81 | When will Christ come in Kingdom Power? | Mark 9:1 | meusing | 42784 | ||
Mark 9:1 HAS been fulfilled when John saw the Kingdom of God come in power. that is what the verse is refering to. The two verses 8:38 and 9:1 form one paragraph and should go together. Let us make sure that we are not ashamed of Christ Jesus. remember Peter questioned Jesus about this very thing. John 21:22 Jesus said to him, If I want him to stay (survive, live) until I come, what is that to you? [What concern is it of yours?] You follow Me! John 21:23 So word went out among the brethren that this disciple was not going to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but, If I want him to stay (survive, live) till I come, what is that to you? |

Yes, Jesus came to call sinners to REPENTANCE. But some will not. It is made clear in Scripture that there are people who reject Jesus. Jesus Himself said : John 3:19 The [basis of the] judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil. [Isa. 5:20.] John 3:20 For every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not come out into the Light but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his conduct) be exposed and reproved. He cried over Jerusalem because they rejected Him. He said : " Matt 11:21 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes [and their hearts would have been changed]. Matt 11:22 I tell you [further], it shall be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. Matt 11:23 And you, Capernaum, are you to be lifted up to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades [the region of the dead]! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have continued until today. Matt 11:24 But I tell you, it shall be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you. " That does not seem to indicate that they will all be saved. Rom 1:29 Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters and gossipers, Rom 1:30 Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, [and] boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. Rom 1:31 [They were] without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless [and] merciless. Rom 1:32 Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them. |

Yes, based on our belief in Jesus who is our judge. 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. John 3:18 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.] 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. John 5:25 Believe Me when I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the time is coming and is here now when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear it shall live. John 5:26 For even as the Father has life in Himself and is self-existent, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself and be self-existent. John 5:27 And He has given Him authority and granted Him power to execute (exercise, practice) judgment because He is a Son of man [very man]. John 5:28 Do not be surprised and wonder at this, for the time is coming when all those who are in the tombs shall hear His voice, John 5:29 And they shall come out--those who have practiced doing good [will come out] to the resurrection of [new] life, and those who have done evil will be raised for judgment [raised to meet their sentence]. [Dan. 12:2.] John 5:30 I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord--but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me. |

86 | God IS love, what IS love? | 2 Pet 3:1 | meusing | 42264 | ||
That is what the Scriptures are: God's revelation of Himself to us. Specifically, His plan of redemption. Isa 38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. Rom 5:1 THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Rom 5:2 Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God's favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God. So, if we want to know what love is, we should study the Bible to find out what God says. Jer 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom 8:37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Rom 8:39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. |

We do not know who God has or has not chosen. It is not up to us to decide. All we can say is that before we were Christians we heard the Word "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved." we believed. then we found out that we were forknown and predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ. Even John Calvin taught : As the ministers of the Gospel, and those who are called to the office of teaching, cannot distinguish between the children of God and swine, it is their duty to present the doctrine of salvation indiscriminately to all. Though many may appear to them, at first, to be hardened and unyielding, yet charity forbids that such persons should be immediately pronounced to be desperate. |

88 | Was Jesus Christ the God of the Old Test | 1 Cor 10:4 | meusing | 41698 | ||
The LORD God explained why He chose the children of Israel. Deut 7:6 For you are a holy and set-apart people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people to Himself out of all the peoples on the face of the earth. Deut 7:7 The Lord did not set His love upon you and choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the fewest of all people. Deut 7:8 But because the Lord loves you and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Deut 7:9 Know, recognize, and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations, Deut 7:10 And repays those who hate Him to their face, by destroying them; He will not be slack to him who hates Him, but will requite him to his face. |

89 | Two Creation Stories? | Gen 1:1 | meusing | 41688 | ||
There are many books writen to try to show that God does not exist,and that because he does not exist He did not inspire Moses to write Genesis. What you fail to mention is that from verse 4 on that it is the LORD God (Jehovah Elohim) that is mentioned. It was God (impersonal) that created the world. Now Moses introduces the fact that God is not just impersonal but He is Jehovah Elohim (personal) in his history of the world and God's relationship with man. I think J.N. Darby expreses it better that I can... (please excuse any spelling mistakes) "In chapter ii we have man's relationship with God, and his own portion as such. Hence the LORD God is introduced: not merely God as Creator, but God in relationship with those He has created. NOTE -- that is Jehovah Elohim, a personal name as well as Godhead. It was important too that Israel should know that their God was the original creator of all. Still it is only used when special ways and connection with man is introduced. THE DISTICTION OF JEHOVISTIC AND ELHISTIC DOCUMENTS IS THE MEREST CHILD'S PLAY, AND FLOWS FROM ENTIRE IGNORANCE OF THE WAYS AND MIND OF GOD. There is always a reason for on or the other. Elohim is simply God; Jehovah is the acting governing person in time, though self-existing, who abides ever the same and having to do with others, who is, and was, and is to come." J.N.D. Synopsis of the Book of Genesis. p.12 |

