Discuss John 16 Page 20

Jesus was a prophet but, oh so much more than just a prophet!!! He is the very God of the universe who through the virgin birth took on the flesh of man, and gave eternal life to whosoever will. Unless you believe He was Him the God of Gory ye shall die in your sins. HIS NAME IS JESUS. father, son, Holy Ghost

I think if you understand the history of the bible, understand the many books it was to comprise and the people who would have written them, you should consider the following with an open mind if God wills it. In John, which speaks of the 'Comforter ' is referring to a person, it is of a prophets to come, it tells us there will be words not if his own, words which he will hear, the words which he will pass onto the followers. If you dont see it or agree then understand it could be that our Lord hasn 't permitted you to hear the truth. Understand that since the first scriptures passed down from generation to generation the devil and man has been permitted and can be influenced to deceive the people in order to test the people. understand some scriptures habe lost the exact statements and editing has occured over the generations which can mislead in translation. What is the truth, the paragraph refers to a person, a person who may possibly be filled with the holy spirit, i dont know its not clear, but it is a person. If you haven 't realised who the person is yet, then keep searching for the truth because your time is being tested as well and God willing your eyes ears are opened to realise who that person. The answers are there if you look.

very greatiful to the Lord Almighty.what i underastand in john 16 24 is we should have omega faith when praying and all our desires will be fullfilled.praising his name and beliving in his name.

Jesus is the Son of God,not a prophet. John 16 23 you will see He refers to His Father and again in John16 13 to the Spirit of Truth who will come after Him.Paul Smart needs to read all the verses, instead of one verse here and there ans coming to wrong conclusions

Yes Our lord Jesus overcomed the world for us non of tribulation in this world can destroy if we lift our eyes to Jesus in every stuation we more than conquor Jesus is on our side nothing to fear about he has overcomed the devil

John 16:33 to me means that in a uncomfortable situation which happens every day in the world that no matter what when i call on Jesus and lean on him and trust in him i can rejoice for he has overcome the world and i can continue to wait on him and serve him and i can watch him work me thru it all and glorify him and all will see. When we have trpals that is when my father gets to shine.

I belive that this verse tells us that the Jesus who lived 2,000 years ago was a prophet, and if you read further in the Bible you read where Jesus talks about one coming after him.

These are the last days when men are seeking for answers but not listning to their hearts or the Holy Spirit! Time is so short it waits for no man! Let John 16:8 expload in your heart! See my facebook Kenneth Ordway

It gives hope to some of us who think God has turned against us..I really love it, it does revive me..He is a faithful God, He makes promises and fulfill them.. My God...... Amen

The account of Acts 1:14 has nothing to do with rosary. Mary praying with the disciples of Jesus upon waiting for the Holy Ghost does not mean we should make any image of Mary to pray through it.The disciples were not praying through Mary,but Mary was rather praying with them.Jesus said ''..whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name,He shall give it you'' John 16:23 KJV.Christ is the ONLY root through which we can pray to the father.NOT ROSARY.

Peace is one of the benefits of being members of the body of Christ.IN HIM we have peace( John 16:33).Jesus does not give us peace as the world does.His peace is not absence of tribulation.It is about not being afraid of or troubled by tribulation.It only comes when we trust God. Isaiah 26:3 says:THOU WILT KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, [WHOSE] MIND [IS] STAYED [ON THEE]: BECAUSE HE TRUSTETH IN THEE.

In my opinion, these are the most powerful words ever written. He's only asking us to 'Cheer up!
He has done the rest,..This man (and the ONLY man who could even begin to speak these words 'I have overcome the World' and it be true!) wants us to stay in good cheer, no matter how bad our individual world gets, just remember he has paid the price for us! So, we are the lucky ones, stay in good cheer my friends, the price has been paid. The Kingdom awaits us.

Lord Jesus said we shall ask anything in His name and we shall be given, that includes healing, annointing, finances ect. but first thing first let us ask to strengthens our relationship with Him and all other thing shall be added to us. amen.

john3;16 says god love's us that why he send his only begoten son to come and die for me anb u and that who so ever believe in him shall not parish but shall have ever lasting life...so if u know he die for u, i will like u to shout a laughter halelujah

@Sygmund - Please tell me where in the KJV bible do I find that Elijah is the name of the comforter?

The text can best be understood in the light of the incident recorded in Numbers:11:17&25.It is Infact a type of what Jesus would later demonstrate during the feast of weeks/Pentecost.In Numbers God instructs Moses to bring to before the tabernacle 70 leaders of Israel.Only when the would stand before the tabernacle would God take of the Spirit that was with Moses and impart it to the 70 elders.This is exactly what would happen when Christ would reach heaven.God would take of the Spirit that imbued Christ at baptism,and dispense with it as promised.This God did at pentecost and later the same Spirit in Peter,as he began to speak at Cornellius' villa in Caesarea,what's imparted by (God) to all in the same way that it happened during Pentecost(Acts:10:44/11:15)

God is there to supply all of our needs. If we ask anything by His name we shall receive.

That the name of Jesus Christ is supreme and it is the only name that can appeal to God's heart for all request that man can submit. That is the only name that all the debates of the world centred.You are either in His camp or not. Jesus Christ is the issue, the pillar of all. The Son of God and the Savior of the world.

In our day to day life we will find unfriendly situations. And since jesus overcame there is assuarance of us overcoming is we look forward to jesus our savier.

What ever we need from our father,we receive through Jesus Christ.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

The comforter must be a great person who is always glorify Jesus in his holy scripture.. Did anybody read Koran? I heard that there was chapter marry on that scripture

The answer to the question who is the comforter is answerable only by the comforter himself. The Holy Spirit is not a person and has no name. It is an agency like electricity, a force that makes the will of God possible on earth. The comforter is the one Jesus promised to send. When asked by his disciples what would happen in the end he answered I will send you Elijah who will lead you into all truth. So now we know the name of the comforter. We cannot be comforted by someone who is not going through the same things we are. Elijah is the enforcer of God's will on earth but he is with us right now going through the same tribulation. That is why he can comfort us because he is also with us. If you run into Elijah you will know it right away. If you hear his voice you will recognize it right away. It is the voice of the father.

I am blessed when I read ths verse.

John 1519, john 16:8, john 16:11, John 16:20,I am looking for something about if you are of the world and god and jesus is not. trying to say that with in the world men of the world will control you what you think like chip.

@Nabeel.

The comforter is the Holy Ghost. This becomes evident as you read more of the scriptures, especially the book of Acts. God bless you.

Who is the comforter?

This verse helps me to deal with my deep, dark, and ugly depression. Though day by day i wait for the day that i shall rest in YOUR arms eternally.

Jesus Christ is Lord.

This isthe duty of the holy Ghost: the Comforter.

In reading 1John 3:9 we need to define "sin".
Sin is NOT referring to our physical failings.
Instead, it's transgression of the law, 1John 3:4.

But we're NOT under the law, Rom 8:2, Rom 10:4, Gal 5:18. Hence believers CANNOT be charged with this sin.

Sin is unrighteousness, 1John 5:17.
But a believer's faith is counted for righteousness, Rom 4:5. Hence we CANNOT be charged with this sin.

Sin is unbelief in Jesus, John 16:9.
Believers CANNOT be charged with this sin.

So, as believers, we CANNOT sin.
