Luke Chapter 23 Discussion Page 3

I believe this verse Luke 23:24 is incorrect. I believe that it should read: Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

Many times we use the word "day " and even "today " not in a strictly literal 24-hour period of time sense, so I think it is beside the point to argue this my sense is that what Jesus meant by Today was immediately

I would like to urge the seventh day believers to continue with that spirit because God will reward them since more churches have come the good thing they dont intefere with the Lords sabbath according to the law

Kaye God compares it like this I feel that the one on the bed is in the flesh and has sin but that person when in his spirit body didn 't committ sin. God knows us and we were with Him. God knows all and is a good Judge. He knows our hearts.

Jesus come as exchange for our sins. Barabbas was released Jesus crucified without sin

It is the Living Word, the Lord put to death for no reason. I think the people show how insane people are. So awful they watch innocent people die for them, He made the Way To Heaven. Believe in Him.

How do you compare someone who does not live a saved lifestyle and suddenly die but ask Jesus to forgive them on their death bed confess that Jesus is Lord become saved to the man on the cross beside Jesus whom ask Jesus to save him and Jesus did save him by telling him he would be with him Jesus in paradise

To understand Jesus as God on Earth praying to His Father in Heaven, we have to understand the eternal Father, eternal Son,and eternal Holy Spirit, and their eternal relationship as Trinity. Father God, Son God and Holy Spirit God, not three gods but one God existing as three co equal persons always working harmoniously together.Jesus taught us that he and his Father are one John 10 30 . Please also read John 5 19 27 . There is no problem with God the Son praying to God the Father.the eternal relationship was there before Jesus came on earth as a man. His prayers in the garden every night should be an example to us how much we should pray to God Father, through Jesus and full of the Spirit.

If Jesus is God, Who is he praying to on the Cross?

This was a moment of great faith by this man condemned to crucifixion with our Lord. It highlights the fact that anyone at anytime who BELIEVES and has FAITH in Jesus as the Christ...the Son of the Living God...is redeemable. That should be wonderful news to everyone. Blessed are those who believe!

The thief that said this to Jesus, was doing exactly what Romans 10 9 says! He acknowledged who Jesus was, and believed in his heart. He confessed With his mouth! The other thief refused to believe unless The Lord Took Himself off of the cross, and take them down with Him. ......... That would have been nice, wouldn 't it!?! But the thief that believed, Is is Paradise with The Lord, from that day forward! How wonderful that Would be!! Hallelujah!!

you know when someone do something wrong to me I wish that I would remember to say FATHER forgive them for thy know not what they do instead of saying something that I have no business saying, FATHER help me to be more like you.

l observed that Joseph and Mary as a customary manner preparing for the sabbath. Eventually had prepared for the Lords ' resurrection. Is what I find in Luke23 50 56

28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? Why would anyone want to make the words of Christ be for anyone or any purpose other than what he spoke that they meant. When we all know more innocent children have died from abortion than at any time in the history of the world. Jesus knew this day would come and couldn 't die without warning the women of the world of what men would push them to do.

Jesus stated no one takes my life, I lay it down, and if I lay it down I will take it up again. Jesus never lost control, even when He was on the cross. When He decided to give up the ghost was when he died. If I am not mistaken, crucifixion was not instant death. That is seen when we look at the two thieves. Scripture stated none of His bones would be broken. He stayed alive long enough to make sure Mary was taken care of, save the thief next to him, quote scripture, etc. all before the sabbath was upon them. When he gave up the ghost, there was no reason for his legs to be broken. Jesus giving up the ghost signified his dominion over death, even while He was on the cross. The thieves lived longer, therefore, their bones were broken.

I like this bible

On verse 30 and 31 when He says then shall they begin to say on to mountains Fall on us and on hills Cover us He is simply refering to the great tribulation period where unsaved people will suffer the wrath of God then He continues to say if they do those things in green tree what shall be done in dry tree The green tree is the tribulation priod the dry tree is the huge pit of fire in hell where they will burn for ever and ever

The End of the Beginning.

