147 | Caiaphas's prophecy misinterpreted? | John 11:51 | christian7 | 103160 | ||
Nolan: I don't believe that the prophecy was a misinterpretation. I find it to be a fullfilling prophecy. Jesus knowing His hour was at hand had to set things in order for the fullfillment to come to pass. Surely the high priest knew the scriptures and was, as many before hand had been, ready for the One that might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." It almost seems as if Caiaphas knows what its going to take for this to come to pass as he felt it was expedient. And yes it is very interesting to note that the 'high priest' (Caiaphas) was sentencing the Ultimate High Priest (Hebrews 5:9,10) to death. KJV Isaiah 49:6 6. And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth KJV John 10:16-18 16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. KJV Ephesians 2:14-17 14. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17. And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. Its my belief that God used Caiaphas in the same way He used Pharaoh. To accomplish His divine plan for us all. God Bless |

148 | Would a gentle spirit work? | John 12:32 | christian7 | 103884 | ||
Aixen7z4: Truly a kind gentle spirit will go a lot further than one that is not. It is my blessing from God to have received a verse in one way only to come to this forum and have it revealed in context. Words have different meanings and when taken into context a verse makes God's message clear and easier to minister. Take the thread in this discussion for and example. There are ways we can take a scripture received from God and run away with it. Jehovah witnesses are famous for this and some other cults also. But I don’t want to get into all that right now. Now even though when we "lift up" the name of Jesus, we are not actually "lifting Him up". To wit, scripture must be taken as a whole. I have misunderstood a lot of scriptures by not taking it in context. You know the preceding verses and following verses. When I came to the Forum it was simply put into context for me. I didn't like it at first as I thought it should remain the way I received it from the Lord. But the bible does teach us to rightly divide the word. As many others that come here with a preconceived view to a certain scripture, when our view is smashed, from being what we thought it was there is an offence taken. Now the question in our pea brain is “am I going to let this person change what the Lord has given me in my spirit"? A red flag automatically goes up because someone is changing what we received as scripture from God. But when we put our flag down and look at what is being said to us is in clear teaching we should rejoice at the new understanding that the Lord has revealed to us. It is my opinion and a proven fact on this forum that when ones view is challenged that the overwriting factor is what scripture really says, in its context, and received as such. When this occurs there is an understanding and all are edified. When this doesn’t happen someone is offended and threads run on and on till they are restricted. Usually it is the latter of the two. The bottom line here is someone is usually trying to make you see it their way and if you don’t then you’re not as smart as you think. It’s my observation that if you are coming here with an agenda or trying to force your opinion to others its best to stay off. Otherwise someone will eventually have you removed. There is room for those who are weak as I am one of the weakest. I have learned very much through this forum and find it a great place to come if and I stress if you are willing to learn. God Bless |

150 | Do you recall the day of your Salvation | John 12:32 | christian7 | 103887 | ||
Kathy: 5 years 11 months and 16 days ago. It was New Years Eve and my favorite night to party. A friend of mine had invited me to a night watch service a couple of weeks beforehand. I asked him what that was and he said bringing in the new year with the Lord. I thought to myself, I didn't know churches did that. My answer was I might. I shared it with my wife who was already a christian and she got excited and I said we might, no promises. Well to make a long story short(I am from the south) the Lord started dealing with my spirit over those two weeks. Sleepless nights, heart pounding harder, I could feel His presents. Well I figured why not and agreed to go only to find the devil wanting me not to go even worse. As I got off from work I stopped by the VFW to shoot some pool and drink a couple before I went home to get ready. Well one led to another, I mean it was New Years Eve and all and before I knew it, it was 11pm. I got in a hurry to get home and stopped by the store to get some gas and ran into an old friend who insisted I come by his party before midnight. Couldn't say no. After leaving the party I finally got home around 12:15 only to find everyone in bed. Not on my watch, we dont go to bed its time to celebrate. One thing led to another and I left in a rage to go to another party. God had other plans traveling about 85mph I came up on a curve I couldn't make. My car flipped crashing into a pine tree and my life passed before me. I have no need to lie. The bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. All I can say for sure is there was a presents not a vission. Ashamed that I should have gone to the nightwatch service, instead of the parties, ashamed for the father that I had been, ashamed for the husband I was, ashamed of how selfish I had been, ashamed,ashamed,ashamed. I began to cry out. And cry. Please God,Please God, Please God, JUST ONE MORE CHANCE. You see Kathy for some of us we have to die to die. God breathed into my nostrils life and I gave it back to Him through my Lord Jesus. I have never looked back since that night. I have never stopped praising Him. He has made my life so wonderful. Through Him I am a better dad, husband, brother, and friend. Words can not say how much He means to me or how much He has done in my life. Do I remember the day that He saved me. Oh yes I sure do. God Bless |

