21 | Is God with us at all times? | Matt 28:20 | Rainbow Maker | 39738 | ||
Genesis 3:8 says"They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden." This verse tells us that Adam and Eve were physcally aware of the Lord's presence with them in the Garden. Matt 28:20says "teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." This verse in Matthew is where Jesus tells us that he will always be with us. This being with us is not a being which has the physical presence heard by Adam and Eve in the Garden. It is something we believe because He told us so. Yes I believe that though God was with Adam and Eve when they disobeyed Him and ate the fruit that He asked them because He had to hear their confession in real time. That is he had to hear them say so in just the same way as they heard Him coming to them in the garden. God is never ever absent because through Jesus He told us He is always with us. Rainbow maker |

22 | Is God with us at all times? | Matt 28:20 | Rainbow Maker | 39770 | ||
How I like the quote from Jeremiah and also Paul speaking to the Corinthian Christians in 1 Cor 3:3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? Walking like mere men and drinking milk is somewhere all Christians must begin. Though even until the day we die we will be flesh but not merely so for the Spirit of him who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will give life to our mortal bodies too. Our bodies are Temples of the Holy Spirit and because they are so we inherit the Kingdom through this potentiality the Potentiality of the Spirit which in us makes us far more than flesh and blood.

23 | When was Quirinius governor of Syria? | Luke 2:2 | Rainbow Maker | 40061 | ||
Article by JAMES ORR in the entry under Jesus Christ in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, in Parsons, 1992-1999 (1) THE CENSUS OF QUIRINIUS. The emperor Augustus had given orders for a general enrollment throughout the empire (the fact of periodical enrollments in the empire is well established by Professor W.M. Ramsay in his Was Christ Born at Bethlehem?), and this is stated to have been given effect to in Judea when Quirinius was governor of Syria (Lk 2:1, 2). The difficulties connected with the enrollment or census here mentioned are discussed in the article QUIRINIUS. It is known that Quirinius did conduct a census in Judea in 6 AD (compare Acts 5:37), but the census at Christ’s birth is distinguished from this by Luke as “the first enrollment.” The difficulty was largely removed when it was ascertained, as it has been to the satisfaction of most scholars, that Quirinius was twice governor of Syria—first, after Herod’s death, 4-1 BC, and again in 6-11 AD. The probability is that the census was begun under Varus, the immediate predecessor of Quirinius—or even earlier under Saturninus—but was delayed in its application to Judea, then under Herod’s jurisdiction, and was completed by Quirinius, with whose name it is officially connected. That the enrollment was made by each one going to his own city (verse 3) is explained by the fact that the census was not made according to the Roman method, but, as befitted a dependent kingdom, in accordance with Jewish usages (compare Ramsay) Andy Rainbow maker |

1 Acts 11:26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Christians are disciples of Jesus Christ and we christians were first called so at Antioch. Rainbow Maker |

25 | what the meaning of John 20 :1-8 ? | John | Rainbow Maker | 39740 | ||
John 20:9 For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. This is the verse which follows and is the key. Jesus has risen from the dead and Mary magdalen was among the first to find the empty tomb. She went and told Peter and John that the tomb was empty and that she thought someone had stolen Jesus' body. Peter entered the tomb first followed by John who when he entered the tomb remembered that Jesus had said that he would rise again from the dead. That is why the tomb was empty. Rainbow Maker. |

26 | what the meaning of John 20 :1-8 ? | John | Rainbow Maker | 39744 | ||
Yes Patricia seeing is believing though remember that after doubting Thomas put his finger into Jesus' side Jesus said more blessed are they who believe who have never seen. John 20:29 in the New American Catholic Bible says "Jesus then said to him (Thomas)'you became a believer because you saw me blest are they who have not seen and have believed'" Rainbow Maker |

Precicely, oh, by the way I thought I would let you know it is 3.00pm Thursday 21 st here in NSW. It seems strange speaking to people in the past. I love that especial reading of the Resurrection story becasue it makes everyonr seem so real just like us. Rainbow Maker |

30 | what the meaning of John 20 :1-8 ? | John | Rainbow Maker | 39767 | ||
Yes the resurrection is very real even though there are four Gospel versions of it and other versions in the Epistles. Jesus' death for our sins was a free gift unto eternal life, for as many as believe he gave power to be sons and daughters of God. "Rom 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." If we have accepted God's free gift of salvation and have received the gift of the holy Spirit and are being led by that then we are sons and daughters of God. Andy Rainbow maker |

