Discuss John 4 Page 26

The woman who came out to the well at noon-day, was the first one in that town whom the Lord was sent to talk to. There is so much to wonder at and learn from Jesus, how to think about others, and then how to talk to them. He came into a world where everyone was lost, and wandering aimlessly without a shepherd, and trapped in sins. Its the open heart receptive to the truth that God seeks to save.

lu2677: FEAR, is for the lost,the unsaved,one who is doing wrong. When a person is Saved,All fear is going. The fear of Dying,of Judgment,of---? There is no fear in love but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath Torment. He that Feareth is not made perfect in love. 1John 4:18 / The Day of Salvation is like no other,The Day He Entered My Heart! Oh! What a Difference He makes! WOW!!!

Lu2677: There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear has to torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. 1John 4:18 / Without His Spirit Living within, you will be in fear. Big day, do you have Scripture? / Salvation has giving me,Wonderful Peace, a Provider,a Protector, taking away all fear---. You can have the same: has He Tugged on your Heart? Ask Forgiveness

Amen.

Jn. 4:16-18; Something I noticed, after reading an embarrassing personal question on here, Jesus never did this, not even with the Pharisees. In these 3 vs. He 'led' the woman to where He could get her to admit her fault - without saying, 'how many husbands have you had.' But then - He was God and was - omniscient. But He's still our example - to "Set a watch before my mouth ..... "; Ps. 141:3.

Judith of the seed of Abraham the tribe of Benjamin, you need to read John 4:21, along with 4:22-24. Will clear things up for you. GB

Erica: This is the quotation you were referring to 1 John 4:4 " ...... greater is he that is in you than, he that is in the world"

Understand what thou read? Rom. 12:1-2 Rom. 9:4 Who are Israelites True church of God is ICGJC the Israelites are a body of people in Acts 7:37-38. John 10:23 Christ celebrated Hanukkah not Christmas He spoke against It in Jeremiah 10 Chapter But God has given his chosen people his ordained Feasts in Leviticus Ch. 23. And Salvation is only for the Jews John 4:22-24! 1 Peter 4:11 Rom. 3:2

Aavtar: Sometimes hurt and pain can run deep. I heard every curse word before I could walk that with my dad yelling at my mom. That would be doing the week when he didn't drink.Friday,Saturday night all Hell broke loose! Sounds like your life was a little harder! Only because of my new life in Christ that I could forgive my dad. Hugged him first time at the age of 34. Christ the best thing ever!

One big part of the things Jesus taught, that has always scandalized so many who think they are better than others; is how He said, "The publicans and Harlots go into the kingdom of heaven before you!" and about the woman (who was a sinner) weeping and kissing His feet; "Her sins which are many are forgiven because she loved much." Jesus nowhere condones sinning, but is ever kind to the repentant.

The Samaritan woman - nothing was even implied she was abused; she just had 5 husbands. Jesus wated to 'bring her out' tho', is why He told her to bring her husband; He knew she would go tell people, "Here is a man that told me all ....."; Jesus was 'preparing' the way for His Apostles.

Dear all. I truly enjoy reading the book of John. So much so, I can recite it with ease Cpth 4: 4 to 28.

The samarian woman at tge well reminds me of Mum.She was abused physically, mentally n sexually by my alcoholic father. Both mum n dad could not read n write. It took me 40 long years to forgive my dad for all his flaws as father n a husband.

Mum eventually left him when I was 12 years old.

Focusing on Jesus' words to the Samarian women, " True worshippers worship the Father in spirit and in truth. God/is a spirit," strikes me as being the essential message in John 4. Makes me want to know all there is about the words, "spirit and truth".

The bible on my computer lets you find all the phrases using any word you want as spoken by Jesus. I will start there.

GOD'S (Jesus) plan of salvation was not 'changed' by Paul. People want to think it was because - they don't want to follow Jesus' commandments, Jn. 14:15.They want to have an easy believe -ism, "By grace are ye saved ..... " But the words of James ch. 2 are Jesus' words also, vs. 17-26. We cannot 'pick 'n choose' through God's word; it's all, from Gen. to Rev. His Word.

Paul and Arabia; Paul didn't go to Arabia to study written words. He was an Israelite, of the tribe of Benjamin, etc. He knew the O.T. frontwards and backwards, but hadn't the 'light' on Jesus in those scriptures. That's why God sent him to Arabia - so He (God) could give Paul light on Jesus in the O.T. Jesus talked to Paul just like on the road to Damascus. Cont.

