Did You Ever Notice That...

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. 4:15:13;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.
