Dear john I'm sure this is just an oversight on your part,:-) but in case it isn't.:-( Is it not the custom on this forum, to enclose copied postings with "quotation marks", and to site the source of the text from which the excerpt was taken? In failing to give due credit for the work of others, the word plagiarism rears it's ugly head, which by definition, constitutes fraud, or theft. To say nothing of the precarious position into which our gracious host the Lockman Foundation may be placed, due to the possible copyright infringement. I am sure you would not want to give the impression that you possess a superior intellect, or were erudite which would be tantamount to pride. Whenever we fail to give the credit to whom it is due, we show disrespect to everyone using this forum. We as the children of God should endeavor to be above reproach, serving God humbly, and honestly. In Gods Love YenIsaRap |

Dear Vintage I was unaware of how many places in the new testament it said something about the Generation of Jesus time. With all that scripture identifying them as "The Generation" to witness those things Jesus prophesied. Those scriptures remind me of what Paul said in 1 Cor. 10:11 Where does that put us today?

Dear Searcher The word that Vintage says is (Generation) You say is (Fruit). - ghennaymah I have been checking the Greek for definitions and spellings. The word used in your references to the verses in Mt.are (YEVVNUARA) (Offspring) Generation or Fruit. Your post from (Mt. 26:29) that word is (YEVNUAROS) which is Fruit - (Like the Grape). The definition says "(OFFSPRING); by analogy produce (literally or figuratively): - fruit, generation.)" your both right. But to tell you the truth I don't think where the context of these verses lends itself to (FRUIT) as a grape. From your question on the difference between the passage in Luke and the ones in Matthew this is what I have found. What Heidibelle posted was correct "(those living at that definite period of time)" can be defined as (generation) (age, period or persons). Within that definition there is also (born, country (-man), diversity, (GENERATION), kind (-red), nation, (OFFSPRING), stock) all of these are speaking of people and as the connector the word (OFFSPRING) taking us back to your list of Mt. verses. With that being the case (Generation) can be considered as correct. Meaning the people alive at the time of Jesus as the Generation being spoken to - of. Hope you don't mind my answering your question too. Blessings of Jesus YenIsaRap |

25 | That we may grow thereby | Matt 18:15 | YenIsaRap | 218073 | ||
I have been here but a short time therefore everyone may feel as though I have no voice in the matter. But I find fault with the last few posts in this thread. "Why did Paul do it? For conscience sake?" There have been comments made that have been neither edifying to, for, or about a brother nor uplifting for the forum in general. There is a proper way for this matter to have been handled. I have not said these things in defense of this brother. He was in the wrong. But rather for the possible betterment of the forum as a whole in the future. There are those that come here seeking knowledge do we want to show them petty bickering and strife? 2Ti 3:16,17 16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (Scripture follows) Matt.18:15,21,22 15) Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him ALONE: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 21) Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, HOW OFT SHALL MY BROTHER SIN AGAINST ME, and I forgive him? TILL SEVEN TIMES? 22) Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, UNTIL SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN. 1 Cor. 6:7 7) Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. WHY DO YOU RATHER NOT TAKE WRONG? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Matt.6:38,39 38) Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39) But I say unto you, THAT YOU RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, TURN TO HIM THE OTHER ALSO.

Dear Dhaniei The fact of there being no Christians, at the time of Matthew 12 is correct. Then you go on to say: "Jesus did have brethren and brothers, though, His people, the Jews." Mat 12:49,50 49) And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50) For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. It is clear from these two verses, Jesus was referring His Disciples, when he said brethren, and brother, it is also clear that he was not referring to the Jewish people But let us investigate as to exactly what Jesus did say to, and about His Countrymen the Jews. Mat 12:39 (EVIL AND ADULTEROUS) Mat 12:45 (WICKED) Mat 17:17 (FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE) Mat 23:33 (YE SERPANTS, YE GENERATION OF VIPERS) Mar 8:38 (ADULTEROUS AND SINFUL) Luk 11:50,51 50) That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. These were no terms of endearment used by Jesus. Not by any stretch of the imagination, could anyone come to the belief, to which you have come. This People, Nation were not, the brethren, brothers Jesus was speaking about in Mat 12:49,50 But the following scripture, does paint a clear picture of the Nation, at that "MOMENT IN TIME." Mat 27:25 25) Then answered (ALL THE PEOPLE), and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. With the People's answer to Pilate, the curse in the promise spoken to Abram, passed upon the Nation of Israel unto this day? In Jesus Love YenIsaRap |

