Jesus Christ is the teacher for all, it is the Spirit.



John 14:2 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Ephesians 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Galatians 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

So how do you know?

Click to expand...

God is able to personally communicate with us. And His communication matches with all that He knows.

So, for one thing, it is not going to work to try to make some absolute written moral code. We need how God personally in us communicates and guides us.

How do we know it is really God? At every moment, we depend on Him to make sure He is really the One guiding and communicating.

"for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13)

And we can check with His written word to evaluate if He is really the One communicating and guiding. However, of course, there are things not explicitly dealt with in the Bible, but we trust God about this, that He will make sure. And with experience we know the difference between God and what is not God. One scripture which can help with this is > Colossians 3:15 >

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)

We are commanded to be ruled by God Himself in us, by means of His own peace ruling us. In God's peace we are sharing with Him in His own harmony with almighty immunity against cruel and vain feelings and drives and emotions. Plus, in this peace we share with God in His creativity for how to love any person, at all. Because God is all-loving. So, His peace will take care of us in His all-loving way, not merely making us feel good and safe, for our own selves.

So, included in the covenant of having peace with God who is all-loving is how we are growing in being all-loving in how we live and love. So, one way we can tell something is not God is if it isolates us and has us only or mainly concerned about our own selves and maybe about certain other people we like and hope to use > Jesus deals with this >

"if you love those who love you, what reward have you?" (in Matthew 5:46)

So, we may not always be perfectly sure if God is communicating and guiding, but we can rather easily identify what is not God. And trust Him to make sure; after all, we are not God; so . . . how can we know unless He does His miracle of having us know, which He can >

Jesus does say His sheep hear Him. John chapter 10. This is a miracle, to hear and know Jesus. We trust Jesus to do this with us. And Jesus guarantees this, for whoever is really His sheep > John chapter 10.

Also, God gives us His example, in us >

"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)

If I have really experienced God's own love with His quality and goodness and kind and tender compassion and personal sharing . . . this is my example of how to be in my relating with any and all people. So, this is an absolute moral standard. No law of itself can get humans to do this; we need to be with God in union with us so we can experience Him and this example.

And I think of this > the Bible is our absolute written moral standard. Every scripture can ***somehow*** help us to know how to love and how to live morally.

Bradskii said:

Using the previous example, sending a child to her room is quite acceptable. But for how long? How do you know when it becomes morally unacceptable?

Click to expand...

Well . . . my offering on this is we can be personally guided by God so we do what is right; and He has us doing better than humanly understandable rules ever could tell us to do; because He is God so better than we are, able to have us doing better, even by the moment, than we could imagine, moments before > with such discovering, indeed, in this.

My opinion as one who has never brought up children is > first, spend some time with the child before sending the child to the child's room. Discuss how we are going to make good use of the "time out". One person said his children pray and get right with God, so they can then return from the room; possibly, the child is trusted to know when the child is ready to rejoin the family relating. Of course, we need to have a good family relating atmosphere, as the child's good example, so that when the child becomes wrong, however, the child can see that the child is breaking away from loving as family; and so the child knows what to prepare to return to, and do not come back until you are ready, please. Another person would communicate and negotiate through the closed door, never leaving the troubled child alone.

A pastor I knew would say, "Don't ever have an attitude like that." And that would be it. Attack the cause of what some bad behaving might be. And then the child has a tool, to catch the child's self right when trouble starts in the child. This helps me, anyway > there are things clearly not loving and not in peace, that can get started in me; and already I know I am wrong; and I can trust God to clear that out and restore me to pleasant and soul-resting . . . and all-loving . . . love.

So . . . may be we should not ask what quantity of time is moral, but what quality of atmosphere of family caring and sharing should be the standard. And we grow in this; we discover this, best of all with God.

For moral absolutes for caring and sharing as a family, I would say, God has humility, kindness, patience, creativity so we don't argue or complain, and good example is very important so the child can know readily when the child is going against us by going against our good example, and there is forgiveness but evaluating when and how and why to trust.

Mark 14:25 I tell you the truth, I will not again drink from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Jesus drank the fruit of the vine on the cross. The kingdom of God began with the ratification of Jesus' new covenant sacrificial death on the cross.

Click to expand...

I don't believe Jesus drank wine on the cross. I believe Jesus was speaking, in Mark 14.25, of the Millennial Kingdom when he will come back to earth.

Jan001 said:

Luke 17:20-21 Having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, saying, “The kingdom of God
will not come with observation. 21 Nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”

Jesus' kingdom is a spiritual kingdom. We cannot see it with our bodily eyes.

Click to expand...

The passage in Luke 17 is speaking of the relationship of God's Kingdom to Israel in Jesus' time, and of how it is "coming." Clearly, from Jesus' perspective, the Kingdom remained in heaven and had not yet come. That's why he taught his disciples to pray, "Thy Kingdom come." It was not yet here.

So he was informing his disciples that the Kingdom was coming in an unusual way, being recognized in preliminary form by people with "eyes to see." They could see in Jesus the Messiah of that future Kingdom. They could recognize the righteousness of that future Kingdom. But the Kingdom, though coming in an obscure way, had not yet come!

Jan001 said:

Matthew 12:28
But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Jesus drinks the fruit of the vine immediately before he dies. This vinegar that he drank was made from sour grapes, which are the fruit of the grapevine.


John 19:29-30 A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished”; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Click to expand...

