Ray, I see the gift as being Jesus Himself and the salvation He offered the women through Him. But many was of the thought, of that time, they should expect a regal and royal entrance of the Messiah, for she did know that the Messiah was to come, but not one of a lowly stature. But Jesus opened her eyes and she called the neighbors to come to Him and many believed. terrib |

Greetings and Welcome Winniejesusfreak, Mary Magdalene and Lazarus' sister are not the same Mary. For they are from different towns. One from Magdala and the other from Bethany. Luk 8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, (Mary of Magdala) Not the sinful woman in Luk 7:37, as some have thought, whose name is not mentioned. And not the woman that the Pharisees brought to Jesus that was caught in adultery in John 8:3 as in the movie "The Greatest Story Ever Told", that's Hollywood, not Bible. Joh 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. Joh 11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) (Mary of Bethany) See also, "the other Mary"(Mat 27:61) at the cross, see my post 146859. Here is a list and references of the Marys (From Nave's Topical Bible). 1. The mother of Jesus: General references Mat 1:16; Luk 1:26-38; Luk 2:5-19 Visits her cousin Elizabeth Luke 1:39-56 Attends the feast at Jerusalem with her husband and her son, starts on the return, misses Jesus, seeks and finds Him in the temple Luk 2:48-51 Is present with Jesus at a marriage in Cana of Galilee Joh 2:1-10 Seeks Jesus when He is teaching in a house Mat 12:46-47; Mar 3:31; Luk 8:19 Present at the cross Joh 19:25-27 Is committed to the care of John Joh 19:27 Dwells with the disciples in Jerusalem Act 1:14 Prophecies concerning Isa 7:14; Luk 2:35 2. Magdalene: Possessed of devils, delivered by Jesus Mar 16:9; Luk 8:2-3 Present: At the crucifixion Mat 27:56; Mar 15:40; Joh 19:25 At the sepulcher Mat 27:61; Mat 28:1-7; Mar 15:47; Mar 16:1-7; Luk 23:55-56; Luk 24:1-7; Joh 20:1; Joh 20:11-13 Recognizes Jesus after the resurrection Mat 28:8-10; Mar 16:9; Joh 20:14-18 3. Sister of Mary the mother of Jesus, and wife of Cleophas: General references Joh 19:25 Mother of James and Joses Mat 27:56; Mar 15:40; Joh 19:25 At the sepulcher Mat 27:61; Mar 15:47 Assists in preparing the body of Jesus for burial Mat 28:1; Mar 16:1 A witness of the resurrection Luk 24:10 4.

105 | Jesus wept !... did Jesus ever laugh? | Luke 10:21 | terrib | 147399 | ||
The marriage in Cana: A marriage festival is a very gala event. I can't imagine Jesus, The Lord of Grace, being a stick-in-the-mud. The gayety and happiness for the bride and groom would be intoxicating at such an event. As others have said, sometimes one would have to read between-the-lines in such cases. (John 2:1-2 KJV) "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage." And, because He was "called", or invited, Jesus and-or His family were friends with either the groom or the bride. And friends, especially in those times, where friends, not just acquaintances, you are always happy for your friends and responded in like manner. And I can't see Jesus, with a sober face, saying, (Luke 15:7 KJV) ..."that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth..." or (Luke 15:10 KJV), "...there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Following the character of Christ, it is apparent, even through unwritten Scripture, that He was human also and knew and did things as we do; cry, laugh, be sad and ... be full of an unspeakable joy. So, in a way, I see the passage, "Jesus wept", as a mixture of sorrow and gladness. Sorrow, because of the weeping of His friends and gladness because The Father has given Him the opportunity to show the masses that were assembled to see and witness the Glory of God, His Mercy and Greatness and declare and illustrate the truth of the resurrection that was in the Christ. terrib |

Dear Figoyuen, This is the second time you brought this question before the forum. This must be of great concern to you. Maybe you could tell us why you think your prayers are dull. In your previous question 2 years ago,(question ID number 85736) you were comparing your prayer to others. Are you now talking about private devotional prayer or public prayer as in giving thanks to the Lord? I think we might need a little more information. You have not responded to any of the forum's responses and it would be invaluable for us to hear if you have learned anything from these? Our concern is still for you and for your edification!

