I would like to think that when God decides to do something like a famine (no matter what context he means) there will be no doubt its here; otherwise you won't have to ask. Very seldom is he subtle.

No Doubt it's here

Jesus spoke it

its here

Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

which one of you here will get me 3 days and 3 nites from good friday to easter sunday morning?

Mt 12v38: Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

what is the sign that Jesus left for them and us proving that he was the Messiah?

Jesus would be in the grave 3 days and 3 nites.

what do this have to do with the question?
Who's judging?

if you want to go their I can

lets read what the Messiah Jesus said so we can all get a better understanding of what Paul is saying in the verses you put.

Jn 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Now Sister

what is righteous judgement?

Jesus being in the grave 3 days and 3 nites like he said

or

or Jesus being in the grave in the after noon good friday and rising early easter sunday morning?

which is righteous Judgement?

God's Judgement alone is Righteous and not our own. Show me where it tells us to even celebrate Easter. It does't, we all love Jesus and we all celebrate of HIM in different ways. No where has GOD said you must celebrate this according to these rules, unlike the passover. This is mans judgement and not GOD's.

There are two ways to look at the famine. Notice that the famine isn't for His Words but is for "hearing" His words. How many of His Words are heard on Sunday morning? One or two lines of scripture and then....music, collections, a lesson but...not His Words. Do we hear them in music, entertainment, see it written in books, in our courts, in our schools? No...I see a famine in the land for "hearing His words."

Consider too that the "hearing" of His words is in each of us. To borrow Michael Collum's analogy of a mirror....Let's look at ourselves. Do we hear and see? The Words are there but do we study, do we SEE the truth, the spirit of the Word? Are we deaf and blind? If we are do we know we are? The written word is there for all to read but...do we see and hear the spirit of the Word?


John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

enlighten me please.

Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

John 10:27-28
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

NatalieJan777;54086565]God's Judgement alone is Righteous and not our own.

Sister Nat

who is Jesus telling to judge righteous? Man or God?

Jn 7v21: Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22: Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23: If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24: Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

if Jesus is telling this creation called man to judge righteous it seems to me that it is possible for man to do it?

How?

using God's words!!!!

Show me where it tells us to even celebrate Easter. It does't, we all love Jesus and we all celebrate of HIM in different ways.

Pay attention Sister and who ever read this God has one way of doing things.

1Cor 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

1Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Phil 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

How many ways? ONE!

Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

do we read 2, 3, multiple, divided, subtracted, we read ONE!


No where has GOD said you must celebrate this according to these rules, unlike the passover. This is mans judgement and not GOD's
.

AGAIN

lets read the bible

how many days did Jesus say he would be in the grave?

38: Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

39: But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:


40: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly;

so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

can we get three days and 3 nites from good friday to easter sunday morning?

now tell me is this

is this Jesus who is in the grave from good friday to easter sunday morning the Jesus who said he will be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nites?

Good verse Sis

Mt 12
37: For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38: Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

39: But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

He doesn't tell us to celebrate our own birthdays either, nor does he anywhere condemn it.

No Nat, but, do our birthdays have the most holiest name in the creation attached to it?

yet is says this about ones birth.

Eccl 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

what your understanding on this?

i've changed my mind .

perhaps the question was asked on a false premise .


are you changing your mind because you simple don't understand,

what false about the question?

everyone who has responded answered in a fair and polite way whether they agree or not,

you on the other hand hide under some non-sense of false premise.

answer the question and particpate with some concrete conversation.

There is no famine .

at one time i thought there was .

and perhaps for me there really was .

i just wasn't getting it .

trying to earn God's presence by doing stuff .

in that there was a drought too .

but ..

in this New and Better covenant there is no famine and there is no drought . except for the one we afflict on ourselves . it is all about trust . and when one is born again . the whole being doesn't trust yet . so maybe seasons of dryness might happen . and times when it seems God is not around .. but really . there is no drought or famine . it is all in relation to one's relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ . and our growing trust toward and in Him .

now tell me is this

is this Jesus who is in the grave from good friday to easter sunday morning the Jesus who said he will be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nites?

