) “Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle
One question that arises is vital and it is do we become more secure in our certainty approaching death or less. Judging from his notes during the final days individuals start to challenge and question human understanding. Soon promoting open discussion on even the most trivial questions.
Another Hebrew word for peculiar is cuwr, (pronounced, soor); it renders the meaning “of the Temple” (Exodus 19:5). This indicates the meaning of God’s ownership or property; His holy possession. Our body is the Temple of the Lord where He inhabits, dwells, or abides. The Oxford Desk Dictionary and Thesaurus (American Edition) defines peculiar as “strange; odd; unusual; exclusively belonging to the individual as particular; special”.
This is a very powerful scripture. As we look at it today I believe we are going to learn some very wonderful things concerning God’s nature and His plans for us, individually and as His Church. I want to remind you of JER.29:11. The realization that God loves us enough to think and make plans for us is so amazing. When I was studying the book of Heb. I was amazed at the fact that God would invest so much time and energy into a relationship with us because the book of Heb. taught me that the old testament was God revealing His plan to redeem each of us through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and bring us into relationship with Him. He kind of told us the gospel in 3d as He set up the old covenant. We can look back at it and see God’s incredible love and plan for our redemption. They say hindsight is 2020. We are going to look back and learn some great things this morning.
The concept between life and death cannot simply exist without one another, where the topic is widely discussed throughout “When Breath Becomes Air” by Paul Kalanithi. This memoir explores Paul’s definition of death as he passes through the distinct “stages” of his life. As Paul progresses through each stage, he views death differently as he transformed from a student to a neurosurgeon, neurosurgeon to a patient, and eventually becoming a father, where he needed to take full responsibility as an adult.
It is evident that while Death assumes itself powerful, being “swell’st” with pride, it hath no power, visible as he states “nor yet canst thou kill me,” to cause life to cease its existence (Donne, 1610). Death is but a mere “slave,” whose ability is simply to cause one to have a “short sleep,” while awaiting entry into an eternal life (Donne, 1610). The best moment of all, is Death’s last warning, as it is told that it shall be the one to cease to go on, as with eternity “death shall be no more, death, thou shalt die” (Donne,

Together in faith, a man and women create an ultimate bond once married. In the poster, I decided to display this connection through a few images and a phrase. Specifically, I placed the large picture of a couple holding hands at the altar to signify the love a man and a woman share together in marriage. Furthermore, I chose the image of the two hearts linked together to display the bond that two individuals in love share. The cross and rings next to it symbolize a marriage in faith as love is projected to each spouse and to God. Moreover, the image of the Bible highlights the importance that readings, gospels, and psalms have in a marriage as they describe God’s meaning of love and connection. Lastly, I generated the slogan, “a love of many

God helps me meet all my needs. A great activity offered by my school, Ridgeview Middle School, is bible club. First, the bible is full of inspirational verses that are helpful to me and others. Second, bible club gives you a positive outlook on life, when you also get to socialize with motivating and positive people. Last, bible club is exciting with the joy of unexpected field trips to the Nursing Home and the excitement of helping others through a daily basis. Bible club is like a gift, only some will accept it. A relationship with God is like no other! As can be seen, bible club is not only my favorite, but others too.

Special scribbles in my Bible are ever present. Its began years ago when tiny hands grabbed a pen nearby while I wasn’t looking and drew “toddler pictures” on page after page of my brand-new Bible. I had placed Bible on the coffee table in the den, and beside it lay the ink pen which was used in the violation.
“Whether we are reading the Bible for the first time or standing in a field in Israel next to a historian and an archaeologist and a scholar, the Bible meets us where we are. That is what truth does” (Bell, 2005). The Bible is a testament of what has happened and what is happening. The Bible teaches us about our lives today through the meanings of its historical events. It is our interpretation of binding and loosing that broadens our awareness of God, allowing us to differentiate from Him and embody the image of Him.
The bible does not give a definition of God, but there are many earthly comparisons to describe what He is. In chapter 2 of our textbook, there is a good description that can apply to God in DiVincenzo