Jesus received the vinegar, but it was a mockery. The Romans were not giving Jesus wine to drink. This is not the "fruit of the vine" in which he would celebrate the Kingdom in the future with his people.

Yes, the Kingdom is presently spiritual, and is recognized in a prelimiary form. But it is not yet here, or we would not be praying, "Thy Kingdom come." In the book of Revelation John prayed, "Come Lord Jesus."

Love to God is keeping His commandments

1 John5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

Sadly, what people have been taught that we can define love instead of God is leading people down the wrong path of sin, unbelief and rebellion Heb3:7-19

The Holy Spirit convicts me of sin. <--This is my Love towards God within me through which I am thankful I am enabled to keep His commandments, and they are no burden.

2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

There is no "was" in Scripture.
1 John3:4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

Heb 10:26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [g]says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Belief is related to our obedience Heb3:7-19 why Jesus says why do you call me Lord Lord and not DO what I say. Luke6:46 Not everyone who says Lord Lord will enter into the Kingdom of heaven Mat7:21-23.

Man is born Spiritually dead (without the Holy Spirit within his spirit) and eventually succumbs to physical death.
But man's spirit is not dead, man's spirit is immortal.

No, God's Program can be repeated over and over and over, with dozens of resurrections over the everlasting eternity.

But for me, according to what the Scriptures teach, there is only ONE resurrection after physical death that prolongs my life. And I am instructed to be diligent, to Labor that I am raised in that resurrection.

CoreyD said:

Let's build on what you know.
The kings and priests are resurrected to heaven to rule and judge with Christ for 1,000 years. You know those scriptures.

Click to expand...

Yes.

CoreyD said:

The unrighteous are resurrected, and there is a thousand year judgment where these ones get a fair chance to do deeds based on knowledge, which they will be judged on.

Click to expand...

This is not my belief, I'm sorry my speech left this impression. It wasn't the "unrighteous" that is said to be resurrected in Ez. 37, as I referenced. It was the "Whole house of Israel".

Ez. 37: 11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

My understanding is lacking on a few points here, by lacking I mean, "I know what day God's Sabbath is", but I am sill questioning who this "whole house of Israel is", according to scriptures. "Not all Israel is of Israel". "A Jew is not a Jew outwardly".

I have thought that they are resurrected and taught by the Kings and Priests of God in the 1000 year reign. But God already knows the "heart" of true Israel. And the "Promised Land" is symbolic for the Kingdom of heaven.

It is written also;

23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. 24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

But then I also know that "EVERY" person ever born, with the exception of Jesus, has engaged in this unrighteous behavior at some point in their lives. This includes you and I, this I know. Including the "Dead in Christ" that will be raised first, and be Kings and Priests in the 1000 year reign.

I really haven't spent a lot of time on this issue, but now that you brought it up, the more I study and dwell on it, the more I believe that the "Whole house of Israel", includes not only Israel, but those who chose to sojourn with Israel, as the Commandment states.

34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for "ye were strangers" in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

They would be the "Saints" who had all been in Egypt, (Lived in Sin), but had repented and turned to God.

Rev. 14: 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith "of Jesus".

These would be the dead in Christ, the more I ponder and study.

This would include Noah, Abraham, Caleb, David, Peter, James, and all the men who, as Paul teaches,

Eph. 2: 2 Wherein "in time past" ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Abraham walked according to the course of this world, before God called him out of sin/egypt/ the course of this world. He died "In Hope" that God's Promises were true and that he would be forgiven his sins.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Now we ask a question or two....

• Who are the dead standing before the throne?

I think now, that this would be all those who were not of the first resurrection.

• How can they be dead if they are standing?

Paul said EVERY man will stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Wouldn't these then be the dead that are raised, as opposed to the dead that are not raised?

"5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection." 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

The last question is a hint.

I'm grateful for the topic, and the study. I was wrong I think, about "Israel" being raised and taught by Priests in the 1000 year reign of Christ. I didn't connect the dead in Christ with the Children of Abraham (Israel inwardly) being those who did the "works of Abraham" which was defined by Scriptures as Faith, the same Faith Jesus had from a child.

Thank you.

How do we believe in Jesus but not what He taught and lived.

Jesus said this.

Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Is this our version of what God's laws are or God's? I am going with God's Deut4:13 Rev11:18-19 Rev22:14-15

There are a million threads about using Paul to make a case of lawlessness. Which is sad, because Paul never taught to dishonor God Rom2:21-23 or to be an enmity to God Rom8:7-8 He said what matters is keeping the commandments of God1Cor7:19 and Paul came after Jesus ratified His covenant at the Cross. Nothing can be altered, it would cause Jesus to have to be crucified all over again to change His laws. Why do so many people insist on making God out to not keep His promises Psa89:34 Mat5:18

You keep quoting Paul and misunderstanding him comes with a salvation warning 2Peter3:16. I would suggest you read his writings on how we can reconcile them with Jesus and not against Jesus.

Why would someone in Christ want to stay in their sins any longer is beyond me considering what it did to Jesus on the Cross. We need a conversion in Christ. We can't profess Lord Lord and than live for the devil 1 John 3:8 its why the devil hates God's laws so much and has taught churches and billions of people we don't need to obey God. That we can re-write what it means to love God by being disobedient to Him, loving God on our terms, not God's. This is a popular doctrine, but its not Scriptural

Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
