Discuss Matthew 1 Page 35

Praise God, This book shows us how the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham was formed. We can see that the book recognized the presence of a woman like Rahab, Ruth, Uriah and Mary thus shows that everybody is equal before the Lord. Be blessed.

Jesus is the only way to salvation of which believe in Him.

it is an amazing story of love marriage and faith

That people should find them to read the word of God, it is a blessing, because God is in control. Amen.

This scripture reveals several truths, it gives the account of the immaculate conception of the Messiah. Also it gives the genealogy of the Messiah which is important because it lets us know that he was from the linage of Abraham whom God promised the world would be blessed though his seed.

This scripture teaches me that God's love for mankind is so huge that He will go to any length in order to bring mankind to himself.

To me, the Bible is the manual on how to enter into God's glory, to be one of the hundred and forty four thousand who will spend eternity before the Throne of God.

I LOVE GOD.

I feel blessed by Matthew 1:1.

Do you know God died for our sins? No matter how many times. We mess up or make bad choices for ourselves. The is Key in our choices; not God’s choices for us.

I love the lord Jesus.

I think the genealogy is very important, because it establishes the gospel connection so beautifully to all those antecedents who wrote of it, and who looked forward to it. Even some of them, like Zorobabel- that most would have forgotten, a king in exile, received a promise, too.. and it was fulfilled. God is the God of history. He has been actively involved in mankind, to redeem it and left no stone unturned, proving to the world who Jesus Christ is, and that the Father was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. This year, at Christmas we read this genealogy aloud because it is that important.

Did anyone notice that the "star" leads these guys PAST where Jesus was. To a man who wants to kill him, and then leads them back to the YOUNG child?

What a mystery, what a story so sweet to hear, how GOD humbles himself and became man just for mankind. Thank you for the salvation.

This is the TRUE WORD OF GOD, if you will! Sent to us by GOD as a lifestyle and written for us to know and see that GOD IS TRUE! But unless we get SPIRITUAL (not religious), we can't see what GOD has for us, or is telling us. The Book Of MATTHEW is the TRUE WORD OF GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE, for one that believes! 1611 BIBLE(KING JAMES) WAS GIVEN TO US FROM GOD, AND NO MAN TOUCH IT, BUT IT HELP US THE RIGHT BELIEVING, UNDERSTANDING, AND PUTTING OUR TRUST IN THE TRUE WORD OF GOD, AND LEAD US TO LIFE OUT OF DEATH.... BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH, AND WE THE ISRAEL, NEED TO LEARN MORE OF OUR HISTORY AND OUR GOD, AND BE HEALED, DELIVERED, AND SET FREE FROM THE FALSE WAY OF LIVING THE WORLD AND HAS CAUSED US TO LIVE!!!

Please excuse the spelling. I love all the scripture of the bible. What hurts me is when these so called ex-Christians say they grew up in a Christian home but as they got older they realized that scientific theory and what they teach you in public school on evolution is right, and can’t teach about God and creation, it is messed up. There is this tv show called thirty days one of the episode had an atheist live with these Christians for 30 days. She tries saying there is no afterlife. You just die you see it in nature. What hurts me about her is she said she grew up Christian. She believes in science and that we as humans control our bodies well. If she reads the bible she should know that God gave us the choice to follow him or not, is that not the same as giving you control of yourself. My ex boss and I had plenty of talks about God, Jesus and the holy spirit we both are Christians. He goes to church faithfully. I don’t go to church anymore, haven’t gone in about 20 years. My boss couldn’t believe I haven’t been in years. He once said to me that I know more about the scripture than half the people he went to church with even a lot of the elders there who spent their lives going to church. What I told him is I believe there are 3 types of Christian. Let me elaborate on Christians; some people think they are Christians. What I mean is growing up I went to church because I wanted to; my mom and dad did not go to church but I loved going hearing about our God, his son and the holy spirit and all the bible scriptures. See I went to church not because I grew up in a Christian home or was made to go to church. But I went because I wanted to. So when my ex boss said that I knew a lot about the bible I said when you’re made to go or you used to go because you grew up going. If we are made to do something, we rebel if we grew up going. It’s just routine if you choose to go you listen and you want to learn. So when a person grew up Christian and ends up turning to a non believer they never truly let the lord in their hearts because they were either going with the fellow or because they went every Sunday and it’s part of their routine or you rebelled because you were made to go. That is why I believe these ex-Christian are distorting the truth because they never opened their hearts to listen and read the bible. I may not go to church anymore and know that all over the world there are different cultures and a lot of these different cultures talk about a great flood. As far as science and evolution, they can’t pinpoint what happened to the dinosaurs but through carbon dating they say they roamed the earth 60 million before humans. carbon dating is nothing but nonsense. The bible says we were around the dinosaurs. Before they even found a fossil dinosaurs were written in the bible. They want admit that a majority of them died in the great flood. Because they can’t find human remains in the same rock layers as the dinosaurs. In the book of Genesis God told Adam and Eve they came from the dirt, they will go back to dirt when we die. So if I still after 20 years believe after all the stupid things I did, I still believe and it gets stronger everyday. Please out of love to all my brother and sister in Christ. Amen.

