Hi Barb, I don't think it must be one or the other.
The Bible is full of metaphors to explain things like our relationship to God. I see T. Levis shared scriptures for "sons", so I'll share different ones:
John 21:16,17, Jesus said this directly to one person, Simon, Son of Jonas, called Peter. To understand more deeply, you would have to follow the scriptures that happened prior.
Please read: John 10:1-18, Psalms 100:3,
Luke 12:22-32,
Matthew 26:31-75, Mark 14:27-72, Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, prophecy from Old Testament: Isaiah 53, Zechariah 13:7,
Example of people lovingly referred to as sheep : 2Samuel 24:17, 1Chronicles 21:17, 2Chronicles 18:16, Psalms 74:1, Psalms 78:52, Psalms 79:13, Ezekiel 34:6,
Matthew 9:26, Matthew 18:12,13, Mark 6:24, 1Peter 2:25, compassion,
Deuteronomy 8:3,
John 6:47-69, notice in that moment "Simon Peter"'s reply: John 6:68,
- This song of praise should be considered as a prophecy, and even used as a prayer, for the coming of that time when all people shall know that the Lord he is God, and shall become his worshippers, and the sheep of his pasture. Great encouragement is given us, in worshipping God, to do it cheerfully. If, when we strayed like wandering sheep, he has brought us again to his fold, we have indeed abundant cause to bless his name. The matter of praise, and the motives to it, are very important. Know ye what God is in himself, and what he is to you. Know it; consider and apply it, then you will be more close and constant, more inward and serious, in his worship. The covenant of grace set down in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, with so many rich promises, to strengthen the faith of every weak believer, makes the matter of God's praise and of his people's joys so sure, that how sad soever our spirits may be when we look to ourselves, yet we shall have reason to praise the Lord when we look to his goodness and mercy, and to what he has said in his word for our comfort.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
the Book of Psalms was written by many writers. A Psalm is a Song. Many people have recorded songs with Bible verses.
It is the presence of the Holy Spirit that helps us praise. You show yourself to be very blessed.
I even sing Psalms, through tears, when reading of the difficulties King David experienced-so much like my own problems.
I much prefer music on YouTube that is all scripture so I can hear the Melody. I like John Michael Talbot and his brother, Terry's music sometimes. See what you think.
'Troubadour' means singer. John has an album called Troubadour.
In the battle against The Walls of Jericho; the Singers were in the front, the musicians next.
Hello Betty-Ellen. Psalm 100, a Psalm of Praise by an unknown author, is his declaration of joy & praise as he comes before the LORD in worship. In verse 4, he speaks of entering the gates of the Tabernacle or Temple precinct with thanksgiving and also going further in to the open area in front of the Tabernacle/Temple (the court) with praise. Worship & praise are continually upon his lips as knows the significance of this holy place & where the High Priest meets with God each year.
Today, those who are saved & in Christ, have bodies indwelled by the Spirit of God ( 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 6:19), & this reminds us that no matter where we are or whatever situation we find ourselves in, we can always talk to God, listen to Him, be comforted by Him & to offer praise & thanksgiving to Him. Certainly, we can also rejoice when entering a Church building preparing ourselves for corporate learning & worship, but we have so much more than those in olden days, where worship of God is not confined in a set aside area, but in response to the Holy Spirit within us causing us to lift our hearts & voices to God always.
The wage of sin is death, the death of this body of flesh. Spiritual death is impossible because Spirit is IMMORTAL.
God is SPIRIT.
Ephesians 4:4 There is ONE BODY (CHRIST) and ONE SPIRIT (the FATHER) .....
The angels are MINISTERING SPIRITS; if LUCIFER was an angel, then he CAN NOT be destroyed, you can't DESTROY SPIRIT. Physical FIRE does nothing to Spirit.
Lazarus and the rich man is a PARABLE, not LITERAL.
If we have to answer for our sins then CHRIST death was in vain.
You are chastised for not believing (obeying) his words.
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (SPIRIT) that WORKETH IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO HIS good PLEASURE.
When you ADD yourself into the equation it becomes the works of you hands, which is an IDOL.
In that day they will say unto me, DID WE NOT, etc., etc. and he will say unto them, depart from me ye workers of iniquity.
God uses his ministering spirits to be a LYING SPIRIT in MEN'S PROPHETS, ( 1 Kings 22:19-22) causing man TO DO HIS WILL.
God is SOVEREIGN, his plan for creation to be ONE IN HIM; will not fail.
1 Corinthians 15:28 And when ALL THINGS shall be subdued unto him (Christ), then shall the SON also himself be subject unto him (the Father) that put ALL THINGS UNDER HIM, that GOD (Spirit, Truth, Life) may be ALL IN ALL.
