Discuss Psalms 117

Yesteryear we had a Christian culture, amen.

Hello T. Seesley.

In Bible times, when something is done in the name of someone it is meant that the action is done on the authority of the person named. So, to baptize in John's name, it is on the authority John the Baptist was given as the forerunner and prophet prophesied to appear to announce the coming of the Messiah. If one is baptized in the name of Jesus, it is done by the authority of Jesus.

When Jesus said to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, then He was saying that the action is done by the authority of the Godhead. Also, in this baptismal instruction, Jesus was teaching that in baptism, all of God attests to the action and validates it. He also revealed that the Godhead is tri-fold.

To my understanding, one can be baptized in the name of the Father, son, and Holy Spirt, or simply in the name of Jesus, or Jesus Christ, or Lord Jesus, or the Lord, as Acts shows that the apostles spoke of all these names being used in baptism. WE do not really know the exact words the apostles used each time they baptized. Yet, when they speak of being baptized, the name mentioned is to indicate by whose authority they are baptizing the new believer.

Maybe you are able to answer folllowing question:

In Bible it says we must be baptized in Jesus name and filled of the Holy Ghost to see the Kingdom of God. Another place says be baptized in the name of the father, son and Holy Spirit.

Not sure if you are allowed to answer the question.

Have a blessed day!

Hello Michael,

The Bible helps us to learn of the Good News in Jesus Christ. It teaches us. But it is only Jesus who "gets us to heaven" by His perfect life, sacrificial death, and triumphant resurrection. To place ones trust for heaven in anything or anyone else is idolatry.

I do not believe that I can get to Heaven with any other bible other than The KJV. So is the open bible a different version than KJV?

This Psalm reassures me that no matter the situation, God's mercy and love are still evident and available. But that could be interpreted a number of ways. Life, it seems, has become upside down. What once was evil and perverted has become desirable and wholesome. There is a great evil among us. The most comforting thing in life is to know that YAHWEH loves each of us in absolute perfection. He knows every facet of our being, the good and the bad. Until He returns, His free offer of salvation is available to us. He is also almighty and sovereign and He will have the final say of the outcome of all worldly events, all of them. He can weave the entangled mess that we make of out lives into a fine fabric of beauty, functionality and durability. He is still here, with us. The offer of salvation is still open to all people. It also comforts me to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that YAHWEH is in full control of absolutely everything that happens on earth for all eternity and absolutely nothing can ever take Him by surprise. He is complete. He Is all powerful. And no matter how bad and hopeless a situation may seem here and now, The earthly realm of time and space will pass and we will be able to look back, in great relief and joy and know that the evil is gone forever. Though the sorrow may last through the night, His joy comes in the morning; and what a wonderful morning it will be. All of the lies, greed, pain, murder, deceit, perversion, corruption, all of it forever destroyed and even forgotten. All creation will be as God intended it to be from the beginning and that could only be accomplished by His absolute display of love for us by sending His only begotten Son Yehoshua to pay the price we owed and could never possibly have paid which is eternal death. I must focus on the sacrificial Love of God each day and remember what He sacrificed for me. And to somehow fathom His love for me. Once accepted with the faith of a child, all will come into focus.

Spread the gospel to the entire world love your neighbors we are under god were separated for a time to find peace with each other we aren't passing the test good and knowledge has turned backwards but can we change god's plans when we change his word Let's repent for it maybe that time is at hand that will be good for some but bad for others speak of the lord or savior and listen even when you don't hear god does this sight says 1563 words left to speak but I could sum it up. In three father son and spirit ?

GOD will do what he said, trust him.

Genesis 1:22 KJV And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Fill the waters in the seas.that is, fill the praise of God before all of the nations (seas) of the world. The waters are people, languages, etc. The earth shall be filled with knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 11:9-10 KJV They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. (10) And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Let fowl multiply in the earth.that is, words of His praise will be multiplied before all of the nations of this world. Praise the LORD, all you nationspraise Him all you people. We are to praise Him for His mercy, kindness and the revealing of His Truth.

Psalms 117:1-2 KJV O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. (2) For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

I will confess/praise/thank Him among the nations (gentiles) and sing unto His name. Let fowl multiply in the earththat is, words/songs of God's praise and thanksgiving to Him among all nations of this world. The words of His praise multiply and fly through the air for the nations to hear. We, His people, are to abound with His praiseglorifying God before all nations.

Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:(9) And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.(10) And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.(11) And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

Shalom, this Psalm give me more reason to praise Yahweh. "His merciful kindness and truth endures forever." This shows that his salvation is for all people from different walks of life, not for the Jews only but for the Gentiles too.

I agree.

i memorised it to

Praise the Lord. When we praise the Lord there is this renewed strength and power that fills the heart and blesses the soul. Bless the name of the Lord.

Even with the problematic chemicals in tap water, God is helping me find clean water every day. I trust in His provision daily.

Yes, I agree. I feel so blessed to see the ways the Lord has been faithful to me throughout the trials of my life. I ve seen Him working through others it has bolstered my faith in God s love and power. Praise God! If I had not had these problems, I would never have seen the wonders of God!

This is the shortest, yet one of the most meaningful chapters in The Bible.

Praise be to God indeed; questioning about the whole Jesus thing.....no mention of that one till later. Good that some understand; shame to those who gloss over what they are unwilling to accept by putting that name to everything when it becomes inconvenient. God was, is, and will always be.

WOW! WOW! WOW!... Ain't GOD Gooooooooood! WOW! WOW! WOW!

I memorized this chapter ,what's cool about it it's the shortest chapter in the whole bible

Praise God every minute he is merciful loving and gentle saveher and I love h my master and friend I can talk to him and tell him everything Lord thank you for your son Jesus Christ.

Jesus Love Us So Much!! He IS So loving and So kind and So Sweet! I Love Jesus and I will forever Give Him the Praises and the Glory and Blessed His Name Forever!!!

Yes indeed if not his loving mercy we would have perish long time ago. This is the reason why am always praising him. We should not let this gesture by pass us so as to avoid hell.

its true our God is full of merices and his love endures forever.

I would like to talk about his merciful kindness (man when God loves us despite our faults and still show us love and kindness) We are blessed beyond measures. Glory

These are the words for 2017, all nations, all people, his merciful kindness and truth. This is why I Praise Him and will continue to until He comes again, Amen.

Jesus Christ is our lord and savior, May we be together for ever. HALLEL U YA !!!