I like the king james BIBLE

Praise the Lord.

I forgot to add that since the writer (Matthew) portray Jesus as a king:
1. A king has a genealogy;
2. A servant (as Mark portrays Jesus) does not have a genealogy;
3. A man (as Luke portrays Jesus) does have a genealogy;
4. God (as john portrays Jesus) does not have a genealogy.

All about Jesus’ life on earth.

I think it tells us just who Jesus is... Emmanuel, God with us...

Matthew 25 can be a difficult chapter so we must remember some of the basic rules of interpretation:
1. Matthew is a book about the king of the Jews ( Matthew 2:2);
2. Until the cross they are under the law;
3. Jesus first came to save his people the Jews ( Matthew 1:21);
4. Much of Matthew is prophetic given to the Jews for the future, knowing that the Jews were going to reject Jesus as their Messiah. The titles of each book are clues to whom that book is directed at, Jewish title or gentile title. In chapter 25, if a person stumbles over the doctrinal intent then, it will be difficult understanding the spiritual intent. I believe that this chapter 25 is mainly given to the Jews in the tribulation age. Trying to place this chapter in the church age will not work and here is why.
a. Kingdom of heaven is a Jewish term;
b. Virgins = 144,000 Jews from Revelation 7:4 3;
c. The church is always without exception referred as singular (never plural);
d. Oil = holy spirit and it can never be purchased but given when asked for in church age;
e. The wise virgins trimmed their lamps = good works;
f. The foolish virgins did not trim their lamps = no works;
g. In church age we are saved by grace not by works;
h. The 5 virgins go out to meet the bridegroom (church age saints are caught up to be with him);
i. I believe there will be a tribulation rapture ( Revelation 11:12) and the 5 wise virgins that took oil, (in church age we receive oil (holy spirit)) go up with Christ in the tribulation rapture ( Revelation 14:12-16) and the 5 foolish virgins that did not trim their lamps go into the millennial age after second advent of Christ.

It might be helpful understanding the genealogy of Jesus in greater detail. When we understand that the book of Matthew portrays Jesus as king of the Jews, and then take another look at the lineage from Abraham to Jesus.

It is telling us about the miracle birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ...To have a good relationship with Him and Faith and Believe... Even when it sometimes seems hard, Believe... God Bless all.

Matthew's gospel presents Jesus as the son of David, and therefore the rightful heir to the throne of his father. We call him Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sin. He is Emmanuel because he is God with us. We call him Christ, for he is the Messiah who shall reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. We call him Savior, because his death, burial, and Resurrection is the gospel that saves us. Praise God, he had to first be born of the Virgin Mary, and that Joseph in obedience to the angel, took her to be his wife in fulfilment of prophecy. The testimony of Jesus, is the Spirit of prophecy.

We must know that Jesus is our redeemer, that we should know who Jesus is to us and we should have excellent relationship with him.

I am blessed to be able to write this, it's a bliss to witness the birth of Jesus Christ as told by Mathew. Joseph to know then the command he was given that his wife a virgin was carrying our lord the saviour, what a blessing for him to have the Messiah come from his genealogy.

The meaning of Matthew is "gift of GOD" but wait the Gift was the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Truly what a miracle, blessing and precious gift was the birth of Christ. I don't deserve his grace and blessings but He gives them freely to those who know Him as Saviour.

This chapter helps to dispel those who challenge or doubt Jesus' lineage which is accounting his 42 generational links to his birth. Many of us want to know and understand our past through record searches and this is one we should familiarize ourselves with even for study sake.

The divine birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (the anointed one) was foretold by the prophecy in Old Testament. Although was foretold, because people are easy to forget, Joseph too should, is the reason God sent a reminder message of prophecy. There was also a command to name Him Jesus. His name means all things to all people. It all depends on your personal relationship with Him. E.g a brother me can be a father to someone. If you are not related to Him you'll surely not know what to call Him. Be blessed fellows.
