61 | For this cause shall a man leave father | Matt 19:4 | Ken John | 110615 | ||
God created Adam and Eve,a male and a female.My question relates more to Matthew 19:5"And said,for this cause shall a man leave father and mother,and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"(KJV) Since neither Adam nor Eve at this time had a mother, why do you think God explained marriage this way? He must have had a good reason? |
||||||
62 | Who was Adam and Eve's mother? | Matt 19:4 | Ken John | 110629 | ||
Greetings Rowdy, Thanks for your answer. I agree with what you have said that Moses wrote the first five books but under God's inspiration. So God was both father and mother to Adam and Eve ? However Jesus knew the position so why did He mention a father and a mother when, as I read this verse Matt 19:5, He was referring to marriage way back in the beginning? Am I reading into this more than there is? Or is Jesus telling us something we should know for life today? |

63 | Matthew 19:24 is a puzzle for me ? | Matt 19:24 | Ken John | 108728 | ||
Matt 19:24 puzzles me as it would seem that the rich cannot enter "the Kingdom of God" so what must they do ? Jesus doesn't seem to condemn being wealth as long as one believes in Christ, not so ? | ||||||

Thanks brother for your good answer to my question. Blessings, KJ | ||||||
65 | Matthew 19:24 is a puzzle for me ? | Matt 19:24 | Ken John | 108932 | ||
Thanks for your answers to my question and I was delighted to learn something about this gate "nicknamed" eye of the needle becuse I had been told that before today. Now brother Tim Moran has sown doubt in my mind, so can I believe anything you tell me or must I continue to pray and trust God to lead me to the right answer. After nearly 18 years of walking with Christ I must admit losing faith in man. Blessings, KJ |

66 | How does Matthew 19:29-30 affect us ? | Matt 19:29 | Ken John | 111366 | ||
Matthew 19:29-30 How does this verse 29 compare with salvation ? What does verse 30 really mean for a Christian ? | ||||||
67 | Matthew 19:16-30 please clarify? | Matt 19:29 | Ken John | 111390 | ||
Thanks Searcher56 for your answer. Having read the verses you quoted again, I see that this does not refer to salvation but to rewards. Is Scripture telling us that the position at the table depends upon one's rewards? That is, the more rewards the closer to Jesus? Or the more one gives up and becomes a servant, the closer to Jesus? Are we to be servants on earth as well as in the Kingdom? Jesus' disciples gave up everything (Matt 19:27) yet Jesus tells them they will "sit upon twelve thrones"(verse 28) which doesn't identify with being servants ? |
||||||
68 | Matthew 19:16-30 please clarify? | Matt 19:29 | Ken John | 111496 | ||
I agree that the disciples did not think of themselves as servants in the Kingdom reading their statement in verse 27 and Jesus confirms that they will be "upon twelve thones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." (verse 28) It's interesting to note that Jesus did not rebuke Peter for his earlier remarks. Yet in Mark 10:40 after John and James had made a request to Jesus to sit one on His right hand and the other on His left, Jesus told them it is not His to give "but it is given to them for whom it is prepared." Is there a contradiction here? There is so little we know about the Kingdom but, maybe, it is not for us to know until we are ready to be told the mystery things of God. Blessings, Ken John. | ||||||

Is this a miracle in Matthew 21:19 and what is the significance to us? | ||||||
70 | Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? | Matt 21:19 | Ken John | 113320 | ||
Greetings brothers, After asking my question iro Matthew 21:19, I discovered that Flinkywood had asked almost the same question. How does one avoid doing this ? However I have now read what everyone has written and the excellent answers clear up some of my question. I now believe this was a miracle by Jesus. I was interested that this tree had leave only. Psalm 1:3 refers to leaves which I believe are the outward testimony of man. God is interested in the inward man in that man should be rightly related to God through Christ. Without fruit (of the Spirit Gal 5:22) man will wither away. I feel Jesus is giving His disciples and US this message. Any thoughts ? Ken John |

71 | Matthew 21:19 was this a miracle or not | Matt 21:19 | Ken John | 113340 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, Thanks for your "chew." No doubt this is a Divine Miracle from our perspective because nothing is impossible with God. There is a reason for everything in Scripture so that's why studying the Word is so wonderful. Flinkywood asked a similar question and the answers were most interesting. Perhaps you will have read that string already. May I ask what your other "speculations" are ? Blessings, Ken |

