God is awesome and he is in control

[@GlitterPoolParty]

God does not compare one person to another. He loves each of us infinitely.

[@Amanda-y6s3g]

People told me that when I had a closer walk with God, they told me I was not favored by God, I went out and ruined my testimony. How do they explain the rapture of Elijah, the Bible says that God Favored David. Everything that ever brought me so much joy changed...people should know their motivation before saying something, God showed me it was jealousy I finally understand that "steep a little bit," ⁰

[@GlitterPoolParty]

@@Amanda-y6s3g you are right. Nobody can say what God has planned for themselves, left alone others. The less we try to control ourself, the more we lay at the feet of Chrost, the more God's will be done. Don't ever let another creature come between you and Christ.

Amen 🙏🏼

Genesis 34:8-17 " But Hamor spoke with them, saying, " The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife. 9 Make marriage with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. 10 You shall dwell with us, and the land shall be open to you. Dwell and trade in it, and get property in it." 11 Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, " Let me find favor in your eyes and whatever you say to me I will give. 12 Ask for as great a bride price and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me. Only give me the young woman to be my wife." 13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceifully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah. 14 They said to them, " We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us. 15 Only on this condition will we agree with you- that you will become as we are by every male among you being circumcised. 16 Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will dwell with you and become one people. 17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will be gone." "( Genesis 34:8-17 ESV Study Bible.)

Matthew 21:33-46( The Parable of the Tenants) "33 " Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. 34 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenant to get his fruit. 35 And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, " They will respect my son.' 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, " This is the heir. Come, " Let us kill him and have his inheritance.' 39 And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comed, what will he do to those tenants? " 41 They said to him, " He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants (😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 😊❤😊❤ 😊❤) who will give him the fruit in their season." 42 Jesus(😊1st❤) said to them, " Have you never read in the Scriptures: " ' The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes' ? 43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people😊❤ producing its fruits. 44 And the one who falls on . this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him." 45 When the chief priests and the pharisees heard this parables, they perceived that he(Jesus😊1st❤) speaking about them. 46 And although they were seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet."( Matthew 21:33-46 ESV Study Bible) Is Jesus😊1st❤ also your cornerstone😊❤ too in Christ?

Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" 18 But Jesus(😊 1st❤) aware of their malice, said, " Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax." And they brought him a denarius.( a word-study Later on " denarius" beside knowning a Roman coin day's wage back at Jesus' time. Now in Matthew 22:29, ( any coin collectors out there? In the past, i used to buy special but cheap- coins or inexpensive coins from different places I do not go there anymore, so what my ESV Study Bible, said make sense for i used to collected different currency of American - coins, other coins as one my hobbies in the past and American old stamps too which i purchased by God's grace His given job to me on my own salary paid in Christ in the past and gave many away to those stamps to bankers who like to collect old- stamps around the world but mainly American old stamps and some are bilingual coins ( again past that no longer collecting them, just for fun and learning new things from coin and supporting one the coins- shop from that old man. It is rare for him that old but selling different coins around the world.

On the opposite side was a picture of the Roman goddness of peace, pax, with the Latin inscripture " High Priest" " ( quoted from my on hand ESV Study Bible with that Romans silver Denarius" coin knowledge in mind in Christ and go to the next verse in Matthew 22:20-22 "20 And Jesus(😊 1st❤) to them" Who likeness and inscription is this?