Dear Dhaniei You say: "Throughout the NT we read, 'to the Jew first, then to the Greek'." Are there more than these, or have I missed some? Rom 1:16 16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom 2:9 9) Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; Rom 2:10 10) But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: Anyway, God has His own way of dealing with the first last issue. Mat 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. As an example of God causing this first, last event to take place, there are examples in the Old Test. Ishmael, Isaac - - Esau, Jacob - - Rachel, Leah - - Reuben, Joseph - - Manasseh, Ephraim It appears as though it is another case of God rearranging the affairs of men. Gods Love YenIsaRap |

28 | Who are "the least of these?" | Matt 25:40 | YenIsaRap | 219409 | ||
Dear Dhaniei Lets take a close look at this promise you put so much store in. Gen 12:1 1) Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. In these three verses, we can see many things. Verse 1) We see that at the time of this promise to Abraham, his name was Abram, signifying He Abram, was not Circumcised as yet, therefore he was in essence at the time of the Promise, a Heathen, Gentile, Goyim. As you pointed out about Matt. 12 there were no Christians at the writing of Matt. It is apparent in this verse, when Abram received the Promise, "There were no Jews", Chosen People, Nation of Israel, except within the loins of ABRAM. Verse 2) God promised Abram, that from him would come a great Nation, Abrams direct descendants, the Jewish People. God also promised He would bless Abram, and make his name great, and that Abram himself would be a blessing. Verse 3) God having chosen Abram, vowed to him His protection, by promising. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee. Through Abram, all the Earth would be blessed, that at the time the promises were made, "WE ALL" were in "ABRAM" both Jews, (Christians). Jews physically, Gentiles, by Faith. Therefore the Promise made, passes to "ALL" the children of "ABRAM". Be Blessed YenIsaRap |

Dear Dhaniei You say: "Why should the statement in Matthew be any different?" Because it is, completely different! Your last statement: "(Christians become included by being grafted into Israel, but the promise remains to the Jewish people.)" Being grafted in, does not make the Christians less. The natural branches were not pruned, but broken off. But this, doesn't make the Jews less. Rom 11:17 17) And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; WE BOTH partake of the Root, and Fatness. Which is Jesus, and the Father. Joh 15:1 1) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Joh 15:4,5 4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Rom 10:19 19) But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. The foolish Nation, are the Gentile believers. Rom 11:11 11) I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. A far greater Promise than the one of Protection. Rom 4:9-13 9) Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 10) How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 11) And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: 12) And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. 13) For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, (OR TO HIS SEED, THROUGH THE LAW), (BUT THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF FAITH). 14) For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15) Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16) Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the (FATHER OF US ALL), Gal 3:28,29 28) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29) And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs (ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE) 2Co 1:20 20) For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Is there truly a difference? Jews, calling themselves Messianic Jews, and Gentiles calling themselves Christians? Are they not both, two sides of the same Salvation? Messiah - - Hebrew - - usually a consecrated person (as a king, priest, or saint); specifically the Messiah: - anointed, Messiah. Christ - - Greek - - anointed, that is, the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: - Christ. Nothing wrong with a Jew, using there own language. Blessings in Emmanuel YenIsaRap |

CDBJ Everyone is entitled to there view point, being ever mindful, that the standpoint they may take on a subject, is shaded by their own prejudices, beliefs, causing their position of judgement, to be in accordance with those presuppositions. By their choosing this position at the forefront, can they then make an unbiased, accurate, assessment of a matter? Matt.7:1 - - Rom. 14:4 Blessings YenIsaRap |

Dear Lionheart Thank you so much for your input, but if you would take notice, the discussion is not an issue of doctrinal differences of any kind, nothing that divisive. The discussion comes down to, personal preference, as to what Jewish, and Gentile believers want to call themselves. When both Messiah, and Christ mean the same thing. "TRUTH" was never an issue. Therefore the differences between, Viewpoints, Standpoints, Vantage points. Which bought about the post to which you have responded. To sum it all up. Opinions are like Noses, everybody has one. Although some noses are far more prominent, while others are more diminutive than the norm, all fulfill the same function quite adequately for the person in possession of any size nose. So it is the proverbial splitting of a hair, while straining at a gnat. The outcome, will not change someone's Salvation. Blessings in Jehovah YenIsaRap |

