63 | Can anyone tell how he understand that? | John 6:54 | terrib | 150197 | ||
Greetings Jeanpierrelibre, Welcome! Concerning John 6:54: The subject matter has its start with (John 6:25) when the people were looking for Jesus and asked Him how He got across the sea. And Jesus perceived that they came for food (John 6:26). Thus starts a basis for the subject that your verse has to do with (the bread of life). John 6:27 - don't labor for things that perish. John 6:28 - then What shall we do? the people ask. John 6:29 - they were to believe in Him that God sent. John 6:30-31 - Then the people ask, If you are from God what can you do, for we follow Moses because he gave manna from heaven. Jesus then explains to them them that He is the Bread of Heaven and whomever partakes of Him shall not die. This continues down through (John 6:51) were Jesus tells them that He shall give His flesh and spill His blood for the world. And (John 6:53) except we partake of Jesus (believe in Him) we will not have eternal life. Therefore in John 6:54 Jesus is not saying that they should eat His body and drink His blood literally, but He is talking to them spiritually about accepting Him that He has come into the world to save the world by being the sin offering for us. And Jesus proclaims that what He has said is spirit and not flesh in John 6:63 "...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." The manna the Jews talked about only reserved and supported life, it did not preserve and perpetuate life, much less restore it; but Christ gives life to those that are dead in their sins. The manna was ordained only for the life of the Israelites, but Christ is given for the life of the world; none are excluded from the benefit of this Bread of Heaven. If we believe. Therefore, eat My flesh and drink My blood are words of spirit and should not be taken as literal canabalism. By the way, this event should not be confused with the institution of the Lord's Supper. But Jesus uses these same symbols, His flesh as the bread, and His blood as the wine, at that supper. They are spirit and life. Hope this helps, terrib |

Hi Matt, Now we are straying into a realm that this forum is not intended for. Counciling should be between God, you and probably your pastor. But, if Ben is your friend, let him see Christ living in you. And don't push. He will see something in you that he doesn't have and God will draw him. (Joh 6:44) "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." Live your life in front of him honestly and live your life out of his sight honestly. If you are hypocritical, he will see it. Other than this, I would talk with your pastor. And keep praying for him. terrib |

67 | why doesnt god have the power? | John 3:16 | terrib | 150108 | ||
Hi Matt, The very first essential thing to remember is that God is Holy.(Lev 21:8) Therefore, since God is Holy, He cannot lie and will not go back on any covenant that He makes. In other words, He cannot get out of a deal that He has made. "why is it, that if he loves everyone, that those who dont follow him go to hell?" In Genesis, He was with Adam and put it to him this way, "Look Adam, I have made you and put you in this beautiful place and you can do whatever you wish. The only thing I ask is you do not eat of this one tree. All these other things are yours for the taking. The first couple could do what they wanted, they could choose to play with the lion or the bear or a lamb and enjoy being gardeners and just enjoy life with God that God had given them. But, there was a contract, and since God made them, what could they do but accept the contract. Well, we know how the story goes, don't we. Man broke the contract. So, how do we repair what was done. Well, we can't, but God does love us so much He says, I will help them and give them another chance. I will give them my Son for an offering for their sins. (John 3:16). If they believe in this offering that I am giving them I will accept them back into the relationship that we first had and give them another chance and give them even more. I will send My prophets and preachers to them, Enoch, Noah, Moses, Elijah and more to let them know how to live rightly. I will show them great wonders. I will feed them and clothe them if they follow Me. But, I am still under My contract, "That the soul that sins will die, the contract I made with Adam." They have the choice between Good and evil. "how come satan has a lot more power as far as who gets saved goes?" Satan does have the power to bring things into our lives, example, Job, but we have the final say as to the choices we make. Job chose not to curse God even with his wife's nagging about it (Job 2:9). The willfulness of an evil life happens because the spirit or the conscience of the wicked has been seared shut (1Tim 4:2). Like an open wound, one would get a hot iron and close the wound, well that is what some have done with their conscience, they have sealed it up inside that they no longer listen to their own inner guide. They have become reprobate (without conscience thought of anything Godly), (Rom 1:28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind..."). Again is comes to choice. God is continually calling, preachers are still calling, the forum is still calling and this continiual calling is the love of God, calling and calling, but some will not hear, so the contract must enforced. Does this help any? terrib |

Hi Matt, Glad you came by the forum. There is always someone here to help with Bible answers. At one stage or another in our lives we all have questions and this is a good place to try and find the answers that pertain to you in your walk with the Lord. In the meantime, while your thinking about that question, continue in your quest to get to know our Father and the Son, for He desires this also, and that is why He gave us His love letter - the Bible.

