John 6:22-40 God bless us all in Jesus holy name, love u all in Christ.

I don't have knowledge of portions of this 'gospel' being found in the DSS. And I can understand your view of these writings, that which engenders greater authenticity to Jesus' Life & Divinity, even filling that wide gap of missing years of His Life not recorded in the Bible, but I see this book differently.

There are two matters here: I believe that Jesus was sinless from birth to the day of His Death & Resurrection - He had no sin nature to which Satan could appeal to, unless like us sinners who can easily & justifiably give in to Satan's temptations & seductions. Whereas in this Infancy Gospel, I see Jesus' Character totally out of line with sinlessness & holiness. If Jesus can curse & kill a boy who emptied out the water Jesus had collected; or get so angry so as to kill another boy for accidentally bumping Him, then I'm sorry, this is not the Jesus of the Bible, Who was spotless & did nothing evil, not even with a whiff of sin.

Secondly, I accept only the Bible as we have now, as the full body of Truth that is given to us to know & understand. Everything else has to be measured up against it, and if that's not to be the case, what other yardstick do we use to ensure that we're reading the Truth? I understand that some folk accept all Scripture, whether canonized, apocryphal or other spurious writings as valid, because it is there for their learning. However, I place much greater stringent controls on what should be accepted, simply because my faith & manner of living before God depend on it. Therefore, the life of Jesus, whether lived as a child or a man, has to be consistent, without any sin or hypocrisy evident. Unfortunately, this Infancy Gospel actually causes me to question Jesus' purity rather than to be blessed by His Acts of Divinity.

I'm curious to why you're asking? I may be able to help more with the reasoning of the thought behind the question.

I think some have interpreted: Revelation 12:4, not as "stars" in concordance in this website; defined ="star"

Hints of more= Mark 13:25

Web definitions of today's English

Emulation = definition; ambition to equal or excel others, usually by imitation. Example try to be like the other guy, Copying someone to compete with them.

The definition for today of Sedition was changed during a time referred to as the " Elizabethan Era, carried into the US Colonies,

Sedition = speech or conduct, causing people to rebel against governing authority.

This meaning of Sedition became controversial after the American Independence.

1798 new legal definitions were brought, called "alien & sedition acts" to prevent French takeover, on & on.

Biblical in this website's concordance = sedition = division, dissention, standing appart, Romans 16:17, 1Corinthians 3:3,

Probably more towards causing division within the body of Christ.

Emulation = envy, jealousy, indignation,

This website also had = envious contentious rivalry, jealousy with these verses listed : Romans 13:13, 1Corinthians 3:3, James 3:14,16, & several others noted with variance in original texts. If you'd like to break it down even more, that tool is available. If you click on the verse: Galatians 5:20, the verse page at the bottom, has every word in verse broken down, tap the words for translation & definition.

Hopefully this is helpful

Thank you for your reply...I actually viewed this gospel differently, and as giving credence to Jesus' divinity due to his unbelievable powers, and the many miracles he performed, ... and also, as a way to give credence to the authority of the Age of Accountability...I did not see him as a spoiled magician. I understand that portions of this gospel have been found in the Dead Sea Scrolls...any knowledge of that? I do see how some people i.e. Catholics, could interpret it differently, and thus would feel that it should be omitted.

You know that there are many Bibles in foreign countries that contain additional gospels that our KJV 66 do not contain!

What is sedition and emulation?

So knowing what the gender of nouns (that in English are of neutral gender) are in Hebrew and Greek explains why they are often presented as women or men. This happens in many other languages like say German, neutral gender nouns are not always neutral but may be masculine or feminine. Every language has its own peculiarities.(by the way "language, tongue"is "her" in Greek)

May God bless and protect you and your husband , much love in Christ .

May God bless you Ronald , do not be afraid , trust in God , He will put you where you are supposed to be .

Tnank ylou flr your answer!

Wow, thank you, Suze. This gives me some meat for thought. I have never been raised with a Baptist doctrine and was always taught that you can lose your salvation if you turn entirely away from God. Since I am now at a Baptist church, I get a little nervous whenever the subject comes up in either preaching or just talking with someone. I've always felt like a sheep that has joined another flock, but they haven't figured out yet that I'm not of their flock. I've heard the stories of how some Baptists will lift this doctrine up and look down upon everyone who says they don't believe in it. Thank you very much for making me think more about my convictions and less about the fears I have had during this time.

Dear all of you, Jerusalem is a picture of the bride, the one who will get ready. For the Lord's return. Mount Zion is also nearby.

When the Bible the holy scripture speaks of her,[1] it is meant that all men are united in this image. Because men embrace both him and her.

But in the world there is a difference between us. But not with God there we are the same because we all are His bride.

If we read for examples in The Song of High, we get a picture of how he and she will be one more with each other and God. So this the image can cover simple people, lonely, and those who only will stay with the Lord. This image picture is for all to se but not all cant understand. The eartly cant see this unfortunately.

