Discuss Matthew 1 Page 9

Matthew 1:1 give you the actual seed line or genealogy of him. His birth is foretold as fast back as Deuteronomy 18:15-19 scriptures 15 and 18 being the points of interest. Matthew 1:14 let's you know how many generations it was from Abraham to the Anointed One.

Of course Bron, my answer would be, Jesus is 'The Son of God'. Yet, when we read the passage you gave ( Matthew 22:41-46), the Pharisees, who did not believe that this Jesus before them, was the Christ from God, prompted Jesus to question them on what they did believe, i.e. when Christ comes, He will be of the lineage of King David, as promised. Jeremiah 23:5,6 gives us the clearest allusion to Jesus' heritage through David, as both Messiah & King.

So the Pharisees gave the correct answer according to their understanding of the Scriptures pertaining to the coming Christ. But Jesus wanted to put a question in their minds concerning not just that belief, but Who it was standing before them. So Jesus referred to Psalm 110:1, where David wrote that "the LORD (Jehovah) said unto my Lord". If David called the Messiah 'Lord', how then is He David's son? For no father ever called his son, Lord of his life. Even though in this passage, Jesus didn't say that 'I am that One', the Pharisees were put in quite a theological predicament as to the claim of Messiah being David's Son. This predicament ought to have them run to search the Scriptures further & again take a good long look at Jesus, Who not only came in David's lineage ( Matthew 1:1), but also came fully endowed with Divine powers & graces, proving that David's Son is also the One from God, fully divine and indeed the Messiah they were expecting. But we know what they treated Him rather than falling at His Feet in shame & repentance.

Thank you

Adam just showed a link inside this site that compares several versions. If you type verse, bottom of page has "Other Translations for ___:__"

Do we have a similar piee of software under which we can read and discuss the NJKB?

Hello, not everyone believes that interpretation. The Bible is clear that the dead will be caught up in the air. It says they will be sleeping before that. There's more Biblical support for that than the alternative. Paul's actual quote of 'rather' being with the Lord is taken out of context so often its like the telephone game. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

the name of God is purely the LORD. It is mentioned in the Bible almost 7000 times. The proof that is God's name is the apostles, when writing the new testament transliterated the name of God from Hebrew to Greek and use the name the LORD. Yahweh is a name of God not found in the kjb. God revealed his name first as the LORD God, then God Almighty, then the LORD(Jehovah), then Jesus Christ. The name of Jesus is above all names. According to Revelation 3:12, God will reveal a new name of his in heaven.

When I see people using the name Yashua instead of jesus, it shows me that they don't believe the Greek New Testament and did not even make it to Matthew 1:1 which says

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Matthew 1:21 says And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Thank You Jesus for all those You have saved this day.

By Your grace. For Your glory. Alleluia!

Matthew 1:21: Kjv: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call

his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Philippians 2:8-11: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled

himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name

which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should

bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth:

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the

glory of God the Father.

Matthew 4:17: From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:

for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord as when the silver cord is broken. You do have a soul and spirit, but you will also be given a new body which is changed which originated from the flesh. But, now will be changed and raised up immortal as written in 1 Corinthians 15:49-53

Your soul & spirit are with Christ who is raised up already. Why do the ones martyred ask the Lord how much longer if the dead cannot speak (speaking of course their dead old flesh bodies). The old flesh body is asleep - but the soul & spirit are awake and praise God alive.

God is not the God of the dead but Is the God of the living! Paradise is not where we are not conscious or asleep.

Where is Christ now? We'll He died and took our death! Praise God we will be with Him in our last second when our flesh body passes away as our soul & spirit ascends to be with Him and forevermore. Plus we get to be with Him now because He will never leave us or forsake us and is with us!

We are "NEW" creatures.

Also, it says as He is "NOW" so are we in this world. Also, says that we are seated already with Him in heavenly places. Our flesh body is the only thing down here that needs to be raised or change similar to this age as it will also wear out like an old garment. The flesh body is the only thing left down here that needs to be translated.

He is coming soon so Praise God the dead in Christ will rise first like it was before so shall it be again similar to Matthew 27:52 except those then were not yet with Christ till after His death when He set the captives free!

