Discuss Luke 16 Page 14

his is the fantastic good news as we are now no longer under the heavy Tribal laws of Moses and the leadership of the old Prophets , even today 's Priests, and their father, an elected Pope and his decisions. We are free as being awakened to our identity as a Son of our Father creator as Jesus Christ, the Word of I am that I am.

Michaela...to be saved is to be redeemed, to be snatched from the jaws of hell by our Saviour. Think of it as a person out at sea drowning or in the deep end of a pool, then a lifeboat or someone comes by and pick them up out of that state or someone caught in a burning house, then a firefighter comes to their aide. It is just like that with Jesus, once you have accepted Him wholeheartedly as Lord and Saviour that is to put away all sin, He will abide in you and you will be a changed person. No one can serve two masters St. Luke 16:13 , so you must choose to either walk with Christ or live in sin. If you choose the sinful path homosexuality - being gay , then 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Galatians 5:19-21 Romans 1:18-32, makes you aware of the fact that you will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Choose wisely and turn from the ways that displeases God and seek after Him, He will deliver you from sin.

What I or you "think " of Luke 16 9 is of no consequence, is it? Only what God means by it, is valid. And only He can give a person the correct intrepretation, after rightly dividing the word, by comparing every verse from the entire bible, concerning the subject. God being soverign, certainly can not care what we "think " about anything. Again, being soverign, He does not have to "check " with us. You see, mankind has never had an original thought of his own, because only God is soverign. If mankind did, then he would be in competition with God, and the Bible declares very clearly that God is the "only " soverign.

Answer to Shmoeul nona In regards to the question what did Abraham mean when talking about the great gulf. Answer This is an insight into Hell and Paradise. The great gulf is talking about the Bottomless Pit. When Jesus descended into the heart of the earth for three days he entered into paradise. We get this from Jesus telling the thief on the cross Today though will be with me in Paradise. After three days Jesus took all of the dead saints to heaven with him.

GOD bless you.

Luke 16 13 are daughter Coleen ran away from home, she says she still believes in God, she is saved, she is 18 years old, but she says she wants to live her life, she ran away from home, living the wordly life, but says she still love God, I know what she is saying is true, but as verse says you cannot serve both, right now world views and the world got hold of her, please pray for her

The chapter is nice. Because it teaches us that there is a heaven hell and its our choice to go to either one of those places. I pray god that when I die ill go to heaven because I know that hell is not that nice.

in understanding this scripture.God said to me when I am faithful to another mans.That can also be my Pastor.so when I amfaithful to his ministry.God will give me my own

So i am to believe that if both husband and wife cheated on one another through out the marriage and the wife left and the husband divorced her on grounds of abandonment she can never marry again? The wife has become a christian shortly after she left the husband. Or does the man or the wife have to be passed away?

amen i agree if u learned pray and ask for forgive ness and repent of your sins each day keep a relationship with him amen.

what is the meaning of luke 16 9

The rich man being in hell does not mean that all rich people will go to hell Remember the rich man in acts chapter 10 whose generosity brought salvation to his house by means of peter if I may ask what would have happened to the rich man if he was generous while on earth

I thnk u ppl of God 4caring us nd loving us even on social ntwks Am happy tht we can get th bible while we are online on facebook May God bless u all

Money is neutral it s only a medium of exchange Mammon is a spirit of greed It s the word term used in the original writings Love of Mammon is the root of all evil

I ve heard people say this is a parable I personally do not believe it is I believe God is giving us a stern warning that hell is real and this is just a small preview of the hell to come in the lake of fire and brimstone The bible says as I live saith the Lord God every knee shall bend and every head shall bow and confess that I am Lord and no man comes unto the Father but by Me Every person controls their own destination you can go up or down It s your choice

Your advancement in God and life greatly depends on your commitment and faithfulness to HIS assignment in your hands.It is require of us to be faithful to our fellow men also,for God use men to test our hearts.

I beleive that we all fall short as to the way we live, so who are we to judge, yet we do! I am a strong beliver that if you have not learned to repent of your sins then you are destinty to live enternal in hell. Learn to Forgive, Learn to Love, Learn to support your Fellowman, and always trust and beleive in God.

I have found myself to be guilty of such a crime towards my sister-in-law and heer husband. They tend to do eveerything the biblle says not to' and I get so mad at them as tho I've not sin before. It would be the same if that woould have happen to me instead of the rich man. We must treat oone another as God treats all of us. I'm no better than them when I pass judgement. May God forgive me.

I believe this scripture has a twofold meaning as to who will receive you into their eternal habitation. First of all in every day life calamity times will come, disasters of all kind, fires, floods earth quakes ect. and you don't know who God will send to your aide, and it plainly infers to storing up good works or your treasures in heaven that (GOD/JERSUS will receive you into their everlasting tabernacles.

