art questions

this was supposed to be like oooooh send in a number and i'll answer it but i don't feel like waiting i wanted to answer these all NOW whether you want answers or NOT 1. Art programs you have but don’t use i've installed firealpaca, medibang, drawpile, i think i have a crack of paint tool sai still, know i have a crack of csp lying around. truth be told the last time i used a digital art program that wasn't gimp was 2 years ago where i drew like 3 things in drawpile. 2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even) full front and 3/4 either direction are equally easy. it's profiles that are difficult. 3. What ideas come from when you were little a lot of my ocs come from when i was 13-ish. from when i was a little kid tho not much carries over except a theme of things being genetically engineered in some way. 4. Fav character/subject that’s a bitch to draw folliage/nature. i need to take a lot of references to make plants and foresty sorta landscapes look passable. 5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself i think i post nearly everything that's complete, and i complete nearly everything. anything that isn't posted is part of a larger whole and eventually will get posted. so probably like over 95% of what i do is posted online. 6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn’t supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it) 60s anime and akira toriyama's earlier work (dr slump/dragon ball). idk. smthn about the eyes. 7. A medium of art you don’t work in but appreciate vector artwork. tried it when i was 14 and hated it. just doesn't mesh well i'm a bitmap boy. 8. What’s an old project idea that you’ve lost interest in esther's redemption angel story. it's not really interesting to me and the afterlife "oh i'm a good angel and i help demons!" just feels really played out? i blame vivzie. 9. What are your file name conventions 001 002 003, a combination of keywords, or ajhgkjahkj 10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw puffy sweaters. any winter clothes really. 11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what yea i listen to pretty much anything. i kinda just pick an album or a dj set at random. i mostly listen to electronic music or alt rock. 12. Easiest part of body to draw arms. legs are a close second. 13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn’t your thing ... i don't think i have something like that if i don't like their work i don't really get interested in them lol. idk hidetaka miyazaki? for being a huge out masochist in interviews? that shit's funny. only played dark souls 1 tho. 14. Any favorite motifs characters grappling with their own mortality in some way shape or form 15. *Where* do you draw (don’t drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth) in my room. at my desk. 16. Something you are good at but don’t really have fun doing scriptthttt writttingg.g.. i forgot how much you have to Write to create Thing they can't just be nebulous ideas or cool scenes one after the other. 17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what i dink my oiter. and sometime my monsert if i want to feel like shit and have a really fast heart rate for a really long time. 18. An estimate of how much art supplies you’ve broken my collection of dried up poscas and copics and highlighters and literally any other marker is huge i'm sure. also i have popped the nib off of prismacolor's 005 fineliner at least twice. (prisma fineliners suck get staedtler or faber-castell instead) 19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.) plants no contest. rooms are also really cool. 20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy hands. i've always liked them. 21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways i dig baroque era paintings quite a bit. 22. What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any none i rawdog that sketchbook 23. Do you use different layer modes the closest thing i have to layers is my lightbox. 24. Do your references include stock images yes of course absolutely 25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by BEASTARS. i guess because furry? lol 26. What’s a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended i haven't finished any of my Works yet so i don't have an answer for this yet but i have a sneaking suspicion that one of them will be wildly misinterpreted but we shall see 27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with no not really. i didn't even realize warming up was a concept until like, this year or smthn 28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines) i did work for CUTE CERVID on their first comp. other than that no i am too reclusive and hate interacting with the Art Community at large to participate in most zines. 29. Media you love, but doesn’t inspire you artistically jet set radio funnily enough. the game literally about art hahahah i don't think i've ever drawn jet set radio fanart and i've been into that game for like 4 years now 30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

this one. it's literally one of the best things i've ever drawn and everytime i post it it gets like 5 like/fav/engagements MAX

Writing process asks: All the odd numbers!

1. Do you write outlines? How closely do you find yourself sticking to them?

Not as such. Sometimes, I have no more than a vague idea/inciting incident in mind and proceed to make it all up as I go. Sometimes, I have kind of an unwritten outline of the general events of a story (these things happen, in this order), but even then, it’s not very detailed.

So, in as much as I have outlines, I stick to them. But that isn’t saying much.

3. What’s your process like for world building? Do you have a clear definition of the world before starting or do you make it up as you need things?

