Verse 43: "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." There have been many discussions over the years as to where paradise is. First of all, it is a Persian word. That is where the word paradise came from. In the New Testament, not only is it here, but it's also found in 2 Corinthians 12:3 where Paul says that he was caught up in the third heaven into paradise.
And again, in Revelation 2:7, where it is the reward for those overcomers, those that overcome the evil. It is also used in the Greek translation of the Old Testament for the Garden of Eden. It is called PARADISO, paradise, same word! But that doesn't answer the question where is it? Well, right before the term "in paradise" we have the answer. Jesus says you will be with "me" in paradise.
Wherever Jesus is, it is paradise. Where was Jesus that day or that night or the next day? Wherever Jesus was, the thief on the cross was with Him, and that's paradise.
In Luke 23:39-43, we see the promise to the thief on the cross.
(Part 1 of 2):
Verse 39: "And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us." So, one of the malefactors which were hanged, (remember there is one on each side of Jesus), railed on him, blasphemed Him, saying, If you be Christ, save yourself and us.
Now look at the different approaches to Jesus:
If it's true who you say you are, and who some people think you are, then use your authority and power. Not only get yourself down off the cross, but get us down off the cross too. They wanted to save their own skin. We don't want to die for our crimes. Get us down. That's one approach to Jesus.
Verse 40: But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
Verse 41: "And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss."
The Greek word for "nothing amiss" means He's done nothing out of place. He has done everything perfectly! So, one thief says get us down, we want our freedom back, so we can go back and commit more crimes. The other thief says we are getting what we deserve. So why are you speaking that way against Him? Don't you fear God? You can see the difference between the two.
Verse 42: "And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." Now that is all he said. There is no sinner's prayer. But what he is doing, he's doing just based on the Lord's mercy. You know, Lord, remember me, that is all I ask when you come into your Kingdom!
In the books of the New Testament is there any passages by Jesus that negates the Old Testament laws about what foods are clean or unclean that we can or can't eat???
The Word of God teaches us in 1 Cor. 2:14 that the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned.
This is why those communicating their messages in this 'forum' so often use the word 'discerning' while the 'Word of God' is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). This is why it also teaches; that anyone that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man ( 1 Cor. 2:15).
Please remember, the words from the 'Word of God' are according to the 'Spirit of Truth' ( John 14:17). Furthermore, the Spirit of truth cannot be received by this world ( John 14:17) as this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9).
May we suggest you search the words 'a world deceived' an learn how you may know the difference between the 'natural' and the 'spiritual' body ( 1 Cor. 15:44) and how and by whom this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9).
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).
It is God's will for all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth ( 1 Timothy 2:4), but not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven ( Matthew 7:21).
Many will say unto me that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? ( Matthew 7:22).
And then will I profess unto them I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity ( Matthew 7:23). If you would like to know who by nature your Father is, may we suggest you read John 8::43-45.
Page 2. The word (intimate) means a familiar friend, companion, or guest, one who has close social relations with another or others. (So as we can see there is nothing negative about those who are (taken) but it is very positive! Col 3:4 Tells us "When Christ who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye appear with him in glory. (Those who are (taken) will appear with Him in glory. Now a look at the same event told in the book of Luke. Lu 17:34-37 v.36 Tells us "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be (taken), and the other left. The word (taken) here has the same meaning, remember a familiar friend, it even tells us in the meaning "to assume an office" If those taken were taken for judgment would they be considered a familiar friend? NO they would not! Would they be assuming an office? NO they would not. Now in Lu 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the (body) is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. The word (body) is #4983; it means the body, (as a sound whole) "safe", to save, i.e. deliver or protect, heal, preserve. Does the meaning of the word (body) sound like its going to judgment? Or does it sound more like a familiar friend who is going to assume an office, maybe like the (body of Christ)? Now where will the church be (taken)? Rev 19:7-9 Tell us the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. v.9 Tells us Blessed are they which are (called) unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. Remember the church, the elect are called out, called (forth) to call aloud. That does not sound like a secret rapture! When Jesus returns riding a white horse in Rev 19:11-16 the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean (see Rev 19:14) The wife, the bride of Christ, the church, the elect who were (called) who were at the marriage supper of the Lamb was also clothed in fine linen, clean and white, (see Rev 19:8) and return with Him
Page 1) The church is the body of Christ, we are told this in Eph 1:22-23 The word (church) is #1577; it means a calling out, to "call" aloud, bid, call (forth) (whose sur-) name was called. (So the church, the (body) of Christ will be called out, called (forth) to "call" aloud, that don't sound like a secret rapture does it?). Now in Col 3:12,15 We are told of the (elect) which also ye are (called) in one (body). The word (elect) is #1588; it means select, by implying favorite, chosen, elect, to select, make choice, choose (out) chosen. The word (called) is #2564; it means to "call" a loud, bid, call (forth) whose name was called. (So those who are called out are the elect, His chosen ones whose name He will call out loud.) Mk 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the (elect's) sake, WHOM HE HATH (CHOSEN), he hath shortened the days. The word (chosen) is #1586; it means to select, make choice, choose (out) chosen (The elect are His chosen ones) When will this calling out happen? 1Thes 4:16-17 Tells us the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God, and we will meet Him in the clouds. This would be when the church is called out, the calling aloud of His chosen ones the elect happens. In 1Thes 4:16-17 There are 3 main points to look at. (1) we meet Him (IN THE CLOUDS) (2) a (trumpet sound). (3) a (gathering together). Now look at Mt 24:29-31 We see a (1) (coming in the clouds) (2) a (sound of a trumpet) (3) a (gathering together, of His ELECT) These are the SAME EVENT! And it happens "IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION" Mt 24:39-42 Tells us one will be (taken) v,40 says "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be (taken), and the other left. The word (taken) is #3880; it means to receive near, i.e. associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation), to assume an office. The word (intimate) means a familiar friend, See page 2.
