John Chapter 16 Discussion Page 7

In my opinion, these are the most powerful words ever written. He's only asking us to 'Cheer up!
He has done the rest,..This man (and the ONLY man who could even begin to speak these words 'I have overcome the World' and it be true!) wants us to stay in good cheer, no matter how bad our individual world gets, just remember he has paid the price for us! So, we are the lucky ones, stay in good cheer my friends, the price has been paid. The Kingdom awaits us.

Lord Jesus said we shall ask anything in His name and we shall be given, that includes healing, annointing, finances ect. but first thing first let us ask to strengthens our relationship with Him and all other thing shall be added to us. amen.

john3;16 says god love's us that why he send his only begoten son to come and die for me anb u and that who so ever believe in him shall not parish but shall have ever lasting life...so if u know he die for u, i will like u to shout a laughter halelujah

@Sygmund - Please tell me where in the KJV bible do I find that Elijah is the name of the comforter?

The text can best be understood in the light of the incident recorded in Numbers:11:17&25.It is Infact a type of what Jesus would later demonstrate during the feast of weeks/Pentecost.In Numbers God instructs Moses to bring to before the tabernacle 70 leaders of Israel.Only when the would stand before the tabernacle would God take of the Spirit that was with Moses and impart it to the 70 elders.This is exactly what would happen when Christ would reach heaven.God would take of the Spirit that imbued Christ at baptism,and dispense with it as promised.This God did at pentecost and later the same Spirit in Peter,as he began to speak at Cornellius' villa in Caesarea,what's imparted by (God) to all in the same way that it happened during Pentecost(Acts:10:44/11:15)

God is there to supply all of our needs. If we ask anything by His name we shall receive.

That the name of Jesus Christ is supreme and it is the only name that can appeal to God's heart for all request that man can submit. That is the only name that all the debates of the world centred.You are either in His camp or not. Jesus Christ is the issue, the pillar of all. The Son of God and the Savior of the world.

In our day to day life we will find unfriendly situations. And since jesus overcame there is assuarance of us overcoming is we look forward to jesus our savier.

What ever we need from our father,we receive through Jesus Christ.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

The comforter must be a great person who is always glorify Jesus in his holy scripture.. Did anybody read Koran? I heard that there was chapter marry on that scripture

The answer to the question who is the comforter is answerable only by the comforter himself. The Holy Spirit is not a person and has no name. It is an agency like electricity, a force that makes the will of God possible on earth. The comforter is the one Jesus promised to send. When asked by his disciples what would happen in the end he answered I will send you Elijah who will lead you into all truth. So now we know the name of the comforter. We cannot be comforted by someone who is not going through the same things we are. Elijah is the enforcer of God's will on earth but he is with us right now going through the same tribulation. That is why he can comfort us because he is also with us. If you run into Elijah you will know it right away. If you hear his voice you will recognize it right away. It is the voice of the father.

I am blessed when I read ths verse.

@Nabeel.

The comforter is the Holy Ghost. This becomes evident as you read more of the scriptures, especially the book of Acts. God bless you.

Who is the comforter?

This verse helps me to deal with my deep, dark, and ugly depression. Though day by day i wait for the day that i shall rest in YOUR arms eternally.

Jesus Christ is Lord.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

who is the comforter ??

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Who is the spirit of truth ? what guidence given by him to mankind ? what are the things he shew to mankind?

The Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as the spirit of God; or the spirit of Christ. The Holy Spirit is not another member of the Godhead, but the spirit of the Godhead. It should not speak of himself, but what he shall hear that shall he speak.

I have never truly got it before. This is an eye opener that describes the reality of my life here today. I am truly bewildered.

Please let's read the 7th verse and the 13th with this clarity: Jesus is God, Father is God and the spirit is God, is that right? If yes, does that mean that it is expedient for you that God goes away: for if God goes not away, the God will not come unto you; but if God departs, God will send God unto you. And at the 13th says that God the spirit of truth will not speak of God self but God hears what God shall speak and God shall guide you in all truth!! Please explain this to me. Thanks in advance.

Jesus is prepairing his diciples for his death and ressurection that why he said alittle while you will not see me and a little while you will see me. only Jesus was raised from the dead not mohummand

Yes,this is what i believe according to new testament's new commandements.SIN :-> is not wanting to believe the words,and the personne of the Lord and Glorious Savior, Jesus-Christ.
Therefore this is why i love to say with the Holy Spirit. He who practices SIN:-> is not wanting to believe the words,and the personne of the Lord and Glorious Savior, Jesus-Christ.
And as these commendable commentators say, like

It is not so much the transgression of the Law.

