Has anybody ever heard of Donald Trump. Okay, if so you will understand that he loves buildings. I hear he has all kinds of building projects projected. With any of his buildings (eg; trump towers) there is or has been a blueprint. Did you know that once one of his buildings is up (eg; trump towers) the blueprint has been fulfilled, completed, and it's finished. [/b]

Good morning Bradigans,
Actually the blueprint or schematics of a building never lose their importance as they indicate where the rough-in mechanical portions of the building are located when a problem or situation arises. If a water main or sewage line breaks it is good to know where the pipes are located so you do not have to tear apart the floors and other structural componants on a blind mission of hit and miss.
This holds true for HVAC (heat, vent, air conditioning) as well, it is very time and cost effective to know exactly where key componants are located to reduce consequential damage. Also an Engineer stamped blueprint is critical if the building sustains damage from a storm (very relevent here in Florida) fire or flood, the blueprint will show where load bearing walls, straps, etc. were located and their load bearing capacity.
These are just a couple reasons why bluprints although not as absolutely critical as they are during the building process never lose value, are never disposable and always valuable to the builder and/or owner of the building, especially to the builder during the Warranty period.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe
P.S. How did the move go?
Bradigans:
There's some truth to what you say, but yet and still the emphasis on any building is not on the blue print but the building. Yes, you still need the blueprint but i believe believers (especially the more mature/seasoned believers that have been grounded) main focus should be on the new Testament. Luke 16:16 - The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. The kingdom is here, man. Christ ushered it in. Galatians 3:24-25 - Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. You are indeed right and i feel you dear brother. Thank you dear brother, for i do indeed stand corrected. You just sharpened me. Proverbs 27:17 - Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. i don't what to be a Diotrophes 3 John 1:9. 1 Corinthians 12:13-14 - For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. i love you all dear brethren!! AMEN AND ALLELUIA!!!

Hi Bradford,
You made this comment.

The kingdom is now only in the beginning stage, begotten in believers.
Matt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
The kingdom is Spirit and no one can fully enter the kingdom until they are raised Spirit.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
It is not until the resurrection at Christ's appearing, that we will be like Christ, and be spirit, as He is Spirit.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like His.
1John 3:2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.
Just thought I would bring this out.
mercy, peace, and love

Dear sister Kat,
Thanks for keeping me on my toes. I guess that's what it's all about in the body of Christ according toProverbs 27:17 - Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Anyway, what do you think Jesus meant when He said in Luke 12:34 - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. What do you think He meant when He when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come. He said in Luke 17:20 - The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
i believe that where for some THE KINGDOM is still being proclaimed, for others they're either living in or on the brink of living and experiencing KINGDOM living.
Romans 14:17 - For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Where THE KINGDOM may be being proclaimed to some, others have entered in.
Hebrews 4:11 - Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
IN HIS LOVE,
Bradford
Mickyd:
One thing I'm wondering is why it's called the "Law of Moses" instead of the Law of God.
"And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. And the LORD commanded ME at that time to teach you statutes and judgments,that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it." Deu 4:12-14
Could this be what is called "commandments of men"?
All of this is confusing me as well.
Were the statutes and judgments form Moses or God?
