121 | Do you agree with this commentary? | Matt 7:6 | meusing | 40811 | ||
Jesus came to save sinners. Still, those who were actively agaist God and His Light tried their hardest to put that Light out. Look how they treated Him. Calvin explains it better than I : As the ministers of the Gospel, and those who are called to the office of teaching, cannot distinguish between the children of God and swine, it is their duty to present the doctrine of salvation indiscriminately to all. Though many may appear to them, at first, to be hardened and unyielding, yet charity forbids that such persons should be immediately pronounced to be desperate. It ought to be understood, that dogs and swine are names given not to every kind of debauched men, or to those who are destitute of the fear of God and of true godliness, but to those who, by clear evidences, have manifested a hardened contempt of God, so that their disease appears to be incurable. |

122 | Is my sin any less ugly ? | Matt 7:6 | meusing | 41316 | ||
I agree with you. Like the old SS song 'Who Killed Jesus?' says in the last verse and final chorus : "When I think of Jesus And the Way he died, How upon Him All my sins were laid, All the other people Fade away from view. It's for me the sacrifice was paid. I no longer wonder any more. I have found what I've been looking for. My sin demanded Hell. On Him the Judgement fell. I am guilty, It is plaind to see, That it was really me. However, that is not the point of the discussion. There are people to whome the gospel is a thing of loathing and hatered. Remember, right after John 3:16-17 He said (Amplified) John 3:19 The [basis of the] judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil. [Isa. 5:20.] John 3:20 For every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not come out into the Light but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his conduct) be exposed and reproved. Election does not enter into what Calvin was talking about ... "those who, by clear evidences, have manifested a hardened contempt of God" Paul wrote to Timothy " 2 Tim 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great wrongs. The Lord will pay him back for his actions. 2 Tim 4:15 Beware of him yourself, for he opposed and resisted our message very strongly and exceedingly. I think for one to be judged 'swine' by Calvin's doctrine as you say one who, as the writer to the hebrews says " Heb 10:29 How much worse (sterner and heavier) punishment do you suppose he will be judged to deserve who has spurned and [thus] trampled underfoot the Son of God, and who has considered the covenant blood by which he was consecrated common and unhallowed, thus profaning it and insulting and outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God)? [Exod. 24:8.] |

123 | Godhead | Matt 7:13 | meusing | 44013 | ||
Read what it says, the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him bodily, Jesus is God. The Father is God. and the Holy Spirit is God. Please read these verses : Phil 2:6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, Phil 2:7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. Phil 2:8 And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! Phil 2:9 Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, Phil 2:10 That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, Phil 2:11 And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 1 Cor 15:24 After that comes the end (the completion), when He delivers over the kingdom to God the Father after rendering inoperative and abolishing every [other] rule and every authority and power. 1 Cor 15:25 For [Christ] must be King and reign until He has put all [His] enemies under His feet. [Ps. 110:1.] 1 Cor 15:26 The last enemy to be subdued and abolished is death. 1 Cor 15:27 For He [the Father] has put all things in subjection under His [Christ's] feet. But when it says, All things are put in subjection [under Him], it is evident that He [Himself] is excepted Who does the subjecting of all things to Him. [Ps. 8:6.] 1 Cor 15:28 However, when everything is subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also subject Himself to [the Father] Who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [be everything to everyone, supreme, the indwelling and controlling factor of life]. |

125 | while protecting myself from injustice | Matt 10:16 | meusing | 56427 | ||
If we were truely wise we would NOT hurt others' feelings. 1. Properly, having knowledge; hence, having the power of discerning and judging correctly, or of discriminating between what is true and what is false; between what is fit and proper, and what is improper; as a wise prince; a wise magistrate. Solomon was deemed the wisest man. But a man may be speculatively and not practically wise. Hence, 2. Discrete and judicious in the use or applications of knowledge; choosing laudable ends, and the best means to accomplish them. This is to be practically wise. Gen 41. |

126 | Christ never did away with the sabbath | Matt 12:8 | meusing | 39001 | ||
For the Son of Man is Lord [even] of the Sabbath. "... from the fall to the incarnation God was working; from the incarnation to the cross, God the Son was working; and from Pentecost until now, the Holy Ghost has been working. Assuredly, Christ had no Sabbath when He was upon this earth. true he finished His work - blessedly, gloriously finished it - but where did He spend the Sabbath day? IN THE TOMB! Yes, the Lord Christ - God manifest in the flesh, the Lord of the Sabbath, the Maker and sustainer of heavean and earth - spent the seventh day in the tomb. Has this no voice for us? Does it convey no teaching? Could the Son of God lie in the grave on the seventh day if that day were to be spent in rest and peace, and in the full sense that nothing remained to be done? Impossible! We want no further proof of the impossibility of celebrating a Sabbath than that which is afforded at the grave of Jesus. We may stand beside that grave amazed to find it occupied by such a one on the seventh day; but oh! the reason is obvious. Man is a fallen, ruined, guilty creature. His long career of guilt has ended in crucifying the Lord of glory; and not only crucifying Him but placing a great stone at the mouth of the tomb, to prevent, if possible, His leaving it. And what was man doing while the Son of God was in the grave? HE WAS OBSERVING THE SABBATH DAY! What a thought! Christ in His grave to repair a broken Sabbath, and man attempting to keep the Sabbath as though ie were not broken at all! It was MAN's Sabbath, and not God's. It was a Sabbath without Christ - an empty, powerless, worthless , because Christless and Godless, form." CHM "Notes on the Pentateuch" p.24 You may celebrate a Christless Sabbath if you want to rejoice over what man did to Christ, I celebrate the truimph of God over death, sin and the grave on the first day of the week. |

