Here's another point of view for your consideration.

Does anyone know where he is and how to contact him? John Custer???

The life of the flesh is in the blood. Maybe that's why it's "Special" - For the exact reason God said it is. I've read many of your posts, TMVP and have determined that you really like to "hear" yourself talk (or type) I don't think I've ever seen anyone respond to their own posts so consistently. Talking to yourself? And you answer yourself too? WOW? And the turning simple statements into questions is also...unique. I think if you would read what is written in the word about the many and varied subjects you raise so many questions about you would have fewer questions and lot's more answers. You asked (yourself) about the ...sacredness??? of blood??? And why it is that??? The life of the flesh is in the blood. There is a period after that, not a question mark. Don't recall if/where the Bible says "Blood is sacred" but it does say the life of the flesh is in the blood. So, that's what I will believe, because Moses wrote it, by revelation from The God, in one of his many conversations with Him. From your many questions to anyone in general and yourself specifically that doesn't seem to be good enough for you. I think there comes a time in everyone's life (Spiritual) where they reach a point at which they say to themselves, "Hey You/Me? Do you really believe this book or that book? Do we/I/You believe what you say I/Me?we say we do, to ourselves?" I asked myself recently, Rachel??? Are you still actively believing the Bible? Do you still believe The Sabbath is a THE sign between Him and His people? Do you still believe that Sunday worship is counterfeit? Rachel, do you still believe that if you love HIM you will keep His commandments? If you don't believe that anymore, go have a good time doing what people that do believe Him call Willful Sin, because if you don't believe Him anymore you are no longer bound by His word, Right Rachel? We decided we still believe His Word, so I/Me/We will continue to fight the good fight. I hope that you have that conversation with yourself and make a decision about what you believe. Most of the Bible is pretty straight forward, so even though you may not have a very good understanding of the more spiritual matters, it is possible to read and believe most of what you read without intense study and research. Eventually you will get to a point in your walk where you will literally shyt of get off the pot. Either way you will move. Good Luck. Whatever you do, do it with ALL YOUR POWER. I'm not advising you in either decision - Just trying to push you into making one, and stop dickin' around, RachelIsrael

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.... Teachmevp: I don't want to rehash my views on your questions to me. You can go over things I wrote a long time ago in a galaxy far away (Had to say that) I must say I've mellowed out quite a bit while still believing everything I said a few years ago. Here's a link that may interest you. Why don't you read my posts on this thread and we can talk later this evening? No sarcasm (I'll try) just good convo, ok? And you, please try not to get to out there too, ok? RachelIsrael http://www.greasespo...__1#entry398688

HI Twinky!!!

See if you can dig up some of my previous posts to other threads. RACHELISRAEL (Still and always)

"On the one hand, you recognize the unconditional and eternal... But on the other hand, you do recognize the emphasis on the covenant at Sinai; It’s a conditional covenant." Are you saying I have 2 left hands? Or, are you saying both my hands know what the other hand is doing? Is there a third hand (Foundation, anyone?) Are you giving me props? OK OK. Since there's No question mark after your statement I suppose you are acknowledging that I recognize whatever it is you said in your response to Isaiah. (not me). I Am,and Remain, Rachel Israel

Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel. Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

"...thank you for your insight, I learned a lot?" Canadian then. That explains quite a bit. I Am. Rachel I Am. Israel

Frack. Frak??? Battle Star Galactica. Who's your teacher? Acts 8:30 Rachel Israel

Wow. Hmmm. WTF??? BSG WTF... Not the regular WTF.

Hi Gang, A friend sent me this, and I found it quite refreshing and thought I'd share. No comments, thoughts or personal opinions. Rachel Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. Psalm 119:133-135 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:14-17 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. Luke 8:9-21 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:31-32 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Revelation 3:10-12