107 | why did jesus ask the man for his ring? | Luke 18:18 | terrib | 150643 | ||
Greetings nofirststone, The story of the rich man: Luk 18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Luk 18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. Luk 18:20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. Luk 18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. Luk 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. Luk 18:23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. Luk 18:24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Luk 18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Luk 18:26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? Luk 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Luk 18:28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. Luk 18:29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Luk 18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. (This story also appears in Matthew 19:16-30 and Mark 10:17-31) There is no mention of a ring. Since you remember this from a book in the fourth grade I can only summize it was in a childs book and the author may have embelished a little since the man in the story was a ruler, he probably did have expensive jewerly. Hope this helps, terrib |

108 | Is their only one Mount of Olives? | Luke 21:37 | terrib | 149225 | ||
Greeting Loran James, Mount of Olives: So called from the olive trees with which its sides are clothed, is a mountain ridge on the east of Jerusalem (1Ki 11:7; Eze 11:23; Zec 14:4), from which it is separated by the valley of Kidron. It is first mentioned in connection with David's flight from Jerusalem through the rebellion of Absalom (2Sa 15:30), and is only once again mentioned in the Old Testament, in Zec 14:4. It is, however, frequently alluded to (1Ki 11:7; 2Ki 23:13; Neh 8:15; Eze 11:23). It is frequently mentioned in the New Testament (Mat 21:1; Mat 26:30, etc.). It now bears the name of Jebel et-Tur, i.e., “Mount of the Summit;” also sometimes called Jebel ez-Zeitun, i.e., “Mount of Olives.” It is about 200 feet above the level of the city. The road from Jerusalem to Bethany runs as of old over this mount. It was on this mount that Jesus stood when he wept over Jerusalem. “No name in Scripture,” says Dr. Porter, “calls up associations at once so sacred and so pleasing as that of Olivet. The 'mount' is so intimately connected with the private, the devotional life of the Saviour, that we read of it and look at it with feelings of deepest interest and affection. Here he often sat with his disciples, telling them of wondrous events yet to come, of the destruction of the Holy City; of the sufferings, the persecution, and the final triumph of his followers (Matt. 24). Here he gave them the beautiful parables of the ten virgins and the five talents (Matt. 25); here he was wont to retire on each evening for meditation, and prayer, and rest of body, when weary and harassed by the labours and trials of the day (Luk 21:37); and here he came on the night of his betrayal to utter that wonderful prayer, 'O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt' (Mat 26:39). And when the cup of God's wrath had been drunk, and death and the grave conquered, he led his disciples out again over Olivet as far as to Bethany, and after a parting blessing ascended to heaven (Luk 24:50, Luk 24:51; Act 1:12).” This mount, or rather mountain range, has four summits or peaks: (1.) the “Galilee” peak, so called from a tradition that the angels stood here when they spoke to the disciples (Act 1:11); (2.) the “Mount of Ascension,” the supposed site of that event, which was, however, somewhere probably nearer Bethany (Luk 24:51, Luk 24:52); (3.) the “Prophets,” from the catacombs on its side, called “the prophets' tombs;” and (4.) the “Mount of Corruption,” so called because of the “high places” erected there by Solomon for the idolatrous worship of his foreign wives (1Ki 11:7; 2Ki 23:13; Vulg., “Mount of Offense”). From "Easton's Bible Dictionary" Names for: Josephus frequently uses the expression “Mount of Olives” (e.g. Ant., VII, ix, 2; XX, viii, 6; BJ, V, ii, 3; xii, 2), but later Jewish writings give the name, “Mount of Oil”; this occurs in some manuscripts in 2Ki 23:13, and the common reading, “Mount of Corruption,” margin “destruction,” may possibly be a deliberate alteration (see below). In later ages the Mount was termed “the mountain of lights,” because here there used to be kindled at one time the first beacon light to announce throughout Jewry the appearance of the new moon. To the natives of Palestine today it is usually known as **[Jebel et Tur] (“mountain of the elevation,” or “tower”), or, less commonly, as **[Jebel Tur ez zait] (“mountain of the elevation of oil”). The name **[Jebel ez-zaitun] (“Mount of Olives”) is also well known. Early Arabic writers use the term **[Tur Zait], “Mount of Oil.” Olivet comes to us through the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) Oliverum, “an oliveyard.” From "International Standard Bible Encyclopedia" ** Items in brackets [] are shown characteristically as close as possible given the font structure this forum allows, for some of the characters are of greek origin. Your question:"In other words, could the term "Mount of Olives" refer to more than one physical location?" If we are talking in the vicinty of Jerusalem, no. Hope this helps, terrib |

