Yes I did, thnx. after more study & prayer I came to the conclusion that I tend to jump to conclusion because I'm so freaked out by the worlds evil today that I tend to critic every little thing. In doing so, in this case, I learned something I never knew. For that I thank you & anyone pointing out truth. Pray y'all stay warm God bless "Texsis"
Texsis and Chris no apologies necessary. In reading Psalms 105 I was thinking that God does all His holy will. In 40 and 41 He certainly could have reminded us of our sin, it was plentiful, but showed His grace and mercy instead. I did not come here to argue or be contentious and I will not condemn another's servant, I was just praising God.
Thanks Texsis. As you probably know, even the name 'Christian' was given to 'those Christ followers' by the people in Antioch ( Acts 11:26), & was intended to be used in a derogatory manner, as Gerald has pointed out in his other comments. So it wasn't a glowing affectionate name that was given at that time but it certainly became a badge worthy to be carried on their, & our, hearts & lips, with great honor.
And Paul considered himself to be an apostle ( 1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 2:1), though the sense here I think, was that he was numbered with the other apostles yet one born out of due time (i.e. the others were direct witnesses of Jesus, walked with Him & called by Him, whereas Paul's qualification was of his explicit vision & calling to be Jesus' chosen vessel). Since Paul's day, there has been no other apostle, except Barnabas & those others since, who fulfil the apostolic definition of being God's messenger to the unsaved but not of the original 12 + 1.
It may be yet didn't sound that way when I first read it tho after re-reading & reading your references, I can see he meant well & not being negative. Forgive me DJ & Chris. It was shaped like a cross and knowing Gods creation, long before any cross or tree, if you look up Laminin, is why sit bothers some. All Gods creation has purpose. He even knew who was going to give the cross its name as well as putting a name to Jesus believers & followers, "Christian". I myself prefer simply "believer" or in conversation amongst a group, rightly divided. Tho Paul wasn't one of Jesus direct Apostles, he was directly appointed by Jesus, on the road to Damascus, to teach the gentiles. Yet many include him as an apostle. In the long run if we keep our focus on Jesus & doing Gods will in our life, nothing else really matter.
Hi Texsis. I think D J Grim might be referring to Acts 5:30; Acts 10:39; Acts 13:29. And this is understood as the Cross, the stake bringing death that was once fashioned from a tree.
DJ Grim, ONLY word tree in Psalms 105: in verse 33; "He smote(struck)their vines also & their fig trees; & brake (splintered) the trees of their coasts(territory)". Absolutely Nothing about being nailed to a tree. Praise goes to Jesus for our sins that HE was nailed to said cross.! Furthermore, He, God/Jesus remembers them (our sins) no more. We ask God for forgiveness in Jesus name hence 'through HIM we are saved'. To GOD be all glory *The word cross is mentioned 28 times in new testament. Esword dictionary states: From the base of G2476; a stake or post (as set upright), that is, (specifically) a pole or cross (as an instrument of capital punishment); figuratively exposure to death, that is, self denial; by implication the atonement 'of Christ':-cross. 'The cross' is the place where all the wounds of sin are healed. If you suffer from emotional problems--guilt, anxiety, depression, anger, or whatever-there is healing in the "cross of Christ". If you are going through tragedy or suffering, there is comfort in abundance as you contemplate the sufferings of the 'spotless Savior' on your behalf. Who was standing by "the Cross of Jesus"? Many a witness that HE was nailed to "a cross" Simply put, the meaning of "the cross" is death. "The Cross" is a great contradiction. A simple upright post with a transverse bar used crucifixion. It's a symbol of death, but so much more. Death and life, hate and love, violence and peace, accusation and forgiveness, sin and purity, brokenness & wholeness, all is lost yet everything is gained, destruction & restoration, defeat and victory. Once the cruelest form of execution, *yet now it is a symbol 'of abundant life*'. The Life JESUS gave to save anyone willing to except Him for dying for their sins. God showed great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners ( Romans 5:8). I feel, it's the unbelievers way to demean Jesus death & resurrection by calling it a tree. He died4U & loves you, RESPECT HIM PLEASE.!!
Gen 7:2-3 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
That was when Noah and his family built the Ark, according to Gods instructions. He preached salvation to surrounding communities the whole time. Only 8 people were on the Ark when the rains came. Plus pairs of all creatures, from extra large to really small were saved on the Ark. Everything drank milk to live.
