284 | help with understanding mark 7:27-30 | Mark 7:27 | ebrain | 163702 | ||
One of the reasons our Lord spoke to the woman in this way was to reveal that Gentiles were often found to have more faith in Him than His own kinfolk the Jews, who ought to have known better. |

285 | What does "remaining in Him" really mean | Mark 15:5 | ebrain | 179030 | ||
1Jo 3:9 every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten The above is "Young's Literal Translation", and as far as I am aware gives the correct interpretation of what John intended his readers to understand. I see no problem with this verse as I believe it to refer to the new nature that all christians have, and the new nature cannot sin, however, we all still retain the old nature as well, and that cannot do anything but sin. Paul recognized this problem, and describes it in some detail in Romans 7:14-25. His conclusion is "So then with the mind (the new nature) I myself serve the law of God, but with my flesh (the old nature) the law of sin". I trust this will be of help to you. ebrain. |

286 | Jesus laying down of His powers | Luke 5:22 | ebrain | 163297 | ||
Read Phil 2:5-13. Jesus limited himself to the limitations that we all have, so that he could show us how God intended us to behave towards the Lord in the first place. To find out just how this is done, see how he did it, by reading the following verses of Scripture. John 1:18. 5:19 and 30. 7:16-17. 11:41b-42. 14:8-11, especially verse 10. Acts 2:22. and John 20:21-22. Not my will, but thine be done. I hope that this is of help. May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. Edwin Brain. |

287 | Jesus laying down of His powers | Luke 5:22 | ebrain | 163352 | ||
Jesus knew the Pharisees thoughts, because His Father revealed them to Him, this the Father was able to do because Jesus allways maintained an attitude towards His Father of "not my will, but thine be done", however, it dose not follow that if you do the same that you also be able to read other peoples thoughts. All that you would be doing, is giving God permission to use you in any way He may wish. The manner in which He manifests Himself through you, and what He reveals to you, is entirely up to Him. |

289 | Can a Christian blaspheme | Luke 12:10 | ebrain | 178299 | ||
No it is not possible as the only way to become a christian is to believe the Holy Spirit's conviction of your sin, and your need to be saved. Only the unconverted can commit this sin, as they are calling Him a lier, and as a result will go to Hell. ebrain. |

290 | Matt 25:12 not know them?why | Luke 13:23 | ebrain | 164810 | ||
Have a look at Matthew 7:23. where Jesus says "I never knew you", whereas at 25:12 it is "I do not know you". In both cases He is saying, you do not believe in me, you are not saved. It is just His way of saying, I never entered your body in the person of my other self, the Holy Spitit. He is employing the Biblical use of the word "Know" as demonstrated at Gen 4:1, where it is written "Adam knew Eve his wife, and she concived", which refers to the entry by one person into the body of another person. |

293 | amplifeid bible of luke 17:34 | Luke 17:34 | ebrain | 163801 | ||
Read also Matt 24:40. in that part of the world where it gets very hot from mid day onwards, work outdoors was only done in the morning. Two in a field therefore refers to the morning, Two grinding at the mill refers to indoor work because it was too hot to do work outdoors, and Two in a bed refers to night. What our Lord is saying in fact is that when He returns (which will be at one moment in time), that because of the shape of our earth, it will be morning in one place, afternoon in another place, and night somewhare else. I hope that this is of some help to you. |

294 | father forgive them; they do not know | Luke 23:34 | ebrain | 170655 | ||
What do you require a sermon for? the words speak for themselves. It's the same today,the unconverted do not know what they are doing, nor do they understand Scripture, see 1 Cor 2:14. If the Lord choses to convert them, then that if a different matter. |

It is true that many christians are to some extent ignorant of our Lord's teaching, that however, is not what is happening here, Jesus is asking for forgivness for the ones who were killing Him, not however the Jewish Leaders, who knew full well what they were doing. |

Thank you WOS for your post. In reply, let me ask you three questions. (1) When the high priest asked Jesus "are you the Christ", why did He not answer "yes", as he told us we must do, see Matt 5:37, but said "You have said so",? see Matt 26:64. (2) When the people at Matt 12:23, said "Can this be the Son of David", why did the Pharisees respond in the way that they did? see Matt 12:22-32. (3a) have a look at John 11:5-6, and tell me how can staying two days longer show Jesus's love for Lazarus, and his two sisters? (3b) Why did Jesus say at verse 15, "I am glad that I was not there"? |

Thank you WOS for your reply. 1. Mark is only giving the gist of what Matthew, and Luke had to say at this point in the text. In Luke 22:70, in the ESV, it reads "You say that i am",and in Matthew 26:64, in the ESV, it reads, "You have said so". This in no way disagrees with Mark who is only giving a summation of what Jesus said, ie, Mark is saying that Jesus's words amount to an admission that He is indeed the Christ, and this could just as well be expressed by the statement "I AM", which in fact is what He was claiming anyway, even if He used different words. I believe that what our Lord intended to convey was that He knew exactly what they had said about Him in private, behind closed doors, ie, that they knew very well that He was in fact the Christ. "You have (past tense) said that i am". Now dealing with No's 2, and 3. The Pharisees taught that anyone could perform miracles who was empowered to do so by the Holy Spirit (Matt12:27), but that there were certain miracles that only the Messiah when He came would be able to preform. These miracles included, clensing the leper, (several instances), opening the eyes of a person born blind,(John 9:1-34), casting out a dumb spirit, (Matt 12:22-32), and raising the dead when that person had been dead at least three days, this last one explains John 11:5-6. and also verse 15. I hope that the above is of some help in explaining my view point. Every blessing. Edwin Brain. |

Hi again WOS. Sorry for the delay, have a look please at John 20:30-31. Now Elijah performed miracles, but was not the Christ, Elisha performed miracles, but was not the Christ, Moses performed miracles, but was not the Christ. John says at v31 "But these" refering to what I have said before, certain miracles that only the Messiah when He came would be able to perform. John makes it quite clear that Jesus performing "these" miracles prove beyond any shadow of doubt that He is the Christ. Now please read the whole of Ch 9 of John. What had our Lord done, but to give sight to one born blind, a good deed, there is no Scripture forbidding doing good deeds on the Sabbath, so why were the Pharisees so extreem, so over the top in there opposition to Him, even going so far as to excomunicate the one who had his sight given to him? Note v32, and also v41, where our Lord uses the words "blind", and "see", with the meaning of knowledge, in other words "You know very well who I am, and therefore "Your guilt remains". All scripture references are from the ESV May the Lord bless you WOS, and all who use this web site. pabrain. |

300 | did jesus decend into hell and retriev | Luke 23:46 | ebrain | 167369 | ||
No He did not. the Scripture normally quoted to indicate that He did is 1st Peter 3:18-20, but this only refers to the Spirit of Christ in Naoh preaching to the people who were alive in Noah's day, but who are now in prison, see also 2nd Peter 2:4-5. Don't forget that Jesus said "It is finished" before He died, therefore no need to go to Hell. |