Aaaaages ago, when I wrote original fic, I world built from the large to small - I had pretty solid ideas of civilizations and such, then invented places within them. Now that I write fanfic, my worldbuilding is mostly worldpatching. Oh, canon doesn’t explain how that thing works? Here’s my explanation. Oh, canon forgot to include any Imperial worlds where you could grow food? Let’s fix that. So these days, it’s a matter of making things up as needed.

5. How do you name things?

Depends on the thing. With characters, some have real world names found by flipping through name books, while others were named by the highly scientific method of scrambling syllables I find appealing or appropriate until something clicks. (And, occasionally, by use of on-line name generators. Which is kind of automated syllable scrambling.)

Places mostly get named via syllable scrambling or name generators. I have a whole spreadsheet of potential ship names, and words that are appropriate for ship names (based both on real world or fictional ship naming conventions of varying sorts - the ______ Star, [country’s royalty], [thing] [animal], etc.

7. How long do you spend in a single writing session? Do you wish you could spend more time?

That varies. There have been times when writing is going swimmingly and I’d write on my lunch break, then come home, make dinner, and write for several hours. There have also been times when I just stare at a blank document periodically and wish words would come.

I wish I could manage to have productive time more consistently. I have plenty of time for writing, really. It’s just that my brain won’t always cooperate.

9. What do you listen to while writing? (If you require silence or some other kind of atmosphere how do you create it for yourself)

I used to be able to listen to songs while writing, but I don’t seem to be able to do that any more. I just sit there and rock out, which is not nearly as useful. I’m trying to scrounge up enough soundtrack and classical bits to give myself a few mood appropriate playlists, since I have trouble focusing in silence. (I’ve also tried various ambient sounds, but, while that’s better than nothing, it’s not as good as music.)

11. Do you know how your story will end when you start writing? Have you ever started out thinking it will end one way and have it end differently?

That depends on whether I started with a vague outline or just a premise/inciting incident. If I have a vague outline, yes. If I’m entirely winging it, nope. When I do know where I’m going, I seem to be pretty good at getting there.

13. Do you immediately post something when you finish it?

Yes.

15. How many stories have you started and never finished? Are they abandoned or do you want to get back to them eventually?

I have so many abandoned stories from back when I was going to be a “real” writer. Also lots of beginnings from when I was a teenager and better at beginnings than completion.

In more recent times, I’ve got a few bits floating about that just didn’t really coalesce into anything or that I decided wouldn’t work. Maybe I’ll pillage them for good lines some day.

17. How has your writing process changed between beginner writer you and current writer you?

Oh jeeze. Beginner writer me was a tiny child. Except for the few years between when I got sick and when I started writing fanfic, I basically told stories from the time I could talk, drew them from the time I could hold a pencil, and wrote them from the time I could string words together on paper. Young me was an endless font of scenes and ideas and random bits of dialogue and if you left me alone with a piece of paper, it was going to get drawn or written on.

I hate that I rarely have that kind of enthusiasm now. On the other hand, I’m a lot better at actually completing things. But oh boy do I miss that just shameless story burbling.

19. What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve received?

Uh…

Oh, wait, I was very stuck on a fic a few years ago because there was a very logical way for things to go, but that very logical way had the potential to end terribly. One of my writer friends suggested I try writing it out anyway as a possible way it might go (or words to that effect), so I did, and lo and behold, it did not end terribly.

21. What kind of story are you writing right now (or planning to write soon)?

I’ve got a couple of adventure fics in the works.

23. Is your story top secret or are you posting updates for it as you go?

I generally post things chapter by chapter, so when the writing starts flowing again, it will be an update as I go.

25. Free space. Tell me anything you want about writing in general or one of your stories.

Earlier today, I was trying to help a writer friend solve a writing problem they were having and instead we solved a writing problem I was having. And maybe made some progress on their problem, too. \o/

every odd number, have fun!!

oh goodness thank you. ; u; a gr8 way to start the morning tbh~

1. Are looks important in a relationship?honestly? no not really. I mean yeah to become attracted to someone look would probably play an important roll, and I don’t mind getting super dolled up to impress a guy (and myself lmao) but when you’re actually in the relationship, I don’t think it’s crucial to look your best at all times. David says I could wake up with crusty ass eyes, a rat’s nest for hair, and dried drool on my cheek and he would still love me anyways. xD

3. Are you a virgin? no, I lost my virginity at 17.

5. Are you in love?I sure am!!! He’s honestly the sweetest man. And he loves me too. ~

7. Can you commit to one person?ofcourse I can, it honestly isn’t hard.cheating is one of the worse things a person can do to another person. :C but if we’re talking about like mutual open relationships thing, as much as I find them intriguing and I like the sounds of it and the idea of it, I’m too much of a jealous person honestly. ;_;

