Imperfect Number Thirteen is Not Unlucky

Do you want to know if the factors of the number 13 such as thirteenth floor, friday the 13th, and thirteenth room are a real unlucky in reality? We must first define what is the word imperfect number which were often titled to the number 13. An imperfect number is a number either greater or less than the sum of its divisors. For example in the physical view on your two hands if they've ten fingers that means it's perfect because 10 is a perfect number of the fingers for both two hands, but if they have nine fingers which is less than or have eleven which is greater than the perfect number of hands' fingers, it's an imperfect cause that isn't the normal number of hands' fingers. Why the number 13 was often titled as imperfect number?

“When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed...” ^{Matthew 19:25} “Jesus said to them, ‘Verily I say to you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.’” ^{Matt. 19:28}

“When the hour was come, Jesus sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said to them...” ^{Luke 22:14-15} ‘Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father had appointed to me, that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.’ ^{Lu. 22:28-30}

In biblical view the number twelve is considered as a perfect number because it is the number of the original apostles of Jesus Christ which will be sat on the 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel. Therefore, over than that number is an imperfect such as thirteen. And there are also a miscellaneous saying which came from his last supper, that if there were thirteen people around the table, one of them will die. What a commandment of a man!

“And they prayed, and said, ‘You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two you have chosen, that he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.’ And they gave forth their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.” ^{Acts 1:24-26}

Some Messiah's Fulfillment of the Scriptures

Do you want to know why Christians believe that Jesus the firstborn son of Mary is the Messiah? The one who can prove that is the old testament and the new testament of the Bible how Jesus fulfilled the Sacred Scriptures about the Messiah.

Luke 24:44
Jesus said to his disciples, “This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

1. So, every written about the Messiah in Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms are fulfilled with Jesus Christ. Here are some of the fulfillment about him in the Scriptures. First, one of the fulfillment in the Moses' Law. Deuteronomy 18:17-18
   The LORD said to Moses, “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers, I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.”
   Acts 3:22
   For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people, you must listen to everything he tells you.’ The Anointed One that mentioned on the verse of the new testament of the Bible above is the person that telling on the verse bellow. Acts 3:20
   God shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached to you.
2. Second, one of the fulfillment of the Sacred Scriptures about the Anointed One in the book of Isaiah the Prophet. Isaiah 7:14
   Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Mary the wife of Joseph who gave a virgin birth to Jesus took place to fulfill what the God had said to Prophet Isaiah. Matthew 1:22-23
   All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet, “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” which means, “God with us.” One of the fulfillment of the Holy Scriptures about the Messiah the Anointed One in the book of Jeremiah the Prophet. Hebrews 8:6-13
   But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said, ^{(Jeremiah 31:31-34)} “The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” ^{(Hebrews 8:13)} By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete, and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

How to Cast the Evil Spirit Out of the Person

Some people have experienced seeing a demon-possessed person, or have experienced the possession of a devil. Did you know, that kind of possession is also written in the Bible on Mark 5:2(B)-5?
Jesus met out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no one could bind him, not even with chains, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces, neither could anyone tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

You can cast the spirit out of the demon-possessed person with a word as the way that described on Matthew 8:16(B-C).
The people in there brought to Jesus many who were possessed with devils. And he cast out the spirits with a word.

You can cast the demon out of the person in the name of Jesus Christ as on Mark 9:38-40.
John answered Jesus, saying, “Master, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he doesn't follow us.” But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in my name can soon afterward speak evil of me. For the person who is not against us is on our side.”

Why should you cast the demon in the name of Jesus Christ? Because an evil spirit knew him, for it is written on Mark 1:34(B-D).
Jesus cast out many demons, and he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

The spirit knew that the Christ is the Son of God and a demon who possessed the person can be torment as on Matt. 8:29.
Two demon-possessed men cried out, saying, “What have we to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”

Cast out the demon in the manner what Paul have done that written on Acts 16:16(C)-18.
A certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met some disciples, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and them, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the most high God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour.

