the way of God more perfectly - Acts 18:26

with the Scriptures Rightly Divided - II
Timothy 2:15

Before we hear of The Great Turn...
...we must, of course, take a gander at some
wrongly divided turns:
Matthew 5:39 - turn the other cheek
Matthew 5:42 - not turn down the
other's request
Matthew 7:6 - not give that which
is holy to dogs, ... turn again and rend you.
(Note: they still had to - the GC; and they are being
turned again on... today's treatment of the Jews... - and for those folks
who claim the Beatitudes, I would be curious as to who they think the dogs
are today)
We must look at the rightly
divided turn - TO THE LIVING GOD!
Acts 13:44-52 - turn unto the Gentiles
(note
my correction of 'holy women' to 'honourable women')
Acts 14:15 - from vanities unto
the LIVING GOD
(Note: See verses 11,13 for
vanities)
or
Acts 17:22 - the UNKNOWN GOD
Acts 26:15-20 (note vs
21) -
Darkness to Light - vs
18
Power of Satan unto God - vs
18
Repent - Turn to God - Do Works - vs
20
WE TURN TO THE LIVING GOD
Galatians 4:8,9 - But
now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn
ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to
be in bondage?
Weak and beggarly elements - All lead to bondage!

Fables:
Titus 1:14 - Jewish
fables and commandments of men
Romans 1:23 -
to a corruptible God
Romans 1:25 - worship
the creature
Romans 1:26 - a
life against nature
-
II Timothy 3:1-5,6 - people who are
as described...
There is an eternal status we will be turned
into...
-
I Corinthians 15:51-54 - Behold,
I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to
pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
-
Philippians 3:20,21 - For
our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned
like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able
even to subdue all things unto himself.
-
I Thessalonians 4:15-18
- For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive
and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are
asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so
shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these
words.
But what is the "GREAT Turn?"
Very few make this turn!
This may even be why our friends and family still don't listen to or
believe us!
