Doctrine – Bible Thought of the Day

Doctrine

Sin

Jason -

May 22

It’s bad. Don’t do it.

Doctrine

Holy, Clean and Unclean

Jason -

May 15

Three confusing words in the Old Testament, all dealing with how we can be close to God (or not).

Doctrine

Levites

Jason -

May 8

In general, members of the tribe of Levi (one of the 12 clans of Israel), and the only tribe with a specific mission – Levites were either priests or assistants to the priests.

Doctrine

Priests

Jason -

May 1

Not the Catholic kind; we’re talking about men in the Old Testament who offered sacrifices in the temple and tabernacle.

Doctrine

The Name of God

Jason -

Apr 24

It’s YHWH, an acronym of sorts.

Doctrine

The Devil

Jason -

Apr 17

Satan (Job 1:6), the serpent (Gen 3:1), the “prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2), “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31), “the tempter” (1Th 3:5).

Doctrine

Not eating for some reason. In the Old Testament, the examples I see are all negative, basically – it’s to repent of sin or mourn a death. In the New Testament, it seems more of a deep devotion to God – for Jews and Christians.

Doctrine

Feasts

Jason -

Apr 3

Leviticus 23 describes seven feasts (festivals) for Jews to observe every year. They are Jewish holidays – as in “time off” but also the literal idea of “holy days.”

Doctrine

The Altar

Jason -

Mar 20

An altar is for sacrifices. It’s not where people get married or “left at the altar” – not in the Bible. An altar is for sacrifices.

Doctrine

Love Thy Neighbor

Jason -

Mar 13

Leviticus 19:18, “you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.” Did you expect this to be a lesson from the Old Testament? And it’s not just this one verse; the Torah and prophets are riddled with commands about this.