May God bless and May we all look to Jesus and praise Him!

You have a soul and a spirit, and you also have God's spirit he breathed into Adam, one place it says the spirit of man goes up and the spirit of the beast goes down plus it says there is no knowledge in the grave and death is called sleep in the OT and NT both. But if the dead in Christ rise then how can they be in heaven wouldn't they descend? With that does it matter people get comfort from Mom's in heaven watching over me, scriptural truth or fable. I always thought if we have to be judged and there is a judgement day how are we in heaven before judgement day. dose our spirit go up but our soul sleeps? Lazarus died yet Jesus brought him back to life, we see Abrham with Jesusl

1 Timothy 6:20

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:"

Because science says that, but the bible shows around 6,000+ years Matthew 1:17

"So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations."

You have from the beginning to the flood then the 2000 yrs since Jesus was crucified as well. Now before Abraham you men living 8 t0 900 years.

So if a person wanted to be biblically learned in the age of the earth you can study it in Chronocals where the genealogies are listed from before the flood and the age of each person.

Science is based on man's theory 1 Corinthians 3:19

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness."

So does it matter, you either believe or you don't if you do believe then God's word is the authority remember man doesn't believe the creation, they believe a large mass exploded and trillions of perfect round planets, moons, and stars came from that explosion. Hebrews 11:1

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

A believer's source of information, beliefs, and opinions is God's word. For out of the fulness of the heart speaketh thy lips. Read God's word, for faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God

King James Version (KJV)

I've recently noticed on this site you can download KJV free. It was on the right hand side of page, near bottom as I was reading the different books of the Bible on this site.

Hopefully that's helpful

Heaven won't be about us matter of fact john shall a new heaven and earth because the old had passed away and the temple come down from heaven Rev. it says they will neither be male or female, a 71 years old person can be a babe in Christ say he was saved at 70 and died at 71 he's a year Old in Christ, Paul said it does not yet appear what we shall be so I don't think we know. An elder could be 30 if he was saved at 16 and an older person not be if they were just saved. plus we only know in part 1 Corinthians 13:12

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." And some words were unlawful for Paul to speak, 2 Corinthians 12:4

"How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."

King James Version (KJV)

Hi Dwayne.

I Agree with Brother Jesse and Brother T. Lewis.

Mary was a virgin as prophesied when she conceived.

But it seems your concern was how did that play a role in the line of David right?

Mary was of the line of David also.

The Bible provides us with two lengthy genealogies of Christ. Matthew, as a Levite, focuses on the Messiahship of Jesus in that he traces the legal line from Abraham (thought to be the first Jew) through David, then Solomon and the royal line, to Joseph, the legal father of Jesus ( Matthew 1:1-17) and the husband of Mary. Luke, as a physician, focuses on the humanity of Jesus. He traces the blood line from Adam (the Son of God versus us, the sons of Adam) and once Luke gets to Abraham, the genealogy is identical to Matthew's up to the House of David. Then Luke goes from David, through Nathan (a different son of David) to Mary, the mother of Jesus ( Luke 3:23-38).

By this Jesus has the legal line as well the blood line and divinely avoid the curse pronounced on king Jeconiah in

Jeremiah 22:30.

God bless.

Matthew 1:25, Matthew 1:18-25,

Hi BMW.

Part 7 of 7.

(3) Gentiles were not required, but had the privilege of, joining the Hebrew family via the proselytization process (cf. Acts 2:10; 13:16). Additionally, there were many instructions in Moses' law designed to benefit the "strangers" (Gentiles) who came among Israelite people ( Leviticus 19:33ff).

(4) The Lord sent Jonah to the Gentiles of Nineveh ( Jonah 3:1). Archer said that the theme of the book of Jonah "is that God's mercy and compassion extend even to the heathen nations on condition of their repentance" (1964, 295). Jonah is sometimes called "the first apostle to the Gentiles."

(5) Four Gentile women were woven into the genealogical fabric of the Messiah-Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba-in both legal and biological senses ( Matthew 1:5-6; Luke 3:31-32).

