One mond, compassion for one another, love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteoys, not returning evil for evil. All these qualities are very important but unfortunately these qualities are not shared by the total congregation, which is very very sad. My fellow worshippers can only continue to demonstrate these qualities so the others may see. The other thing we can do is to continue to pray for the ones that do not demonstrate these qualities.

Animal sacrifices expressed God's mercy in that the payment for sin is death because of God's mercy, an animal was sacrificed instead of man.

Female lamb without blemish, lay hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it as a sin offering at the place where they kill the burnt offering. The priest take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour the remaining blood at the base of the altar. Remove all fat, priest burn the fat on the altar. For today we do not bring brunt offerings but we must kneel on our knees, confess our trespasses and ask God for forgiveness. We give him our all.

Animal sacrifice to modern people is repulsive because its widely known and used in the cult sector and used for evil and plus many don't have the understanding of the true sacrifice. City people have a habit of looking down on farm people. Truly, farm people live off the land and are just common folks who don't need luxurious things to live. City people tend to think they are more superior because of all the luxuries that are available. But to me farm people are more down to earth and have alot of faith more than most city people. They live the way people lived in the biblical times.

Because sin is nothing but evil. Jesus Christ absorded and died for our sins but people still commit to sinning and its like they have forgotten or don't care what Jesus did for us. Capricious or uncontrolled anger cause so much grief, harm and pain. It can also result in someone's death. It is basically out and out rage. Anger that brings about justice is the kind that's controlled. It is where you speak your disappovement or disappointment to try to come to a reasonable and understable solution of the problem or situation.

A husband/wife's prayers are hindered because the wife/husband is are to treat each other with love and respect. It is also written how husband/wife are to be treated and if he/she can not obey God's words his/her prayers will not be answered/heard. Basically, he/she becomes and is a hyprogrite and has angered God.

Because as a wife is referred to as the "weaker vessel" it does not mean a wife is weak but needs support, honor, and love. The wife is a part of the husband in every aspect of life. This is what God wants and has been written. Sharing the knowledge, honoring her in the way and loving her in the way God inteded. The self interest is with man and wife dwelling together, honoring each other and sharing the knowledge helps each other grow stronger spiritually and emotionally. This is by no mens meaning "selfishness." This means postive growth. Because husbands misinterpet the words of God and also from negative influence and teachings from generations ag. Must feel that if they dominate the wife that nothing will go wrong and do believe women are weak. Feel that if the wife do not dominate the husband that they will not have individuality. Some just don't plain understand God's words. Women feel that if they do not show domination that they will be taken for granted and ran over. Domination on either part is wrong. Somewhere, somehow, the true meaning of love, honor, obey, and sharing has been lost and in time someone is going to be hurt. God did not put humans on this earth to dominate each other. We are suppose to love and be fruitful. Only domination that has been written is human beings should have domination over animals. If we continue to be dominate over each other we are no more than barbarians.

By loving and living the word of God. Keeping his commandements. To not be corruptible, be meek and have a quiet spirit, have trust in God, being subjection unto own husbands.

Women should look their best not by outward appearance but from within. The beauty that is within shines through to the outer person. Beauty is only skin deep. You can be beautiful on the outside and be ugly on the inside and that inner beauty of ugliness will shine through. Women who count on the outer beauty are superficial. They're only thinking about how they look, if their hair is in place, if their lipsitck is smeared, etc. That beauty does not reflect the inner beauty for the word of God and his commandments. The balance is simple. Concetrate on the inner beauty and it will shine through and then you will have inner peace and beauty and outer beauty. That is what God wants from women: The beauty that is within.

Submission is difficult for humans because no one wants to obey and live by God's law regarding husband and wife. Each one feels that submission is a sign of weakness and giving one control over the other. Subsmission does not require you to be silent when you disagree or feel that something can be improved. You can speak your mind but in a Godly Christian manner. Submission does not take your rights away or opinions away and it does not take your individuality away either. Submission in God's word means respect and honor. Submission is wrong for Christians when you start forcing your beliefs on someone, when you try and control someone's thinking, feelings, emotions, and beliefs. When you try and take someone's individuality away that is wrong.

Sin only has power over us if we let it and don't have faith. We must remember that Satan does not care about us, he uses us and we must fight and pray and tell him to get behind us. But we have to remember also that none of us are perfect and if we do something wrong, we much ask forgiveness and repent. When we ask for forgiveness we must be sincere whole heartedly. Be dead to sin, live righteous and by those stripes we were healed. Die to sin by rebuking it, live righteous. Live for righteousness means to live our life by the scriptures and as God wants us to live. Keep all commandements, have faith, pray, love one another, do not judge others.

