Pharmakeia Details in The Word of God

Classic Christianity – Book of Hebrews P20 (10-11-23)

Jesus, God in Flesh is/was the Only Truly Normal Man From God’s Perspective

~ We live in a world where man sets himself up as the final authority on all things instead of God. We ignore the word of God and go to all types of human institutions to try and figure ourselves and our children out. We pump ourselves up with pharmakeia (drugs and poisons) in order to try and change our behaviors. And even in fear we take things that quite frankly are what the word of God refers to as sorcery, pharmakeia. But most don’t believe that. They continue to trust in man instead of God. Take a close look at the details of the word pharmakeia in Greek. It’s directly where we get big pharma from, and it means exactly what it says below. Pay attention to the details.

Jesus Made You Holy

Classic Christianity – Book of Hebrews P19 (10-10-23)

Spiritual Gifts Are Given by God For The Common Good of The Body of Christ Jesus

~ A reminder, that programs are repeated a bit from the previous day. And the following is being repeated and needs to be understood in the details. The Holy Spirit wants us to know and understand this, and take it to heart. Spiritual gifts are given by God, and not everyone is given the same spiritual gifts. And those gifts are given by God, for the common good of the body of Christ Jesus to be used down here on earth as God decides and for HIS purpose. We don’t decide to get a gift from Him. He decides what gifts to give and to whom. And as such, repeating again the following: “the body of Christ is here to serve each other as the Holy Spirit has assignments for each of us. We may not even recognize our assignments at the time, but God knows what he would have each of us do and say. However, we are not to be thinking of ourselves as more special than we ought. For there are no “big deals” with God.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Make Your Body Available to Jesus

Classic Christianity – Book of Hebrews P18 (10-09-23)

Allow The Holy Spirit to Use You For The Common Good of The Body of Christ

~ The body of Christ is here to serve each other as the Holy Spirit has assignments for each of us. We may not even recognize our assignments at the time, but God knows what he would have each of us do and say. However, we are not to be thinking of ourselves as more special than we ought. For there are no “big deals” with God. There is just Him and His body living in and through each of us. And a reminder, it is not even ourselves that are doing things. It is God doing His work in and through us. All we can do is make ourselves (our bodies as a living sacrifice) available to him for service. That is our proper worship. And remember, if you are in Christ and He is in you, then you are a living soul because of the Holy Spirit living in you. We are talking about the true temple of God. For God built His temple not with human hands, but with the Holy Spirit living in each and every believer.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Jesus Made us The New Temple of God

Classic Christianity – The Book of John P71 (07-18-23)

Jesus Cleansed The Temple of God at The Cross

~ Most people don’t understand what Jesus really came to do the first time he was here. Jesus actually came to cleanse the temple and the future temple of God. People read the story of Jesus driving out the moneychangers from the temple and don’t have a clue that it was a picture of Him actually making the new temple, the temple of God, children of God, pure and a house of prayer. For anyone in Christ Jesus today, we are the temple of God and we are told that in Scripture. Jesus cleaned that temple at the cross. He got rid of all of our sins and took those upon himself and cleansed them never to see them again, so thus when the Holy Spirit comes to live in every believer through becoming born again of the Spirit of God, He has made us permanently pure forever by His death on the cross so that sin would no longer have a hold on us in His life. He was victorious over sin for us at the cross, so that we can become the righteousness of God in Him at our moment of becoming born again of the Spirit of God.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Present With The Lord

Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P821 (03-30-23)

Absent From The Body and Present With the Lord

~ “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8

~ Bob George
“Well, it says in Second Corinthians doesn’t it, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. And that’s talking about death. That’s when you’re absent from the body and present with the Lord. This is talking about end times. And so it says about brothers that don’t want you to be ignorant about the subjects now again, Andrew, we have to realize that punctuation is not there’s no inerrancy and punctuation. The Greek language in which the Bible is written had no periods or commas, do you understand that? There were no capitalization, there was nothing there was just written. So there’s no inerrancy, about punctuation. And so sometimes you have to be careful with where people in their translation put the periods and the commas. But let’s just go on with verse 13. There, I don’t want you to be ignorant about those who have fallen asleep or to grieve like the rest of them.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Classic Christianity and Growing in Grace of Jesus

Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P661 (08-13-21)

Addressing Music Style, Modesty and Behavior in the Church

Common questions asked in the church are about proper behavior, music styles and modesty in the church assembly (see 1 Corinthians 6 in regard to lawsuits among believers or sexual immorality and 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 in regard to the abuse of the Lord’s Supper). A youth pastor might wonder about how to address those under his care on matters of dress code. At times, this can be a legalistic problem, and best left to the mother of her daughter to address, as addressed in a previous call-in program, in regard to skirts below the knee. As another example, a camp director was overbearing on such a matter, and forbade different sexes to be swimming together. As Bob had remarked to the camp director, that it is okay for he and his wife to sleep together in the privacy of their home but not to be swimming together in decency and modesty in a public place. As another example of legalistic behavior, that could be insisting that your church only serves the Lord’s Supper with real wine. In such a case, a pastor would be wise to serve grape juice instead, because he is making his decision based on love, to not cause a stumbling block to a person who is addicted to wine, such as an alcoholic (refer to 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 in regards to Love being your guide).… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message