I am not sure I am saying this right, but here goes ... Just as we in 3 dimentions can see the beginning and ending of a line (2D) and every point (1D) along it, so God can see the beginning and the end, and every choice we make at one glance as it were. That is not to say that every move we make is fixed, but that God can see the full quantum possibilies of every action. Imagine a being of over a thousand dimentions, and then multiply that by another million and we won't begin to know the immensity of God. All we Know is what He has told us. John 20:31 But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is].

Hi, if I may, my wife and I have often been under attack with doubts about our salvation. I know the Bible says: "I know whom I have beleved and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." 2 Tim. 1:12 I do not have to be busy trying to keep my salvation for it is in His hands. I like the old hymn that 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 atonementThou 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. --- PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME --- 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. Kept in Christ's love |

Hunn?? what do you mean Rev 11:8 was back in Moses time? Rev. 11 it about the two wittnesses in Jesursalem "which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt". Rom 5:14 is the continuation of Paul's thought in verse 13 Rom 5:13 [To be sure] sin was in the world before ever the Law was given, but sin is not charged to men's account where there is no law [to transgress]. Rom 5:14 Yet death held sway from Adam to Moses [the Lawgiver], even over those who did not themselves transgress [a positive command] as Adam did. Adam was a type (prefigure) of the One Who was to come [in reverse, the former destructive, the Latter saving]. [Gen. 5:5; 7:22; Deut. 34:5.] |

94 | What is the Lord teaching in this verse? | Matt 7:6 | meusing | 40792 | ||
John Gill said : Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy to the dogs ... Dogs were unclean creatures by the law; the price of one might not be brought into the house of the Lord, for a vow, (Deuteronomy 23:18) yea, these creatures were not admitted into several temples of the Heathens . Things profane and unclean, as flesh torn by beasts, were ordered to be given to them, (Exodus 22:31) but nothing that was holy was to be given them, as holy flesh, or the holy oblations, or anything that was consecrated to holy uses; to which is the allusion here. It is a common maxim F9 with the Jews, "that they do not redeem holy things, to give to the dogs to eat". Here the phrase is used in a metaphorical sense; and is generally understood of not delivering or communicating the holy word of God, and the truths of the Gospel, comparable to pearls, or the ordinances of it, to persons notoriously vile and sinful: to men, who being violent and furious persecutors, and impudent blasphemers, are compared to "dogs"; or to such, who are scandalously vile, impure in their lives and conversations, and are therefore compared to swine; neither cast ye your pearls before swine. But since the subject Christ is upon is reproof, it seems rather to be the design of these expressions, that men should be cautious, and prudent, in rebuking and admonishing such persons for their sins, in whom there is no appearance or hope of success; yea, where there is danger of sustaining loss; lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you: that is, despise the admonitions and reproofs given, and hurt the persons who give them, either by words or deeds; see (Proverbs 9:7,8) . The Jews have some sayings much like these, and will serve to illustrate them F11; "do not cast pearls before swine", nor deliver wisdom to him, who knows not the excellency of it; for wisdom is better than pearls, and he that does not seek after it, is worse than a swine.

95 | How was Jesus slain 'before' ? | 1 Pet 1:20 | meusing | 40781 | ||
The paschal lamb was a symbol of Christ. John said "Behold the Lamb of God." From the first sin, there was a way of redemption, a blood sacrifice in which another (animal) took the punishment for sin. Adam was clothed (redeemed) in animal skins God provided. Abel offered an acceptable sacrifice (a slain lamb). After the flood Noah offered sacrifices to God. Every time God made a covenant it was sealed with a blood sacrifice. Abraham had such faith in God that he told Isaac "God will provide HIMSELF a lamb for a burnt offering." Gen. 22:8 Sin was indeed in the world; but so was redemption in the form of a blood sacrfice which looked forward to Jesus Sacrifice (while we now look back) which, like a event thrown into this space - time continum sent ripples forward AND BACKWARDS in time. |