9. Describe your perfect mateDAVID. honestly enough said but, if it wasn’t david, someone whose intelligent but goofy. someone persistent and devoted, and someone super understanding of me and actually cares about what I think and can hold a conversation with my awkward ass xD

11. Do you ever want to get married?I do! But, I’m not ready for marriage just yet. Maybe in a few years. I was engaged to my exboyfriend of 5 years and I now I feel like, it’s a little too soon for me, especially because when something as long as 5 years that I thought was going to be forever had ended, it occurred to me that everything could end just like that, and I want to be cautious and not rush into things.

13. Do you get jealous easily?unfortunately, I do. It’s not my best quality. I get rather possessive and it’s kinda awkward, and extreme. But, it’s because I care so much. ;___;

15. Do you have any piercings?as of right now, no. I used to have my ears pierced in 3 different spots, and I used to have my nipples pierced, but I took them all out for no reason the last few years and I regret it.

17. Do you like kissing in public?Most times yes, as long as we aren’t the center of attention or in a spot that can be easily focused on. I was literally just talking about this with David the other day about how he’s so tall it would draw attention to us, and I don’t like being watched. ;A;

21. Do you think someone has feelings for you?DAVID. or i would at least hope he does LOL.

23. Do you think you can last in a relationship for 6 months and not cheat?yepyepyep. cheating is stupid.

25. Do you want to be in a relationship this year?I am in a relationship this year.

27. Has someone ever written a song or poem for you?nope. oh well.

29. Have you ever cheated on someone?No.

31. Have you ever cried over a guy/girl?a lot actually even if its tears of joy

33. Have you ever had sex with a man?Mhm! 3 different guys, not at the same time though.

35. Have you ever kissed someone older than you?Yeah! I don’t know if I’ve ever romantically kissed someone younger than me.

37. Have you ever liked someone who your friends hated?I mean kinda? xD they hated him for cheating on me and breaking up with me different times, but i still liked him anyways, but oh well now ‘cause i don’t like him anymore. c:

39. Have you ever wanted someone you couldn’t have?once upon a time lmao.

41. Have you had sex so far this year?!!! yes and it’s the best sex i’ve ever had lmao ; u;

43. How long was your longest relationship?5 years

45. How many people did you kiss in 2012/2013?one

47. How old are you?21! I turn 22 in october. c:

49. If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, what is your favorite thing about him/her?I have a lot of favourite things about David.He has a look on his face when he’s happy or excited about something, and it’s literally contagious. He’s the best at cheering people up even though it’s the silliest and most assertive way possible lmao. I love that he is so devoted to our relationship and treats me like a princess. (he has a giant penis

51. Is there a boy/girl who you would do absolutely everything for?non-romantically, yes there are a few people.romantically, ofcourse because I love him with all of my heart.

53. Is there someone mad because you’re dating/talking to the person you are?Idk, maybe. I mean I doubt that he feels the same way about David and I, but for a while I was super upset about him and his new girlfriend. I mean I still am, but it doesn’t bother me like it used to anymore.

55. Share a relationship story.WELL YOU SEE. I am a hilarious being. And sometimes David doesn’t understand how hilarious I can get.So my laptop is a piece of junk, and David had an extra 16gb of RAM just lying around that he planned on installing into my laptop especially because we were planning on playing Portal 2 together but he didn’t know if my laptop could handle it, so I was supposed to send him my laptop’s specs before I had went to work. I got to work and I forgot to send him those details. So I messaged him,“oh shit, babe, I forgot to send you my specs“ so I sent him a picture of my glasses. get it? SPECS?it went past over his head and he asked when I got them, and I told his April of 2015 and was like oh okay cool I guess.So then I get home, and he is like okay lets take a look at your specs, and I handed him my glasses and he looked pretty confused, and I was like. DID YOU NOT GET MY JOKE FROM EARLIER?????

57. Things you want to say to an exI wish it ended a different way. You meant so much to me and even though we’re gonna be civil, I don’t know if I can fully forgive you.

