How do I have everlasting life?

by soulfinder in

here is a scripture that explains just that.. john 5:39-40.

39you are searching the scriptures, because you think that by means of them you will have everlasting life; and these are the very ones that bear witness about me.. 40and yet you do not want to come to me that you may have life.. jesus clearly explains that it is not through the scriptures that we have everlasting life.

it is only by going to him..

Actually, I know Jesus. I know it sounds weird, but He is a living person, with whom I have spoken. I know it's hard to believe, but if you ever talk to Him, ask Him to reveal Himself to you, and He probably will.

I used to think the same way. I listened to NIN also. Not only that, but Mudvayne, Slipknot, Sepultura, Manson, Korn.... yeah, a real metal head. If Jesus hadn't proved Himself to me, who knows what I'd be doing now. I just want to tell you that it is true, and if you ever want to know for certain, all you have to do is ask Jesus to show you.

Jesus is the judge

by soulfinder in

here is a scripture showing the position that jesus holds, and is a good reason to honor him.. honor the father and the sonjohn 5:16-23 .

16 for this reason the jews persecuted jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.

17 but jesus answered them, my father has been working until now, and i have been working.

I just follow Jesus.

Yeah there is so much confusion out there. Nothing we can do ourselves will ever save us, it is only Jesus Himself who does.

I would also like to encourage everyone to spend time with Jesus. He loves you very much, and is here for you always.

Jesus clearly explains that it is not through the scriptures that we have everlasting life. It is only by going to Him.

Honor the Father and the Son

John 5:16-23
16 For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”

18 Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Who is Jesus

by soulfinder in

hey everyone, i'm new here and i would really like to discuss your views on who jesus is.. please feel free to list any scripture, and i will do the same.. here are a few scriptures that may help:.

1. in the book of isaiah 7:14 jehovah prophesied that there would be a child born of a virgin, and that his name would be immanuel, which means god with us.. 14 therefore the lord himself will give you a sign: the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him immanuel (which means god with us).. 2. in the book of john, jesus also encourages us to pray to him by saying "if you ask anything in my name, i will do it.".

john 14:14. if you askanything in my name, i will do it.. 3. here are a few instances of people worshipping jesus:.

Actually, if you read the law, there are laws that protect the slaves. Here are some examples.

Exodus 21

The Law Concerning Servants

1 “Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them: 2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free and pay nothing. 3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself. 5 But if the servant plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ 6 then his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him to the door, or to the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him forever.
7 “And if a man sells his daughter to be a female slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. 8 If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her. 9 And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters. 10 If he takes another wife, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marriage rights. 11 And if he does not do these three for her, then she shall go out free, without paying money.

So you can see by this, that Jehova protected the slaves, and their rights, so clearly you are mistaken.

Jesus Himself did preach the fulfillment of the law, but the things which you accuse Him of are not true.

As for myself, I do not appreciate being called a liar, and I'm sorry to have been called one. I'm sorry frankie, I came here looking for fellowship, and perhaps to learn and to teach, but you have assaulted my character and made a poor impression on me. Hopefully we can resolve this and be friends.

As for my own background, I am just a follower of the Lord, struggling with looking for a job. I currently live in Texas. I am happily married. I love to discuss the bible, and the things of our God in hopes of further enlightenment, both of myself and the participating parties.

Abr, thank you for your warm welcome, I'm sure that some of us have been rejected on more than a few occasions, and hopefully those who have will consider whether or not they do the same things to others.

Jehova bless you all in the name of His Son, our Lord and King through whom He created all things and to whom He is bringing all things into subjection; namely Jesus Christ.

Oh by the way, for all those who believe the bible, Jesus did speak to Paul after He went to heaven, and also to John, so please don't rule out Him speaking to you.

Probably the best thing to do would be to ask Jesus Himself.

If you have doubts about whether or not Jesus does exist, what would it hurt to just ask Him who He is, then wait for an answer.

I know the Lord, and am not the only one. If you ask most christians whether or not they know Jesus, then most of them will probably say things like "I had hepititis C and He healed it (which happened to me)," or "I have heard His voice," or "He shows me things all the time."

There are so many people who know Jesus that to consider that they are all crazy or misinformed would be silly. But again, if you really want to know who He is, even though you may feel awkward, why not ask Him anyways. If you're right, then you haven't lost anything, but if you're wroung, you may lose everything.

Hey everyone! As far as the mythological stuff, I know my God. He answers my prayers, and I can definately say that He is there. If He is there, then the bible is definately true.

Anyways, I hope yall (that's right I'm from texas) are doing well.

Peace to you all in the name of the Lord.

Please feel free to list any scripture, and I will do the same.

Here are a few scriptures that may help:

1. In the book of Isaiah 7:14 Jehovah prophesied that there would be a child born of a virgin, and that His name would be Immanuel, which means God with us.

14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel (which means God with us).

2. In the book of John, Jesus also encourages us to pray to Him by saying "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it."

John 14:14
If you askanything in My name, I will do it.

3. Here are a few instances of people worshipping Jesus:

Matthew 2:11
And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshipedHim. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Matthew 8:2
And behold, a leper came and worshipedHim, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Matthew 9:18
While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshipedHim, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.”

Matthew 14:33
Then those who were in the boat came and worshipedHim, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”

Anyways, I hope this helps. Please write back, and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!
