Hi Mrs Edward.

From verses 1-35 it appears he's talking to both the disciples and the multitude. verses 36-52 he's talking to the disciples. And verses 53-58 he's speaking to those in his own country. I'm not sure if his disciples was with him there.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

Can you tell me which verses in Matthew 13 is Jesus talking to his disciples?

Which versus is he talking to the multitude?

Thank you

Hi Zeke.

Good Question. Who knows?

Perhaps God knew she would love the idea. Look at her response

Here's. Mary.

Luke 1:38. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

Elizabeth. "Her cousin"

Luke 1:42. And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Mary

Luke 1:46-55. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

She seemed honored.

God bless.

i love god

Defame? He defamed himself. Of course Jesus loves him and forgave him but just maybe, he was chosen to be an example of the things we are NOT supposed to do. Peter only wrote 2 books. Paul wrote most of them.

@ Alex N: Thank You. It seems like the more I read the Scriptures the deeper they get. Nothing is as it seems.

Ben if that's the case apparently God is satisfied with what is left.

Don't you trust The Lords ability to keep and reserve what is so important to the reader, Like his plan of Salvation?

Or are you saying man was able to out wit God by simply taking few pages out of the scriptures and ruin what he committed to us in his word that is vital to our salvation?

Do you trust the "ABILITY" of the all knowing creator of the universe more than what falible Dr Bart Ehrman has to say?

Please answer.

God bless.

Hi Chris; When we speak of the Old Testament, also known as the Mosaic Law, it specifically contained laws such as unclean animals, clean animals, feast days, new moons and different sabbaths. All of these are found in the book of Leviticus, which is the book of the law. To comprehend what the scriptures teach a thorough study should be applied indeed from all books on that doctrine, One huge difference between the Old Testament and the old covenant, is that Moses wrote the Old Testament by hand, while God wrote with his finger the old covenant. Exodus 31:18 These are different, while the one is called the ceremonial law, the other is called the moral law, they are not the same thing, neither can we join them together as one law. While the Old Testament was destroyed by the Lord Jesus on Calvary Eph. 2:14-16 & Colossians 2:14-15 the old covenant was fulfilled by Christ and then expired Mat. 5:18 & Loke 16:16 after being expired it was then dead Romans 7:4 & Romans 7:6 Meaning they both had different beginnings, and different commandments, and a different endings. One is called a Testament but the other is called a covenant, these do not have the same meaning, you cannot bring them together as one. Today I preached from 11 Timothy 2:15 part of the sermon was rightly dividing the word of truth, we must divide the Old Testament from the old covenant, we must also divide the Old Testament from the New Testament, and the old covenant from the new covenant. Today the New Testament has 7 categories, 1. least commandments, 2. doctrines, 3. unconditional promises, 4. conditional promises, 5. prophecy, 6. faith without works and 7. faith with works. On the other hand the new covenant only has two greatest commandments, love God with all the heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. This is why we must keep them separate, in order to rightly divide the word of truth, otherwise we do a great injustice to the truth of the word of God.

Perhaps you should listen to some youtube lectures of Dr Bart Ehrman and learn about the history of the Bible. You can learn that there have been many additions to and subtractions to the writings.

Syspus is not a word found in the Bible. In case you're thinking of Sisyphus, he was a king & founder of Ephyra (later, Corinth) & later immortalized in Greek mythology. But if you're thinking of Crispus, he was a chief ruler of a synagogue who later became born again & was baptized by the Apostle Paul ( Acts 18:8; 1 Corinthians 1:14).

Did God give Mary the free will to : not be used for the immaculate conception of jesus ? Or was there no choice for her?

Thanks GiGi.

IF!! you believe the jkv bible. God breathe your soul into your body then, your soul bring you alive

Your soul enters the body with your first breath and leaves your body with your last breath

Genesis 2:7

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

King James Version (KJV

I was asking if our souls are suppose to go to Heaven how are we suppose to actually know that if we don't know they're there in the first place.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."

King James Version (KJV) tells us this

Where does the soul go when we die? kjv scriptures

Hi Jocelynne.

Can you rephrase your question?

Thanks in advance.

God bless.

Thanks again, S.Spencer..

I'm enjoying reading your posts today. It is refreshing.

In short, they disobeyed God.

1.) Adam let his wife (eve) wonder about alone in the garden.

2.) Eve let another man speak to her without having her husband present.

3.) Eve added in to Scripture:

"But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." - Said Eve Genesis 3:3

However God said "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Genesis 2:17; She could touch the fruit, but she was commanded not to eat it.

4.) Adam listened to Eve, instead of listening to his Father

Dear Glenn

The reference about Jacob and Esau are a refer nice to God's omniscience, that God knew before creation all that would ever happen, all that anyone would think, say, and do.

It is it talking about Jacob and Esau existing prior to conception.

In speaking by about Jeremiah, Gid is speaks my about what He had pre-ordained not about Jeremiah existing prior to conception.

Again, since these verses do not prove a spiritual pre-existence of humans, I am open for you to supply Scripture that clearly teaches this.

You're welcome GiGi.

I listen to him on blue letter bible audio.

The natural man.

Part 1 of 2.