1Kings 1:43 says king David anointed Solomon to be the next king of Israel. I would have been there as one of 50 men by Adonijah's side saying "Who cares what evil king David decreed?" "Who does God want to be king over Israel?" By this point in asking questions like this would have caused evil king Solomon to have your head off lopped off. Deeds not words. After reading through the Kings & Chronicles... I don't see a more evil trio than the murderous, adulteress king David, his adulteress, murderous wife Bathsheba & their kid Solomon. Hundreds of wives between them how many children did these two evil men spawn?
Why does God have to send Elijah before Jesus comes the 2 nd time ?....Simple b/c Elijah has to come and turn the hearts of the ppl the fathers to the Children... what Children ?....That Israel of God that are gonna be born in us which are spirits....As Jesus said that which is born of the spirit is spirit....Thats the Children of PROMISE....That manchild the H.G....Remember the cross wd result in multiplication of his seed ....Smite the shepperd and the sheep will be scattered.... Malachi 4:3 kjv...Then i will turn my hand to the lil ones...The CHILDREN OF Promise.....Elijah wants to turn our hearts TO these Children of Promise....Which answer to our new hearts and new spirits ...A new innerman.....The H.G....And thats when Jesus and his kingdom comes....Remember what Jesus said unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in....Thats y Elijah is trying to turn the hearts of humanity to these children....Which are baby Christ...Behold me and the Children the lord has given me....Remember i will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven....The babes and sucklings are the Children the H.G. PLURAL ....But we are the Church the Elect lady....We be just a joint heir with the manchild the H.G....The only real heir. and elect....The Church is just the elect lady....But they are gona be made 1....That was his prayer in John 17...ok
Jesus knew that b/c of his death he wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven.... Matthew 19:28 kjv....Thats y he said blessed are them that follow me in the regeneration....That great multiplication of his seed the contents of the book in the fathers right hand...That New Covenant...Thats y he has to know us which is an intimacy that results in a birth of Christ in US his CHILDREN....Behold me and the Children the lord has given me...I think thats y Jesus is always speaking of the babes and sucklings....In my mind i see them as his Children...That are able to praise God with a perfect praise...gbu
Who is Mt 24:39 taking about being (took) away? Many people misinterpret verses in the Word of God and it throws off other parts of prophecy for them. (This is a perfect example of that) Lets look at Mt 24:37-39 and see who is (took) away. (37) But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (38) For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark. (39) And knew not until the flood came, and (took) them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Its kind of hard to understand who is (took) away unless we look at the word (took) in the original language. (took)#142; it means to lift, by implying to take up or away, to sail away, i.e. weight anchor, bear (up) take (away, up) The meaning of the word (took) shows us the continuation of verse 38 which says "until the day that Noe entered into the ark", the next verse "and (took) them all away". Noah and his family were the ones taken away, those left were left for destruction! Now lets look at the following verses that people also misinterpret as the (taken) are taken for judgment. Mt 24:40-42 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be (taken), and the other left. (41) Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be (taken), and the other left. (The word (taken) is #3880; it means to receive near, associate with oneself (in a familiar or intimate act or relation) to assume an office, receive, take (unto, with) (Those who are (taken) according to the meaning of this word are NOT TAKEN FOR JUDGMENT, but to receive near! (42) Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Jn 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; that where I am, there ye may be also. Those (taken) are those Jesus receives unto himself. Context, along with study and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth. Blessings.
Question why do people in my church insist that they are talking about grape juice and not wine as we know it It makes no sense to even mention it if it's just grape juice?
