April 20, 2017<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Sometimes it can seem\na bit monotonous when you stay with a subject for a prolonged time, so I\nfigured I would change the pace a bit today and likely next week.\u00a0 <\/span>We still have quite a distance to go, and a\nlot of revelation to explore in the Psalm 23 Adventure, so let\u2019s take a break\ntoday and talk about something totally unrelated.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Anyway, Great day in\nthe mornin<\/span>\u2019, y\u2019all!\u00a0\n<\/span>TGIF, right?\u00a0 <\/span>Nahhh<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>Fridays are about as busy as any other day of\nthe week \u2013 and just as enjoyable.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Anyway, even though\nI\u2019ve got my cup of coffee ready for this morning\u2019s discussion, Della\u2019s in the\nkitchen brewing up some kind of combo of black and green teas that she likes to\ntake to the office.\u00a0 <\/span>Not too bad,\nactually.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Got your cup poured,\nyet?\u00a0 <\/span>Pull up a chair, and let\u2019s get this\nday under way.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Can\u2019t tell you how many times I\u2019ve gotten\nsucked into these discussions throughout the past few years where folks insist\nthat the Bible is full of contradictions.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Some friends sent me a letter some time\nback and talked about a relative who was totally focused on writing a book\ndealing with Biblical contradictions.\u00a0 <\/span>I\nmade myself a bunch of notes on the topic, and I\u2019ve added to that list over the\npast few years.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Let me begin by addressing two recently\ncited by a young fellow from 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles.\u00a0 <\/span>I must admit that the one concerning Ahaziah<\/span> had escaped me until just recently.\u00a0 <\/span>I was familiar with the one concerning Jehoiachin<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>Both of\nthese are quite simple, however.\u00a0 <\/span>You are\ndealing with a translator\u2019s clerical error.\u00a0\n<\/span>In re-reading the actual Hebrew text, both references to Jehoiachin<\/span> ascribe him 18 years.\u00a0 <\/span>Both references to Ahaziah<\/span>\nmention that he was 2 and 20 years of age.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Somehow, the translators have picked up the\nHebrew letters \u201csin\u201d and \u201cshin\u201d \u2013 which have different numerical values \u2013 and\ntransposed their usage numerically.\u00a0 <\/span>The\ntwo letters \u201csin\u201d and \u201cshin\u201d look nearly identical to each other.\u00a0 <\/span>The difference is that \u201cshin\u201d has a Hebrew\nbreathing mark which distinguishes it apart from \u201csin\u201d and is easily\noverlooked.\u00a0 <\/span>In all other aspects, the\ntwo letters are identical.\u00a0 <\/span>The breathing\nmark in \u201cshin\u201d changes it numerical value, however, from \u201csin\u201d, and this is\nwhere the error occurred in translation.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The references to Jesus\u2019 lineage in Matthew\nand Luke are simple, and easily explainable.\u00a0\n<\/span>Ancient Jewish tradition does not allow for women\u2019s lineage to be traced\nas the lineage of a man.\u00a0 <\/span>In order to deal\nwith unusual cases such as that of Mary, (or Esther, for example), the historians\nchose to track the lineage, citing the husband instead of the wife.\u00a0 <\/span>Because Joseph was Mary\u2019s husband, they could\nlegally use her lineage as part of his lineage.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

My young friend missed out on the fact here\nthat these are two distinctly different lines of inheritance traceable to\nDavid.\u00a0 <\/span>Matthew\u2019s lineage is that of\nJoseph, whose lineage was traced to Solomon, the son of David.\u00a0 <\/span>Luke\u2019s lineage is actually that of Mary (and you\nwill note that he says that Jesus \u201cas was supposed\u201d (was) \u201cthe son of Joseph,\nwhich was the son of Heli<\/span>,\u201d etc.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

While not true, perhaps, by birth, Joseph\nWAS the son of Heli<\/span> by marriage to Mary.\u00a0 <\/span>Jewish law and tradition made Joseph legally\n\u201cthe son of Heli<\/span>.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/span>Here, Mary\u2019s lineage is traced to Nathan, the son of David \u2013 not Solomon.\u00a0 <\/span>Here is a case where the Holy Spirit has\nclearly demonstrated that Jesus, by virtue of dual and precisely traceable\nlines of inheritance, was \u201cthe son of David,\u201d in fulfillment of God\u2019s promise\nto David.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Jesus\u2019 divine birth was implanted by the\nHoly Spirit, and thus he was not genetically the son of David through\nJoseph.\u00a0 <\/span>However, Mary WAS of the lineage\nand house of David, and the fact that she bore Jesus made him legitimately \u201cthe\nson of David.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>It is an extraordinary\ndemonstration of the fulfillment of prophecy, both legally and genetically, and\nspiritually.\u00a0 <\/span>The two lines of\ninheritance have always intrigued me.\u00a0\n<\/span>Folks frequently don\u2019t follow this one through far enough to see what\nthe Lord was doing.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

