The Thief, Accountability, and Abundant Life

  Title: Understanding John 10:10, Exodus 22, and the 8th Commandment In the Bible, several verses and teachings emphasize the importance of upholding God's commandments and living a righteous life. Among these are John 10:10, Exodus 22, and the 8th Commandment ("Thou shalt not steal"). Let's explore these passages and how they are connected to the concept of accountability and the promise of abundant life in Jesus. John 10:10 : This verse is part of a larger teaching where Jesus contrasts Himself as the Good Shepherd with the thief. Jesus says, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." Here, the thief can be interpreted as the enemy, including Satan, whose intentions are purely destructive and harmful. In contrast, Jesus brings life and abundance to those who follow Him. Exodus 22 : In this passage, God outlines laws for restitution and justice, including how to handle theft. A thief is held

Bible Study Notes: The Call

  The Call Mark 10:46-52 New Life Version Healing of the Blind Man 46  Then they came to the city of Jericho. When He was leaving the city with His followers and many people, a blind man was sitting by the road. He was asking people for food or money as they passed by. His name was Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus.  47  He heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. He began to speak with a loud voice, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”  48  Many people spoke sharp words to the blind man telling him not to call out like that. But he spoke all the more. He said, “Son of David, take pity on me.”  49  Jesus stopped and told them to call the blind man. They called to him and said, “Take hope! Stand up, He is calling for you! ”  50  As he jumped up, he threw off his coat and came to Jesus.  51  Jesus said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Lord, I want to see!”  52  Jesus said, “Go! Your faith has healed you.” At once he could see a

Euroclydon (Hurricane) Winds

  Euroclydon Acts 27:13-14 KJV "And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed close by Crete." "But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon." This Euroclydon ( Hurricane ) was a terrible storm from the east. This bad weather had to do with the oncoming winter. It seemed they hung to the coastline for safety. This is a strong, dangerous windstorm greatly feared by those who sailed the Mediterranean. Acts 27:15 "And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let [her] drive." This is just saying there was no way of going the direction the captain wanted to go without capsizing the ship, so he just let the wind carry them where it would. They were moving, if not in the right direction. Extra Notes: The  trees  inside  Biosphere  2 grew rapidly, more rapidly than they did outside of the dome, but they also  fell  over

Is Judas in Heaven or Hell?

  Is Judas in Heaven or Hell? Judas Disciple order in the scriptures. Matthew 10:4 (ESV) 4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Mark 3:19 (ESV) 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Mark 3:19 (ESV) 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Judas’s role in the Discipleship: John 13:29 English Standard Version 29 Some thought that, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. First mention of the twelve John 6:67 “Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?" Here is the first mention of the twelve in John’s gospel. Only five of them have been named thus far: John, Andrew, Peter, Philip and Nathanael. Perhaps this is John’s account of the confession of Simon Peter at Caesarea Philippi. John 6:68 “Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou has the words of eternal life." John 6:69 “And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, t

Adam and Eve lost the Covering

  Adam and Eve lost the Covering   Genesis 2:17 "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die ." To “die” has the basic idea of separation. It can mean spiritual separation, physical separation, and/or eternal separation. At the moment of their sin, Adam and Eve died spiritually, but because God was merciful they did not die physically until later (5:5). There is no reason given for this prohibition, other than it was a test (see note on verse 9). There was nothing magical about that tree, but eating from it after it had been forbidden by God would indeed give man the knowledge of evil, since evil can be defined as disobeying God. Man already had the knowledge of good. “Thou shalt not eat” is in strongest Hebrew form of prohibition. “Surely die”: The construction emphasizes in the strongest way the certainty of death upon eating. (Note 3:4 and Satan’s “Ye shall not surely
