1 | Who is the we in John4:20 | John 15:1 | KINDNESS | 15071 | ||
Hi Ray, What is this personal copy you keep refurring to?? Are you rewriting the Bible according to you or what? What is the purpose of asking Q's based on your rewritten copy of God's Word?? If we are not all looking at a standard translation of the Bible how can we ask and answer Q's? I use the NKJV most of the time. NASV is a good English version. I don't always trust the NIV or Living. How long have you been a student of the Bible? What kind of training have you had to help with interpretation? Please don't take my Q's to be critical. I just would like to know your background. Contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. Kindness | ||||||

4 | What or Who is wisdom? 1 Cor 1:30 | John 15:1 | KINDNESS | 14725 | ||
Thanks Steve for that observation. I think you are right. But how I think of it for myself is that when I am obedient to the Word of God and walk in the Light, Christ becomes my wisdom, He lives in and through me sharing His wisdom with me so that I have the mind of Christ 1 Cor. 2:16 available always to me. Unfortunately I am not always obedient nor do I always understand or discern what His will is, to follow. I guess it takes lots of practice. In the Col.1:15-17 vs. I was trying to make a connection between Prov.8:30 "the master craftsman" and Christ being the Creator of all things. All the persons of the Godhead were involved in Gen.1 but in the NT Jesus Christ gets the credit. Do you think in Prov. 8 we have wisdom personified? Why is wisdom spoken of in the femine gender? Is it a Hebrew language thing? Waiting for your input. Thanks. Kindness |

5 | Who is our Savior? Titus 1:3,4 | John 15:1 | KINDNESS | 14722 | ||
YES!!! Steve that is exactlly what I was hoping someone would see. In Isa.43:3,and following we have the God of the OT declairing that He is the only Savior. "I Am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior" is "I Jehovah am thy God (Heb) Elohim." So if we conect that with the "I Am's " in John's Gospel don't we see God revealing Himself in Jesus as the Jehovah of the OT to the Jew first and then to all others who will believe? I like your 1 John ref. If the Father sent the Son then He also is the Savior and equal with Son, correct? When Jesus said" before Abraham I Am " He was claming to be equal with the Father and that is why they sought to kill Him, John 8:58.... Thanks Rey for that verse in an other note. Kindness |

Ray were these verses submitted by you? Good observation. Are you writing out your own copy (corrected copy) of God's word? My copy is becoming the RED EYE copy. This is the most fun I have had in a while. How comforting to know that the Spirit of God abides with us and is in us to guide us into all truth. I have a Q. to submit about the book of Titus. Look for it next. Kindness |

Nolan you are gracious. I wasn't sure my Q went through so I hit again and again. Ray was the one who first raised the Q. about truth. Go Ray. Kindness |

8 | Who is the we in John4:20 | John 15:1 | KINDNESS | 14694 | ||
Greetings Sandman, I do believe you misquoted John 4:22. Doesn't it read "you worship what you do not know"? Not We etc. I do agree with you about the salvation part refering to Jesus who was a Jew/ Savior/ Lamb who takes away the sins of the world not just the Jews. Thanks for your participation. It is encouraging to know that there are believers out there that enjoy a good sword drill. Smile. Kindness | ||||||
9 | In John 18:38 Did Pilate want truth? | John 15:1 | KINDNESS | 14692 | ||
Nolan, What an encouragement to see you tie it all together just the way the Lord has for me. One Spirit ,one Lord, one Truth and one faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. What a blessing to be called into the preciuos Body of Christ. God bless and keep you. Kindness | ||||||

11 | Who is the we in John4:20 | John 15:1 | KINDNESS | 14655 | ||
Great! I am sorry that I gave the wrong referance. The verse I wanted to know about is John 4:22 "You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews." Could you give me insight on that verse please? I agree with you about attitude being the point of what Jesus is getting at. I think Rom.12:1,2 goes well with the worship theme don't you think? Kindness | ||||||
12 | Who is the we in John 4:20? | John 15:1 | KINDNESS | 14653 | ||
Thanks very much . That is wonderful to know. I appreciate your answer. I gave the wrong verse. I was looking at John 4:22. Is the we in that verse? Thank you , Kindness |

