Hebrews 13

Love In A Social Realm

1 Let brotherly love continue.

2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Love In A Religious Realm

7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Conclusion

18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

Love, Walter and Debbie

"Divers" means many or various, while "strange" means alien or foreign to Bible truth. The New Testament is full of warnings about false doctrines and false teachers. Many people have been deceived by false teachings which appear to be biblical but are in fact contradictory to sound doctrine. There could be many reasons why so many have become adherents to various cults but in the end it is probably because they have not carefully studied the Bible for themselves. It takes considerable effort to rightly divide the Word of Truth.

Going back to the first century, false teachers had begun to spring up even in the apostolic churches, and there were two major trends in this regarding. On one hand there were the Judaizers and on the other hand there were the Gnostics (who actually corrupted the Scriptures to accommodate their false ideas, and also published many false gospels). There were also other kinds of deceivers as we see in the letters to the seven churches. The Lord Jesus Christ warned Christians that before His Second Coming this would happen. And Paul said that there would be a great apostasy in Christendom before the coming of the Antichrist.

Throughout church history Christians have be battling false teachings. The Reformation was all about getting back to the Bible and sound doctrine, but even there the Reformers did not totally abandon man-made ideas. And in response to the Reformation, the Catholic church mounted a Counter-Reformation to ensure that their false teachings would continue.

Things have become exponentially worse today, and there is a whole raft of false apostles, false prophets, and false teachers, trying to mislead gullible, or misinformed, or poorly taught Christians. Too many evangelical churches have neglected to systematically teach sound doctrine from the Bible, and thus opened to door to false teachings. At the same time modern bible versions have been leading people astray. And now some churches and denominations have decided to support the LGBTQ agenda, even though the Bible is very clear about sexual perversions.
 
Amen , it was always the plan but this part became a vail that god it away from man

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

…Wherefore then serveth the law?

It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:10-12, 19‬ ‭

This part hides Christ and is only a shadow of the gospel like looking through a dark veil

“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭23:20-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

That’s not the same ordination as this

And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭7:48‬ ‭

“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:22, 24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So this part

“And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.”
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭15:32, 35-36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Isnt actually this

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

but he was always there in prophecy as well as presence

“When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (for the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭4:30-31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

a ot the one with the children on Sinai through the angels , but with Abraham Isaac and Jacob the fathers the one of promise to all nations before the law


“The time of the law is like this

“and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: but their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:13-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And the disposition is of the angels who won’t forgive in Gods name , Jesus does and will nave no mercy on the sinner put them to death v I came to call the sinners to repentance and give them life

Jesus is like he was in the beginning and after the generation of the law who all died on the desert when he gave Moses the second commandments

There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. ( Roman’s 6-8)

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

( so how can we start to do this ?)


Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: in the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. ( past sinful life )

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: ( Christian’s who are shaped after believing in Christ and the gospel )

where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.


Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, ( he just explained jew and gentile alike are included in this group of elect through Christ now he further instructs them all )

bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:1-13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

all of these qualities we learn over time and patient belief of the gospel we learn repentance and righteousness over a lifetime of looking up rather than in front of our eyes ( by faith in his word of promise rather than what we see ) striving and hoping in the everlasting promise of God to his elect in the name his son Jesus Christ