109 | Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 | John 3:5 | terrib | 110444 | ||
Dear Huron, You are correct, John 3:5 has nothing to do with water baptisim. The subject of the dicussion between Jesus and Nicodemus is birth, not baptism (or works). And the explanation of John 3:5 is in John 3:6, first birth is of the flesh (water, thus the term "my water broke") and the second birth (spirit) is of the Spirit. This is a prime example of taking things "out of context". Nicodemus sets up the dialog by asking, John3:4 "... can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" And staying with that subject, fleshly birth or mother's womb, Jesus responds with ""Except a man be born of water"...(that fleshly first birth from the womb)". No water baptism is implied but there is a renewal or a regeneration involved by the Spirit. Peace terrib |

110 | wjhat are the qualifications being | John 3:16 | terrib | 149506 | ||
Hello Rainey, Welcome to the forum, Your inquiry: "i am looking for more scripture on how does one get anointed or has the anointing as a child ofGod." Perhaps we should do a little history first. The priest of the tabernacle is spoken of as “anointed” Exo 29:7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him. Lev 4:3 If the priest that is anointed... Lev 8:12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. A most significant application, not to sacred things, but to certain sacred persons. The oldest and most sacred of these, was the anointing of the king, by pouring oil upon his head at his coronation, a ceremony regarded as sacred from the earliest times, and observed religiously in Israel: 1Ki 1:39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon. 1Sa 16:13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward... Among the Hebrews it was believed not only that it (the anointing) effected a transference to the anointed one of something of the holiness and virtue of the deity in whose name and by whose representative the rite was performed, but also that it imparted a special endowment of the spirit of God: Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; This is why there is profound reverence for the king and priest as sacred persons, “the anointed”. And, Jesus, the King of Kings, being anointed of the Father, also proclaimed the above verse (Isa 61:1). And this same Jesus has proclaimed us as kings and priests: Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Rev 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Therefore we are anointed). So, to answer, "how does one get anointed", would be to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved. Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Now, concerning the balance of your question appears to have something to do with the "visible" manifestations of the anointing. As you stated, the Spirit (or the anointing of the Holy Ghost) will move on (in) individuals as He sees fit and in His own time to accomplish that which He purposes. Some of these events are quite visible, as in Act 2:14-36, when Peter boldly preached Jesus by quoting the prophecy of Joel and the words of David. Also the anointing with oil of a cloth to heal the sick, the power is not in the oil but in the faith toward God and this is shown by the use of it. As in James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Finally with, "why some are anointed and some aren't", as in your question, I would conclude that: Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit (the anointing) is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit (the anointing), let us also walk in the Spirit. And most important: Gal 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. For some have desired this glory, but without belief: Act 19:14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. Act 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? Act 19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Many preachers or teachers like Kenneth Copeland have done series on "The Anointing", but as we (the redeemed) are kings and priests, to love the Lord with our all and to be faithful is the most important thing we can do. You can see a mother's love when she cradles her infant and caresses it. Does she love her child less when it is asleep and she is doing the dishes? We do not see the anointing unless we are in action. terrib |

