921 | John11:7-16 | John 11:10 | prayon | 72676 | ||
Greetings Sweet, You are close but these verses have a deeper meaning than that. If you read verse 8 it tells you that the disciples were worried about Jesus going back to Judea where the Jews wanted to stone Him. If you stay in context it is then referring to Jesus remaining safe. Jesus said as long as He performed His Father's will (during the daylight period of His ministry) He was safe. But soon the time would come when His earthly work would end according to God's plan of redemption and Jesus would "stumble" into darkness. Jesus was telling them that as long as He was doing His Father's work, even this late in His ministry, He was safe and no harm would come to Him no matter where He went. prayon | ||||||
922 | John 11:35 Why did Jesus wept | John 11:33 | prayon | 53525 | ||
Greetings, According to the MacArthur Study Bible His tears were not generated out of mourning since He was to raise Lazarus, but out of grief for a fallen world entangled in sin-caused sorrow and death. prayon | ||||||
923 | Brotherly love, primary? | John 13:35 | prayon | 4714 | ||
Wow - talk about "hitting the nail on the head!" I think that everyone should read your answer. I also believe that a list of guidelines or intentions should be read as part of the sign-up process. It is so true that people have been nit-picking over trivial issues and denominational bias'. We truly need to remember that Jesus should be the head of this forum and before we place any question, note, or answer on it we should make sure in our own heart that the comment glorifies God and also that we have phrased it with the respect and love that He would use in answering. One of my biggest concerns on the forum is that someone who believes he/she knows the true word but has been deceived (ie. some sort of false religion) will mislead some of those who are not truly grounded in the word. However, the only answer to that is that God is in control and nothing will happen that He doesn't ordain. |

924 | Johova's Witness | John 14:6 | prayon | 24966 | ||
Absolutely Not!!!!! As Nolan stated Jehovah's Witnesses is a very dangerous cult. What I want to address is since this person is a friend of yours you will, I believe, want to witness to her/him. I suggest that you go to your local Christian bookstore and get a book or pamphlet on how to witness to a Jehovah's Witness. A cult member has usually been brainwashed and will start to confuse you if you are not extremely careful. A book I reccommend is by Robert Kern, How to respond to... The Jehovah's Witness. It explains their doctrine compared to the Christian doctrine and also gives you questions that you can ask them to begin to witness to them. One example of a question is: "Jehovah's Witnesses sat that Jesus rose from the dead. Yet they do not believe that His body, soul, or spirit rose. They just say that 'He rose.' Ask: Who is the 'He' that rose?" If you would like to have more sample questions you can contact me using my personal profile. prayon |

925 | does the holy spirit dwell in us daily? | John 14:16 | prayon | 166826 | ||
Greetings James Glenn and welcome to the forum! 1) According to John 14:16 Jesus said that He would give us a comforter and He would be with us forever. The Holy Spirit is that comforter. However, the Spirit is not with all men but only those who are believers according to John 14:17 ( The world cannot accept him, because it doesn't see or know him). 2) The Holy Spirit lives within us. We were not able to receive the Holy Spirit until Jesus sent Him to us at Pentecost. The Holy Spirit was with them in the OT but He lives in us now. 3) Adam was created in the image of God just as we are today. 4) First we must define what exactly a prophet is. According to Webster: PROPHET 1. One that foretells future events; a predicter; a foreteller. 2. In Scripture, a person illuminated, inspired or instructed by God to announce future events; as Moses, Elijah, David, Isaiah, ect. You are correct in saying that that is a false statement. The scripture reference is Acts 2:16-17: "In the last days, God says, I will pour my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will speak what God has revealed. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour my Spirit on my servants, on both men and women. They will speak what God has revealed." This scripture therefore clearly reveals that there will be prophets in the end times which is what we are in today. prayon |

926 | Where's speaking in tongues - in context | John 14:26 | prayon | 148585 | ||
No it doesn't specifically say tongues, When you pray in tongues you are very aware of the Holy Spirit which is dwelling inside you. It is very easy when we are not conscious of His presense to become irratated or frustrated, but the more you let Him show His presense verbally the more aware you are of Him. prayon | ||||||

