1rst century Jewish Historian Flavius Josephus said of Jephthah "But as he came back, he fell into a calamity no way correspondent to the great actions he had done; for it was his daughter that came to meet him; she was his only child and a virgin. Upon this Jephthah heavily lamented the greatness of his affliction, and blamed his daughter for being so forward in meeting him, for he had vowed to sacrifice her to God. However, this action that was to befall her did not embitter her, since she should die on occasion of her father's victory, and the liberty of her fellow citizens. She only desired her father to give her leave for two months, to bewail her youth with her fellow citizens.” Josephus continued, “Accordingly, when that time was over, he sacrificed his daughter as a burnt offering. An offering that was neither conformable to the law, nor acceptable to God, not weighing with himself what opinions the hearers would have of such a practice." So while I am betwixt between the two arguments, I lean more towards that Jephthah sacrificed his daughter. (Flavius Josephus, Book of Antiquities, book 5, Chapter 7, verse 10) If we take note, Josephus said that it was unacceptable to God and was against the law. The themed verse in judges is that “everyone did what was right in their own eyes,” Judges 17:6 & 21:25. All through judges we are told of horrific events and terrible fates, lives in ruins and chaotic disorder because they did not do the things that God had called right and commanded them to do. We also know that in judges, as these two have agreed upon, the Israelites were being greatly influenced by the pagan worshipers and pagan cultures that surrounded them.
Whoa!! Suddenly at minute 14 I realized this message is "reformed" in nature, Calvinistic, calvinism at the heart... You ignore the fact that Paul spoke to the woman. What exactly do you think he spoke to them about, verse 13? He obviously shared the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection, that FAITH in Him alone and in His sacrifice is the ONLY means by which we are saved.
The bible is clear... Jephtah made a vow that he'd sacrifice whatever comes out. Then the bible says he did with her according to his vow. We already saw what his vow was, it was not a vow for her to remain a virgin.
@@lindabaxter9674 he hated child sacrifice so much, he used tht as a test for Abraham, allowed Jephtah to sacrifice his daughter and gave his son as the ultimate human sacrifice.
i believe she is right, guy is wrong. you have to ask yourself this: what if his neighbor walked into the door. what's he going to do, offer him as a devoted servant at the temple? what if an animal comes through? he's going to force the chicken to be a servant of god all its life? i believe he really did offer her up as a sacrifice. and the woman on the left is spot on: back in those days everyone did as they desired and they were influenced by the evil pagans around them. in those days they cared A LOT about marriage and lineage. the daughter talking about not getting married reflect that. the daughter is not implying that she is sad that she will live, just as a nun. again, the woman on the left is correct.
Hello Jesus is the Messiah The Son of God The Son of David The Son of man The man God has chosen to be his anointed king The man God will judge the world through The man God raised from the dead Jesus has a God There is no triune god in scripture Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
“Whatever Sammy sees and wants he takes” reminds me of story of Achan in Joshua he said “I saw I covet and I took” What’s crazy is that Samson judged Israel for 20 years and did more in his weakened more humble state fully aware of his reliance on God than in his pride as a judge!
Samon had learned to follow God's Spirit above The Law.(the letter of The Law kills. No one can keep it) All The Saints learn That Freedom in God. David ate The Show Bread; Jesus worked on The Sabbath; Joseph was Not going to hurt Marry; The Law is Not for A Righteous person. Though there is A Penalty for Breaking The Law. David numbered Israel. God sought occasion against Israel with Samon+David
Jesus didn’t necessarily die for us, they killed him so what choice did he have. I’m wondering what makes him different from any other man that teach the gospel and is obedient. Besides the magical stuff they claim he did.