Dear my only love and hope, Jesus Christ, know Lord, i love your community, long to come to God's city of Jerusalem. My heart so longs for it so it is in pain, after you my God, Jesus Christ forever. There's no one above You're the only one. Thank u all God bless us in Jesus holy name, love u all in Christ

Israel was established as a nation in 1948! No pun but your timeline is a bit off! At least 74 years off! There's a few missing links that has to connect that we're embarking upon before the "Second Coming" ie soon rise of the Antichrist taking his platform world center stage bringing his false peacehis mark the RFIDCHIP IN the hand and forehead Rev13:15-18 globally mandated but already here and many have already been deceived into taking it Rev.19:20global martyrdom of true followers of Jesus Yashua that missed the marriage supper of the Lamb! Not all Saints are invited Rev.19:6 the ready remnant raptured 1 Thes.4:13-18 Matt.24:40-42 will be there while the great tribulation is transpiring that the ready Remnant will be spared from! Rev.3:10 Luke 21:36 Not to mention the one world religion ran by the false prophet aka Pope F who already established his headquarters in Dubai to get the ball rolling and already has laws and consequences in place ready for those who violate their "Chrislam" Religion! You see many folk especially tragically the "Saints" don't realize we're a lot further along in Bible prophecy than many folk believe! Luke 12:56 Repent from sin Acts 3:19 after receiving Jesus in your heart and His Holy Spirit (imperative) asking His forgiveness for all your sins loving Him with everything within you and each other as we love ourselves forgiving everyone! He only gives the Holy Ghost to those who OBEY Him! Acts 5:32 Ecc.12:13 1 John 2:4 James 2:10 Let go of the cares of this life ie ungodly people places and things fast pray read His Word daily and spread His Gospel to those who will hear! Don't hold nothing back or there will be eternal consequences and will be held accountable when it's all said and done! Ez.3:18-21 We must be holy and strive for perfection DAILY!

Hi Rosalia , every day ,for about the last three months , I've been helping my elderly and ill parents with house work shopping etc . I myself have health problems , so every day I ask God , through the name of Jesus Christ my Saviour and High Priest , to give me the strength and energy that I need to get through the day and do the things that I need to do . I think Paul was asking for the same things that I do , smiley face .

Amen Brother Alex, Revelation 5

Six seals (of the BOOK of life) were all opened, beginning with Christ ministry in the flesh and ending with his death and resurrection.

Between the sixth seal ( Revelation 6:12-17 Christ's death and resurrection) and the seventh seal ( Revelation 8:1 pentecost) there was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour; 45 days.

No activity (silence) of the Holy Ghost, for 45 days, from resurrection to pentecost.

The seventh seal was open at pentecost with the out pouring of the Holy Ghost.

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be take away, and the abomination that maketh desolate BE SET UP, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

42 months; three and a half years, Christ's ministry in the flesh.

Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth (for the seventh seal), and cometh to the one thousand three hundred five and thirty days.

1335 minus 1290 equals 45 days: passover till feast of the first fruits ..... Pentecost .....Christ second coming and minstry as the Holy Ghost.

May God give us eyes to see and ears to hear.

God Bless you.

Hey Giannis,

That's ok, I am not skilled in Greek or Hebrew.

I still respectfully disagree; my understanding is our soul is who we are. Genesis 2:7 When God breathed into Adam, and he became a living soul/being. The spirit given to us gives us life and it is what goes back to God who gave it. When we are dead there is no more breath or communication until our resurrection when this mortal puts on immortality and death is swallowed up in victory by the grace of God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you again for your reply I read your posts and I am grateful for the knowledge of Greek that you share.

God bless.

Does the Bible give a precious number in how many Angles we're cast out of heaven?

Lemme give ya my take on the 2 covenants....Under the old covenant Jesus said many are called but few are chosen...But under the New Covenant its says i will know them all from the least to the greatest... Jeremiah 31 : 34 ..The book, the New COVENANT is not opened till Rev. 5...Thats when they all sang a new song which is the New Covenant...I will know them ALL from the least to the greatest...They sand the song of Moses and the Lamb...The law will be fulfilled by the Blood of the lamb...A birthing Covenant via that good seed sown in humanity...Thats y he has to know us....After he knows us it will initiate a birth of Christ in everybody....Thats y Jeremiah saw all men in travail and BIRTH PAINS..Thats when the woman, humanity will travail in Child birth.

