101 | Empty inside being a Roman Catholic? | James 2:17 | serenetime | 28314 | ||
Catrose62, I wouldn't be so bad but the catholic are one's to not allow their members to think for themselves. Of course you are to believe what they say to believe in. But what is that saying? You don't have a mind for yourself. They idolize the Pope and he is just a man. You're suppose to confess your sins to a priest and then he translates these confession to the pope and he is the intercessor to God to get forgiveness. Please, do you know how much that this is elevating man?? Jesus came to earth in a man body, but it was God. God so loves us that he sent his son, it says, but it is him in a human body, with the spirit of God. With man and trusting in man only, man will fail you every time. Man is not perfect. So, then you're to elevate Mary above Jesus. It's the same thing again elevating man over God. Yes she was blessed to concieve Jesus, but no more, and certainly not to the extent that Catholics believe. They actual worship her. Gee, sounds like the Pope. We all have free will and God gave us an intellect to search and read the scriptures for ourselves.The problem is is that you actually have to work at it, but you will be blessed beyond measure. i know it's hard to leave what you have been led to think was right for so long, but get the heck out of there. I'll be here for you. In Love of the true Word. Serenetime | ||||||
102 | Johova's Witness | John 14:6 | serenetime | 28313 | ||
Sunflower, You need to know that even the so called elders of the Jehovahs Witnesses do not think for themselves. All questions are to go to the Watch Tower society to answer if it's not a question they can answer. They are brain washed like other so called cults and I'm sorry they totally supress women and make other ethnic backgrounds to believe they are beneath them by claiming it's scriptual.To the extent that they are like slaves and not worthy of thinking for themselves. I know. My husband and I had an elder coming to our house for many months and he finally left and never came back when he was confronted with a question where when he went to the watchtower society, and he never returned. We called him and he said he would not be coming back, and gave no explanation.It just goes to show we all need to seek and know the word for ourselves and nothing can sway us. Serenetime | ||||||

Shell, In Rev.1:20, it says that the candlesticks are the churches, and then in Rev.11:4, it says these are the two candlesticks. Gee, why are the two candlesticks (churches) still around? I see no rapture there. Serenetime | ||||||
104 | What pastor or church can be trusted | 1 Sam 3:1 | serenetime | 28309 | ||
Shell, If you study the word in depth and know what the word says and you are grounded, then you will not be swayed to believe hogwash. These sole called teachers thrive on unknowledgeable christians who are lazy and who are looking for a feel good doctrine. Jesus tells, us there will be false prophets in Matt 24.Also check out 2 Tim 4:3-4. It's up to us to know. Serenetime | ||||||
105 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 28307 | ||
Nolan, What about Matt.27:3-5 Then Judas which had betrayed Him,when he saw that He was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4) Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood." And they said, " What is that to us? see thou to that 5) And he cast down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and departed. It seems to me that Judas repented of what he did. If Paul being a murderer of Christians before he was knocked off the ass by Jesus was saved, then Judas was also forgiven and saved. If not, then I guess we haven't been saved either. It says he repented, he realized what he did. He had a change of heart. Isn't that enough?? Serenetime | ||||||
106 | What is salvation? | Ps 68:19 | serenetime | 28304 | ||
Charis,Salvation is first in Romans 10. Notice verse 4, For Christ is end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. Rom.10:9,10, If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10) for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. But also 11, it says "whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. But in verse 16, Isaiah says "who hath believed our report". verse 17, So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. In Acts16:30,31 it says "And brought them out and said" Sirs what must I do to be saved." verse 30, And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Eph 2:5 "Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Luke 1:74-80 That he would grant us, that we being delivered out of the hand of the enemy might serve him without fear. 75) In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 76) And thou child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways; 77)To give knowledge of salvation unto His people by the remission of their sins, 78)Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 79) To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." 