" " ( Matthew 22:21 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) It will be nice have Sunday School teachers to get a denarius coin in person to teach younger ones( children) in Christ on the lesson on Matthew 22:15-22(paying Taxes to Caesar) and in near where I live now there only a few coin shops and that old man speak both English/ Cantonese and His children I also gave his grandchilren healthy candies when I got permission from their grandparents / the children' parents' permission first, their children are Asian- American and it 's good to kind to people whether people see you or not, but I think God sees us that all it matters in Christ. Why do we buys coins and stamps and give it others for free. The smiles from others' face like this(😊❤) is the best return without string attached at all. We in Christ are attached to unreserve- God and trust in Jesus(😊1st❤) our Lord and our savior in Christ for Jesus(😊1st❤) bind followers of Christ and Christians together in Christ and Ephesians 4:1-16( Unity in the body of Christ(Jesus😊1st❤) love it in Christ and we are binded by Jesus(😊1st❤) connect us together and connect us to God who enable us to give to others beyond our own understanding without reserve and also be smart in loving in Christ too. Ephesians 2:8(😊❤). God gave us His Son ( Jesus😊1st❤)and Jesus paid in full on the cross and came back to give us his( Jesus' ) resurrection of hope in Jesus(😊1st❤) for Jesus(😊1st❤) gave us his life so what can we not also give to others today? At the same set good boundaries in Christ and also give to others ( we might not know well) Seen or unseen in Christ. Anyways, What do you think using a denarius coin as one of the props in helping in teaching in Christ to children in Matthew 22:15-22( Paying taxes to Caesar) like Jesus said, "... Give to Caesar what is Caesar's , and to God what is God's." "( Matthew 22:21b Zondervan NIV Study Bible) if can't get real one then try a legal replica coin for teaching and learning purposes. Just when Jesus washed His disciples ' feet we used to use a bucket and some dry towel( s) too in Christ This meant for those in Christ. Thank God for God's words❤😊 in Christ😊❤. May Jesus ' love❤ be to all in all and whoever trusts in him( Jesus😊1st❤) too. In Jesus'name, i pray(John 14:6😊❤). Amen.

We in Christ are attached to unreserve- God and trust in Jesus(😊1st❤) our Lord and our savior in Christ for Jesus(😊1st❤) bind followers of Christ and Christians together in Christ and Ephesians 4:1-16( Unity in the body of Christ(Jesus😊1st❤) love it in Christ and we are binded by Jesus(😊1st❤) connect us together and connect us to God who enable us to give to others beyond our own understanding without reserve and also be smart in loving in Christ too. Ephesians 2:8(😊❤). God gave us His Son ( Jesus😊1st❤)and Jesus paid in full on the cross and came back to give us his( Jesus' ) resurrection of hope in Jesus(😊1st❤) for Jesus(😊1st❤) gave us his life so what can we not also give to others today? At the same set good boundaries in Christ and also give to others ( we might not know well) Seen or unseen in Christ. Anyways, What do you think using a denarius coin as one of the props in helping in teaching in Christ to children in Matthew 22:15-22( Paying taxes to Caesar) like Jesus said, "... Give to Caesar what is Caesar's , and to God what is God's." "( Matthew 22:21b Zondervan NIV Study Bible) if can't get real one then try a legal replica coin for teaching and learning purposes. Just when Jesus washed His disciples ' feet we used to use a bucket and some dry towel( s) too in Christ This meant for those in Christ. Thank God for God's words❤😊 in Christ😊❤. May Jesus ' love❤ be to all in all and whoever trusts in him( Jesus😊1st❤) too. In Jesus'name, i pray(John 14:6😊❤). Amen. God 😊100%❤always outgive me in Christ ❤ too in Christ😊❤.

Genesis 34:25-31 "25 On the third day, when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, " Dinah's brothers, took their sword and came against the city while it felt secure and killed all the males. 26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword and took Dinah out Shechem's house and went away. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister. 28 They took their flocks and their herds, as their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field. 29 All their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses, they captured and plundered. 30 Then Jacob(❤) said to Simeon and Levi, " You have brought trouble on me by making me stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. My numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household." 31 But they said, " Should he treat our sister like a prostitute? " "( Genesis 34:25-31 ESV Study Bible. That is that in Christ) Speaking of of the word, " Prostitute? " It reminds me about what Jesus said in Matthew 21:31 Under the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21:28-32( The Parable of the two sons) Matthew 21:31 "31 Which of the two did the will of his father? " They said, " The first," Jesus(😊 1st❤) said to them, " Truly(😊 ❤), I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom (😊❤) of God(😊 100%❤) before you."( Matthew 21:31 ESV Study Bible) Keep listening or reading in Christ Matthew 21:32 "32 For John(John the Baptist😊❤ )came to you in the way of rightousness(😊❤), and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believes him(😊 ❤) . And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him."( Matthew 21:32 ESV Study Bible)

