The Parable of the Ten Virgins Explained

[DavidTree]

Well...it's starts out from you first. Then Peter said unto them, "repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38).

Two things have to be done first, repent and then baptized. You must give up a lifestyle where sin has dominion, (ruler ship) over you. Sin according to 1 John 3:4, Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression (breaking) of the law. You must be taught "The Word", before you can adhere to God's commandments (judgments\statues). These laws are found in the Holy Bible; beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation.

I've done these things, so yes I can see.

Now seek, pray and ask for the Promise of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Luke 3:16

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matt 3:16

Acts 1:4-5 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem,
but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

 

[DavidTree]

Jesus Christ told Mary not to touch Him because He had not yet ascended to the Father…

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”
John 20:17 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=John 20:17&version=NKJV

Jesus telling Mary to not touch Him has absolutely NOTHING to do with anyone being or not being an Apostle.

Correct, and after HE ascended and came back HE went FIRST to the man - just as HE did in Genesis.

The Order that God created is Man first.
Woman was created from man and HE will never reverse or annul that Order - but satan will.

The ONLY Order that will never reverse or annul is….

Christ is FIRST, then His Body and in His Body is neither male or female. All Believers are equal.

Male and female is only in the marriage covenant.

Stay in your misguided belief - this is a common theme amongst christians, to selectively pick out scripture verses for their own desires.

Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. - Apostle Paul

2Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
3But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. 6For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
8For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
9Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
11Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.
12For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

This is the established Order by God and in this life it will never be voided, annulled or bypassed by God.

In this life, right now on planet Earth the Body of Christ is and in His Body there is neither male or female. All Believers are equal.

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:27-28 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Galatians 3:27-28&version=NKJV

Yet, in the marriage covenant right now on planet Earth is male and female.

And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Try as you may, God will never change His Order - Genesis
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; #1 male and #2 female He created them.

What God hates has become a main principle in the world.
A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing,
for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this. - Deut 22:5

#1 comes before #2 - SEE the True Apostle Paul - 1 Timothy 2 and

I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

Truth 101 - No women were ever chosen to be a Apostle. Women are not to exalt themselves above a man - Order of God.

Oh dear....talking about the clothing is like straining over a gnat and swallowing a whole camel....lol!

Dear David,

Now, that Christ has risen AND given the Holy Spirit to both men and women...the whole playing field has changed.

In the Marriage Covenant there is male and female.

In the Body of Christ there is NO male or female.

Men and Women that are saved, filled with the Holy Spirit and have become The Body of Christ in the Earth take their direction from their ONLY Head which is Christ ALONE.

A Man can function as Apostle, Evangelist, Prophet, Pastor and Teacher in The Body of Christ AND function as Husband who is the Head of the Marriage Covenant between man and woman but he is NOT head of women in The Body of Christ because there are NO male and female in the Body of Christ.

Likewise, a Woman can function as Apostle, Evangelist, Prophet, Pastor and Teacher in The Body of Christ AND function as Wife by submitting to her Husband in the Marriage Covenant between man and woman; however, in the Body of Christ she submits to Christ ALONE, NOT her husband.

The five fold ministry of apostles, evangelists, prophets, pastors and teachers is in full force operating now for the edifying of the BODY OF CHRIST, NOT to edify a man or a woman.

BOTH MEN and WOMEN need to take their place IN THE BODY OF CHRIST and begin to function in their calling which can be any of the five fold ministries... ALL working by the power of the Holy Spirit so that the WHOLE Many Membered Body of Christ is EDIFIED, amen!

Try as you may, you cannot remove Mary Magdalene's role as an apostle... given by Jesus.

Exalt? The word is usurp.

Oh Dear, are you decieved...........follow your false apostle.

 

[DavidTree]

Try as yo may - no woman was ever a apostle - not one scripture will support your belief.

 

[Lafftur]

No David, I do not follow any false apostle, nor do I follow True Apostles....

I ONLY follow Christ, led by the Holy Spirit and I am EDIFIED by True Apostles, Evangelists, Prophets, Pastors and Teachers in the Body of Christ. Hallelujah!

 

[DavidTree]

No David, I do not follow any false apostle, nor do I follow True Apostles....

Stay with following Christ and do not add or take away from Scripture as it is your LIFE.

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight.

Every word of God is flawless;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words,
lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

 

[Lafftur]

Going back to the original topic of the Parable of the Ten Virgins....

The oil is DEFINITELY the Holy Spirit. I also believe the "lamps" to be The Word of God - the Scriptures. God's Word is a LAMP to our feet and a LIGHT to our path.

During the day, all lamps look a like....but at night only lamps with oil are full of light....

Matthew 25:1-3

King James Version

25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

There's really soooooo much in this parable of the ten virgins... let's glean the parable together! I love going deep into the scriptures...so MANY treasures that give life!

 

[Lafftur]

The only way our "lamps" can give us light is when the Holy Spirit gives us understanding of the scriptures....

 

[DavidTree]

No David, I do not follow any false apostle, nor do I follow True Apostles....

I ONLY follow Christ, led by the Holy Spirit and I am EDIFIED by True Apostles, Evangelists, Prophets, Pastors and Teachers in the Body of Christ. Hallelujah!

i forgot to add - and know that i love you for you are my Sister in Christ and if you ever where to meet my wife and i you would see that we share the same understanding of Galatians.
i prefer to allow the balance of all Scripture by being subject to ALL of it for our protection and obedience to Christ.

Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

 

[Magenta]

Try as yo may - no woman was ever a apostle - not one scripture will support your belief.

Jesus sent Mary with one of the most important messages of the gospel: His
resurrection. Seems you wish to deny this. Your definition of apostle suffers.

Arrogance is when a person seeks to impose their limited knowledge upon the word of God.

From 1 Cor 15:14-18

I love you, too brother David...in Christ!

I think it would be so God if He gave your wife the anointing of an Apostle.....lol!
That would be just like God to do that! lol!

She's still your wife in the marriage but NOT in the Body of Christ.

 

[DavidTree]

From 1 Cor 15:14-18

So you also are a Apostle, same as Peter, Paul and John???

 

[Absolutely]

The only way our "lamps" can give us light is when the Holy Spirit gives us understanding of the scriptures....

Yes
And the light is specifically to illuminate.
Illuminate our path
Our reading
Our contacts( people....lamp on a table vs under it)

And other dynamics


The Holy Spirit baptism

Jesus said don't do anything.
don't go out .
don't start a Ministry .
don't do anything until you get the baptism of the Holy Spirit

The upper room first
Everything else second

 

[DavidTree]

I love you, too brother David...in Christ!

I think it would be so God if He gave your wife the anointing of an Apostle.....lol!
That would be just like God to do that! lol!

She's still your wife in the marriage but NOT in the Body of Christ.

Dear Sister, satanism 101 is 'exalt the woman above the man' = disrupt God's Order.

No matter how hard you try
God will not deny
His appointed Man
that unfolds His Plan
satan will
on the other hand
substitue a woman
for the man
for he knows that she
was not the first, but He
