Christian Study

The writers of the New Testament wrote what they meant and meant what they wrote. Spiritualizing takes away the intended meaning. An incorrect translation does the same.

Romans 14:14 “I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing common of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be common, to him it is common.”

In Romans 14:14 Paul wrote the word common three times. Translators preferring to protect church doctrine wrote the word unclean.

The meaning is totally different than what churches teach. The verse is about food offered to idols and has nothing to do with unlcean things that are not food at all.

We are going to be called upon to have compassion. According to known biology those who took the poison shot spread or transmit spike proteins through physical touch. These proteins can cause those of us who refused the mRNA shots serious health issues. No one knows how long we must avoid contact or if the affect ever wears off. Provided they stop getting boosters, it may. How can we have compassion for people who will be in need of help, but may harm us?

Here is our current status. The vast majority of Christians have been told they are some other than God’s people. They were brought into salvation because God failed with His own Israel. This idea makes God a failure in saving His people and a promise breaker since most promises in scripture are for Israel.

Romans 11:2a "God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew."

Romans 11:25 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery... that blindness in part is happened to Israel".

It makes more sense that those who have followed Christ for nearly 2000 years are the Israel of scripture rather than those who make the claim, but hate and spit when they hear the name of our God.

God did not fail. We have just been taught the wrong people as God’s people and meaning of the words Jew and Gentile.

The writers of the New Testament wrote what they meant and meant what they wrote. Spiritualizing takes away the meaning they intended. In Romans 14:14 Paul wrote the word common three times. Translators preferring to protect church doctrine wrote the word unclean. Here is what the verse actually says.

Rom 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing common of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be common, to him it is common.

The meaning is totally different than what churches teach. The verse is about food offered to idols and has nothing to do with unlcean things that are not food at all.

The writers of the new testament wrote what they meant and meant what they wrote. Spiritualizing scripture destroys its meaning and hides the intent of the writers. In 1 Timothy 4:3 the translators wrote the word meats, but Paul wrote the word food.

1 Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from food, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Food that God created for us as food is to be received with thanksgiving, but what is food? No guessing required. The scripture defines its own terms. Scripture defines the word food. You can put whatever you want in your body, but you can not be holy if it does not conform to the scriptural definition of food.

1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

It was originally written in Leviticus 11. An old testament quote in the new testament requires one to know the context of that original quote. The context of the quote is God’s Health Laws. The logical answer here is that you can not be holy if you do not follow God’s Health Laws. A person who prays to God for good health, but ignores God’s health teachings should not expect good health. Taking the poison shot is a violation of God’s Health Laws.

When most people hear or read something that is different from what their preacher has taught, they go into reject mode. This is normal. If they don’t check it out for themselves they are not being good Bereans. Basing your salvation on the statements of your preacher is not wise nor biblical. You would be surprised how often what your preacher teaches is unscriptural and not even what he believes. I have encountered this several times and in social media all the time. When showing someone what scripture says, their normal answer is NO. No explanation, no scripture, just NO or ridicule. They are not good Bereans.

If you really want to know what the scripture teaches, you have to do a little actual work. Truth is a good thing. If you can’t handle a little ridcule and NO from those who don’t provide a reason, then it is best for you to be happy believing the politically correct lie they teach at your church. All organized churches are politically correct. The ones that are not get shut down. Yes, we are already past that point.

What I try to do is simply show what the Greek and Hebrew texts say. I also show the Greek and Hebrew word definitions. The scripture does the teaching. With all the evil in the world today, if your church is not a target of the bad guys and they mostly leave you alone, then they do not view your church as a threat to their evil. Usually this is because your church teaches a lukewarm, neutral gospel. If it offends only a few then it is worthless.

The other day I saw a story about a woman telling about how proud she was of her boys. They wanted to get a vasectomy as soon as possible. This is in light of the recent court decision that put abortion legality in the purview of the state.

So let’s talk about vasectomy. The only reason for it is intercourse without pregnancy. One reason might be the health of the woman where a pregnancy would be unsafe due to some health condition. The other reason would be random sexual intercourse which is forbidden by scripture. The vasectomy would not stop the spread of DNA or disease, only pregnancy. A simple condom would prevent these. When sexual intercourse is successful, that is the ejaculation occurs in the woman’s vagina, she receives the man’s DNA, even without sperm. This is still sexual intercourse that the scripture reserves for marriage.

Those boys have been taught to avoid children for pleasure. A vasectomy is relatively inexpensive. To undo a vasectomy is very expensive elective surgery. Insurance will likely not pay. Undoing a vasectomy may not always be possible. Someday those boys may decide they want children and that may not be possible. Some women are saying they want their men to have a vasectomy, but I believe it is only a political statement. When a woman wants a man, she wants one who can fully be a man for her, even with the chance that she could get pregnant. In other words, when a woman finds out the man had a vasectomy, she may no longer find him appealing.

There is a better way. Our society frowns on this, but there is nothing sinful about it. The answer is masturbation. Churches have taught against masturbation due to a misunderstanding of Onan and Tamar in Genesis 38:9. Onan was not mastubating. Onan was breaking a promise. Also, Asceticism has taught that pleasure is somehow evil. Pleasure is a gift from God. God gave us pleasure as motivation to fulfil one of His commands.

Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

Having children is a good thing, but there are a lot of years that a boy must live before children are a possibility. Even after that the need for sexual relief is strong. Our society today seems to want to encourage sinful intercourse while discouraging boys and men getting sexual relief. We live in a matriarchal society.

So back to masturbation. The mother above should set her boys down and have a discussion about women, sex and children. Then she should teach them about masturbation. She should teach them how it is a gift from God and that they should do it as often as they like, which is usually as often as they need it.

A wife must realize that she can not be available for intercourse when it is needed by the husband. A wife who has been properly trained will then also continue to help her husband by masturbating him or encouraging him to do so as desired. A happy man also can help there be a happy home.

Act 17:26  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation

The scripture is extremely accurate in all that it says. So when someone quotes Acts 17:26 trying to make a commonality among all men everywhere, either the scripture is wrong or our understanding of the verse is wrong.

There are eight different types of blood when you consider A, B, AB and O plus positive or negative of each. Then there are the alternate genes or alleles that are very much different among the different races. There are many of these alternate gene types. The wrong blood given to a person can be very dangerous. We are not all of one blood.

Since the scripture is correct then it must be our understanding of the verse. The word all in the phrase “all nations of men” is from the Greek pas which means “a part of all” men. To consider all two legged men on the face of the planet ignores the context. The translators did the best they could considering that the Koine Greek was unknown at the time of the first translations. All translations since must be fairly agreeable with the KJV or they just do not sell well.

I am aware that many translations do not have the word blood. These still misinterpret one as one man from all men everywhere rather than one from a part of all.

Remember that Adam was not the father of all men of all races. The name Adam is a description. To show blood in the face, to blush, rosy cheeks. Only a pure white man can blush. Those of other races who are pure, not of mixed blood can not show blood in the face or have rosy cheeks.

Context is very important. The book of Acts is a history of those of Israel fulfilling prophecy by becoming known as Christians. This is the answer to several prophecies in Hosea chapters one and two. In this case the word blood is very similar to the word generation in meaning. It is a single group of people who are kin and descend from one or one blood.
