    Do you believe that we are now in Tribulations? That we only have 7 years left on earth? Then the Rapture takes place.

    Hello Jesse

    About the people that have not heard of Jesus you quote Romans 1:20. OK but in those verses people will not have an excuse for not believing in the existence of God. But God who? Muslims believe in God, but in another God. So for the muslims that in the past never heard of Jesus but still believed in a God (the one they knew), how is God going to judge them? This is where, I think, verses in Romans 1:11-16 come in. In my understanding they will be judged according to their life, according to what they know it is right, according to what their consience says to them, and we all know that there is not a single man in the world who doesn't know what is right or wrong. How strict is God going to be to them? One cannot know really.

    But even for the other religions today who have heard of Jesus, is it enough that they have heard of Jesus? Is that considered that Jesus was preached to them? Ans if Jesus was actually preached to them, without any proof, say by those denominations like Catholics etc, is this enough? In verse John 15:24 it says "If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father." Which means, if I get it right, that if the one who preaches about Jesus is unable to bring forth a proof that God exists people do not sin if not believing. See what Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."

    Paul's preaching was not just words but with proof of God's power. Paul Himself wouldn't believe in Jesus if Jesus didn't appear to him. Same with Sergius Paulus in Cyprus, same with the guard in Philippii. So we see that Gospel was preach with proof



    Now let's go to us nowadays. Is it enough that we preach the Gospel without the power that God showed in the early times?

    Part 1

    Hello Ronald

    I have read your post to Grae and I have everything into consideration. A few things i thought about...

    In the parable/real story of those two persons Jesus is recorded to use the name Hades (or Ades). This name really comes from the ancient greek mythology, it was a horrible place where the souls of the dead spent the eternity in a form of like shadows in a condition of semi-awareness. In Ades there was a place called the Elysia fields where the souls of heros and virtuous people live in joy. There was another place called Tartarus which was the most horrible and deepest place of Ades. The whole thing resembles a lot with the description in Luke. Also the name/place Tartarus (together with the name Abyss=bottomless in greek) is used by Paul as the place where demons are imprisoned if they disobey God. Luke was Greek, his gospel was written for the Greeks, so it is logical that he may have used pictures from their mythology to make them understand better what he talks about. Paul also used greek names since he mainly preached the gospel in Greece. Also the Septuagint ancient translation of the OT from Hebrew to Greek uses the name Ades where the Hebrew text uses the word "Sheol". So greek speaking Jews at that time were familiar with the word Ades and what it represants.. But I find it hard to believe that Jesus originally used greek names in his preaching to Jews. He most probably used the name "Sheol", and it seems very unlikely that He used greek representations to teach ordinary and mainly uneducated Jew people. He most probably used images from the Old Testament. So everything is in consideration... Nevertheless the point is that people who do not believe in Jesus and die in their sins will have a horrible end, which will last forever.

    To be cont..

    Now in verse Matthew 27:53 the word "egersis" literally means "rising" and is another way of saying resurrection, like rising from the dead. If I understand well, you mean that those people that were resurrected were the ones that Jesus meant in John 5:28-29 so as to prove to Jews that He is the Son of God? Right? But verse 29 says "And shall (the resurrected people) come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." So it seems to me that Jesus talks about the future resurrection of the dead and the consequent judgement. Anyway ...

    Now I also have a question. What time was Jesus crucified? In Mark 15:25 it says 3rd hour, that is 6+3=9 o'cock in the morning. Right? But in John 19:14, it is 6th hour (12 at noon) and Jesus is still standing infront of Pilatus.

    Thank You for your response. The one verse Jesus authenticates the entire Old Testament. If I find it I will let you know what it is.

    Yes it means we must take importance notice of Jesus says and not says .Gospel of John chapter twenty one verses twenty to twenty four show us it matters what Jesus says and does not says .Jesus says he is son of God never days he is God we say that but we are not Jesus we can't add words not said or take words away from what is said very important not do this .

    When God looked at the blood atonement and saw it wasn't changing the Sun the Holy Spirit said prepare me a body and I will go down and give myself as an offering was it God that enter that body himself and came to earth himself and dwell among us for a short period of time
  • Jesse - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Grace,

    Matthew 13:55 gives us the names of Jesus' brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas. He had sisters (plural) also but the bible does not give us their names or how many.
  • Jesse - In Reply - 3 years ago
    James,

    Perhaps Matthew 5:17-20?

  • Joseph Perry - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I gather you didn't read the whole post. Try again. You don't have to know anything about the OT to be a Christian. Christ did all he could to bring the Jews unto Him. Read Jorn 3:22-36. No, read John 1-36. Two events are covered: The New Birth (1-21) and John's Last Testimony (22-36)

    Why did Nicodemus visit Jesus by night? What was the reason for his visit?

    Nicodemus never got to ask the question he wanted to ask, "Who are you?" Jesus told him what he needed to know. John 3:1-9

    The balance of this encounter (10-21) is what made (1-9) possible. Jesus was here to fulfill the Covenant and provide a new one. That would take place a few years later with the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

    What did you learn from John 3:22-36?

    As you have noticed I don't use single verses, there aren't that many that can be used by themselves.

    Most references to the OT are there to show Jew that Jesus is Christ. This problem existed from to start of the ministry. Want to join me in a study of Discipleship? I'm working on it now.
  • JANET on Revelation 22 - 3 years ago
    Could someone tell me, when you die, do you go straight to heaven, or are you "in the grave" awaiting the Lord Jesus to raise you from the dead when he comes back again? I just feel quite confused as to what happens when you die.

