@Chuck,
1. The term holy ghost and holy spirit are interchangeable in the scriptures ( Luke 3:22; Luke 4:1);
2. This is one reason why people who have had bodily limbs removed still feel as if their limbs are still with them after removal of a limb;
3. The holy ghost goes to heaven after a person is deceased for a born again believer, and the unholy ghost for an unbeliever goes to hell ( Luke 16:22, 23).
@Morris,
1. The 2 men in white linen are angels ( John 20:12), the scriptures do not give any indication of where the angels went;
2. The 2 men on the way to Emmaus are sad because they believe the body of Jesus was missing, that was under the impression that Jesus was going to rid Israel of the Roman Empire ( Luke 24:21), they did not understand what was really happening ( Luke 24:25,26), their spiritual eyes have not yet been opened until verse 31;
3. It was most likely on the third day Jesus ascended into heaven to place his sinless perfect pure blood on the mercy seat for the atonement for the sins for all, especially to them that believe ( I Timothy 4:10);
4. Mary Magdalene was the first person to see and talk to Jesus after he arose from the tomb ( John 20:14-17).
@Joy,
1. If you are an Old Testament Jew maybe repentance and forgiveness starts at Jerusalem in the name of Jesus.
2. But for a New Testament born again believer repentance and forgiveness begins from a person’s heart ( Romans 10:10) and we confess our sins to Jehovah God in the name of our saviour Jesus Christ ( I John 1:9).
3. We would like people to actually quote the bible (King James Version 1611) to prove their beliefs!
@Roger,
1. The invisible God was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory ( John 1:14);
2. Born again Christians in the church age will spend eternity in the New Jerusalem after the millennial reign of Christ and white throne judgment ( Revelation 21:2, 3, 10);
3. Salvation comes by believing on the lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior ( Romans 10:9-13);
4. There are many cults that believe in God, Jehovah as their saviour, but the bible does not support believing in God, as source of salvation. We as believers must always remember to make this distinction that Jesus that died on the cross of Calvary for our sins. It becomes confusing to the unbelievers and those that are ignorant of the scriptures;
5. It is now in these days of the spirit of the anti-Christ that we must make distinctions and give heed to matters that pertain to the absolute truth of God's holy word.
To me it is the way we as Christians who have accepted Christ in our life and believe in God, that Christ died for all mankind sins and rose again. If you believe in the one and only one true God, the invisible God. This is the way we will live in heaven with Jesus as our life. That’s why he died for our sins. After God made man he told the first creation that what he made was good. It was the only way we could go to heaven and live with him. We are to follow the scripture that Almighty God gave to Paul to tell the whole world and the gentiles how we are to be. If you don’t believe in God, you cannot be with him in glory. Amen. God bless all that read and study the Holy Bible. In his son’s name.
sin of the wicked;punishable by the second death to hell according the Book of Revelation 21:8,therefore the key of salvation is the Acts 2:38,Gal.3:27, Luke 24:47-48, Acts 4:11-12,no other Name from heaven....mostly the people today no time for God because of wealth and big business..
In ref to Joy's comment. The bible states that whatsoever you do in word and deed do it all the name of Jesus. No there is no hidden meaning here he was telling his diciples to go to Jerusalem until the Holy Ghost was poured out on the day of Pentecost Ac2. 1st there was 500 that waited, then it dwindled down to 120 and then The Holy Ghost was poured out for the 1st time. Jesus is indeed God himself. Did not he say that he was the 1st and the last the begining and the ending. He said he was the almighty in rev and in Ish 9:6 he again is declared the almighty. So lets go with what the bible says it makes things easier.
Jesus means that the repentance and forgiveness should start from Jerusalem in the name of Almighty God the Creator and not in the name of Jesus. If it were to in the name of Jesus, it would have been said "And that repentance and remission of sinnes should be preached in MY NAME, among all nations, beginning at Hierusalem. So all christian should take note:
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
There's only ONE saving NAME !! And that is Jesus!
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Ephesians 4:5 ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM !
VERSE 6 - ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL,
John 1:1-14 ~~ 1 Timothy 3:16
God was manifest in the flesh !!
Their is only ONE saving name and when Jesus told the disciples to teach ALL nations baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: -20- Teaching them to observe ALL things whatsoever I have commanded you.
In Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
And now into verse 38-39
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Verse 18: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus says, "ALL POWER is given unto ME in heaven and in earth. In verse 19 He says "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the NAME" . *Not names* ..
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a CHILD is born, unto us a SON is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The MIGHTY GOD, The EVERLASTING FATHER, The Prince of Peace.
Jesus says in Revelation 1:8
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the ALMIGHTY.
Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the FIRST, and I am the LAST; AND BESIDE ME THERE IS NO GOD.
Jesus says in Revelation 1:11
1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the FIRST and the LAST:
1 Timothy 3:16
3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Jesus says in Luke 24:47 And that REPENTANCE and REMISSION OF SINS should be preached in HIS NAME AMONG ALL NATIONS, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I SEND THE PROMISE OF MY FATHER UPON YOU: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
As we go into the book of Acts we find almost immediately the promise being fulfilled. And let me clear this scripture up.
