1181 | Tramsfiguration Jesus have return 2 Heav | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 200347 | ||
Amen Doc, that's just what I've been trying to say. Perhaps I've been too wordy? That's also why I asked: What, is the focus of the study, and, what are it's goals? Personally I don't really trust those kind of questions in the first place. The goal of the like, seems to be to confuse. | ||||||

Hi parpar Thanks for your response. Well, if, (John 6:62) is in reference to the original question, ("During the transfiguration how are we reminded that he could have returned to Heaven at that time?") I'd have to say it doesn't really support it. (John 6:62) is, I believe, in reference to His actual ascension. There's really no reference to His ascension at the transfiguration found in matthew 17:1-8 and I think, It would have to be assumed that, it somehow could be that, He (couldn't) have ascended, in the first place, in-order to ask the question; ("During the transfiguration how are we reminded that he could have returned to Heaven at that time?"). in my humble opinion, I don't mean to be pedantic, that is. (John 6:62) Does however, validate, to some degree; answering the original question with the question; ("But where do we get the idea, that Jesus, "couldn't have" returned to Heaven?") I don't believe Scripture ever infers that He couldn't have returned, though it is clear that, He was here to do the Father's will; and in no way, was He going to return, until that was completed! Matt 26:42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done." Thanks again for your input, parpar. God bless John |

Thank you too parpar! Yes, even though we know we may not be blessed with worldly blessings, It's still a very comfortable place to be, isn't it. :-) |

Ah! That does bring it to focus! Some say the grossest understatement of all time, is when peter said, "Lord it is good for us to be here!" :-) | ||||||

Good point, Brother BradK, also, though it requires a bit of speculation on our part, The Voice of God, from the cloud, giving His, unquestionable approval. ? Just two cents.... God bless John |

Hi Velda You are very welcome! It is a challenging question, (it really made me think) at least for me it's challenging! I'm curious to know though, what is the topic of the study you are engaged in? What are the goals of the study? And, speaking of study, I hope you stay around, and study with us. God bless John |

Hi Velda, Well, Velda, in that case, I must be legally blind too! Because I don't see where we are (reminded) that He (could have) returned to Heaven, at (that time), ether! Maybe, someone else can help? Personally; I would question the questioner, as to, what they mean by, that, he (could have) sense He obviously, (could have) done, anything He wanted, any time He wanted! Good question though...... I think?... God bless John |

Dear Val 1963 does bring back memories! In my case however, I'd rather not mention the dark past. :-( Although it wasn't then, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, is one of my favorite songs, now! By the way, I was still watching a black and white set until just a few years ago. I couldn't see getting rid of the thing as long as it still worked! So did someone say I'm cheep? :-) Thanks Sister Val! I really appreciate your contribution here at SBF. God bless John |

oh yes, Azure, that certainly would explain the way Chinese translate the verse, in that case it makes good sense to do it that way. Very interesting by the way. I too am actually aware of the problem you referred to. I remember listing to an interview with the evangelist Billy Graham, wherein he said that he made a point never to even have an interview, or counsel a member of opposite sex in a private setting, so as not to have even a hint of impropriety or to give any a opportunity to accuse him of immorality. It is indeed sad, to see some, especially in a leadership role, to misrepresent our Lord in such a way. Thank you for your response Sister Azure. God bless John P.S. not many here greet with kisses ether, though some do, they are usually related, with close family ties. As Sister Val pointed out, we usually just want hugs! :-) |

1192 | Ruth2 y did Boaz redeem Ruth not Naomi? | Ruth 3:9 | stjohn | 200140 | ||
Hi Tor, The little book of Ruth, is a beautiful picture of Christ's redemption! There is a wonderful and very enlightening study on this truly inspiring little book, found at the following website. http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/Ruth_Study/ --"Ruth presents the gospel to us in story form. It shows how Ruth, an outcast Moabite, is accepted into the family of God through the work of Boaz, her "Kinsman-Redeemer." This little book teaches us about sin and repentance, about the grace of God and forgiveness, of the love and care of Christ, and of the joy of fellowship with God’s people. Come and enjoy as we dig up the treasure of the gospel, and display its jewels through this study." --settingcaptivesfree.com You cant go wrong with this one! It's a wonderful study! God bless John |

