Again, you twist the sayings of Immanuel to make them say what you want them to say. The two prophets were not with Jesus there. Jesus said "some standing here" he meant that some of those who were standing there with Him would not die util they saw the Kingdom of God come in power. Most of those who were there wer in the upper room when the Holy Ghost came in POWER; and John saw Jesus come in power in Revelation before he died. |

We do know that his sons Alexander and Rufus were devout disciples when they grew up. No doubt because of their father and mother's faith and teaching. Alexander is mentioned in Acts 19:33 as trying to give a defense of Paul and his companians in Ephesus. Paul mentioned Rufus in Romans 16.13. |

230 | What is a Christian? | Luke 9:32 | meusing | 39948 | ||
"He will then Judge our sins, not forgive them. " Then why does He say : John 3:17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. 18 He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.] Jesus said the basis of His judgement is : John 5:24 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life. Since Jesus is the Truth, and obidience to the good news is to believe it and disobeience is to reject it then yes Rom 2:6 For He will render to every man according to his works [justly, as his deeds deserve]: [Ps. 62:12.] 7 To those who by patient persistence in well-doing [springing from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [the eternal blessedness of] immortality, He will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and self-willed and disobedient to the Truth but responsive to wickedness, there will be indignation and wrath. 9 [And] there will be tribulation and anguish and calamity and constraint for every soul of man who [habitually] does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek (Gentile). But, Praise the Lord : Rom 8:1 THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, |

231 | What is a Christian? | Luke 9:32 | meusing | 40183 | ||
So you say that Jesus LIED. He said He will not Judge thouse who believed in Him. You say he will. Who is right? You? or the Holy One of God? No one is worthy. It is God's love and grace that is the basis of our salvation. As the hymn goes : From whence this fear and unbelief, If God, my Father, put to grief His spotless Son for me? Can He, the righteous Judge of men, Comdemn me for that debt of sin Which, Lord, was charged to Thee? Complete atonement Thou hast made, And to the utmost farthing paid Whate'er Thy people owed ; How, then can wrath on me take place, If sheltered in God's righteousness And sprinkled by Thy blood ? If Thou hast my discharge procured, And freely in my place endured The whole of wrath divine ; Payment God will not twice demand, First at my bleeding Surety's hand, And then again at mine. Turn, then, my soul, unto thy rest; The merits of thy great High Priest Speak peace and libery ; Trust in His efficacious blood, Nor fear thy banishment from God, Since Jesus died for thee. A. Toplady |

232 | I would like a reflection Luke 12: 16-34 | Luke 12:15 | meusing | 44946 | ||
the whole passage seems to start in vers 13 when one of the comapany asked him to be a judge between himslef and his brother. Jesus warned against covetousness v. 15 Then he started the parable (16) to warn us not to try to get treasure here on earth. (21) He then went on to show how the ravens and lilies were provided for, and encouraged them (and us ) to look to the providence of God. for where yourtreasure is there will your heart be also. |

233 | Reflection Luke 12:16-34 applies now | Luke 12:34 | meusing | 44948 | ||
I think Col 3:1-2 are the direct application of what Jesus is teaching... Col 3:1 IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [Ps. 110:1.] Col 3:2 And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. Col 3:3 For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. Col 3:4 When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory. |

234 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:34 | meusing | 44982 | ||
to Christ, as Calvin remarked ... as the disciples had asked, Where, Lord? that is, "How shall we stand erect amidst so great shaking? and how shall we remain safe amidst such dangerous storms? and to what places of concealment shall we resort for protection, when we are united?" Christ declares, as we find in Matthew--that he is the banner of solid union, and in which all the children of God must be gathered. |

235 | Does someone have an answer? | Luke 22:36 | meusing | 40816 | ||
Adam Clarke said : Verse 36. He that hath no sword... Bishop PEARCE supposes that the word macairan, sword, has been inserted here from what is said in ver. 38, as it is evident our Lord never intended to make any resistance, or to suffer a sword to be used on the occasion; see #Matt 26.52 . The word stands rather oddly in the passage: the verse, translated in the order in which it stands, is as follows: And he who hath none, let him sell his garment and buy-a sword. Now it is plain that the verb pwlhsatw, let him buy, may be referred to phran a scrip, in the former part of the verse: therefore if, according to the bishop's opinion, the word sword be omitted, the passage may be understood thus: "When I sent you out before, #10.1 , etc., I intended you to continue itinerants only for a few days, and to preach the Gospel only to your country-men; therefore you had but little need of a staff, purse, or scrip, as your journey was neither long, nor expensive; but now I am about to send you into all the world, to preach the Gospel to every creature; and, as ye shall be generally hated and persecuted for my sake, ye shall have need to make every prudent provision for your journey; and so necessary will it be for you to provide yourselves victuals, etc., for your passage through your inhospitable country, that, if any of you have no scrip or wallet, he should sell even his upper garment to provide one." Others, who are for retaining the word sword, think that it was a proverbial expression, intimating a time of great difficulty and danger, and that now the disciples had need to look to themselves, for his murderers were at hand. The reader will observe that these words were spoken to the disciples just before he went to the garden of Gethsemane, and that the danger was now so very near that there could be no time for any of them to go and sell his garment in order to purchase a sword to defend himself and his Master from the attack of the Jewish mob. Judea was at this time, as we have already noticed, much infested by robbers: while our Lord was with his disciples, they were perfectly safe, being shielded by his miraculous power. Shortly they must go into every part of the land, and will need weapons to defend themselves against wild beasts, and to intimidate wicked men, who, if they found them totally defenceless, would not hesitate to make them their prey, or take away their life. However the matter may be understood, we may rest satisfied that these swords were neither to be considered as offensive weapons, nor instruments to propagate the truth. The genius and spirit of the Christian religion is equally against both. Perhaps, in this counsel of our Lord, he refers to the contention about supremacy: as if he had said, Instead of contending among yourselves about who shall be the greatest, ye have more need to unite yourselves against the common enemy, who are now at hand: this counsel was calculated to show them the necessity of union among themselves, as their enemies were both numerous and powerful. |