13 | Isn't Jesus Christ the True Isael to who | John 15:1 | KINDNESS | 14622 | ||
Hi Ray, I never meant to say that Jacob was the true Vine. What I was saying was that the promises regarding the Kingdom that were given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their seed were ultimately given to and fulfilled in the Seed spoken of in Gal.3:16. And when Jesus Christ came He was the true Israel to whom all is given and to whom all the promises of God are given and fulfulled. Therefore it is not necessary for the nation of Israel to be restored in order for God to fulfill all His promises to Israel. Jesus Christ is the true and final Israel. He is the true Vine and in Him all the promises are Yes and Amen. He is the David who will reign on the throne forever etc. Do you agree with this??? I will submit another Q. about John 4:20. Look for it. Later, Kindness |

Hi Ray, I did address that passage in one of my notes to you. It was nearly 30 years ago when I realized that God looks on the heart to find a true worshiper. Attitude seems to be a major part of worship. When I realized that location was not important but single mindedness and yeildedness was all important it changed my whole life. Rom.12:1,2 is the key to being in touch with the living God. We are channels through which the Lord can manifest Himself if we are yeilded and ready to serve Him and others by His power. John 17:17 seems to identify the "truth" for me. We must worship according to God's word for Him to receive it ,don't you think? That along withHeb. 4:12 and Phil.2:5 and following. True worship takes place whenever we are obedient to the word of God out of a heart of love and gratitude to God for His love,and mercy. Maybe Heb.13:15,16 is the key to worship. Ps 22:3 tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people. What do you make of that verse? Waiting to hear back from you. Later,Kindness | ||||||

Hi Ray, Well that was an ear full. You are right that it was a blessing for Jacob to come out of that "match" alive cosidering the other Person was his Creator. I think Jacob was humbled in the sence that by giving his name as Jacob (what do you say it means?) he was confessing that the blessing he got from Isaac was by deception and invalid. His mom was told that the younger would be chosen over Esau and receive the blessing Gen.25:19-28. But Rebekah and Jacob scheamed together to get it because they didn't understand God's ways or trust Him to intervene to carry out His promise. So in Gen.32 I agree jacob was scared and knew he was in trouble but he also knew unless God blessed him his father Isaac's blessing was of none effect. In nameing Jacob, Israel God was telling us and him that there was a heart change in Jacob, I believe. At that point in his life he became dependant upon God and trusted God would fulfill His promise in Gen.25:23 is the way i see it. Israel later became the name for the 12 tribes that made up the nation through which God would send the final promised One Jesus Christ the Messiah through whom all the promises of God are fulfilled. Do you agree with this? You may be right about Jacob not realizing that in his flesh dwelled no good thing since that is found in the NT after the Holy Spirit was given. But can any of us have an encounter with the living and true God without seeing the difference between what is Holy and not Holy? Without God in out lives we can not produce any good thing by God's standards. Correct? I appreciate your imput Ray. It gives me somthing to meditate on as I go through my day. Keep in touch. Kindness PS When you say Jacob "earned" a name change what do you mean? Do you believe in GRACE as in Eph. 2:8-10 or do you believe we earn blessing and salvation by our good works? |