I like what you said there Chuck. I gotta agree Brother. Dreams and visions can be, and all too often are, deceiving, even when they are from God, we can get it wrong! Look at Jacob and how he responded to his dream, in Gen 28:12-16 God reveled to him, truths about, Jesus Christ, surly, He, is what we should see in the picture given in his dream. But look what Jacob thought, Gen 28:17 He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." Obviously, that place, was not the House of God, or, The Gate of Heaven. Jesus is the Gate to Heaven! So even Jacob was wrong about his dream. Note: He didn't have what we have, and that is, the "complete" cannon of, The Holy Word Of God! Who are we, to think we, can interpret a dream? You are so right my friend, Scripture is our only guide. God bless John |

ooh, so, "acting out of", is really acting in accordance with! I see said the blind carpenter as he picked up his hammer and saw.... ;-) I'll try to remember that when I read your or anyone's post's in the future. But it would be helpful I suppose If we all didn't use colloquialisms form our "neck of the woods." You might say over thar In my neck of the woods, (and thats up a holler and round a bend so far it takes a week a sunny tuesdies ta see any sunshine a'tall ! ) some folks cant hardly speak no English ether a'tall, neither nor any, no-sir! Not hardly even never. :-) By the way, I'm not making fun of you, I'm just trying to make light of not only ours, but mostly my own mistakes in understanding, and probably not doing too well.... Thanks for clearing that up for me Brother! God bless John |

1197 | Is it easy for God to forgive? | Matt 6:15 | stjohn | 199984 | ||
Good day Brother Steve. Glad to help :-) Here's a copy and paste quote from your post. "We also know He is just. So in regards to forgiveness of those who repent, not only is He right to do so, (but it seems to me He is acting out of His nature.)" (brackets are mine) So I guess you didn't say exactly, that he was going against His nature, but that it (seems like) He is acting out of His nature. Now to someone reading along that could look like you really thought He would act out of His nature. Please note; that I said in my post that I didn't think you really would "seriously" consider that He really would do that, but that it was only just perhaps a passing thought. And I'd like to add, It didn't worry me at all. It did however "seem" like it maybe did bother Doc, at least enough for him to mention it in this way, (let me quote him) "Let us keep in mind that God is never, ever conflicted about anything He does." So you see, It seemed to me, that Doc was correcting you for your folly. I was simply saying that I didn't think you had really taken it that far. Being at least somewhat familiar with your theology, from reading your posts for the last year, I didn't think that it reflected that you would really seriously think that that was really true. And I'd like to add, now that I've given it some thought, also, that I'm pretty sure Doc was just making that statement to clarify for the benefit of others that might be reading along, and not necessarily directly at you. I hope I didn't mess things up even worse. I've tried to be as clear as I can. Sorry about the confusion. :-) We can surly see the folly in speculating about what others may be thinking. :-) God bless John |

1198 | Is it easy for God to forgive? | Matt 6:15 | stjohn | 199978 | ||
You are welcome my friend :-) Yes, Doc does have a way of bringing all aspects into focus. I hadn't thought enough about that, and I think I originally missed in your post were it said, perhaps, He was going against His nature. Anyway, however I suppose I maybe skipped over it "lightly", because reading your post's over this past year that I've been around, I hadn't really seen anything in your theology reflecting that you would "seriously" consider that, but rather it was probably only just a passing thought..... You did say that, you were just thinking out loud, after all. Certainly, everything but everything, is for His Glory! Having once been the sort of man that would just as soon remove a kneecap, rather then help a man up, I can well empathize with anyone's getting emotional about His Grace and Mercy. I've often found myself weeping, when I truly realize just how loving and wonderfully forgiving He is. His Mercy endureth forever! Bless you Brother Steve! John |

Beautiful thoughts, Brother Steve. Thank you so much. You have a pretty nice way of wrapping words around your thoughts. I have to say I agree with you. I can't help but feel the same way. I get a picture of Him judging the lost with tears in His eyes, and like a mother who would cry out for her lost children. Matt 23:37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. I can't tell how many times I've skipped over this verse. Though it's hidden among so many that speak of judgment, It a treasure that cry's out with His compassion. God bless John |
