Exodus 1:8-14 of Exodus 1:8-22( Pharaoh oppresses Israel) Exodus 1:8-14 "8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. 9 And he said to the people, " Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. 10 Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land." 11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raames. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multipled and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel. 13 So they ruthlessly made the people of Israel work as slaves 14 and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and all kinds of work in the field. In all their work they ruthlessly made them work as slaves."( Genesis 1:8-14 ESV Study Bible). Praise to the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and thank God😊100%❤ for no more slavery today in Christ. John 14:6😊❤
Mark 7:1-13( Traditions and commandments) "7 Now when the Pharisees gathered to him( Jesus😊1st❤), with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, 2 they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that was unwashed. 3 ( For the pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hand properly, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4 and when they c8me from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels snd dinning couches.) 5 And the Pharisees and scribes asked him( Jesus😊1st❤), " why do your disciples not walk according to the traditions of the elders, but eat with defiled hands? " 6 And he(Jesus😊1st❤) said to them, " Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, " ' This people honors me with their lips but their heart is far from me; 7 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' 8 You leave the commandment of God and told to the tradition of men." 8 You leave the commandment of God(😊100%❤) and hold to the tradition of men." 9 And he said to them, " You have a fine way of rejecting the commandments of God in order to established your tradition! 10 For Mose😊❤ said, " Honor😊❤ your father and😊❤ your mother😊❤' ; and , ' Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die, ' 11 But you say, ' If a man tells his father or his mother, " Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban" '( that is, given to God)- 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13 thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do." "( Mark 7:1-13 ESV Study Bible. In Jesus'name, i pray( Genessis 12:1-3😊❤ and Matthew 28:19-20😊❤) Amen.
Mark 7 :14-23 ( What defiles a person) "14 And he(Jesus😊1st❤) called to him and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defiled him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him." 17 And when he(Jesus😊1st❤) had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him( Jesus😊1st❤) about the parable😊❤. 18 And he(Jesus😊1st❤) said to them, " Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 Since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled? " ( Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he( Jesus😊1st❤) said, " What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immortality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defiled a person." "( Mark 7:14-23 ESV Study Bible)
Jesus said “my Father, which is in heaven;” man says God came down from heaven. Which is the truth? It certainly is not the lying traditions of man. God has never once left His throne (Psalm 102:12). He has sent His Son to reconcile us back to Him. Jesus has told the world throughout the New Testament that the only true God _remains_ in heaven. It is God’s power and spirit that possesses Jesus (Proverbs 8:22) and all of God’s people (2 Corinthians 6:16). This is what it means *_to become one even as they are one_* (John 17:21-23). God the Father’s power and spirit works through those who are one in total agreement with His will, but this does not make them God. Moses was not God, but it was God who parted the Red Sea through him. Samson was not God, but God gave him strength to do His work. David is not God, but he won every battle he fought. People who endure witchcraft, eating and drinking poisons from evil ones but live in total peace and harmony-they are not God, but they have God’s power and spirit in them. Jesus is not God, but “the Father is with him and has *_not left him alone”_* (John 8:29). This is the same for all who love and obey the Father. Repent, come to Christ, and you will behold *the power of the Almighty God, the Father.* Amen.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 (notice the end of the verse: “the Word was God”) And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth; John 1:14 (The Word, who was and is God, came down from heaven and dwelt among us. Who is the Word? His name is the Lord Jesus Christ, another name of His is Emanuel which means God with us) Denial of the deity of the Lord Jesus is an affront to God the Father, and one day those who deny the Lord Jesus will stand before Him at the great white throne and received the judgment of those who have rejected the salvation they were so freely offered. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 ¶ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18
_Jesus said “my Father, which is in heaven;” man says God came down from heaven. Which is the truth?_ They are both true, the Father is in heaven AND here on the earth. How can this be? Because Jesus tells us. *John 14:10* Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. *John 14:20* At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. The Father dwells in Jesus, and Jesus dwells within His people, where are God's people? they are dwelling here on the earth, therefore, God the Father is dwelling in heaven and here on earth at the same time.
Jesus is God; in Hebrews chapter 1 the Father actually speaks of Him as God the One who created all things, yes Jesus is God. There are so many places where the Bible speaks of Christ as our God and that is why He is the Mediator (being fully God and fully man He comprehends both well and therefore is able to act fully as the Mediator). 1 Timothy 3:16 it is clear without controversy God was manifest in the flesh (it is a great mystery). He that denies the Father and the Son is antichrist, you need to believe on Him and be saved. Which man or angel can you believe on and he will save you? That is exactly why we are commanded to call on him for salvation, that Glory belongs only to the Creator God, no creature shares that Glory with the Lord God. You can not call on Moses and be saved, or on Samson and be saved, but Christ in whom dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily is the Savior, He is in fact the one who will create a new heavens and a new earth because the Father acts through Him. These are mysteries of course but they are true regardless. The fact you do not believe on Christ as you ought is a testimony you are in darkness because the Spirit of God comes to teach us of Him. You need to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus otherwise you will die in your sins if you don't believe on Him and in Him.
Your knit an Xbox or a McDonalds toy, that's what the setting aside of your pride is, accepting that he knit you less than to further his plan for the Xboxes. If the Lord wills, then we need to stop sinning by using Drs., cops, paramedics, fire depts., etc. It must be his will if it happens. I also noticed you did not worry about your congregation as a whole you went straight to the loss of 30 grand.....

Shawn, you need to repent and believe in Jesus Christ.
_Jesus said “my Father, which is in heaven;” man says God came down from heaven. Which is the truth?_
They are both true, the Father is in heaven AND here on the earth.
How can this be? Because Jesus tells us.
*John 14:10*
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
*John 14:20*
At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

where are God's people? they are dwelling here on the earth,
therefore, God the Father is dwelling in heaven and here on earth at the same time.