God is sure not an author of confusion. Whosoever shall divorce his wife for anyother reason other than fornication causes her to commit adultery and if he takes or marries another woman he commits adultery. Thus divorce is absolutely wrong where it is not as a result of one spouse cheating on the other. See mat 5:32. Marriage is a serious business and should not be delved into blindly. May God give us the grace to strive on Amen

Brother God do not make mistakes you say both want things to get better goods that is the will of GOD whatever made you fall in love with her from the beginning think on these things and talk to each other and I mean talk GOD IS LOVE

"And as it is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment". First point to make here is that YOU WILL DIE ONCE DAY! Everybody is going to die, some sooner than others. When a man dies he doesn't go into extinct as some believe, or purgatory, such occultic believe isn't Biblical.

It is clearly stated that you would die one day. Your death is not going to be like one of those animals, because you have the breath of God ( Gen. 2:7) in you and because Jesus shed His precious blood to wash away your sins ( Rev. 1:5), you will have give to account of every moment of your life to God ( 2 Cor. 5:10). Heaven awaits those who live a holy and spotless Christian life, on the contrary, hell fire awaits sinners, those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ ( Luke 16:19-23). Let's grow to become like Jesus, His coming is eminent!

To Johnny Jones's question on 11/07/2013 if there is a verse in the bible which answes his qustion, I had the same query and eventually I found one answer to it, which is in 1st Corinthians CH.13:12 where Paul says ''now we see but a poor reflection ,then we shall see face to face.now I know in part,then I shall know fully even as I am fully known''
Also,Jesus said in Luke 16:23, about the rich guy who died and went to hell, but he saw Lazarus sitting in the arms of father Abraham and recognized him. So, I came to the conclusion that we will recognize our relatives. I hope this will help you to come to a conclusion. God Bless You

There is hidden wisdom in God that can be of great help to the saints, and the entire universe.

As we think about the reason why Lazarus was carried into Abraham's bosom, and the rich man died, then opened his eyes in hell, being in torment. Lazarus lived by faith, and not by sight. We are justified by our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and even though Lazarus lived dependent on the crumbs from the rich man's gate, God sent the dogs to lick his sores. The rich man live in purple, and fine linen, dependent on his riches everyday. Jesus had already said man cannot serve God, and mammon. What is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God. Only by faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ can we be justified from our sins, and thus Lazarus was justified, therefore the angels carried him into Abraham's bosom. The rich man trusted in his riches, and was not justified. Not by works of righteousness which we have done that God has saved us, but because of His mercy that He has extended to us at the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. When we place our faith in Him we too will be justified in His presence. Have faith in God, and do not trust in your riches to get to heaven.

I think they are wisers than us, that is why we need to be sober and be vigilant.
The Lord has tell us, so that we will not be ignorant of devise.

The rich young man asked Jesus what shall I do to enter the kingdom? He answered sell everything and follow me. It was the day he was going to Jerusalem. Of course any man would have to be totally crazy to give up everything to follow a beggar to persecution. Today that would be considered immoral and insane. I have done these things and now have become a beggar. I sold my Ferrari to pay for the debt I incurred going to Jerusalem. I sold my forty thousand dollar watch and everything that could make me appear rich. I now ride a bicycle and have to beg for a living. I can say that in my living envelope I have seen it all. I have now reached the kingdom. From here I can lift all of humanity to a better place, the kingdom of God.

This means we have to share the little we have with others so that we can have the chance to live in Abraham's bossom

My brother,GOD is not an author of confusion.YOU have been join,no one put asunder. pls pray to GOD,He will amend your marriage. thanks.

I believe hell is located "under the earth" according to Philippians 2:10 "in heaven and on earth and 'under the earth' "
Hell enlarged herself after Jesus preached to the Old Testament saints ( 1Peter 3:18-20) in Abraham's bosom and released them from prison. Before this, a great chasm ( Luke 16:19-31) separated Hell (those in torment) from Abraham's bosom. The rich man (in hell) asked that Lazarus (in Abraham's bosom) be sent to dip the end of his finger in water and cool his tongue. Verse 26- the great chasm was fixed... no one could cross/pass over. Jesus released those in prison and Abraham's bosom was emptied, then hell enlarged herself (was expanded).
I believe this is where Catholics get the idea of purgatory (even though this place is not mentioned in the bible). Purgatory was emptied after Jesus descended into hell and released the prisoners from Abraham's bosom.
Is the idea of hell enlarging itself (and being enlarged ever since) the cause of so-called global warming???
