901 | Jesus' temptation | John 1:32 | prayon | 17518 | ||
Each of the gospels is told by a different person and each of these persons stressed a different aspect of Jesus. Matthew presents Jesus as the mighty king. It emphasizes on the Power of Christ and is presented in a teaching style. Mark presents Jesus as the obedient servant. It emphasizes the service of Christ and is the narrative gospel and is full of action. Luke, who was a doctor, wrote about the Son of Man. His gospel is carefully documented and emphasizes the sympathy of Christ. John's gospel is considered the spiritual gospel and emphasizes the wisdom of Christ. Some did go into the temptation because of these differences and some didn't. prayon |

902 | Why the angels? | John 1:51 | prayon | 8263 | ||
The ladder pictured here is Jacob's ladder also mentioned in Gen 28:12. The ladder is symbolic of the way for us to get to heaven - through Jesus Christ. My question is why were the angels ascending and descending? | ||||||
903 | Whatis needed in a relation with God? | John 3:3 | prayon | 70546 | ||
Greetings Bluecow25, To have a relationship with God communication is the key. You must pray and talk to Him more than just daily. There must be a intimacy in the relationship. We are told to pray unceasingly. Another important key is that you must trust Him above all and put Him first above all. He wants to be the main focus in your life. When you put these things into practice you will know His voice and you can hear when He speaks to you. prayon | ||||||
904 | Free from Israel and their God | John 3:16 | prayon | 109171 | ||
Greetings, Imagine 2 colors, black and white side by side. That's the way it is with Jesus. Either you accept Him or you don't. There is no gray area, you can not just pay Him tribute when you want. I don't need to free you from Him, you are quite capable of making your own decision. It is your choice whether you decide to walk with Jesus or not. Jesus never said that being a Christian was easy, in fact He promises us that we will face persecution. But The benefits far outway the short time here on earth that we will be facing perscution. I urge you to way the consequences carefully. You appear to know the bible so I think that you know what you will face eternally withouut Jesus. Today is here but tomorrow is never promised. prayon |

907 | Saved vs. Works (John 5:24 and 5:28-29) | John 5:24 | prayon | 60636 | ||
Greetings Bubba, Jesus was not teaching justifacation by works. In the context the "good" is believing on the son as to receive a new nature that produces good works, while the "evil" done is to reject the Son (the unsaved) and hate the light which has the result of evil deeds. In essence, works merely evidence one's nature as saved or unsaved, but human works never determine one's salvation. In these verses Christ was talking to the Jews. Hope this answers your quesions. prayon | ||||||
908 | What reduced the crowds to just a few? | John 6:66 | prayon | 8146 | ||
Nolan there were a few reasons why the crowds dwindled: 1)Many realized that Jesus wasn't the conquering king that they had expected. 2)Some were upset because they wouldn't give in to their self-centered requests. 3)Jesus emphasized faith not works. 4)His teachings were hard to understand. 5)Many of his words and teachings were offensive. prayon |

909 | Did Jesus change His mind? | John 7:8 | prayon | 7156 | ||
I believe that He did not go up to the feast with the disciples because He did not want to be the center of attention since His time had not come yet. According to the Life Application Bible commentary it states that Jesus had the greatest gift but he acted secretly because He knew that the religious leaders hated Him and the more He taught publicly the more trouble the religious leaders would make for Him. It was necessary for Him to teach as quietly as possible so that the trouble would not be stirred up prematurely. Another point to ponder is maybe Jesus acted secretly because the religious leaders had a lot of power over the Jews. If the people were warned off by the leaders before they heard Jesus message then they might not of gone to hear Him at all because of that fear. I think he did just want to go up alone and told His disciples it was not His time yet bcause it was not His time to go public full force. prayon |

