161 | John11:8 I see | John 11:8 | meusing | 72817 | ||
John Gill coments: Joh 11:8 - His disciples said unto him, master,.... Addressing him very reverently, and with great concern for his safety, as well as their own: the Jews of late, or but now, sought to stone thee; as they had attempted to do twice in a very little time; see Joh_8:59; and goest thou thither again? where there are so many enemies; and so much danger, and but little hope of doing much good; whereas here he was among his friends, and in safety, and very useful. |

162 | Paganism seems to fit what i do believe | John 14:6 | meusing | 44942 | ||
Everyone believes or disbelieves in something. The important thing is believing in the truth. If a car is on fire, believing that a bucket has water in it will not stop an explosion if the liquid in the bucket is realy gasolene if it is thrown on the fire (in belief the gas is water). The fact are, 1. there is a God to whom we will answer to. 2. there is no way for us to get into heaven on our own good works. 3. Jesus has come to take the punishment that we deserve so we can be free and clean. If you do not believe this you will still have to stand before God. the question is will you be standing on your own merits or in the merit of Jesus. |

164 | No fruit apart from Jesus? | John 15:2 | meusing | 47582 | ||
Hi, as I understand it Jesus spoke these words after Judas had left them to betray Him. Does that not show that he (Judas) was not abiding in Jesus? Jesus is the source (the vine). He said at another place :John 4:14 But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life. Paul recognized this when he said : Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me. |

165 | john 15:26 Who is the comforter | John 15:26 | meusing | 55287 | ||
Jesus tells us that the Comforter is the Holy Spirit : John 15:26 But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me. [Amilified] John Gill said : Joh 15:26 - But when the Comforter is come,.... Or advocate, the Spirit of God; who was to be, and has been an advocate for Christ, against the world, and for his people, against all their enemies; and who as he was to reprove, and did reprove the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, in favour of Christ, so he was to assist his people, and plead their cause, and help them, in vindication of themselves, before the princes of the earth, as he did: and who also was to act, and has acted the part of a "comforter" to them, under all the hatred and violence they have met with from the world; by taking and applying the things of Christ to them; by shedding the love of God in them; by applying the promises of the Gospel to them; by witnessing their adoption, and sealing them up to the day of redemption: whom I will send unto you from the Father; visibly, as on the day of Pentecost, in cloven tongues as of fire; and invisibly into their hearts, by the secret influence of his light and grace; which mission, as it suggests no inferiority in the spirit, either to the Father or the Son; since the same spirit with the Father, was the sender of Christ; so it is expressive of the equal deity of Christ, and his joint power and authority with the Father: even the Spirit of truth; who is the true Spirit, truth itself; yea, the true God, with the Father and Son; the Spirit of him who is truth; the dictator of the Scriptures of truth; who leads his people into all truth; and is the Spirit of truth, as he is a witness or testifier of Christ, hereafter promised: which proceedeth from the Father; Christ is not content to describe him by his work and office, as, an, advocate and comforter, and as the Spirit of truth: and from his mission by him from the Father; all which shows his usefulness and authority; but also from his nature and essence, which is the same with the Father's; and from his peculiar personal and distinctive character, expressed by his proceeding from the Father; and which is mentioned, as what is distinct from his mission by Christ, from the Father before spoken of; and designs no other, than the eternal, ineffable, and continued act of his procession, from the Father and the Son; in which he partakes of the same nature with them, and which personally distinguishes him from them. The ancient Jews (x) spoke of him just in the same language; "the Spirit of God", in Gen_1:2; they say is the Holy Spirit, îàìäéí ãðôé÷, "which proceedeth from God": very pertinently does Christ take notice of this his character here, when he was about to speak of him as his testifier: he shall testify of me: of his deity and sonship, of his incarnation, of his being the Messiah, of his sufferings and death, of his resurrection and ascension, of his exaltation at the right hand of God, and of his ordination to be the Judge of quick and dead; all which he bore testimony to, by the gifts bestowed upon the apostles, and the great grace that was upon them all; by the signs, wonders, and divers miracles, by which the Gospel of Christ was confirmed; and by the power, influence, and success, which attended the preaching of it every where. Thus he testified of Christ, against the blaspheming Jews, and persecuting Gentiles, to the reproof and confusion of them; and he testified of him to the apostles, and all true believers, to their great joy and comfort, and to the support of them, under all the malice and hatred of the world. (x) Zohar in Gen. fol. 1. 4. |