Mr. William; The Lord was speaking to the woman about salvation; and when He draws anyone to Himself to be saved, He will always shine His Light upon our innermost selves, and on our sins, so that we repent of the sins, and have a true conversion; that He may purge us from the sins, by faith in Him. Many are interested in some way to hear about Jesus; but don't want to be convicted of their sins!

I'm not sure why Jesus told the woman she had five husbands.

Regarding the 1 John 4:12 verse, there were people and apostles who obviously saw Jesus, the Son of God, the 2nd person of the Trinity with their own eyes, so this can not mean that. However, God said to Moses not to look at him, because he would not be able to stand the view. I surmise it is God's full glory that no one has seen or can see in the fallen human state, because no one could stand it and live. There can be no sin in the presence of God Jesus emptied himself by becoming man besides God to take on our sins .

Jesus 'must needs go through Samaria'; because that was the only way one could get to Galilee. And it wasn't an easy walk. But He KNEW there was a woman in Samaria that was hungry for what he had; He knew she was open to His message. Jesus knows our needs, desires - even before we do. But - that does not mean we will accept His truth when our eyes are opened.

The Lord is the eternal being he has no beginning and no end there fore he is the beginning and the end Rev 1:8.All that he created he made in himself Gen 1:1.He is the existent of everything from Genesis 1 that exist because he is spirit John 4:24, John 1:3.Meditate on the word and he will give you the revelation you need Jeremiah 29:13.

I did not live in the days of Christ, but never the less I have unwavering faith in Him because of the love and miracles that He has preformed in my behalf and my family. I am far from perfection but His merciful hand has reached out to even me. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we believe that God has a perfect Glorified physical and spirit body. See Joseph Smith

The Woman was not divorced. If a woman bed down with a man or Man bed down with a woman; and have sexual relations together then they become married in spirit and body in the eyes of God. This was considered to be Adultery and that made her guilty of the same. But she would be forgiven at His death for the sins of the world, if she repented and asked for mercy, and stopped sinning to be saved.

Why do people assume the Samaritan woman was 5 times divorced? Maybe all her husbands died and they were all brothers, unable to give her children. Maybe the man she is in love with now is not allowed to marry her because of cultural differences. Jesus accepts her just as she is and she becomes a great evangelist.

Peter, We need to ask ourselves what does it mean to be created in Gods image? It says that male and female were created in Gods image. If God is speaking Literally then is God male or female? What is Gods image? has anyone ever seen Gods and lived? Ex 33:20; John 4:24; Zech 12:1. The tree of Knowledge of Good and evil Would God really exile his people because they ate from a tree? Email me.

I would like to share a couple of tips on this subject that can help those and well as this helps me everytime. I know it's hard at times to draw away all these unwanted thoughts but I found ways to avoid acting on these unwanted thoughts, always put your mind focus on the things of GOD by surrounding yourself with good Christian songs, and choose your favorite verse from the bible and say them when these thoughts come to mind. talk to GOD in prayer instead and ask him to draw them away as a.s.a.p. and last very important read your bible ask Jesus for understanding if you do not understand for he is are instructor. Here are a couple of Verses that will help you to avoid into any unwanted temptation. Philippians 4:6-8 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 Colossians 3:5 Romans 12:2. May GOD bless you. my favorite verse 1 John 4:4

To Susan - sorry, I hadn't read your previous comment of 26/5/16 at 3.37pm when I gave my comment. It looks like I copied what you said! Obviously we believe the same thing. Also, in the books of John 1, (1 John 4:10,14 - God sent His Son), (1 John 4:15 - confess that Jesus is the Son of God....) we read 1 John 5:5-7 - proof of the Trinity. Verse 7 will prove this. Again, 1 John 5:11

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

I see "future antichrist" when the antichrist, and many antichrists, are already in the world. Antichrists deny daily that CHRIST JESUS is in the flesh, which is His church, His temple, His body of believers as members of CHRIST carrying His Holy Spirit. Be blessed in Christ. Amen. 1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world. 2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world. Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

And that spirit of antichrist is now most prevalent in the last time as Satan is a king over all the children of pride. JESUS CHRIST is come in the flesh but pride stops ears and blinds eyes causing unbelief. John 5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? 1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time. 1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world.