928 | What is Secular Humanism? | John 15:5 | prayon | 15259 | ||
Humanism is a thought or attitudinal perspective rather than a specific belief system. After the time of the NT church, certain Christian leaders attempted to harmonize the Greek preoccupation with human reason with Christian teachings concererning the deity of Jesus Christ. In doing this they hoped to make Chrisitanity more palatable to potential converts in the Greek world - but in fact they did violence to Scripture and were responsible for some of the most destructive heresies ever to trouble the Christian church. The authors of these heresies, however, unwittingly moved teachers faithful to the Scriptures to prepare explicit confessions of faith still treasured by orthodox believers today: the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds. During the period referred to as the Dark Ages (Ad 476-1450), human reason continued to be elevated. The philosophy known as Sceular Humanism claims to offer hope to a world in crisis by proposing a new world religion that has no God. Based on ethical ideals that are to be developed scientifically and technologically through faith in the :innate potential" of every human bbeing. Secular Humanism asserts the human capacity for self-realization through reason. The thoughts, attitudes, and way of life vased on Secular Humanism were expressed in A Humanist Manifesto (1933) and expanded on in Humanist Manifesto II (1973). This anti-God philosophy continues to surround Christians every day through the printed and electonic media of contemprary culture. It constantly challenges out belief in God and promises found in His Word. (From: How to respond to Secular Humanism by Philip H. Lochhaas) prayon |

929 | Friends outside of website? | John 15:13 | prayon | 72069 | ||
Greetings dat. As Reformer Joe said it is not against the rules. I must warn you though to do so with care. It is always dangerous to tell someone where you live and how to find you that you don't know. Just because someone is on the forum does not make them a Christian. There have been so really weird people with weird ideas make comments here. People will masquerade as Christians if it will serve their purpose. I suggest that you contact them or have them contact you at your email address and get to know them better before you give out personal information. prayon | ||||||

931 | do you keep dreams to yourself? | John 17:17 | prayon | 135200 | ||
Greetings, There are many people who experience what you are experiencing. You have exercised wisdom in seeking to know biblically what to do. I would tell you to seek the advice of your pastor. Tell him the dreams (or visions) you are having let him give you the direction that God would have you to go. God may be preparing you to be used mightily in the days to come. prayon | ||||||
932 | crucifiction discrepensies? | John 18:37 | prayon | 146965 | ||
Greetings 1way, First you have to remember that there were 4 different people writing the gospels. Each gospel is written in a different style with a different focus. Luke being a physician was more aware of details than the others therefore his book will be much more detailed. John's book focuses on the Diety of Christ. In His answer in John, John goes into more detail because the diety of Christ was being discussed. Different books will focus on different aspects of the same conversation or event. This is what was happening here. The Tables: The two times you mentioned (in Matthew and in Mark) are one in the same. The other instance you were referring to is in John 2:13-17. This was on the Passover at the beginning of Jesus ministry. Because the Jews never recognized the authority of Jesus as the Messiah. Instead they rejected His message making repeated cleansing of the temple highly probable. Hope this answers your questions. prayon |

933 | Why not James, Joses, Simon or Judas | John 19:26 | prayon | 66148 | ||
We know that Jesus had brothers and sisters (Matt 13:55-56). So then why did Jesus tell John to take care of His mother instead of letting His brothers do it? prayon | ||||||
934 | Why did He accept wine the second time? | John 19:30 | prayon | 5011 | ||

935 | napkin | John 20:7 | prayon | 133739 | ||
Greetings, The handkerchief or face cloth laying seperately from the rest of the linen cloths showed 2 things. First the orderly arrangement of everything in the tomb marks the absence of haste and was plainly the effect of thought, care, and composure; and clearly showed, that the body was not taken away in a hurry, or by thieves, since everything lay in such order and decency; and which was done, either by our Lord himself, or by the angels. The second thing that it showed is a contrast between the resurrection of Lazarus and that of Jesus. Where as Lazarus came forward from the grave wearing his gravecloths Jesus was glorified and was able to pass through the gravecloths much the same way as He later entered the locked room. prayon |

Yes, John was the believer. We believe this because John was the only one who mentioned it in his gospel. prayon |

938 | Did Jesus ascend during the 8 days | John 20:17 | prayon | 146982 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. There is much contraversy on that point and the bible does not specifically say. It is my belief that He did. Christ said in this verse to not touch Him because He had not yet ascended to the father. But yet in John 20:27 He tells Thomas to touch Him therefore He must of already ascended to the Father. For other view points you can type the verse into the quick search in the upper left corner. prayon |

939 | John 20:23 | John 20:23 | prayon | 176984 | ||
Greetings azurelaw, In this verse it does not refer to a single person but instead it refers to the church as a whole. In Matt 16:19 Jesus gives Peter (and by extension all other Chrisitians) the authority to declare what has been loosed in Heaven. This echos ghe promise of John 20:23 where Christ gave the disciples authority to forgive or retain the sins of the people. This must be understood in all context of Matt 18:15-17 where Christ laid out specific instructions for dealing with the sin in the church. When putting all these verses together it tells us that any duly constituted body of believers, acting on the authority of Gods word, has the authority to declare if someone is forgiven or unforgiven. For example if the church says an unrepented person is bound in sin the church is saying what God's word says about that person. No where in the bible does it support that we ever memorize someone elses sins or that we retain the sins of someone by not forgiving them. Hope that this helps. prayon |
