Discuss Matthew 14 Page 2

Hi Raymond, I'm not sure who you're referring to by 'we', but I can assure you I'm not worshipping anyone other than God Exodus 20:3. Jesus is the only way to the Father as it says in John 14:6. Anyone who says otherwise is already described in the Bible, like in Matthew 7:15, Matthew 24:24. God bless.

Why are we worshiping pope gregory saturday when its not in the Bible?

If you're looking for examples of praying before meals, Jesus prayed before feeding 4000 and 5000 people: Matthew 14:19. And before passover meal: Matthew 26:26-27. There's probably more.

Before Christ laid down His life, the Israelites were under the law. That was it. They sacrificed animals for redemption of sin, which was an ongoing sacrifice.

Christ came to fulfill the law, not destroy it. "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.-- Matthew 5:17, 18. As Jesus said, the law will not pass away. We are commanded by Him to keep His commandments (The same 10 Moses brought down from Mount Sinai). "Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them."-- Matthew 14:21

To wit. The Israelites kept the law without option, really. The Christian keeps the law because he loves Christ.

You could also cite the many Scriptures that speak of those who fell down & worshipped Jesus. And this was not people doing obeisance to a 'mighty Prophet of God', but in recognition that this Holy One came from God & to be worshipped as they would God.

A few Scriptures: Matthew 2:10,11 (the magi from the East before the Babe). Matthew 8:2 (by a Leper). Matthew 9:18. Matthew 14:33. John 9:36-38. Acts 10:25,26 (an account where Peter refused the worship of Cornelius).

I always pray to the Father, but I find no reason why I can't pray to the Lord Jesus & glorify & worship Him also.

Chris, Thank you so much but Isaid why not look it up, same thing but, thank you so much!

When someone languishes, it means that he becomes so weak or feeble in strength that if he happens to be bed-ridden he only grows worse because it & the prolonged inactivity. But David proclaims that even in that pitiful condition, the Lord will give him the necessary strength & bring him to full health.

And this David spoke as applying to the person who "considers the poor". So this person is indeed blessed of the Lord, as he places the unfortunate & struggling person before himself. We could even see how the Lord reached out to us, both poor & languishing in spiritual darkness, but a Saviour came by for us, not regarding his Own Life but for those who needed help & salvation from the pit of sin & hell.

psalms 41:3. The meaning of languishing

Hi Arielle, That's a good question, However the sabbath day is a Saturday. So if Jesus was crucified on the day before the " weekly "sabbath, that would put his crucifixion on a Friday with Saturday/the weekly sabbath coming up at 6;01pm. because their days are 6 pm to 6pm as ours is 12am to 12am. so his resurrection would have had to be around Tuesday.

But it is believed to have been 2 sabbath that week, There is also a yearly sabbath comes around every 7 years that may have came around Thursday pryor placing his burial late Wednesday ( before 6pm) and his resurrection Sunday (after 6pm) preceding Saturday. Here's the yearly sabbath. What is an annual Sabbath?

The sabbath year (shmita; Hebrew: , literally "release"), also called the sabbatical year or shvi'it (, literally "seventh"), is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah for the Bet HaMikdash in the Land of Israel and is observed in Judaism.

Note: My calculations may be flawed. I hope that helps. Maybe someone can help us both.

Why do we celebrate the resurrection on a Sunday, when Monday would have been the third day?

Why is the Sabbath day a Sunday , when the seventh day of the week is Saturday?

I am trying to understand why the change in the timeline.

I have nothing to do with the RCC doctrine, in Jesus teachings (KJV) he tells us to believe as little children and so I do believe when I read my bible, I don't understand a lot of it, such as how could Jesus raise someone from the dead, but I know he raised Lazarus, John 11:43, or how could he walk on water as in Matthew 14:25, but I know he did, and many more. Nowhere in the bible does it teach us that we need to understand, but only believe, believe as little children, when you see the trust and faith that a child has in their parent this is what Jesus teaches, only in the cross and his saving grace. the thief that was saved on the cross, he didn't have time to read up on scripture but only believe, and so on. I watch Billy Graham episodes on y tube, on a regular basis, and in one of his sermons he describes the trinity as in water, in water you have, liquid, ice and steam, they are all have the same components, but are different in form. So also as in 1 John 5:7 "the Father, Word and Holy Ghost and these three are one", neither do I understand this, but I know it's true.

Mark 10:15 "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."