Brother,

You are infering that this should not only be celebrated, but celebrated with exact execution. This is not biblical, nor is it of GOD that we even celebrate Easter as a holiday. We do it in commemoration of Christ Jesus. There are some who find more joy in HIS ressurection and not HIS death. And Joy is the reason to celebrate.

Let us look at Jeremiah chapter 35:

Here we find that GOD sent Jeremiah to the family of the Recabites (Decendants of the Kenites of which Moses' father in law was as he served as priest in Midian) to bring them into one of the side rooms of the Lords House and serve them wine.

Once they got there and the wine was setved to them they said, we cannot drink this because we've been commanded by our forefather Jonadab never to drink wine, or build houses, or plant seeds or grow vinyards and we were told by him that if we follow these commands we will live long in a the land in which we are nomads.

God knew full well what would happen when they were brought to HIS house for HE knows everything. What does HE do with their witness of obedience to their forefather? He says:

Jeremiah 35:13-16 "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, 'Will you not learn a lesson and obey my words?' declares the LORD. Jonadab son of Recab ordered his sons not to drink wine and this command has been kept. To this day they do not drink wine, because they obey their forefather's command. But I have spoken to you again and again, yet you have not obeyed me. Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, "Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them. Then you will live in the land I have given to you and your fathers." But you have not paid attention or listened to me. The descendants of Jonadab son of Recab have carried out the command their forefather gave them, but these people have not obeyed me.'

We know full well that none of these requirements of Jonabad were set in place by GOD, for none of them appear in GOD's laws handed down through Moses. And what did HE say to Judah?

Jeremiah 35:17 "Therefore, this is what the LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem every disaster I pronounced against them. I spoke to them, but they did not listen; I called to them, but they did not answer.'"

And what did HE say to the Recabites?

Jeremiah 35:18-19 Then Jeremiah said to the family of the Recabites, "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'You have obeyed the command of your forefather Jonadab and have followed all his instructions and have done everything he ordered.' Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Jonadab son of Recab will never fail to have a man to serve me.'"

Why did HE do this? Because OUR GOD is a Mercifull GOD and nothing the Recabites were doing was wrong. But we today would find fault with everything they did, as we find fault with our brothers and sisters who do not honor GOD as we think they should. Stop condemning your fellow man because you do not see them honoring GOD as you do. Trust that GOD has insight that you know nothing about and live at peace with your fellow man. If they are doing wrong, GOD HIMSELF will bring this to their attention.

Ephesians 4:26 "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

James 1:19-20 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

Look at Jacob (Isreal) who when he found out that Rueben had slept with his concubine Bilhah (Genisis 35:22). He did not approach Rueben and qaurel with him (at least not on record) on what he had done. It wasn't until the blessing of the 12 tribes that this came up (Genesis 49:4).

Look at Jacob (Isreal) when Simeon and Levi took revenge for their sister Dinah. (Genesis 34:11-29) And Jacob rebuked them instead of praising them for what was done (Genesis 34:30). It wasn't until the blessing of the 12 tribes that this came up again (Genesis 49:7) where it says "cursed be their anger".

Look at Jacob (Isreal) who knew what Judah had done with Tamar (Genesis 38) and nothing about it came up even during the blessing of the 12 tribes (Genesis 49:8-12).

I beseech you to walk in peace with GOD and your fellow man. I am not saying stop honoring GOD as you deem worthy, I am just saying stop judging your fellow man in reference to the standards you have set for yourself. You will honor GOD in doing so.

Sister Nat

show me where I've judged one person?

next

was Jesus the passover or the easter?

next

get me 3 days and 3 nites from good friday to easter sunday morning?

Paul said this

2Cor 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

again the Jesus I serve is the one who said

38: Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

39: But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:


40: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly;

so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.


who is this Jesus that was in the grave from good friday to easter sunday morning?

is this the Jesus of the bible or the Jesus warned us about?

answer the questions?

after you have done this Please show me where I have judged someone?

why do we have so many denominations in the protestant house?

why do we have the Roman Catholic church who call herself the Mother church?

why do we have a Orthodox church with her many branches?

You know what MC they all don't care for one another because they all think they are all right.

their is a Famine in the Land for the word of God

there is one among the so-called christian nations and all nation that don't believ in Jesus.