    Many thanks,

    Dear Vince,

    Thank you for the reminder to pray for the situation in Ukraine. I will pray today.

    Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that You will bring an end to the war in Ukraine by defeating Russian forces and deposing Vladimar Putin. Bring release from the Russian citizens from the grip of communism and the dictator leadership of Putin. Destroy the works of communism in Russia and bring about a better government for these people.'

    Protect the people of Ukraine from the aggression of Russian soldiers. Foil the plans of the Russian military towards Ukraine. Help the Ukrainian army and President Zelinsky to gain victory over this Russian invasion and restore peace to this country by allowing them to keep their sovereignty as an independent nation. Care for the people of Ukraine who have been displaced by this war and bless those in the neighboring countries who have given Ukrainian refugees shelter and protection within their own homes.

    We ask this of You, Father, in the name of Your Son. Jesus. Amen.

    Dear David, I am keeping you in my prayers.

    Heavenly Father, David is requesting prayers for himself, and his wife Kristie, and his family. Help them in their needs. Fulfill them and bless them today. If this is the right job for David, give it to him, Father.

    You know all the struggles and challenges David and his family have been facing. Cover them all with Your mercy and grace. Bless them in every way and demonstrate to them Your providence and loving concern for each of them. Help them to grow in faith and love of You. Teach them from Your Word and keep them in the straight paths You set before them. Deliver them from everything that the evil one throws at them and protect them from being harmed by evil.

    We ask this of You, Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.

  • Randy McGuire on Romans 8 - 3 years ago
    I can't help to think of what scripture teaches us when reading and studying the book of Romans. All of God's creation is seeking deliverance but only those that have been born again will find this deliverance in Christ alone. Only those that have the spirit of God have hope when seeing death all around us. We see and know the world is fallen, and creation is groaning longing for God since the fall of Man. Creation itself teaches us that they is a God and that there is a curse. People will be without excuse teaching some other way to heaven and deny the Lord Jesus that hung and died for all that would believe in him. The world that is fallen a world full of religion has polluted the minds of so many by bring in damnable heresies. Yes, he is God, you bunch devils, you

    religious Pharisees and Sadducees. This is for the real religious that have not the spirit and those that don't believe in the resurrection. Hell Fire and brimstone preach let's preach Christ. Read how Jesus spoke to this crowd. Thank Lord for this it was good.

  • Daniel - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Amen. Victoria's answer is exactly how we should think regarding this. God asks we train them up (the children). This means that the parents have a choice of where their children are led to and whose hands they are put in the care in. God also holds both accountable.

    As much as it may seem like everyone knows about the LGBT teaching to children in schools today -- not all parents are aware of what that really means. The school system may have a stricter policy and sometimes the child comes home and says (let's say a boy), "Mom & Dad...I've transitioned into a girl." This has really happened and when the parents investigated into it -- turns out a teacher told them in secret. We have to be extremely careful with whom we trust to leave our children with these days. There's a great wickedness out there.
  • James H Bedsworth - 3 years ago
    I have tried to find the scripture which is a single verse where Jesus makes a statement that asserts and authenticates the entire Old Testament they all used was correct in every respect. My belief this scripture is in Matthew or Luke. Any help in finding the scripture that Jesus validated the complete Old Testament the Levites, High Priest, Priesthood, Sadducees, and Pharisees had used and relied on was what had been given and protected.

    Thank You,

  • Alex N - In Reply - 3 years ago
    GM Jesse very well but let me tell you that Isaiah 11:1 mentions a Grandson. Solomon was the Granson in the Davidic kingdom,...Just as Solomon the Granson came out of Davids loins....So the H.G. will come out of Christ loins meaning his Words his breath....Remember when he breathe on them they received the H.G.....Isaiah lived approx. 300 yrs after this Davidic kingdom but Isaiah was still preaching a Davidic kingdom was coming in the last days....A Jesse,David Solomon type of a kingdom was coming in the last days when the lord will set his hand AGAIN a 2 nd time to recover his ppl...In Isaiah 11:11

    ......Remember God wd not let David the son build that great Temple.....He wd only let Solomon the granson build the temple and Jesus tells us a greater then Solomon is here....The H.G. is a greater and wiser king then Solomon that is gonna build a greater Temple in our hearts and minds and in every fiber of our being....As Jesus said the kingdom is gona be with you....Our bodies is now his temple....Abide in me and i in you....We are gonna marry the H.G. THE GRANSON....As a young man marries a virgin so shall thy SONS ( the H.G. ) marry thee.....As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride so shall thy God rejoice over thee.... Isaiah 62:5...The H.G. is our son simply b/c we have to birth the H.G. That Child of Promise the son of man and is also the bridegroom....And Jesus indentifies with this Jesse/David/Solomon Kingdom....Saying i am the root and offspring of David the bright and the moring star....But Jesus said these things are HID ( they make zero sense ) to the wise and prudent but are revealed unto babes.....The babes and sucklings he mentions ..Gods Grandchildren.. Spirits the H.G......An Israel of God.....That new born babe desiring the sincere milk of the word is the H.G. the Grandson our new heart and new spirit....Only Jesus can father this spritual child...As Isaiah refers to him JESUS .as everlasting FATHER....Without his seed the H.G. cannot be born in us