Dear Lionheart: Let's do it like this. I say, it is perfectly alright for a Jewish believer in Jesus, to call them self, a Messianic Jew. While at the same time, a Gentile believer in Jesus, would call them self Christian. Is there any scripture to the contrary? Is there Doctrine forbidding this practice? Blessings YenIsaRap |

34 | Who are "the least of these?" | Matt 25:40 | YenIsaRap | 219440 | ||
Dear Brad Your right there is no doctrine. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in (CHRIST) Jesus. From G5548; anointed, that is, the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: - Christ. Why were they first called Christians at Antioch? Was it not because that was the universal language of the time? If the language had been Latin, then we would all be called ( Sarcalogos ) People all over the world, (excluding the Jews) using their own languages. All calling themselves Christians, only because the New Testament was originally written in Greek, not in Hebrew. Be Blessed YenIsaRap |

Dear John Thank you very much for your time in answering. So let me clarify, sorry for any ambiguity;-( How many people through faith, the power of the Holy Ghost, and by the will of God, obtained a "supernatural" healing, after only touching the hem of Jesus garment? God Bless YenIsaRap |

Dear John # 1) The woman that touched His garment. Mat 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; (THY FAITH HATH MADE THE WHOLE). And the woman was made whole from that hour. # 2) Blind man shouting, "Thou Son of David, have mercy on me". Mar 10:52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; (THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHILE). And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. # 3) The only leper out of the ten, returned giving him thanks: Luk 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: (THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE). Three different circumstances where JESUS said "Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole". Although we all understand God is always doing the healing, no matter what the mode of operation. As far as your reference to ( Isa. 53:5, 1 Pet. 2:24 ) there isn't any argument with your scriptures, the rendering of them are correct. They are speaking of the Spiritual healing, not the physical,.but the way you have placed them in this thread, they are just a case of muddying the water, your bringing apples to a topic about oranges. "Oh" by the way, my original question was only asked, because during a study I was conducting, I came across the scripture in Matt.14 it really intrigued me that I had never seen it in all of my years of reading the Bible, so I very innocently asked the question I did, in order to find out if anyone else on the Forum had ever seen it. I think from your response, you summed it up very nicely, my suspicions were correct. It wasn't a trick question, it was purely asked for information, knowledge, as any question posted should be. I always thought the woman was the only person ever healed in that manner, and apparently so did everyone else, but now we all know there were possible hundreds. I guess then in the long run, we have all learned something, and that is a good thing. When God can teach us something, it is always good isn't it? Have a Blessed Week YenIsaRap |

38 | Should "lost" people come to church? | Luke 5:31 | YenIsaRap | 218706 | ||
Dear fallen4shell There are two words we need to look at here. In defining them we will come to a better understanding. 1 SHEEP: Strong's def. something that walks forward (a quadruped), that is, (specifically) a sheep (literally or figuratively): 2 SHEPHERD: a shepherd (literally or figuratively): - shepherd, pastor. Jesus used the word sheep, in relation to His followers. Joh 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. So at this point we know we are sheep, we are fed and protected. In the spring each year the SHEEP give birth to new sheep baby sheep, that become part of the sheepfold. This happens every year, and the sheepfold becomes bigger, because that is what sheep do, they reproduce. The protector of a flock of sheep is the shepherd. There has not been at any time a shepherd, that has given birth to a sheep. He may, upon a special occasion, when a certain sheep is having difficulty birthing, that the shepherd will assist in the birth, but it is physically impossible for the shepherd to give birth to one of his flock. The shepherd (pastor) is responsible for feeding , and protection of the sheep. Acts 20:28 "Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. There may be times when a shepherd will witness to a person that is lost, (not saved) but he does this in the capacity of a sheep, not a shepherd. God bless Yen |

Dear Edd It is fully understood, Jesus is the chief Shepherd. Nobody is taking anything away from Jesus. 1Pe 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. But look at the basic component of this question, in this thread, should unbelievers come to church to get saved? My illustration, is a description of the dynamics of birth in the natural world, an example from nature so to speak. Jesus used the metaphor of sheep, and shepherd, I just filled in the blanks.
