Entangle

My cable t.v. has more channels than I can count; same for sat/radio. After flipping in frustration, I quickly move on to something productive. It appears that the enemy has conspired to keep our minds busy, majoring in minors. Christ Jesus in Matt.13:22 explains the "sower" parable; "the thorns,  and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the Word, and he becometh unfruitful".       2Tim.2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life.                                           Entangle is used in Matt.22:15, Gal.5:1, and 2Peter2:20. it is to entwine, to trap,ensnare.                        What is a good way to Not get caught up in the diversions of this world? 2Tim2:5 Study[be diligent] to shew[present] thyself approved unto God[The Lord], a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.

"The Golden Rule".

The Golden Rule is the new Progressive tactic to deceive the 25% that class themselves as Evangelical, that went astray in 2008. The Vs. is actually a miss-quote from Matt.7:12 = "Therefore all things whatsoever ye be willing that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets". The Followers of Christ Jesus have been forewarned concerning deception.  Satan misquoted Scripture when talking with Eve in the Garden. Satan again in the temptation of Christ, misquoted scripture.  Apostle Paul admonishes us to "study, to show ourselves approved" so we must check the word, against the Word, just as we try the spirit, by the Spirit. The above scripture references the Law,which is represented by Moses, and the Prophets, which is represented by Elijah. These Two also were in the meeting with Christ on the Mountain of Transfiguration[Matt.17:1-9]. There is no "Golden Rule", only the Word of Christ-some of it is sweet, some bitter, but all Meat. Let us all take heed[ be careful] when non-believers quote Scripture; it is for their benefit, and doesn't edify the Body of Christ.

The Fire.

The Fire comes from Deut.4:5;the Nation of Israel were afraid of the Fire.     Moses was special, because He could see Something and hear Something inside of The Fire [Exodus3:2].    In 1Kings18:21 Elijah, the only Prophet in Israel at the time, ask the people about "jumping between two opinions". He entered into a competition with Baal. 1Kings 18:38 then The Fire of the Lord fell; God settled the matter with Fire.   In Daniel 7:9 the description of the coming Throne; Whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: His Throne was like the Fiery Flame, and His wheels as burning Fire.  Daniel 3:5 the three Hebrews, of the Tribe of Judah were commanded to participate in idol worship upon hearing specific music; they refused and were tossed into a furnace that was heated X times hotter. Dan.3:25 King Nebuchadnezzar "Lo, I see four men loose, and walking in the Fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like The Son of God".                                              Christ Jesus stated that "In this life, we would have trails and tribulations" = that means, tested with trouble.                                        The Good News - Jesus Saves.
