Did you ever notice that there are certain Pharisees that dismiss the word of God,

often wresting or twisting it to their own destruction? For instance how could
anyone with common sense misinterpret the following verses? Acts 22:16 And now why
tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name
of the Lord. Galatians 3:26-27 For ye are all the children of God by faith in
Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on
Christ. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned. Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all
the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye
crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here
before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which
is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said
unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 1
Peter 3:21 The like figure where unto even baptism doth also now save us (not the
putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward
God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Romans 6:3-6 Know ye not, that so many
of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 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. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we
shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man
is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we
should not serve sin. Colossians 2:8-14 Beware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the
world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead
bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and
power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands,
in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith
of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in
your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with
him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of
ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the
way, nailing it to his cross. Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism. Acts
10:36, 43, 46-48 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching
peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) To him give all the prophets witness,
that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized,
which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be
baptized in the name of the Lord. Acts 19:4-5 Then said Paul, John verily baptized
with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe
on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard
this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Did you ever notice that
the word "Lord" occurs 7736 times in the bible, or in the scriptures. The word
"God" occurs 4370 times.The word "love" occurs 310 times. And there are 613
commandments. And according to many sources, of these 613, 248 are mitzvot aseh
("positive commandments") and 365 are mitzvot lo taaseh ("negative commandments").
You will notice that 365 is the number of days in a year. Did you ever notice that
most people reject Christ for one or more of the following reasons: ignorance in
Romans 1:18-23 and Matthew 22:29; pride in John 5:40-44; and finally moral
problems in John 3:19-20. God calls all unbelief sin. Romans 14:23 And he that
doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is
not of faith is sin. James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and
doeth it not, to him it is sin. Therefore that should also be our definition of
those who obey not the gospel of God. Did you ever notice that the sacrificial
system was comprised of five different offerings. These were the following. 1.)
The Burnt Offering in Levi. 6:8-13. 2.) The Grain Offering in Levi. 6:14-23. 3.)
The Fellowship Offering in Lev 7:11-36 4.) The Sin Offering in Levi. 4:1-
5:13;6:24-30;12:6-8 5.) The Guilt Offering in Levi. 5:14-6:7;7:1-6;14:12-18. Did
you ever notice that Jesus spoke 51 parables in the New Testament. Within these
tales told by Jesus we all can learn of the meaning of life, salvation, and
greatest gift of all (Which is what Jesus did for all mankind on the cross at
Calvary. See Hebrews 9:15-22, John 1:29, and Romans 5:6. For when we were yet
without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.) which is giving
oneself completely over to the word and will of God. Did you ever notice that in
Hebrew that these are the names or attributes of the one true God. Adonai/ Psalm
2:4/ Lord, Master El-Berith/ Judges 9:46/ God of the Covenant El Elyon/ Genesis
14:18-20/ Most High God El Olam/ Genesis 21:33/ The Eternal God El Shaddai/
Genesis 17:1-2/ All Powerful God Qedosh Yisra'el/ Isaiah 1:4/ The Holy One of
Israel Shapat/ Genesis 18:25/ Judge/Ruler Yahweh-jereh/ Genesis 22:14/ Yahweh
Provides Yahweh-seba'ot/ 1 Samuel 1:3/ Yahweh of Armies Yahweh-shalom/ Judges
6:24/ Yahweh is Peace Yahweh-tsidkenu/ Jeremiah 23:6/ Yahweh Our Righteousness.
Did you ever notice that time flies when your having fun? It stands seemingly
still when we are doing unpleasant tasks? Well, until the next time, God bless and
keep you is my prayer.
