2 | exactly how was jesus crusified | John 20:25 | vkey | 14809 | ||
hi Christine! if you read John, during the crucifixion, the guards came to break the legs of the crucified victims(probably to hasten their death). but when they came to Jesus and finding he was already dead, they just pierced his side, where blood and water flowed(water refers to the Holy Spirit). traditionally, crucifixion, means hanging the person on a cross with their hands nailed to the wood. this was prevalent in the Roman days. Again after Jesus rises from the dead, he appears to Thomas and says "put your fingers in my nail marks in the hand and feel my side". from this we know the Jesus was nailed in the cross and pierced in the side as well. it was also prophesied in the Old Testament days by the prophet "they looked upon the one they pierced" (i'm not sure which chapter and verse). you can ind all these in the Gospel of John starting from the crucifixion. i hope you know more about our brother and Lord Jesus Christ. vkey |

3 | Perhaps we found God's purpose in life | Deut 29:29 | vkey | 14202 | ||
hi Pent! from what i have come to understand, God did not create the universe and all of us because he ws feeling lonely or he wanted someone to love Him. all of his creations until man, showed His power and wisdom. but to show His everlasting love, He created man. so it was not he created man so that man could love him but so the He can love man and to show the extent he'll go to love him by sacrificing His only begotten Son. this may be only half true but as the above verse Deuteronomy says "the secret things belong to the Lord our God", so only He knows the full reason. |

4 | How human-like is God | Exodus | vkey | 13637 | ||
In the New International Version Exodus 33:20, God tells to Moses you cannot see my face and live but you can only see me from behind (in Exodus 33:30, when Moses wants to see the glory of God). Man definitely looks like God since he was created in His image. we can know that God has a face, hands and feet. so no one knows how he really looks. but since Jesus looked the same after the Resurrection we can conclude God or rather we look like Him. more over since Christ himself became human he did go through all emotions like hunger(temptation into the wilderness), pain, sorrow (Gethsamane), joy. but his emotions were based on more serious things like spirituality unlike us. he was angry with the pharisees stubborness, he was amazed at the people in his hometown of their lack of faith and he was amazed at the centurion's great faith. he also wept at Lazarus' death. some people say he cried also because the people didnt believe that He could raise him from the dead. e also longed for Jerusalem to come to him like a mother would do to her children. So God does know what we r going through and that's all the more to our benefit. hope that had answered your question. |
