Isaiah 6:1�5:1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3 And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"
4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 And I said: "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
Devotional:
People who live with God must be clean and holy because God is holy. Using many laws, God taught the people of the Old Covenant how to distinguish between clean and unclean, between what the LORD accepts and what the LORD rejects. First the Israelites had to learn to be ritually clean. That is, they had to observe the proper procedures for approaching God, the proper washings, the acceptable offerings, and the right place and time for the sacrifice.
On a deeper level, however, they had to learn to be morally clean and holy. "Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place?" asks the psalmist. The answer is, "He who has clean hands and a pure heart" (Ps. 24:3�4). "Clean hands" means more than fingers dipped in a bowl of water for ritual cleansing. Clean hands are those that do good and are steered by a person with a "pure heart."
God is holy. Therein lies the great difference between God and us and our sin-soaked world. As soon as human beings awake to the reality of God, we are overcome by our own moral pollution. God's holiness is a flash of lightning that reveals and threatens our sinful existence. We cannot see God and live. "I am unclean," we cry.
Yet the holy life is precisely the life for which God's love prepares us. God intends us to share fully in his holiness.
When I showed YeshuaReigns who Yahweh (the God of the Bible is)
the GOD of the Bible is:
Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
Rom 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Rom 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Rom 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Rom 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Rom 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Rom 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Rom 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Rom 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
He had this to say: Yeshuareigns says: ""So no freewill means man is an automaton-a robot created by God who has already decreed most will go to hell because they have no choice whatsoever. Well, u may consider yrself a robot, but I am certainly not. My God gave me a conscience, an intellect and the ability to use those in response to Jesus words and actions-the ability to willingly choose him, not to be coerced, and to love Him for what He has done for me, not forced love which is no love at all. "
And u keep posting the same drivel...judgmental to say the least.
Also funny to note christians believed man has freewill for 1600 odd years before Calvin came along...a man who by his own admission got saved by being baptised by a Catholic priest....
Dont misrepresent me thanks Bob-as u well know I have offered scriptures on this topic, as have others who reject Calvinism.
U come across as elitist and arrogant because I have a different view-show some christian humility if possible huh? Or like Calvin would you like to torture then murder me?