(6) In addition, the prophets clearly revealed Jehovah's redemptive concern for the Gentiles, who were to be grafted into the New Testament church on an equal basis with the Jews ( Genesis 17:4; 22:18; Psalms 2:8; Isaiah 42:1, 6; 49:6; cf. Romans 11:1ff; Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 2:11ff).

Conclusion

There always has been a way for honest people to be right with their Creator-if they seek after him and choose to please him ( Acts 17:27ff). God so loved the entire world and gave his Son as a potential redeeming sacrifice for all who avail themselves of his gift ( John 3:16). He is the loving benefactor to everyone who submits to his will in faithful obedience ( 1 Timothy 2:4; Hebrews 5:8-9; cf. 2 Peter 3:9).

Article by Wayne Jackson.

I share this information for one to go over. I haven't had the time to do no more than glance over the beginning being I'm out town on business again.

Hopefully some others can share on this great question you asked.

God bless.

no I do not have a bible

Yes, Ronald

Daniel 12:3 says

(NIV)

Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.

So, we will shine in eternity. I think all of heaven will shine with the God's holy light

Revelations 21:22-23

Yet I think we will be able to discern Jesu' countenance and that of others

In this life here, such light would be blinding, but in our new incorruptible bodies, our eyes will not be bothered by the light of holiness we will experience forever in heaven.

Jesus is both the light of the world and the light of heaven.

Obviously light is associated with holiness, so when Jesus said to let our light shine in this life, He is referring to our godly lifestyle that causes others to glorify God.

Thanks for reminding me about these verses.

People who've died on operating tables and been resuscitated, have said children seen in a vision, were adolescents. (Including all of those who were aborted or miscarried).

For me, who lost a child by miscarriage, it comforts me that I will meet that child someday. I named him.

I don't think we should think of them as dead anymore.

People who suffered disabilities in life, of any type, will be perfect in heaven. All those feelings of being rejected because of imperfection, accidents or all reasons; will be RESTORED.

That is the Father that I've come to know and love. His heart is mercy. He truly cares what we suffer here on this earth. There will be no jealousy or envy; persecution of any type. No feelings of inadequacy. We'll all have the mind of Christ Jesus.

Think on these things. Set your heart on what's to come. Be at peace now; knowing that what God has purposed for us will be far and above anything we can imagine.

Glean from the BIBLE, scriptures that touch on this. Book of Job, Genesis after creation was completed; and so much more. Discover every verse that tells us specific details about heaven, Jesus, the Father, the Holy Spirit, angels.

Right now we know when we get to Heaven there will be a huge banquet at the marriage of the Lamb; to His people. (Covenant). We know that God enjoys banquets, music, dancing and choirs; we will stroll by the Tree of Life. No memories of past pain or hurts. Just a lot of JOY.

Search out those verses yourself and then come back here to share them with us.

Let's all do our best to evangelize those who think Heaven will be boring. We know what we know, in our hearts, already. Jesus is who we looked for, all of our earthly lives.

There is an equal alternative to drugs alcohol flesh parties, hollow sinful things. Heaven is NOT a buzz kill. It's JOY UNSPEAKABLE, full of Grace.

2 Peter 4 is coming to earth. Global warming is a LIE.

Mishael

Hey Gigi,

If we do like the little song; This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, it will shine then, some brighter than others but none as bright as our Savior Jesus Christ whose light shines through us.

Daniel 12:2-3 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Keep the light on and keep it shining.

God bless,

Simply, do not even bother to try an plant a seed of truth, to people who have no interest , an are of no faith, an would rather mock an criticize. For it would only waste your time, an then they'll mock an critique you as well

Peace

Although there is no scripture on this age factor, threw my studies, I have noticed that it seems to be, somewhere between 28 - 33 ,. An sense the spiritual body dose not get sick , or grow old ,.. that is what I thought, mind you now , this is just my understanding,.. thank you

Peace

Hi Adam

Good explanation.

I think that we will have a body like Jesus had after His resurrection. He could eat and be touched. He had human form and skin and bones.

But He could appear and move through time and space at will.

And the Angels said He would come back in the same way He ascended, bodily.

