Matthew Chapter 1 Discussion Page 28

the KING JAMES BIBLE is truly GODS word given to us from his disiples and man has tryied to move,has changed,rewrote,and tryied to confuse people by using others to lead them astray inmany different ways and churches. you must know that man cannot live on bread alone, they must have JESUS in their everyday life as their leader, guide,savior, and their rock and until you submit to him you will be in confusion for eternity, and one day every knee will bow and every tounge shall confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD will you be praising him or asking mountains to fall on you. may the HOLY SPIRIT work in your lives to keep you on the straight and norrow.

rightly so, the same spirit that was in Mary is in us also, so why arnt we filled with the joy the early christian add.....

I THINK THE BIBLE SAID THAT,TO SHOW THAT DAVID AND ABRAHAM ARE ANCESTORS OF JESUS. I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE FAITH AND STOP CONFUSING OUR SELVES.THANK U GOD BLESS ALL.

I wish to correct a misunderstanding of Clif. There is a difference between a spirit and ghost. Every human has a spirit, just as Jesus did. However, when Jesus died on the cross, He gave up the ghost. A ghost is a spirit from one who has died. When all the new perverted bible versions changed what the KJV properly translated as Holy Ghost, into Holy Spirit, is a cleaver way of denying the death of Jesus, and is not scripturally correct.

i just love the Lord, and reading this has just helped me to find the right path, and trust in God even more.

To Cathy: Holy Ghost is another way of saying holy spirit, since a ghost is a spirit. It's like saying Dad and Father. The scripture is not wrong, it's that sometimes we modern readers need to understand more about how the English language was spoken and written in 1611. You can tell in reading this portion of scripture that English has changed somewhat over the last 400 years! However, to the people of 1611, "Holy Ghost" meant what we mean today when we say "Holy Spirit".

And to Mark:
Jesus was said to be the Son of David because he was of the lineage of David, in other words in David's family. Sort of like Scottish people who trace their family lines through names of the various clans, like Stewart, Shaw, Douglas, etc. Today we use last names to give indication of one's family tree. He was also a son of Abraham, meaning of the lineage of Abraham as well. The ancient Hebrew people traced their families by who their forbears were, by giving the name of a patriarch to whose branch of family they belonged. When reading Matthew's account of the lineage of Jesus, you see both Abraham and King David are prominently mentioned. By the way, "begat" means essentially, "had a child named".
I hope this clears it up a bit, and I hope you enjoy further reading the Bible, and that you gain even greater understanding of the times of Jesus and the history of the Jewish people.

I just want to say that Our Lord Jesus was not made by Holy Goust, it was holy spirit. And I dont know from where you have this bible but i know something for real that this bible is wrong.

the first line reads (roughly): "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham." If I didn't know about Joseph & Mary, I would assume Jesus's father was named David. This page does nothing to educate me further about who David and Abraham are... no offense, I assume you mean well.

IN EVERY THING U DO PUT GOD FRIST

GOD IS GOOD..honestly i am starting to get in my word and understand so with a little help i know i will understand son..

"Joseph being a just man" I pray to God he teaches me and everyone to be "just"..Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness...Kathy and Charlotte you have chosen the right path by seeking God in your Situation and what better place to start from than the first book that to talk about the good news.

I am just finding my way back to the Lord. I have been lost for a long time, and I need the Lord back in my life. Reading the bible is the first step in getting my life back on track, although i have a hard time understanding it. Matthew 1 is the best place for me to start reading in my quest and search for God in my life. I plan on reading a chapter a day. I hope that you will pray for me so that i can find the Lord again and get my life back on track.

i just recently lost someone dear to me. he was my ex. i relized how much i need the lored god in my life. i accept any and all prayers i can get for strength to go on. thank u

the orginal BIBLE was written in hebrew, roman, ( the new testament) the old testament was written in other langages as well. IESUS-LATIN-is not the orginal language of the Hebrew. YESHUA-HEBREW- was the orginal BIBLE word for JESUS. It is sad that so many people care more about the language than the meaning of what and why JESUS came. There are 1000's of languages in the world today, and always has been. JESUS is said and spelled different in almost every on of them.Our HEAVENLY FATHER knows what we mean and that is all that maters. STUDY TO SHOW YOUR SELF APPROVED GLENDA

Hi JoJu David,

The name Iesus is Latin, where as Jesus is English.

