Greetings, I agree with you the King James Version is beautiful but many people can not understand it. I never recommend it to a new believer. May I suggest the New King James Version which is much easier to read or the New International Version which is also very popular. Many blessings to you for this undertaking! prayon | ||||||

708 | Question on Matthew 10:23 | Matt 10:23 | prayon | 90520 | ||
Greetings Chusarcik, in reading the whole passage (16-23) it is clear that He can not be talking about a time whil he is still alive because until His death they were totally shielded from persecution. Jesus took all the persecution and opposition on Himself. Various commentaries interpret that this verse can either mean the time period after pentecost while others put an eschatological significance on it that it is talking about prior to and during the tribulation. The one I like the best is the International Bible Commentary that says that it is telling us that the work of carrying His gospel to the world will not be completed by either the apostles or those prior to us or by us today. prayon | ||||||
709 | Am I understanding right? | Matt 10:23 | prayon | 90644 | ||
Greetings, yes. The bible tells us that Jesus won't come until the gospel has reached everyone and I don't need to mention how much persecution the disciples went through after pentecost or how much persecution missionaries go through today taking the word to all parts of the world. prayon | ||||||

712 | Matt11.2 Why did he ask this?He knew! | Matt 11:3 | prayon | 89291 | ||
Greetings Clare, The MacArthur study bible says that understandably confused in the things that were happening. He was imprisioned, and Christ was carrying on a ministry of healing instead of judgement. John had preached that those who rejected Jesus would be baptized with fire, but Jesus was carrying on a ministry of mercy and grace instead of asserting His messianic claims. He also wondered why was he still in prison. John was confused about the first and second comings of Christ. Christ understood this and sent him a message that comforted him. Isn't it great that when we get confused that Christ understands and sends us the comfort we need? prayon |

Hank said it perfectly - surely my brother you jest! If this far fetched situation did happen however I would suggest that Tom and Jerry stop acting like cats on the hunt and instead be as quiet as mice until they read and absorb Matthew 6:3-5.....prayon | ||||||
714 | What is Christ's rest? | Matt 11:28 | prayon | 13034 | ||
People were heavy-laden and weary from carrying around their burdons of sin, excessive demands of religious leaders (Acts 23:4), oppression and persecution, and plain worry. A yoke is a heavy wooden harness that fits over the shoulders of an ox or oxen. In Jesus day a man would by an ox and take it to a carpenter who measured its shoulders and made a yoke to fit. Jesus was probably thinking back to his days as a carpenter when he used this anology. If a yoke wasn't fitted properly an ox was sure to of suffered badly, but Jesus always made the yoke to fit perfectly. Oxen were sometimes yoked together to pull the load or do the work. Christ made our yoke to fit together with Him perfectly so that He can help us with our load and give us rest. His yoke will fit us easily. When we become Christians we are immediately yoked together with Him. When we are yoked together with Him he shares our load with us and if we run out of strength he can let Him pull the entire load. We no longer have to bear our burdens alone. Therefore when we are yoked together with Him we have the ability to rest and let Him carry our many burdens. We will come short of entering God's rest when we keep some of our burdens instead of giving them to Him entirely. If we carry any of our own load of burdens we can not have rest. According to the Old Testament the Sabbath was a day of rest (Exo. 20:8-11). You were not to do any work whatsoever on a Sunday. You were even forbidden to carry more than a pound (which means you could take a pen to church but you couldn't take your bbible :o)..) In Heb 4:9-11 we are told again to give our burdens to Christ and rest, but it our choice whether we enter into that rest. |

715 | having to work the sabbath | Matt 12:1 | prayon | 33806 | ||
Greetings Dino, I disagree. The 10 commandments state "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy", (Exo 20:8-11). We are no more rid of this commandment than we are any other commandment. We are still to remember the sabbath and we are to keep it holy. The reference you are referring to in Matt. 12 concerns the words that the priests had with Jesus because he allowed His disciples to pick grain on the Sabbath. Ordinary people were not allowed to do any work on the Sabbath, not even light a fire. The priest's work however doubled on the Sabbath (see Num 28:9-10). Therefore what Jesus was saying is that God's service takes precedence over Sabbath rules. The argument is that if priests who work in the temple on the Sabbath are guiltless because they further the worship of God, how much more are the disciples guiltless because they are serving Christ and obeying Him in their actions on the Sabbath. This exchange in no way deletes the Sabbath. prayon |

Greetings Brac, Being a nurse, I too, have to occationally work on Sunday. I want to refer you to the reply I made to Dino concerning what he said in reply to your question. Also, whoever needs to work on the Sabbath should set aside one day of their choosing and make it a day dedicated to God. Exo 20:9-11 tells us that we are to work 6 days but the 7th day is a Sabbath (the observance of a day or time of rest: Funk and Wagnalls Dictionary). Any day can be our Sabbath it does not have to be on Sunday. prayon | ||||||
717 | having to work the sabbath | Matt 12:1 | prayon | 33810 | ||
No I am not. Exo 20:9-10 tells us that we are to work 6 days and the 7th day is to be a day of rest which we are to dedicate to the Lord. This day does not have to be on Sunday if you can not dedicate this day to the Lord because of work. We are told to take one day a week and dedicate a day to the Lord to worship Him and reflect on His goodness and mercy. I, as a nurse, have to do this on other days besides Sunday. prayon | ||||||
718 | Disbelief after witnessing a miracle? | Matt 12:13 | prayon | 48317 | ||
Greetings chynna, Good question! First you must remember that the Pharisee' were only religious on the outside. The only thing that they were concerned about was their own agenda. When they saw Christ heal the man's hand they immediately saw him as a threat to their way of life and religious leadership. They knew that they would loose their status in the community. Isn' it interesting that men who saw healing as being a sin on the Sabbath saw no sin in plotting a murder on the Sabbath? prayon |

719 | Is Beelzebul or Baalzebub Satan? | Matt 12:27 | prayon | 5616 | ||
Beelzebub was a god worshipped by the Ekronites. The original form and meaning is unclear. Originally it may of meant "lord of the lofty abode" and then because this god was considered by the Hebrews to be a unworthy rival to Yawweh, it may of been revised to "lord of the flies" (Baalzebub). Later it was altered even further to Beelzebul which means "lord of the dung". In the intertestamental period numerous names were used to designate the leaders of the forces of evil one of the names selected was Beel-zebul. In the New Testament Beelzebul is believed to be the chief of the demons (Satan). Beelzebul is also a name that the scribes derisively applied to Jesus upon His healing of a demon-possessed person. Jesus made clear that His actions were intended for the kingdom of God and were performed in opposition to the kingdom of Satan, (Matt. 12:24-27; Mark 3:22-26; Luke 11:15-19. This may be where the name Beelzebul became associated with Satan as it was never identified in the Old Testament with the devil or Satan. (Harpers Bible Dictionary and Eerdmans Bible Dictionary.) |
