Several religions have stated that Jesus is not God. Or that Jesus did not say He was God. This is nonsense. He told the Jewish people that He was the I Am several times. (Exodus 3)
When Christians try to understand the Trinity, they sometimes do not understand how God can come down in the flesh. Genesis 18:2 shows this very well.
But Jesus was 100% God and 100% a man. Daniel shows this together with the Ancient of Days and the Son of Man. Adam and Eve were sinless and then sinned. For JWs, how would our sins be forgiven if Christ was not God because only God is sinless? And how would he be able to die for the sin of the world, us who were born under sin, if He was not 100% man and 100% God. He could cry out, "It is finished," as He declared all those who would believe by faith that He was God. 1 Cor 15:1-4. He rose again and appeared to the disciples so that we would know our promise of eternal life.
No one is saved without placing their faith in Christ. But how? Pray to the Lord, place your sins on Him, believe that He is God and that He died for your sin,s and ask him into your heart. He will cause you to be born again from above (John 3). Without that, no one is saved.
All other religions, even some Christian religions, ask you to work to be saved, but Christ wants us to believe in Him. Then He helps us from the inside out to do things for Him. We walk through life under His precious blood, which is the grace of God teaching us away from ungodliness. Titus 2:11-12
Challenge. When you read the Gospels and see Jesus doing something or not knowing something, think about why the Holy Spirit is showing this particular situation. Could it be to teach us how to respond? We are to follow Him. We are to be His disciples. It makes for an interesting study.

Dr. Michael Heiser wrote a book called The Unseen Realm. He hypothesized that in Genesis 1:26 when God said to make man in "Our Image," this is the heavenly host of beings, not God's majestic plural. Dr. Baruch and I will discuss the majestic plural and whether Heiser is wrong or right in the context of scripture.
We appreciate Dr. Heiser's work.
Please note that the divine council is shown in Job if you wish to refresh yourself.

Are we reading God's word to know ABOUT him or to KNOW him? When we love someone, we spend time with them. Our Bible helps us get to know God by asking Him to reveal His purposes to us. God's Word is what created us and sustains us. In Exodus 3 Part 4, Moses is confronted by God to carry out His will, to free the people enslaved in Egypt. God is literally revealing himself to Moses through a "image of a man" in a burning bush. This is the same for us today. We are to be in the image of God, reflecting his Character. How do we do this? First serve the Lord, make him our priority, study His word with the depth and reverence it deserves. Then when he says go, GO!
Christ came to earth for us, so we could physically see how God would act in a human body. Do we understand this truth? Are we willing to now turn our hearts and lives over to him at the foot of the cross? Are we willing to approach the Word of God in a way that would deepen our relationship with our Creator? We must know that the Word of God is our lifeline to our Christian walk here on earth. Our born-again experience doesn't end with giving our hearts to Christ and repenting. It is just the beginning of an awakened Spirit that can now experience revelation and understanding where we couldn't before. It is the very thing that changes us from the inside out. Our eyes are then open to the reality that redemption is possible through our Savior Christ and our desire to Obey and Serve him comes from pure gratitude and LOVE!

See full post & commentsDoes worshiping God include dealing with our sins? Exodus 30 and 31
Most scholars believe the tabernacle in the wilderness is a pattern of worship. Mary and Ric take their husband and wife bible study of Exodus and discuss how the tabernacle in the wilderness is a pattern to be in God's house. All of us should long to be wherever God resides. Numbers 12 shows us that God spoke to Moses face to face. And Moses was part of God's household. WOW. Moses was obedient to God's word. He demonstrated faith by acting on it. We can study to obey God's word. We have the whole bible. Moses just began to start to write it! Now let us be a part of God's household...by being one who obeys.
The tabernacle gives us a pattern of God's plan to become close to Him. We cannot worship any way we wish and hope to be part of God's household. We must always be willing to deal with our sin. How do we know we sin? God wants to reveal our hearts to us through the application of God's word.
God was so serious about dwelling with the children of Israel; He had two lambs slain each day so that in the morning and evening, we could put our sin on the lamb, knowing God was covering us with the "blood of the lamb" for the day. So we begin our worship by accepting the sacrifice of the lamb and repenting of our sin.
In the video portion of this Podcast, Ric diagrams the tabernacle and shows it is laid out like a house. God's house and His rules. But our sin must be dealt with IN OUR HEARTS and with HIS HELP. The pattern in the tabernacle shows us instructions on how to worship God if we ask God for His assistance to understand.
We then turn the chapter to Exodus 31, and God is speaking to Moses to select a man who is the son of... and the grandson of...In these names of men, we think the Holy Spirit is showing us the character of the man who would build the tabernacle by being filled with the Holy Spirit. We are filled the same way TO CARRY OUT GOD's will and Kingdom. Bezalel's name showed he wanted to be in the shadow of God. Do we?