171 | When did Sheol/Hades 1st get mistranslat | Acts 2:31 | meusing | 62731 | ||
They were not mistranslated hell is the English translation of the Greek word 'hades', the place of departed souls, which is a translation of the Hebrew word 'Sheol' into Greek. They mean the same thing : the world of the dead. The NASV did NOT translate the word, they transliterated it without translating it. The English word 'hell' is a correct translation of both words. Easton's dictionary says : Hell Derived from the Saxon helan, to cover; hence the covered or the invisible place. In Scripture there are three words so rendered:- (1.) Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty-five times. This word sheol is derived from a root-word meaning “to ask,” “demand;” hence insatiableness (Pro 30:15, Pro 30:16). It is rendered “grave” thirty-one times (Gen 37:35; Gen 42:38; Gen 44:29, Gen 44:31; 1Sa 2:6, etc.). The Revisers have retained this rendering in the historical books with the original word in the margin, while in the poetical books they have reversed this rule. In thirty-one cases in the Authorized Version this word is rendered “hell,” the place of disembodied spirits. The inhabitants of sheol are “the congregation of the dead” (Pro 21:16). It is (a) the abode of the wicked (Num 16:33; Job 24:19; Psa 9:17; Psa 31:17, etc.); (b) of the good (Psa 16:10; Psa 30:3; Psa 49:15; Psa 86:13, etc.). Sheol is described as deep (Job 11:8), dark (Job 10:21, Job 10:22), with bars (Job 17:16). The dead “go down” to it (Num 16:30, Num 16:33; Eze 31:15, Eze 31:16, Eze 31:17). (2.) The Greek word Hades of the New Testament has the same scope of signification as sheol of the Old Testament. It is a prison (1Pe 3:19), with gates and bars and locks (Mat 16:18; Rev 1:18), and it is downward (Mat 11:23; Luk 10:15). The righteous and the wicked are separated. The blessed dead are in that part of Hades called paradise (Luk 23:43). They are also said to be in Abraham's bosom (Luk 16:22). (3.) Gehenna, in most of its occurrences in the Greek New Testament, designates the place of the lost (Mat 23:33). The fearful nature of their condition there is described in various figurative expressions (Mat 8:12; Mat 13:42; Mat 22:13; Mat 25:30; Luk 16:24, etc.). (See HINNOM.) |

174 | Contrary Accounts of Jesus' Genealogy. | Rom 1:3 | meusing | 40616 | ||
The accounts are not contrary when you consider that Matthew's (through Solomon - royal) is that of Joseph, while that in Luke (through Nathan - legal) is that of Mary the mother of our LORD. Nathan was the older brother and had a legal right to the throne and his line produced the Virgin Mary. Solomon the younger brother took the throne and his line produced Joseph Jesus' step-father. Matthew in giving the royal line mentions Jechonias. Now, Jechonias and his decendants had a curse placed on them in Jeremiah 22:30 "... no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting on the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah." not one of his seven sons (I Chron. 3:17,18) ever posessed the throne. However Nathan's line had no curse on it. Therefore Jesus is eligible for the throne through the leagal line of Nathan, and adopted by Joseph into the royal line as the royal heir. He was the seed of David accoring to the flesh (Mary). and when Joseph married Mary as D. G. Barnhouse said Joseph "took the unborn child under his protecting care, giving Him the title which had come down to him through his ancestor Solomon, the LORD Jesus became the leagl Messiah, the royal Messiah, the uncursed Messiah, the true Messiah, the only possible Messiah."