96 | is God and Jesus are one person? | Heb 1:8 | meusing | 40617 | ||
As I keep telling you, He did not 'forget' as you put it, Jesus, even though he is equal to the Father SUBMITTED Himself to the Father. Phillippians 2:6-7 show That they are equal, and that Jesus submitted Himself willingly. This submission included the time of His second coming. I am not elequent, and smetimes dislectec, so others say what I believe in a way that I cannot. "...that phrase stands; and must be understood of Christ as the son of man, and not as the Son of God; for as such, he lay in the bosom of the Father, and knew all his purposes and designs; for these were purposed in him: he knew from the beginning who would betray him, and who would believe in him; he knew what would befall the rejecters of him, and when that would come to pass; as he must know also the day of the last judgment, since it is appointed by God, and he is ordained to execute it: but the sense is, that as he, as man and mediator, came not to destroy, but to save; so it was not any part of his work, as such, to know, nor had he it in commission to make known the time of Jerusalem's ruin: but my Father only; to the exclusion of all creatures, angels and men; but not to the exclusion of Christ as God, who, as such, is omniscient; nor of the Holy Spirit, who is acquainted with the deep things of God, the secrets of his heart, and this among others. " John Gill Calvin : ... "...Christ likewise perceived that the disciples were pushing forward with excessive haste to enjoy a triumph. He therefore wishes the day of his coming to be the object of such expectation and desire, that none shall dare to inquire when it will happen. In short, he wishes his disciples so to walk in the light of faith, that while they are uncertain as to the time, they may patiently wait for the revelation of him. We ought therefore to be on our guard, lest our anxiety about the time be carried farther than the Lord allows; for the chief part of our wisdom lies in confining ourselves soberly within the limits of God's word. That men may not feel uneasy at not knowing that day, Christ represents angels as their associates in this matter; for it would be a proof of excessive pride and wicked covetousness, to desire that we who creep on the earth should know more than is permitted to the angels in heaven." |

97 | Identity of Mary Magdalene | NT general Archive 1 | meusing | 40471 | ||
No, Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus was Mary of Bethany. The mistake is made by not understanding that John in verse two is speaking of the annointing which Mary of Bethany would give Jesus, (which was alredy history from John's view point) with the annointing mentioned in Luke. As Calvin explained It is a similar display of ignorance, to imagine that this Mary, the sister of Lazarus, was that woman of wicked and infamous life, who is mentioned by Luke, ( Luke 7:37.) This mistake was occasioned by the anointing; as if it were not evident enough that Christ was anointed on various occasions, and even at different places. The woman who was a sinner, of whom Luke gives an account, anointed Christ at Jerusalem, where he dwelt; but Mary afterwards anointed him at Bethany, which was her own village. The past tense employed by the Evangelist, who anointed, must be referred, not to the time of the occurrence which he is now relating, but to the time when he wrote; as if he had said, "It was this Mary who afterwards poured on the head of Christ the ointment, on account of which a murmuring arose among the disciples," (Matthew 26:7.) Adam Clarke said : Mary Magdalene is commonly thought to have been a prostitute before she came to the knowledge of Christ, and then to have been a remarkable penitent. So historians and painters represent her: but neither from this passage, nor from any other of the New Testament, can such a supposition be legitimately drawn. She is here represented as one who had been possessed with seven demons; and as one among other women who had been healed by Christ of evil (or wicked) spirits and infirmities. As well might Joanna and Susanna, mentioned ver. 3, come in for a share of the censure as this Mary Magdalene; for they seem to have been dispossessed likewise by Jesus, according to St. Luke's account of them. They had all had infirmities, of what sort it is not said, and those infirmities were occasioned by evil spirits within them; and Jesus had healed them all: but Mary Magdalene, by her behaviour, and constant attendance on Jesus in his lifetime, at his crucifixion, and at his grave, seems to have exceeded all the other women in duty and respect to his person. Bishop PEARCE. There is a marvellous propensity in commentators to make some of the women mentioned in the Sacred Writings appear as women of ill fame; therefore Rahab must be a harlot; and Mary Magdalene, a prostitute: and yet nothing of the kind can be proved either in the former or in the latter case; nor in that mentioned chap. vii. 36, etc., where see the notes. Poor Mary Magdalene is made the patroness of penitent prostitutes, both by Papists and Protestants; and to the scandal of her name, and the reproach of the Gospel, houses fitted up for the reception of such are termed Magdalene hospitals! and the persons themselves Magdalenes! There is not only no proof that this person was such as commentators represent her, but there is the strongest presumptive proof against it: for, if she ever had been such, it would have been contrary to every rule of prudence, and every dictate of wisdom, for Christ and his apostles to have permitted such a person to associate with them, however fully she might have been converted to God, and however exemplary her life, at that time, might have been. As the world, who had seen her conduct, and knew her character, (had she been such as is insinuated,) could not see the inward change, and as they sought to overwhelm Christ and his disciples with obloquy and reproach on every occasion, they would certainly have availed themselves of so favourable an opportunity to subject the character and ministry of Christ to the blackest censure, had he permitted even a converted prostitute to minister to him and his disciples. They were ready enough to say that he was the friend of publicans and sinners, because he conversed with them in order to instruct and save their souls; but they could never say he was a friend of prostitutes, because it does not appear that such persons ever came to Christ; or that he, in the way of his ministry, ever went to them. I conclude therefore that the common opinion is a vile slander on the character of one of the best women mentioned in the Gospel of God; and a reproach cast on the character and conduct of Christ and his disciples. From the whole account of Mary Magdalene, it is highly probable that she was a person of great respectability in that place; such a person as the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, could associate with, and a person on whose conduct or character the calumniating Jews could cast no aspersions. |