In whose shoes are we walking? God's shoes or our shoes? His will or our will? This is crucial for us to note. Why? Moses engaged the Egyptians in Exodus 2 in his strength or his shoes, not God's will. An Egyptian died as a result. And Moses fled Egypt. Why? The 40 years Moses was in the wilderness was a preparation time, as much for Moses, as for the Hebrews. God wants to prepare us for service in His Kingdom. This "wilderness experience" of depending on God is especially true in the times we are currently living. Will we submit to His word before circumstances get beyond our control? Shall we turn to God now for help knowing His word, so we become prepared for the times ahead? We can obey the Scripture by putting our hearts up against the Word of God, as Moses is now doing in Exodus 3 Part 3. Moses' choices changed him, and our choices to be in God's will change us as well. Can we see that obedience to God's revelation in His Word will give us power? Why? We are operating for His purposes and glory...not our own.
Here is a crucial bible study principle. We are not Moses. Thus we cannot live the way Moses lived. But is this a correct point of view? No. The Holy Spirit is using the story of Moses to show us that we each have choices as Moses did. Moses's hard-earned lessons are ours if we receive them into our lives by asking the constant questions: "Lord, open my eyes, I want to obey you. How can I respond to You correctly?" The Lord will answer this prayer. When we approach Scripture, we can have this attitude.
The revelation of the Lord will change our life like it did Moses. We can learn Moses' lessons. The goal of the Holy Spirit is for us to line up with God's plans and revelation. But be prepared, it means we will be changed! You will go on a journey with God.

EPISODE SUMMARY
When encountering the living God expect change! Exodus 3 Part 2 Join Ric and Mary Joyner for continuing the discussion in Exodus which is a glimpse of our Christian walk.
EPISODE NOTES
After 40 years in Egypt and 40 years in the wilderness, Moses encounters the Living God Who is moving to SAVE His people out of Egypt. Egypt represents the world system of sin and being enslaved by sin. The Pharaoh is the evil ruler and is representative of Satan. But sin is what separates us from God. Our discussion asks questions of the Lord, such as why the Hebrews ended up enslaved in Egypt and you will be surprised by the parallels of our own lives? Hint: Idolatry. God is listening to our cries for His salvation from the bondage of our sin. He wants to rescue us to Himself.

How to become a disciple. In this talk, biblestudycompany asked Dr. Baruch to discuss what it means to be a disciple. He covers 2 Timothy 2:1-10.
EPISODE NOTES
This podcast for pewsitter is on how to become a disciple. In this talk, biblestudycompany asked Dr. Baruch to discuss what it means to be a disciple. He covers 2 Timothy 2:1-10. But first, he discusses Moses.
Humility is a crucial component. Our understanding of humility is flawed. It is not an outward emotion or demeanor but a choice. Yes, a choice. According to Numbers 12:3, Moses was the most humble man on earth. How do we know humility has nothing to do with a demeanor? Because the Lord says: 7 "Not so, with My servant Moses, He is faithful in all My household; 8 With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. " Please note that this confirms Gen 12:4 that Abraham was full of faith because He heard from the Lord and obeyed God's word. Moses, too, was humble because following the word of God is going to be hard on us. And that is why it is a choice. Obeying God can be so hard we may not be able to accomplish obedience without His help changing us! Our thoughts are that Moses was indeed humble and a strong leader. Inward strength is required to obey God's word. Will we make a choice to follow God's word with His help? So God is faithful to His word meaning that He keeps His promises. We are to be faithful to act on His word as well.
Dr. Baruch carries this concept into the New Testament in 2 Timothy 2:1-10

First Annual Bible Study Company Conference. When will the tribulation start? What is the next event on God's prophetic calendar? Dr. Baruch Korman of Loveisrael.org covers Ezekiel 44:23-17
EPISODE NOTES
Dr. Baruch gives us the next events in God's prophetic timetable. It is as if you are sitting in front of Dr. Baruch, who is creating a dinner full of events that we can see unfolding. We are indeed in a startling time of history. Prophecy is unfolding before our eyes in rapid acceleration. For example, some of the questions Dr. Baruch answers are: When will the tribulation start? Watch Iran. What is the next prophetic escalation? The religion of the Anti-Christ will be tolerance, except for Jews and Christians. Why is global climate change a huge deal? Are there ways for us to be a Kingdom person? Why is there such a focus away from God's word in the church and to signs and wonders? Does the prayer of people in church seem to be for emotional revivals that focus on experiences rather than discipleship? The Lord always calls us to submit our lives to Him and His word. By asking for Christ's help to change us to line up with His will, the greatest miracle of all happens. A person's heart is changed; they are born again; they can understand God's ways and will bear fruit according to Christ and the Kingdom of God.

