2 Corinthians Chapter 13 Discussion

The LORD be praised in all things. HIS love, mercies, and grace be foremost in our hearts as we go forth proclaiming the Salvation of the LORD. May we be found faithful in everything we do in HIS name.

May we be diligent in prayer as we pray for our nation's leaders to turn to the salvation and authority of the LORD JESUS CHRIST as we face our current economic, social, political, and religious woes.

Thank You LORD for hearing and answering our prayers. Amen, even so LORD come quickly.

Chapter 13:5 Means One faith, which is Holiness. when Jesus sent His Apostles out He sent them out with one belief. Amen!

Maybe they helped Paul when Paul wasn't able to? Paul could have been in prison or otherwise needing assistance.

Paul refers to Titus helping him before:

2 Corinthians 12:18 and with him sent a "brother" who may have been Lucas.

2 Corinthians 2:13

2 Corinthians 7:6

Why at the end of 2 Corinthians does your bible say it was written by Titus and Lucas, when it was written by Paul?

Is their a bible verse that talks about friends??

Elohim is the Hebrew word for God that appears in the very first sentence of the Bible. we remember that he is the one who began it all. This ancient name for God contains the idea of God's creative power as well as his authority and sovereignty.

I am listening to a topic on YouTube and in it they are calling God (Elohim), and Jesus (Yahshua). Are these names some where in the Bible?

That was a great testimony you shared, Michael. It was a joy to read of your fire for the Lord & His Word. May He bless you & encourage you in your endeavours for His Kingdom.

Amen Brother,

When I was in Rome carrying the Cross, I ran into a precious family of Ex -JW's

Who were diligently passing out salvation tracts to everyone in front of the Main Train station in Rome.

My friend Brian who was carrying a cross with me recognized The Father of the family. His name was Eric Gresingobber. Brian said the Eric had came to Christ for the Nations while Brian was enrolled and taught the students how to witness to JW'

Apearantly he and his family were high up in the watchtower society when the whole family got saved.

The Father and Mother and two 20 year old sons were with an Ex- Catholic Preist who was married to an Ex- Catholic Nun. This team who were like the black sheep of their past were passing out Tracts and preaching JESUS to everything that moved.

They were a great blessing to Brian and I, as we had ran out of salvation tracts and were hitting print shops to make more. They gave us thousands of them.

Eric would ask me each day if I was going over to the moslem area again.

He enjoyed listening to the battle I would have with them, when they would sworn around me demanding of what I thought about Mohammed.

I have watched JESUS fall on them as I spoke HIS Word.

That's very good that you could share with them in that way. Though I suspect that they may not be as well informed with their own Scriptures. The New World Translation Bible translates 2 Corinthians 13:5 (in part): "Or do you not recognize that Jesus Christ is in union with you?" Once again, they conveniently change the Greek from "in you" to "union with you" - quite a change & quite a difference to the original Greek. So, the Son of God Who indwells us (by His Spirit) all of a sudden becomes one that is 'joined' to us, thereby negating the omni-present power of the Saviour.

And of course, Revelation chapter 1 speaks wholly of Jesus Christ & His claim, even in verse 8, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." And this shows the full Deity of Christ, to which of course the JW could never see or agree to. It is tough going with them, since they use a translation that has been adequately changed to deny Jesus His rightful position in the Godhead. But keep at it, brother. I too have a great time with them, so much so, that they avoid my house altogether in their 'travels'.

I have used this verse many times while preaching to JW's and have had them concede. After having them agree with me that only God can be Omi-present I then drop this verse explaining that if JESUS is in many people at once then he is Omni-present thus having the authority of God.

I also like showing them Revelation 1 and asking them who the alpha and omega is, who is this person who says: I am the beginning and the end?

They will say: it is Jehovah.

I will then ask them to read the next part; I am he that liveth and was dead and behold, I am alive forever more.

JESUS Is LORD!

Thank you Carolyn. Actually, I don't have all the answers - they're all from God's Word & should be contributed to those seeking answers. So often, questions go unanswered for various reasons, which I'm sure can be quite discouraging to those who are earnestly seeking, so it's my prayer that, not just my response, but others also, will be of some benefit & may even foster some discussion that could add to our knowledge of the Word. After all, that's why we're all here: to enjoy the Word shared & fellowship with one another as the family of God. Blessings.

I'm so glad you have all the answers.

Just to be theological & maybe, a little pedantic, though we often read of Christ being in us ( Colossians 1:27), the reality is that Christ, as God Who is also Man, is presently seated at the right hand of the Father ( Luke 22:69, Colossians 3:1). So when it is said that Christ is in us, we actually mean that He is there by His Spirit ( Romans 8:9-11; 1 Corinthians 3:16). While it's not wrong to say that Christ lives in us, the correct understanding of this is that Christ is there by His Spirit in all who have been born again by Him.

This is a test to tell rather you are in the True Faith.

Is JESUS CHRIST in You.

If the answer is Yes. Then You are in the Faith, especially if you can hear His Voice and are following Him.

If not then you are reprobate from the Faith.

Now we know that only God can be omni-present. That is to be in more than one place at one time.

So if JESUS Christ is in more than a million people at any one moment, then He is more than a man. 2 Corinthians 13:5

The minute we die we are with the

It's totally scriptural: " Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace and the God of love and peace shall be with you." Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Saints should always have peace and joy because we live under the godly Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord. This is a marvelous way to live.

Do not presume to begin your comment by telling someone they are wrong. The chapter shows rangling and disputing and such discussions when in truth? It is God's position to correct someone if they are writing words which go against the truth of God's word. Then you will get off on a discussion of who is more knowledgeable or who has had God use them. Let God correct...and every man a liar.

Amen.

Dear Brother Steve Morrow; You always post the Scriptures; and we know that there's nothing that can be said or done against the Word. But many; whether through ignorance or misteaching, or through hatred, hostility, opposition and contradiction; put forth everything conceivable INSTEAD OF CHRIST and His Glad Tidings. The LORD grant us good judgment what to say and how to say it as the Lord sees!

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. We will know them by there fruits.

V. 7 - " ..... though we be as reprobates." This confused me at first, until I 'reasoned' it out. We who believe the truth of Jesus are 'reprobates' to the Jews (Pharisees, Sadducees, etc.), not reprobates to the truth. To the unbelieving Jews we have left the God of the O.T., but we haven't - Jehovah is Jesus of the N.T. The name Jehovah translates to Jesus, Acts 2:37-38, 4:12.

We must continue to examine ourselves to make sure we are in the faith. We need to compare our words and actions with God's standards sat out in the Bible and see whether we measure up.

Your comment sounds dangerously close to a "works for salvation" message. God saves those who trust in His Son to the uttermost. We may wander off the heavenly path, but our faithful Father will seek us out, and never forsake us.

The truth of the word of God cannot change

Paul warns the Corinthians of his coming and that they should examine themselves to see if they are living right and displaying the fruits of the Spirit. If they are in right standing with God then they would know where he stands. He encourages them to remain faithful and to believe in themselves even though others may see them otherwise.

Corinthians changed into christ

after chapter 13 I have found that to just have faith is not enough . Our bodies must be clean of everything . I still have one more thing to go before my mind and body are ready to be a temple . I know that our savior lives and one day we shall all see him in his glory .