Hey! If Jesus didn’t want to die He didn’t have to. Because that time when they came to arrest Him when He was in the garden of gethsemane, He went before God in prayer asking God to let this cup pass from Him… but let Your(God) will be done. So part of Him didn’t want to go through that kind of suffering but He was being obedient to God. And when they came to arrest Jesus, one of His disciples cut off one of the soldiers ear. And Jesus’ response to that was quite unusual but good… showing you that He could’ve escaped but He didn’t because He HAD to die for our sins in order for us to have a chance at eternal living with God the Father if we believe in our hearts and confess with our tongues that Jesus Christ is Lord and God raised Him from the dead. I’ll leave the scripture here for you to read it. When reading, ask God for wisdom and understanding and clarity. “At that moment one of those with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword. He struck the high priest’s slave and cut off his ear. Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place because all who take up a sword will perish by a sword. Or do you think that I cannot call on My Father, and He will provide Me at once with more than 12 legions of angels? How, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way? ”” Matthew 26:51-54 HCSB bible.com/bible/72/mat.26.51-54.HCSB Read the full chapter, It’s a really good read.
what choice did he have? he was superior to us in every way trust me he willfully submitted and even admitted he was the son of god something he didnt have to do , and thats what got him sentenced.
Heyyyy !! Was the name of the masiah ...Jesus ... when he was tempted by Satan ??? I don't think so !!! But u can check it out your self .. so y change the name which the heavenly father give him. ??? I do wonder! !?? Is there a reason. .. I do think so ..no ..I do Know so.. do you? ?
Great sermon. My daughter's name is Anna. I don't have any Anna's in my family but I just knew that was meant to be her name. I believe God named my daughter (well). I can't wait to share this message with her. Thank you for this message. God bless you.
"Hope" in the Bible is an absolute, Jesus, our blessed "Hope"! .... A certainty.... (Titus 2:13, etc.) Conversely, the world's understanding of "hope" is more "wishful thinking".... I "hope" this passes soon, I "hope" the weather gets better.... etc.... very different than Biblical hope..... unfortunately many Christians and Pastor's do not make the distinction and often equate the two as the same.... they are not. Biblical "hope" is not a "thing" we wishfully cling to.... Biblical "Hope" is the Savior we confidently abide in....
Father God, I feel there is an assignment against my life to slowly kill my joy, my blessings, my progress, my character and sickening and defiling my person. I feel personally assaulted by a group of demon possessed people, whereby I bind every assault on my life in accordance with esther 7, it has to stop now and forever, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
I had a dream about the need to know who Lydia was in the Scriptures, as I have a caring burden for a special someone. I found your teaching and it is exactly what I need to pass on. Thank you and God' bless you and all who are encouraged by it, in Jesus' name, Amen!
GENESIS 4:1 (exhaustive) And Adam knew Hava his wife, who had desired the angel; and she conceived, and bare Kain; and she said, I have acquired a man, the angel of the Lord. And she added to bear from her husband Adam his twin, even Habel (Abel). TARGUM (exhaustive) who had desired the angel; and she conceived, and bear Kain; And she added to bear from her husband Adam his twin, even Habel (Abel). Genesis 3:14-15 The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals;upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Fruit is the Hebrew word pirchach,, meaning progeny, brood, children or descendants. Genesis 3:3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
Good morning Randy, We'd love to put you on our prayer list. You can email us at info@grotonbiblechapel.org if you'd like to provide more specific information.
We're gonna see the way God Chose someone who also felt very ordinary to participate something extraordinary simply by being willing, by being obidient and responsive . Lydia believe was an asiam woman whom . Awalnya itu dia mau membangun gerejanya di asia kecil tapi Tuhan panggil dia ke arah eropa trpatnya di greek. Thr colour purple on those days was it was a color of royalty and in many ways still is she's a bussiness woman. The lord open her heart. We do play a role in salvation. Our rolr as testimonies of God. Only God who makes things grow. Lead me to this opportunuties to water to plant seeds. Everything just temporal. Your resources, your ability was God plan.
So the moral of the story would be: to honor God, and God says to honor authority, but God also says he is in control, (the ultimate authority,) so if you choose to rebel or go against the authority, or choose to submit to the authority (believing that either way- God is leading you to do so,) than either way you will have chosen the correct path. That is, if you truly believe God has the ultimate authority and the choice you make is truly inspired by Him or is led by Him and glorifies Him. Glory to God!
