Like so many of us the paralytic lived on the edge, the perimeter, close but just outside his miracle. Like many of us he had excuses, "no man to put me into the pool", "another steps down before me". I believe we can all relate to his feelings of defeat and despair. There has been a heavenly transistion, no longer do we have to wait for a certain season or be the first one in the water!
Explain then how the rich man lifted up his eyes in hell after he died and saw lazerus afar off
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord or in hell.Man is a triune being made after
Gods image. We are a never dieing soul that will live in heaven or hell for eternity we have a spirit and
live in a body. Where you spend eternity depends on what you do with Jesus. John 3 says
to demitri Maybe you are right about the dead being asleep.but Jesus told the thief, while on the cross Today you will be in paradise with me. could this have changed when Jesus was crucified ? Also Matt. 27:52 The graves broke open and many of the saints that slept were resurrected and went into the city. I m not challenging you ;Only seeking
To Dimitri: I believe the Word of God, so I will give you scriptures to prove, that what God said is true. I have studied God's Word for over 50 yrs since I was Saved. If you do not believe the Bible. Do NOT respond back. I will not argue with you. Your body is dead (asleep), To be resurrected in the last day. Colossians 3:3,7 - I Thessalonians 4:13-18 There are so many more scriptures.
Only through our OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORDS WE WILL MADE WHOLE. The Paralized man was not healed when Jesus came He was healed the moment he obeyed what Jesus told him to do. When we deligently seeking God and obey his words we are releasing our Faith. Jesus made everything new its time for us to THANKED HIS BLOOD AND PRAISE HIM AND FOLLOW HIM TILL RAPTURE. I love you and trust u Jesus
After you die, you go into a deeeeeeep sleep coma. Time esentialy stops for you, 100000 years can go by and be like 1 second for you, cause you don't feel anything anyway.. In the Bible, death has always been likened to a sleep like state: 1Ki 2:101Ki 11:432Ch 14:1 , .... and the list goes on and on and on........... just search for: "slept fathers" You experience nothing: PSA 146:4ECC 9:5-6 Important examples: DAN 12:2DAN 12:131Th 4:16-17 JOH 6:39-44 No offence, but the belief that once you die you to paradise or you go to hell is taken from non-Biblical religions.. and i'm really sorry to those who hold dear to it. But please just be honest to yourself and to God: Always be Patient.. it took me years to know this.
I believe in GOD and he belives in me so that my path will be to him and not to Satan. HE IS THE PATH WE WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW BECAUSE WE LOVE GOD OUR LEADER. AMEN !!
The Word of God is absolutely true. Jesus, the Son of man gives life. Let us live righteously so that one day we will hear the voice of Christ and be transformed into everlasting life with him. Praise and magnify the Lord!
The man was heal st John 5 give us hope that you can do good any day it was blessings day for that man he can walk again I just love the scriptures how great is our God I have hope there is anything too hard for God to do
And that spirit of antichrist is now most prevalent in the last time as Satan is a king over all the children of pride. JESUS CHRIST is come in the flesh but pride stops ears and blinds eyes causing unbelief. John 5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? 1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time. 1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world.
Jesus showed consideration and compassion for the older man. Many people around him were to busy looking out for their own interests, but Jesus took the time to help the man. We can imitate Jesus by showing consideration for others and doing what we can to help them.
JESUS came to do the will of his Father, in to show the perfect way, God 's true intent, for grace and truth came by JESUS CHRIST: So on the Sabbath day JESUS heal, JESUS came to bring forth life, healing, also restoration. The Law would only limit mans understanding, and relationship with God. In this case we see the Fathers heart concerning making people whole, Spirit, soul, and body. The law would limit man, but the grace of God through JESUS CHRIST would open up to you God 's unconditional love which includes healing of the body. The possibilies are unlimited, only by the Spirit of God can we know the truth for he will reveal them to us. God You All
James Njoku- Maybe 1 Peter Chapter 3: 17-22 will help you regarding John 5:28 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison those that had died before Christ was sacrificed on the cross was preached to by Christ after he was crucified while he was still yet in the tomb for those 3 days. They heard Christs voice. Hebrews 9:27-27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:---- you are making that verse harder than it is suppose to be. It means that after someone dies-you must be judged. Judgement time comes after the perishing of flesh. Although it does not come immediately after death. It comes on judgement day. I hope some of this has helped you Keep studying! Don 't give up. If you don 't understand something, pray for wisdom and knowledge from GOD...for all wisdom and knowledge comes from GOD. He is faithful. You will receive it in HIS time! Always be patient!!!! ALWAYS!
JESUS always had problems with the scribe and Pharisee JESUS had to teach the people that though he is man his GOD GOD 'S son and he is the word of GOD what our FATHER sent him to do is above the law and when it comes to salvation,deliverance, healing,destroying the bonds of the wicked JESUS didn 't care what day it was. For hr came to do the work of his Father.
Death : Hell : and the Grave : Have no dominion in me. I have been set free from all . Sin : Sickness : and Disease : I have been delivered from . If I should die today : I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him. I am saved : healed : delivered : kept in safety : and have soundness of mind. Praise God forever more !!!!
I see it as I see John 1:13 It is of God 's will. Spiritually dead man and woman cannot come to God. They are dead. God does the regenerating and gives the gift of faith to those He will, of His will. What a gift ! Totally undeserved. He loved me and picked me out of the gutter, by HIS GRACE ALONE. I must in turn love others to HIM ! And that is to THE JEW FIRST, as did Paul all the way through to the end of Acts ! The church dropped the ball here !
John 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. People almost always are too complacent, because they cherish the illusion that when things start to go bad, they will have time to extricate themselves It never works that way. Events move much faster than anyone expects... History usually doesn t evolve in a slow and orderly way often it leaps forward in disorderly, chaotic jumps. Luke 13 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. no one of those eigteen woke up knowing they were going to die in the tower.