See full post & commentsMary and I were in a bible study we had today for a group. We discussed the role of the bible in our lives. We discussed every pewsitters "role" in going to church. We dutifully go to church but are listening to what pastors teach about the bible but rarely engage Scripture ourselves. The group nodded in agreement. We also explained that the bible is 66 books with 37 authors! But the exciting theme in Scripture is that God, Who could speak the universe into existence, is impacting the lives of people. The people who put their trust in God as a result of obedience to His word, faired very well under His Lordship, rather than following their heart's desires. He is moving in our lives as well. We either see Him or not. "What did you just say, Ric?" Yes, we can miss Him as He is moving through history. We are blinded by our own minds to His ways. And if we are lucky enough, we may come in contact with Christ, and we are born again. Our eyes are changed. What now? How do we move forward? We go to church. We are told what to do and what to know and even what to think. But is this the model of discipleship that Christ had with His disciples? No. They were in a relationship with Him as He moved through their lives and onto a goal of doing the Father's Will. What is God's will for you? To be in submission to His will and thus His word. But you have to be a disciple first. As a person in the pew, how do we go about being a disciple? Take a course? Better yet, how can I study like Dr. Baruch? Change your thinking and start a relationship with the God of the bible by engaging His word. In this podcast or video, Dr. Baruch shares how we can begin to study like a disciple. If we are serious about Scripture, He may open up the word to us. (Prov 1-2) We may get to see into the Living God's heart! We can get to know Him and His ways. David did. David learned through the trials of life and the word of God, to do His will. Will you? Pick up the word to obey God in a relationship with Him today. Don't think you can? Ask Him to change you. He will. And don't let HIM GO like Jacob refused to do. You, like Jacob, will never walk the same again. Join us as we listen to Dr. Baruch expound the scriptures to inspire us to be doers of the word.

Why study the Bible? What is the purpose? Are you a disciple of Christ? From Romans 9:1-16 Part 1, Dr. Baruch Korman shares at the First Annual User Conference why we as Pewsitters need to study God's word.
EPISODE NOTES
Why study the Bible? What is the purpose? Are you a disciple of Christ? Disciples obey the teacher. Our Teacher is the Lord Jesus Christ. From Romans 9:1-16 Part 1, Dr. Baruch Korman shares at the First Annual User Conference why, we as Pewsitters, need to study God's word. But how?
One of the first signs of someone's experience of being born again INTO GOD'S Kingdom is a hunger for God's word. But what about us who have been "sitting in pews" for many years? The main reason for us to dig in as pewsitters is to get to KNOW God. We can ask Him to be Lord of our life but what does that mean? Who is this God I cannot see? But I can hear from Him through His Word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Dr. Baruch Korman of Loveisrael.org helps us to get a foundation of FAITH in the why, how, of biblical study. Join us for this podcast or video.
Dr. Baruch goes into detail about a passage that was important to the Apostle Paul. Today the church is lacking in teaching about doctrine and theology because it may not "grow" the church. But for those of us who wish to be disciples to live a praiseworthy life to God, we must know how critical doctrine and theology are to our walk with Christ. The Lord wants us to be ready and prepared. We do this by knowing how and what God expects us to obey. Don't miss this foundation talk!

What is next on the prophetic timeline and are you ready? We are to be Kingdom of God minded people. Dr. Baruch Korman at the First Annual User Conference explains how to line our lives up with God's prophetic calendar.
EPISODE NOTES
What is next on the prophetic calendar? People we encountered have said; "It doesn't feel right in the world, and something is wrong." We agree. There is something unsettled, and it is the events that are rising, as if from the turbulent "sea" of political chaos. Nations are indeed rising against nation and religious persecution around the world is at an all-time high. Churches seem to be oblivious to the needs of people and God's call to preach the word of God and make disciples. Can we know what is happening and when? Dr. Baruch opens up the Scripture to see the next events on God's timeline. But are you ready? Are you a Kingdom-minded person? Don't know how to be? This podcast will get you started. The first place is to get on our face before the Lord Jesus. Then ask for a new heart in our fight against sin and for help in living a praiseworthy life to Him. He wants us to be ready. That can only happen with a submitted heart to the Lord. Join us for this podcast.

Understanding Biblical Prophecy is so important for those of us who want to study the Bible to be obedient to God. Dr. Baruch Korman teaches on Matthew 24:32-44
Dr. Baruch Korman discusses Matthew 23:32-44 at Bible Study Company First Annual User Conference, and its relevance for us. Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy and lining our lives up with prophecy is crucial. For example, we will be with the Lord in the Millennial Reign of Christ thus should we not get ready now while in this body? But how? How do lay-people learn to understand the symbolism? The Lord will help us if we are committed to His plans and purposes. Watch Dr. Baruch unpack this key Scripture describing the last days time-lines. Join us for this great podcast.
