Truth from the high priest

Wanda:
Hi largeli,

I'm happy to see you found peace with this. I could feel the pull it had on you, because I was going through something similar.

You had me digging my heals in for a bit, which was great really. It was  one of the most important times in the history of the world. It was our salvation unfolding,  laboring for it's  birth. I hope I never grow tired of these words.And how about those glorious prophesies. Stealth Precision.


He would not retaliate. “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth” (Isaiah 53:7).

Matthew 27:12 tells us that “while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.” Pilate, the Roman governor, also tried to get Him to answer, “but He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly” (Matthew 27:13-14

Thanks Wanda.. the conclusion I’ve come to on this issue was established before posting. I believed that God can speak truth through anyone including Christians. There’s much that God spoke to me during my time in the church. People in the church spoke things to me that I considered prophetic. After coming here to BT and being part of some very spirited discussion regarding the church, I had wondered if I should discard all the things I gained while in the church. Like I said.. I alone will be held accountable for how my spiritual house is built so I want to always test it, question it.

Ray had said or implied on many occasions that if the church teaches it, it’s probably (or definitely) false. But he also said there are many wonderful truths of God taught in the church.. and that church buildings are fine for worship if it’s in spirit.

So I wanted to retest that part of my house.

From my own experience I think Ray could be right.

Peter 2:4–8

4 As you come to him, a living stone nrejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 oyou yourselves like living stones are being built up as pa spiritual house, to be qa holy priesthood, rto offer spiritual sacrifices sacceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,

a cornerstone chosen and precious,

and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

7 So the honor is for you who vbelieve, but for those who vdo not believe,

“The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone,”1

8 and

“A stone of stumbling,

and a rock of offense.”

May God bless and keep you in his loving spirit largeli

Sorry, if i do not know how to best post something here.....
and where to be most appropriate to respond to what largeli's post is
relative to the topic "truth from the high priest"

Ok,...........the apostles have, a good number of times,
taken half an idea, a partial sentence in today's grammatical terms,
a whole sentence, part of an idea,
that was spoken in the old testament about something that was happening,
in context of the situation, of what was going on in this or that accounting of an event in the old testament
and, then,
quoted it in the new testament as though it was relevant to, referred to, described, supported,
something else in the new testament totally unrelated to how it was originally being said, describing,
about an event in the old testament.
Speaking, quoting exactly, and, even, referring to the prophet that said it when it related to the time and situation
at hand; being relevant and descriptive of the situation in the old testament............
taking, using, that quote,
from back at that time
and, now, saying that what it really meant,
the purpose for which it was truly said and written,
is the truth of what it means, now, at that time, in the new testament
as it relayed, as all do, in type and shadow,
to what was happening in the new testament;
relevant to Jesus Christ.

So, the apostles did that exact same time.

God uses anything, anyone, anytime,
to support, encourage, enlighten, and further the purpose of
what God in Christ in us.........IS.

Not only is all 'fair game' for this purpose
it is the 'true gain' of what the purpose of all that is written is.

Hope that made sense.....

martinschumacher:
We might just say, see, that all the 'why' we ask,
is as Ray liked to say, often repeatedly in anyone recorded session:
"It's always just ONE Thing", "It's One thing", "It's just one thing"
"It's all just One Thing"

To bring the purpose of God's creation of life
to be, to become, what God Wills for Life to be,
to become, for all.

with, by, for, in, through,
God's Love by Christ in us the invaluable and only true Hope we have for, in, with Life
as Family  :-) ;) :)
