W H G for verse 18

Peter(Petros)- a small pebble

Jesus - The chief cornerstone, the foundation of our faith(rock of our salvation)

"On this rock(himself) I will build my church" One of Jesus Christ's sayings

Peter not the first Pope, but alive in Christ his savior (Yahweh, our savior)

Without the blood of Jesus being shed for our sins and His resurrection Christianity in its true form cannot exist.

If Jesus was only a sinful man like us - remember the wages of sin is death, but God's gift to us is eternal life through His Son!

Yes I now that wages of seen is death if Jesus had not died there will be nothing like Christian.

God bless you.

Now have you seen it.

The seventy disciples did not know their worth until they came back to report saying even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. ( Luke 10:17).

Mark Matthews, Day Christ Died.

Right on! Just as Johah said; "Three days AND three nights" Jonah 1:17.

Jesus died on what we call Wednesday just before sundown.

Wednesday sundown to Thursday sundown = 1 day (first night and day in the tomb)

Thursday sundown to Friday sundown = 1 day (second night and day in the tomb)

Friday sundown to Saturday sundown = 1 day (third night and day in the tomb)

Mary came to the sepulchre at daybreak Sunday.

Look at Matthew 12:40.

Jesus rose at some time between Saturday sundown and Sunday morning.

The "high day" of John 19:31 was the first day of the feast (Passover), and is considered a high holy Sabbath day.

The first day of the Feast was a Thursday (15th day of Nisan- April 3/4). The 15th day of Nisan commenced at sunset on what we would still call the 14th.

Jesus was crucified on the 14th, the "preparation day" ( John 19:31), and by law the crucified bodies should not remain on the cross on a Sabbath day. Jesus was put in the tomb before sunset on Wednesday the 14th.

The "first day of the week" ( Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1-), the day of the Resurrection, was from our Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset.

Jesus was to be the Lamb slain, and His crucifixion took place on the "preparation day" ( John 19:14) when all lambs were slaughtered for the great Passover Feast the NEXT day.

The Last Supper DID NOT take place on the day of Passover, look at Matthew 27:62, Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:14, John 19:31-42.

The "third day" of Matthew 16:21 is not the third day of the great Feast, but the third day of our Lord and Savior being in the tomb.

Herman Dcouto,

Wednesday sundown to Thursday sundown = 1 day (first night and day in the tomb)

Thursday sundown to Friday sundown = 1 day (second night and day in the tomb)

Friday sundown to Saturday sundown = 1 day (third night and day in the tomb)

Mary came to the sepulchre at daybreak Sunday.

The "third day" of Matthew 16:21 is not the third day of the great Feast, but the third day of our Lord and Savior being in the tomb.

The Hebrew calendar used at the time of Jesus counted a full day from sunset to sunset, not midnight to midnight.

The Hebrew 24 hour period of time is broken up into two 12 hour segments. The first segment is from 6 pm until 6 am. The second segment is from 6 am until 6 pm.

The "third hour" of the day in Mark 15:25 when Christ was crucified is 9 am

The "ninth hour" when He gave up the ghost is 3 pm.

Matthew 16:3

And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Daniel 7:25

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:

Luke 21:25

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Sorry for doing this twice. This site wiped out half of it. Have no idea where it went. It was a reply to the question about weathermen.

Weather prediction is not witchcraft. People have been forcasting since Jesus time on earth and he didn't say anything about that.

He did ask them why they are not able to recognize the signs of the times? Why were they seemingly uninformed about prophesies that were being fulfilled. Much like we are today. Life happens so fast that we barely have time for anything.

In the Daniel scripture it mentions daylight savings time. Most people don't like it; but it's good for sports games, etc. However animals & plants live by daylight hours.

Recently in the news it was said ALL the worlds calendars should be changed to ONE.

That last scripture covers forcasting on weather events: like hurricanes, tremors, dust storms, wet seasons, dry seasons, solar storms:

Also Space related events. There's a scripture on a star (asteroid?) Wormwood. There's been a warning by NASA of one traveling towards earth now. All this can be googled.

Our President has formed a new committee to address that issue. A protective Space Program. I hope it gets voted on in the House. Praise God.

Let's be more attentive to ALL the signs of the times. Amen.

Believe it or not, the farmers and fisherman were weather forcasting in Bible times. Shepherds forecast when sheep were going to give birth.

Matthew 16:3

And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Daniel 7:25

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:

The keys of the kingdom are, i believe the gospel that is preached. Our acceptance, an faith in the word (looses)us from the bondage Satan as had us in, an if we reject the gospel preached to us

then we remain (bound), an in bondage. Jesus came to set the captives free, but the choice remains yours if you want to to be loosed . Peter preached in the day of Pentecost an 3000 were loosed from bondage that day. Every Sunday the gospel is preached and there are those who believe and are loosed an others will walk out still in the bondage they came in with because they refuse the gospel.

Chris,

Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16: 22-24 It is an offense to the Lord for us to live

according to the soul.

