    Mark 9:1 - Please share insights if you would like

    Still on the side of road in Czsaer Philippi with his disciples, Jesus had just told them many things, including the cost of following him, and what it takes for someone to follow him now even today, which is self-denial. Placing the Lord Jesus, as our hope, and the one who will bring forth rest...

    Christian Liberty

    “Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. Who...

    Mark 8:38 - My understanding

    To each their own my friend @amigo de christo, @Jay Ross. As I was coming home today, looking at how some people have a lot of family and some people have little to no family. In this world every individual has their own life to live and every single one of them have their own...

    Mark 8:38 - My understanding

    @Jay Ross would like to share with you from the Easton dictionary Generation Gen_2:4, “These are the generations,” means the “history.” Gen_5:1, “The book of the generations,” means a family register, or history of Adam. Gen_37:2, “The generations of Jacob” = the history of Jacob and his...

    Mark 8:38 - My understanding

    Thank you for pointing out some of your own understandings @Jayross. If you believe a generation would be a 1,000 years that is cool. Though we see differently it is okay. However when you mention that Jesus was speaking to all mankind, in the context of that specific instance of Jesus being...

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    Roland thank you so much for sharing your insights, thank you. You brought for a memory of when the Pharisees and Scribes in that generation considered Jesus the King of Demons. Could you imagine that type of mindset in seeing healings and miracles and yet considering the one who healing some...

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    Thank you for sharing that Pearl, you are right, a story is always much more memorable than a lecture. Thought now you got me curious to know what the definition is to lecture. Maybe I’ll take a look when I get home in my Webster’s dictionary. Thank you again. Thank you for sharing your...

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    Hello Davy, I agree with a lot of things you had to offer from scripture. I would agree with you to that we now have a spiritual body, also the Holy Spirit and the spirit of Christ also. That one day when we leave this world we will go on to be resurrected in our new spiritual body which we...

    HERESY?

    No but that true burn your talking about does have its flaring. It’s from our flesh. It is when we like to be right in our mind and heart instead of just letting someone else believe how they will and let those whom are babes in Christ mature by giving them a helping hand every once in awhile by...

    HERESY?

    Did you know the word for acknowledgement - profess - confess is Homologeo - in Romans 10:8-11 or so. The Heart and Mouth are to be the same, Homologeo. That means if you are a true believing in the heart christian, in times where you are going to share the Gospel or something about Jesus you...

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    That you your taking time to share your insights, In Matthew 13 it seems to be the reason is because it was to fulfill the old testament scriptures that talk about the Lord. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And...

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    Lambano, I have no idea about the song, but would like to also mention that not only the parables themselves sort of hard to understand sometimes however the study bibles normally have more scripture quotes that lead to other areas of the bible that is alluding to as well which can make it...

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    What are your thoughts about when Jesus had stated that no one should point there it is, or there it was, the Kingdom is with in you? 20When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs. 21Nor will people say...

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    Lambano, thank you for sharing some of your thoughts. The talent is a very difficult one to understand but I believe it has to deal with us simply sharing the good, and truthful things from the bible when it comes to the spirit, almost similarly the parable of the seeds. I could be wrong though...

    The struggles of Christian life

    Hello Taken, Thank you for sharing some of your insight though it seems kind of hard to understand. It seems as thought you are talking about the flesh and the darkness of the flesh that all men and women possess.

    Hello Gary, you are right about the words he used are important and if one decides to seek and learn from the story they will learn about something that is truly profound with in those stories. Hello Robert, Thank you for sharing what your take is on it. Seeking after God is important, and...