Hi Ray, I don't quite understand what you mean when you say it was a tie between God and Jacob. I believe what happened at Peniel was Jacob was owning up to getting his father Isaac's blessing by trickery and realized if God didn't bless him he wasn't really blessed at all. So by saying his name was Jacob which means skeamer, surplanter,or some even say crook, Jacob had come to the place of honesty and desired only God's blessing which is the only one that counts and can only be gotten by humbling one's self. What do you mean by the wrestling match ended in a "tie"? It looks to me like God won because humbled himself before God. Jacob gave his heart to God and realized "in his flesh dwells no good thing", just like with Paul. John 4:20-23 is an interesting passage indeed. I love how Jesus gets to the point here, that true worship is not a matter of place but attitude and focus on the one true living God and Father of all who are born of God. "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24. Is this the point you wanted to make? There was a time when that whole idea was unknown to me. I was a Roman Catholic and thought that "where" I worshiped was most important. But thank the Lord my Savior He showed me the truth and I am free. Ray are you an English teacher? I love Johm 6. Have you compared Jn.6:46 with Matt 11:27? And then we find the way of that revelation Matt.11:28-30. It all comes back to humility and being teachable. Jesus humbled Himself Phil.2:5-11. Thanks Ray for directing my attention to John 4 and 6. What did you want to share from these verses? Waiting, Kindness |

Hi Ray, Thanks for not pointing out my spelling errors. Yes I do like the KJV and the NKJV. I used the word grid maybe inappropriately. What I was getting at is If Jesus Christ fulfilled all the requirements of the Law and the promises were made ultimately to Him like in Ps. 2:7,8, then in my mind Israel (the Jews) have fulfilled their purpose in being the people through whom the Lord would bring forth the Messiah. So now the focus is on the Lord Jesus Christ as the One to whom all the OT promises whould be fulfilled. No one else is worthy. Rev.5:4-9. Only those who acknowledge Christ as the only worthy One and repent before Him become by faith God's chosen people wheather they are Jew or Gentile. So maybe there is no plan to restore the Jews as a nation etc. I have friends that are Jews and dearly love them but it saddens me to know they reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah. When I use a capital it is useally for emphises. I do believe True Vine is appropriate since it refers to the God/Man Jesus. In Zodhiates dictionary Israel is number 3478 and it says "he will rule as God" In the text it says "thy name shall be no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed". Anyway I believe when God changed Jacob's name he became a type of the Lord Jesus who when He came on the scene He didn't have 12 sons but chose 12 apostles and established a new kingdom in which is both Jew and Gentile Made one through faith in Christ. I need to get ready to attend a memorial service in the morning so must go for now. I have enjoyed the exchange about the scriptures. Hope we can continue later. Kindness God bless. |

Thank you for yor responce. In Isa.5:1 Israel is refered to as God's vineyard but yeilding wild grapes. Jesus comes and redirects our attention from national Israel to Himself as the true vine, bearing good fruit. In the wilderness there was a tabernacle and later a temple. In John 1:14 the Word becomes flesh and tabernacles among us. In Matt. 21:43 says "Therefore I say to you,the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it." And in Matt. 23:37-39 where Jesus weeps over Jerusalem and says "See. Your house is left to you desolate,..." Gal. 3:16 says "Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say "And to your seeds, as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ. and in 2 Cor.1:20 says "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes and in Him Amen, to the glory of God." I'm sure you are familiar with all the evidence that Jesus is the long awaited Son of David, the focus of the whole Word of God. Jer.31:31 speaks of a New Covenant which Jesus ushered in at the Last Supper, Himself the Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. I believe that world is made up of those who believe in Him as their personal Savior. The Peter reference is 1 Peter 2:4-10 where I believe it is clear that the nation of Israel is replaced by those in Christ. See also Rom.9:6-8 the seed of promise is again Christ and those in Him by faith. Eph. 3 is another place. Read the whole chapter. The name Israel was given first to Jacob in Gen.32:22-28 and means "Prince with God" or ruling w/ God. In Isa.9:6 we have the Messiah being called the Prince of Peace. Well Ray I hope this helps you understand better my perspective on Rom.11:1 Thanks for asking. I don't think of the nation of Israel which has always been a mixed multitude was ever the true vine. But Jesus refers to Himself as the true Vine in constrast to them because they thought of themselves as untouchable and above the Law w/o the fruit to go with their favored postion. What a warning to all of us who have a simular mindset. Let me know what you think. Kindness |