80) And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. I truly believe that you can confess with mouth, but if you don't know what you are confessing then how can you be saved. Saved from what? Rom.10:17 explains that faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Yes, confession without knowledge is the first step, but it's up to the teachers to teach the true meaning of salvation. We as teachers are responsible to teach his word so then all know his true salvation from sin and that the enemy no longer hath dominion over them, and God's love and tender mercy through grace giving them power and confidence to endure to the end. Trusting in Jesus every day and him dying on the cross. Is it instantaneous as in confession and not knowing what you're confessing to. It's gradual, and in getting to know why you are saved and from what. So when at the judgement, Jesus doesn't say, depart from me, I never knew you. Serenetime | ||||||

108 | Forget and reach for what? | Phil 3:13 | serenetime | 28288 | ||
Mommapbs, It would be best to read the whole chapter to understand what is being said here. Obviously Paul is saying is that what is past is but dung verse 8, but what he is saying that in the flesh and the things he used to do in the law is but dung, that through the excellency of through Jesus Christ he counts all what is before is worthless, so forgetting what lies behind and looking forward to what lies ahead. Like when we are saved, all past is washed away, behold all things are new. we have a new start. I hope this helps. Don't linger on your past, you are now a new creature. Serenetime | ||||||
109 | Can all be saved? | 1 Cor 5:5 | serenetime | 28287 | ||
Sandre, In 2 Peter 3:9 it says, the Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsufferig to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Verse 10 but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. I am brought back to Judas in Matt.27:3-6 where yes he did betray Jesus but repented of his act and suffered the death. See anyone can be saved, it takes a change of heart whether it be Judas or anyone. In Luke 22:3 it says that Satan had entered into Judas, but even though Judas repented and therefore he was saved. No matter what we have done and where we have been we all can have salvation through Jesus Christ. God is no respecter of persons. I hope this has been helpful. Serenetime | ||||||
110 | Living with the world's hatred?? | John 17:14 | serenetime | 27922 | ||
Seeking Wisdom, I really feel your pain. I too like many others have to deal with the rejection, and yes it can get to you. But remember what Jesus endured when he was here, and yet he didn't sin. He would wipe the dust off his feet and move on, and he had to walk for miles and miles. He loves us so much that he couldn't waver, and it's that love for us and praying and seeking and trusting God daily is what kept him going. Putting himself in harms way at every turn he would be confronted with anger, unbelief, jealousy and ridicule. People couldn't phathom in their minds and heart that here's this man teaching, and telling them something that so foreign, so hard to believe, but many hearts were changed and many did believe and were set free. It's no different now. Our world is so corrupt and so many hearts have waxed cold toward one another and have become numb and calloused that they don't feel anything. Everyone for themselves, and get out of my way. Then you and I and other's come to tell them that there is a loving god and loving saviour who came and endured and suffered the torture and pain before and on the cross for mankind so we could have hope in this world. But now because of what happened on Sept. 11, many are having there eyes opened to the fact that life is temporary and that tomorrow is really not promised to us. And each and every day it's getting worse. We need to build up our faith and trust Jesus to speak through us when witnessing to other's with a love this world has never felt before. We as human beings only know a glimpse of the Father's Love, but Jesus through us, and not us trying to do it can see person's heart's soften and there is something about the love they have never felt before and that many have wanted to feel. Trusting in only ourselves always gets us in trouble, because then here come's the insecurity and lack of patience and so on. God's love is immeasurable. We need to rely and trust in God daily. John 15:13, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Phil. 4:6,7 Be careful (anxious) for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know unto him. Verse 7, And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. And when we prayer Jesus is up there intercessing on our behalf to the Father with Satan for ever accusing God's children. Let's Make our Father proud of us, OK?? I hope I have been helpful. Don't be discouraged, it will get better and you will begin to feel the peace, and such a building up of faith that no one, and nothing will be able to shake your faith. we are powerhouses for our Father. The world has it hate, but their hate won't make us stop enduring for our Loving Father and Love will overpower Hate. Sometimes people are not really hateful, but tired and angry at this life, ya know. Let's spread some Love. Take Care, Keep seeking daily for guidance when witnessing, give it to him. Ask him to show you his LOVE and immerse you with it, and so you can spread it over a hurting and love hungry world. In the Father's LOVE, SERENETIME |