When people do not know the Lord, and don\u2019t\nunderstand Jewish tradition along with Hebrew and Greek metaphors, they\nfrequently fall into the trap of making fools out of themselves when they\nattempt to cite supposed contradictions.\u00a0\n<\/span>There are none in Scripture \u2013 ANYWHERE!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

There are many apparent contradictions, but\nnone that is not easily understood once you know Jewish tradition and\/or\nunderstand the hidden meanings in metaphors.\u00a0\n<\/span>Likewise, if one attempts to use an English translation instead of the\noriginal text, and then proclaim that he has found contradictions, he will make\nhimself out to be foolish and ignorant.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Now, let me really mess with you!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

There is an aspect of God\u2019s word that IS<\/b> contradictory on purpose!\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>God has chosen deliberately to confound the\nwisdom of this world with simple truths that are often obscured by religion and\nreligious tradition, and are contradictory at first sight.\u00a0 <\/span>But let me explain how and why He does this.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

We have contradictory truths that are\nabsolute in our society today.\u00a0 <\/span>Let me\nillustrate.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

\u201cLook before you leap.\u201d \u00a0<\/span>\u201cHe who hesitates is lost.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Are they both true?\u00a0 <\/span>Of course.\u00a0\n<\/span>Are they contradictory?\u00a0\n<\/span>Certainly.\u00a0 <\/span>What makes them work,\nthen?\u00a0 <\/span>It is the element of time.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

There is a time to be cautious and look\nbefore you leap.\u00a0 <\/span>If you are on the run\nfor your life, however, and someone is hot on your heals with a gun, then \u201cHe\nwho hesitates is lost.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>That principle\nis true in God\u2019s economy.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The concept of \u201ctime\u201d in relationship with\nthe Lord is all too often overlooked within the Body of Christ today.\u00a0 <\/span>We have doctrines built certain scriptures by\none group, and doctrines which conflict with those doctrines built on opposing\nscriptures by other groups, and \u201cne'er the twain shall meet.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Here\nare a couple of good illustrations:\u00a0 <\/span>On\none side is what some doctrinarians like to call \u201ceternal security\u201d (John\n10:27-29) and it reads like this:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow\nme:\u00a0 <\/span>And I give unto them eternal life;\nand they shall never perish, neither shall any man<\/i> pluck them out of my\nhand. \u00a0<\/span>My Father, which gave them<\/i>\nme, is greater than all; and no man<\/i> is able to pluck them<\/i> out of\nmy Father\u2019s hand.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

What\nseems to be a totally opposite side of this picture is seen in Hebrews 6:4-6,\nand it reads like this:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

For it is<\/i> impossible for those who were once enlightened,\nand have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy\nGhost,\u00a0 <\/span>And have tasted the good word of\nGod, and the powers of the world to come,\u00a0\n<\/span>If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing\nthey crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him<\/i> to an open\nshame.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

How\ndo we resolve what seems to be a total contradiction in this instance?\u00a0 <\/span>OK, let me take you back to the very\nbeginning of the Psalm 23 Adventure.\u00a0\n<\/span>What\u2019s the very first part of it?<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The LORD is my Shepherd<\/span>.\u00a0\n<\/span>That\u2019s not some passive comment or some kind of general statement!\u00a0 <\/span>That is a vow!\u00a0 <\/span>It is total commitment to the Lord Jesus\nChrist as our Shepherd.\u00a0 <\/span>No ifs ands or\nbuts!\u00a0 <\/span>This isn\u2019t a situation where one\nkneels down at some altar bench and prays the prayer of Salvation, and then\ngets up and continues life, pretty much as usual.\u00a0 <\/span>When you begin to see the developments that\nfollow and the requirements that take place in your daily walk resulting in\nreal spiritual growth, you begin to get a grasp on the statement that Jesus\nmakes when He says, <\/span>\u201cMy sheep KNOW my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.\u201d<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

There\nis nothing passive or casual about that!\u00a0\n<\/span>Hence, those people who walk in that kind of commitment with the Lord\nJesus Christ legitimately have eternal security.\u00a0 <\/span>Their relationship is locked in with the\nLord, and no matter what happens, their future in eternity is secure.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Now,\ncontrast that with what Paul writes to the Hebrews when he says that it is\nimpossible for those who have <\/span>\u201cbeen enlightened\u201d \u2026.. \u201cif they\nshall fall away\u201d<\/span> <\/span>(that\ntranslation from the Greek misses it) <\/span>\u2026.. \u201cto renew them\nagain unto repentance.\u201d<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Because\nof what Paul is trying to communicate to the believers in this instance, it\nbecomes important for us to see this Greek word, <\/span>parapipto<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span>, in its full\npicture.\u00a0 <\/span>While the translation, \u201cto fall\naway,\u201d is acceptable, it would be better translated, \u201cto apostasize<\/span>,\u201d\nor perhaps, \u201cto deliberately walk away,\u201d or even, \u201cto deviate from the truth.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

