@Iustandpleasure Does God exist for you or do you exist for God?

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@Ihunanya_chi Even Jesus and His disciples took time out.

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

Yep! That's where I've been for a while now.

[Wes Huff @WesleyLHuff]

If I'm honest this has been a hard season for me lately. I've been struggling with trusting God's timing. I was reminded when reading Psalm 37 today that I am to be still before Yahweh and wait patiently. That Yahweh is good to those who wait for him and seek him, and it is good to wait quietly for God’s salvation (Lam. 3:25–26). This quiet waiting involves hoping in God’s word while the soul waits more intensely than watchmen awaiting morning (Psalm 130:5–6).

I was reminded that prior to preaching to thousands, for a season Peter went back to fishing after thinking he failed Jesus. That Paul sat in prison cells, Lazarus lay in a tomb, Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, Hannah wept on the steps of the tabernacle, Joseph was locked in the captivity, and Moses stood in the fields of Median herding sheep. All before God made moves in his timing.

Times of waiting, while hard, remind us of the confidence we should have in God’s timing and character. When direction seems slow in coming, we're called to wait for it, assured it will come when the time is ready (Hab. 2:3). Yahweh himself waits to be gracious and show mercy, and those who wait for him are blessed, for he is a God of justice (Isa. 30:18). Rather than taking matters into their own hands, like I often am tempted to do, we are instructed not to repay evil but to wait for the Lord, who will deliver us (Prov 20:22).

Hoping for what is unseen involves waiting with patience (Romans 8:25), and through the Spirit and faith, believers eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness (Galatians 5:5). Waiting involves expectancy and hope regarding events and contingencies still in the future, it's the outworking of a spiritual posture directed at trusting God’s promises and timing rather than our own understanding.

Knowing all of this, writing here on X doesn't make my season of needing to wait any easier, but the consistent, inspired, inerrant testimony of scripture nonetheless gives me something solid to trust in. I am fickle, impatient, and finite. God is trustworthy, forbearing, and infinite. And his timing is right even if I don't know how or when things will happen.

@SolaBonhoeffer You're not well! Seek help!

Idolatry is also worshiping God in a way not instructed by Him like rabbinic Judaism, which is not Mosaic Judaism. Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu found that out.

[Abi @abi4560]

In Deu 12:32-13:4 idolatry is defined as worshiping anyone or anything that was not revealed to our ancestors at Mt Sinai. Our fathers at Mt Sinai did not know Jesus, pray to Jesus or worship Jesus.

Most High hates idolatry because idolatry is a spiritual form of adultery.

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

Yet neither you nor modern Israel have kept the 613 Commandments for 2000yrs.

[Abi @abi4560]

@NoAceWTP Deu 4:2 outright prohibits changing the Commandments in Torah in any way. Jesus and the NT gosper violate the very Commandment. Deu 13 defines Jesus worship as idolatry. I hope you come out of it.

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

Where in Torah does it say Isaiah 53 is regarding Israel?

[Abi @abi4560]

2 Since the Almighty forbade adding to or diminishing from His Commandments in Torah Deu 4:2, Where in Torah is the Commandment to believe in the crucifixion of Jesus for atonement, forgiveness of sins, salvation and everlasting life?

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@TanakhvsNT @abi4560 @alexlyle Did you bother to read the accounts? Gideon, Manoah & wife were terrified because they knew there was something about the Angel of the Lord which required their deaths. Your problem is you don't want to see so God answers in kind.

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@TanakhvsNT @abi4560 @alexlyle Dodge!

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@TanakhvsNT @abi4560 @alexlyle Why did Gideon and Manoah respond in the same way when they saw the Angel of the Lord? It's just an angel, right?

@Victor475246832 @J_Chav10 @Little_Ms_Nope Before you go there remember that little incident in Genesis 2v7? And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@tobiastimor @abi4560 The Jeremiah 31 reference means what?

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@Victor475246832 @J_Chav10 @Little_Ms_Nope God in the form of a ish!

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@J_Chav10 @Victor475246832 @Little_Ms_Nope Genesis 32v25 And Ya’akov was left by himself; and there wrestled an ish with him until the shachar (dawn, sunup).
(31) And Ya’akov called the shem of the makom (place) Peniel [Face of G-d): for I have seen Elohim panim el panim, and my nefesh is saved.

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@TanakhvsNT @abi4560 @alexlyle The worship of the Living God Who became a man (as your Scriptures indicated), is encouraged for the good of your mortal soul.

@abi4560 Clearly you 👀 only what you want to 👀
The Hebrew name of Jesus means salvation. Exodus 15v2 Hashem my oz and zimrah (song of praise), and He is become to me Yeshuah (salvation); He is Eli (my G-d), and I will praise Him; Elohei Avi, and I will exalt Him.

@Fungame77 "2 completely separate beings,?" Distinct, not separate.
What is the nature of the Word in John 1v1?

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@abi4560 They were Jews, apart from Luke!

[Starring Dmj @DmjBonafide]

@nnahle And the Jewish name for Jesus means salvation.
Exodus 15v2 Hashem is my oz and zimrah (song of praise), and He is become to me Yeshuah (salvation); He is Eli (my G-d), and I will praise Him; Elohei Avi, and I will exalt Him.

@abi4560 Yet rabbinic Judaism says Isaiah 53 is about the "righteous remnant."
