Up to that time the Spirit had […] http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6278 2011-11-21T04:52:34-05:00 When the Bible speaks of King David singing with his harp, or of Temple worship, what did it sound like. Probably not so different to today's synagogue cantors, minus the modern instruments and amplifiers. Listen to them here. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/1174 2010-08-09T16:18:06-05:00 Hmm. Until last Sunday, I had spent a lifetime not knowing that the Bethlehem shepherds were not just ordinary shepherds. And the lambs they raised were not just ordinary lambs. At least, the first-born males weren’t. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2025:1-40&version=NIV 2009-10-06T16:17:14-05:00 Once God had led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, He instructed Moses to construct a tabernacle--a temple that could be transported along with the Israelites in the course of their journeys. This passage details God's specifications for the tabernacle and its contents. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/estonian/A%20Temple%20Leader%20Visits%20Jesus%20Estonian.pdf 2009-10-06T11:14:09-05:00 Estonian: Jesus drives the moneychangers out of the Temple which is a house of prayer. Jesus tells Nicodemus he must be born again. Nicodemus asks how an old man can be born a second time. Jesus says that the spirit must be born from above. This happens when a person believes in Jesus. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2021:12-13&version=NIV 2009-09-30T18:20:55-05:00 When Jesus entered Jerusalem one of the things he did was go into the temple and throw out the moneychangers and those who were using it as a marketplace. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%206:19-20&version=NIV 2009-09-25T13:00:25-05:00 The ultimate argument against harming ourselves or others comes down to the Christian teaching that our bodies are spiritual temples to God, precious to Him. Damage done to our bodies is damage done to God's temple. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/a-very-expensive-house-5925 2009-09-25T09:52:50-05:00 In a sense, you drag God into everything you do with your body. It's not your body to do what you please with, to drink what you want, eat what you want, watch what you want, listen to what you want. You don't eat what you want, do what feels good with it, put poison into it, and use it for things God hates. This house was bought at a very expensive price; in fact, the highest price ever paid - the life of the sinless Son of God. And now you've invited Him to move into this house He paid for with His life. Treat your body like what it really is. It's the property of God! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%203:16&version=KJV 2009-09-24T15:18:40-05:00 Christians believe that our physical bodies are actual "temples" of God, in which His Holy Spirit dwells. When we turn our lives over to God, He sends His Spirit to live in us and direct us. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%206:12-20&version=NIV 2009-07-30T17:06:25-05:00 In a passage teaching Christians to keep their bodies pure, Paul describes the human body as God's temple. Would it make any sense to involve such a holy place through contact with a prostitute? Of course not--and so we're to keep our bodies pure.
