Oh, most of us don’t even question. We just use the threads to exchange poetry, discuss our personal lives, and make jokes.
I suppose it’s not Nice.

Try THE MESSAGE version:
Exodus 28:36-38 (The Message)
The Turban, Tunic, Underwear
36-38 “Make a plate of pure gold. Engrave on it as on a seal: ‘Holy to God.’ Tie it with a blue cord to the front of the turban. It is to rest there on Aaron’s forehead. He’ll take on any guilt involved in the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate, no matter what they bring. It will always be on Aaron’s forehead so that the offerings will be acceptable before God.
It’s merely God’s rule for them at that time. If the Israelites goofed somehow in their offering . . . or perhaps even deliberately short changed God . . . this gold emblem on Aaron’s turban would signify that God would overlook the problem because of His relationship with Aaron, in behalf of the people.
In a sense, even though it was a kind of structured law issue, it was also emphasizing that RELATIONSHIP was God’s priority—and His RELATIONSHIP with Aaron was illustrative to the Israelites as a very high priority worthy great support and respect—for their sake.
Well, this is a blog post, I went to the site (even though I suspected it was) and guess what! You can buy his book there, for $20.00.
Just get away from any lightening, I say! ;-)
Yeah, I know what you mean. At first, I was like, WHOA, is THIS one and his cronies for real??? And then it SADLY became amusing...
If it makes you feel better, NONE of it makes sense to me.
This is my Shannon:
Sort of like Aaron was the Pope, or something.
As far as I can tell, the poster is saying that we should believe in God, believe in Jesus the Messiah, and live righteous lives, because eventually Christ will return to judge the world and we’ll be sorry if we blew it.
An interesting analogy.
Perhaps in some respects.
Even more so than the Pope in some respects.
Aaron really could call fire down out of Heaven, should it be required.
Well, if God Almighty decides it "should be required" He won't need anyone human like Aaron to "call fire down out of Heaven." I don't recall that Aaron did any deciding outside of God's Will.
Thanks!
I don't recall that Aaron did any deciding outside of God's Will.
The golden calf thing. And two of his sons were into "innovative worship".
Duh, of course! Thanks. But no calling down fire from the sky, right?
The placard goes on the priests forehead
HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
As the word says “ be holy as I am holy “
Jesus blood cleansed us from our sins
You know what? I don’t like people blog flogging on the Religion Forum, and I don’t much listen to self-appointed prophets.
Hope you make tons of money off your $20 book, btw.
every word ,” every word” out of our mouth whether twisting someone elses or not will be judged and how we treat our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus .
For those who are seeking the Lord in humbleness and truth, listen to these messages on Holy Fire, Strange Fire by Michael Lake.
Holy Fire, Strange Fire (scroll down to August 2009).
This teaching on Understanding the End Times is also excellent. Understanding the End Times (scroll down almost to the bottom of the page).
