  Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType =     (Luke 12:1) In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Tens of thousands of people gathered, but Jesus first told his disciples the whole of chapter 12. The Bible says that in order to be saved, you must first become a disciple of Jesus. In John 8:31-32 Jesus said, "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 』 It means that believing in Jesus does not make you a disciple, but that you become a disciple only by dwelling on the words of Jesus. The way to become a disciple does not mean a life of dedicated sanctifica...

  I am apprehended of  Christ Jesus http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType =   (Philippians 3:12) 『 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of  Christ Jesus . 』 The Apostle Paul read and mastered the Old Testament from a young age, and he waited for the Messiah, but he did not know whether Jesus, who was crucified and died, was the Messiah. His inner life has become a life that seeks to kill those who believe in Jesus because he read the Bible. What he found was the law, for he awaited the Messiah in the law. He kept the law and waited for the Messiah, but he killed the Messiah. The law did that. The death on the cross is the death by the law. Many church people today say that I am breaking from the law and following the law of the Holy Spirit, but all unrepentant people are bound by the law before they come to faith as in Galat...

  Water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism   We need to know the difference between water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism. Water baptism is a ritual to enter and exit the water. This water baptism has the meaning of washing away sins first. In Acts 22:16, “ And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Therefore, the baptism that John the Baptist refers to has the meaning of washing away sins. Second, water baptism has the meaning of dying for sins. In Romans 6:2-4, “ God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death his? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. And Paul goes on to say in Romans 6:6-7, “ Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, ...

  He who believes in me will never thirst. http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType =   (John 6:39-43) And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.   And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.   The Jews then murmured at him, because he said,   I am the bread which came down from heaven.   And they said, Is not this   Jesus , the son of   Joseph , whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith,   I came down from heaven?   Jesus   therefore answered and said unto them,   Murmur not among yourselves.   Those who saw the sign and followed Jesus finally experienced a wonderful sign. They believed that Jesus was a prophet like Moses predicted in Deuteronomy 18 ...

  Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.   I am afraid of you http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType =   (Galatians 4:8-11) 『 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?   Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.   I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 』 To become a slave again means to keep the elementary education (the law of Moses). It refers to the observance of the days, months, festivals, and years of the law. Of course, it will include other things in the law. The act of keeping elementary education (the law) makes the meaning of Jesus Christ's death on the cross in vain. In Proverbs 26:11, “ As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. ” They say that t...