111 | Rev 1:20 | Rev 1:20 | serenetime | 27917 | ||
Branon51, Hi, I just wanted to mention that if you go to Rev.1:10, it says that John was in the Spirit on the Lord's day. So lets remember this is the day Jesus returns. Check out 1Thess4:13-18. It says in verse 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of god: and the dead in Christ shall rise first, verse 17,then we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air. Also in 1Cor.15:38-41. Paul is explaining in verse 39 the differences of the flesh bodies of men and beasts, fish, birds. Verse 40 is telling us that there are differences in the the bodies of heaven, celestial, terrestrial. Verse 41, say's there is glory of the sun and moon,and stars and that stars differ from one another. I always advice everyone that it is always a good practice to read he whole chapter of the books to get a better understanding. Now in 1Cor.15:52 That we will change in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trump shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. verse 54 says mortal puts on immortality. So here we see in all these passages, that this is the Lord's day, and that the last trump has sounded, and the dead are rising incorruptible, and we have changed from mortal to immortality (Spiritual). and we see that there was most definitely angels with Jesus. It further shows us this in 2Thess.1:7, and to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels. All of chapter 1 is good to read and all of chapter 2 is also good to read because he is trying to reassure us and not be troubled by his first letter to us. So in Rev.1:10, we now can see that John has changed into immortality, into the Spirit, and he heard behind him a great voice as of a trumpet. Here's the 7th trump. Verse 20, is now alot easier to understand, the seven stars are angels of the churches and the seven golden candlesticks are the churches. Yes Paul says he show's you a mystery in 1Cor.15:51, but it really is not much of a mystery any more. 1Thess.4,5. 2Thess. 1Cor.15 go hand in hand. I hope this has helped you to understand Rev.1:10 better. Take Care. In the Living Water of the Father, Serenetime | ||||||
112 | "M-O-O-N. That spells moon." - S. King | Deut 29:29 | serenetime | 27879 | ||
Hey Praisemaster, Is this or that that percieve to be a partaker in the marriage supper of the Lamb? No, I'm sorry to say but this is just a mirror image of that glorious day. Praisemaster, do you mean to say that they cannot see and hear the invitation that is sent out everyday? NO, my love the world has waxed cold, and the seals have fallen off. The trumpets have blown. The bowls have been poured, all that's left is new wine in old bags. Praisemaster, In this, is that, that will burst asunder? Oh, but in the love of the living water isn't it written by Luke Yehshua's Physician in Chapter 5:38, But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both are preserved. Yes Serenetime, But as it is written, all must be in one accord, not according to those who say, they have invitations only through the narrow door. By their words only that they hold the key that can pour out the fountains of LOVE. Praisemaster, but doesn't Yehshua say, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you? Serenetime, Hoping to poured out as you, thanks for opening and holding the door. Be patient my Love, other's will follow. The groom has daily been inviting you. I see you wasting precious time something terrible, and you wonder why I speak in a parable. If you would use this precious time seeing and hearing my words, maybe your ears might hear and understand my verbs. I tried to tell you all,WATCH, I'm coming soon. But distracted you are, and it's approaching high noon. I hear my Bride's voice, she's ready for her groom. Sorry,there isn't any more room, You I never knew, WHO ARE YOU. You joked with all your friends wasting so much time, making up your insulting rhymes. IF you are truly MINE, then in this unloving world you can find it in your heart to be more kind, to MY child SERENETIME. | ||||||
113 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 27876 | ||