Back in 1611, the English language used more Latin words. The language has developed quite a bit from then to today. For more info, go to the home page and click on the 400th anniversary link. It gives more info on the language.

Dear Sir,
I was happened to see one video in youtube, ware I found one gentlemen was talking about king James 1611 Holly bible, that there is a manipulation done with the name iesus to Jesus. I want to know about this matter can you pls help me with salving my doubts with this.
Waiting for your answer
With regards
Joju David.

I thind Matthew was a profet of God and he did what God commanded him to do and he did so and I have nothing to reject about him but to all these people that make question doubting in the words. Pray to God all the time because satan is very strong and is looking for to destroy human kind just look around yourselves and see God is there thank him for what he gave us all time. Believe on him and you will not have doubt in those profets. Do not have doubt in your hearts God is perfect and his profets too. The bible is also perfect.

How could the Holy Spirit make Mary pregnant? Luke 1:35 has some more explanation. Further, I suppose the process was a spiritual principle that God uses repeatedly. The creation of our world was an idea of God, which He spoke into being. For God's purpose to be fulfilled in humankind, I notice, there is usually a human statement of agreement required; i.e. with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. In the conception of Mary specifically, the angel Gabriel spoke this act of God and Mary confirmed it for completion (see Luke 1:31 & 38). If God could breathe the life of humanity into a full grown man (Adam), surely he could fertilize an egg without a human father. 1 Cor. 15:45 says the first Adam was made a living soul (being), the last Adam was made a quickening (life giving) spirit. The life element in this transaction was the WORD aspect of God becomming human flesh ( John 1:14).

I know the "begats" is rather tedious to get through but it is interesting that every fourteen generations, something significant happens. So my question, what is next on the calendar? I believe it will be the Rapture of the bloodbought church.

AGain, Prov. 8 is WISDOM personified. God created ALL things including Wisdom, Love and everything else. Like all else given unto man, Wisdom can be used for the good and for the bad if unused. The Chapter refers to the GOOD WISDOM, not the wisdom of the wise monkey.

Matthew holds many things within its pages. Most important it tells a story of child who came into this world to die for our sins. No man has, is, or will ever be The man how died for my sin except my personal savior Jesus Christ. I love him with all my heart and i think him for alowing Matthew a brother in christ to begin telling us the story of the son of man. I praise God that story has yet to come to an end until that day when i see him face to face, toach his nail scared hand, and get on my knees and worship the man who gave his life for someone like me.

I LOVE TO READ THE BOOK OF MATTHEWS IT TELL ALL THE GOODNESS OF JESUS AND IS MOTHER MARY AND ALSO HOW HE DIED FOR OURS SINS WE SHOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST DID

Hi Glenda, I suppose you are saying that Jesus' baptism depicted the trinity or a triune God. Gen. 1:26 is clarified with Gen 1:27. So God made man in His OWN image. There is but one God in the whole Bible and His name is Jesus. Is.45:1-25, more specifically, 45:18 tells you that there is one God and there is none else. When studying the scriptures you can't use
e scripture to point out a fact. Is. 28:9-10,"Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts.

10 For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:

Jesus IS the Father in creation,(John1:1-14), Son in redemption, and the Holy Ghost in regeneration.

I disagree your comment that my writing is in a logic way, because it is clearly stated and supported with verses of the bible. They are the writings of the prophets and apostles of what is the characteristics of God or what he is to be watch of to believe. In John 1:1- the word was with God. Yes, do not limit the power of our God. Did you know through his word the universe was created. So, the word was with God. John 1:14- the word was made flesh. In your owned understanding the son delivered by Mary's is God?. In Mat 1:21- Mary's bring forth a son name Jesus and not the named Jesus Christ. The word Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God - 1 Cor. 1:24. No human being bring forth the power / wisdom. Acts 2:36- God made Jesus both Lord and Christ. If your understanding in Mat. 1:21- Mary's is the mother of God, all the characteristics numbers 1 to 8 contradict to your conclusion. Luk. 3:22- is same to Mat. 3:16-17-These verses are literally spoken. These verses was not talking of what is God is?. Easy to understood that all person baptized by John the Baptist only Jesus has the Holy Spirit descended from heaven like a dove upon him. Gen. 1:26- God is alone because in the old testament, many verses we can read God is one. One verses to sight in Zechariah 14:9. In the new testament/Good news God is only one in John 10:30.

