  • Alvis Jenkins on 1 Corinthians 11 - 1 year ago
    Taking communion in the church building by the church, it is often brought up by various believers whether to use juice or wine.

    I feel like in the days of old in the beginning of taking communion, real fermented juice was used, as Paul commented to the Corinthians that some drank and became drunken.

    But today, we in the churches of God only use fresh juice that represents the blood of Christ. In this manner, we stop anyone from being drunken.

    Question, would any of us as believers condemn any believer if they partook of fermented juice in communion as long as an amount would not be intoxicating ?
  • GiGi again on Exodus 24 - 1 year ago
    Exodus 24 continued. So, it seems that this pavement would be made of all the primary colors that would together make all the colors of the rainbow. It was clear and transparent, without blurring, flaw, or imperfection. How awesome that would be to behold! I wonder how it affected Aaron, his sons, and the 70 elders? I also wonder if the people below saw any of this.

    It says "But YHWH did not lay His hand on these nobles (elders)". I think this means that He didn't slay or harm them for seeing this manifestation of Himself because he chose to reveal Himself this way, knowing what man can take of His glory and not be consumed. During this visitation of YHWH, the 74 ate and drank with God. Not that God ate and drank, but that the 74 had a ceremonial meal for the sealing of the covenant. The blood sprinkled on the altar symbolized God's oath and the sprinkled blood on the people symbolized the Israelites' oath concerning this new covenant.

    Next, YHHW calls Moses and Joshua up further on the mountain to the cloud that surrounded the top of the mountain. I like how God said, Come up to me on the mountain. He says He will give Moses tablets of stone that have the law and commandments that God Himself had written on the stone tablets. Moses is instructed to teach these to the people. Moses told the elders, Aaron and Aaron's sons to stay where they are and be regents (leaders and judges in Moses' stead for the Israelites.

    The glory of the YHWH rested upon Mt. Sinai, covering the mountain for six days. Perhaps Moses went up the mountain on the first day of the week and on the seventh day (the Sabbath) YHWH to Moses out of the cloud.

    It says that the sight of the glory of God was like a consuming fire for the Israelites below. Moses went into the cloud and was there for 40 days and 40 nights with YHWH.

    Thus ends this chapter, leaving us in suspense! These people experience so many amazing things with YHWH. Surely this experience would be life changing!, But we shall see.

  • Richard H Priday on John 14 - 1 year ago
    John 15: Predestination and the work and blessed assurance of the Godhead.

    As we continue here and the following chapter; we see how Christ gave comfort and assurance immediately before the trial at Gethsemene which He knew was imminent. Heaven itself is mentioned right off the bat in verse 3. This; of course leads to confusion and further questions.

    The answer in verse 6 is that no one comes to the Father but by me (Christ). So; the access to heaven is the priority; and that essentially is showing them how the Father makes Himself known. Previously; the emphasis was on understanding who Christ was and that no one could know HIM unless the Father had elected them. Thomas was told that he was soon to understand in verse 7; followed by Phillip's request to see the Father (obviously he still didn't get things completely). He then explains the Godhead and how the Holy Spirit would come soon at Pentacost to remain with them (verse 18-21) and continues to show how prayers are answered in understanding these concepts. He promises peace despite the remorse over His upcoming death; and comfort as the Holy Spirit will remind them of these things; with further reminders of these things just spoken as well.

    Before we do a V-8 moment as to the apparent dullness of mind these 12 Disciples appeared to demonstrate; we should all be reminded that without the Holy Spirit we are toast; and if it weren't for restraint being enacted by God Satan would have destroyed all of us and the whole earth by now. We should see at least occasionally as Christ saw; that we are indeed seated at heavenly places and perceive the spiritual world and the unseen and not focus in on what our five senses and the devil are constantly promoting. We need to take on the milk of the Word as babes before we can mature and discipline helps; nonetheless we can do nothing without Him ( John 15:5).

    Jesus And The Samaritan Woman

    John 4:1-26

    1. When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and Baptized more disciples than John,

    2. (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

    3. He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

    4. And he must needs go through Samaria

    5. Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph

    6. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being weared with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

    7. Therefore a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

    8. (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

    9. Then saith the woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealing with the Samaritans unto him, How it that thou, being a Jew, asketh drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

    10. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knowest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

    11. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

    12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle.