Kalos, I am totally perplexed how Judas could be the son of Perdition for the simpliest reason. Judas's death happened around where BC went to AD, right when it changed. First in 2 Thess 2:1-3 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him. Verse 2, that ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from us, as the day of Christ is at hand. verse 3, Let no man decieve you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. 2 Thess. was written right after 53ad. so were talking about 53 yrs. had gone by since Judas had died. 2 thess. as a whole is about the future beyond Paul. Because if it was Judas, then Why was Paul speaking of the future of the coming of Christ being revealed. The Gospel's revealed the story already of Judas, so he would have been revealed as the "son of perdition". But as quoted in 2 Thess.2:2 Particularly that you not be shaken by a letter from us, because Paul did not reveal who he was, and he did not know who he was. Because if Judas was the son of perdition, then when did Judas sit in the temple exalting himself showing himself to be God. From that day passover then, to at least ot Paul's time the gospel was growing. It doesn't fit, to me at least it doesn't. In the LOVE of the Father, Serenetime |

114 | In last days will people buy/sell Jesus? | Rev 6:5 | serenetime | 27808 | ||
Hotrod, Ever since the Sept.11th tragedy, and because of this people now realize that life is really temporary, and we are not exempt from terrorism even within our own country also by the Anthrax scare and more people dying. Remember the day of prayer where all religions and beliefs were all piled into a stadium hosted by Oprah Winfrey in the New York area after the world trade tragedy? And all prayed together even with their different beliefs. Bible sales and literature sales have most definitely gone way up because people always forget God Until tragedy strikes. And this was so major and shocking that people are numb and in shock and I think will be for a long time. Just like in the time of World Warll many thought that Hitler was the antichrist and the religious leaders and preachers preyed upon the people's fears and taught heavily on the Hell and Brimstone doctrine to scare them for their own ill gotten gain, and I believe it's happening now as well. What the people need now is showing the LOVE of Jesus more than scare tactics. God is not Fear, but of Love, and mercy and tenderness. We are to Love one another, Love and Kiss our children every chance we get and Love our neighbor, and Love our Country. Let this Love flow from us through Iesous (Jesus)always. I feel that many people have lost their love for their fellowman and hearts have been hardened and callous for so long. Time to soften up, don't you agree. In the Love of the Living Water of the Father. Serenetime | ||||||
115 | Man, woman take on sins of each other | 1 Cor 6:16 | serenetime | 27711 | ||
Gretsch42, The Holy Spirit showed me that I had not yet completed my answer. So here I am. Speaking of committing adultery. In Jer.3:8 "And I saw when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery. I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also". God divorces Israel, it says that he gave a bill of divorce. They were committing adultery with other lovers as it says in Jer.3:1 and in verse 1, God is saying "yet return unto Me, saith the Lord" But by what you said, God at this time would of had to take upon himself all the sins of Israel, and no where in the Bible does it convey this that sin has become a part of his nature. God would have to take on Israel's sin and it would become his sin now and Israel would take on sin of the Father and it would be their sin also. But,in the Father there is no sin. So your statement above "But because God turns his back on them as a result of their sin, they each take on all the sins of each other" To convey the confusion of your statement compared to the Epistle of Phillipians 2:1-18, The whole chapter conveys the idea about standing alone, but the verse that conveys best to me is verse 11,"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling". It also causes confusion to Rev.20:1-15,The whole chapter conveys standing alone. The verse that conveys best to me, where we should stand alone is Rev.20:11, "And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them". Jesus many, many years later took upon all the sins of the world when on the cross. But Jesus did not take on sin nature of each individual. John3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on him will not perish, but have everlasting life. Without spot or blemish. But in Hosea 14:whole chapter, God takes Israel back and in his mercy and love for his "wife" he forgives and speaks lovingly toward her in tenderness. Just as a married couple, if one commits adultery with another, can the one spouse forgive in love and mercy and they be joined together again. Just like if we sin, we feel distant from the Father. But in asking for forgiveness, he lovingly forgives in his tender mercy and Love for us his children. And God remembers the sin no more. The sin no longer exists. No sin is greater than the other. Sin is Sin. This is how we know that it is not a mortal sin to divorce and remarry again. The Father himself divorced and was he himself reunited with Israel. I hope this has helped you.