The great significance for me personally is peace, love and feel I owe it to live righteous. That's a very heavy burden and task Jesus did for God's children. It makes me very upset at Adam and Eve for listening and trusting the serpent. If they have not done so, just think of the beauty and glory. Just think, no suffering and no sin.

When our sins were poured in his body he took on all of our sins. He was sinless and righteous and in that respect he partook on our sufferings and sins in order for us to be clean and righteous. A sinless man would do what he's suppose to do but it would be hard. There's no other perfect but the Father.

Jesus suffered and died for us all. We should follow in his footsteps.

Christ was judged fasely, convicted falsely and yet he did not threaten or complain. He also suffered and did not threaten or complain. Doing all these things he left us an example. Regardless how I am treated and judged by others, I will continue to standfast and live righteously. Not going to let what others think of me change the way I live and think. Going to turn the other cheek.

If we have conscience toward God and endure grief the suffering is wrong. For if we are buffeted for our faults we should take it patiently. But if we do well in our workplace and still suffer because we do well, we should also take it patiently because this is what God wants. But I will be the first to admit that it is hard and hurtful when as an employee have to endure and suffer cruel treatment when doing a good job in the workplace. Alot of times it is fear that causes employers to treat employees badly. There's been many times that a project was developed but I seen where it could be improved to greatly help the company and I would submit my suggestions (as we were told to do) but after the submission life in the workplace was very difficult but the funny thing about it was the suggestions were used but the credit went to the one who developed the project. That was fine because I knew that God knew who and where the ideas came from. That was all the credit and recognition that I needed.

We must be aware of our employers and must obey the rules. We dishonor God by not obeying God's Commandments and disobeying the laws of the land.

With the will of God we must put ignorance of foolish men to sleep (silence). Because we are free we must not be malicious and be servants of God. God is very hurt when we get rebellious. Why? Because we are taking away what God wants.

Verse 12 reads: Having your conversations honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, whick they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Which translates in my opinion: Speaking honestly to the Gentiles will not stop them from calling you an evildoer or stop speaking agianst you. Most people have their own thoughts and beliefs and when you speak the truth they do not want to hear it. But by speaking honestly you are doing God's good work and when God comes you will behold him and glorify his name, glorify Him. But if you continue speaking honestly, the Gentiles will begin to hear and listen and see the truth and the light and when God comes they will behold him and glorify his name, glorify him.

Mindset of a Priest is that he/she is a servant/messenger for God. We as children of God must live and teach the commandments, spread the love and joy and word of God and acknowledge him as our Father.

Are to abstain from fleshly **** which war against the soul. In other words, do not be engulfed with the sin of ****. Remember that fleshly **** is not love, that it is a sin and harmful to your soul.

Show praises of him because he has called us out of darkness into his marvellous light.

By spiritual sacrifices that's acceptable for God by Jesus Christ.

Will receive salvation because we believe in what we can not see and love what we can not see and rejoice with unspeakable joy and full of glory. Gives us great joy in our heart and soul that we can believe and love even though we can not see and receive salvation of our soul. Our hearts and minds are at ease because we know that we can not feel any content of having these types of feelings and believes but with God the Father and Jesus Christ. Why? Because He is our Father, our Protector and Jesus is our attorney and will fight for us when judgment day comes. Emotionally uplifting. We feel good about ourselves because regardless of the temptations we face we stand fast and hold on to God's unchanging hand. Pursuit of happiness - typically means striving to have things here on earth (material things). With this if these things are not achived we tend to get either jealous, angry, depressed, and/or resentful. With God there's no ifs, ands, or buts. God is holy, God is almighty, God is never changing, God loves unconditionally. Extra Credit: Geniune Article of Joy - Many blessings are received, prayers are answered, glorious feeling of contentment. Having unspeakable joy and your soul full of glory. Feeling of self-worth and value and most of all you can geel God's love. Counterfeit Article of Joy - Blessings and prayers are heard but not received. Temptations are not guarded, receiving riches but you are still not content. One mistake is when believing the riches are from God when in fat they are not. Life is still in turmoil and unhappiness is ten-fold. False feeling or self-worth and value, and can not feel the joy and glory of God's love.

I have at times felt no worth and no value but I remember that if no one else loves me or believe that I am not of value or worth that God loves me and that as a child of God I am valuable and worthy. We are not valued on riches (what possessions we have). God loves us unconditionally. Whatever riches (possessions) we have whether inheritated or accumalated through life we can bot take it with us, you should help your fellow man. That's what's wrong with the world today. There's too much greed and not enough compassion. True long-term investment is not with material things but my belief, faith, and love for the scriptures and for The Father, The Son, and Holy Spirit. Why? Because I want to go to heaven, have everlasting life, live without the illnesses and pains that I suffer from each and everyday of my life.