112 | why doesnt god have the power? | John 3:16 | terrib | 150108 | ||
Hi Matt, The very first essential thing to remember is that God is Holy.(Lev 21:8) Therefore, since God is Holy, He cannot lie and will not go back on any covenant that He makes. In other words, He cannot get out of a deal that He has made. "why is it, that if he loves everyone, that those who dont follow him go to hell?" In Genesis, He was with Adam and put it to him this way, "Look Adam, I have made you and put you in this beautiful place and you can do whatever you wish. The only thing I ask is you do not eat of this one tree. All these other things are yours for the taking. The first couple could do what they wanted, they could choose to play with the lion or the bear or a lamb and enjoy being gardeners and just enjoy life with God that God had given them. But, there was a contract, and since God made them, what could they do but accept the contract. Well, we know how the story goes, don't we. Man broke the contract. So, how do we repair what was done. Well, we can't, but God does love us so much He says, I will help them and give them another chance. I will give them my Son for an offering for their sins. (John 3:16). If they believe in this offering that I am giving them I will accept them back into the relationship that we first had and give them another chance and give them even more. I will send My prophets and preachers to them, Enoch, Noah, Moses, Elijah and more to let them know how to live rightly. I will show them great wonders. I will feed them and clothe them if they follow Me. But, I am still under My contract, "That the soul that sins will die, the contract I made with Adam." They have the choice between Good and evil. "how come satan has a lot more power as far as who gets saved goes?" Satan does have the power to bring things into our lives, example, Job, but we have the final say as to the choices we make. Job chose not to curse God even with his wife's nagging about it (Job 2:9). The willfulness of an evil life happens because the spirit or the conscience of the wicked has been seared shut (1Tim 4:2). Like an open wound, one would get a hot iron and close the wound, well that is what some have done with their conscience, they have sealed it up inside that they no longer listen to their own inner guide. They have become reprobate (without conscience thought of anything Godly), (Rom 1:28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind..."). Again is comes to choice. God is continually calling, preachers are still calling, the forum is still calling and this continiual calling is the love of God, calling and calling, but some will not hear, so the contract must enforced. Does this help any? terrib |

Greetings Starfire, 1Jo 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. These are to be loved, as men, as fellow creatures and their good, both spiritual and temporal, is to be sought and good is to be done to them, as much as lies in our power, both with respect to soul and body, yet their company is not to be chosen and preferred to the saints, but to be shunned and avoided as being disagreeable and dangerous. Their evil conversations, and wicked communications, are not to be loved but abhorred and their works of darkness are to be reproved. Nor are their ways to be imitated, and their customs followed or their manners to be conformed to. Why? 1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. When one is saved and the Word of God is freshly implanted in our hearts, if we continue to pal around with the world, (see the parable of the sower: Mat 13:18-26), the association with that world can have a terrible affect on our lives: In the Old Testament, God warned His people not to take a spouse from other nations because those spouses would have an impact on the Israelites by bringing into their relationship some of the old customs and would pollute their relationship with the Lord. And sure enough, over a little time, the children of Israel started to worship some of the old gods of these spouses.(Judges 3:5-7) We are to love the men of the world, but not the world or the realm or the surroundings or the life-style they live in. And some of our old friends before our conversion will wag their heads and wonder why we don't pal around with them anymore.(1 Pet 4:4) I don't know the context that that TV preacher was talking about, not having the Holy Spirit in you if you don't understand the Scriptures, but your very question here, on this forum, proves you have the Spirit in you, else you would not have asked. Understanding the Scriptures is a life-long process. Paul says that some Christians are babes and this is because there is a growing process. The Scriptures are a living testament and we get daily strength from them and we grow. Paul also says that some Christians require milk, because the deeper things of God are not readily understood until we put aside some of the more basic carnal concerns.(1 Cor 3:2) It is good and a great sign that you had concerns for what that preacher said for it shows you that the Holy Spirit enlightened you that what he said was not quite right. For this is part of the working of the Holy Spirit, to enable us to discern these things. You wrote: "I know the Holy Spirit is within me, but am I somehow doing something wrong". This is a very good example of the way that the Tempter comes and tries to rob us of our faith, by planting the seed of doubt and turning our eyes on ourselves. Although it is good to search ourselves for any bad thing that we may still be holding onto from the world we once lived in. Psa 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: Psa 139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. In the verse: "he shall teach you all things", we didn't know how to use multiplication until we were taught how to add. Ask, and grow in the Spirit daily. Your brother, terrib |

Hi Matt, Now we are straying into a realm that this forum is not intended for. Counciling should be between God, you and probably your pastor. But, if Ben is your friend, let him see Christ living in you. And don't push. He will see something in you that he doesn't have and God will draw him. (Joh 6:44) "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." Live your life in front of him honestly and live your life out of his sight honestly. If you are hypocritical, he will see it. Other than this, I would talk with your pastor. And keep praying for him. terrib |