Hindu's, buddhist, muslims do not believe in Jesus

so we have a famine their.

even among the chrisitan nations we have a difference of understanding

everyone believe in their understanding

so now we have gotten away fromt he word of God.

who is right among the big 3 faiths?

MC get me 3 days and 3 nites from good friday to easter sunday morning?

Kingdom dynamics has little to do with agriculture .

Because in the beginning the apostles tried to restore Israel when Jesus said go preach the gospel . we are now in a very integral part of that experience .

there is division for the same reason there was division between Israel and Judah . same root . different cast . same play

40: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly;

so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.


who is this Jesus that was in the grave from good friday to easter sunday morning?

is this the Jesus of the bible or the Jesus warned us about?

answer the questions?

after you have done this Please show me where I have judged someone?

You are missing the point. GOD rejoices as we rejoice. No one is denying:

John 2:19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."

I am uncertain here now of what your point about Easter is. If I were to go by the Jewish calender I would celebrate it Thursday at twighlight until Sunday at twighlight which would be 3 days. If I use our current calander I would celebrate it all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday which would be 3 days (and personally this is how I commemorate it).

GOD is not going to look at the time frame in which we honor HIS SON, HE is going to look at the fact that we HONORED HIS SON. Personally I think that too much pagan rituals are used in the celebration of Christian holidays, such as easter baskets, easter bunnies, easter eggs, best clothing etc.. these are all outward things that honor man and do not HONOR CHRIST JESUS, but GOD isn't going to look at the outside ie... # of days, best clothing etc..., HE will be looking on the inside.

The fact that we don't even have word from GOD that this holiday should be kept, nor explicit details about it, how can we judge how it should be done? Are you implying that perhaps we shouldn't even be commemorating it?

Kingdom dynamics has little to do with agriculture .

Because in the beginning the apostles tried to restore Israel when Jesus said go preach the gospel . we are now in a very integral part of that experience .

there is division for the same reason there was division between Israel and Judah . same root . different cast . same play

a famine!

natalieJan777;54094552]You are missing the point. GOD rejoices as we rejoice. No one is denying:

Ps 2v1: Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2: The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3: Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5: Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6: Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7: I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8: Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9: Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10: Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11: Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12: Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.


John 2:19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."

I am uncertain here now of what your point about Easter is. If I were to go by the Jewish calender I would celebrate it Thursday at twighlight until Sunday at twighlight which would be 3 days.

what ever calendar you use sister you cannot get 3 days and 3 nites from good friday to easter sunday morning.

if you use our calendar you cannot use all day friday because Jesus was not put into the earth until the afternoon so friday cannot be counted as a full day and he rose before the breaking of day on the first day of the week, so sunday cannot be counted.

as far as your opinion her eis Jesus response.

Job 21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.


GOD is not going to look at the time frame in which we honor HIS SON, HE is going to look at the fact that we HONORED HIS SON.

read me his words concerning your speaking for him.


Personally I think that too much pagan rituals are used in the celebration of Christian holidays, such as easter baskets, easter bunnies, easter eggs, best clothing etc.. these are all outward things that honor man and do not HONOR CHRIST JESUS,

for some reason Jesus spoke on the tradition of men

Mt 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

Mk 7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.


but GOD isn't going to look at the outside ie... # of days, best clothing etc..., HE will be looking on the inside.

Eccl 3:17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

Eccl 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

how absolute is every?

The fact that we don't even have word from GOD that this holiday should be kept, nor explicit details about it, how can we judge how it should be done? Are you implying that perhaps we shouldn't even be commemorating it?
here is what I'm implying, you don't have to judge anything, just answer the question which you did. yet you are wrong because you cannot get 3 days and 3 nites from Good friday to easter sunday morning.
you admit that it has pagan traditions so you have judged yourself because you see nothing wrong with it.

Jesus died on the passover

Mt 26:2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

Jesus was our passover not our easter.

1Cor 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:



you accuse me of Judging like most chrisitan do when they don't understand something or they are doing something they know they should not. yet you have not shwoed me who I judged.

now you say I am criticizing, yet you have not provided proof of this but a website.

sister Christian

when did Jesus get put into the grave? what day and what time?

when did Jesus rise, what day and what time?

please put the verses, your opinion you gave above has not helped.