Hi Colin, I fully agree with you that Makarios gave a very good answer. Thanks for the references which I will study. In Him, Ken. | ||||||
73 | Has the Great Tribulation taken place ? | Matt 24:34 | Ken John | 115707 | ||
Did Jesus prophesay in Matthew 24 that the events of the Great Tribulation would be fulfilled between 30 A.D and 70 A.D ? Reading Matthew 24 Mark 13 and Luke 21 this would seem that the GT has already taken place so where does this leave the church ? | ||||||
74 | Has the Great Tribulation taken place ? | Matt 24:34 | Ken John | 115817 | ||
Greetings brother CDBJ, I have read these verses several times together with writers on this subject and must admit I am still busy researching Scripture. Herewith are some of my findings which lead me to think again about the Great Tribulation and the Rapture of the Church. I would appreciate your feedback. Our Lord Jesus in His discourse on the Mt of Olives (Refer Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Loke 21) clearly prophesied that the events of the GT would be fulfilled between A.D 30 and A.D 70 when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman army. (Ref J. Marcellus Kik – An Eschatology of Victory)(Gary McMar – Last Days Madness) False Christs: Scripture and history testify that many who arose in the forty years after Jesus’ death were false christs. (note 1 John 2:18). Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Wars and Rumours of wars: Between 14 AD and 68 AD there were many wars in Europe, Africa , Britain and elsewhere. Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Earthquakes and Famines: History and Scripture record many during this 40 year period (Acts 16:26) There were many famines as well. (Acts 11:27-29; Romans 15:25-28; 1 Cor 16:1-5) Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Signs in the Heavens: There was a comet in 60 AD during Nero’s reign. Halley’s comet appeared in 66 AD. Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Tribulation and Persecution: The church lived through tremendous persecution between 30 AD and 70 AD. Both Peter and John were jailed (Acts 4:3) and later flogged (Acts 5:40). Stephen was stoned to death (Acts 7:54-60). Persecution increased (Acts 8:1; 9:1) James was martyred (Acts 12:1-2). Paul was almost stoned to death (Acts 14:19). The Jews and the Romans persecuted Christians without mercy. Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Apostacy: Scripture shows that apostacy from the faith was widespread before 70 AD ( 2 Tim 1:15; 4:10, 16) Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. False Prophets: There were many before 70 AD (Acts 20:29-30; 2 Cor 11:13; 2 John 7) Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Lawlessness: There was a rise in lawlessness. Caligula and Nero were examples of lawless leaders (2 Tim 3:9) Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. The Gospel Preached to the whole world: In Colossians 1:23 Pauls tells us that the Gospel “was proclaimed in all creation under heaven” (see also Romans 10:18; Col 1:6) Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. The Abomination of Desolation: Consisted of the Roman armies surrounding Jerusalem. See also Luke 21:20. Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) The Flight of Christians from the Siege: History records that many Christians fled Jerusalem during the unexpected and temporary Roman withdrawal from the siege on that city. Most fled to the rock city fortress of Pella some 60 miles northeast of Jerusalem. Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: Great Tribulation: The language Jesus uses here is reference to horrible judgements throughout the Old Testament (see Exodus 11:6; Daniel 9:12; 12:1; Joel 2:2) Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. I have cut short my research to save space. In Christ, Ken. |

75 | Has the Great Tribulation taken place ? | Matt 24:34 | Ken John | 115867 | ||
Hi Suede, Thanks for your reply but what I have asked and said is not my view. My interest is in finding the TRUTH from Scripture. There are many writers with differing points of view about what Jesus said in Matthew 24 so my question was intended for someone to help me clear my thinking on this very subject as a student of God's Word. In Christ, Ken. |

76 | Has the Great Tribulation taken place ? | Matt 24:34 | Ken John | 115871 | ||
Hi brother CDBJ, Thanks for your reply which I will study. Who wrote "The Sign" do you know ? The question I asked and the views expressed are not mine but from other writers who caught my interest and got me searching. Reading Scripture takes up a lot of my time but, as an old guy, requires hugh concentration as there is much to learn. My objective in coming to this Forum is to get help in clarifying matters so that I keep to the true path and not get hooked by false teaching. Thanks for your comments which I will need time to absorb. In Christ, Ken. p.s. Do you listen to Dr Vernon McGee on Thru the Bible Radio ? |

Thanks CDBJ, I will take a look at the website you suggested and also try for the book.I listen to www.ttb.org daily and enjoy Dr McGee's studies as I like his no nonsense direct approach to Scripture and life in general. Blessings, Ken. |

Greetings Tim, Sorry about the delay but thank you for your reply to my question. You have given me something to contemplate iro these difficult verses in Matthew . I have read several differing opinions but will continue with research in the hope of a better understanding. Yours in Christ, Ken John. |

79 | Will the believer or non believer be go? | Matt 24:40 | Ken John | 55465 | ||
Who will be taken, thatis, the believer or the non believer in the case of these two verses 40 and 41 ? | ||||||
80 | Who are the ones taken? | Matt 24:40 | Ken John | 55466 | ||
I believe that the believers will be taken up to meet Christ and non-believers will be left to face the consequences. The verse 37 clarifies this when it states, "As in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." Noah and his family were "lifted up" in the Ark so it will be with believers who will be "lifted up" to meet our Lord. Do you agree ? | ||||||
