Puritan Reform Society

by gman4326:

In an P.R Society every home is a sanctuary where household worship takes place however
there are limits to freedom of speech those who are not baptized can not participate in voting of civil officials, giving sanctuary does not mean being allowed to public promulgate of ones views for if the magistrate finds out it means either heavy fines or execution; public order does not guarantee freedom from persecution those who take their orders from the magistrate will only protect those who are baptized citizens aka one of them. In China those who want access to civil pay need to take an exam which means learning the magistrates tongue this was the case in christian Europe however the humanist Europe of today has forgotten the lessons of the past, a single pay language is poor substitute for peace and harmony, if the asian despot understands this but "christian America" doesn't than we have the lost the war to the enemies at our gates.

Christian Social Theory

by Gman4326

 System of Thought has consequences!

  Christian social theory is that there is a mandate that must be fulfilled in each generation how we go about it is by applying the data from general Revelation given to man over a 4000 year period.

Special Revelation as stated in Hebrew 1:1

Starting with Moses in 5 books, Samuel (book of Joshua to 1 Samuel) Nehemiah his own journal, (1 Samuel - 1 Chronicles) Ezra his own journal (1 Chronicles 2 Chronicles, Psalms, Proverbs, and Job) Prophet writing his own book Isaiah, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes Jeremiah his own work and Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel and the minor in their own hand.

New Testament Synoptic gospel as created by Origen Adamantius (Matthew, mark, Luke, and john) each in their own hand Dr. Luke wrote the book Acts, Paul who helped him shape Luke, written the letters romans thru Hebrews, historically Hebrews was penned by Luke in Aramaic and Paul in common Greek in the first century, James in his own hand, 1 and 2 peter author the Apostle John Mark was the Scribe, 1 John in the hand of the Apostle 2 and 3rd John in a different hand as well as Revelation, Jude in the hand of Jude. This is our primary source.

 Imagery is using Nature which God created to help explain the world in which we live in.

Birth announced Typology

Genesis 18

10 Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year,

and your wife Sarah will have a son!” 

Now Sarah was behind him, listening at the entrance to the tent.

Judges 13

6 Then the woman went to her husband and told him, 

“A man of God came to me. He looked like an angel of God, 

very awesome. I didn’t ask him where he came from, and he didn’t

tell me his name. 7 But he said to me, 

‘You will become pregnant and have a son. 

Now then, drink no wine or other fermented drink

and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from the womb until the day of his death.’”

Isaiah 9 Jesus birth prophesied

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, 

and the government will be upon His shoulders. 

And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, 

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

Micah 5 Bethlehem prophesied

2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are small among the clans of Judah,

out of you will come forth for Me One to be ruler over Israel, 

whose origins are of old, from the days of eternity. 

Fulfilled

Matthew 2

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, 

“Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? 

We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

Luke 2

1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, 

each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee,

from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, 

which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house 

and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, 

his betrothed, who was with child. 

6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.

7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in

swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, 

because there was no place for them in the inn.

Betrayal and Arrested Typology

Genesis 39 Joseph falsely accused

20 So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where

the king’s prisoners were confined. 

While Joseph was there in the prison

Judges 15 Samson Betrayed and Arrested

12 But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you and hand you over

to the Philistines.” Samson replied, “Swear to me you that you will not 

kill me yourselves.”

Jeremiah is Arrested and Imprisoned

38 Mattan’s son Shephatiah, Pashur’s son Gedaliah, 

Shelemiah’s son Jucal, and Malchijah’s son Pashur heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking to all the people: 

2 “This is what the Lord says: ‘Whoever stays in this city will die by the

sword, by famine, and by the plague, but the one who goes over to the

Chaldeans will live. His life will be spared, and he will live.’ 

3 This is what the Lord says: ‘This city will surely be given to the army

of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.’”

4 Then the officials told the king, 

“Let this man be put to death because he’s undermining the efforts 

of the soldiers who remain in this city and that of all the people by 

speaking words like these to them. Indeed, this man is not seeking the

well-being of this people, but rather their harm.”

5 King Zedekiah said, “Look, he’s in your hands, 

and the king can do nothing to you.” 

6 So they threw Jeremiah into a cistern that belonged to the king’s

son Malchijah and was located in the courtyard of the guard. 

When they let Jeremiah down with ropes, because there was no water 

in the cistern—only mud—Jeremiah sank into the mud.

Daniel 6

16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel 

and threw him into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel,

“May your God, whom you serve continually , deliver you!”

Amount prophesied

Zechariah 11

12 Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; 

but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of

silver. 

13 And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter,” this magnificent

price at which they valued me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver 

and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane

Matthew 26

47 And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, 

with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests

and elders of the people.

48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, 

“Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 

49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed

Him.

50 But Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have you come?”

Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 

51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand

and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his

ear.

52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the

sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to

My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?

54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?”

55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against

a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching

in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 

56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be 

fulfilled.”

Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

Mark 14

43 And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve,

with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests 

and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now His betrayer had given them a signal,

saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him 

and lead Him away safely.”

45 As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him,

“Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46 Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him. 47 And one of those who

stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, 

and cut off his ear.

48 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out, 

as against a robber, 

with swords and clubs to take Me? 49 I was daily with you in the

temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. 

But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

50 Then they all forsook Him and fled.

Luke 22

47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was

called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. 

He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him,

“Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord,

should we strike with our swords?” 

50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, 

cutting off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear

and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard,

and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you

have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple

courts,

and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns.”

John 18

12 Then the band of soldiers, with its commander 

and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