Comments by Alex about Faith by the written word and faith by the living word,Faith by the written word just brings on another religion but faith by the living word brings on spritual pregnancy the living word implies his voice present that word that is nigh you even in your mouth your HEART etc. Today if you will hear his voice etc, the new birth does not come via the written word but by the living word , As Peter said being bornagain by an incorruptible seed EVEN BY THE WORD OF GOD THAT LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOREVER, THE living word not the written word . Its the living Word that brings on Real faith, a spritual pregnancy which is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen Even in the natural when a woman is pregnant she has the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen the Child symbolic of th H.G TH PROMISE that is born in us via his seed the living word as my words are SPIRIT AND LIFE TH Child of PROMISE ,But the written word brings on no such fruit unto God as there is no eternal life in the written word as Jesus said search the scriptures in them you think you have eternal life but it is them that testify of me which is the H.G. that he said was gona testify of HIM etc. Remember he said i have a greater witness then John. Which is the H.G. that Child of Promise that is gonna be born in us via his seed the living word. Natural Israel was sola scriptura but they stoned almost every Prophet that God sent them and rejected the Christ . The written word answers to the lesser light but the living WORD answers to the greater light as Jesus said he was the light of the world but the written word is not th light of the world but it is a lesser light that we need at this end time. But Jesus said them that walk in the night a lesser light, bible only no H.G. no fruit unto God will stumble. God made 2 lights the lesser light and greater light but the written word answers to the lesser light an th LIVING WORD th Greater Light a Sun

Comments by Alex on Christ the FATHER , Philip asked Jesus to SHOW them the Father and it will suffice US, then Jesus Replied Philip have i been so long a time with you and you have not seen ME, He that sees me has seen the FATHER, Remember Isaiah refered to Christ as everlasting FATHER simply b/c Christ is like his Father able to reproduce very God in humanity via his seed the word ( the living word ) my words are spirit and life and his words are his seeds Jesus WD not refer to himself as FATHER if he were not the father of SOMEONE which is the H.G. the granson our fruit unto God . When God made that Promise of multiplication of Christ seed it implies Gransons an ISRAEL OF GOD aka as Regeneration of the H.G. thru out the whole world th field is the world where that good seed is gona be sown thus multiplication of Christ seed.When he breathe on them he was sowing seed, Propagating very GOD the Children were spirits the H.G plural now we see he is the FATHER of Gods,To whom his Word came it made them Gods , It was God the FATHER that said that everything has to multiply after its Kind, Jesus was multipling after the GOD KIND, Spirits His CHILDREN are spirits the H.G PLURAL, The H.G IS Gods KIND and thats how we know that he is truly God And also a FATHER NOT HIS OWN FATHER BUT THE FATHER OF THE H.G. the GRANSON, Ya gotta realize that this father son and granson scenario is a family and thats the only way there can ever be an Israel of God which fulfills that great PROMISE OF MULTIPLICATION OF CHRIST SEED.When he breathe on them he was propagating very God as his breath was his WORD HIS SEED ETC. Thats y the Woman is giving birth she is the best example of the new birth via his precious seed th new covenant a birthing covenant I WILL KNOW THEM ALL IMPLING A BIRTH IN HUMANITY A HEAVENLY JACOB AN ISRAEL OF GOD.

That's a good question because without faith it is impossible to please God it says in The book of Hebrews.

Remember Stephen was said to be full of faith , and the Holy Spirit and performed many miracles .

Christ dwells in our heart by faith as well , so the strength of our faith effects how well we experience his presence .

Remember Jesus said to his disciples they where of little faith for not trusting God for all their needs ?

Jesus said trial of your faith is more precious than fine gold .

So faith can be little to full and if healthy it should be growing .

Faith comes from hearing and understanding the word of God in the heart . Practice is experience that makes it stronger .

Little faith is much better than no faith , it just needs to be used and nurtured , tested , it will get stronger . So take heart. Few are ever full in faith , I have never met anyone that was full of faith like Apostle Peter for example.

Little faith certainly is something to work with and can grow.

The phrase "little faith" is meaning trusting too little or lacking confidence in Christ.

The mustard seed is little in stature, but the germ of faith within is enough to accomplish great things.

Great faith is firmly rooted in Jesus Christ.

what is the difference between little faith and mustard seed faith.

We are to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.

1 Thessalonians 5:17

Pray without ceasing.

1 Thessalonians 5:25

Brethren, pray for us.

