Discuss Matthew 12 Page 4

Casting out demons,

Jesus gave instruction, I'm not aware of scripture in the Psalms specified for that. But David who is accredited as author of many of the Psalms written in the Bible, was able to have an evil spirit leave Saul, by playing music. 1Samuel 16, however this seems different, because note: 1Samuel 16:14, 1Samuel 15, note 1Samuel 15:23,

Please read & study these:

Mark 1:34,39, Mark 3:14-15, Matthew 12:28, Luke 11:20, Mark 16:9, Matthew 8:16, Luke 4:14, Luke 8:2, Matthew 28:18-20,

Jude 1:2-10, note: Jude 1:9, Acts 19:13-17, Matthew 12:39-45, Luke 11:14-26,

Mark 6:7-13, Luke 9:49-50,

Matthew 10:8, Mark 16:17,

Matthew 17:14-21, Mark 9:17-29,

James 1:2-7, Luke 11:1-13,

Hopefully these are all helpful

Ruth, you picked up a spirit of fear. He has friends named torments. Copy paste the scriptures in your Notes App on your phone or PC. Pray them out loud as often as you need to.

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment (an evil spirit) He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, love and of a sound mind.

1 Samuel 12:24

Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he has done for you.

Proverbs 19:23

The fear of the LORD leads to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.**

Romans 8:15 - For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Hebrews 13:6 - So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

You as a Christian have the authority in Jesus Name to make these things leave you forever. So say this as often as needed:

In the Name of Jesus of Nazareth, I bind up the spirits of fear and torments and loose their bands of oppression in my life. I bind your evil works in my life. In Jesus Name and the Power of His Authority, I command you to go into outer darkness and dry places. GO NOW in Jesus Name.

I release healing, joy in my salvation, and soundness and peace over my mind__in the Name of Jesus I receive it in my born again spirit.

I am free! Hallelujah to my Lord and Savior.

A teaching by Jesus. Matthew 12: 43-44

We are to keep our house garnished with the Bible. They can't ever come back__as we are faithful to read New Testament and fill our soul and spirit with Gods Word. Our reading and prayer time takes precedence over less worthy activities.

May God bless you and carry you to happier times in your life and fellowship on here if you have time.

Love to you,

Hi Lynne,

There have been many discussions about this. People differ in opinion. James 1:5, I ask you pray for wisdom & discernment of truth.

Why do you ask, this question like this?

1st we have Luke 16,

Then we have Paradise mentioned 3 times, in: Luke 23:39-46, 2Corinthians 12:2-4, Revelation 2:7,

Out of the Grave: Ezekiel 37:12,13, Matthew 27:52,53, John 5:28,

Judgement : Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 7, Romans 14:12, 1Peter 4:1-5, Matthew 12:36,

Jesus being the 1st born: Romans 8:29-39,

Hopefully these are helpful

Fear and Accusations are evil spirits assigned to you by satan; to slow down your walk with Jesus. In Ephesians 6, shows us that the spirits are invisible.

We know they're stalking us, by their FRUITS. Fear, hath torments (which are evil spirits). Knowledge of the Word of God sets us free. You must be born again as in John 3. If you are born again, you have LEGAL RIGHTS as a child of God.

I'm saying this for the benefit of others who have, or are going through it. Jesus cleans and clears out our physical and spiritual house. The Holy Spirit is inside of us. He teaches the Bible to us; as we read the Bible. We are GARNISHING our spiritual house. If we fail to read the Bible, the armor of God, is UNUSED. Ephesians 6.

MATTHEW 12:43-45 and Matthew 13:3-12

We cannot be invaded again, IF we garnish our spiritual house with scripture.

Matthew 4:

1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the DEVIL,

2 And when JESUS had fasted 40 days & 40nights, he was afterward hungry.

3 And when the TEMPTER came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

We must form a strong resolve to follow Jesus as a disciple. We are fighting off INVISIBLE enemies. Ephesians 6.

I've been praying over this some days. SATAN was an archangel.He was CREATED as like an angel; just bigger and more powerful; in charge of praise and worship of God. He coveted the praise all of the angels gave to God.