116 | Can anyone tell how he understand that? | John 6:54 | terrib | 150197 | ||
Greetings Jeanpierrelibre, Welcome! Concerning John 6:54: The subject matter has its start with (John 6:25) when the people were looking for Jesus and asked Him how He got across the sea. And Jesus perceived that they came for food (John 6:26). Thus starts a basis for the subject that your verse has to do with (the bread of life). John 6:27 - don't labor for things that perish. John 6:28 - then What shall we do? the people ask. John 6:29 - they were to believe in Him that God sent. John 6:30-31 - Then the people ask, If you are from God what can you do, for we follow Moses because he gave manna from heaven. Jesus then explains to them them that He is the Bread of Heaven and whomever partakes of Him shall not die. This continues down through (John 6:51) were Jesus tells them that He shall give His flesh and spill His blood for the world. And (John 6:53) except we partake of Jesus (believe in Him) we will not have eternal life. Therefore in John 6:54 Jesus is not saying that they should eat His body and drink His blood literally, but He is talking to them spiritually about accepting Him that He has come into the world to save the world by being the sin offering for us. And Jesus proclaims that what He has said is spirit and not flesh in John 6:63 "...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." The manna the Jews talked about only reserved and supported life, it did not preserve and perpetuate life, much less restore it; but Christ gives life to those that are dead in their sins. The manna was ordained only for the life of the Israelites, but Christ is given for the life of the world; none are excluded from the benefit of this Bread of Heaven. If we believe. Therefore, eat My flesh and drink My blood are words of spirit and should not be taken as literal canabalism. By the way, this event should not be confused with the institution of the Lord's Supper. But Jesus uses these same symbols, His flesh as the bread, and His blood as the wine, at that supper. They are spirit and life. Hope this helps, terrib |

118 | Did Jesus Fulfill Feast/Tabernacles? how | John 7:2 | terrib | 149461 | ||
Welcome Jordan33, The Scriptures do not tell us just exactly when Jesus arrived at the feast. The festival was at hand. He sent His brothers to keep the ordinance. But He didn't go with His brothers because they didn't believe Him (John 7:5) and they would have made a spectical of Him (John 7:4)"...shew thyself to the world." But, after His brothers left, He went also.(Joh 7:9-10 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.) Note: "he went also". Jesus's time was not yet full, He had yet more work to do before He was to be delivered to Jerusalem. Some have stated that His brothers went up early to be cleansed from touching something unclean which would have taken seven days, therefore the delay in Jesus' going for He was not unclean. Then, we see Him at about the middle of the festival teaching in the Temple (John 7:14). Then we see Him in the last day of the festival (John 7:37) preaching to the people. This should show us that He did fulfill the seven days per the ordinance. (Deu 16:13-15) terrib |

120 | difference between samaritans and jews | John 8:48 | terrib | 153708 | ||
Hi poverton, Samaritans The name given to the new and mixed inhabitants whom Esarhaddon (677 B.C.), the king of Assyria, brought from Babylon and other places and settled in the cities of Samaria, instead of the original inhabitants whom Sargon (721 B.C.) had removed into captivity (2Ki 17:24; compare Ezr 4:2, Ezr 4:9, Ezr 4:10). These strangers (compare Luk 17:18) amalgamated with the Jews still remaining in the land, and gradually abandoned their old idolatry and adopted partly the Jewish religion. After the return from the Captivity, the Jews in Jerusalem refused to allow them to take part with them in rebuilding the temple, and hence sprang up an open enmity between them. They erected a rival temple on Mount Gerizim, which was, however, destroyed by a Jewish king (130 B.C.). They then built another at Shechem. The bitter enmity between the Jews and Samaritans continued in the time of our Lord: the Jews had “no dealings with the Samaritans” (Joh 4:9; compare Luk 9:52, Luk 9:53). Our Lord was in contempt called “a Samaritan” (Joh 8:48). Many of the Samaritans early embraced the gospel (John 4:5-42; Act 8:25; Act 9:31; Act 15:3). (Easton's Bible Dictionary) terrib |