151 | Is lifting His name related to this vs? | John 12:32 | christian7 | 104007 | ||
Searcher56: Thats a good question. Are you speaking of this verse or the bible in general? I dont see it in this verse but I do find it in the bible. Lift- To project or sound in loud, clear tones: Lift-To uplift; elate: Lift-The act or process of rising or raising to a higher position. KJV 2 Chronicles 5:13-14 13. It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; 14. So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God. KJV Isaiah 24:14-15 14. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea. 15. Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea. KJV Isaiah 40:9 9. O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! KJV Isaiah 42:11-12 11. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. 12. Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands. God Bless |

Aixen7z4: I would never agree to shouting anyone off of here as we all need to learn and grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. KJV 1 Corinthians 4:5-6 5. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 6. And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

156 | True Christians break commandments? | John 15:10 | christian7 | 72811 | ||
dat KJV John 15:10-11 10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. By the keeping of His commandments His joy is made full in us. When we break them there is no joy in it. as far as being saved and how can you know ASV John 10:9 9. I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. ASV Acts 2:21 21. And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. ASV Acts 4:12 12. And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved. KJV Acts 11:13-14 3. And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; 14. Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. KJV Acts 15:11 11. But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. KJV Acts 16:30-31 30. And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. KJV Romans 5:9 9. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. KJV Romans 8:24 24. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? dat: you can tell by the Word of God. Do you believe and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation? dat: as far as divorce My idea's are not what is important. What is important is that you are to cling to your husband not your brother or sister, mother or father. KJV Ephesians 5:24 24. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. KJV Ephesians 5:28-29 28. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: God Bless |

157 | Rev. 10 v1 who is the mighty angel ? | John 21:14 | christian7 | 104144 | ||
Part1 maribeth: Verse 1. And I saw another mighty angel,.... Not any mere man, as Justin the emperor, as some have thought, who sent letters abroad in favour of the orthodox doctrine, against the Arians, which they suppose is meant by the little book open in his right hand; and still less the pope of Rome, whether in the sense of Papists or Protestants, which latter represent him as a tyrant, treading upon men both in the islands and in the continent, and holding forth the book of canons and decrees; rather, as Mr. Daubuz thinks, Luther, with the rest of the reformers, is intended, and especially since the prophecy of this chapter respects the Reformation, which began before the end of the sixth trumpet; and the epithets given to this angel may denote his strength and courage, his divine authority, the protection of him, and the clear doctrine of peace and reconciliation he brought: however, a created angel is not intended: not the angel that made proclamation for the opening of the book, and unsealing it, Revelation 5:2; between which, and having the book in his right hand open, is a wide difference; nor any other, though the epithet "mighty" belongs to angels in common; and though this angel swears by the living God; and though it was an angel by whom Christ signified the things contained in this book to John; but the uncreated Angel, the Lord Jesus Christ, seems rather designed, as appears both by comparing this with Daniel 12:7; and from the power lie gave to the two witnesses, Revelation 11:3; which cannot agree with a created angel; and besides, who so proper to hold the book open as he who unloosed the seals, and opened it, and to whom the epithet "mighty" may be applied in the highest sense, as God; and who as man may be said to swear by the living God, and to whom the whole description well agrees? he is sometimes called an Angel simply, Genesis 48:16; sometimes the Angel of the Lord, and who appears to be Jehovah himself, the second Person, Genesis 16:7, compared with Genesis 19:1; and sometimes the Angel of God's presence, Isaiah 63:9; and the Angel of the great council in the Septuagint on Isaiah 9:6; and the Angel, or messenger, of the covenant, Malachi 3:1; and may be so called, because he is a messenger from God as man and Mediator, being sent by him to declare his will and redeem his people: and he is a "mighty" one; not only as God, being the mighty God, the Almighty, which appears by his creation of all things, and upholding them in their beings; but as Mediator, having all power in heaven and in earth, and being far above all principality, power, and might; and, as man, made strong by God for himself, and for his people: he appears now as "another" angel, distinct from the seven angels who had trumpets given them to sound, and six of which had already sounded; and particularly from the angel of the sixth trumpet, who had just sounded; though some copies, and the Complutensian edition, leave out the word allon, "another"; and very opportunely does he appear for the comfort of his church, when the trumpets that had been blown had brought such desolations upon the empire, western and eastern, and when both the western and eastern antichrists had appeared, and before the seventh trumpet sounds, and brings in the last and greatest woe: and he is said to |