Coveting is a sin. He led a rebellion against God. Satan and 1/3 of the angels who followed Satans rebellion, were hurled into the earth.

Most or questions about sin, can be answered by the Ten Commandments, Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

Do the do's, and refuse the dont's. Receive Jesus as Savior, Be baptized. Attend Church. Ask Holy Spirit to teach you.

GARNISH your "house"

See Acts 19:19, you may need to rid your home of "idols".

[I cannot find who I wrote this for, so I'm going to post here and hope he sees it.]

I'm saying this for the benefit of others who have, or are going through it. Jesus cleans and clears out our physical and spiritual house. The Holy Spirit is inside of us. He teaches the Bible to us; as we read the Bible. We are GARNISHING our spiritual house. If we fail to read the Bible, the armor of God, is unused. Ephesians 6.

MATTHEW 12:43-45

Also the parable in Matthew 13:3-12

We cannot be invaded again, if we garnish our spiritual house with scripture. Satan tempted Jesus in

Matthew 4:

1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the DEVIL,

2 And when JESUS had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

3 And when the TEMPTER came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

Streetpreacher: We must form a strong resolve to follow Jesus as a disciple (which is a student sort of). We are fighting off invisible enemies. Ephesians 6.

I've been praying over this some days. SATAN was an archangel. He was CREATED as like an angel; just bigger and more powerful; in charge of praise and worship of God. He coveted the praise all of the angels gave to God.

Coveting is a sin. He led a rebellion against God. Satan and 1/3 of the angels who followed Satans rebellion, were hurled into the earth.

His new mission was to hurt all of the people on earth__especially the ones that loved God, and followed Gods known Will for them. Later they were given the Ten Commandments written with the finger of God, to Moses.

Most or questions about sin, can be answered by the Ten Commandments., Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. It's easily understood how God expects His believers to follow Him, and not our sinful desires. Twisting truth to accommodate having what we want.

Do the do's, and refuse the dont's. Life gets easier.

Receive Jesus as Your Savior.

This can be very encouraging to people and these are great verses.

It is worth considering that sometimes people try to simplify things by cutting out key verses about salvation, but its in the Bible for a reason and shouldn't be ignored. For example, the Bible over and over talks about obedience. If someone discards all these verses and assumes it will happen magically through the spirit and not their own freewill then they can be misled into following evil. Maybe they assume their sins don't count or matter or that God doesn't even care or they no longer have the freewill to sin, but the Bible doesn't say any of those things.

Maybe they their friends are going out drinking and doing "just a little" drugs, and going to a strip club "just a for a few minutes" and rob a store "sharing was done in Jesus's time" and commit a murder "just one who 'deserved' it". Then they go to church on Sunday and they are reminded of the above verses and not to worry about it as they are forgiven, so they do it again and again every weekend. Lying, cheating, stealing, assaulting, harming, idolatry, worshipping the world and satan.

This may throw a wet blanket on the simplicity of all the warm fuzzy verses cherry picked from the Bible, but life isn't simple and temptation of sin isn't simple. Sometimes someone SHOULD feel guilt and convicted by the holy spirit of evil that person has done. Some are deceived into believing they are "saved" when they are following satan and not Jesus. If they aren't following Jesus they may not be Christian and may not have assurance of salvation, but assume they are because someone told them not to worry about it.

There are many important Bible verses that people should heed about salvation and not simply throw them out:

Matthew 7:21-23

Matthew 12:32

Hebrews 10:26

John 14:15

James 2:14-26

1 Peter 1:5

1 Cor 9:24-27

1 Peter 1:13

Thank you

Roy

Matthew 7:21-23

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Matthew 12:32 "...but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

1 Peter 1:5 - "...salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

James 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

When the title specifically speaks of CHRIST it will always have the article "the" in the phrase. When used of human being as in Ezekiel it never has the article (Ez. 2:1, Ps. 8:4)

1Peter 2:19,21,

Good conscience, Christ suffered giving us example, trusting GOD not man.

Please refer back to why Jesus suffered = Matthew 12:14, John 7:1, Matthew 12:1-13, because he healed on the Sabbath?