I don't read in the Bible anywhere that God said to kill animals and eat them. God said "I give you herbs and fruit for meat. Please answer this. I don't believe we should kill and eat animals.God did not intend us to do thst.
We need to be very careful about how we spend our time , time that we think we are devoting to God . Spending time on here , or other religious sites , time spent reading man made books about the Bible , are not in any way comparable to spending time actually reading the Bible . The Bible is God's love letter to us . It is the Word of the Creator to His beloved Creation . Only in it do we find real peace , strength , truth and righteousness . There is no where else on earth that is pure . It is the brightest warmest most beautiful place . It's there that we all belong , it is our first love , our home . Everything else is a distraction and we all know who is responsible for those don't we ?
'ye are gods". Your interpretation and Nocal's are wrongly dividing the word of truth and the belief you both ascribe to is heresy and evilly false.
Ruby, are you willing to believe what God says that He alone is god and there will be no gods created after Him? If you will not, then you are a deceiver and a false teacher.
And, as a reminder, I will wait for your answer on whether you are Earl Bowman or not.
Please know I write all of this in love, love for you, but more so, love for the truth of God in His Word an for the Love of God.
I have answered to your post using Scripture, as you asked. Please do not respond with a hyper allegorically Scripture twisting response. Just deal with the Scriptures as written without embellishing or inserting your thoughts within the Scripture to make it seem like the verse is actually saying what you are adding. That is deceptive and dangerous to those who may be led away into your error.
Verse 11......"11 The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:" (NIV )
Some translations use the word "women" in place of "company". NIV and ASV use women. Wonder why? This verse was used on banners by marchers in 1920 in their effort to support women's right to vote. I am confused. Why was it altered in some versions?
Psalms 17:15 As for ME (Christ), I will behold thy (the Father and God of Christ) face: I (Christ) will be satisfied, when I (Christ) awake (am resurrected, by the Father's SPIRIT), with THY (the Father's) likeness.
Romans 6:5 For if were be planted TOGETHER (you and Christ) in the likeness of his (Christ) DEATH; we shall also be the LIKENESS of HIS RESURRECTION.
Genesis 5:1 In that DAY (the day of the LORD; ALL MEN died with Christ and all MEN were resurrected with Christ) that God created man ( BY the resurrection), in the LIKENESS of GOD created he them.
Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth THY (the Father of ALL ( Ephesians 4:6) SPIRIT, THEY (all men) are CREATED; thou renewest the face of the earth.
Ezekiel 1:5 And out if the MIDST thereof (Christ) there came forth four LIVING CREATIONS, And this was their appearance, they (the new creation) had the appearance of A MAN (Christ).
Ezekiel 10:10 And as for the for their appearances (the LIVING CREATIONS), they four (the new creation) had ONE LIKENESS, as a WHEEL (Christ) in the MIDST of a WHEEL (Christ).
Colossians 1:27 ..this MYSTERY (of his resurrection) ... CHRIST IN YOU ..
Romans 8:28 For whom he (the Father of ALL) did foreknow, He (the Father) did predistinate (by the resurrection of Christ) to be conformed to the IMAGE (God) of his son, that he (Christ) might be the FIRSTBORN among many (cloned by his resurrection) BRETHREN.
Psalms 82:6 For I (the Father) have said, YE (my new creation, by your brother's resurrection) ARE GODS, the children of the most high.
John 10:35 If he (our Father, the WORD) called them (the new creation, by resurrection) GODS, unto WHOM the word of GOD CAME ( Hebrews 9:28), the scripture CANNOT be BROKEN.
Luke 20:36 Neither can THEY (the new creation) DIED ANYMORE (you died with Christ on the cross): for they are EQUAL to the ANGELS ( Isaiah 63:9...and the ANGEL of HIS (Christ in YOU) PRESENCE SAVED THEM.
When a Christian passes away here on earth, can you tell me if they immediately go to Heaven? I Thesselonians talks about the rapture where the dead in Christ will rise first. So I'm a little confused about this.
Regardless if you believe in God or not, read this message!
All throughout time, we can see how we have been slowly conditioned coming to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that Jesus foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?
In Revelation 13:16-18, we read,
"He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles-- Revelation 19:20) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666."
Speaking to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why's that? Revelation 13:17 states that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!
These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one "OR" the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate both places, or one--not one OR the other!
This is where it comes together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implantable RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip:

You will find this in Acts 4:10-12 which itself is the confirmation Matthew 21:42 and Psalm 118:22-23 and 1 Peter 2:6-7

The difference in severity can be taken from above.
If Christ is that Stone (which he is), then even common sense teaches that it is far better to fall on a stone than for a stone to fall on you.
