Discuss John 21 Page 7

John21:1-14 when God makes something clear let us not doubt or insult Him with demands for further verification

"There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples." Some scholars maintain that NATHANAEL of Cana is the same as the disciple/apostle Bartholomew ( Mark 3:18).

Bruce; God has power to give life and to take it away: no man lives any amount of time by his own will by his supposed good health or any natural means; but by the word of God! When God wants one to live nine hundred plus years; what is that a problem? "Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? FOLLOW THOU ME!" John 21:22 Whether our years are short or long!

To ''a disciple":

I have enjoyed reading your comments throughout this forum as I continue to read God's Word. Thanks, keep up the good work.

Mark; "just what is going on here? About knowing and not knowing???" That's a keen observation; and something hardly anyone seems to consider! But the matter of how and to whom the Lord reveals Himself; (even while He's standing right in front of them!); speaks to 'how' and 'to whom' He finds us when He comes. Ordinary circumstances should not be despised; and we should KNOW that "It is the Lord."

" the disciples didn't know that it was JESUS"" yet the disciple that Jesus loved told Simon Peter that it was the LORD" THEN THE DISCIPLES CAME TO SHORE AND DID NOT QUESTION HIM BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS THE LORD"
just what is going on here? About knowing and not knowing???

John 21:12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. One day we will have a glorified body like Jesus and be also able to eat fish.

Amen.

Didn't have anything to do with Peter being naked, as is being discussed.

Hi Wayne; what is your understanding of Deut.22:5? and no, I'm not going to 'come back at you' - whatever you say; I'm just interested

Stacey, it says he was naked and he put his clothes in before going ashore. Not room for a big theological reasoning or interpretation there. He just put on his clothes.Simple wording.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt. 6:33.

Robt. Bomar - I just now read your post I LIKE IT!! I've been Jesus name for 50 yrs. There are, have been several of us on here. I love to see you guys.

Jesus loves us! Just got through watching the Columbine shooting of the most precious true Christian little girl. She lived Jesus and touched millions of Souls for Jesus! " I will not be ashamed " was the Title of the movie! I then looked up today's bible verse and it started with " I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ!! Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 2:38, Acts 19:1-6, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 5:32, 1 Corinthians 14:2,22,39 John 21:15 Jesus loves y'all ! The Landon Lavigne Family

Vs. 1-6; Here is another angle of these vs. that was taught on tonight at Bible study: Jesus spent 3 yrs. with the disciples, teaching them to catch men. After His crucifixion they were so discouraged - the actual fishermen went back 'into the world' of their old life, and worked ALL NIGHT and - caught nothing. Jesus came along and by obeying Him - they caught over 150! A GOOD lesson.

V. 7: some people sure make a mountain out of a mole hill. Choke on a knat and swallow a camel.

"The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed." As we read so much and so often about this kind who so hated the Lord, and opposed Him at every opportunity; and we need to understand what it is that had them so misled, that they couldn't even care if they were God's enemies; for MANY are like this! Pride does not make authority!

To Corte on Judas - Matt.27:5

So what happened to the disciple, which betrayed?

Peters nakedness had to do with feeling the need to cover himself in the presence of the Lord because of his sin just like Adam hid himself in the presence of the Lord because his sin showed him that he was naked. Funny how people feel they need to cover their sin in the presence of the Lord but the Lord knows all things and we need to realize just like Peter, Lord you know all things.

V. 6 - tells me - we can do nothing in the spiritual realm, i.e. reaching souls for Christ, which is our MAIN purpose in His life that is in us, without Him - Acts2:38 (v. 37, "what must we do?")

We must be baptized in water in the name of Jesus to be saved.😇 I know this because I was raised in a traditional religion that said all you have to do to be saved is believe. Sorry , I can believe I am a grasshopper but does that make me one . Amen

To Pastor Troy - Why are you a pastor if you don't know the answer to Peter's nakedness.....? Anyway, it could be an allegory to his sin in denying Jesus 3 times; the sin made him naked .....? Just a stab in the dark. Maybe Peter's coat was his attempt to cover his own sin? OR - it could just be that it was summer and the nights were still hot. You sweat a lot in that work.

Any idea why Peter was naked?

The books could not have been written , that is great , Jesus was so powerful yet so humble and willing to take our place and pay our debt for the sins we all have committed that he alone is the Lord and coming KING ! No prophet before him or after him ever rose from the dead and lived to be taken up into heaven and angels with him and thousands of miracles and signs and wonders followed him !

I love this chapter!

Verse 25 shows that Jesus did so many other things that aren't even in the Bible record.

Christ alone take us home. that by faith in the word of God's grace Christ give us the faith to
believe.

Amen

He that tarries!! please respond