Dear Glenn , I'm not sure if I understand you correctly when you say that no one has died . There are lots of scriptures I could ask you about , I will choose Ezekiel Ch 18 , what do you think it is about ? If death is not the cessation of life what is it ? If when we die we still live on in some form why would God say what He does in v23 and v32 of Ch 18 . I feel as if I am beeing brutal towards you and I'm sorry because that is not my intention . If we go to somewhere wonderfull after our physical bodies die why aren't Christians everywhere killing themselves so they can be in that wonderfull place ? As far as I'm aware the Bible does not say that suicide is a sin . Many Christians have extremely hard lives in very difficult and distressing circumstances , why aren't they killing themselves to get to that lovely place as soon as possible ? I am genuinely interested to know what you believe and why you believe it . I have noticed that a lot of people , not you or anyone on this site , family friends work colleagues etc are extremely offended at the thought of ceasing to exist ,people of other faiths etc prefer to believe that 'something ' happens to us or we go 'somewhere' . I honestly think this belief comes from human pride , our pride in our own selves and desire to be of some importance in some way to some one . We are grass . But for the love and grace of God in devising a perfect means of salvation and without Christ's love and obedience to God that's what we would always be , grass . Here today gone tomorrow . I am sorry if I have been rough on you , I don't mean to be , please don't take this as a personal attack because it isn't one I promise . I can only speak my beliefs .
Hi , good news is that, no one is dead as of now ( spiritual) an as we are taught, there is only one person sworn to death , an that's Lucifer as described in Ezekiel chapter 28 , course those fallen angels, are doomed for destruction, as described in Jude ,.. otherwise, all who have passed in flesh, are on one side of the gulf or the other, as described in the story of lazeris an the rich man,.. bottom line, no one is gone , or dead !!! An no one has stopped existing as of now ,.. that'll all be worked out by our Heavenly Father, on the great white throne judgement, after the millennium, an as described, judgement starts at the pulpit, so teachers , preachers , pastors, ANYONE who teaches Gods word, should be very cautious, for as described, you'll not only answer for your sins , but also for the ones you do taught !!! An that's a heavy burden, if you are not teaching correctly
Hi Leroy , the day-of Christ's return to earth is as close as the day of your death is to you . I believe that when I die I shall cease to exist until that moment when Christ returns to establish his Father's Kingdom on earth , I shall know nothing .When he returns I will be ressurected , called into his presence to be judged and the hopefully I will be permitted a place in his Father's Kingdom .
The Bible has to fulfill it's according to God word, so why or so many preachers saying God could come back today, tomorrow, next week when the bible is not fulfill it self yet?
Verse 1 caught my eye when He said " I am sought of them that ask not for me; I am found of them that sought me not. Whether we ask not He is always there to help us. He knows what our needs are before we ask. Psalms 100:3 says it is God that hath made us not we ourselves. He knows our going out and coming in. I thank Him for always being there for me during both my good and bad times. I read this chapter and comments through watery eyes. This proves that God is waiting for us to come to Him, He has the answer.
Hi Sheila. It would be difficult to share on verse 4 only, without looking at the whole Psalm. So, I shall give some thoughts for you. The author of Psalm 100 is unknown, but it is a call for ALL to worship the LORD. The Psalmist is so full of praise & thanksgiving, that he longs for all the inhabitants of the Earth to worship the LORD (v1).
He then adds in verse 3, to know that the LORD is (the One) God. Psalm 96:5: "For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens." That there can only be one True God for He is the One Who has created us, we are accounted as His very own - as a Shepherd Who owns, guards & nourishes His flock - He loves all His creation, even those who reject or deny Him - He gives blessing to each one ( Matthew 5:45: "(God) maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."). And a further reminder, that He created mankind & we are not "self-created" or from our vain imaginations, but that God is not only our Creator but our Sustainer & Provider.
With that Truth in our hearts, why shouldn't all people respond with "thanksgiving, praise & blessing" to His Name (v 4), & especially to those to Whom He has revealed Himself (Israel) & to those of us, by virtue of His Son's Death & Resurrection & Gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Israel should have entered the Temple gates & courtyard with such joy & confidence in their Creator but sin hid God's Face from them ( Isaiah 59:2). Likewise, harbouring sin in our lives, will keep us from joy & confidence in the Lord & our praise might be only empty words habitually spoken. But when we come into the Holy Place (the place of His Presence, of joy & rest), we can be confident because of "having clean hands, and a pure heart" ( Psalm 24:4) & that because of Jesus' shed Blood for us ( Hebrews 10:19-22). We can praise Him from our hearts through words, music, testimony & witness ( Hebrews 13:15).
Please read theses verses and pray to God to open your understanding to the right way to go.