32 | A Study of John's Gospel. | John 1:1 | Rainbow Maker | 39875 | ||
Hi Cynthia, I am glad you are joining me: 4:The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. In the beginning was Jesus, the Word,he was with God in the beginning and this Jesus was/is God Himself. This Word, Jesus entered into this world of time and came to live with humanity/Israelites. The incarnation is so crucial, that we have someone who came to share our humanity so that He might pay the penalty for our sins by dying in our place. A God could not do this, only the God man Jesus was qualified. We shall speak about these qualities or qualifications later on. During His lifetime here with us Jesus showed His glory to us, a glory that is of the only one who has ever come from the Father and this glory is full of grace and truth. During his life here with us and I think John is refering both to Jesus' life in Israel as well as his life among humans.. Jesus demonstrated to us that He shares in the glory of God. Here is the next verse for you. The next sequence after this verse, begins the ministry of John the Baptist. John 1:5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. Cynthia, I am going to take this as the verses come unless I need clarification then we can both do some research. Your brother in Christ Andy |

Cynthia: -These are some of the last sayings of Jesus as recorded in John 19:25b -30 (NRSV). "Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 1. 26When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son. 2. ” 27Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home. 3. 28After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty.” 29A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. 4. 30When Jesus had received the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.'

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. John 1:11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. Right on Angel1, Just to reiterate some of the things you have said: John 1:10 says: He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. Jesus, the Logos, he who "spoke" the world into being came down into this world, the world that was made through him and was not known. Furthermore Jesus came to his own, to the Jews, the chosen people of God and they did not know him. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. This, above is the part that tells us that those of us who do receive Jesus then have the right to become the Spiritual children of God, spiritual because we are born not of blood and flesh but of the spirit through the will of God. Then John says again that the word became flesh and lived amongst us and we saw his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father. Here John speaks for all the people who saw the glory of the Son shining through his physical presence, how wonderful that would have been. Andy |

Part one John 1:6-10 John 1: 6-17 Verses 1 – 18 of John chapter one form the prologue to Johns Gospel, so I ought to have included verse 18 among those set for us to study, I apologise that I did not realize this to begin with. John 1:18 reads “No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. NASB “ John 1:6 John 1:6” There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. “NASB At verse six we read of a man named John sent by God. We read of his annunciation in Luke 1:5-23 and of his annunciation in Luke 1:57-80, note the prophetic description of the works of John the Baptist given by his father Zechariah in Luke 1:76 -79. "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the lord to prepare his ways; to give to his people the knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, with which the sunrise from on high will visit us, to shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." NASB St Mark begins his Gospel with the preaching of John the Baptist Mark 1:4-8: “John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. John was clothed with camels hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey. And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals. "I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." NASB Note the words of Isaiah 40:3 fulfilled in Mark 1: 2-3 “As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: "BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY; THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, "MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.""NASB For more Scripture on John the Baptist go to Matthew chapter 3. All four Gospels mention John the Baptist because he was the last prophet of that former age, he was sent to usher in the present age. He was a type of Elijah who was to return to proclaim the presence of the Messiah. See Matthew 17:12-13 and 12; Mark 9:11-13. Luke omits this reference in the corresponding place in his gospel. Matt 17:11-13” And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things; but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist” NASB. Mark 9:11-13 “They asked Him, saying, "Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" And He said to them, "Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt? "But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him." NASB John 1:7-9 John the Baptist was initially and sometimes mistaken for the Messiah, see John 1:20 and following :“And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ." NASB Verse 8 tells us that John was not the “Light” but one who came to testify about the “Light”. This true Light, Jesus the Word, the Logos would enlighten everyone when he came into the world. Verse 10. In verse 10 we read that He,Jesus, was already in the world, so the prophecy is now news, Good News, rather than a coming event. Jesus became incarnate and entered incognito into the world which he himself had made. References: Genesis 1:1 with John 1:1 and following, also 1: John 1:1-3 and Colossians 1:15 -17. I guess we all know what the very first words in the Bible are so I will only quote the other two here. 1 John 1:1-3: “What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life. And the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us. What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” NASB Col 1:15-17: “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities;all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” NASB |
