Download or read book A Bride Without a Blessing written by David Brodsky and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2006 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Brodsky uses form and source criticism to date Massekhet Kallah and the first two chapters of Kallah Rabbati - which form a commentary on Massekhet Kallah - to the mid-amoraic period (circa late third and early fifth centuries CE respectively), and to locate their redaction in Babylonia. This makes these two sources the only known rabbinic texts whose final redaction took place in Babylonia during the amoraic period, and establishes them as the closest extant relatives of the Babylonian Talmud. Parallels between these two sources and the Babylonian Talmud elucidate the nature of oral transmission and of the redactional processes of Babylonian rabbinic material during this critical period, and, thereby, of the Babylonian Talmud itself. In addition, the author deciphers Massekhet Kallah's peculiar asceticism: a concern with men's inappropriate use of or interactions with their wives, charity, vows, and even with the group's own transmitted traditions. Massekhet Kallah fears the physical and at times cosmic effects of such inappropriate behavior. Brodsky finds that these items were all deemed consecrated, removed from the realm of normal interaction. To have mundane interaction with them was a powerful and dangerous act. Brodsky explores the fascinating gender and theological implications of this unique asceticism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SMITH WIGGLESWORTH *Let us be careful that we do not in any way defile the BODY because GOD is chastening the BODY and fitly framing it and bringing it together. The BRIDE of CHRIST will rise. You ask, "How will it rise?" It will rise in millions, and billions and trillions, more than any man can number. It will be a perfect BRIDE.*Oh, the BRIDE appearing as one BRIDE! The same joy, the same peace, the same hope! No division, all one in CHRIST! What a BRIDE! Who can make a BRIDE like that? It seems to me that this BRIDE is made deep in the cross. *The Word is "His Voice," and, as we get nearer to JESUS, we understand the principles of His mission; that He came to take out for Himself a people that they might be called "His Bride." He came to find "a BRIDE." GOD's message to us to-night is that He is going to take out of His Body a Bride unto Himself, and so I believe that while we talk about salvation there are deeper truths that GOD wants to show us. * The plan of the CHURCH (The BRIDE) was that everything, even of the natural order, must be sanctified unto GOD, for the CHURCH (The BRIDE) had to be a HOLY GHOST CHURCH (The BRIDE). Beloved, God has never ordained anything less! *Thought for today: When we think that the CHURCH (The BRIDE) is poor and needy, we forget that the spirit of intercession can unlock every blessing in Heaven.*" Let us not forget that possessing the Baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT, means there must be an "ever-increasing" holiness. How the CHURCH (The BRIDE) needs divine unction-GOD's presence and power so manifested that the world will know it is GOD in us. "* Do not forget that GOD means for us to be very faithful to the CHURCH (The BRIDE) so that we do not allow anything to come into the CHURCH (The BRIDE) to break up the BRIDE. You cannot find anything in the BRIDE in its relation to CHRIST that has schism in it. CHRIST's life in the BRIDE--there is not schism in that. When CHRIST's life comes into the CHURCH (The BRIDE), there will be no discord; there will be a perfect blending of heart and hand, and it will be lovely. Endeavor "to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." *Bring unity in the bonds of perfection so that the CHURCH (The BRIDE) of GOD will receive edification. Then the CHURCH (The BRIDE) will begin to be built up in the faith, and the establishing of the truth, and believers will be one. There is one BRIDE. Recognize that fact. When schism comes into the BRIDE, believers must never act as though there is more than one BRIDE. * If you want a CHURCH (The BRIDE) full of life you must have one in which the Spirit of God is manifested. And in order to keep the fire ignited from that blessed incarnation of the Spirit, you must be as simple as babies; you must be as harmless as doves and as wise as serpents (Matthew 10:16).*The moment you are born of GOD, you are in the family, and you are in the BRIDE, as He is in the BRIDE, and you are in the BRIDE collectively and particularly. After you come into the BRIDE, then the BRIDE has to receive the sealing of the promise, or the fulfillment of the promise, that CHRIST will be in you, reigning in you mightily.

Download or read book Who s Bride Are You the Bride of Jesus Christ Or the Bride of This World written by Dolores Knight and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a wake-up call for the bride of Christ. Early in the morning, the spirit of God spoke unto me: "Daughter, it's time to awaken my bride, for I'm soon coming to take my bride home"-meaning, my true bride to warn or to awaken the body of Christ, who is sleeping. He said time is running out. That's why it's so important to be watchful and alert and to know the bridegroom. This book will teach you to know him as your bridegroom. It will teach you to know his voice. It will teach you how to have a personal relationship with him. This book will have every Christian taking inventory of their lifestyle and the example they are living here on earth. It will teach you how to make ready for his coming. It will teach you to have a personal experience with him on daily basis. It teaches you how to let the Holy Spirit lead you and direct you in the right path. It teaches you to make the right decisions in life. It teaches you how to change your way of speaking, have the angels of God on your side, and have heaven backing you up. It will teach you to have understanding about the bridegroom and why God created you. It also tells of the visions God gave me concerning his brides and why most of the body of Christ will not be ready for his coming. It will also give you revelations and how to discern the time of his coming, so that he may find you, and how to discern the time of his coming, so that he may find you ready and waiting. The sign and the time are here. Look and open your eyes. Things are happening in this world today that you wouldn't think or imagine to happen-signs of wars, the killing of Christians, storms, famines, a new generation of power. What's in it for me? I hope and pray you make ready for the biggest wedding that's about to take place.
