Denny Petrillo (WVBS course notes) 3 But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did, when he became hungry, he and his companions;  ***See article: “Matthew 12 And Situation Ethics”.  Have you not read? This is a rebuke. Of course they had read! 4 how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests alone?  Jesus makes reference to 1 Samuel 21:6. It is called the “show bread” or the “loaves of presentation” because it was publicly set out. What David ate was bread that had been removed, not that which was freshly baked and ready for the table. But still, according to the Law of Moses, it was to be eaten only by the priests (see Lev 24:5-9).  The Pharisees would never have condemned David’s eating of the bread. They would never say David broke the Law. But now they are finding fault with Jesus’ men because they broke the law of the uninspired traditions of the Jews. David cl

The offender. Matthew 5:23-24 - Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 1. Before an offender can worship scripturally, he must first get things straightened out with the offended one. 2. The shortest distance way to God may be the distance to your brother’s house. 3. If the inspired instructions of this passage were followed, a lot of worship services would be delayed until the brethren returned. 4. Friends, there is no use trying to talk to God if we are not on speaking terms with our brother. B. The Offended. Matthew 18:15-17 - Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his f

  Jhn 12:42     Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing  Him,  for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue; 雖然如此，官長中卻有好些信他的，只因法利賽人的緣故，就不承認，恐怕被趕出會堂。 Jhn 12:43     for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God. 這是因他們愛人的榮耀過於愛神的榮耀。 _____ Albert Barnes: The chief rulers - Members of the Sanhedrin - Nicodemus, Joseph, and others like them. 首席官長／統治者-猶太公會成員-Nicodemus、Joseph和其他像他們一樣的人。 Dictionary: Sanhedrin:  the  highest court of justice and the supreme council in  ancient  Jerusalem . 猶太公會：古代耶路撒冷的最高法院和最高議會。 Denny Petrillo (WVBS): “The rulers” include Nicodemus (3:1) and others of the Sanhedrin. ”官長／統治者” 包括尼哥底母（3：1）和其他猶太公會的人。

  Frank Himmel  https://vikingdrivechurchofchrist.com/articles/2019/07/07/the-apostles-judging-on-thrones   07/07/19  -  Textual Study One of our readers asked about Jesus’ promise to the apostles in  Matthew 19:28 : “And Jesus said to them, ‘Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Understanding this promise hinges on the answer to several questions. What is the Regeneration? The word itself means a rebirth or a renewal. The specific term occurs only here and in  Titus 3:5  in the phrase  washing of regeneration,  a reference to baptism. When we are baptized into Christ we are raised to “walk in newness of life” ( Romans 6:4 ), hence we are “born again” ( John 3:3 ). Being a new creation ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ) and putting on the new self ( Ephesians 4:24 ) are parallel ideas. Jesus identifies it as the time when the Son of Man

But what about OT saints? What happened to them when they died? Did they go to Paradise? How could they, since Christ had not yet died for their sins? What does the Bible say? ANSWER: I answered a similar question a couple of years ago, but I will do it here again and include a couple of extra thoughts. A common idea has existed in Christendom almost from its beginning, namely, that the souls of believers who died before Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension could not go to “heaven,” or more precisely, to Paradise, since Christ had not yet died and atoned for their sins. The assumption was that their sins could not be truly forgiven until the blood of Christ was shed for them in actual history. Thus their sou

  From:  https://www.lavistachurchofchrist.org/cms/how-did-people-get-saved-before-jesus-was-crucified/   August 12, 2022 Question: How did people get saved before Jesus was crucified? Answer: Prior to Jesus, people were expected to live in obedience to God. " For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them " ( Romans 2:12-15 ). Of course, no one is able to keep the law perfectly ( Romans 3:23 ). But God offered forgiveness to those who sought to please Him and keep His teachings. For instance,

From: CHURCH RESET | JACK WILKIE   If you are a Christian who’s been saved by the blood of Christ and have not turned your back on Him, you are righteous. I am, too. David claimed his righteousness (and others’ wickedness) plenty of times in the Psalms. But even reading those, it feels uncomfortable. Can you say it and mean it? “I am righteous.” Seems strange, doesn’t it? It certainly feels like arrogance. Some might say it’s the most literal form of self-righteousness. But it is neither of those things. It is simply accepting what the Bible says as true. Two reasons why you should get in the habit of thinking of yourself as righteous. God called you righteous. To insist you are a broken sinner who is no different than anyone else is to call God a liar and to call the Holy Spirit entirely useless as a transforming power. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who
