I am not ashamed of the Gospel. Psalms 119:129"Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way." Psalms 119:104 also. 1Corinthians 6:12"All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient:all things are lawful for me but I will not be put under the power of any." A false way is against the Lord. False doctrine is against the Lord.
We shouldn't, as Christians, be on here to vilify anyone or their belief. There used to be an anachronism - WWJD? You saw it in lanyards, t-shirts, purses, everywhere. It seems we have rather forgotten about it. But it something we need to - remember. Jesus said, Be ye followers of me. He spoke to the Pharisees to 'try' to reach them - and He did reach a few of them, Acts 15:5.
He Lives!,He Lives!,Christ Jesus lives today,he walks with me and talks with me upon life narrow ways,He Lives!,He lives!,Salvation to impart,You ask me how I know he lives,he lives within my heart.Amen to yeshua/yaway,Thank you so much for giving such a precious gift to us all,Thank you so much for being there father and your begotten son for SALVATION,he has risen on the morrow,Praise YeshuaAmen
May all praise be to God, the verse John 16:33 is true, like all of God's Word, and it applies to us as followers of Christ. guys highlight this in a Bible you own.
Some important things to know about WHY we are still here, and that we should not be scandalized because of the Lord's purpose in leaving us here. Comforter, or Paraclete, means the Source and Presence of [our] Calling. It is Profitable FOR US that the Spirit come to us, TO CONVICT THE WORLD OF SIN, OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND OF JUDGMENT. For this they will Work Against Us from out of the Synagogues.
These verses from John 16 are an encouragement to true followers of Jesus Christ. "In the world, ye shall have tribulation." A person who loves Christ WILL suffer persefution because of Him. When we walk in truth and obedience to God and the scripture we have this proof of rejection that shows we have eternal life. Praise God for not leaving us alone, but giving us His Spirit to help us abide!!
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 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. WOW! we are not alone... plus we have peace in Him WOW!
John1-4 jesus speaking about not to be troubled you believe in God believe also in me. That whoev they would put you out of the synogues and kill you and think he is doing God a service. My opionion is Islam what name of God or they using allah
V. 20 - ye shall be sorrowful, but the world shall rejoice (crucifixion); your sorrow shall be turned into joy (Day of Pentecost when Holy Ghost was poured out - Acts 2:38).
I thank god for using his son to go to the cross for ours sin like john 16 tell if jesus haven't gone away the comforter wouldn't bein able to come .this chapter speaks well of the comforter amen.
The world tells us that if we hear voices, then we are insane, yet Yeshua tells us we should expect to hear His Voice. In order to hear His Voice, we need to Know His Word intimately. We do not want to hear: "Depart from me, ye wicked, I never Knew you!"
To Bill on John ch. 16 - there's no Jesus admonition in Matt to be born of the water and the spirit or Matt. 28:19 and Acts 2:38? These are in GOD'S Word too.
I read this as a message of hope given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. Even though we may suffer in this life, our Lord has conquered this and offers us the comfort of hope in him. Our only peace is in our Lord Jesus the Christ, a free gift from God our Father.
In this, my favorite verse of the Bible, Christ promises us that we will experience ("ye shall have"), hardship in this life, but He also assures us that we are not to be downhearted about this ("but be of good cheer"), because He has already destroyed ("I have overcome") all hardship ("the world" - i.e. the home of tribulation). What greater assurance can there be in this life, than this?
Jesus is telling His disciples that in a little while He must leave and go home to the Father,God. And that He shall return soon within each of them personally as a Spirit, the Holy Ghost, to lead and guide with the word from God as.He once did as.Jesus Christ. This time they trusted and believed Him.
Jesus at this time was aware of his fate ,the thing he would have to go through, yet he also knew truth and he comforted his disciples and today he comforted us, John 16:33, Glory to God in the Highest; we will overcome in him who has already won the victory for us.
I believe that this chapter is mainly about God will bring you peace no matter what you've done. Just repent you know Jesus is alive and in the hearts of people all across the world.
was so confusing and difficult for disciples, but they would start living in faith whilst they knew the real Man, adjusting was not easy, unlike us we only believe and have certainity for something we have not seen,
I think someone missed the verse before? Jesus is not His Father!! You ask FATHER in Jesus name. You are not asking Jesus when asking His Father as the opener clearly shows. 23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Comment* Christ in a beautiful way prepares the disciples to be accustomed to His absence from them. He is also preparing them for what will beset them when He has left.
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 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. WOW! we are not alone... plus we have peace in Him WOW!