70 | prevent | Gen 2:16 | terrib | 149780 | ||
Hi umagumadog, There weren't any angels involved. They were cherubims. A different heavenly creature than angels. Gen 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Weather they ate of the tree of life or not wouldn't matter. God said don't eat of the tree of knowledge or you will die. If they ate of the tree of life and disobeyed they would die. If they did not eat of the tree of life and disobeyed they would die. It was the disobediance that brought the sin on them, not the tree of knowledge itself. Plus the Scriptures does not tells us if God even told Adam and Eve that there was a tree of life. So they may have been oblivious to it to begin with. Does that help? terrib |

Hi umagumadog, Concerning questions: "What would have happend if man had ate of the tree of life before he did the tree of knowledge? Man had Gods permision to eat from it so why didn't he?" Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of EVERY tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt NOT eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Capitals are mine for enhancement.) Is there some Scriptural reference that says that man did NOT eat of the tree of life? Except AFTER their sin. terrib Interesting screen name, does it have some significance to you? |

74 | What is meant by Know Salvation by Faith | 2 Tim 3:15 | terrib | 149728 | ||
Greetings saint_of_God, Welcome! Are you referring to: 2Ti 3:15 And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (?) If so: Not all seed that falls to the ground will germinate (parable). Likewise not all of man that reads the Bible will get anything out of it. But the ear that receives the Gospel by faith then receives salvation. So the knowledge of your salvation comes through the faith you have in what you have read and now believe. To put it another way, by faith you received salvation from the knowledge you received from the Scriptures. Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Greetings Karol and welcome, Although the Scriptures and not explicit in describing of this prophesy, some thoughts are: The exhortation he may have received from some prophets: Acts 15:32 "And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them." (and-or) the presbyters at Ephesus; who may have charged him to remain faithful: For the presbyters where to - "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." Acts 20:28 Also, he had a good report from the brothers: Act 16:2 “Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. “ Any or all of these may have been the prophecy, but we do know he kept the faith and was martyred: “Timothy was the celebrated disciple of St. Paul, and bishop of Ephesus, where he zealously governed the Church until A.D. 97. At this period, as the pagans were about to celebrate a feast called Catagogion, Timothy, meeting the procession, severely reproved them for their ridiculous idolatry, which so exasperated the people that they fell upon him with their clubs, and beat him in so dreadful a manner that he expired of the bruises two days later. “ - Fox’s Book of Martyrs Hope this may help, terrib |

76 | Why were Nazarines forbidden grapes? | Num 6:3 | terrib | 149636 | ||
Hi Maude, Welcome to the forum! From : Jamieson, Fausett and Brown Commentary. When either man or woman ... shall vow a vow of a Nazarite — that is, “a separated one,” from a Hebrew word, “to separate.” It was used to designate a class of persons who, under the impulse of extraordinary piety and with a view to higher degrees of religious improvement, voluntarily renounced the occupations and pleasures of the world to dedicate themselves unreservedly to the divine service. The vow might be taken by either sex, provided they had the disposal of themselves (Num 30:4), and for a limited period - usually a month or a lifetime (Jdg 13:5; Jdg 16:17). We do not know, perhaps, the whole extent of abstinence they practised. But they separated themselves from three things in particular - namely, from wine, and all the varieties of vinous produce; from the application of a razor to their head, allowing their hair to grow; and from pollution by a dead body. The reasons of the self-restrictions are obvious. The use of wine tended to inflame the passions, intoxicate the brain, and create a taste for luxurious indulgence. The cutting off the hair being a recognized sign of uncleanness (Lev 14:8, Lev 14:9), its unpolled luxuriance was a symbol of the purity he professed. Besides, its extraordinary length kept him in constant remembrance of his vow, as well as stimulated others to imitate his pious example. Moreover, contact with a dead body, disqualifying for the divine service, the Nazarite carefully avoided such a cause of unfitness, and, like the high priest, did not assist at the funeral rites of his nearest relatives, preferring his duty to God to the indulgence of his strongest natural affections. Hope this helps, terrib |