98 | we only barely get into heaven by Jesus | 1 John 5:11 | meusing | 40481 | ||
Matthew Henry eplains that Peter is writing to the church and .. That their trials were now at hand, and they should stand prepared accordingly, v. 17, 18. (1.) He tells them that the time had come when judgment must begin at the house of God. The usual method of Providence has been this: When God brings great calamities and sore judgments upon whole nations, he generally begins with his own people, Isa. 10:12; Jer. 25:29; Eze. 9:6. "Such a time of universal calamity is now at hand, which was foretold by our Saviour, Mt. 24:9, 10. This renders all the foregoing exhortations to patience necessary for you. And you have two considerations to support you.’’ [1.] "That these judgments will but begin with you that are God’s house and family, and will soon be over: your trials and corrections will not last long.’’ [2.] "Your troubles will be but light and short, in comparison of what shall befall the wicked world, your own countrymen the Jews, and the infidels and idolatrous people among whom you live: What shall the end be of those who obey not the gospel of God?’’ Learn, First, The best of God’s servants, his own household, have so much amiss in them as renders it fit and necessary that God should sometimes correct and punish them with his judgments: Judgment begins at the house of God. Secondly, Those who are the family of God have their worst things in this life. Their worst condition is tolerable, and will soon be over. Thirdly, Such persons or societies of men as disobey the gospel of God are not of his church and household, though possibly they may make the loudest pretensions. The apostle distinguishes the disobedient from the house of God. Fourthly, The sufferings of good people in this life are demonstrations of the unspeakable torments that are coming upon the disobedient and unbelieving: What shall the end be of those that obey not the gospel? Who can express or say how dreadful their end will be? (2.) He intimates the irremediable doom of the wicked: If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear, v. 18. This whole verse is taken from Prov. 11:31, Behold the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner? This the Septuagint translates exactly as the apostle here quotes it. Hence we may learn, [1.] The grievous sufferings of good people in this world are sad presages of much heavier judgments coming upon impenitent sinners. But, if we take the salvation here in the highest sense, then we may learn, [2.] It is as much as the best can do to secure the salvation of their souls; there are so many sufferings, temptations, and difficulties to be overcome, so many sins to be mortified, the gate is so strait and the way so narrow, that it is as much as the righteous can do to be saved. Let the absolute necessity of salvation balance the difficulty of it. Consider, Your difficulties are greatest at first; God offers his grace and help; the contest will not last long; be but faithful to the death, and God will give you the crown of life, Rev. 2:10. [3.] The ungodly and the sinner are unquestionably in a state of damnation. Where shall they appear? How will they stand before their Judge? Where can they show their heads? If the righteous scarcely be saved, the wicked must certainly perish. 4. That when called to suffer, according to the will of God, they should look chiefly to the safety of their souls, which are put into hazard by affliction, and cannot be kept secure otherwise than by committing them to God, who will undertake the charge, if we commit them to him in well-doing; for he is their Creator, and has out of mere grace made many kind promises to them of eternal salvation, in which he will show himself faithful and true, v. 19. Learn, (1.) All the sufferings that befall good people come upon them according to the will of God. (2.) It is the duty of Christians, in all their distresses, to look more to the keeping of their souls than to the preserving of their bodies. The soul is of greatest value, and yet in most danger. If suffering from without raise uneasiness, vexation, and other sinful and tormenting passions within, the soul is then the greatest sufferer. If the soul be not well kept, persecution will drive people to apostasy, Ps. 125:3. (3.) The only way to keep the soul well is to commit it to God, in well-doing. Commit your souls to God by solemn dedication, prayer, and patient perseverance in well-doing, Rom. 2:7. (4.) Good people, when they are in affliction, have great encouragement to commit their souls to God, because he is their Creator, and faithful in all his promises. AMEN!!!!!!! |

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?
