These were some of the scraps from sewn garments. They were sitting around in oblivion until today because I really have no use for them. To execute a garment the way it is intended, you have to cut fabric to the pattern precisely, otherwise, you are going to end up with extras. Should one decide to sew these scraps back into the dress, they would not be part of the original pattern. They become what you call embellishments. It will look bad on the garment especially if it were not part of the design.
“That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her? – What is sad, you see, in regards to this trick question, it is revealed to us the motive of the askers—the Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection. It is to entrap Jesus (Matthew 22:18), but this is good to address since there may be people out there who are “legitimately” asking the same question, not necessarily on the wife, but of concerns on the resurrection.
29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
Matthew 22:23-32 NIV
Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. – This is as blunt a statement can get that needs no interpretation. Sometimes, there are folks out there who feign objectivity when their intent is to try to destroy your convictions.
He is not the God of the dead but of the living – Do you ever wonder why people don’t just get annihilated when we die? Our soul came from the breath of God who is eternal. We continue to live on when we die because part of us is eternal.
“Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,”
Hebrews 9:27 NIV
Face judgment… How in the world can one face judgment if a person ceases to exist?
There are a lot of Encantos and seducing spirits out there who lead people astray. That is why we are admonished “not to go beyond what is written” in 1 Corinthians 4:6. Another strong warning that believers would do well to heed is found in 2 John 1:9,
“Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.”
Anyone who rationalizes this is not a true follower of Jesus Christ according to John 8:31b,
“If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.”
If you claim to be a believer and dealing with extra-biblical revelations other than what is written,
“Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.”
Leviticus 19:31 NIV
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.”
1 Timothy 4:1 NIV
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
John 4:23-24 NIV