Part 2 come down from heaven; which does not design his incarnation, that was long before this time; nor his spiritual presence with his people, which is common to them in all ages; nor his second coming to judgment, which will be by a descent from heaven, and in the clouds of heaven, for that is yet future; but in a visionary way, his appearance to and for his church and people in the dark times of antichrist, when afflicted by the Turk on the one hand, and the pope on the other: clothed with a cloud (noun); which is expressive not of the human nature of Christ, with which his divinity was veiled in his state of humiliation, so that few saw the glory of his divine Person and the greater part esteemed him a mere man; but rather of the obscurity of him, his person, offices, and grace, in those times of antichristian darkness, and even of the dim light and knowledge which his true and faithful followers had of him in those times; it was a dark and cloudy day with them, as well as the whole earth was covered with the gross darkness of Popery and Mahometanism; though it seems best of all to interpret this phrase of the majestic presence of Christ in his appearances to his people, who went before the people of Israel in a cloud by day in the wilderness, descended in one on Mount Sinai, dwelt in one both in the tabernacle and temple, was overshadowed by one on the Mount when transfigured, ascended in one to heaven, and will return in one, or more: moreover, the cloud may denote the power and protection of God attending the Reformation; see Psalm 68:34; and a rainbow (was) upon his head; which was a token of the covenant; see Revelation 4:3; and the note there: this, with its blessings, is upon the head of Christ, the antitypical Joseph, and who is the head of his church and people; and Christ appearing in this form at this time when the world was overflowed with Popery and Mahometanism, shows that God was still mindful of his covenant, even in those worst of times, and would not suffer his church to be overwhelmed, and sunk in the general deluge of antichristianism, or the gates of hell to prevail against it; Christ, at such a tirade as this, very seasonably appeals with the rainbow of the covenant on his head, as a messenger of peace, and bringer of good tidings, to let his people know that ere long it would be halcyon days with them, and there would be times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, who was ever mindful of his covenant with them; and that the Gospel of peace and reconciliation would be preached unto them: and his face (was) as it were the sun; or looked like the sun, as it did at the time of his transfiguration on the and as he is described in Revelation 1:16, and may denote clearness and purity of Christ; both as God, who is the brightness of his Father's glory, and the express of his person; and as man, who is holy, harmless, up defiled; and is also expressive of that fight of nature, grace, and glory, which he imparts unto the sons of men; as well as of that beauty, loveliness, and amiableness in his person, which renders him as the sun, delightful to behold; and of the majesty of his person, and the manifestations of himself, to the great comfort, pleasure, and refreshment of his saints: and his feet as pillars of fire; which may refer to the state of the church of Christ at this time, which was in the fire of afflictions, when many of its members were called to the stake, and burnt there for the sake of the Gospel, and yet were like "pillars," firm and unshaken; the church was like the bush that Moses saw, which was on fire, but not consumed; Christ was with his people as they passed through it, that it could not kindle upon them so as to destroy them; and their faith, which was tried by it, was found to be much more precious than of gold that perisheth: or this may show what Christ then was, both to his people and to his enemies; to his people his feet were as "pillars" of brass and marble, to bear them up, and support them under all their trials and afflictions; his goings forth towards them in a way both of providence and grace, were in such a manner, as to strengthen and confirm them in the faith of him against all the powers of hell and earth; and they were like "fire," to consume his and their enemies; with his feet he trod upon them, and subdued them under him, who were as stubble, briers and thorns, easily consumed by him, when at the same time be was a wall of fire to his people, and the glory in the midst of them.