Yet, again. He did say that He went to the Father to receive back the glory He had before the creation of the world. We do not know what that glory is, but Paul's encounter on the road to Damascus and the Transfiguration tell us that He is surrounded by light. I don't know if we will shine like Jesus but I do think our bodies will be like His and we can be touched, eat, etc. like He did after the resurrection . I think we will continue to be filled with the Holy Spirit but in a more complete and perfect way.

Hello, I've heard this interesting question before, but the Bible doesn't answer this anywhere to my knowledge.

I'm not sure we will even have physical bodies per se, but perhaps some kind of spiritual body that is permanent that may have a a physical representation. Job 19:26 indicates there could be a flesh component.

1 Corinthians 15:52 suggests that the body may be a new incorruptable form.

The dead will rise to meet Jesus. Since bodies generally turn back into dust in the ground, I think its logical that some kind of renewed body or spiritual body would contain us. I would assume we would all look our natural mature age as an adult and not a child or senior, but this isn't based on anything Biblical, just speculation. God bless.

Please explain matthew 7:6

What age will we be in heaven. I can't imagine babies staying babies forever

Like lazeris an the rich man,.. as of now, there are 2 sides of heaven,. More or less holding places till all souls have had chance to be born , with a gulf in between they cannot cross, if you've been good your on the right an if you were just plain evil , your on the left . All though will be there in the millennium, an will have chance to redeem themselves,. In preparation of the great white throne judgement,.. remember every one gets a chance to be born from above threw water an into flesh, to decide weather they will worship God , or satin

Hey Rick,

Death is something we all will face; many believe our body dies and our soul lives on. Is our soul immortal? Can we take 2 Corinthians 5:8 when we die our soul leaves our body and we are present with the Lord? Some define death as a separation of the soul from the body. Does that come from scripture? I have not found that in scripture.

It comes from Greek philosophy of Plato. He wrote the body is a prison for the soul and viewed death as the means of freedom for the soul. The philosophy of death started blending in the church in the second century and those good souls go to heaven and the bad goes to hell and more. Many see the parable in Luke 16:19-31 as fitting this. If you read the chapter Jesus is talking about the unrighteous love mammon and neglect the true riches.

My understanding from scripture every part of us is mortal and when we die, we sleep in the dust, Job 14:12-14, Job 17:13-16, Ecclesiastes 9:5-10 until resurrection. When this mortal puts on immortality 1 Corinthians 15:52-58, and we will be absent from this flesh body. Then those that are Christs will be judged and receive our rewards. Matthew 16:27, Revelation 22:12 that is our hope, 1 Thessalonians 2:19

We will sleep in the dust, Daniel 12:2, 1Theselonians 4:14 and this is not from heaven, it is from around the world to meet Jesus in the air coming down to Israel the start the 1000 years at His coming. Matthew 24:31 Zechariah 14:4.

This is my understanding of scripture.

God bless,

RLW

Some confusion here. Some say that when we die the soul goes to God for judgement as the bible says once to die and then the judgement. That gives me the impression that the judgement comes after you die. If that is the case then the bible also says for the dead are dead and conscience of nothing but he will raise then up when he comes to the air but not his 2nd coming. The dead in Christ will rise first. And then the living will be called up. If the people are dead then and do not get raised until Christ appears in the sky, then how can their soul already be with God after they died. God made man from the dust of the ground and created a living soul. So if the soul goes to heaven up death, would this not man man immortal? Only God is immortal. There seems to be two possibilites here that I cannot get the right one. Are the soul and Body one or separate? Thanks.

The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US. [Jesus]

1 Corinthians 12:1-31 explains all the gifts, titled, administrations that God gives to the Church that Jesus has planted on earth Now.

Those that He calls, he anoints for the work. Luke 4:18. The Bible says the gifts and callings are without revocation. If we try to operate without the Holy Spirits anointing; we will not bear good fruit. Can even become apostate.

It's not something to treat carelessly. The Head of the Church is Jesus Christ. All parts of the Body are connected to Jesus.

God lives outside of time and inside of time.

Romans 1 says that if we dispute the evidence of the reality of God; we are without excuse.

I'm not debating this. It's for whomsoever Will believe God is. Can the clay say to the Potter, " what are you doing?!!

A good REFERENCE Study Bible (KJV)with a "center column reference cross scriptures" is very God for cross reading other relevant passages. It's the best.