More update version in Christ for part 1. Part 1 in Christ❤. Pause in Christ in Matthew 22:23a of Matthew 22:23-32( Sadducees ask about the Resurrection) also share Matthew 22:23-24 too at the end here in Christ Matthew 22:23( a) "23(a) The same day Sadducees ... "( Matthew 22:23a ESV Study Bible)( the word, " Sadducees " how about we will word- study on this in Christ. The word " Sadducees" which they appeared in Matthew 3:7 remember? "7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism,..."( Matthew 3:7a ESV ESV Study Bible ( Do remember Paul the Apostle of Christ Jesus was also once a pharisee too before by God's grace( Ephesians 2:8 ) and Jesus' grace( 2 Corinthians 12:9), he saw Jesus himself in Acts 9:1-19( The Conversion of Saul) or Acts 9:1-19( Saul's conversion)and Acts 9:12b-31(Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem) and was transformed by Jesus (😊1st❤ ) our Lord too totally different in Christ and for Christ in NT in Christ. anyway the word " "Sadducce" "They are a small group who derived their authority from activities of the temple. They were removed from the common people by Aristocratic and priestly influence as well as by their cooperation with Rome's rule( in Jesus' time). "( ESV Study Bible) From my ESV Study Bible on hands in Christ, it mentioned Jewish groups at the time of New Testament. There were : The Sudducees, the Essenes, the Pharisees today we will study on " The Sadducees" only my Bible said, "Sadducees" " The Sadducees, including the high priest Caiaphas ( A.D.18-36), were primary of wealthy, priestly families in Jerusalem. Josephus9 claim they were unfriendly- even to one another- and were unpopular( Jewish war 2.166; Jewish Antiquittes 13.298). They could be cruel judges( Joseophus, Jewish Antiquities 20.199; Mishnah, Sanhedrin 7.2; Makkot 1.6). When Jesus disrupted their financial interests in the temple, he was arrested and condemned( Mark 11:15-19; 14:53-63). James, the brother of the Lord, was later killed by a Sadducean high priest( Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 20.200). The Sadducees rejected the extrabiblical traditions of the pharisees, perhaps embracing only the Pentateuch as canonical( Josephus, Jewish Antiquitites 13.297; 18.16). This narrow canon may explain why they( The Sadducees) did not in the general resurrection of the dead(Mark 12:18; Act 4:1-2; 23:6-8), since it is not explicitly mentioned in the Pentateuch."( ESV Study Bible. ) So far we know that The Sadducees do not in Resurrectiok of the dead but the Pharisees i trust God they do believe in the resurrection of the dead so it make sense for Paul in the Bible in Christ more prone to trust in Jesus 😊1st❤ as his Lord(Jesus😊1st❤) and as his savior(Jesus😊1st❤). If Paul in the Bible was a Sadducees ( which not truth) and not a Pharisee then i think it will hardly for Paul to trust in Jesus' resurrection but since priaise God for chosen Paul born in a pharisee home and as a Roman citizen too.and Pharisees believe in the resurrection of the dead so when Jesus resurrection from the dead after he was innocent nailed on the cross, died, buried, and three days later more than 2000 years ago, Jesus has risen or resurrected make perfect sense to Paul naturally in Christ. Anyways, we will hopefully words- study on "The Pharisees" in the future but meanwhile resume back to words study on " The Sadducees" again ".... they( The Sadducees) did not in the general resurrection of the dead(Mark 12:18; Act 4:1-2; 23:6-8), since it is not explicitly mentioned in the Pentateuch. Perhaps for the same reason, ( now pay attention in Christ) they( The Sadducees) embraces humanly responsibility, which is the emphasized in the Law of Moses( for example( e.g.) Genesis 4:7; Deuteronomy 30:19-20), in constrast to the determinism of the Essene( Josephus, Jewish War 2.164; Jewish Antiquities 13:173). Jesus when arguing for the resurrection:) ( Mark 12:18-27), ( will it later again), meet the Sadducees on their own ground by showing the implication of Exodus 3:6 instead of appealing to a more straightforward passage ( e.g Daniel 12:2 "2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting comtempt."( Daniel 12:12 ESV Study Bible) Now we know that "The Sadducees do not believe in the Resurrection of the dead and they do not believe in an afterlife too. But the Pharisees ( again Paul by God's grace and His mercy in Christ, encounted Jesus Paul was( past tense) once a pharisee but Paul( former Pharisee before Jesus revealed himself to him by His grace( 2 Corinthians 12:9:) ) So now we also indirectly in Christ that Pharisees do believe in the resurrection of the dead. To me, I thank God for that Jesus' resurrection( Luke 24:1-12( The Resurrection) and Matthew 28:1-10( The Resurrection ) of Jesus our Lord(Jesus😊1st❤) and our savior ( Jesus😊1st❤) in Christ. Also Thank God for Pharisees also believe in an afterlife. We in Christ trust in Jesus(😊1st❤) will eternal life by faith ( trust) in Jesus(😊1st❤) in Christ I think the Bible also stresses that the Pharisees also believed in the realm of the spirit. I8o praise God for the Holy Spirit😊❤ ( our helper😊❤ in Christ😊❤)and Pharisee believes in angels. I thank God for there are good angels in heaven in Christ ans I thank God for Paul the apostle of Christ Jesus(😊1st❤) from a pharisee to a chief of sinners and later He was inspired by Jesus😊1st❤ or By the good God of Bible in Christ Again i quoted what Jesus said, in John 10:30 " I and Father( God😊100%❤, our Father in heaven) are one."( John 10:30 ESV Study Bible) Thank God for the Pharisees also believes in the realm of the spirit and angels. I thank God for there is the Holy Spirit( our helper😊❤ in Christ😊❤) and there are good angels in heavens in Christ too in Christ. Besides the Bible talked about Matthew 22:23-32( Sudducees ask about Resurrection), in the book of gospel of Mark too , it also said, Mark 12:18-27( The Sadducees ask about the Resurrection) hopefully get back to it in the future with different angles in listening or seeing or reading Scriptures in Christ. So help me God. In Jesus'name, i pray( resume back to Matthew 22:23-32( Sudducees ask about Resurrection) and hopefully Mark 12:18-27( The Sadducees ask about the Resurrection) too but need to go back to Matthew 22:23-24) Amen. Now back to Matthew 22:23-24 "22 The same day Sadducees came to him(Jesus😊1st❤), who say there is no resurrection, and they ask him( our Lord and our savior Jesus😊1st❤ ) a question, 24 saying, " Teacher, Moses said, " If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.' "( Matthew 22:23-24 ESV Study Bible) In Matthew 22:23 b "... they( Sadducees) asked him( Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ ) a question "( Matthew 22:23b ESV Study Bible) My ESV Study Bible said, " In order to trap him( Jesus our savior in Christ) theologically. They assumed that thoss who believe in a resurrection( which they do not believe in resurrection from Matthew 22:22b "... there is no resurrection..." they said in Matthew 22:23b) life think it is like the present life, suggesting that a woman who has been married more than once will be found guilty of incest after resurrection. They hope hereby to show that the idea of resurrection is really absurd "( ESV Study Bible) We in Christ today do trust Jesus and in His resurrection in Christ from Matthew 28:7😊❤ , Matthew😊❤ 28:1-10( The Resurrection😊❤ );Mark😊❤ 16:1-8( The Resurrection😊❤); Luke😊❤ 24:1-12( The Resurrection) and John😊❤ 20:1-10(The Resurrection😊❤)

