21 | Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? | Luke 9:42 | Immanuelsown | 207148 | ||
Steve, Your saying (he chose) not to do miracles, because of (their unbelief.) OK, Lets look at from the other direction then. (Brackets, and Capitals for Emphasis) Matthew 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they ( BROUGHT UNTO HIM ALL SICK ) people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, ( HE WITHDREW HIMSELF FROM THENCE:) and ( GREAT MULTITUDES FOLLOWED HIM,) and he healed them all; Luke 4:40 Now when the sun was setting, ( ALL THEY THAT HAD ANY SICK ) with divers diseases (BROUGHT THEM UNTO HIM;) and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. Luke 6:17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, (WHICH CAME TO HEAR HIM, AND TO BE HEALED OF THEIR DISEASES;) Luke 6:19 ( AND THE WHOLE MULTITUDE SOUGHT TO TOUCH HIM:) for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. It appears from the preceding verses, when the people (did believe) they came (TO) him, sought him out, tried to touch him, when he withdrew they followed. In light of these scriptures, using your reasoning, what then is the determining factor, as to why (he chose) to heal them all? Was it their belief (alone) or was it in conjunction with the actions (movement) they took towards him? Because we see, there were many healed? What I am saying is, there belief (faith) mixed with the action (seeking), caused the Virtue of God, to flow thereby causing the miracles. God wants for all to be (healed, saved,) but that event cannot take place in our lives until we come to HIM. Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: ( FOR HE THAT COMETH ) to God must believe that he is, and that he is a ( REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.) In Him Imm |

22 | Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? | Luke 9:42 | Immanuelsown | 207135 | ||
Steve, I'm not offended, nor have I been, I answered as I did, in order for you to fully understand, I was not speaking out of someone else's beliefs. ie.(Commentaries) Or for other people, as per. your questions. # 1, 2 1) "Can you help me understand why people look for another reason in this passage?" 2) " And further more, why it is those that do seem to look for a reason based on the people and not Jesus?" I cannot speak for others beliefs, I only state my own. As I read, and study, I find what I can live with, as far as belief goes. The point is, the scripture in question, isn't something that is a hinge, to my salvation. Therefore I personally am satisfied with my own belief, as to why not many mighty works were done there. Ask yourself this question.) There are thousands, upon thousands of people that believe Benny Henn has a Ministry of Healing form God. (If you were sick with cancer, would you go to him?) If not why? I am not arguing the point that the people did not believe, I am saying that the possibility exists, the non-belief is (was) the motivating factor. If there is anyone out there in the Forum, that can point out the GREEK in this matter, it would be greatly appreciated. Is there any way in the Greek to prove one way or the other? Look, you are saying Jesus chose not to do any miracles, I am saying the people chose not to ask him, because of their UN - BELIEF. I can fully see, and fully accept what you are saying. It doesn't make a difference, or change who Jesus is. "JESUS CHRIST IS KING, OF KINGS AND LORD, OF LORDS" I'm not here to argue, and debate I'm here to learn, as you are. Eph. 4:3 The differences in our opinions, are what make this FORUM possible, we come from different backgrounds, with different experiences, that cause all of us to believe what, and how we do, your not wrong, I'm not right, were different that's all. "This is the kind of thing, that has fragmented the Body of Christ" Amos 3:3 In Him Imm |

Steve, In answer to your question. I do not, and have not, put myself forward, as someone purporting to speak for others. The opinion was solely my own. Not influenced by Commentaries, Theologies, or the Writings, of any other person on the face of the earth. It's as valid as any other (opinion). 58) And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Maybe it's as simple as, they said they knew him, (THEREFORE THEIR OWN UNBELIEF), wouldn't allow them to come to him for anything? There really isn't any definitive answer to it. So we are left with (conjecture), any one (opinion) is as good as any other. In Him Imm |

bowler, You used the following scripture for your question, maybe it's as simple as, they said they knew him, therefore their own unbelief wouldn't allow them to come to him for anything? It also sounds like it might not have just been the people of Nazareth, but some of his own brothers, and sisters, that didn't believe he was the Christ. That could have been a (possible) influence on the people. There really isn't any definitive answer to it. Matthew 13:54;58 54) And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? 55) Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56) And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? 57) And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. 58) And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. In Him Imm |

25 | Why is love philandros not agapao? | Titus 2:4 | Immanuelsown | 206983 | ||
bowler, Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Reverence: 1: honor or respect felt or shown : deference; especially : profound adoring awed respect 2: a gesture of respect (as a bow) synonyms: (honor, homage, reverence, deference) mean respect and esteem shown to another. (honor) may apply to the recognition of one's right to great respect or to any expression of such recognition (homage) adds the implication of accompanying praise (reverence) implies profound respect mingled with love, devotion, or awe (deference) implies a yielding or submitting to another's judgment or preference out of respect or reverence Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary As we read the verses on the Virtuous woman, we see her esteeming others above herself, everything she does is first, for her Husbands Honor, then she esteems her children, above herself, working for their benefit. Proverbs 31:10-31 We as the Bride of Christ, are to reverence the Lord, (as our husband), and to esteem the brethren above ourselves. (As the children of the Father) 1) If the man is to love his wife, as Christ loves the church, and gave himself for it, 2) Then the wife should have the same love for her husband, as the Church has for Christ. 3) That's as close as I can come to expressing, the kind of (LOVE) she should have for her husband.

skccab I feel that it is saying, don't be high minded, or boastful towards the Jews, thinking that we are something special, or better than they, (we are still the wild branches). They WILL be grafted back in, because of their Jealousy of our relationship with GOD. 17) And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18) Boast not against the branches.