236 | Name two tavellers in Luke 24:13 | Luke 24:13 | meusing | 40476 | ||
John Gill said: Ver. 13. And behold two of them went that same day,.... Two of the disciples, as the Persic version reads; not of the eleven apostles, for it is certain that one of them was not an apostle; but two of the seventy disciples, or of the society of the hundred and twenty that were together: one of these was Cleophas or Alphaeus, as appears from Lu 24:18 the other is, by some, thought to be Luke the Evangelist, as Theophylact on the place observes, who, out of modesty, mentions not his name; others have thought that Nathanael was the other person; and Dr. Lightfoot seems very confident, from Lu 24:34 that the Apostle Peter was the other; but it is not certain who he was: however, this very remarkable affair happened, and therefore a "behold" is prefixed to it, on the "same day"; the first day of the week; the day on which Christ rose from the dead; and the third day from his death it was, see Lu 24:1 that these two disciples travelled |

All the verses say are that 'His own' (the Jews) did not recieve Him. A. T. Robertson explained ... Unto his own (eiß ta idia). Neuter plural, "unto his own things," the very idiom used in #John 19:27 when the Beloved Disciple took the mother of Jesus "to his own home." The world was "the own home" of the Logos who had made it. See also #John 16:32 Acts 21:6. They that were his own (oi idioi). In the narrower sense, "his intimates," "his own family," "his own friends" as in #John 13:1. Jesus later said that a prophet is not without honour save in his own country (#Mark 6:4 John 4:44), and the town of Nazareth where he lived rejected him (#Luke 4:28 Matthew 13:58). Probably here oi idioi means the Jewish people, the chosen people to whom Christ was sent first (#Matthew 15:24), but in a wider sense the whole world is included in oi idioi. Conder's The Hebrew Tragedy emphasizes the pathos of the situation that the house of Israel refused to welcome the Messiah when he did come, like a larger and sadder Enoch Arden experience. Received him not (auton ou parelabon). Second aorist active indicative of paralambanw, old verb to take to one's side, common verb to welcome, the very verb used by Jesus in #John 14:3 of the welcome to his Father's house. Cf. katelaben in verse 5. Israel slew the Heir (#Hebrews 1:2) when he came, like the wicked husbandmen (#Luke 20:14). They continue to be the apple of His eye, but they rejected their Messiah. read Romans 9-11. |

that is what I meant when I said read Romans 9-11. Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not follow after righteousness [who did not seek salvation by right relationship to God] have attained it by faith [a righteousness imputed by God, based on and produced by faith], Rom 9:31 Whereas Israel, though ever in pursuit of a law [for the securing] of righteousness (right standing with God), actually did not succeed in fulfilling the Law. [Isa. 51:1.] Rom 10:19 Again I ask, Did Israel not understand? [Did the Jews have no warning that the Gospel was to go forth to the Gentiles, to all the earth?] First, there is Moses who says, I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry. [Deut. 32:21.] Rom 10:20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, I have been found by those who did not seek Me; I have shown (revealed) Myself to those who did not [consciously] ask for Me. [Isa. 65:1.] Rom 10:21 But of Israel he says, All day long I have stretched out My hands to a people unyielding and disobedient and self-willed [to a faultfinding, contrary, and contradicting people]. [Isa. 65:2.] Rom 11:2 No, God has not rejected and disowned His people [whose destiny] He had marked out and appointed and foreknown from the beginning. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? [Ps. 94:14; I Kings 19.] Rom 11:28 From the point of view of the Gospel (good news), they [the Jews, at present] are enemies [of God], which is for your advantage and benefit. But from the point of view of God's choice (of election, of divine selection), they are still the beloved (dear to Him) for the sake of their forefathers. Rom 11:31 So they also now are being disobedient [when you are receiving mercy], that they in turn may one day, through the mercy you are enjoying, also receive mercy [that they may share the mercy which has been shown to you--through you as messengers of the Gospel to them]. |