910 | Flow out of WHOSE innermost being? | John 7:38 | prayon | 33488 | ||
Greetings, In the previous verse the Lord cried out "If anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink." In the verse you are referring to the antecedent "his" is referring to the person who thirsts and goes to Christ for a drink of that living water. When he drinks in the water then out of his heart will flow more living water. The more we drink the greater our river will be. prayon | ||||||
911 | what is the role of the HS in my life? | John 7:39 | prayon | 110817 | ||
Greetings becky272 and welcome to the forum, You have found a great place to have your questions answered. To look at these passages we must include v. 37. Jesus is making an appeal here, "If anyone is thirsty let him come to me and drink". "Blessed are those who thirst after righteousness will be filled" (Matt 5:6). What ever you seek after will fill you. If you seek after worldly things then worldly things will be what fills the inside of you, but if you seek after God and the HOly Spirit that is what you will be filled after. In verse 38 it says "out of his (your) belly (innermost being) will flow rivers of living water. Here, Living water, running water, which the Hebrew language calls living, because it is still in motion. This water represents the HOly Spirit which has come to fill you. In the Old Testament God was for the Israelites and was with them but in was not in them. God is for us and with us today but we also have something better - He is actually in us - the part of God that is in us is the comforter Jesus sent us - the Holy Spirit. The graces and comforts of the Spirit are compared to living (meaning running) water, because they are the active quickening principles of spiritual life, and the earnests and beginnings of eternal life. Jesus promised immediate inner and permanent personal satisfaction. Believing on Jesus results in having living (moving) water within one's being (Joh 4:14 But those who drink the water that I will give them will never become thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give them will become in them a spring that gushes up to eternal life.") This promise directly refers to the coming of the Holy Spirit to swell within believers. The promise was fulfilled historically at Pentecost (Acts 2), and applies to every believer. He didn't come to visit for a few days. He came to dwell in you. As for what He wants to do in your life, When you were saved or born again the HOly Spirit entered your life. One thing is He came as our guide. When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth. He won't speak on his own. He will speak what he hears and will tell you about things to come (Joh 16:13), not only will He guide us into all truth but He will also guide us in the truth of God's word. He will also guide us in life. Look to Him to give you direction. Whatever decision you have to make throughout the day - from what shall I wear to where should I go today ask the Holy Spirit. That is what He is there for - to give you direction. When you are sad or troubled ask the Holy Spirit for comfort - He will give it. That is what he is there for. I have a question for you. Do you feel a peace inside of you? If you do that is because the HOly Spirit lives in you. There is so much more to know about the HOly Spirit - I have only scratched the surface. If you click on my name it will give you my profile. My e mail address is on my profile. Feel free to use it please. I would consider it an honor to correspond with you and encourage you and answer all your questions. May God bless you and keep you. prayon |

912 | should I marry him? | John 8:11 | prayon | 145010 | ||
Greetings dfalise, You will find that scripture in 2Co 6:14: Stop forming inappropriate relationships with unbelievers. Can right and wrong be partners? Can light have anything in common with darkness? prayon |

914 | Did Jesus back up His claim in Jno 8:58? | John 8:58 | prayon | 5102 | ||
Yes, He did. He backed it up every time He proved himself to be the Son of God. What He was saying is that He existed before Abraham was born. He also applied Gods Holy name to Himself. That is why they tried to stone him. | ||||||
915 | Holy Spirit | John 9:1 | prayon | 73117 | ||
Greeings Mike, I think I understand what you are asking - if not let me know. You are right the man that Christ healed did not have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit did not come onto the scene until the day of Pentecost. What healed the man was his faith that he could be healed and the fact that Christ had the power to do so. People today do not have the faith that they had before. Many don't know how to believe with such depth. In order to receive a miracle you have to have the ability to receive. You don't have the ability to receive if you don't have the faith top receive. prayon |

916 | Does Jesus HIMSELF specifically state... | John 10:11 | prayon | 132388 | ||
Greetings Sienna, Yes, He does. In John 10:9-10 Jesus says that He is the door and anyone who enters by Him will be saved. He goes on to say that he has come that they may have life and have it more abundantly. To understand that He is saying that He came to die so that we could live is to understand that the whenever there is sin there must be a blood sacrifice in order to make attonement for that sin. In the OT the people sacrificed animals for the atonement. Christ became our lamb who went to the cross and died so that we could be free and live. Verse 11 also reinforces this when He says I am the good shepherd and the good shepherd lays down His life for His sheep. prayon |

917 | John1-:1-18 and Psalm 23 | John 10:14 | prayon | 72060 | ||
In both references you gave they are talking about Jesus. In John Jesus is talking about Himself, letting us know that He is indeed our shepherd. In Psalm 23 David progressively tells of how the shepherd will watch over us. prayon | ||||||

Sweet, see my reply to the other question you asked. prayon | ||||||
919 | what is the parable of the lost sheep? | John 10:16 | prayon | 47871 | ||
Greetings, In addition to what Mommapbs said I would like to add that the parable also tells us in Matt 18:13 that just one "stumbled" or "lost" soul is so precious that even as the Jewish shepherd would leave the flock of 99 sheep in the care of an undershepherd to seek one stray lamb, so Jesus, our Good Shepherd has come to "seek and to save". In the case of the Jewish shepherd, seeking in the mountains and the hills was so strenuous and challenging that when he finally found the sheep he was happier over the one who was found than he was over the 99 safe ones. So our Good Shepherd rejoices when we come home to Him. prayon | ||||||
920 | What does "gods" mean here? | John 10:34 | prayon | 47729 | ||
Greetings K80, In response to the discussion that Jesus was having with the Jews at the temple he referred them to Psa 82:6 "I say, You are gods, children of the most high, all of you..." (See also Exo 4:16; 71). He was referring to the judges of Isreal. They were called gods because they represented God in executing judgement. Jesus pointed out that God has always delegated Hes power and authority to chosen members of His people in such a way that they could be called "gods" in their own right. The "gods" of Psa 82 appear to be unjust leaders who neglected to uphold righteousness. Here He is again referring to the judges of Isreal. prayon |