Mark 12:18-27(The Sadducees ask about the Resurrection) "18 And Sadducees came to him (Jesus😊1st❤), who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, 19 " Teacher, Moses wrote for us if a man's brother dies and leave a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring. 21 And the second took him, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. 22 And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife." 24 Jesus(😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ) said to them ( Sadducees), " Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they( those 7 brothers and that woman Jesus referred to) neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels(😊❤) in heaven😊❤. "( ESV Study Bible. So Jesus 😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior(Jesus😊1st❤) basically said there is no marriage in heaven. But there are angels in heaven. Now back to( Mark 12:26-27) " 26 And as for the dead being raised, ( Jesus gave them a question( ?) in Mark 12:26 and fact statement(s) in Christ in Mark 12:27 Mark 12:26-27 again In Christ. "26 And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses(😊❤), in the passage about the bush, how God(😊100%❤) spoke to him( Mose😊❤), saying, " I am the God(😊100%❤) of Abraham😊❤, and the God(😊100%❤) of Isaac😊❤, and the God(😊100%❤) of Jacob' ( or Israel's😊❤) ? "( Mark 12: 26 ESV Study Bible, Do you also see Jesus' question answer in Mark 12:26? ) Mark 12:27 ( a fact statement from Jesus our Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and our savior(Jesus😊1st❤) in Christ. What did Jesus said in Mark 12:27 that make it a fact statement(s) in Christ? Mark 12:27 ( Jesus😊1st❤ said.)

Hello I do have a question, my preacher in the church is telling us that we should be celebrating the Resurrection Day on the 17th of April because it's mentioned in the Bible that on the 14th of April Jesus asked Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat, because this is the date that God told the Jews to keep the Passover in. Is this correct because I'm kind of confused/ unsure if I should be doing this? Thanks in advance!
