"The context is discipline ... tho I have seen others say it is prayer, service and other things. That would mean He would not be present unless (only) two or three were there ... He would not be there if it was just you ... or more than three." TEXT COPIED FROM BIBLE GATEWAY SCRIPTURE SEARCH OF THE TEXT IN THE NASB: Discipline and Prayer 15 "(1) If your brother sins[1] , go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 "But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED. 17 "If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18 "Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. 19 "Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. 20 "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." God bless |

I am glad you now see the context is discipline ... and prayer is what man thinks, but since "prayer" "pray" ... is not in the text or context ... the person is wrong. | ||||||

Not exactly Searcher, That was your statement, ""The context is discipline ... tho I have seen others say it is prayer, service and other things. That would mean He would not be present unless (only) two or three were there ... He would not be there if it was just you ... or more than three." This text is dealing with both discipline AND prayer. The scripture actually says, 18 "Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. 19 "Again I say to you, that if two of you AGREE on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. 20 "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." You said, "That would mean He would not be present unless (only) two or three were there ... He would not be there if it was just you ... or more than three." No, when scripture is rightly divided we know He promised to never leave or forsake us and that the Holy Spirit would abide in us. So what did He mean? I believe the answer can be found in the following verses.. Ecclesiastes 4:11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. When two or more agree in prayer, their prayer is much more powerful..why? because they stand together and are less likely to fall prey to the lies of the adversary. God bless |

Scripture ... Matthew 18:15-20 ... That is the context, you keep on leaving out verses 15-17. Moreover, you still have not shown me where "prayer" is in the context of this passage ... do not cite man ... cite only Scripture. I'll not listen to you on this matter until you prove, within the context of Matthew 18:15-20 ... even the whole chapter ... that there is prayer. I believe there is at least one OT cross reference (Deu 19:15-17). |

"That is the context, you keep on leaving out verses 15-17." No, I have stated that these verses are dealing with discipline. You said... "Moreover, you still have not shown me where "prayer" is in the context of this passage ... do not cite man ... cite only Scripture." When did I 'cite' man? I did cite scripture, but you can not hear. The notes were my understanding of the scriptures which IS part of a Bible study is it not? You have done so quite frequently and so far you have not given scripture for some of YOUR conclusions. Such as Paul using the foreign languages on his many missionary journeys...This is assumption based on your conclusions, not scriptural fact. Where do I find 'prayer' in this text? Any two agree on earth about anything they may ASK. Asking is praying,asking who? The prayers are directed to God because He is the one who responds. This is prayer. 19 "Again I say to you, that if two of you AGREE on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. 20 "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." Also, if you will notice apparently the NASB translaters agree because their 'header for this text is Discipline and Prayer. As for the remainder of the chapter it deals with forgiveness. "I believe there is at least one OT cross reference (Deu 19:15-17)." Yes, this is applicable to verses 15-17. God bless |

Point out the specific verse and word where prayer is mentioned. You still have not. You did cite man when you cited the title for the passage "Discipline and Prayer" or the opposite. | ||||||
