Greetings Sweet, Here's a commentary from John Darby Reagarding John 9. I pray it helps. God Bless! Inheavenseyes From John Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament. John Chapter 9 In chapter 9 we come to the testimony of His works, but as down here as a man in lowliness. It is not the Son of God quickening whom He will as the Father, but by the operation of His grace down here, the eye opened to see in the lowly man the Son of God. In chapter 8 it is that which He is towards men; in chapter 9 it is that which He does in man, that man may see Him. Thus we shall find Him presented in His human character, and (the word being received) acknowledged to be the Son of God; and in this way the remnant separated, the sheep restored to the good Shepherd. He is the light of the world while He is in it; but where, through grace received in His humiliation, He communicated the power to see the light, and to see all things by it. Observe here, that when it is the word (the manifestation in testimony of what Christ is), man is manifested as he is in himself, a child-in his nature-of the devil, who is a murderer and a liar from the beginning, the inveterate enemy of Him who can say, "I am." [See Footnote #36] But when the Lord works, He produces something in man that he had not previously. He bestows sight on him, attaching him thus to the One who had enabled him to see. The Lord is not here understood or manifested in apparently as exalted a manner, because He comes down to the wants and circumstances of man, in order that He may be more closely known; but, in result, He brings the soul to the knowledge of His glorious Person. Only, instead of being the word and the testimony-the Word of God-to shew as light what man is, He is the Son, one with the Father, [See Footnote #37] giving eternal life to His sheep, and preserving them in this grace for ever. For, as to the blessing that flows from thence, and the full doctrine of His true position with regard to the sheep in blessing, chapter 10 goes with chapter 9. Chapter 10 is the continuation of the discourse begun at the end of chapter 9. Chapter 9 opens with the case of a man that gives rise to a question from the disciples, in relation to the government of God in Israel. Was it his parents' sin that brought this visitation on their child, according to the principles God had given them in Exodus? Or was it his own sin, known to God though not manifested to men, that had procured him this judgment? The Lord replies, that the man's condition did not depend on the government of God with respect to the sin either of himself or of his parents. His case was but the misery which gave room for the mighty operation of God in grace. It is the contrast that we have continually seen; but here it is in order to set forth the works of God. God acts. It is not only that which He is, nor even simply an object of faith. The presence of Jesus on earth made it day. It was therefore the time of work to do the works of Him that sent Him. But He who works here, works by means that teach us the union which exists between an object of faith and the power of God who works. He makes clay with His spittle and the earth, and puts it on the eyes of the man who was born blind. As a figure, it pointed to the humanity of Christ in earthly humiliation and lowliness, presented to the eyes of men, but with divine efficacy of life in Him. Did they see any more? If possible, their eyes were the more completely closed. Still the object was there; it touched their eyes, and they could not see it. The blind man then washes in the pool that was called "Sent," and is enabled to see clearly. The power of the Spirit and of the word, making Christ known as the One sent by the Father, gives him sight. It is the history of divine teaching in the heart of man. Christ, as man, touches us. We are absolutely blind, we see nothing. The Spirit of God acts, Christ being there before our eyes; and we see plainly. Thus the effect of His power was to blind those who saw, who were full of their own wisdom, whose light was darkness; and to give sight to those who were born blind. |

42 | Where is the Loving God???? | John 16:33 | inheavenseyes | 59495 | ||
friends, In the Bible there are a lot Of God's promises in every aspect and areas of life. However in so many times people just seem to make their way outs and make justification of themselves by counteracting through the Bible as well. In so many time I've heard of people especially the victims of brokenness, tragedies , problems, and sufferings, they would say if God is really a God of Love why doesn't He stop the sufferings of this world, why does He allow things to happen even to godly people? They would qoute Psalms 121 the shining Hero that neither slumbers and who will not allow any harm to His people? where is the truth in this text when life's crushing difficulties comes? there are still many passages that tells How Loving our God is. My question is How can we justify The God of Love in this world full of evil? How can we defend Him that amidst the sufferrings in Life He will remain to be our Loving God? I would appreciate very much if you can help me with this query. I often meet people who would strike me to such question and I feel lack of answers at times. Thank you and God Bless! inheavenseyes |