So,\nwhat is it they are deliberately walking away from?\u00a0 <\/span>Paul lays it out quite succinctly: (1) those\nwho were once enlightened (or actually received real revelation of the Lord\nJesus Christ, Who He is, what He is, and what He has done for them); (2) tasted\n(literally, eaten) the good (nutritious and life-giving) Word and experienced\nfirst-hand that Word and His power in their life; (3) and the powers of the\nworld to come.\u00a0 <\/span>(Now, there\u2019s one for\nyou!)<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The\nfirst two are pretty self-explanatory, but \u201cthe powers of the world to come,\u201d\ntakes us into a dimension of God that gets lost in this translation.\u00a0 <\/span>The Greek word, <\/span>aion<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span>, is almost always\ntranslated \u201ceternity,\u201d or perhaps, \u201cforever.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/span>In any case, Paul is not making reference to \u201cthe world to come,\u201d or\n\u201cthe new heavens and the new earth.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>He\nis expressing the powers, the gifts, the realm of the supernatural that is\navailable NOW to those who walk in the Spirit.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

My\ngood friend and brother in the Lord, Bruce Allen, actively teaches on\nsupernatural transportation (some call it, \u201ctrans-relocation\u201d) and being in two\nplaces at the same time (something he has personally experienced).\u00a0 <\/span>His book, Gazing into Glory, is one that\nevery believer ought to read \u2013 especially those who want to begin walking in\n\u201cthe powers of the world to come.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Now\nyou begin to get a grasp on what Paul is saying, and why this in no way\ncontradicts what Jesus said.\u00a0 <\/span>What Paul\nis describing is those who have walked with the Lord in an intimate\nrelationship, experienced first-hand for themselves the Word at work in their\nlives, walked in the realm of the supernatural, and then deliberately turned\naside or walked away from that realm of intimacy with the Lord.\u00a0 <\/span>There\u2019s no way a person who does that has any\nclaim to \u201ceternal security\u201d with the Lord Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>As Paul puts it, <\/span>\u201cThey\ncrucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame.\u201d<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

OK, I\ntook more time with that one than intended, but let\u2019s continue.\u00a0 <\/span>In another instance we have \u201cspeaking in\ntongues\u201d (I Corinthians 14:5) for those who espouse the idea of everyone<\/u>\nspeaking in tongues; on the other hand, we have -- in the very same epistle,\nand the very next verse -- not<\/u> everyone speaking in tongues.\u00a0 <\/span>Paul makes it clear that his desire is for\neveryone to speak in tongues.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

As I\nnoted in the part of the discussion on the Psalm 23 Adventure where we talked\nabout \u201cHe leadeth<\/span> me beside the still waters,\u201d this\nrealm of the supernatural is a place and an opportunity that we are led to, but\nnot compelled.\u00a0 <\/span>This is a place open and\navailable to every single believer \u2013 and a mandatory place if we are going to\nmove on into the realm of the supernatural that the Lord has for us \u2013 but it is\na dangerous place for those who think they are going to just play with it.\u00a0 <\/span>When a person chooses and pursues the\ninfilling or the baptism of the Holy Spirit with their whole being, Holy Spirit\nawaits them and opens up doors into the supernatural that are not accessible\nany other way.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

There\nare more examples I can cite that would make this Coffee Break turn into a\ntreatise \u2013 or a verrrry<\/span> loooong<\/span>\nread for one day, so let\u2019s abbreviate this one for today and I\u2019ll finish this\ndiscussion next week.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Two\nweeks from now, we will get back to the Psalm 23 Adventure as we pick up with\nthe comfort of the Staff.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

See\nyou next week.<\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

I remind those of you\nin need of ministry that our Healing Prayer Call normally takes place on the\nfirst Monday of each month at 7:00 PM Eastern (4:00 PM Pacific). \u00a0<\/span>Our call-in number is <\/span><\/b>(712) 775-7035.\u00a0\n<\/span><\/span><\/b>The Access Code is: <\/span><\/b>323859#.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0 <\/span>For Canadians who have\ndifficulty getting in to this number, you can call <\/span><\/b>(559) 546-1400<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>If someone answers and asks what your original\ncall-in number was, you can give them the 712 number and access code.<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

At the same time, in\ncase you are missing out on real fellowship in an environment of Ekklesia<\/span>, our Sunday worship gatherings are available by\nconference call \u2013 usually at about 10:45AM Pacific.\u00a0 <\/span>That conference number is <\/span><\/b>(712) 770-4160<\/span><\/b>, and the access code is <\/span><\/b>308640#.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0 <\/span>We hope to make these\ngatherings available by Skype or Talk Fusion before long.\u00a0 <\/span>If you miss the live call, you can dial <\/span><\/b>(712) 770-4169<\/span><\/b>, enter the same access code and listen in\nlater.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Blessings\non you!<\/o:p><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n
