  • Valerie on Matthew 4 - 3 years ago
    I wasn't sure rather to post but my heart is telling me to. I just want to pray for all of us in this time when the world has changed 360 degrees. Who knows, may be it is Yah/Elohim way of trying to get the attention of HIS children. I just feel like praying right now for all of us. Dear heavenly FATHER ELOHIM the GOD of Abraham Isaac and Israel, we come before you to praise and glorify your mighty name. How amazing art thou Holy Name Yah who gives strength to the weak and strengthen the feeble knees. We thank you and give you all the glory and praise. We are not going to fear anything, because we are powerful and made wondrously in your image. No evil can touch your children, because we are covered by your son's blood Christ Jesus (Yeshua). We will not fear what man can you to the body, because man is made of dust, and at the end of the day it will wither and fade away like grass on a hot day. Father Yahweh, we thank you for grabbing our hands in times of trouble. our joy shall come in the morning. Let not our hearts be weary norr fret over the things of this world, but let us put our trust in you. Lord God, there maybe tears or feelings of hurt or loss of a love one, but we know that you will comfort each and one of us, because you are an amazing God, There is none like you. We are the light of this world and you are our leader, not the shadow people that hides running the world. We know that you are in control Yah. Satan knows its time is is, and the lake of fire is waiting for it. With that said, we asked that you send the comforter to each and one of us worldwide. We know that you will never leave nor forsake us. We trust you and have faith in you even when things starts or is looking not good. You are mighty GOD, a strong GOD, a loving GOD, and Forgiving GOD, and your mercy and grace endureth forever. Jesus Christ (Yeshua) think you for healing, teaching, feeding with food and the word of Elohim. Let all God's people say Shalom / PEACE

    In the world we live in there seems to be a lot of questions about SSA - same sex attraction. You look at the old testament and God destroyed a city called Sodom and Gamorah. But then, now there are laws that allow people to get married of the same sex. But yet there are also people that struggle with SSA. What kind of scriptures can we use in this?

    Thank you and God Bless you.

    Bonnie, "... them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up" I believe should be read this way:

    ... them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.

    I think the comma after death separates the thought that those who lived in the region were under the shadow of death until Jesus came there. When he did, light sprung up.
  • Fasting - In Reply on Matthew 4:1 - 3 years ago
    I believe he was tempted after. He was at his weakest. The Bible says he hungered (not thirst). He drank water.

    Humans generally need water every 3 days. The kidneys shut down first.

    The angels ministered to Jesus after his confrontation with satan,

  • Chris - In Reply on Matthew 4:1 - 3 years ago
    I can't be give a specific answer to your questions, but as I've read that passage, it seems that during the forty days & nights that Jesus was in the wilderness, He would have become increasingly hungry - as any man would be. He would have drunk water in the interim as the body cannot survive without it. And it could have been that during those forty days that Satan approached him with the first test of turning the stones into bread to satisfy that extreme hunger, or it might have been at the end of the fast (which I tend to support).

    There is too little narrative about this part of Jesus' time in the wilderness, as the focus no doubt, is on His thwarting of Satan's thrusts against Him to cause sin to enter Him. Had Jesus failed here, He would have been disqualified to be our Saviour, & God had no other means to fully meet the payment of our sins & our acceptability to Him. Jesus withstood Satan, not regarding his own needs, all for our sake. Even while on the Cross (the last & greatest attempt by Satan for Jesus to spare Himself from further suffering & death), Jesus remained resolute in His Calling, as Hebrews 12:2 says in part, "for the joy that was set before him (He) endured the cross, despising the shame". All for the love for those who put their faith in God through His death.

    was Jesus tempted after 40days or duri.g 40 days?... Was he hungry after 40 days or during and after 40 days.

  • Elvamae Greene on Matthew 4:4 - 3 years ago
    Jehova said to my Lord, should we not forget that GOD is GOD all by Himself, not by them self but rather Himself- meaning one GOD. HE is always One, however He is the Mysterious ONE. who choose to Present or Manifest Himself as Father Son and Holy Spirit. but is still the One LORD, who said to my LORD.

    the way and the ways of God is not our way and ways. and the way and the ways of man kind is not the Lord way.

    so we should come to the knowledge that many recorded information in the scripture are not for your comprehension

    yours is just to believe.

    What is considered as works? In James 2:14-26 it says that faith without works is dead. What can I do that's counted as works? If this is already told in the Bible, then please tell me the verses. I have not read the entire Bible yet.

  • Stephen on Matthew 4:4 - 3 years ago
    James 5:14, 15 MERLENE this comment is for you. REFERENCE kjv study bible. James 5:14 at the bottom of the study bible in the explanation there are a few references. One of the old testament names of GOD is yahweh-rapha meaning "The Lord That Heals You; ex.15:26 God heals by preserving health Deut8:4 , Advising good nutritional habits and a good lifestyle(ex: 15:26, Leviticus 11,12-14. Through the application of medical treatment Leviticus 5:14. Forgiveness of disease causing sin(num:12:13). and the prayer of faith 5:15(numbers) Some diseases experienced by christians today could be prevented by trusting GOD as Yahweh-Rapha, and allowing him to deal with those things in their lives causing stress anger and worry. (first reference: ex 15:26, James 5:14-16, Math 19:14) There is a reference in one of the old testament passages to a certain type of oil, one of the passages i listed. ... however i recently came upon this information looking for healing myself. i can tell you its very detailed in the kjv study bible in the descriptions at the bottom and it has helped me to find more information. The study bible and the description at the bottom has helped me to learn way more. I hope this helps. also id like you to know that some of what you see in the old testament scriptures i quoted dosnt or wont neccessarily apply to you as the situation is different from me to your ordeal i believe. however the information is there and was helpful to me. Most people think the OLD testament is NO MORE since Christ died on the cross. They are mistaken. God didnt come to abolish the laws of moses. only the partition between the jews and gentiles. Hope this helps.