John 7:7 "The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil" John 8:44, Matthew 22:29,

Jesus corrected & rebuked the leaders in the religious sects & ignored their contradictory "mandates" even washing of hands.

HE disobeyed those in Governmental authority, because they were corrupt. Matthew 27:12,13,14, John 19:11, obeying GOD ALMIGHTY.

If you're referring to Our GOD Blessed Country USA. This website is global. The USA did not get the religious freedom it has by obedience to oppressive Gov. Please read the US Declaration of Independence & refer back to another scripture, 1Peter 2:14, Our "public servants" have not punished evildoers, but have actually committed Treasonous acts, putting Citizens in danger. We have a Duty given by our GOD to uphold law, order, safety of our people & protecting our freedoms. As Established within that document. Proverbs 31:9,

If you haven't noticed the chaos in the world after the falsified Election of 2020, please look & understand we affect the World for good, when we are strong, stable & blessing & helping other nations.

Let's not forget all of the Old Testament either.

How would Jesus handle these things today? Remember John 2:15 "And when He had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money and overthrew the tables." & Luke 19,

Cali, Gov. Fobid singing in Church Fellowship, GOD says sing, Psalms 98:4, Psalms 33:3,

GOD says Exodus 23:7, Deuteronomy 19:10,13, Deuteronomy 21:9 "So shall thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when you shall do which is right in the sight of the LORD"

Roy i don't wanna sound repititious about this Son of MAN...But we see the Woman in Rev. 12 as a beautiful picture of the world giving birth to a baby Christ which is the H.G. The Children of Promise...The Son of Mankind ..The woman is the world simply b/c Jesus said the field is the world where that good seed will be sown...The woman is mankind and her child is the result of the Sower and his seed the contents of the book that has just been opened....The words of life...The Woman is telling us that the world is gona have a baby Christ which is the H.G. that is an Israel of God...Which is the multiplication of God in us humanity the Children of PROMISE is The H.G. Spirits as God is Spirit...The Woman is us sinners THE WORLD that needs a physician....Thus a baby Christ the H.G.

Then he said them that hear my words ( his good seeds ) and keeps them intiating a birth of Christ in us humanity....Them that hear the words the contents of that book and keeps them. He wants everybody to be his mother thus he will be everybodies SON,THE SON OF MAN...MANKIND's fruit unto God....In Adam we all die but in Christ we will all live....Simply b/c of what he did at Calvary..The Blood

Roy every time Jesus called himself the Son of man he was trying to tell them they were gonna have a baby Christ which is the H.G. That Child of a Promise...The multiplication of very God in humanity....She brought forth a man child that is gonna rule ALL NATIONS...27 TIMES in the O.T. the prophets saw the world in travail and birth pains...The Child is the H.G. That Child of Promise...An Israel of God...The 3 rd person the H.G is the Israel of God...a heavenly Jacob...mankinds fruit unto God the Son of man.

.....Thats y the sower will go forth to sow his seed in our hearts that we might birth a baby Christ which is the H.G....Multiplication of his seed was the great Promise....And thats y he always refered to himself as the SON OF MAN.

.....The Wheat is a baby Christ simply b/c the sower of that good seed is the bridegroom....Thus he is truly the SON OF MAN...Simply b/c he said whosoever receiveth one such child in my name receives me...see the son of man is not really Jesus but the H.G. his offspring.....our fruit unto God.

Every time Jesus refered to himself as the Son of man he was trying to tell us something in the Spirit....88 times Jesus refered to himself as the son of man which is indicative of that New COVENANT...When All MEN will birth a Baby Christ which is the result of the Sower and his seed. The contents of the book Thus the wheat he sires in our hearts is a baby Christ which is the H.G. that..CHILD OF PROMISE A KINGDOM CHILD....Jeremiah saw all men in travail and birth pains...The Child is the H.G. that Child of Promise...

.....That great Promise was multiplication of Christ seed thus every man will bring forth fruit unto God according to his seed the WORD the contents of the book the New Covenant....Thats y the new birth is so important we are all gonna birth a BABY CHRIST....the H.G. Thus he is truly the son of man....Which answers to our new heart and new spirit.