    13. Jesus answered and said unto her, Whoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again.

    14. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water spring up into everlasting life.

    15. The woman saith unto him, Sir give me this water, that I thirst not neither come hither to draw.

    16. Jesus saith unto her,but call thy husband, and come hither.

    17. The woman answered and said, I have no husband, Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

    John 13 and Predestination

    This chapter; and the following are part of a private discourse between Christ and the 12 Disciples and demonstrate what has been prophesied in both veiled and now clear language as to what would happen to Christ; who whould betray Him; and once again God's inseparable relation to Christ when He is glorified as well as His elect (or chosen as stated in verse 18).

    It is clear that Judas Iscariot was also called AND chosen for the evil betrayal; which was prophesied in Psalm 41:9. This verse ALSO shows how Judas was a "close friend who He trusted". There was pain because of the betrayal for this reason despite the inevitability of it Jesus gave him the sop which was traditionally given to a guest of honor. (Verse 26). This is why we cannot make election or predestination a mere intellectual concept. If Christ could love someone who was to be the "son of perdition" ( John 17:2) then who are we to not love our enemies; and pray for those who despitefully use us? ( Matt. 5:44).

    We also need to see how Jesus loved His own unto the end (verse 1). Jesus surely had other things that could preoccupy Him after the Passover meal. Instead; He decided to reassure His disciples who still didn't get much of what He was saying. Verse 36 was the first hint that Peter would be restored after his fall into denial of Christ. He would die eventually and be with Christ. Here; he showed how being a servant was paramount in being a Godly example.

    This was the culmination of what He had been saying for the last few years; and in a a few short days it would finally be clear to the Disciples what these concepts meant. Since all but one of the 12 would be martyred eventually; they had to strip themselves of any self reliance and follow the Master's footsteps. Divine help through the Spirit for all these things would soon arrive at Pentecost.

    Jesus answered and said unto them,

    "Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go."

    Do you know where you came from?

    Do you really ,really know?

    Do you know where you are going?

    Jesus knew, He knew ,like you and I know what day it is, what time it is.

    He had a complete understanding who He is, and why He had come to the earth!

    He could see from the beginning to the end!

    Unlike us who worry about tomarrow , or the what "if's", surrounded with the uncertainty of what it will bring ?

    Faith in His word, believing His words, are what the people need to confront, the reality, in the"here and now" that we will stand before Him!

    The cross is where we will confront Him! Sooner or later, for the time is at Hand!

    The Resurrection Of Christ

    Mark 16:1-8

    1. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had brought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

    2. And they early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

    3. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

    4. And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

    5. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in long white garment, they were affrighted.

    6. And he saith unto them, Be not frightened: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is not there: behold the place where they laid him.

    7. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galliee : there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

    8. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: said they anything to any man; for they were afraid.

    Jesus Calls Matthew

    Matthew 9-9-13

    9. And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of customes: and he saith unto to him, Follow me. And he arose,band followed him.

    10. And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

    11. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

    12. But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

    13. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I an not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
  • Grae - 1 year ago
    Please brothers and sisters , next time u read the book of Job , think of Jesus . Apply all the things that happened to Job to Jesus . He had a life before his ministry , a job , a family (as the eldest boy he would have had to help provide for siblings etc ) think about that last temptation of Jobs : touch his flesh and he will curse thee says the devil to God . The book of Job is there for a reason . Job maintains that he has not done anything (sinned ) to deserve these punishments from God , his friends basically say that he must have (sinned ) Jesus says , the cup that God gives me shall I not drink of it ? Even though Jesus didn't sin he accepted his fate from God . Job says shall we only ever receive good things from God ? Think about these things next time u read Job .
  • Adam - 1 year ago
    I'd like to ask a question directed at anyone who believes Jesus isn't God the Son or a part of any Godhead and may be open to responding. I come in peace to ask a question for my own understanding and I won't respond to this thread as I know how passionate the discussions on this topic can become.