When the event was over, the door was opened and all the creatures dispersed over the earth again.
Later God promised never again to flood the earth. But a future day is approaching when what's written in 2 Peter 3, will happen.
It's not global warming or climate change. Be at peace. It is the earth ramping up for the end. God is going to restore earth to the garden of Eden. His perfect plan. All the scars man has made upon earth will be removed.
We will see Jesus every day. You and all those you love, can be a part of this wonder. Take His hand and don't let go. Scripture search: new heavens and new earth; New Jerusalem.
The concept of the covenant with Abraham in Genesis was to bring his descendants out of Egypt to fulfill God's promises in Genesis 15. Joseph was sold into slavery later on; and after falsely imprisoned; helped to save his own family from a plague and was highly esteemed in the Pharaoh's presence. There would be a future inheritance of the land of Canaan; as was later instructed to Moses as he was guided by God in the 40 years in the desert after God judged the Egyptians as promised after the 400 years had elapsed. This particular Psalm seems to bypass all the stubbornness of the people; particularly with the provision of the quail which God also used to judge many with a plague when the food was still in their mouths for complaining about their situation with manna and wanting to return to Egypt ( Numbers 11:31-34). Moses himself failed because of anger in the way he struck the rock as stated in verse 41 and that cost him entry into the Promised land; but again God's provision is the only thing mentioned. In all of this and the failures of many Prophets during this period; not to mention the entire original population except for Caleb and Joshua being wiped out in the desert; his original promises were fulfilled and the descendants finally came into the land of promise.
One day I was praising God and he showed me a vision. I was flying through the clouds alone. I could hear singing all around me. It was beyond the confines of the word beautiful.
The AIR was like nothing I'd ever inhaled. Clean, energizing. I took in many breaths and I heard:
"The air in heaven is FAITH."
I hope you can breathe this too. We are here now, but some day He is going to bring us to Him.
God is not amazed by our many posts. He wants us to KNOW HIM. Tell what you know. Be the kindness of Christ. Sometimes I read the gospels for any new scrap of revelation of who Jesus is. I trust the Holy Spirit to lead me to that which I seek. To open it. Yes I am on my knees in awe of Jesus and the wonder of what he showed (shows), to us if we Seek Him.
I pray we will all, not be afraid to see what is behind the mirror. 1 Corinthians 13:12
Simply "saying" hallelujah doesn't get you no closer to God than a person saying Praise God. God Judges the Heart behind everything we do. I think it's either way.
Sorry for the typo I meant Psalms 105:19 in the first comment . I heard this message from Pastor Robert Morris and I wanted to share it.
Psalms 10519
"This passage of scripture says so much about the destiny that God has for each one of us. The first " word" in that passage is translated " dabar" which means spoken word, it's found over 1400 times in scripture, the second "Word" translated
"Em-raw" which means THE SPOKEN WORD IF GOD and is translated as Torah so sometimes. It is only found 37 times in scripture. This is talking about the Bible, Gids spoken Word.
In Psalms 105:19 it says that the word, the prophetic dream, ( dabar) that God gave Joseph about his life, that Joseph hung onto and he was tested by the Word( em-raw) until the prophesy ( dabar) came to pass.
God gives us each a dream and it is to be tested by the Word of Gid( emraw) until the dream comes to pass. Everything no matter what prophetic sign is given is to be tested by the Bible ( God's Word)"

Psalms the chapter 1-7 reminds humanity the need to pay reverence to God for his goodness and to rely on him both rough and good times. Gods power can not be over emphasized in the face of calamity and as a result should rely on his strength to overcome any trouble and accommodate the good that build his kingdom. God made a covenant with Abraham to bless him and so shall man covenant with Him.
Verse 19~Joseph allowed the trial that he was going through to refine him. He grew from the struggle and this resulted in him being further blessed by Jehovah God.
O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
.... Yes, Yes,Yes, God is worthy of all Glory, Honor, and Praise;.. God also blessed 'USA' and she refuse to keep God's statues and laws. WOW!
I love how God describes this of the 12 Tribes in with Aaron of one of Moses who followed with him. When Moses led them out of Egypt to the promised land. How some from Egypt complained of God to what he gave them. They have to be punished for that and their wicked deeds and also worshipping the Ox as the people in Egypt did besides God the Father. Great Passage of Moses and his People he led.