.....Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil CHILD you will in no wise enter there in....The Child is a baby Christ the H.G And thats what makes him the Son of man....mankinds fruit unto God via that good seed.

.....Kings shall be your nursing fathers and Queens shall be your nursing mothers....Kings and Queens are just simbolic language for men and women that are gonna birth a baby Christ...That New Covenant which is the H.G. That Child of PROMISE...Thus he is truly the SON OF MAN...ok

Hi Roy. Briefly, the Son of Man is a title used exclusively by Jesus - His disciples never addressed Him as such.

Jesus used it to emphasize His humanity ( Matthew 8:20; Mark 8:31), though there were occasions where He used the title, Son of God ( John 3:18; John 5:25; John 9:35-37; John 10:36; etc).

The title, Son of Man, also goes back to the Book of Daniel where the Son of Man would inherit the everlasting kingdom of God ( Daniel 7:13,14). It is a designation of the Messiah Who would inherit God's everlasting Kingdom.

At His trial Jesus acknowledged that He was indeed the Son of Man - the one who would bring in God's everlasting kingdom ( Matthew 26:64,65). When the religious leaders heard this they accused Him of blasphemy - making Himself equal with God.

The purpose of the title seems to be Jesus' Own emphasis on His Humanity. And through His Humanity, doing the Works of God as none other had done before & bringing the Words of God as they never heard before, the people would also see that this was no ordinary man (as was believed, the son of Joseph & Mary), but One of God, sent by God. Jesus' Life even till His Death proved to at least some folk that this Son of Man was indeed the Son of God: they needed to come to realize this fact by observation, not by His proclamation.

Jesus is all God and all Human. He set aside his powers as the Son of God, to be born to Mary. In her Jesus was fully Human. He did not have Joseph's blood.

He was called Immanuel: God with us.

Jesus called himself, after he was anointed in Luke 4:18. Jesus said of himself, he was the Son of Man (human) .

Use the Search Box on the red LINK PAGE. Put in SON OF MAN, and read those verses too.

Matthew 12:22-37

You prayed the prayer, but you didn't walk the walk. The good seed was tossed on unplowed ground (your heart). The devils birds came and ate the seed. You're starving to bones, for a serious walk with Jesus. He has been waiting on you, all of these years, To Seek Him; with all of your strength.

I have a friend like you, in Ohio. I have tried every way possible to get him to crack open his grandmothers Bible. Nothin doing. I've preached every way I can to get him to believe something. 18 years. His story is your story too. Finally he has one grown son to do things with.

When this website opens up to the red-brown page, and look for the BECOME A BELIEVER link. You need to go in there until you've read all the way through, and prayed the prayer to Re-Dedicate your life to Jesus. Confess your deeds to Jesus. He will hear you. He knows what we've done, but confession and tears will cleanse you, like living water. Open up the dam and let it all out. I'll be here every day to encourage you.

You are about to embark on the most exciting years of your life. This time, turn off the noise of TV, and read your Bible. People have gates: the eye gate, the ear gate, and the mouth gate. If you'll read aloud in soft tones; you'll feel the balm of Gods Word, mend the tears in your starving soul.

I'm 70. We're all gonna die someday. You can have life with meaning and joy now. Jesus told all of His Disciples, and Paul: FOLLOW ME. That's what you need now. You fed the bitterness and jealousy. Two emotions that hurt us inside. We eat regular Bible every day. Driving in your car, tune the radio to a Bible teaching station.

I WILL BE BACK TOMORROW and write more. I will pray for you to be faithful and true, just like Jesus. I am so sorry I haven't been in this room for some time. I'm here now and I will be back. Use the reply button to contact me, anytime. I care.

Astrologers who cast charts have a death sentence for doing charts, too.

Acts 19:19. Those books must be burned.

It's vital to replace what you once did, with the Bible.

Study Matthew 12:22-37. Your body is a house. If you neglect to adorn and garnish it with scripture, evil spirits will return and trouble you.

I say this from experience. I was an astrologer, 36 years ago.

