One of the most misunderstood messages is Ephesians 6

The following message Pinchas (Phineas): and the Sin of Baal-Peor Numbers 25:1-18 & Psalm 106:28-31 is given free of charge if you gained a deeper appreciation of the scriptures, Please consider supporting Paul via Celebrate Messiah

When Israel come out of the 40 years in the wilderness, they arrived on the borders of Moab, and the king of Moab called for Balaam from Mesopotamia. Now Balaam was called a seer, one who sees the future, people with this gift are called a prophet later. And Balaam is called to curse Israel. Balaam enquires of God and is told not to go with the men to curse Israel. When he is offered more money, he keeps enquiring of the Lord, and his desire for money is exposed. And so he arrives on the mountain peak to curse Israel and God takes over his tongue and is unable to do. It is likely that he then looked at Israel’s history and realised every time they sinned God brought corrective punishment. And so Balaam is able to get his money by getting Israel to worship false gods.

 The Sin: Numbers 25:12

1&2 “While Israel remained at Shittim, the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab. For they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

We were Spiritually Dead but now

Ephesians 1-10

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which ye once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the children of disobedience - 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Messiah – by grace you have been saved - 

6 and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua, 7 so that in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Messiah Yeshua.

8-9 For by grace ye have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

“Creation is God’s first poem, but redemption is His second poem, and you and I who are saved constitute the syllables in God’s great poem of redemption. Everyone is set in the right place by God Himself, “We are his workmanship,” and therefore He is given all the credit, for He has done it all through His Son.”