28 | will most people go to hell? | Matt 7:14 | Immanuelsown | 206570 | ||
bowler, On the one hand God says I don't want any to perish, that he wants all to be saved. (2 Peter 3:9) (1 Tim. 2:4) But you say destruction, is the course for the majority, with God being sovereign, choosing whom He will let His Grace shine on. It then appears God is in conflict with Himself, or is He just over populating Hell for the fun of it ? As for (Matthew 7:13-14) Those two verses sound like, everyone spoken of, are making the choice for themselves.(Narrow?) (Wide?) In Him Imm |

Unless two are agreed, how can they walk together? Seems like the only place where that statement is true, is in the church. People disagree every day, and still walk together, for money! Maybe this will put it into perspective. Are (ALL) of the Gifts of the Spirit functioning today? Are they for today? Please answer, you can then see the ( DIVISIONS ) we have in this microcosm of the Church, called the forum. In Him Imm |

32 | What Happened To The Tribe Of Dan? | Rev 7:5 | Immanuelsown | 206381 | ||
bowler, I know you must have by now looked at these, but if you haven't #19286-7 gives a good account of Dan. My own thoughts are, going along with what this other post says, Dan disappeared. Manasses is apparently counted for Dan. Revelation 7:4-8 144,000 12 tribes of Israel 4) And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5) Of the tribe of (JUDA) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (REUBEN) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (GAD) were sealed twelve thousand. 6 ) Of the tribe of (ASER) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (NEPHTHALI) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (MANASSES) were sealed twelve thousand. 7) Of the tribe of (Simeon) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (LEVI) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (ISSACHAR) were sealed twelve thousand. 8) Of the tribe of (ZABULON) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (JOSEPH) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (BENJAMIN) were sealed twelve thousand In Him Imm |

34 | Exasperate - examples? | Col 3:21 | Immanuelsown | 206315 | ||
stjohn, op's sorry, I didn't look at the date, only the post, Exasperate - examples? getsmart The answers given, sounded like they were trying to figure out wether or not, the assigning of rules for there kids, would in some way frustrate them, and that someday the kids would know they had acted foolishly. These are their answers given, in order 1) dmspen "Clearly we cannot, as parents, not set limits or rules. I believe the context here is that we shouldn't set rules that we, as our children's role models, don't follow" 2) cjjeep "sometimes in spite of everything you've done, your children can continue in rebellion nevertheless" "they'll come back and admit to you that they had acted foolishly in their youth" 3) biblesawyer "When my kids do something wrong like they fight sometimes, and don't listen about picking up there mess of toys,.I make them aware of the consequences to there choices" The word Provoke, gives a meaning, that it seemed was missing, in the answers given to getsmart. If you had a Tiger in a cage, and you poked him repeatedly with a stick, do you think, you would get a reaction? Would you be expecting to see, the Tiger roll on it's back and puuur, like a kitten? Provoke in this instance means to Premeditate the outcome of your actions, towards your child, to bring about ANGER. Discouraged, because you are in authority over them, and you are abusing that power, (frustrated) would work in this place as well. Because the child is not aloud to retaliate. From the following definitions, I didn't see where the answers applied, to the verse in questin. As I saw it. Makes me think, of the line in the Lords Prayer, where WE as the CHILD pray, "Lead us not into Temptation" Isn't that what the Forum is for? To clarify scripture, to come to the full understanding of a verse, to me the (KJV) gave a different approach, that's all. Just a question for clarification, this isn't a (NASB, Amplified) Forum only is it? The Free Dictionary Google provoke Verb [-voking, -voked] 1. to deliberately act in a way intended to anger someone: 2. to incite or stimulate: 3. to cause a person to react in a particular, often angry, way: 4. to bring about: [Latin provocare to call forth] pro·voke (pr-vk) tr.v. pro·voked, pro·vok·ing, pro·vokes 1. To incite to anger or resentment. 2. To stir to action or feeling. 3. To give rise to; evoke: 4. To bring about deliberately; induce: Synonyms: provoke, incite, excite, stimulate, arouse, rouse, stir1 These verbs mean to move a person to action or feeling or to summon something into being by so moving a person. Provoke often merely states the consequences produced: The reason I made the distinction between the different translations was, I always read the verse posted at the top of the question asked, in the KJV also I'm sorry, but to me the word exasperate, doesn't carry the same weight that provoke does, to me it sounds like it is something that happens to make the situation worse than it was, where provoke, caused the situation in the first place ex·as·per·ate (g-zsp-rt) tr.v. ex·as·per·at·ed, ex·as·per·at·ing, ex·as·per·ates 1. To make very angry or impatient; annoy greatly. 2. To increase the gravity or intensity of: synonyms aggravate, exacerbate anger - infuriate, incense worsen Hoping this will answer your question, tried to make it short as I could. It all comes down to a different interpretation of the verse. Yes the word provoke was in the Amplified, but with all of the other words there also, it still didn't sound as clear as it does to me in the (KJV). Sorry, but thats my opinion. Colossians 3:21 (NASB) 21) Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart. AMPLIFIED 21) Fathers, do not provoke or irritate or fret your children [do not be hard on them or harass them], lest they become discouraged and sullen and morose and feel inferior and frustrated. [Do not break their spirit.] (KJV) 21) Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. In Him Imm |

Stjohn, Child of God, I would suggest, in Love for the brethern. Both of you go back to 2 Pet. 2:1 and see, just who Peter is talking about,"warning us about". Peter is saying there will be False Teachers, like the False Prophets. Then we are told what will happen to them, and why. 2Pe.2:12,13 I think you both could agree with this assertion . "They ARE NOT SAVED"! They never were. The Teachers. We don't need the Whole counsel of Scripture, the ones I've posted are enough, to understand this chapter. In Him Imm |
