1241 | Illustration of this verse | Luke 23:46 | skccab | 186161 | ||
Hi Ngqabe, Jesus was trusting His human spirit into the keeping of the Father, as he was assured that He would soon be reunited with the Father (see Ps. 31:5). The Amplified Version uses the word "expired." That's just simply another term for "died." Hope this helps. Blessings Cheri |

1242 | what does the verse mean? | Ezek 47:5 | skccab | 186155 | ||
Blessings, Mark Thank you for your gracious reply. I told mrodri to look forward to other responses from people who know the Word a whole lot more than me. That was just my take on the passage as a whole and his/her question. I look forward to the others responses too. You guys are most helpful. (I'm sure you know the ones I'm referring to. I've been on the forum for about a week now and yours and their names just keep popping up. I've really enjoyed the dialogue and have grown thereby.) Thank you Cheri |

A continuation - If no one can give an answer for things so horrible, or help you understand - we can at least pray with you and for you that you may be strong. And we can let you know that not everyone who calls themselves Christian will hurt you. Most of us are what Jesus wants us to be - full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness (Gal. 5:22). Blessings (and there are blessings for you too dear, for Jesus loves you so much) Cheri |

Dear freedom, You posted before on the 1st of the month, pretty much the same thing. We are very sorry to hear of your troubles. Please help us to relate, where are you from? where did this take place, under what circumstances? And then what is the actual question in all that? Someone would be more than happy to try to answer, to help you understand. Blessings Cheri |

1245 | what does the verse mean? | Ezek 47:5 | skccab | 186141 | ||
Hi Mark, I take it that way as well, but the original person wanted to know the term "unleashed". So, as well as it being a literal building and river, I think there also is a symbolic meaning as well. The passage speaks first of Ezekiel wading, then treading, and then swimming. Blessings Cheri |

1246 | The theme is unleashed waters to swin in | Ezek 47:5 | skccab | 186137 | ||
Mrodri, Where do you get the term "unleashed waters to swim in", from which translation? I use the Amplified, NASB, and KJV mainly, and the words used are "torrent" "risen waters" "river too deep," so that you cannot wade in it, you must totally immerse yourself and swim in it. I believe it represents the Gospel and the Holy Spirit. First a small trickle in Asia Minor then it gets deeper and deeper and deeper as it moves throughout the earth. As a new believer, you hear but a trickle of the Gospel, you believe it and immerse yourself in it, and thru the Holy Spirit you move deeper and deeper into the revelations of God's mercy and grace and love. Maybe that's what is "unleashed"? As we as believers move from milk to the meat of the Word, from grace to grace, from faith to faith? If I'm way off here, please forgive, and correct. Blessings Cheri |

1247 | what does the verse mean? | Ezek 47:5 | skccab | 186135 | ||
Hi Mrodri, Maybe it's the large spread of the Gospel and the pouring out of the Spirit as promised in Joel. A river that you can't go over, nor under, not even through it, you have to go "into" it, become a part of it. I'm just beginning to put the Word back into my life first place, so that's just a thought. There are some members of this forum, who, I'm sure will add much insight soon. |

1248 | principles related to said passage | Is 42:1 | skccab | 186125 | ||
Hi Tonyl, Isa. 42:1 promises the coming of Christ verse 2 says He will come quietly, not crying in the streets "look at Me", or making a show of Himself verse 3 says He will deal gently and full of grace toward those that come to Him. Those candles (people) whose wicks are dimming He will revive and rekindle and verse 4 states that countries outside of Judea will gladly accept Him. Hope this helped Blessings Cheri |

1249 | Had Satan known.... | John 10:18 | skccab | 186112 | ||
Searcher, Thank you for responding so promptly. I guess it isn't there. A few months ago I finished off reading the whole Bible thru, but I wasn't really searching for any particular verses at the time, so it didn't occur to me then that it wasn't there. Cheri |

1250 | Had Satan known.... | Not Specified | skccab | 186107 | ||
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows where it states in NT something like this "if the devil had known, he would not have had crucified the Lord..." I can't find it, and I have a pretty large concordance. I've always thought there was such a verse, but now.....? Thanks for your help Blessings Cheri |

1252 | Receiving Communion if not married | 1 Cor 11:24 | skccab | 186099 | ||
Please pardon, Vincent says basically the same thing as concerns the wine/blood part of the Communion. As far as Scripture proper, there is nowhere that states you have to be married in a church, out of a church or even married. Communion is one of the few observations that our Lord instituted/endorsed Himself - it should be observed as He said, not as some organization deems correct. Cheri |