Mathew 12 verse 8 - For Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

Reference specifically the words "Son of man" with capital "S" in word Son. Will some please try to clarify the reference to "Son of man".

Thank you

Roy

My understanding is that all sins are not the same. An example would be where Jesus makes a distinction between blasphemy against the Holy Ghost and other sins.

Matthew 12:31

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

But one sin no matter how great or how small, leaves us guilty of breaking God's holy law and therefore all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So we are all reliant on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins.

Brother S Spencer:

In you post to GiGi you said:

Sometime we lose sight that the Gospel was preached to Abraham 430 years before this point: being the giving of the law.

Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the Gospel preached, as well as UNTO THEM .....

Those that fell in the wilderness.

John the Baptist came preaching the gospel.

After John was put in prison, Jesus came preaching the gospel.

Paul says my gospel.

What is this GOSPEL.

It CANNOT BE heaven and hell, else you would see the PROPHETS screaming this at the top of their lungs.

Amos 3:2 Surely the Lord God WILL DO NOTHING, but he REVEALETH HIS SECRETS unto his servants the PROPHETS.

The Book of Job is a PROPHESY.

Job 1:6 Now there was a day (future) when the Sons of God (the Called and Chosen) came to present themselves before the Lord (as a living sacrifice) and Satan (a deceitful and WICKED HEART living inside the called and chosen) came in WITH THEM.

2 Thessalonians 2:8 Then shall that WICKED be revealed ...

2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him (the called and chosen), whose coming is after the working of Satan (a heart of stone, lies, deception, falsehoods and wickedness) ....

Ezekiel 11:9 And I will GIVE THEM (GRACE) ONE heart, and I will put a new spirit in you, and take the STONEY HEART (after the workings of Satan) out of their flesh, and GIVE THEM (GRACE) a heart of flesh (after the workings of Christ, LIFE and TRUTH).

2 Thessalonians 2:8 Then shall that WICKED (SATANIC HEART) be revealed, whom the Lord shall CONSUME (for our God is a consuming fire) with the spirit of his mouth (his words of TRUTH), and shall DESTROY (that Satanic heart) with the brightness OF HIS COMING.

Matthew 12:28 But if I CAST OUT DEVILS (a STONY HEART) by the SPIRIT of God then the Kingdom of God is come unto YOU (Christ's Heart, Life and truth, REPLACING Satin's heart, lies, wickedness, a heart of antichrist).

All this is GOD'S WORK, man is just HEIR of these work's.

God Bless YOU!

Part 2

Remember when Peter asked Jesus how many times does he have to forgive a brother who sins to him? Jesus told him 70X7 times a day. If God demands this from us, then Him Himself how many times does He forgives us? The answer is infinite times.

Finally, complaints to God are NOT blasphemy against the Holly Spirit. It is good to understand that we must avoid complaining and questioning God's decisions about us, but still He is willing to forgive us. All of us do complain sometime. My friend do not see God as a procecutor all the time, He is not, He is a helprer. If God put us under a microscope and see all our least faults then who could be saved? Nobody. Thanks God He is not like this. He is there to get us to the end. GOD IS LOVE.

Blasphemy against the HS is when one attributes works done by the Spirit to satan like Pharisees did, intentionally. Please read carefully Matthew 12:25-36. Nothing else. One that does that never repends. When one repends and worries so much it is a clear sign that he never did that.

In our lives we all do many mistakes like you did. But God is there to raise us up and start a new begining. So get up.

God Bless You.

Hello sir or madam, I am happy to dialog with you if you share your name so I know who I'm communicating with and if you are respectful. Just saying someone is "incorrect" without any scriptures to back it up isn't getting off on the right foot, however.

I believe all will be judged on a particular day because the Bible says the phrase "day of judgment", "the day when", the "last day". It doesn't say there's multiple days of judgment or a week or month or years of judgment, or that judgment is only whenever you die. Here's some examples:

1 John 4:17 "day of judgment"

Matthew 12:36 "day of judgment"

2 Peter 2:9 "day of judgment"

Matthew 11:22 "day of judgment"

2 Corinthians 5:10 "we must all"

Romans 2:16 - "the day when"

John 12:48 "last day"

Revelation 20:12-15 is a vision, but that verse also indicates multitudes judged at once does it not? So, the scriptural support is strong. Do you feel you have just as much scriptural support against this? Do you know of any verses that say the the opposite?

