To revisit the previous question about the church of the Laodiceans and their lukewarm works (Revelation 3:14-22) -- what do you think that means?

It means to be neither hot nor cold. It means that they believe in Christian but have no fire for Him nor any non-belief of Him.

Who makes intercession for us, besides Jesus?

[Mackenaw]

Hello Everyone

The Holy Spirit makes intercession for us.

Romans 8:26-27
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

What is a Nazarite?



God bless you this day.

Jesus loves you

[notforgotten]

From the Easton's Bible Dictionary;

Nazarite: (Heb. form Nazirite), the name of such Israelites as took on them the vow prescribed in Numbers 6:2-21 . The word denotes generally one who is separated from others and consecrated to God. Although there is no mention of any Nazarite before Samson, yet it is evident that they existed before the time of Moses. The vow of a Nazarite involved these three things, (1) abstinence from wine and strong drink, (2) refraining from cutting the hair off the head during the whole period of the continuance of the vow, and (3) the avoidance of contact with the dead.
