Does anyone know how to reconcile Jesus praying in faith and not having His prayer answered in Matthew 26:39 compared to Jesus saying with faith as a mustard seed you can move mountains: Matthew 17:20?
Surely Jesus prayed with perfect faith far more than a mustard seed, right?
I was a pastor and evangelist for many years before an ailment prompted my retiring. During those years I have read and heard just about all the thoughts and theories on the book of revelation. And that my dear friends is all they are. Theories. No one has, or will be, able to precisely explain this book. It is one of the great mysteries of the Bible. I have read it over and over in my eighty-seven years on this earth. I started with my conversion at the age of twenty two. Some parts (few) would seem to be clear, but not enough to preach or teach with complete understanding. In fact, no one can rightly state they completely understand without doubt much of the scripture. We think, and read, with a finite mind. Whereas, the author who revealed these writings did so from his infinite mind. Who on earth is able to declare with absolute truth the mind of god? I have the belief of God revealing at the proper time, the true meanings of this amazing book. At that time the teachers and preachers eyes will be opened, and they will be able to enlighten all who are interested. Reading it will be as easy to under stand as John 3:16. But, of course, as I penned, it is just my belief and theory. Any believer who reads revelation should begin with prayer. Asking god to reveal what is important to their spiritual growth, and thanking him for his blessings for reading it. "Blessed is he who reads the prophecy's of this book" We are living in very perilous times. We should not be overly concerned with any parts of the Bible. Confusing our selves with un-anserable questions. Instead, we should busy ourselves with the importance of living the life god requires of us. I was, and still would be, a preacher of the New Testament, which I know is the most pertinent of all the Bible to read and study. Believers should be pondering how they can help others to come to the realization of their need to believe, and accept, his love and forgiveness. God be with you all.
Is it possible for us to make restitution for sin? How can we avoid the punishment that will come? The sins that are before us, the sins we have committed in the past?
Perhaps we think we can control God or perhaps we can convince God, of our justification. Even so ,how can we know what His penalty Is? How can we know what the the punishment is! How can we be found righteous!?
We cannot know His perfect will, we cannot know His justice, Fulfilling it would be futile! You may wish this, however, it is nothing more than your own works. Our works will never do! It can never ever satisfy His perfect will!
Somehow we think we can clean up our mess, and still be justified! This is not the way it works. There must be contrition of sin, there must be repentance, there must be prayer, there must be a baptism, a death of the flesh and a renewing of the Spirit, the resurrection given for the forgiveness of sin! We cannot find these things that are freely given, until you believe that the Christ died for the sins of the world! He is Lord, He is the forgiver, He is our propitiation, He is our deliverer!
The church should have written the things that belong to the world from before time , so they would have not repeated the past! The things that they do not want to hear have become the truths that are before them. Once again. The stone they rejected has become the head of the corner.
What is the spiritual meaning of the woman's encounter with Jesus in the 26th chapter of Matthews? What does the oil symbolize and whatever happened to her after that day?
I need a better understanding about the background about Bethel, Gilgal, and Beersheba. Note what events recorded in the Old Testament happened at these locations in Israel's history and consider how Israel allowed commemorating those events to become a substitute for their own devotion to the Lord. What should believers today learn from what Israel did in Amos's day?