1253 | Receiving Communion if not married | 1 Cor 11:24 | skccab | 186098 | ||
1Co 11:24 - Had given thanks, Eucharistesas. Hence in post-apostolic and patristic writers, Eucharist was the technical term for the Lord's Supper as a sacrifice of thanksgiving for all the gifts of God, especially for the “unspeakable gift,” Jesus Christ. By some of the fathers of the second century the term was sometimes applied to the consecrated elements. The formula of thanksgiving cited in “The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles” is, for the cup first, 'We give thanks to Thee, our Father, for the holy vine of David Thy servant, which Thou hast made known to us through Jesus, Thy servant: to Thee be the glory forever.” And for the bread: “We give thanks to Thee, our Father, for the life and knowledge which Thou hast made known to us through Jesus Thy servant: to Thee be the glory forever. As this broken bread was scattered upon the mountains and, gathered together, became one, so let Thy Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth into Thy Kingdom, for Thine is the glory and the power through Jesus Christ forever.” Brake Bengel says: “The very mention of the breaking involves distribution and refutes the Corinthian plan - every man his own” 1Co.11:21. Do, Be doing or continue doing. In remembrance Strictly, for or with a view to, denoting purpose. These words do not occur in Matthew and Mark. Paul's account agrees with Luke's. Remembrance implies Christ's bodily absence in the future. Marvin R. Vincent's Word Studies, Covenant Parsonage, NY, Oct. 30, 1886 I've read from other commentaries and I find nothing stated about having to be married in a church or outside of a church. This is a remembrance of Christ and His work done for us as individuals and as a people. And remember our God is a God of forgiveness, not condemnation. Hope this helps. (Also, as an apology - This quotation came as a part of a Bible softward program, not from the book proper and I don't have all the publishing info to properly identify.) |

Hi Doc and John, Might I add Bill and Gloria Gaither's lovely words on God and His Church? "God has always had a people. Many a foolish conqueror has made the mistake of thinking that because he had driven the Church of Jesus Christ out of sight that he had stilled its voice and snuffed out its life, but God has always had a people. The powerful current of a rushing river is not diminished because it is forced to flow underground. The purest water is the stream that bursts crystal clear into the sunlight after it has forced its way through solid rock. There have been charlatans who, like Simon the magician, sought to barter on the open market that Power which cannot be bought or sold, but God has always had a people - men who could not be bought and women who were beyond purchase. Yes, God has always had a people. There have been times of affluence and properity when the Church's message has been nearly diluted into oblivion by those who sought to make it socially attractive, neatly organized, and financially profitable. It's been gold-plated, draped in purple, and encrusted with jewels. It's been misrepresented, ridiculed, lauded and scorned. These followers of Jesus Christ have been, according to the whim of the times, elevated as sacred leaders and martyred as heretics. Yet through it all there marches on this powerful Army of the meek - God's Chosen People who could not be bought, flattered, murdered or stilled! On through the ages they march - this Church, God's Church Triumphant - Alive and Well!" Thank God for those that went before us to pave the way and show us that indeed God still has a People! And no matter how watered down some churches (the organizational part, the buildings) try to make the Word, there will always be a People of God. I intend to be one of them, and in your responses to others, I know you are too. Blessings Cheri |

1256 | Bride - Church or New Jerusalem? | Is 61:10 | skccab | 185976 | ||
Fellowlaborer Thank you for your thoughts. I'm just getting off midnight shift so my brain is not so swift. I orginally didn't have a scripture reference when I posed the question (I'm not sure how it got there, I'm very new to this and all forums and their mysteries!), I was just wondering mainly about the part of Rev. 21 where there is no question about who/what "the bride, the lamb's wife" is. I will ponder what you wrote prayerfully, and follow your references tonight at work. Thank you for them. And isn't this place such a blessing? So many new family members to get to know. Blessings Cheri |

Now see there, old subject, new insight. So, please forgive us newbies if we sometimes ask a question that has been covered. It sometimes can get answered with fresh thinking. Also, I was reading old threads the other day and answered one that was a few years old. Felt like a fool!!! cheri |

1260 | Bride - Church or New Jerusalem? | Is 61:10 | skccab | 185878 | ||
OK, thanks. So it is probably just a matter of semantics. As I noted in v9 The bride Is The city of New Jerusalem. It is as before, just an identification. As a single parent may sometimes be identified as the missing parent to suit a given situation, he/she is never seen as actually that parent. OK - getting stonger back in the old view. It's just that everyone now seems so comfortable calling themselves "the bride" rather than "as a bride." But personally, I am much more comfortable calling myself and brothers/sisters in the Lord as "the body of Christ" - a term that actually links the two. Christ and the bride have to be two distinct entities. Alright. This works. Thanks for listening to me and helping me work thru what was trying to become a confusion. Cheri |