175 | Different Claims On Joseph's Father | Rom 1:3 | meusing | 40994 | ||
Actualy the word Luke uses could be also translated son-in-law. A. T. Robertson in his Word Pictures of the Greek New Testament said : The two genealogies differ very widely and many theories have been proposed about them. At once one notices that Luke begins with Jesus and goes back to Adam, the Son of God, while Matthew begins with Abraham and comes to "Joseph the husband of Mary of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ" (#Mt 1:16). Matthew employs the word "begot" each time, while Luke has the article tou repeating huiou (Son) except before Joseph. They agree in the mention of Joseph, but Matthew says that "Jacob begat Joseph" while Luke calls "Joseph the son of Heli." There are other differences, but this one makes one pause. Joseph, of course, did not have two fathers. If we understand Luke to be giving the real genealogy of Jesus through Mary, the matter is simple enough. The two genealogies differ from Joseph to David except in the cases of Zorobabel and Salathiel. Luke evidently means to suggest something unusual in his genealogy by the use of the phrase "as was supposed" (hws enomizeto). His own narrative in #Lu 1:26-38 has shown that Joseph was not the actual father of Jesus. Plummer objects that, if Luke is giving the genealogy of Jesus through Mary, huios must be used in two senses here (son as was supposed of Joseph, and grandson through Mary of Heli). But that is not an unheard of thing. In neither list does Matthew or Luke give a complete genealogy. Just as Matthew uses "begat" for descent, so does Luke employ "son" in the same way for descendant. It was natural for Matthew, writing for Jews, to give the legal genealogy through Joseph, though he took pains to show in #Mt 1:16,18-25 that Joseph was not the actual father of Jesus. It was equally natural for Luke, a Greek himself and writing for the whole world, to give the actual genealogy of Jesus through Mary. Adam Clarke wrote : That St. Luke does not always speak of sons properly such, is evident from the first and last person which he names: Jesus Christ was only the supposed son of Joseph, because Joseph was the husband of his mother Mary: and Adam, who is said to be the son of God, was such only by creation. After this observation it is next necessary to consider, that, in the genealogy described by St. Luke, there are two sons improperly such: i.e. two sons-in-law, instead of two sons. As the Hebrews never permitted women to enter into their genealogical tables, whenever a family happened to end with a daughter, instead of naming her in the genealogy, they inserted her husband, as the son of him who was, in reality, but his father-in-law. This import, bishop Pearce has fully shown, nomizesqai bears, in a variety of places-Jesus was considered according to law, or allowed custom, to be the son of Joseph, as he was of Heli. The two sons-in-law who are to be noticed in this genealogy are Joseph the son-in-law of Heli, whose own father was Jacob, #Matt 1.16 ; and Salathiel, the son-in-law of Neri, whose own father was Jechonias: #1Chron 3.17 , and #Matthew 1.12 . |

Ro 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: Ro 1:16 ¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Ro 3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Ro 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Ro 4:9 ¶ Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. Ro 4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. Ro 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: Ro 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. Ro 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? Ro 10:12 ¶ For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. Ro 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: Ro 15:9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. |

177 | Atonement of Jesus Christ Deu.12:16-23 | Rom 3:25 | meusing | 44695 | ||
Rom 3:23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives. Rom 3:24 [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, Rom 3:25 Whom God put forward [before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received] through faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over and ignored former sins without punishment. Rom 3:26 It was to demonstrate and prove at the present time (in the now season) that He Himself is righteous and that He justifies and accepts as righteous him who has [true] faith in Jesus. |

I am not sure about a xtian, but a follower of Christ will not continue sinning knowing what it cost the Lord. We sometimes fall knowing 1 John 1:7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 1 John 1:8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts]. 1 John 1:9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. so we get up and continue in the Love of God, knowing we are not our own, but bought with a great price 1 Cor 6:20 |

179 | Whose will Jesus or me? | Rom 12:1 | meusing | 40079 | ||
This is where Romans 12:1 and 2 come in : Rom 12:1 I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. note especially the second half of the last verse. Like the psalmist said :"Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee." We have the promise of God which we can lay hold on to : Ps 32:8 I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. Ps 32:9 Be not like the horse or the mule, which lack understanding, which must have their mouths held firm with bit and bridle, or else they will not come with you. |

180 | LET'S LOVE ONE ANOTHER? | Rom 12:14 | meusing | 43439 | ||
Rom 12:14 Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their attitude toward you]; bless and do not curse them. Rom 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others' joy], and weep with those who weep [sharing others' grief]. Rom 12:16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits. [Prov. 3:7.] Rom 12:17 Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest and proper and noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. [Prov. 20:22.] Rom 12:18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Rom 12:19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God's] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord. [Deut. 32:35.] Rom 12:20 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. [Prov. 25:21, 22.] Rom 12:21 Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good. |