77 | true explaction of 23 psalm | Ps 23:1 | terrib | 149511 | ||
Hello Wilma62, Welcome to the forum. Since we do not know what the church taught about Psalm 23 to give the same message would be difficult. But, offered below is a commentary from Matthew Henry. "Many of David's psalms are full of complaints, but this is full of comforts, and the expressions of delight in God's great goodness and dependence upon him. It is a psalm which has been sung by good Christians, and will be while the world stands, with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction. I. The psalmist here claims relation to God, as his shepherd (Psa 23:1). II. He recounts his experience of the kind things God had done for him as his shepherd (Psa 23:2, Psa 23:3, Psa 23:5). III. Hence he infers that he should want no good (Psa 23:1), that he needed to fear no evil (Psa 23:4), that God would never leave nor forsake him in a way of mercy; and therefore he resolves never to leave nor forsake God in a way of duty (Psa 23:6). In this he had certainly an eye, not only to the blessings of God's providence, which made his outward condition prosperous, but to the communications of God's grace, received by a lively faith, and returned in a warm devotion, which filled his soul with joy unspeakable. And, as in the foregoing psalm he represented Christ dying for his sheep, so here he represents Christians receiving the benefit of all the care and tenderness of that great and good shepherd." And since we are sheep may I offer a personal view. Permit me a little latitude and envision it from a sheep's viewpoint. "The LORD is my shepherd": I am a sheep and a dumb animal but I follow the one I have trust in. "I shall not want": there is nothing more that I desire but to be with my Shepard. "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures": in restful places in which I can dwell safely. "He leadeth me beside the still waters": by the tranquil waters, for He knows that if rough waters were to take me away my wool would get wet and I would drown. He will not put on me more than I can handle. "He restoreth my soul": when I am wearied, worn and exhausted, He takes me into His arms and comforts me, caresses me, whispers His care for me and re-kindles in me life, again. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.": And when I go from pasture to pasture and I know not what awaits me there, for they are new to me, I will take comfort, because I hear His voice, His guiding words and whistles and I can feel the gentle tapping of His staff keeping me on the path so I will not fall into the ravines. "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.": and when I get to those new pastures with their lush greens and the wolves that are there waiting to devour me, there He is, ever watchful, keeping me safe, anointing me with all His kindness. Oh, how I love my Shepard, my joy cannot be contained as my bleetings proclaim. "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.": I am smitten with this Shepard, only good can come from my relationship with Him. I will stay with this Shepard, for who else will care for me like this One and I love Him for it. Hope this helps, terrib |

78 | wjhat are the qualifications being | John 3:16 | terrib | 149506 | ||
Hello Rainey, Welcome to the forum, Your inquiry: "i am looking for more scripture on how does one get anointed or has the anointing as a child ofGod." Perhaps we should do a little history first. The priest of the tabernacle is spoken of as “anointed” Exo 29:7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him. Lev 4:3 If the priest that is anointed... Lev 8:12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. A most significant application, not to sacred things, but to certain sacred persons. The oldest and most sacred of these, was the anointing of the king, by pouring oil upon his head at his coronation, a ceremony regarded as sacred from the earliest times, and observed religiously in Israel: 1Ki 1:39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon. 1Sa 16:13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward... Among the Hebrews it was believed not only that it (the anointing) effected a transference to the anointed one of something of the holiness and virtue of the deity in whose name and by whose representative the rite was performed, but also that it imparted a special endowment of the spirit of God: Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; This is why there is profound reverence for the king and priest as sacred persons, “the anointed”. And, Jesus, the King of Kings, being anointed of the Father, also proclaimed the above verse (Isa 61:1). And this same Jesus has proclaimed us as kings and priests: Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Rev 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Therefore we are anointed). So, to answer, "how does one get anointed", would be to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved. Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Now, concerning the balance of your question appears to have something to do with the "visible" manifestations of the anointing. As you stated, the Spirit (or the anointing of the Holy Ghost) will move on (in) individuals as He sees fit and in His own time to accomplish that which He purposes. Some of these events are quite visible, as in Act 2:14-36, when Peter boldly preached Jesus by quoting the prophecy of Joel and the words of David. Also the anointing with oil of a cloth to heal the sick, the power is not in the oil but in the faith toward God and this is shown by the use of it. As in James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Finally with, "why some are anointed and some aren't", as in your question, I would conclude that: Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit (the anointing) is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit (the anointing), let us also walk in the Spirit. And most important: Gal 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. For some have desired this glory, but without belief: Act 19:14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. Act 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? Act 19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Many preachers or teachers like Kenneth Copeland have done series on "The Anointing", but as we (the redeemed) are kings and priests, to love the Lord with our all and to be faithful is the most important thing we can do. You can see a mother's love when she cradles her infant and caresses it. Does she love her child less when it is asleep and she is doing the dishes? We do not see the anointing unless we are in action. terrib |

79 | Specific Prophetic Guarantees | Heb 6:18 | terrib | 149477 | ||
Hi Loran James, God cannot lie - Heb 6:16 For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. Heb 6:17 Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath; Heb 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us: Heb 6:19 which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil; Heb 6:20 whither as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. No shadow of turning, God cannot change - Jam 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Scripture is inspired - 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: The prophesies are written, Second Coming, Judgement, Glory, they will come. Else God is a liar. terrib |

80 | To whom should we pay tithes? | 1 Tim 5:17 | terrib | 149475 | ||
Welcome HeatherM, In the Old Testament the tithes went to the Levites, the keepers of the Tabernacle. (Num 18:26 "Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance..."). Today, it would be your pastor if you offer any. For again Scripture says, 1Ti 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 1Ti 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. Tithing is good and acceptable unto the Lord. But be careful not to get bound by legalism. For Jesus, "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"(Col 2:14) Hope this helps, terrib |