59. What do you look like? (Post a picture!)http://koikingu.tumblr.com/tagged/linhlinhlinhtheres pictures of myself there

61. What is the first thing you notice in someone?honestly, their height or teeth and probably their entire face lmao.

63. What is your definition of “having sex”?uhhh for hetero couples: but the penis into the vagina or the buttfor gay couples: fellatio and putting the penis into the buttfor lesbian couples: cunnilingus, fingering, anything intimate reallyidk

65. What is your favourite foreplay routine?!! I really like giving head ; u; It’s fun~

67. What is your idea of the perfect date?Anything as long as we’re both fully focused on one another. I think anything that intimate would be the best kind of date.

69. What turns you off?That’s kind of hard to explain? I mean a lot of things can turn me off, but like it’s kinda hard to? Like, pain is kinda weird. I like being on the receiving end of pain, but if it’s too much pain I’ll probably cry and ruin it for the both of us. And that has happened too many times already LOL

71. What was your kinkiest wet dream?oh god a really long time ago, I had a dream about being the focal point of a reverse harem that had like 8 guys in it. And obv like any eroge I had to have sex with all of them at one point and multiples of them as well, and ekjfsrnkjgtrnt come back to me dream ;A;

73. What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you?I’m not sure. I wouldn’t mind if anyone didn’t do anything sweet for me, but if I had to like pick? I guess a reflection of what I did for my exbestfriend when she went to go do something out of her comfort zone, I cooked an entire dinner and bought her a cake so when she got home she could just enjoy it and relax with people that love her. but yeah idek. it’s kind of a sore spot. like not from her though obv lmao. just someone else to do something like that for me. LOL but pls don’t actually because i would prob feel pretty bad if someone went out of their way to make anything special for me ;A;

75. What’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for you?one time, my cat laid on top of me, and he pressed his little snout against my lips and it was the best thing.David’s offered to kick people’s asses for my sake lmao and that’s super sweet of him xD but he turned his apartment into our apartment when I needed help.He was there for me when no one else was, and I can’t thank him enough for that.

77. What’s your opinion on age differences in relationships?As long as it isn’t illegal and you guys are happy, go for it.Don’t let the age gap come between you though.

79. When was the last time you felt jealous? Why?The last time I REALLY felt jealous was when my exboyfriend and my exbestfriend started dating. other times is when my current boyfriend’s ex added him on facebook after rudely blocking him on facebook.

81. Who are five people you find attractive?David@pastelgamerwitchTwitch (my handsome cat)Nick’s GirlfriendDwayne the Rock Johnson

83. Who was your first kiss with?uhhhhhhh I don’t remember LOL

85. Why did your last relationship fail?oh god. sore spot.uh. there were a lot of different reasons why it failed.we were both emotionally abusive to each other, his family didn’t like me so it added on stress for him, he hadn’t loved me since the second year of our relationship but milked it on for 3 more years, and he just couldn’t commit to me i guess. Like I kinda understand, but it hurt.What really drew the line was the whole not loving me since the second year and then him and my exbestfriend kept secrets from me, lied to my face about insecurities and then started dating behind my back. RIP oh well though. As long as it suits them.I have my own man to worry about.

Acts 7

ACTS 7 Before I teach ‘the bible’ later- you know- the book that tells us about justice- and how to do it. I want to make a brief note. The past 2 weeks I mentioned on video how I was going to get sworn testimony from 3 friends about cop abuse. I got a text last night- they just found one of them- dead. https://youtu.be/r4cPQHcshCI Acts 7 https://ccoutreach87.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/3-30-17-acts-7.zip Acts 7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. Acts 7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. News link- http://www.caller.com/story/news/crime/2017/04/04/taft-police-chief-indicted-oppression-charge/100021574/ ON VIDEO .Local and Federal court .Temple served as ‘county court’ also [1st Century Rome] .Abraham homeless? .Refugio case .Abrahamic covenant- People and land .Joseph’s story .Moses fled .Bush burns .Stephen quotes Oral Tradition [which words of Jesus did he remember?] .Saul saw the whole thing