In1 Corinthians 2:6-16, the natural man is compared to the spiritual man and the carnal man. Verse 14 says, "A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised" (NASB). This verse does not define the natural man, as such; rather, it uses the term to describe one who does not understand God's words and thoughts. The one who can understand God's words is a "spiritual" man (verse 15).

Dr. Henry Morris, in theNew Defender's Study Bible, gives this comment on verse 14: "The 'natural' man, still unsaved, cannot appreciate spiritual truths. He must first understand Christ's atoning sacrifice for him, but even that is 'foolishness' to him (1:18) until the Holy Spirit Himself convicts him of its reality ( John 16:7-11)." Basically, the "natural" man is one who does not have the Holy Spirit residing within him. As Jesus said, "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit" ( John 3:6).

Let's look at some other uses in the Bible of the wordnatural. InRomans 11:21we read, "For if God did not spare thenaturalbranches, neither will He spare you." In1 Corinthians 15:44-46, "It is sown anaturalbody, it is raised aspiritual body. If there is anaturalbody, then there is also a spiritual body. However the spiritual is not first, but thenatural; then the spiritual." Ezekiel 44:31speaks of anaturaldeath. Daniel 10:8speaks of anaturalcolor. James 1:23speaks of anaturalface, andJames 3:15states, "This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly,natural, demonic."

Natural man.

Part 2 of 2.

In1 Corinthians 2, Paul uses the wordnaturalto refer to someone still in his original (sinful) state. The Greek wordpsuchikos("natural") can be defined as "animal as opposed to "spiritual." Natural men are those who are occupied with the things of this material world to the exclusion of the things of God. They are led by instinct rather than by the Spirit of God. They intuitively choose sin over righteousness. They are the "pagans" Jesus refers to inMatthew 6:32who only seek after the things of this world.

The supernatural work of God is to change the natural man into a spiritual one. When a person trusts Christ, God exchanges what is natural (received from Adam) for what is spiritual (received from Christ). "As in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive" ( 1 Corinthians 15:22). The Christian life is, therefore, a supernatural one. We do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit ( Romans 8:1).

Another gem from J vernon mcgee.

God bless.

Ronald

I do don't think that you were negating Adam and Eve's free will. I understood that you were speaks my to God's sovereignty and omniscience in accomplishing all that he planned for the salvation of humanity and ultimate defeat of Satan, sin and evil. And I concur with your viewpoint on this.

Thanks S. Spencer

That was good read

I miss listening to McGee on the radio.

Good night what is apollos water

Sanctification of the Saint

By J vernon mcgee.

Part 1 of 6

Now Paul moves out of this area into another area: sanctification. Being justified by faith, we have now come to the place where God sanctifies us. After all, justification does not change our hearts; we're still the same kind of persons. Therefore, God wants to move into our lives and sanctify us, make us better people than we are. And His method, of course, is through the Holy Spirit. Paul presents this in a very wonderful way.

Potential Sanctification

First of all Paul shows us potential sanctification:

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned.( Romans 5:12)

Now when he says, "All have sinned," he's not talking about our acts of sin. Rather he's referring to the sin that Adam committed when he disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden which, he says, is your sin and my sin. Immediately someone will resent that. He will say, "Why should I be charged with Adam's sin? I don't want Adam being the one to choose for me. I want to make the choice." Well, my friend, whether you like it or not, it just so happens that the choice of your ancestors turns out to be your choice as well.

I had a grandfather who lived in Northern Ireland. He was a Scotsman and, believe me, he knew what persecution was. He left Northern Ireland and came to Georgia; he didn't like Georgia either - grandfather was a hard fellow to please - so he went on over to Mississippi to live and finally ended up in Texas, for that's where he's buried. May I say to you, years ago when he decided to come to the United States, I came to the United States. That's when I came. His decision was my decision. Whether I like it or not (and I like it) he came to this country. I'm glad he didn't stay in Northern Ireland, because if he had I'd be over there today. I'm glad that he came to this country; his decision was my decision.

Sanctification.

Part 2 of 6.

Continued-

Adam's decision is our decision whether we like it or not. That was God's way in order that He might justify you and me by faith, if you please. That is the basis of sanctification because now He is enabled to take us out of the old Adam and put us in the new Adam. That new

Adam is the Lord Jesus Christ. We are put in Him by faith, and that is the method by which God is able to sanctify us today.

Positional Sanctification

Then Paul talks about positional sanctification. This is one of the most debated and controversial passages in the Scripture:

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?( Romans 6:1)

And here's God's answer: "God forbid" or, "Let it not be." If you think that because you are saved by grace you can live in sin, you are not saved, my friend. It is very obvious here that Paul is making that clear - "Let it not be." If you have been saved by the grace of God, you will not go on living in sin. You have been given a new nature. He tells us three things that must be ours if we are to be sanctified.

1. First of all, we are to know something:

Know ye not that, as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?( Romans 6:3)

A literal translation would be: Are you ignorant that so many of us who were identified into union with Jesus Christ were identified in His death?

2. Then we are to identify with something:

Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death....( Romans 6:4)

This verse has nothing in the world to do with water; rather, it has to do with identification. The word "baptize" means identification with something. We are identified with Christ. When Christ died over 1900 years ago, I died; and you died if you are in Christ today. When He was raised from the dead, you and I were raised from the dead so that now we are in a new Head of the human race. That new Head of the human race is the Lord Jesus Christ.