116 | Man, woman take on sins of each other | 1 Cor 6:16 | serenetime | 27704 | ||
Gretsch42, In 1Cor.6:16, where it says "he which is joined" is #2853, Kollao, from kolla, ("to glue") to stick, cleave, keep company. "to a harlot" #4204, porne, a strumpet, an idolater.Coming from #4205, pornos, to sell as akin as the base of #4097. to #4097,piprasko, a male prostitute ( as venal) a debauchee (libertine). "body" #4983, soma, the body as a sound whole, slave. "flesh" #4561, sarx, flesh, as stripped of skin, the meat of an animal (as food) body as opposed to soul and spirit. symbol of what is external, human nature with it's frailities (physically or morally) as passions, carnally minded, fleshly. There are other scriptures that are similar like Gen.2:24, Matt.19:5-6, Eph.5:31, Mark10:7-9. In Gen. 2:24, where it says "and shall cleave" it's #1692, dabaq, to impinge, cling, adhere, to catch by pursuit, follow close, overtake. "unto his wife" #802, ishshah, nashiym, a woman, adulteress, wife, woman. It comes from #582, enowsh, properly a mortal, differing from man. Bloodthirsty, chapman. "flesh" #1320 basar, flesh from it's freshness, body, person. In Mark19:5, "shall cleave" her is the same as 1Cor.6:16 #2853 where it says "which is joined". "wife" is #1135, gune, a woman, especially wife. "twain" #1417, duo, a primary numeral (two) both. "flesh" #4561, same as 1Cor.6:16. But in Mark19:6, where it says God it is #2316, theos, uncertain iffinity, a diety, the supreme diety, magistrate. "hath joined together" #4801, suzeugnumi, to yoke together, conjoin in marriage. "put asunder" #5563, chorizo, to place room between, to go away, depart, separate. From #5561, chora through the idea of empty expanse, a room, a space of territory. Eph.5:31, "shall be joined" #4347, proskallao, to glue to, to adhere, cleave. "wife" #1135 same as Matt.19:5, gune. "flesh" #4561, sarx, same as 1Cor.6:16, Matt.19:5. Mark10:7, "cleave" #4347, proskallao, same as Eph.5:31. "wife" #1135, gune, same as Eph.5:31,Matt.19:5. Mark10:9,"God" #2316, theos, same as Matt.19:6. So you see that there are similarities in these verses, but some slight differences like in 1Cor.6:16 it says which is joined, In Gen.2:24 it and shall cleave, Matt.19:5, says shall cleave, but the meanings are slightly different. Also in 1Cor.6:16 it says to a harlot, thus differing from Gen. and Matt. and Eph., and Mark. Harlot is #4205, pornos in the greek meaning to sell coming from #4097, a male prostitute, etc. and so on. As for the joining, and cleaving are slightly different in meaning. But most importantly in Gen.2:24, for flesh it says body as opposed from the soul and spirit. Symbol of what is external. It doesn't mean we are one as becoming one in soul and spirit. They remain separate and each one has his or her own sins, didn't God give us free will and that remains separate. We are to work out our own salvation, but when married it's a partnership. I hope I was helpful. In the Father's LOVE, Serenetime | ||||||
117 | What type of "magic" do magi do? | Matt 2:1 | serenetime | 27697 | ||
Hi Hix, Regarding what type of magic do the magi do. I came up with looking up the words "wise"in Matt.2:1 In the Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, going back to the original languages, I found that wise is #3097 in the Greek, it's Magos,of foreign origin from OT #7248, meaning a magian, oriental scientist, a magician. Also for sorcerer. I looked up sorcerer and from Acts.13:8 sorcerer is also translated #3097 in the greek. So I looked up #7248 in the OT which is Rab-mag, foreign word for Magian. Rab-mag, a Babylonian official. Then when looking up magician it's #2749 in the OT, is Chartom coming from from #2748, meaning magician but when you go to #2748 it means a horoscopian, as drawing of magical lines or circles. But interesting enough when I looked up witchcraft it was in Gal.5:20, #5331,coming from #5332, pharmakeia- medication (pharmacy), i.e. by extension (Magic) literally or figuratively, sorcery.#5332 is pharmakeus- from pharmakon ( a drug, i.e, spellgiving potion); a druggist ("pharmacist") or poisoner, i.e. by extension a magician. As you can see this is where we get our words pharmacy,pharmicist. Makes you think, huh??I hope I've been of some help. Take Care Hix, In the Father's LOVE, Serenetime | ||||||
