Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 428

This is the second reply I give to you . Here are a couple of scriptures that back up my conclusion about Jesus's tears being because people he loved were reproaching him for not coming to Lazarus's aid sooner , Romans chapter 15 verses 3 + 4 and Psalm 69 verse 9 . When someone we love dies , how many of us blame / reproach God ? It makes me sad that so many people who don't even believe in God or Jesus , are very quick to blame God when anything bad happens in their lives .

Please , read the whole chapter of John 11. You will notice that Jesus does not rush to Lazarus's side to heal him of his sickness , he waits a couple of days . Jesus already knew what was going to happen and how he would deal with the situation , verse 4 of John chapter 11 . In verses 21 + 32 we find that Martha and Mary seem to reproach Jesus for not coming to Lazarus's aid and healing him before he could die . These reproaches , gentle as they were , probably hurt Jesus feelings and , when he sees how upset everyone is, verse 33, Jesus allows his emotions to be witnessed by all . In verse 36 we read that the Jews interpret Jesus's tears as grief for Lazarus , but in verse 37 he is reproached again and in verse 38 he groans again in himself . We might ask , if he is groaning within himself how does John know this ? Real pain and sorrow usually shows in our face expressions and body language . So , personally , I do not believe that Jesus weeps for the death of Lazarus . I believe that his tender heart is hurt by the reproaches of his friends because they had hoped that Jesus would come quickly to heal Lazarus and by the grief of people that he obviously loves very much .

A want to give god thanks for this morning for making me cross over today and for my families and friends amen

HI everyone

HI GIGI please may I get your EMAIL so we can talk well on that space

the book of Philippians was written by Epaphroditus

We as a church still should give of our tithes unto the Lord. However, I still believe that to not give the tenth does not place a person under an Old Testament curse as many would tend to believe. If a curse remained upon us because of our giving, this would nullify the the work of the cross and the atonement that Jesus afforded us. I tend to believe it puts us rather, under the Law of the sowing and reaping benefits of 2 Cor chapter 9: He that sows sparingly shall reap sparingly and He that does bountifully shall reap bountifully. But our salvation is not In jeopardy from a curse if we don't . What is your take on it?

When it is accepted that we can do nothing, the trouble of doing nothing remains, which has the same meaning as total prostration for the allmighty God continuesly .

So how do you do nothing ?

To me it seems like the only possible way of that is to understand and treat everything on all levels as God, then you have given everything and since you are not taking all the space anymore God is there instead and can fulfill the work we can not.

Hi GiGi,

I hope you're all good. Please keep me posted.

Happy to know that your sons prefer spending more time with you and your hubby now. God is surely drawing them still closer to the Christian faith.

My son is in his early 20s, a technologically inclined and adorable young adult and has become a game savvy. I missed his being my sweet little boy who prayed with me before bedtime and rose up early with me as if there was an imaginary string that tied us together and pulls him to follow me wherever I go :)

Thank you for giving me hope that I can stand the gap for him until he comes to full measure of faith in Jesus. I know he is a good and very loving young adult.

You can reply to tome anytime convenient to you as I am still off today.

God bless us all!

Warm regards,

Mary

Where did the Nephilim come from? Who are the Anakites?

What did God with Enoch?

Is outer space really a vast amount of water?

Want to know meaning of "captivity captive. Found three times in Bible.

Hi Janet. This isn't a spelling error. Many spellings in 17th Century English appear different to what we have now. You can see several of these differences in the Bible; one that comes to mind is the word 'throughly', what we spell as 'thoroughly'.

Hi Arphul.

Solid archaeological evidence was found by men named Rast and Schaub in 1973.

Those cities showed the evidence of the destruction mentioned in the Bible was accurate however there is no mention that it is still burning.

God bless.

Amen Giannis.

Thank you and enjoy these Holidays.