C.H Mackintosh : The First Epistle of John. Submitted by William Lincoln on Wed, 09/05/2007 - 05:00
“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law; for sin is the transgression of the law. There again is another very bad translation .
It should be—“for sin is lawlessness.”
-
William Kelly :1 Jean 3:4.
"Whosoever doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness?" This is a very different rendering from that of the A.V.; ...
Sin is not breach of law but lawlessness.
-This is the true sense. No other rendering is possible legitimately. What has ruled here is an utter mistake,founded on making the law instead of Christ the rule of life for the Christian, as people do who understand not the scriptures .
-
Pg.176,New International Commentary on the New testament- The Epistles of John,according to
-Howard Marchal.
1John 3:4.There are reasons to doubt that lawbreaking is to be understood here because the word «law» is completely absent.It is the same word as used in 2 Thess.3,7 speaking about the,
- man of lawlessness- which is referring to the one opposed to Christ and standing in opposition to Christ.
-
J.N Darby : 1st. Epistle of John,3:4
He who commits sin (not transgresses the law ), but acts lawlessly...
-
The writings of Hamilton Smith: The Epistles of John.-The apostles...states that, “Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness” (N.Tn.).
Sin is not simply transgressing a known law, as the defective translation of the Authorised Version suggests. The principle of sin is lawlessness, or doing one's own will apart altogether from any law.
-
Finally so many say so ,its why so many has denied the right to Jesus that has USED the phrases«the practice of sin,iniquity and evilness)Ex.as in John 8:34 Math,7:23 and John 3:20.
The right for the Lord Jesus that has given his difinition of sin( John 16:9 AS IN jn.8:34 THRU THE WHOLE CONTEXT- OPPOSITION TO CHIST) tHE REGRETTABLE ERROR OF 1JN.3:4 as so many, many, many commentators say,Tells me that it has denied the Master's teaching of his usage of the word to who John was faithful to.Therefore a regrettable error has ruled,and error means falsehood.

The Spirit of God in some sense had come, before the death of Christ; he had appeared in the creation of all things out of nothing, as a joint Creator with the Father and Son; he was come as a spirit of prophecy upon the inspired writers, and others; the Old Testament saints had received him as a spirit of faith; he had been given to Christ as man, without measure, and the disciples had been partakers of his gifts and graces; but he was not come in so peculiar a manner as he afterwards did; as the promise of the Father, the glorifier of Christ, the comforter of his people, the spirit of truth, and the reprover of the world: there are reasons to be given, why the Spirit of God should not come in such a manner before, as after the death of Christ. The order of the three divine persons in the Trinity, and in the economy of man's salvation, required such a method to be observed; that the Father should first, and for a while, be more especially manifested; next the Son, and then the Spirit: besides, our Lord has given a reason himself, why the Spirit "was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified", Joh_7:39; And the coming of the Spirit as a comforter, and the spirit of truth, was to be through the intercession, and by the mission of Christ; and therefore it was proper he should go away first, in order to send him; add to all this, that if Christ had not gone away or died, there would have been nothing for the Spirit to have done; no blood to sprinkle; no righteousness to reveal and bring near; no salvation to apply; or any of the things of Christ, and blessings of grace, to have taken and shown; all which are owing to the death of Christ, and which show the expediency of it: the expediency of Christ's death for the mission of the Spirit to his disciples, is very conspicuous; for hereby they were comforted and supported under a variety of troubles; were led into all truth, and so furnished for their ministerial work; and were made abundantly successful in it, that being attended with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power. ...Matthew Henry Commentary

john talks about the holly spirit being with us
God loved the world he gave his only son, so however be leaves in him shall not perish but will have the internal life.

Naser Fahad Jinnah, You are confusing verse 13 with Verse 2.

The Sprit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy referes to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Ahmed or Muhammad meaning the one who praises or the praised one is almost the translation
of the rnGreek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word Comforter
is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind
friend rather than a comforter. rnParacletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh)
actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh)
who is a mercy for all creatures.rnSome Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these
prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that
only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that thernHoly Spirit
was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth,
and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

john 16:14 is explosive. That the hidden mysteries can be revealed to me through the Holy spirit is so exciting to me. That means i can know the true riches that Christ has for me, and i can enter my inheritance. A.T.Okupe-

Obviously, through the gift of the holy gohst, in prayer through the gosple of jesus christ, and faith on an answer, we can than learn or recieve personal revelation and guidance from our heavenly and loving father as to what he wills us to do in any sittuation wither wecan than bring ourselves and his other beloved children to eternal happiness with him and his first son

It is a wonderfull passage we are not orphans we have a DADY walking with us, and the way that HE teach us is through his BIBLE other wise why HE took so much time and so many people to wrote this book ? so I rather choose to be lead by the word of this book than voices of my head even more we need to be clean in order to discern wich voice is from GOD and wich is not. And the only thing the GOD use to clean us, is scripture his written word as JESUS said you are clean by the word that I spoke unto you. then we must keep reading what JESUS said in order to be clean.
