Matthew Chapter 10 Discussion Page 11

This scripture is one of the most stirring of all, it clearly saith the god spirit can speak through us, does it mean just to empower us in speaking for the gospel , or to give us knowledge not of our own, or even to speck to our spirit without using language at all ? Direct to our spirit !

He is telling them how to deliver his message and what to expect. Some people will love hearing it they will ask you to dinner so eat with them and stay there while your in the city. Bless those who love to hear his word and when they don 't shake it off and move on. It will be those people who never learn about Jesus and pay the worse price of all. People will judge you and speak against you. Some will even try to use the laws to have you judged. Those closest to you will be the first one to tell you about the times you failed. They will use that to reject him. It won 't be easy. It will be a constant fight to bring others to him.

verse 21 "And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. " View it as enlisting to be a christian soldier. The wife and children will beg the husband and father not to enlist. Stay home and be with the family. A brother will say, "Stay out of harms way, do not enlist ". But if the man listens to his family and does not enlist if he does not stand firm in his beliefs of what is right and fight for them, then all his family including himself, will perish when evil men attack. One must affirm, "Thy will be done, " and allow God 's love to flow by being positive and constructive. Nothing is higher than Gods loving care, all must work together for truth and good.

I like reading Matthew chapter 10, we can applied this chapter to our daily walk with God and his precious son Jesus Christ, God has given us that same power, that no matter what we might be going through, we are able to heal the sick, raised the dead, if we have Faith and believe, that what ever we ask in Jesus name it shall be done unto, Hallelujah, praise God, remember that God is the I Am Dahlia

I lost a companion.to not willfully ending their life..it wasenttheir self .. it was a force of "fear " itself.. she feared God cause she was a good person .. In her last text message to.me she stated " I 'm Lost " however the son.of God came to seek.and to.save those who are lost.. amen ! I.believe she is in the heart of Jesus and being loved with a greater Love than any of us can comprehend ...

Re Paul vs 34 35. It helps to remember Jesus is speaking all these words in this chapter to his disciples that were going out to preach. They would be terribly misunderstood and friends and family would turn their backs on them, for the gospel 's sake. This still happens today when people accept Jesus ' lowly teachings.

Jesus ' comments here are better understood when read in the context that he was sending out his first group of apostles to preach. Since they were departing from the religious establishment he was warning them they would be hates and persecuted even by their own families. This chapter therefore to me foretells what would happen in the "name of christianity ". Even today we know of many who were rejected by their families because they chose the lowly way of Jesus instead of man made religion, my mother being one.

Fear not him that can kill the body and nothe the soul, but rather fear Him who can distroy both body and soul in hell. Fear has been the most most of many ' downfall. Fear has deprived the rewords of many in the name of human laws and traditions. But our Master is reminding us today Fear Not . Stay blest. i love you all

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law... " Historically, more people have been killed in the name of religion than in any other cause. The peace that religion teaches serves to hide violence. This is the substance for weak and sick minds. Rest peacefully on this if you must.

We should be concerned to strictly follow the words of out lord Jesus with care !

We should be concerned to strictly follow the words of our lord Jesus with care !

I really like this

what way are we to understand these strong words of Jesus

Am actually seeking to relate the lost sheep of the house of Israel to todays context I want to believe that the lost sheep of the house of Israel refers to backsliding Christians or Christians by religion Christians that is not developing faith by the word Thanks

Amen Nora be faithful to Jesus He is coming back

Pat My understanding is that Jesus must be rejected by the house of Israel before the gospel could be preached to the Samaritans and Gentiles

re 5 I wonder why the Samaritans and Gentiles are discriminated against

All scripture are inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
We should obey the comandement of God to pray for the sick .

It could also mean that the enemy could be within the temple of God the body.Rom7:16-17

The word of God in Matthew 10:28 is awesome.Now I
understand the devil has no power to send people to hell.The Lord has the ultimate power over our lives.I am so happy!Praise the Lord!!

It breaks my heart to admit this is true,sometimes your family can become your worst enemy,for example my get jelous when God blesses me so do all sort of things to hurt me and they try by all means to destroy me,

Dear Paul, Verses 34&35 do not mean it literally. It means that even in a family, Not all family members will believe in Jesus. A brother could believe wholly in Jesus, but his sister does not believe. They will have different ideas.

Only God has the power of permanent and eternal destruction. Humans or devils can only kill tempoarily because of the two ressurrections. Do not fear them because the frist death is tempoary but fear God because tbe second death is eternal. Do not fear them because they cannot destroy the self; but fear God because he can destroy spirit, soul; and body eternally.

What a stupid statement Nora. Islam did not even exist like 400 years after the death of Christ.

Many people vehemently oppose the Gospel. There are many times when someone becomes a Christian their friends and sometimes even family will mock them. In muslim countries, people have even turned over their own family members who are then imprisoned for becoming a Christian.

Matthew 10 verse 34 and 35 can someone help to explain these to me

It is rather sad that one's own family members would be their enemies, but I understand this to be true. Even more, I think it is important that all understand that the "household" does not solely mean those that live under the same roof (whether immediate or extended family members)but also those that are closest to you.