Greetings Satana, Song of Songs has a wonderful thing to say what a man should take from a woman and vice versa, 6:3 "Iam my lover's and my lover is mine. Let me also share this article I got from cfm ministry,org... "So many people go into marriage with expectations that probably cannot be attained. Do you need to review with yourself what marriage is? Open your bible and study God's Word for marriage. Do you know your biblical role as a husband or wife? Did you go into marriage with the idea that "I'll try it"? Solid marriages are built with the knowledge that this is "FOREVER"! It is THIS FOUNDATION that keeps the two from wandering too far apart! What is YOUR true vision of marriage? Do you both share that vision? If you honestly desire to try and make your marriage work, you will need to examine yourself. Then, you will be able to honestly speak to your partner with humility, as to what YOUR role has been to bring the marriage to this point. Your own humility should be the base for the other person to examine his or her role also. This may not happen exactly in the time that you wish, but you must pray for this person and leave the rest to God! One of you is going to have to break the misery, the silence, the anger, the tears. Work on yourself to become the person that God has intended you to become as husband or wife. Make YOUR life the example! In God, everything is possible! Your marriage can become the marriage that our Father wants for you! Seek God everyday, obeying His Word and walk in His light. He can bear your burdens, He can heal the pain and He can bring you both to a brand new life. Give thanks to God today even for the trials in your life. God has a wonderful way of turning our bad times into such joy! Don't ever forget that! Keep Him your first priority.....always! Let the Lord build you home and you'll not be in vain(Psalm 127:1) I pray this helps! God Bless! inheavenseyes |

committing adultery comes in many forms and the absence of sex doesn't even justify that you're not committing adultery, " But anyone who looks a t a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Continue to read Matthew 19, the Bible is consistent to everything and on matters on adultery, divorce and its kind is very clear.I pray the text above will be of help to you! God Bless! inheavenseyes |

47 | ways to have satisfaction | 1 Tim 6:6 | inheavenseyes | 60850 | ||
Greetings St. Julien, The Lord knows what's best for us but human as we are we want to get more than what is sufficient for us.The life that is centered in Jesus Christ need not to worry in nothingness and in abundance. True fulfillment is in Him. Here's an article from Bibleinfo.com for this matter. I pray that you'll find peace and contentment in Him. God Bless! inheavenseyes What brings contentment? Contentment is a gift from God and grows out of having His perspective on life.Philippians 4:12-13, NIV. "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Contentment grows out of humility and trust in God.Psalm 131:1, NIV. "My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me." Contentment grows out of devotion to Christ and eternal values.Matthew 6:24, NIV. "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." Coveting is a barrier to contentment.Exodus 20:17, NIV. "You shall not covet your neighbor¡¯s house. You shall not covet your neighbor¡¯s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." Materialism is a barrier to contentment. 1 Timothy 6:9, NIV. "People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction." |

48 | Love a consuming fire? | Heb 12:29 | inheavenseyes | 60048 | ||
God is Love (John 4:8) I believe that with all my heart. I know that even if I/we quit loving Him He won't quit loving me/us. However, referring to the text above, how can we justify this text to one who He is A God of Love? How can one love a consuming fire? Are we to take the word "consuming Fire" in its literal meaning or there is something deep to mean it? |

51 | what is following His Footsteps to you? | 1 Pet 2:21 | inheavenseyes | 60630 | ||
What does following His footsteps really mean especially for us Christians? I just wonder if all of us who claimed to be Jesus follower, why are there so many others who are still suffering from the burden of sin. Could it be that so many of us also can't give a full meaning of following His Steps. We can't speak for others so let me know your idea personally. Thanks and God Bless! inheavenseyes |

54 | sin is the absence of right behavior? | 1 John 3:4 | inheavenseyes | 60190 | ||
Lawlessness is sin, that's true but are we to base sin just on the absence of right behavior or not abiding the law? Do we think if we can come up with a comprehensive enough sin list, and avoid all the items on the list, that the effort will make us sinless? |
||||||
55 | follow-up | 1 John 3:4 | inheavenseyes | 60349 | ||
Greetings Makarios, Basing from your answer so you agree that sin is just the absence of right behavior or the other way to say it to have no sin is to do what is right? Is sin just to be base on behavior? inheavenseyes |
||||||
56 | follow-up | 1 John 3:4 | inheavenseyes | 60350 | ||
greetings Tim, Thanks for the answer but you seem to agree the same that sin is still base on behavior, neglecting to do what is right ( comission and omission) even when you said we just have to trust Christ who forgives, you're no stil go back to behavior, isn't it. it's not making the question complicated but i want an answer to whether sin is just base on behavior? Thanks and hope to hear from you again! Peace to you as well! inheavenseyes |
||||||
57 | follow-up | 1 John 3:4 | inheavenseyes | 60416 | ||
Makarios, I'm sorry but i guess, my question is clear. And let me say it again, Is sin just merely base on the absence of right behavior, though I supposed you've given me your answer that sin is base on behavior, am i right? I'm collecting ideas and let me say my peace later. Thanks for the answer and God Bless! inheavenseyes |
||||||
58 | follow-up | 1 John 3:4 | inheavenseyes | 60417 | ||
