Matthew Chapter 10 Discussion Page 8

According to the KJV, verse 5 says that the kingdom of heaven is at hand (near) please explain your interpretation of the following: 5-15 "This is not necessary now that the kingdom God is come."?

Thank you for your time.

This is plain about the purpose and cost of discipleship.

Eager to learn more about Matthew in the bible

WOw I'm Super Blessed by that.

In regards to verse 34, we know that only Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and Sword represents the Word of God Ephesians 6:17-18. May be He warns us that because He is the Peace and He is the Word, those that believe in Him shall face persecution, rejection, division, etc. by their own blood relation. But be of good cheer for He has overcome. We can win them to Christ as well!

When we don't know what to say or how to answer when our critics challenge our faith, the Holy Spirit will give us what to say.

I wonder if He meant the Sword of the Holy Spirit.. It fights ,It wins, It gives Insight.. and it has Power.. and so much more the Holy Spirit brings to us and the fight for our Nation and her foes.. It doesn't have to be said in Biblical Terms but it can have power and is stronger than the slickness of Satan..Just like a sharp sword .

God doesnt want us to bless us only but he wants our Soul to be saved. Because of his love and mercy we are saved by his grace. His grace is sufficient enough, he only wants us to accept God and his words and seek the kingdom of God and all of our needs will be added. For God's words is more powerful than a sword. We must need Jesus in every moment of our lives and not only when we need something. We must thank Jesus everyday for everything he has done into our lives. His goodness and mercy will always follow us. God will save his own people for those who love him and keep his commandments. I will trust Jesus forever and praised him forever for he is worthy to be praised. Amen

God bless you Nora be in Christ and also pray for your husband and family to convert in Christianity too. Glory to our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ now and forever more,Amen.

I think,starting with verse 34,that Jesus is saying that we will be hated by some in our own families because of who we are in Christ and that they cannot accept us because some of them will have opposing spirits but we must stand for Him regardless.

I really want to lean bible

If we don 't know "LOVE " we cannot know God! God is "LOVE! " Know Jesus know Peace. No Jesus, no Peace! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Some times what Jesus said can be taken out of context. If you go to The Book of Revelation, the sword is the word, that comes from his mouth. We need to study more,in order to get the correct interpretation.

healing the sick raising the dead and cleansing the lepers and casting out devils are signs of those who believe in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and is evidence that the kingdom of GOD is at hand and that we are under a new covenant of the blood of JESEUS Christ our Lord and redeemer to whom be praise and glory and honor forever amen.

GOD DOES NOT WANT US TO FEAR HIS CREATION MORE THAN HIM,RESPECTING GOD,AND HIS WORD.

Matthew 10:8, We are called to serve the Lord our Great Physician and Redeemer. He has given us his free gift of his spirit Holy Ghost to be healed ourselves and be redeemed through his blood. He calls ALL his disciples to go in the spirit and heal the sick and has given us the same spirit that was in him to cast out devils, raise the dead, heal all manner of diseases in his name Jesus. We can not do it in our own flesh or through our own will, it is ONLY through the Holy Ghost he has freely given us this ability and power to heal and to help others! I know because I am one of his. He has not redeemed us and given us his spirit to just sit on it, but rather we are commissioned to go and use the spirit to reach others and to heal others using that spirit Holy Ghost . Amen

I 'm living proof he is still with us I died over 7 days and now 6 years later here I still am praise the LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!

Yes, evangelist Chatauna Robinson, Acts 2: 38 says when we can receive the Holy Ghost when we can befriend Him. "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. " When we repent, when we get down to the rivers of baptism for the remission of sins. More than stating this to be the condition, this verse helps us to understand the condition of the soul, expected by God if we wish the Holy Ghost to reside in our body. Amen.

The Ezk 1:5 is "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: " and from what you 've said, is this your reasoning for not "being " an "active " believer? I 'm concerned by your post in that you sure have a lot of "If " in your speech. Reminds me of when Jesus was in the wilderness being tempted of the devil. We must all recognize our "free wills " and this does keep evil in this world we live in. I encourage you to look for the GOOD around you because it exists too.

GOD 'S NOT DEAD!

" I invite you to 1 first pray to the Heavenly Father "in Jesus ' name " and ask Him to send you His Holy Spirit to guide you then 2 as you study, focus on the positives, i.e. what a child of God should be doing feeling thinking. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to be like Jesus when most of your focus is on evil.

Love this site

God really cares about you

I am trying to understand how to LIVE MY LIFE? IF God is LIKE a lamb on the Throne all Mighty and Powerful as creator and ONE God in divinity. If he knows of sparrows least of these creatures? With all deceivers deceptions allowing Men violently KILL and Destroy! ISIL worst, along with all other mayhem going on in world. I see his nature slow to anger. Let this happen! Satan ideas live in human nature NOW! from fall Adam. For me turning my life around? trying to DO his will and live FREE the right way! Every time I walk out house I am bombarded with Sin Full Nature it seems. I lost people and judge, I see lost colored and judge, I see Muslim and judge, Not because of appearance! But because I can see right up front they DO NOT understand Jesus, NOR believe, Nor read the Bible Any! All this causes ME to FEAR! I do not want to HATE! But I do not have time to convert or speak to any who would NOT listen and or Care! Isolated and lonely it can feel or I may appear to be from Society? I am trying KNOW of Salvation? What, where, How transformed transfigured? Even corruption with in the Church evil even dwells in some of there minds!!! So that is what is going through my thoughts as I practice and study life behaviorisms by Humans created in his own image! BUT I like EZK...1-5....

life without JESUS CHRIST is totally useless,but with OUR LORD in our life we will have in life of abundant blended with eternity AMEN

I had a life once in seeking my own will : now that I have received Jesus as my Lord and Savior I seek to do His will. It is easy to pray : Not my will but thy will : It is difficult to do : but it can be done. God did not call me into His kingdom to do His will on my own power : But He sent Holy Spirit to help me do His will. Break up your fallow ground and sow not among thorns !!