Aside from being a particular day, you questioned that all will be judged, and suggested 2 different judgments.

We also know this judgment is for everyone, because in verse 15 it says those not found in the book of life were cast into the fire. So, this event sorted people. It doesn't say that in this judgment ALL went to hell or ALL went to heaven. A judgment is a judgment of each individual "according to their works" and determines where they go according to verse 15.

"If that's what you are saying, then that is incorrect."

If your belief is based on scripture then please share it. If your belief is not based on scripture then you have greater concerns.

"Otherwise, how are we to know if what you believe is the correct truth?"

Since you didn't provide any scriptural support someone is more likely to ask you this.

God bless.

THE BIBLE IS ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD: NOT FLESH AND BLOOD

The WOMAN in the Bible is always about the kingdom of God, not a woman of flesh.

Every person is A WOMAN, whether you be male or female.

Every person is THE CHURCH, whether you be male of female.

The Bible is a PARABLE

1 Timothy 2:11 Let the WOMAN (Christ's bride) learn in silence with all subjection (to the man: her HUSBAND, Christ).

1 Timothy 2:12 But I (the husband, these are Christ's words, not Paul's) suffer not THE WOMAN (my wife) to teach (in my Church, my body) but to be in silence ( 1 John 2:27).

1 Timothy 2:13 For Adam (Christ, the husband) was first formed, then Eve (THE WOMAN, THE CHURCH).

1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam (Christ, the husband) was NOT DECEIVED, but THE WOMAN (the church, the bride) BEING DECEIVED (present tense) was in the transgression.

1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding, SHE (the WOMAN, the WIFE, whether you be male of female) shall BE SAVED IN CHILDBEARING (having the SEED of the Holy Ghost come upon you, as it did MARY, the mother of Christ, resulting in THE WOMAN (male or female) giving BIRTH AGAIN of the "SEED" of the Holy Ghost.

Christ, the FIRST BORN, of the SEED of the HOLY GHOST.

Matthew 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples (YOU are a disciple) and SAID, Behold MY MOTHER, and MY BRETHREN.

You are BOTH the mother (the WOMAN) and the BROTHER of the NEW CREATION IN, and BY THE HOLY GHOST.

God Bless YOU!

Yes,

Matthew 4:24, Matthew 8:8-13, Matthew 8:16, Matthew 12:15, Matthew 12:22, Matthew 15:20, Matthew 19:2, Matthew 21:14, Mark 3:10, Luke 4:40, Luke 5:15, Luke 6:18, Luke 6:19, Psalms 147:3,

John 16:23, Luke 11,

Hopefully these help, comfort, direct & encourage you as you seek GOD & HIS healing

Yes you're my brother now, if you're a believer! Matthew 12:50, Mark 3:35, 2Thessalonians 3:13, 1Thessalonians 5:26, Philippians 4:21, 1Timothy 5:1, Matthew 23:8, Galatians 4:31, 1Peter 3:8, Ephesians 1:5,

Hopefully helpful

Robert,

Matthew 12:40 says " For as Jonas was three days and three nights In the whale's belly so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth"

That comes to a full 72 hours not 36. Not sure I your math was off accidentally or purposefully.

For all this business of a person having to know that Christ did do this and all the suffering that he went through is a bit heavy. Yes a person needs to know that Jesus bore his/her sins on the cross, died and was buried, then on the third day he rose conquering death and hell. But the simple fact is that it isn't required to know this.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life"

Jesus hasn't been to the cross and here he is telling Nicodemus how to be saved...without the knowledge of what Jesus will go through.