(Pray for our ministers that are teaching Gods Word, every day.)

Matthew 14:23

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart TO PRAY: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

Matthew 24:20

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

Mark 13:33

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Luke 6:28

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

Luke 18:1

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

>The reason it says pray that your flight be not on the sabbath, is because the Jews can't go over a certain distance. They wouldn't be able to flee to the mountains as another scripture tells us.

>If we are not living a prayerful lifestyle..we are just fooling ourselves on how spiritual we think ourselves to be. That is Not an accusation.

If you think that was unkind of me to say that, then go listen to some Charles Stanley sermons on a life of prayer, on YouTube. He teaches on tv every Sunday too.

Mishael

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

And when THEY were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Jesus commands weather. Book of Job. You can pray for favor in disasters of weather. Grow your faith.

?. when peter walk on the water jesus save him did peter continue to walk on the water with jesus to the boat.

Hi May. I just ran across your quite of Thessalonians. May I ask that if the Lord had the voice of an archangel, was and is the Lord AN archangel? Thank you for your attention.

Do you think any unsaved people check with God when they're getting married?

They don't! Our culture doesn't require it. They caution about waivers to the spouses property & cash in case of a divorce.

Did Jesus go all technical and legalistic with the woman at the well? What is the HEART of the Law?

In addition to pain, suffering, loss of material things, financial things, children, loss of home, etc.

Add to this a ton of guilt to carry the rest of your limited human life; because you didn't know Gods laws? ...amazing grace.

The Rapture

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

14-21 above, also in 2020, those who sought JESUS was shown the POWER OF GOD through JESUS. Above, JESUS being a GOOD SHEPARD knew /knows the need of them seeking JESUS. JESUS recognize the seeker's need and miraculously make the impossible to be possible for those who reached out and sought JESUS. JESUS being a GOOD SHEPARD both healed and fed them and us in 2020. Like the above John 3:16-21 guides those who seek JESUS, guiding us to the same POWER above. This same POWER has been made available to us in 2020, especially those who seek SALVATION through JESUS and not forgetting healing and feeding. John 3:16-21 guides all seekers to the power of SALVATION thereby we avoid the lake of fire.

i agreed with the example that was giving concerning the physical heart, if the doctor let the physical heart goes lacking without taking care of it, death with come about. If we don't taking care of the spiritual heart death will also come about. So it very important that we nurture the physical heart as well the spiritual heart.

Janet, I hope my earlier response to you gave you the answer you needed. If not, please ask again. Thank you.

meaning of demon spirit boy and why the disciples couldn't heal the boy

Janet, are you referring to Mark 9:17-27? If so, then the account is of Jesus coming over to a company of people & some Jewish religious leaders (Scribes) were questioning Jesus' disciples. Apparently, a man had a son with a 'dumb spirit'. This may not mean as we read it, but quite likely there was an evil spirit inhabiting this boy that produced lunacy or even epilepsy in the child & could also have rendered the boy speaking gibberish. And this was a particularly violent spirit, as from the account. So, Jesus' disciples ask Him, why could they not cast out this demon (as maybe they had done on other occasions)? This type of spirit required much reliance on God for removal (= prayer & fasting), Jesus said. We don't know how an evil spirit came to indwell this lad, but when we see so much of satanic worship & delving into the spirit world today, that so many do ignorantly, we can expect more of this demonic possession & oppression.

how to explain the boy with demon spirit

What was the Miracle Of Astounding Proportions? - Matthew 14:15-21; Mark 6:35-44: Like 9:12-17; John 6:5-14. Jesus words in ( Matthew 14:16) carried a higher spiritual cogitation; He is the 'Bread of Life', therefore, the Body of Christ is to be fed regarding the Word of God. God has an order and method by which His heavenly Blessings are divinely distributed. Reading from verse 19 of Matthew 14: (He took, He blessed, He did break, and He gave to the Disciples - that is His order with Believers as well). One of the divine Principles of Breaking Limits is ALWAYS to give 'Thanks' (cf. John 6:11). It is from God whence all blessings come. We must ever seek His Face for leading an.

I'm not sure if that is your belief or just echoing the previous commenter, but we're not robots. We absolutely have freewill to choose to follow Jesus or not and our actions determine where we go after this life. So, if someone is looking for an excuse to party and run with the world and uses this verse as support that sounds like an example of a falsehood the devil wants people to believe. JOHN 14:15.
