lil girl 4 Christ Do you "KNOW" that you are in violation of the Terms Of Use? The section "AREAS THAT REQUIRE REGISTRATION FOR ACCESS" states in part, "you may not ACCESS these areas unless you have registered with us to do so. By registering in these areas, you are representing to The Lockman Foundation that you are at least 18 years old (or the minimum legal age in the jurisdiction in which you are viewing The Restricted Area)." The reasons for not communicating to minors should be obvious. Secondly, you do not follow rules or you chose to ignore them. Please, for the sake of all the others on this forum, terminate your posting or you will be reported! This is for your own good, you mean well, but please, not here. Thank you and God bless you. |

323 | the barren branch never was a branch? | John 15:2 | inmyheart | 47655 | ||
Once again, greetings my friend, I happened to come across this commentary that gives the information that you seek. I find this this view was very helpful. Here it is; When Jesus is gone, they must still abide in Him and bear fruit. 1. John 15:1-3, Jesus: the true vine a. Jesus may have said this in view of, or as they passed the great golden vine on the front of the temple; the vine that symbolized the nation Israel. b. The vine is a familiar Old Testament symbol for Israel (Psalm 80:8-9) but is often used in a negative sense (Isaiah 5:1-2,7 - Jeremiah 2:21) c. In contrast, Jesus is the true vine: one must be rooted in Him, not Israel, if one is to bear fruit for God. d. The branches that are taken away were never properly abiding in the vine; the ones that bear fruit are "cleansed (not "removed" by pruning), and that through the Word. i. The Word is a cleansing force: it condemns sin, it inspires holiness; it promotes growth; it reveals power for victory. ii Boice believes that the verb "airo" commonly translated "takes away" here is more accurately translated "lifts up" - the Father lifts up unproductive vines off of the ground (as is common in vinedressings), that they may get more sun and bear fruit better. Praying that this is what you were after, but anyway, it's always good to hear someone's point of view. It's my belief that the Holy Spirit will give revelation of the Word. Thank you again my friend for taking the time to review this post. Again this is just another view, always confirm with the Word of God. God bless you as He draws you closer to Him. |