.....The Child which is the H.G. The spirit of truth will rule all nations...Jesus cd not elaborate on the New Covenant till after the Cross...The scripture says he wd not offend till all was fulfilled...Till heaven and earth pass not 1 jot or title will pass from the law till all is fulfilled...God told Daniel that the book ( the words of Wonder) ...living Words ... that New COVENANT wd be sealed till the last days...Thats when they sang that New Song saying thou has redemned us by thy blood unto God out of every kindred and nations and tongue...Thats everybody....If i be lifted up i will draw all men unto me...But it was not like this under the Old COVENANT...Under the old covenant many were called but few were chosen...But he paid the price for everybody....The scripture says we are ALL BOUGHT WITH A PRICE...His Blood...This New Covenant was written with his own blood.. Matthew 26 : 27....This is the new covenant in my blood, drink ye all of it for the sins of the world...Thus this NEW COVENANT is all inclusive.

Thanks Mishael,

That is a wonderful post.

Good Morning Alex,

I didn't mention the topic of our marriage to Christ. That was off topic from the original post.

I don't concur with the way you present this topic of our union with Christ because I believe your take on it involves error.

While I do believe what Scripture says about the church being the bride of Christ, I don't believe what you speak of concerning the "seed" of Christ impregnating us and believers "birthing" a baby Christ or Ghost. I think this is seriously wrong doctrine.

But we have been this route before. I do not wish to continue a conversation on with you on the topic of your reply to me.

God bless you, Alex.

Also nouns in greek like wisdom, Jerusalem, city, church, synagogue, Zion, faith, sin, hell, lake (of fire), sea, flood, fasting, prayer, sacrifice, day, night, hour and many other in the Scriptures are of feminine gender, they are "she".

Also nouns Heaven, Paradise, river, altar, Hades, angel, demon, crowd, people etc are masculine.

Dear Faith

Let me give you some verses, I think they will be helpful in your research.

Ezekiel 18:21-22

"21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live."

Ezekiel 18:24

"24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die."

GBU

To Faith,

The change that takes place in a believer at salvation is irreversible. The old nature of the sinner before he was saved is completely replaced by the new nature of Christ. Jesus has promised to never leave a believer. Can a believer leave Christ? Not like some might think, because a believer cannot go anywhere without taking his new nature in Christ with him. A true believer, one that is truly born again in Christ, cannot sin by denying Christ like an unsaved person can because Christ in new believers cannot deny Himself.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Sorry mistake, psyche is greek for soul, it is where all those psycho.. words come from.

QUESTION? PSALMS 51

Whose words, are the words in Psalms 51?

Are the words, David's words; or they, the Holy Ghost's words?

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God SPAKE as they were moved be the Holy Ghost.

2 Samuel 23:1 Now these be the last words of David ......

2 Samuel 23:2 The spirit of the Lord SPAKE by me, and his word was in my tongue.

Is not Psalms 51 a PROPHECY of Christ coming as SINFUL FLESH to be saviour of the world?

Psalms 51:13 Then will I (Holy Ghost) teach transgressors thy (the Father's) ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee (the Father).

May God give us eyes to see and ears to hear.

When Isaiah said Isaiah 62 : 5 thy sons are gonna marry thee, Thats the H.G. our 1st born our only son as Zech 12 : 10 says....We are gona marry our spritual sons which are the Children of PROMISE the H.G....The spirit and the flesh are gona be made 1....When he spat on the ground he made clay of the spittal....Which implies a marriage....His word and the ground (humanity) are gonna be made 1...As he said the field is the world....so we see a marriage in the Spirit...And he anointed the eyes of the blindman with that clay...The Clay is humanity the bride, the Church...That New Creature that is married to Christ JESUS....Why is it a new creature simply b/c man and God are gonna be made 1...Thats what a Marriage is when 2 are made 1..That was his prayer that we all might be made 1...But this is a very unique marriage, We are gonna marry our sons which is the H.G. OUR 1ST BORN OUR ONLY SON...Which is Christ the son of man...Whosoever receiveth one such Child in my name receiveth ME.

Excellent

Thank you

Gi Gi Gbu but you leave out something....The most important part is the marriage of God with humanity...We are gonna be made 1 with God..His SPIRIT AND OUR FLESH ARE GONA BE MADE 1....Thats y John said he that has the bride is the bridegroom....Our Flesh and his spirit are gonna be made 1...Thats y he has to know us,..Thats when the good seed is sown in our hearts...Being bornagain of an incorruptible seed even by the word of God that liveth ...That good seed is the living word not the written word as the letter results in death...But the spirit results in life.... Isaiah 62 : 5...As a young man marrries a virgin so shall thy sons marry thee..As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,..So shall thy God rejoice over thee.

.....Thats y Jesus was saying to whom the Word came ( his seed ) it made them Gods...Thus he has to know us...If he does not know us there will be no seed deposited in our hearts thus no Child of Promise and no kingdom...Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will IN NO WISE ENTER THERE IN...ok leme go

This is more common than we might realize. Could be used of things that produce offspring (seed). Here are a few more examples of how the female gender is used. Galatians 4:26 "But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all". 2 John 1:1 "The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth"; Revelation 12 also. I really appreciate the figures of speech in the Bible. It can really stimulate the mind.