A Demon-Possessed Man is a Prove of Spirits

I didn't know why some other people doesn't believe in the existence of God, it is also because they do not believe in a spirit being. But a man who possessed by an evil spirit is proven by my two eyes, and I'm telling you that now, I doesn't tell a lie. There is also a demon-possessed man mentioned in the Bible, and here are the verses of the Holy Scripture about a man or a woman that possessed by an evil spirit.

Matthew
4:24 Then his fame went throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possesed, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.
8:16 When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed. And he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.
8:28 When he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.
9:32-33 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a man, mute and demon-possessed. And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!”
12:22 Then one was brought to him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute, and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

Mark
1:32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.
5:2-5 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. Who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no one could bind him, not even with chains.

Luke
8:27 And when he stepped out on the land, there met him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs.

The Religion or the Church that is Not of God

The church which says that they are of God must have these doctrines according in the Holy Bible. If your religious preacher did not teach one of these doctrines or have a teachings which against to at least one of these, they are surely not of God! Don't be afraid to them, the word of God which is written in the Bible is in your side.

One of the important doctrines of Jesus Christ is written in the book of Matthew 19:9 which says that a man who divorces his wife except for sexual immorality and marries another commits adultery, and who marries her who is divorced commits adultery. Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery, and whoso marries her which is put away does commit adultery.

And there is also a teachings on our hair which is written in 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 telling it is a dishonor to a man if he has long hair, but it's a glory to a woman if she has long hair. Even nature itself teach you that if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him. But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given her for a covering.

There's also a doctrine which written in Deuteronomy 22:5 that a woman must not wear the cloth of men, nor a man wear the cloth of women, because all who do these things are abomination to God. The woman shall not wear that which pertains unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD your God.

According in 1 Timothy 2:9 the women should not dress themselves with broided hair, gold, pearls, or costly clothing but in modest apparel with propriety and moderation. In like manner that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with decency and sobriety, not with broided hair, gold, pearls, or costly array.

According in Ephesians 5:18 the drunkards are prohibited in the church that is of God, it must need to be discipline. Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit.

In 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 the church that is of God is have given order which Paul an apostle said that on Sunday let each one lay something aside, storing up as they may prosper, that there be no collections when he come. So, if your religion have a collection other than the day of Sunday, then you must think about that church. Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do you. Upon the first day of the week let everyone of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

Who Can Understand the Sealed Book in the Bible

Many of the Bible readers know that a sealed book in the Bible has still sealed until now, but they are wrong. So, a reader who said that they understand the Bible must know that its seal was already loosed, for it is written in Romans 16:25-26 of the Bible, “Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest and by the scriptures of the prophets according to the commandment of the everlasting God...” The preaching of Christ is the revelation of the mystery in the books of the prophets which was kept secret. In the book of Daniel 12:9-10, “The words are closed up and sealed till many shall be purified, made white, and tried in the time of the end, but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of them shall understand, but the wise shall understand.” Becoming wise is one of the requirements to understand the word of God. And in Proverbs 1:23, God said, “Turn you at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.” Means, the people who didn't turn at the reproof of God are not guaranteed to understand the Holy Scripture. And you should knew the mind of Christ to understand a lot of things in the Bible because in 1 Corinthians 2:9-16, “The things that not seen nor heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, which God had prepared for them that love him. But God had revealed them unto us by his Spirit, for the Spirit searched the deep things of God. The things of God known by the Spirit of God. Now we have received the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. We speak in the words which the Holy Ghost had teach. They that are spiritual judged all things. For who had known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” The apostles preach by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and to get that spirit is written in Ephesians 1:13, “In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise...” The God can also open your heart to understand the sacred book like what's written in Acts 16:14, “A certain woman named Lydia a seller of purple in the city of Thyatira which worshipped God, was listening, whose heart opened by the Lord, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.” The Lord makes her heart interested unto the spiritual things which were spoken of Paul. Of course, she understand it that's why she became interested.
