@realdanieltitus @freshephi I’m sure you knew it already!

@realdanieltitus @freshephi As a bonus, β€˜Bar’ in a name means β€˜son of’. Barsabbas means β€˜Son of sabbath’ or β€˜Son of rest’. There was a magician in Acts 13 called Bar-Jesus (aka Elymas). Jesus was also a very common name in the 1st Century Middle East.

@engineering_i0 Looks safe πŸ‘

@loveujesus123 @realdanieltitus ⬆️ A tree with so many cool properties it’s almost like it was designed to be that way… oh, hold on… 😁

@realdanieltitus So many layers of meaning!

@loveujesus123 @realdanieltitus Here’s a beautiful example. t.co/TJze35OMO…

@realdanieltitus I truly believe you could spend a lifetime of study and only know a fraction of the truths there are to be found in Gods word. You could spend half a lifetime in Genesis 1-11 alone! Scripture is amazing.

@realdanieltitus I only answer if I know as well 😁 I’m a long way from knowing it all!

@realdanieltitus I really like the game, but it spoils it if the same people are first all the time!

@realdanieltitus Too easy! πŸ˜‰

@__IamK @deadtosin610 @tangi_davis Yes, but Hebrews specifically says that he has no Genealogy, so I think that rules out them being ‘related’ in the traditional sense. ‘The order of Melchizedek’ would be like saying they were both within the same class, that of High Priest.

@BtrU_22 @deadtosin610 Ha! You and me both…!

@realdanieltitus @freshephi Yes, I’m sure they are different people!

@realdanieltitus @freshephi Wha…! Goes to check…!

My Naves Topical Bible Index has them as separate people 🧐

@freshephi @realdanieltitus This illustrates something I posted about the other day! twitter.com/WeNeedAnArk/st…

@freshephi @realdanieltitus πŸ˜€ I thought you might say that! I think it’s a different Barsabbas in Acts 15:22. Judas Barsabbas rather than Joseph Barsabbas. t.co/VpbeuNyVN…

@deadtosin610 I think that Hebrews is pretty clear that Melchizedek is a Christophany. No-one else could manifest these characteristics and not be Christ.

@Stuartall1977 That looks like a wonderful day!

@realdanieltitus Yes, just not one of the twelve. Luke 10:1 talks of another 70 disciples sent forward. I hope he stuck around after the disappointment!

@JesseDornfeld @CSLCHSnMore Isaiah 1 is πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

@realdanieltitus Matthias was chosen - by casting lots - God’s providence. Joseph Barsabbas was the unlucky one.

I wonder what came of Barsabbas?

@realdanieltitus 100%!

Circumcision of the heart describes the cutting away of our natural passions and our regeneration and sanctification before the cross.

Below is a very helpful summary of John Wesley’s view on the subject.

Why was circumcision so important in the Old Testament? This always confused me.

I found this article really useful in answering the question. chabad.org/library/articl…

It also helps understand the circumcision of the heart described in Romans 2:29.