Matt Chapter1 is a wonder exsample of joseph allowing Gods will to be done in his life. He not only considered Mary shame but he allowed God to work the alsome miracle of the birth of his very on son Jesus Christ.who later became the savior of the world. what a exsample for us to say not my will but Gods will be done in our lives.

THE TRUE FAITH THAT MARY AND JOSEPH HAD IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE FOR US TODAY. WHO TODAY WOULD PUT THEIR LIVES AND PHYICAL NEEDS ON HOLD FOR YEARS FOR A CHILD? TODAY WHEN PEOPLE ARE KILLING THEIR UNBORN CHILDREN BECAUSE IT IS TO MUCH TROUBLE OR, TAKES ATTENTION OFF OF ME. (ME IS UM) HAS DISTROYED MANY INISANT LIVES. PUT GOD FIRST LIKE MARY AND JOSEPH DID AND REAP THE REWARDS THERE ARE MANY OF THEM.

Mary and Joseph both exercised great faith. Mary accepted the burden of bearing the child who would be the Messiah, knowing that when she appeared to be pregnant before she and Joseph came together, People would not understand and would assume the worst. Joseph did not understand when Mary returned from three months away at Elisabeth's home and all he knew was that he was not the one responsible. Since he was legally bound to her though the marriage had not been completed, he thought he would quietly divorce her rather than subject her to public shame. When, after the visit by the angel, he accepted the responsibility of being a husband to Mary and an earthly father to the child that she would bear, he accepted her shame as his own. She had done nothing to be ashamed of, for this holy Child was not conceived in the way the rest of us are. But human beings what they are, they must have assumed the worst. Joseph took her as his wife, and let people think what they would. The Bible says that he "knew her not" until the child was weaned. To all appearances, they looked like just another newly married couple. But their marital privileges were not enjoyed until after Jesus was weaned, which might have been a couple of years or more.

GARYLOYD AND JOIE, PLEASE READ LUKE 3: 22 (AND THE HOLY GHOST DESCENDED IN A BODILY SHAPE LIKE A DOVE UPON HIM AND A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, WHICH SAID "THOU ART MY BELOVED SON; IN THEE I AM WELL PLEASED") IN GRNESIS 1:26 GOD SAID "LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE" GOD DID NOT SAY "MY IMAGE" HE SAID "OUR IMAGE" GOD WAS NOT ALONE WHEN HE CREATED EEVERYTHING. ALL THE VERSES YOU BROUGHT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS FROM THE MOSAIC LAW, WE ARE NOW UNDER THE LAW OF GRACE BECAUSE JESUS CAME AND DIED FOR OUR SINS. IN THE 1ST CHAPTER OF EVERY BOOK PAUL WROTE ( BY THE LEADING OF THE HOLY GHOST) HE BEGANS BY PRAISING GOD (WHO HE CALLS FATHER) AND CALLS JESUS CHRIST ( THE SON OF GOD) ROMANS 1:1--5 IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS. CHECK IT OUT,READ TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED. 2 TIM. 2:15

Hi Joie! I read your comment about Matt. 1 and appreciate some of your logic. I think there is another aspect you may want to consider. Our God is awesome and the ultimate of goodness. Humanity obviously has some drastic flaws which separate us from God. There was no human mediator qualified to represent us and restore our relationship with our God. Only a human aspect of God himself could do that. The Bible says, "The Word was God and became flesh,(Juan 1:1-14). If God's life could come into the first man created, he also could come into Mary to create the human Jesus who was the son of God and also the son of Mary. Hope this illustration fits you.

The named of my God is Jesus Christ and was not brought/delivered of a lady or a human being. Because of his announcements and his characteristics of what is God is? No. 1. Num. 23:19 - God is not a man, neither the son of man; 2. Hosea 11:9 - for I am God, and not man; 3. Malachi 3:6 - For I am the Lord, I change not; 4. Jh. 1:18 - No man hath seen God at any time. 5. Juan 3:6 - which is born of the flesh is flesh, born of the Spirit is Spirit; 6. Juan 4:24 - God is a Spirit; 7. I Tim. 1:17 - God is immortal, invisible; 8. James 1:17 - God is no variableness. These are the reasons of my God was not delivered by mother's Mary based of the prophets and spostles saying.