Ephesians 4:5 ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism,
6 ONE God and Father of ALL,
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is PREFERRED BEFORE ME: for HE WAS BEFORE ME.
Now back to Acts 1:5
Jesus says in Vs. 5 : For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost NOT MANY DAYS HENCE.
Acts 2:1 1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Read the rest of chapter 2 and how men mocked and said " these men are full of new whine" but Peter stood up with the eleven.
Acts 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
After you read through to vs 37 says the men were pricked in there hearts and asked what shall they do?!
Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Peter tells them what Jesus told him to preach unto ALL nations.
Luke 24:47 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in HIS NAME among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the NAME of JESUS Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
In Luke 24:45-49 Jesus reminded his disciples of what is written of him concerning his suffering, death and ressurection; that repentance and remission of sins would be preached in his name beginning from Jerusalem. They were to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Ghost to come upon them in order to witness the word ( Acts 1:7-8). Before his crucifiction Jesus had told his disciples that it was not them that would speak but the Holy Ghost ( Mark 13:11). They were to preach the the Gospel with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven ( 1 Peter 1:12). On the day of pentecost they heard the infallible Holy Ghost speak through the mouth of Peter ( Acts 2:33). In Acts 10:44 it says to him give all prophets witness that through his name whosover believers shall receive remission of sins. On this day of pentecost, after death burial, ressurection and ascension of Jesus, the Holy Ghost witnessed, beginning from Jerusalem, commanding the people to repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit ( Acts 2:38). God is His own interprater, interpreting the Name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost; for he says in Zechariah 14:9 : And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord and his name one. Thomas called him My Lord and my God ( John 20:28). On this day of Pentecost the Holy Ghost bore witness of His Holy child whom He annointed( Mathew 1:18, Acts 4: 27). Who can add or subtract from what God had began? What He began in the day of pentectost and Jerusalem restores in the Last days: Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ for remission of Sin. The Holy Ghost Church will stay with the command of the Holy Ghost for they know the Apostles were sent the Holy Ghost (13:4) and spake these words at His command.
v.4,13,24: Who were the 2 men in shiny garments?Where did they go? v.17 Is this an act we currently perform? 4 days after crucifixion Lord Jesus returned to Heaven? Signifigance? v.18: w Was Cleopas the first to speak with Jesus after he rose?
V.39. Symbol? I've heard there will be 5 man-made things in heaven. Also, I once read about a spiritual encounter someone once had. He was shocked when a beautiful personage said, "I am Jesus, worship me". Being cautious, he replied, "Show me your hands", upon which the deceiver dissapeared. In our V.39, Jesus showed his nail scarred hands and feet to verify that He was the crucified and resurrected Savior. This, very real (symbol, if you will) will astound his friends some day ( Zech. 12:10-13:6).
And for Jesus, what do he think when he say: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have,
what is a spirit for Jesus ?
an angel or a ghost
This verse should revive us day in and day out...for our lord is risen, and that means that he is coming again, and we will rise with him unto heaven.AMEN!!!
I love the word of God. Luke 24:47-49 and Acts 2:38 & 39 are one and the same, agree even with Mat 28:19 and 20. Jesus (Iesus)is the English translation for(YHWH)God has became our salvation or (YHWH)God salvation & Emmanual(Immanuel) means With us is God(YHWH). What has that to do with anything ? God's word created the heavens and the earth and all things there in (Gen). In John we see: In the beginning was the word and the word was with God(YHWH) and the word was God(YHWH)...and the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father)..Looking at Jesus in the correct light you see God(YHWH)of the old covenant & the new covenant. For God(YHWH) was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. God(YHWH) has no blood, he is a spirit..it takes the shedding of blood for the remission of sin..( Heb 10:5).. When he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:..
So, Yahshua (Jesus) says to his apostles that ALL things in the LAW OF MOSES, the PSALMS and the PROPHETS "MUST" be fulfilled concerning me (Messiah, Anointed One, Word Made Flesh). How can we know who this is, what remains to be fulfilled or how the fulfillment occurs, if we don't know all the words of the law of Moses, the Psalms or the writings of the prophets? One would think that religious leaders in Yashua's (Jesus's) generation would not have made the mistake they did concerning his execution (which they assisted the authorities in accomplishing) had the known these things. But wait a minute here – didn’t the religious leaders have the Palestinian academies that studied these works (the Law of Moses, the Psalms or the writings of the prophets) much like we have today? Maybe they had a different interpretation of these works. Well, one thing’s for sure – we know these mistakes of the past could NEVER be made in our day because WE ARE ALL SURE that we know these writings and the interpretations given by the religious leaders is beyond ANY QUESTIONING WHATSOEVER.

what is a spirit for Jesus ?
an angel or a ghost

thank you to give me perhaps an answer!
