Bible Study 11/22/20 - Leviticus 1-3

We begin the book of Leviticus - starting with the general rules of the offerings and we begin with the burnt offering. The rules of the burnt offering from the cattle, from the flock, or from fowl to atone; The second offering we see is the meal offering and it’s memorial portion. The meal offering is fine flour mixed with oil with frankincense placed upon it; it can be oven baked, pan baked or baked in a deep pan; it can also be a first fruits offering from rape ears parched over fire or ground from plump kernels; The meal offering must always be salted; The final offering we cover is the feast peace offering from the cattle, from the flock or from a goat male or female; The fat and the innards, the diaphragm with the liver, with the kidneys are offered with the feast peace offering, as a fire offering to YHVH. As an internal decree for your generations in all your dwelling places; you may not consume any fat or any blood.

C.R.P. Day 326 - James

If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith with no doubting for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind; my brethren do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory with partiality; what does it profit my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? My brethren let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. Where do you wars in fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