Romans 16:19-20 Be wise about what is good, Innocent about what is evil. 1 Corinthians 13:2 You're nothing without love. 1John 4:8 God is Love.

Vanessa -- 1 Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Chris,

I generally agree with you concerning the Apocryphal books.

Please do not think that I am trolling you or nitpicking. It is absolutely not my intent at all.

I do, however, believe that it is the righteous works of Abraham that built his faith in God and in turn built God's faith in Abraham. (something like- those to whom much is given, much is expected- I forget the Book / verse.

As Jesus states: "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works." ( Matthew 16:27)

When the Lord and Savior returns, He will happily be looking upon the good works of His faithful servants.

"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also" ( James 2:26), look at Romans 3:31, Galatians 3:12, James 2:18-20, etc.

Our FAITH is plainly seen through our righteous acts (WORKS) by obeying the LAWS of God (which do not apply to

usonly.when we don't break them).

Have you looked into the Dead Sea Scrolls?

Peter(Petros)- a small pebble

Jesus - The chief cornerstone, the foundation of our faith(rock of our salvation)

"On this rock(himself) I will build my church" One of Jesus Christ's sayings

Peter not the first Pope, but alive in Christ his savior (Yahweh, our savior)

Without the blood of Jesus being shed for our sins and His resurrection Christianity in its true form cannot exist.

If Jesus was only a sinful man like us - remember the wages of sin is death, but God's gift to us is eternal life through His Son!

Also ...

Matthew 16:15-19

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys...

No man (flesh and blood) revealed it, so what did Peter do, seeing he had the keys, when asked?

Acts 2:37-40

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?

Well, he gave them the truth, as revealed to him.

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.

Peter also thought all who can be baptised should, and told them the correct name to use, not just titles, the name.

2 Timothy 3:16

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

All scripture, so we cannot discard a single thing, we must fit within ALL scripture, not make the scripture fit our way of thinking, that is why we have hundreds of denominations.

Peter was ignorant and unlearned by the way.

Acts 4:13

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

So I take knowledge of them also, the Lord cannot be the Author of confusion.

What a blessing when the holy spirit uses our mouth, tongue and spirit to utter concurrence holy spirit.

It only then that brings glory to God in heaven and honor to his name earth.

However, gifts are earned but given by omniscient God and we receive them humbly and use them even with humility. Remember what Jesus said to not long after this affirmation.

Romans 2:6-7, 10

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Gwen,

Jesus said in John 6:40, "And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Everybody that the Father draws to Christ will come. And everybody that comes to the Son and receives Him, Jesus will not lose a single one.

2 Peter 3:9 says that the Lord is not willing that any should perish.

For those who receive Christ, what He expects from us is faithfulness. We are to humble ourselves before Him, submit to His will in our lives, and be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Jesus gave us the command deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. ( James 4:7-10, Romans 12:2, Matthew 16:24). Submitting ourselves to God's transformation process, and allowing Him to renew our minds through a continuous study of His word, is the acceptable, and perfect will of God for us. ( Romans 12:2).

Peter you are right it was the Pharisees who had Jesus killed. Why you wonder

Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he (Jesus) began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Matthew 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Read Matthew 23 sometime and see what Jesus had to say to their man made rules and practices.

John 8 is another eye opener. Jesus hated hypocrisy and traditions that made the Laws of God void.

There is a place we all go to be judged before we go to heaven or hell.

Peter was not the rock that Jesus was referring to. (but that's what the Catholics believe.) Jesus was referring to himself. Upon this rock (Jesus) I will build my church.

Matthew 16:3
"And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Read Matthew 16:13-16 That should answer your question. God bless

Read the rest of the verse and I think you will understand.

Matthew 16:27 Jesus Christ said For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

I will give my opinion of what I read and hope it helps the viewers. My thoughts on this chapter. The Pharisees and Sadducees ask a sign. Jesus cautions against the doctrine of the Pharisees. Peter's testimony that Jesus was the Christ. Christ foretells his sufferings and rebukes Peter. The necessity of self-denial. Remember viewers Satan kills, still, and destroy. families who we love to attack.

Okay. I agree.

I would tell them to study John an to read of that in John 3:13

I accused you nothing, sorry if you felt that way, I saw the comment and addressed it as one body in Christ we help each other in understanding so they aren't lead astray, we dont condemn no man unless we choose to be self righteous God Bless you always

First of all, I NEVER said that CHRIST misspoke nor, would I ever. I believe "let GOD be true and every man a liar..." Someone ELSE commented and said that. Secondly, CHRIST meant what He said..NO MAN hath ascended into Heaven.." ONLY CHRIST did that in His Holy, Human body for He IS both GOD and man. If you are CHRIST's when you die you go to Heaven if not, then you go to Hell. No in betw

Jesus asked Peter who do you say I am, he said the son of God, Peter knew the scriptures of the Old testament and knew He would being going to the cross to die for His people to save them , how he knew it was satan God bless you