    On JOB 42:6

    The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).

    The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting, repentings) is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.

    It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

    For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

    You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), as mankind follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).

    It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1), and only then will you be able to overcome the spirit of this world ( 1 John 5:4; Rev. 3:21) and learn what 'True Repentance' means, and how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9). It should also be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).

    LUKE 15:10. LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH.
  • Toni - In Reply on Matthew 4:4 - 3 years ago
    No we are not in the tribulation, but the rapture could take place any second! There are no other significant events in the bible required to occur before for rapture of the true church, the bride of Christ. The bible gives clear examples of God's people being taken out before great destruction takes place (ex. Sodom and Gomorrah & The Great Flood of Noah, and uses these as a comparison to our current situation).
  • Stanjett - In Reply on Matthew 4:24 - 4 years ago

  • Bendito Palavra - In Reply on Matthew 4:4 - 4 years ago
    We are not yet in the great tribulation, but look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. ( Luke 21:28)

    "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." ( 2 Timothy 3:1-7)

    Remember Jesus' words: "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." ( John 16:33)

    Matthew 4:6.

    Lahniya McKithen is looking for a better understanding of Matthew 4:6.

    The word 'lest' means 'in order that you not'. An example of lest is when you bring an umbrella in order to avoid getting wet.

    It means: with the intention of preventing something undesirable to avoid the risk of something.

    In Matthew 4:6 it meant that angels would protect Christ that He would not hurt his feet against a stone.

  • The Temptation of Jesus by Satan - In Reply on Matthew 4:6 - 4 years ago
    And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

    Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

    This is the chapter of Jesus after his baptism he fasted for 40 days and nights. Satan is out there tempting him.

    Jesus is showing us WHO the tempter is: he uses lies, he offered to give kingdoms of the world to THE CREATOR of the world. Satan can only create chaosas we have seen in our American cities recently.

    Also, Jesus is demonstrating TO US how to react to spiritual attacks on us, our loved ones. Ephesians 6, shows us how to fight back against spiritual warfare also.

    Jesus wants us to learn this, AND teach it to other Christians. Jesus did not leave us here defenseless.

    Like I did some time back: Follow Jesus through scripture and SEE how he does things; what he said, how he preached the Gospel. How he fought back at the demons and the religious people who had no knowledge of WHO Jesus is!

    We're not just saved to sit around in wedding apparel. We have to have our Armor over it too. Be ready for anything.

  • Chris - In Reply on Matthew 4 - 4 years ago
    Jim, the accepting of God's Word in its entirety as Truth, is paramount, not only for the way of salvation but the way we live in this life. However, I seem to read the Genesis 3 account differently to what you have written.
  • Jim on Matthew 4 - 4 years ago
    God preordained his son ,Jesus Christ disciples. The first Adam couldn't stop lying, when God ask him why was he and eve hiding, and Adam told God that they was ashamed because they were naked. God ask him who told you that you were naked?Adam reply was its that woman you gave me. When it was him God left in charge. We are all filthy lairs, Jesus fought suffered and died, so that we might have a chance at the tree of life. Jesus the second Adam that came from 42 generations to save Jews and gentiles if they were to accept Jesus as their Lord and savior; let's all be very careful in accepting the word of God as the truth and nothing else but the truth. In reference to Matthew 4
  • Sunday Levinus Alaka on Matthew 4:4 - 4 years ago
    This verse is seen to demonstrate that Jesus does not make the same mistake they did and accepts that God will ensure his safety. The phrase "man shall not live by bread alone" is today a common expression meaning that people need more than material things to truly live.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Matthew 4:7 - 4 years ago
    Google the Ten Commandments: obey those.
  • Jesse - In Reply on Matthew 4:7 - 4 years ago
    Anthony,

    This would be committing murder with the intent to do so. The word kill in thou shalt not kill is the word murder. There is a difference. If someone breaks into your home in the middle of the night, you have the right to defend yourself and your family. God forbid that ever happen, but in that case, your motive would not be to commit murder but to defend your family. It is the same for those who fight in a war. A person should never enlist in the military if their motive is to go out and kill people. That is what I told my son right before he went into the Marine Corp. I myself am also a 22-year military veteran. If that is their motive, then in their heart that would be considered murder. We see many places in the Old Testament where God sent armies of one nation to go in and wipe out another. God would not say thou shalt not kill and then turn around and command people to kill. You see, it's the motive of the heart. We are not to commit murder out from an evil heart and intent to do so. I hope this makes some sense.
