Bible Question:
Thanks again children for trying to answer my questions on Matt.16:15-20 Some TRUTHS came out but still generalisation as usual. This scripture is SO IMPORTANT ! The whole of the catholic church is built upon it ! Oh, by the way, practicly ALL christian churches that today exist are a sect of the catholic church, and NO Iam NOT a catholic ! GOD is a GOD of order and so is HIS SON JESUS CHRIST ! GOD does not change to suit the DOCTRINES of men ! HE is the same from the begining as in the end. HE has always spoken to us through prophets. HE has always been organized. HIS SON JESUS CHRIST called special witnesses.(APOSTLES) The TRUTH has been corrupted and tampered with by men ! HOW MANY TIMES has the bible, GOD´S WORD been translated, changed, interpreted by so called scholars and theologists and philosophers and interlects ???? HOW MANY VERSIONS ARE THERE ??? Confusion REALLY EXISTS !!! OH ! By the way, because some children find it a waist of time to find the TRUTH, THEY DON´T !! WHO IS MY ? It´s JESUS CHRIST !!!!!!! The catholics think Peter was the ROCK, we know he was´nt. He went on to deny knowing JESUS, THREE times ! So, which FOUNDATION was JESUS refering to ??? I await your wonderful efforts Brothers and SISTERS . OH, by the way, I´m a sinner, I believe in JESUS CHRIST and I AM NOT SAVED. I cannot say I am SAVED, I have´nt been at the JUDGEMENT BAR yet. I have HOPE in JESUS CHRIST. I strive to overcome and endure to the end. I strive to LOVE ,TRUST and OBEY !!! If ye say ye are without sin, ye LIE and the TRUTH IS NOT IN YOU. GOD BLESS, Obi1kanobi. |
Bible Answer: Dear Obi1Kanobi, Matt 16:13-20 The question it asks is: Whom do YOU (obi1Kanobi)say that I am? It is always a personal question to each person who reads the question. Notice verse 16 Peter answered,"you are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Christ means Messiah, the anointed One sent from God, God's Son. Notice he wasn't sent as the son of the dead god. Understanding that God is Eternal (which means he has always existed, is existing now, and will always exist)then we know that his Son, Jesus, is also Eternal. Does anyone fully understand from forever to forever, never ending, or eternal? No! And they won't until they stand before the judgement seat of Christ, then it will be very apparent. But that is not the question asked! Who do you, personally, say that Jesus is? Do you say he is the Son of God? Is he alive today? Can he forgive your sins? Will he save you? Will you do what he says? Will you believe what he says? Will you go where he says to go? Will you say what he tells you to say? Does he have a purpose for your life? Does he want to be a part of your life? Do you want to be a part of his life? Notice Verse 17..Jesus told Peter, "You are blessed, Simon Barjona (i.e. son of jona): (Why?) for flesh and blood has NOT revealed it unto you, but my Father (has revealed it unto you, is the implied meaning)which is in heaven. " So then, The REVELATION from God the Father, as to who Jesus is, is the Rock that Jesus will build HIS CHURCH and the gates of hell SHALL NOT prevail (win over) the church..... If you will receive it, the whole Bible is God's revelation knowledge on every subject pertaining to mankind, God, satan, the how to's of the Christian life, the discerner of the hearts and minds of all people.Heb 4:12 He knows you whether you know him or not, he reads you like a book! He doesn't want us to trust another person to teach us, he wants to teach us personally. You can have God as your teacher, if you ask him to teach you, show you, reveal Jesus to you, personally. James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let HIM (obi1Kanobi), ASK of God, that gives to all (mankind) liberally, and unbraids (scolds or scorns) NOT; and IT SHALL BE GIVEN HIM." What shall be given him? Wisdom from God to understand God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. What was the process for you to get this information?Ask God for it, you Obi1Kanobi, personally need to ask God the questions you are asking other people! Other people are in the same boat you are in. They don't know all the answers. But guess what! God formed the questions, and he knows all the answers, and he is willing to share them with you, If You A.S.K. The ball is in your court, are you going to make a basket and ask God? Always In Christ, C.S.M. It is for you to find out the answer, based on what the word of God says about this man, called Jesus Christ! |