Jesus said "don't weep for me weep for yourselves" because these women were crying, not as believers but because what they saw the condition Jesus was in, it saddened them. Jesus was refering to how much worse it would be for them in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. A slow miserable death that included starvation where some would actually eat there own children, that it would be better if they did not have any children at all or elsewhere He said better to be killed by the sword than starvation. He also referenced judgment day and the suffering they would endure then. Jesus endured great suffering because of these people who rebelled against Him but did not want His blood on their hands. They told the Romans that He claimed to be King of the Jews and that was in direct opposition to their King Caesar. They insisted the Romans condem Him under their law which they knew included the severe form of punishment learned and adopted from the barbarians, crucifition. They would have to endure more than He, so were to weep for themselves. Thank you.

This scripture helps us to see that all the earth will be transformed into a paradise under the rule of Christ as King.

Redemption from sin inherited from the fall, end on the cross and Salvation begins John 3:16. We are commissioned to respect (love) one another.

GOD forgive and protect us all from a perverted and fornicating nation of people who have turned away from there creator.

Jesus said unto thy hands i hand over my spirit before he died. When he died Jesus the Christ and the repented robber promised paradise went straight back to heaven.

@Troy,
“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise”.
Today refers to the very moment Jesus was speaking, but the promise of meeting in paradise was only for the future.
Because just in verse 46 of same chapter, “Jesus gave up the ghost” meaning he died. And could only come back to life three days and three nights later.
So there was no way both could meet in paradise, because both died.
That’s what it says.
God bless you.

Luke 23:43, And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. What is the meaning of this verse: How would I be able to teach this verse in bible study.

My opinion in this, about the green and dry tree is this; in Matthew 19:3-12, some Pharisees approached him to test him, they asked; is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds. Verse 4, haven’t you read, he replied that he who created them in the beginning, made them male and female. Verse 5, he also said: for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. Verse 6, so they are no longer two but one flesh, therefore what God has joined together man must not separate. Verse 7, why then, they ask him did Moses command us to give divorce papers, and to send her away. Verse 8, he told them, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts, but it was not like that from the beginning: Verse 9, and I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except, for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery. Verse 10, his disciples said to him, if the relationship of a man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry. Verse 11, but he told them, not everyone can accept this saying? But only those it has been given to. Verse 12, for there are eunuchs, who were born that way from their mothers’ womb, there are eunuchs who were made by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way because of the kingdom of heaven, let anyone accept this who can. In Luke 23-27-29, the women were following Jesus as he was going to the cross they were mourning and lamenting him but turning to them, Jesus said daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and your children. Verse 29, look, the days are coming when they say, blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed; Isaiah said in 54:1-rejoice oh barren one, you who have not been in labor, for the children of the forsaken one will be more than the children of the married woman, says the Lord. Geneses 3:16, he said to the woman: I will intensify your labor pains: you will bear children: in Isaiah 56:3, no foreigner who has converted to the Lord should say, the Lord will exclude me from his people, and the eunuch should not say look, I am a dried up tree. Look on verses 4, I will give them, in my house and within my walls, a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters, I will give them a forever lasting name, this my thought on Luke 23:31. Jesus is talking about a woman, or man that can’t produce of their seed, if a women has children, she is fruitful green tree if not she could be a dry tree; or a eunuch can’t produce some eunuchs. When some men decide not to marry could be considered? God bless you women and men that can bear this.

@Susan Dalton,
1. War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!
2. It has been said that war is God's judgment of sin here on earth and hell (not Hades) is God's judgment of sin hereafter;
3. War and violence will be continuous on earth until the prince of peace stops it after the white throne judgment ( Revelation 20:15) when eternity begins.

@ Wilsom Mungai,
1. The time of salvation is the moment a person calls upon and receives the lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior ( Romans 10:9-13);
2. Easter is a Babylonian pagan ritual from the pagan Astaroth ( Deuteronomy 1:4);
3. A bible believing Christian should never refer to the resurrection day as Easter;
4. My question is what does the rabbit and egg have to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

@James,
The righteous are remembered at the moment of salvation ( 2 Corinthians 6:2), just as we are known by God at the moment of conception ( Jeremiah 1:5).

Truth is independent of opinion and by its definition, it is intolerant of error. Notice the way the malefactor; Lord remember me when you come in your kingdom, which shows that he(thief) understood how the righteous are saved according to Jesus teachings. So righteous people are remembered at the Second Advent, not at the point of their death. It is therefore good to suit an individual's opinion as many do. If the scripture is read without a prayerful and humble heart, the simplest passage can be misunderstood. I thank of you people who have decided to carefully search the scriptures in prayer and humility. 2 Peter 3:15-18.