Take Phillip and the eunuch in Acts 8:26-40. Yes the eunuch was reading in Isaiah 53:7 concerning the prophecy of Christ having to endure the suffering and death of the cross but when the eunuch saw water he asked. "See here is water. what doth hinder me to be baptized? and Phillip said, if thou believest with all think heart thou mayest. And he answered and said I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts 8:36-37

Acts 16:23-34 tells of the time Paul and Silas we're in Philippi, arrested and beaten with whips and thrown into prison with the jailer given orders to keep them safely. We learn that en earthquake cames and broke the foundation of the prison, with the doors opened and their bands loosed. The jailer came out and thinking his prisoners escaped was about to kill himself. Paul cries out for him to not do so.

Bringing us to verse 30, "And brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

And they said, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and they house."

That's just 2 passages showing the simplicity of salvation.

Kristina,

We see this in Ephesians 4:9-10. In verse 9, it says, "Now that he ascended, (speaking of Christ), what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?"

It goes on to say in Verse 10, "He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill, (or more literally fulfill) all things.

Jesus said that when He was to die that He was to go into the heart of the earth, just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, or the fish. ( Matthew 12:40)

The same Jesus was ascended up into heaven, and He loosened the captives. But it says He gave gifts unto men. Notice what it says at the end of Ephesians 4:8 because this is very important.

The word "gifts" indicates that God took from out of the captives. He took people and gave them back to the captives as gifts. These gifts are people.

So He led captivity captive. He took people from out of the captives. He said you, you, you, and you, come here. And He gave them back to the captives as leaders and ministers.

John 8:23-59,

Matthew 5:48, Matthew 6, Matthew 7, Matthew 12:50,

Jesus went even further to say: Matthew 23:9,

Hopefully these are helpful

2 Corinthians 5:10 - "For we must ALL appear..."

ALL. All means all.

1 Peter 1:5 - "...salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

In the LAST TIME. It doesn't salvation is given on Earth.

1 Cor 9:24-27 "run the race", not the 'race was already won.'

1 Peter 1:13 "...hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"

HOPE to the END. It doesn't say NOW. Grace that IS TO BE brought. It doesn't say NOW.

Joshua 24:15 "choose you this day whom ye will serve"

CHOOSE. It's a daily decision. Freewill is not stripped away.

Matthew 7:21-23

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Not all believers are saved and not all who claim to be followers.

Matthew 12:32 "...but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN. I read this and know what it says.

James 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

Believing alone isn't enough according to this verse.

Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

This is a warning, it is clear, and I understand it. I don't want to test God.

James 2:14-26 "...faith, if it hath not works, is dead..."

John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Jude 1:21 "KEEP YOURSELVES IN THE LOVE OF GOD, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."

These verses are the Words of God.

I read, pray for understanding, and know in my heart what these verses say and mean. If another believer says "No, that's not the truth, believe ME instead" then that is a huge red flag of something that doesn't come from God. God bless.

Marke:

Matthew 13:31 The kingdom of heaven IS LIKE (not actual) a grain of mustard SEED ...

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The SEED is the WORD OF GOD (CHRIST).

..... which a man took (the man Jesus Christ), and sowed in his field.

Matthew 13:38 The field is the world.

Matthew 13:32 Which (the SEED) indeed is the least of all SEEDS: but when it (the SEED) is grown, it (the SEED) is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a TREE (of LIFE)....

The kingdom of God is THIS TREE (of LIFE).

..... so that the birds (fowls) of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

John 15:5 Ye are the branches ....

Luke 13:9 ....and the fowls of the air (the devil) lodged in the branches of it (the tree).

Luke 8:5 and some fell by the way side.... and the fowls of the air devoured it (the SEED)......

Luke 8:12 Those by the way side, are those that hear, then cometh the DEVIL (fowls of the air), and taketh away THE WORD (the SEED)....

Psalms 104:12 By them (the springs of water, living water) shall the fowls of heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

Ezekiel 17:23 In the mountain the height of Israel will I plant it (the SEED), and it (the SEED) shall bring forth boughs (branches), and bear fruit (SEED), and be a goodly cedar (tree), and UNDER IT (the tree) shall dwell every fowl of ever wing, in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.

The devil WILL BE SHAKEN out of the branches of the kingdom of God (the TREE OF LIFE).

Matthew 12:28 If I CAST OUT devils by the Spirit of God (LIFE and TRUTH) then the kingdom of GOD is come unto you.

God Bless You!