PAST TEACHING [Verses below] These are my past teachings that relate in some way to today’s post ‘Acts 7’- https://ccoutreach87.com/2017/01/18/acts-1/ https://ccoutreach87.com/2017/01/26/acts-2/ https://ccoutreach87.com/2017/02/02/acts-3/ https://ccoutreach87.com/2017/02/09/acts-4/ https://ccoutreach87.com/2017/03/23/acts-5/ https://ccoutreach87.com/2017/03/31/acts-6/ https://ccoutreach87.com/galatians-links/ https://ccoutreach87.com/romans-updated-2015/ https://ccoutreach87.com/genesis/ https://ccoutreach87.com/2017/03/31/another-day-2/ https://ccoutreach87.com/2017/03/30/keepers-of-the-law/ (739) ACTS 7- At the end of chapter 6 we saw the accusation against Stephen ‘he teaches the temple will be torn down and that Jesus will change the laws and customs of Moses’. There are a few key chapters In Acts, this is one of them! Up until this point we have seen Peters message of the Messiah thru the lens of repentance and baptism. You will notice Peter is very strong on ‘you guys need to repent and show it’. Strong word indeed! Peter also introduced the scripture ‘the Lord your God will raise up a prophet like unto me [Moses speaking of Christ] whoever doesn’t listen to him will be destroyed’. But Stephen is the first one to teach publicly the passing away of the law and the temple and the new ‘house of God’ to be the people. It’s the beginnings of Pauline theology. Now I have read how this chapter was questioned and doubted as to why Stephen was teaching this. Some theologians thought the chapter was questionable as canon because of it’s seeming to be so out of context. These are the times where I do agree with the ‘seminary as being a cemetery’! This chapter is absolutely brilliant! I don’t want you to miss the main point. Stephen traces the history of Israel and uses the verse from Moses ‘the Lord will raise up a PROPHET LIKE ME’. Stephen explains that when Moses first showed up on the scene to deliver his people, that the people said ‘man, who do you think you are! Who made you the boss’? Then Stephen says ‘yet this Moses, who the people refused. He was actually the ruler and deliverer that they refused’. Stephen is showing them that the prophets actually prophesied of the first century reality of Israel rejecting Jesus because Moses said they would! Don’t miss this point. This is the main point of Stephens message. He is telling the religious leaders ‘you simply fulfilled prophecy by rejecting the Messiah’. He even compares the miracles and great works that were done by Moses to the great miracles Jesus did. Stephen ends the chapter by also tracing Jewish history to David’s son Solomon and how the future temple that he would build was simply a shadow of the New Testament house of God. He quotes David in Psalms ‘God will not dwell in temples made with hands’. Now, this has nothing to do with ‘church buildings’. This has everything to do with Stephen’s insight into the theological truths contained in Jesus teachings about the destruction of the temple. In today’s ‘church world’ we have a very unbalanced view of temple rebuilding and the significance of the passages in Matthew that prophesy of its destruction. In Stephen’s mind the future destruction [that is future from his time. A.D. 70!] showed the passing away of the old law and its entire system of worship. The first century Apostles and teachers saw the eschatological portions of scripture from a redemptive lens. Peter earlier said ‘repent and be baptized… so your sins will be blotted out at the return of the Lord’ ‘whom the heavens must receive until the times of restitution of all things’. He couched individual salvation in with Gods ‘full world’ purpose of redemption [Romans]. They saw it from a wider angle than just ‘me and Jesus’. Now Stephen is doing the same. The whole Apostolic tradition concerning the destruction of the temple showed the purpose of God in ending the old concept of law and ‘limited kingship’ [from Jerusalem’s throne] and how God raised up his Son and placed him at his right hand and made him Lord and Christ. The passing away of the temple and Stephens preaching on ‘the customs being changed’ was right on! When I taught Hebrews I tried to bring this out. I realize that some teachers say Paul didn’t write Hebrews. I attribute it to him simply because no one else had the revelation he had in these areas. But I wouldn’t argue with saying Stephen might have penned it [depending on the dates!] Now we end the chapter with Stephens’s famous martyrdom and him saying ‘lay not this sin to their charge’. Saul [Paul] is a witness to this killing, he will become the greatest advocate for grace versus law that the church will ever know. NOTE- I forgot to mention that Stephen even compares the mass killing of babies at the time of Moses with the mass killing done under Herod during Jesus time. He shows how Moses and Jesus were alike in many ways.

VERSES- Acts 7:1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so? Acts 7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, Acts 7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. Acts 7:4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. Acts 7:5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. Acts 7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. Acts 7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. Acts 7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. Acts 7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, Acts 7:10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. Acts 7:12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. Acts 7:13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh. Acts 7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. Acts 7:15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, Acts 7:16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. Acts 7:17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, Acts 7:18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. Acts 7:19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live. Acts 7:20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months: Acts 7:21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. Acts 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. Acts 7:23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. Acts 7:24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: Acts 7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not. Acts 7:26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another? Acts 7:27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? Acts 7:28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday? Acts 7:29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons. Acts 7:30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. Acts 7:31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him, Acts 7:32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. Acts 7:33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. Acts 7:34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. Acts 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. Acts 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: Acts 7:39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, Acts 7:40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. Acts 7:41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Acts 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. Acts 7:44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. Acts 7:45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; Acts 7:46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. Acts 7:47 But Solomon built him an house. Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Acts 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? Acts 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things? Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Acts 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: Acts 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. Acts 7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, Acts 7:56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Acts 7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, Acts 7:58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul. Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Acts 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Acts 7

