I love this Bible.

John teaches me that Jesus and his Father are one in the same. I had a tendency to separate the Two and John has given me clarity on this.

It means that the disciples was so caught up in bodily food they could not understand spiritually. They were carnal (understanding more fleshly than spiritual)

It is amazing the way God thinks or view things, his thoughts are certainly higher than ours and his ways are different. In the end it proves all of us want to feel a sense of belonging and to know that somebody loves us. Jesus is our greatest example; if we follow him we are set.

I just love the Lord.Though he is a GOD of wrath he is a GOD of LOVE,PATIENCE,LONGSUFFERING,TENDER MERCIES,N SALVATION though we make it hard for ourselves through disobedience n have to suffer hard tribulations,we know that God loves us because he first showed us his love by what he has done for us through his SON JESUS CHRIST.GOD loves us so much that he suffered his own son for us,sinners like u n me.What a love that is in GOD for us?!!!How can we ever repay him?In all that he did he only ask us to worship n obey him.Dont u think that is our reasonable service to him?"HELP US LORD!!!"

thirst that was satified with believe, not for now; but forever.
Rene's comment about verse 24 on 12/07/2011, 2:37am...
i believe it means that worship is a STATE OF BEING and not a boring physical ceremony which is performed every once in a while (Saturday?, Sunday?)inside a building (church, TEMPLE, TABERNACLE, WHAT HAVE YOU). Worship means submission and you get into that mode once you submit your all to the Lord Jesus Christ. Worship starts at salvation and is supposed to be eternal. You miss the point entirely if you think you're going to church to worship. God does not live there any more! He has transferred residence. He now lives in you. You don't go to church to worship. you go to church because you already are in a worship mood. No need to get your emotions up with special numbers and other ceremonial things done in the temple. Ever notice that there is no command in the new testament that enjoins the christian to worship? Only the devil was told "thou shalt worship the Lord they God". it would be redundant for the writers to be telling the christian to do something they are already immersed in. we come to church for a different purpose, and that is, " not to forget the assembling of ourselves together" so we can take care of one another's burdens, physical or spiritual

Jacob's well! (and living in Connecticut, nô doubt). The woman is reminding Jesus who she thinks is Jewish, that Samaria is the original Holy land where dwelt the patriarch,
And that the tribe occupying Jerusalem have hijacked the Pentateuch for political and expansionist purposes - aided by the Romans of course. Things haven't changed much over the centuries have they? But perhaps we need "Jacob's Ladder" to show us the reality behind this story

42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard [him] ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, " the Saviour " of the world.

Hal Britton's comment about verse 7 on 4/01/2011, 8:08pm...
This is most likely my favorite scripture. Having gone through a divorce myself, this scripture proves that a divorced man,(woman) can serve God. The disciples had been with Jesus, what?, two months, one year, two years or maybe even three, regardless they went into town and brought back food. The Samaritan spent ten minutes (?) with Jesus, went into town, overflowed the living water and came back with, not food, but people hungry for a drink from the living well - Jesus Christ.

Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again.
This is a great verse!!!!!

I have read this book countless times, but reading chapter 4 again the HOLY SPIRIT has revealed so much incites and interpretation that it's like I have just read it for the first time. AMAZING!!!!!!!

The named of my God is Jesus Christ. This named was not brought by mother's Mary. Through his announcements/characteristics of what is God is to be watch of to believe. These are the writing of the prophets/apostles to believe. No. 1. Num. 23:19 God is not a man, neither the son of man. 2. Hoses 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 hat seen God at any time. 5. Jh. 3:6 Which is born of the flesh is flesh, born of the Spirit is Spirit. 6. Jh. 4:24 God is a Spirit. 7. I Tim. 1:17 God is immortal, invisible. 8. James 1:17 God is no variableness. For these reason my God is purely Spirit without flesh and bones.

This scripture is key to understanding the bible.
We must worship God with spirit & truth! In order for our faith to be true to god it must be totally truthful.. remember what the apostle Paul said- Do you not know that a little leaven ferments the whole lump?
The bible speaks of babylon the great in Revelation. It was a great city dedicated to hundreds of false religious worship alacart...
What we see today in many religions is a counterfit belief system that incorporates many aspects of babylonish and Pagan teachings and philosophies of man. Such as CHRISTMAS, EASTER, THE TRINITY, HELLFIRE, IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL....to mention a few.....All of these teachings are false or counterfeit. If you dont believe me just do your own research on all of these subjects and see for yourself....The truth will set you free!!

lorie, Jesus is speaking of the work He was to do. If you cross reference Luke 2:49, and Luke 4:4 it will give you a better understanding of what Jesus is speaking of.

wonder what jesus was talking about in verse 34
Dan Fine's comment on 6/13/2010, 12:31pm...
I appreciated the comment above from the anonymous person regarding God not being simply a spirit. He has a perfected body of flesh and bones.
Louis Wilbanks's comment on 4/29/2010, 12:08pm...
Jn. 4:15 "That I thrist not"......... It a-maze's me how long one can go looking to get something for nothing, here is a person who has a desire to have nothing once she attains something to give her something out of nothing. " Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not", Most people ( by permission ) don't appreciate the power of thrist. No I would have this thirst, because thirst gives me disire, and desire give me direction. Not all thrist is giving by the Spirit of the Father, there is a thrist this woman has ( if you get by the thought of living water ) that ask'ed her to want something for nothing. I believe not ! It's not need full for the anoited one to take a-way difficulty, but to allow me the to thrist. No rev. this time, just.... Louis wilbanks, Jacksonville, Fla.

God is A spirit, therefore he is a being as we are created in his image. Human beings are a reflection of God, in order to have an image there would have to be a form or a being to reflect. God has a form He is not just simply spirit as the new versions are printing.
Louis Wilbanks's comment about verse 11 on 2/27/2010, 9:47am...
To me, the point of emotions or narture of the soul looking to Christ for comfort, instead of comfort remaindering tthat Jesus is the almighty. He our saviour is working on from above our very deep down problems. He will move to power down mighty mjght.Let us remember that He does not need us to doubt and ask how? But say, thanks.