118 | CHAPTER 6 LORD SAID AND 9 GOD SAID | Gen 2:3 | serenetime | 27691 | ||
SUPERLOTTO, Using the Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible Gen.6:5, God here in the original Hebrew is #3068 renderering Yehovah, the self Existent or Eternal, Jehovah. In verse 6, it's the same meaning. But in verse 9, #430,it means Elohiym, gods in the ordinary sense, specifically used in the plural thus, especially with the article of the Supreme God. Also used for magistrates. Verse 11,12,13,21 it's the same as verse 9. In Gen. 7:1 Lord, is back to #3068, the meaning of Yehovah, the self Existent or Eternal, Jehovah. I hope this helps.

120 | why did jesus speak in parables ? | Ps 78:2 | serenetime | 26944 | ||
Anonymous, Everyones answers have been very good, but I just wanted to add a little to what I've read here. Yes, in Matt. 13 Jesus is speaking in a parable regarding a sower who went forth to sow, verses 1-9, notice that Jesus says in verse 9, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. He's pointing out that who here has the ears to really hear what I'm saying to you. Doesn't faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.It's not just the normal hearing, but truly percieving what is being said and understanding. Then in verse 10, And the disciples came, and said unto Him, "Why speakest thou unto them in parables?" Then in verse 11 he says, He answered and said unto them, "Because it is given unto you (to know) the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but unto them it is not given. I put an enficies on to know, because Jesus says on judgement day, go ye workers of iniquity, I knew you not. the KNOWING is so imperitive, trust me. Verse 12, For whosoever hath, ( I'm adding (ears to hear)to him shall be given (remember v 11 here), and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, (ears to hear and know) from him shall be taken away even that he hath. This has to be with your HEART. Verse 13, Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing SEE NOT; and hearing they HEAR NOT, neither do they UNDERSTAND. Verse 14, And IN them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not percieve. Verse 15 For this people's HEART is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should UNDERSTAND with their HEART, and should be converted, and I should heal them. This parable goes with Romans 11, read it all. I'm telling you when your eyes begin to open and you truly see, you continue to see more and more and more and more, and hear more and more and deeper and deeper understanding. The rest of the chapter continues to help you to see the meaning of this parable. It is so deep. But then he explains the parable to his disciples after sending the multitude away. isn't that interesting. Then in verse 35 he quotes prophecy from Ps. 78:2 I truly stand by that you can't truly understand the new testament without knowing the old testament. Jesus backs me up in verse 35 (I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world). SO POWERFUL I truly hope I have helped you to see and understand why he spoke in parables. The Father's Word is AWESOME above AWESOME. Keep reading and studying and praying for eyes that truly see and ears that truly HEAR. Thank you Anonymous because by me helping you to see and hear I Saw and Heard something I have never Saw or Heard with greater understanding as ever before. I was truly BLESSED above measure. In True LOVE of The Father, SERENETIME | ||||||