    The regular brothers and sisters here probably know that I believe Jesus is God the Son, because of what it says in John 1:1, 1 John 5:7, etc. I feel lead to defend Jesus when I sometimes see comments denying His divinity, especially if to influence newer believers, but I won't post again here.

    My question is: do you believe Jesus as the Son of God has any % of God the Father in Him? If so, what %?

    In human terms, most of us understand that when a father has a son that about 50% of his DNA and genes will come from the father, and 50% from the mother. Because there is no mention of the Son of God having a mother, one may presume that most of any inherited traits may have come from God the Father through some kind of miraculous act.

    Basically, if you don't believe Jesus is God, do you believe that any % of God-ness may have been inherited from God the Father (and what scripture says)?

    God bless.

  • Mark Valesano on 2 Chronicles 24:16 - 1 year ago
    Sach. I'm not sure what congregation would not allow those in occupational fields of risks and personal safety (police officers and military personnel) to be a part of their fellowship. Is there a biblical reference for this standard to be applied? Do you or your fellowship consider these and the others in your post (prison officers, debt collectors or politicians) lost causes? I'm not trying to pick a fight, just wondering where the biblical narrative is that would support such a position. Have a good day...

    This is something so different. Is there any words or verses to use God's word as nail cutters and/or emery boards in our life. Or a description of His Word in cleaning our life. We are having a ladies day at our church and we are giving manicure kits as gifts. I'm ending the day with the gift of salvation and I would like to use Gods word for our spiritual life. Or how these tools can keep us spiritually clean. I have my understanding I can use. I just want something more or better. Thank you so much.

  • D W L on Acts 1 - 1 year ago
    John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

    15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

    18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

    Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

    14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

    15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

    16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

    17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

    Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

    Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

    Jesus can forgive sin, or he can say take up thy bed and walk, or I will be thou clean, or he can say today today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
  • Brandon Bradford on Psalms 143 - 1 year ago
    144 meaning in the bible
  • Sheryl Stover on 2 Samuel 1 - 1 year ago
    While there is a lot of discussion about all of this, what I think is more important than what does and doesn't make sense is that Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God, in the Book of John it says that In the beginning, the Word was God, the Word was with God and the Word is God. And then it talks about the Messiah, which regular folk read for it to be the Christ. And after I read that many times, I finally figured it out. All we really need to know is very simple, Jesus is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Lamb of God.

    I think that too many times we try to make everything so complicated instead of dwelling on what the Bible teaches us right now. We know who God is, we know who Jesus is and we know who the Holy Spirit is. Truthfully, what more do we need to know? I know that there are those who desire to know more, but I'm not one of them. I believe every word written in the Bible exactly as it is written and to mean exactly what it says. If we try too hard to figure something out then we just end up more confused. I would love to understand all of this but my brain has a finite amount of space left. Everyone keeps wanting to change the world, now it's supposed to be flat because it's written in Samuel 11 by the Protestant Reformers. But that language is hard to read and the letters are not what we have today. We are coming into the last days maybe I will maybe I won't be alive then, all I care about is going to Heaven and seeing Jesus as I'm on my knees before Him apologizing for all my Sin. God bless you all.

  • Ronnette on Deuteronomy 32 - 1 year ago
    What a great chapter to learn how great God we have. Glory to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ and peace to all living saints who are very much guided by the Holy Spirit of God.

    Galatians 1:12

    For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

    Be saved! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

    Revelation 15:3-4 I love singing this song.

    And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

    Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

    Revelation 18:4

    And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

    1 Timothy 5:15

    For some are already turned aside after Satan.

  • Elijah - 1 year ago
    The bibles are the most scientific written and jesus one of the most smartest human. any of his word are carefully chosen and referred to scientific laws that means facts. but again you are all so humans and distracted. your eyes and ears are far away to even be able to see or hear what he are saying. that's the reason he talk about blind and deaf.

    the only way to start having a tiny taste of jesus abilities is by turning away from your sins. just open your eyes and ears and pay close attention!

    if god said i made you holy or at my image, do you think the holiness laws rules on earth for no reason?

    why there are jails, school, government, churches...?

    why evils is not taught to children?

    open your eyes and ears, pay close attention!!!
