The Lightkeepers discussion

Hey everyone! I thought it would be fun if we started doing either weekly and/or monthly Bible studies together! We could all vote on a book of the Bible or some chapters to read and then talk about it at the end of the week or month. What do you guys think?

Love that!❤️

Yay!!! Thank you!

I'm gonna make some polls to vote on whether we should do weekly or monthly Bible studies, and what our first one should be on!

How's everyone doing with our month of Psalms?

Psalms 22 is so good!! My understanding is that Jesus was proclaiming victory on the cross when He says, “Father, why have You forsaken Me?” I say this because Psalm 22 starts that way, prophecies His death, then gives God glory for being who He is. It makes so much sense to me that way. What do y’all think?

Gooood 👍🙂‍↕️

I do love how many cross references there are in Psalms!!!

Leif and Timothy, I agree. Many people believe Jesus is calling out to God because he was abandoned by the Father, temporarily destroying the trinity. I personally believe he was proclaiming his victory. He was referencing the Psalms when he said, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” When Jesus rode again, he came back triumphant with the keys to hades, Sheol, or death. He was proclaiming his victory over it. 1 Peter 3 says, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.”

If you read the original Aramaic, the word proclaimed also means gloated. So in context, Jesus went and gloated to the spirits in prison. People also argue that Jesus can’t have gloated because he is free of sin, but they are most likely defining gloated wrong. Merriam Webster dictionary defines gloating as “observing or thinking about something with triumphant and often malicious satisfaction, gratification, or delight.” As humans, we tend to gloat with malicious satisfaction, such as gloating over the downfall of a political rival or such. Jesus however, is incapable of sin, and did not have malicious intent, the key word here being “often.”

So sorry, everyone, for the typo today!!! It should say 103-107. Not 1027

Np!