ACTS 7

Before I teach ‘the bible’ later- you know- the book that tells us about justice- and how to do it. I want to make a brief note. The past 2 weeks I mentioned on video how I was going to get sworn testimony from 3 friends about cop abuse. I got a text last night- they just found one of them- dead.

Acts 7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.

Acts 7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

(739) ACTS 7- At the end of chapter 6 we saw the accusation against Stephen ‘he teaches the temple will be torn down and that Jesus will change the laws and customs of Moses’. There are a few key chapters In Acts, this is one of them! Up until this point we have seen Peters message of the Messiah thru the lens of repentance and baptism. You will notice Peter is very strong on ‘you guys need to repent and show it’. Strong word indeed! Peter also introduced the scripture ‘the Lord your God will raise up a prophet like unto me [Moses speaking of Christ] whoever doesn’t listen to him will be destroyed’. But Stephen is the first one to teach publicly the passing away of the law and the temple and the new ‘house of God’ to be the people. It’s the beginnings of Pauline theology. Now I have read how this chapter was questioned and doubted as to why Stephen was teaching this. Some theologians thought the chapter was questionable as canon because of it’s seeming to be so out of context. These are the times where I do agree with the ‘seminary as being a cemetery’! This chapter is absolutely brilliant! I don’t want you to miss the main point. Stephen traces the history of Israel and uses the verse from Moses ‘the Lord will raise up a PROPHET LIKE ME’. Stephen explains that when Moses first showed up on the scene to deliver his people, that the people said ‘man, who do you think you are! Who made you the boss’? Then Stephen says ‘yet this Moses, who the people refused. He was actually the ruler and deliverer that they refused’. Stephen is showing them that the prophets actually prophesied of the first century reality of Israel rejecting Jesus because Moses said they would! Don’t miss this point. This is the main point of Stephens message. He is telling the religious leaders ‘you simply fulfilled prophecy by rejecting the Messiah’. He even compares the miracles and great works that were done by Moses to the great miracles Jesus did. Stephen ends the chapter by also tracing Jewish history to David’s son Solomon and how the future temple that he would build was simply a shadow of the New Testament house of God. He quotes David in Psalms ‘God will not dwell in temples made with hands’. Now, this has nothing to do with ‘church buildings’. This has everything to do with Stephen’s insight into the theological truths contained in Jesus teachings about the destruction of the temple. In today’s ‘church world’ we have a very unbalanced view of temple rebuilding and the significance of the passages in Matthew that prophesy of its destruction. In Stephen’s mind the future destruction [that is future from his time. A.D. 70!] showed the passing away of the old law and its entire system of worship. The first century Apostles and teachers saw the eschatological portions of scripture from a redemptive lens. Peter earlier said ‘repent and be baptized… so your sins will be blotted out at the return of the Lord’ ‘whom the heavens must receive until the times of restitution of all things’. He couched individual salvation in with Gods ‘full world’ purpose of redemption [Romans]. They saw it from a wider angle than just ‘me and Jesus’. Now Stephen is doing the same. The whole Apostolic tradition concerning the destruction of the temple showed the purpose of God in ending the old concept of law and ‘limited kingship’ [from Jerusalem’s throne] and how God raised up his Son and placed him at his right hand and made him Lord and Christ. The passing away of the temple and Stephens preaching on ‘the customs being changed’ was right on! When I taught Hebrews I tried to bring this out. I realize that some teachers say Paul didn’t write Hebrews. I attribute it to him simply because no one else had the revelation he had in these areas. But I wouldn’t argue with saying Stephen might have penned it [depending on the dates!] Now we end the chapter with Stephens’s famous martyrdom and him saying ‘lay not this sin to their charge’. Saul [Paul] is a witness to this killing, he will become the greatest advocate for grace versus law that the church will ever know. NOTE- I forgot to mention that Stephen even compares the mass killing of babies at the time of Moses with the mass killing done under Herod during Jesus time. He shows how Moses and Jesus were alike in many ways.