127 | Who is gathered first ? | Matt 13:30 | meusing | 44983 | ||
The parable of the tares and wheat is just that, a parable not a fixed prophesy saing this first ,then that. Jesus said it to show that there will always be hypocrites and false professors in the church. to leave them to God. John Gill said ... Let both grow together until the harvest… By "the harvest", is meant "the end of the world", (Matthew 13:39) either of the Jewish world, the dissolution of their church and state, which was near; or of a man's life, which is the end of the world to him; or rather of this present world, the system of the universe, of the material world, as to its present form and use, and of the inhabitants of it, and of time in it. Now the end of the world is compared to harvest, because the time of it is fixed and settled; though it is not known when it will be, yet it is as certain as the time of harvest; and because as that is in the summer season, in hot weather, so this will be a time of wrath, when the day of the Lord will burn like an oven; and as the harvest time is a time of hurry and labour, so will it be in the end of the world, especially with the angels, who will be gathering the elect from the four winds, and all men, to appear before the judgment seat of Christ; and as at harvest the corn is cut down, the fields cleared, and all brought home, so it will be at the end of the world; the sickle will be thrust in, and the earth reaped, the tares bound in bundles, and cast into the fire, and the wheat gathered into the garner; and as the harvest, as it falls out to be good or bad, is matter of joy or sorrow, so will the end of the world be joy to saints, who will then enter into the joy of their Lord, and be for ever with him, and sorrow to the wicked, who will then go into everlasting punishment. Until this time, wheat and tares are to "grow" together. The "wheat", or true believers, "grow" in the exercise of grace, as of faith, hope, love, humility… and in spiritual knowledge of the will of God, of the doctrines of grace, and of Christ; which growth is owing to the dews of divine grace, to the sun of righteousness shining upon them, to the gracious influences of the blessed Spirit, and to the word and ordinances as means. The "tares", or nominal professors, may "grow" in riches, in credit, and reputation among men, and in speculative knowledge; and oftentimes so it is, that they grow worse and worse, both in doctrinal and practical wickedness: when they are ordered to "grow together", the meaning is, not that their growth is equal, or of the same kind, nor in the same way, nor in the same things; but this only notes the time and duration of their growth: nor is this suffered and permitted, because of any love God has unto them, or any delight in, or approbation of them; but either because they are not fully ripe for ruin; or for the exercise of the saints, and for their temporal and spiritual good; for it is entirely a tender regard to the wheat, and not to the tares, that they are ordered to grow together. And in the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, the angels, (Matthew 13:39) gather ye together first the tares; that is, formal professors, hypocrites, and heretics; whom he will have removed out of his kingdom, his church, his field, in the world: and this order shows, that the angels will have a perfect and exact knowledge of these persons; and that their work will be to separate them from the righteous; when the churches will be pure, and without spot, or wrinkle: and this will be done first; that is, these wicked men will be first removed out of the church, before their more severe punishment takes place: |

128 | John the Batist's Beheading? | Matt 14:9 | meusing | 41703 | ||
Matthew shows the facts about John's beheading. To call his death premature is to pre-judge the facts. But it does show the rection of some people to the truth. that is why Jesus warned his disciples not to give pearls to swine, or they would turn and rend them. |

129 | Muslim missionaries said to me | Matt 16:16 | meusing | 64065 | ||
Jesus claimed that He existed before Abraham, and He claimed that He is the 'I AM'. He demonstrated all the attributes of divintiy, He excepted worship AS God, which even the Angels did not do. He did not negate his sonship wih God but repeatedly refered to Himself as the Son and to God as His Father. It was on Peter's statement of His Sonship that He would build His church. Who ever told you that Jesus never claimed to be the Son of God has either never read the Gospels or is deliberatly lieing to you. |

130 | explanation | Matt 21:22 | meusing | 43691 | ||
I think Jesus' brother James had a good explination ... James 1:5 If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. James 1:6 Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind. James 1:7 For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord, |

131 | So, to honor lies in married adulthood? | Matt 23:9 | meusing | 39405 | ||
Calvin said : The true meaning therefore is, that the honor of a father is falsely ascribed to men, when it obscures the glory of God. we are to honor our parents, but not as substitutes for God. We still have an obligation to our parents, even it they turn agaist us. We can offer them up to God, and serve them as if they are in God's keeping. |

132 | What is the most severe warning of Hell | Matt 23:33 | meusing | 151721 | ||
Jesus gave many warnings against eternal punishment. Remember He came to save us from that. Gill said: ""the judgment, or damnation of hell", is a phrase often used in the Talmud , and Midrashes of the Jews; and intends future torment, and the everlasting vengeance and wrath of God, the unquenchable fire prepared for the devil and his angels, and which impenitent unbelieving sinners cannot escape..." |

133 | Revelations | Mark | meusing | 44015 | ||
Jesus said there is a hell. As a Christian I believe Jesus. He said : Mr 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Mr 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Mr 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Of course there are those who do not believe Jesus. Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. |

135 | sunday the day of sun worship | Mark 2:28 | meusing | 39016 | ||
So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. It is the Christian's priviledge to enjoy the first day of the week. How can we rejoice and worship on a day when the Lord of the Sabbath was in the tomb? Would you deny us worshiping the Lord of the Sabbath on the day which He defeated death, sin and the grave and DEMAND that we worship on a day that He was in the grave? |
