    intro

    Im saved seeking to know Christ better as I have suffered stagnated spiritual growth. got saved 9 yrs ago. favourite passage in bible is hebrews 2:6....

    But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? 7Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
    8Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
    9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
    10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
    11For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
    12Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
    13And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
    14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

    Hey Jungle Forest,

    What is it about those verses that speaks to you? No wrong answers, I just want to get to know you better.

    Yours in Christ,

        Re: intro

        Hi,

        The thing that speaks to me about the passages is the love that God and His Son have for man.....

        First the question that 'What is man, that thou art mindful of him'? who am i that He is mindful of me, that he cares about my destiny? that He sets man a little lower than angels and gives him dominion over the works HIS hands? the works of God's hands?

        ...then He goes on and makes Jesus like man - who by the grace of God should taste death for every man, crowned with glory and honour! by His 'lowering, suffering and death, Christ becomes our High Priest! - For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things

        Yet Christ is not ashamed of us, even after having to go through all that pain and suffering for us? He calls us brothers - I will declare thy name unto my brethren..... Behold I and the children which God hath given me.....

        we are partakers of flesh and blood... im just flesh and blood.... but He also himself likewise took part of the same;...he became like me.... that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;..... that i may live eternally!!!

        What kind of Love is this????

            Presbyterian? Don't they let women speak in church?

            1 Timothy 2:12 (King James Version) 12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
