No condenscention here! IT is always exciting to learn more about the BIBLE. I like the idea that in the future, our questions will be answered by GOD Himself. THis means that we can move on to other ideas and questions. THere is Never a dull moment in Christ.

Sorry Cloud9 I have been punished in many ways and molded by fire yet the quilt of my actions and ignorance remain. I'll share a small part of my punishment with you that you might better understand. My brother Matt was latter hit by a car and knocked off a bridge. He fell 90 feet. He was in the hospital for 4 months. Almost dyed several times. He was left paralize from mid chest down. He latter became an athiest. The root of all this is what I tought him. I can't undo that.

No, you didn't make that car hit him or teach him to be an atheist.

You're one of the best Christians I have ever talked to. You persevered with Jesus without even having access to the Word.

So what you will have to do instead of harboring guilt is let him see Jesus in you.

Tell him you're sorry about the fire thing but he probably doesn't blame you anyways. But it will help you blow off some of,that guilt you should have been done with by now.

Your brother has had some experiences that embittered him but you can still hold out hope to him for a better life. That's what Jesus is all about. Faith, hope and charity....If you help your brother get a living hope in Jesus his whole outlook on life will improve.

Just tell him God loves him. Start there.

the only way to obey yahweh(god) is to submit to him fully, just as it is written. literally, k

we each are either a slave of sin and death,

or a slave of righteousness. a willing joyful slave of yahweh by grace in yahshua.

as it is written even of yahshua, "HE DID NOTHING OF HIMSELF" and "SOUGHT NOT HIS OWN WAY". neither in actions nor in words.


even "every thought brought into subjection to yahshua(JESUS)" when we belong to HIM, when we are
born from above,
so, as, like>>

1 John 3 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

3 See what love the Father has lavished on us in letting us be called God’s children!


i.e. we have "free will" to obey yahweh if yahweh permits it, and grants it, in yahshua's grace and faith in him.
otherwise, our thinking we have 'free will' is a deception of hasatan and the flesh, and people who are
not born from above (born again, by the will of the father in heaven)
are continuing to continue to be slaves in every way, especially in their thinking,
and they are deceived into thinking they are making their own choices, but really are subject to t
he prince of the power of the air(the devil, hasatan),
not able to do anything actually on their own (except and until they turn to yahweh if he permits)..

(Ephesians) (which see) --- as even believers today, alive in christ jesus, "ALL ONCE WERE" (slaves of the devil, no matter what they did or thought).... ((with perhaps some 'leeway' if / as GOD'S WORD allows when children have believing parents and thus may be protected/ sanctified/ consecrated some way, in GOD'S WAY (not man's religious way, ever).... ))....

but, GOD'S WORD remains overall clear --- everyone is a slave. either of evil or of righteousness.

the one choice the remnant gets is to be a slave of yahshua instead of remaining dead in sin and trespasses.

oh, we have wonderful and great freedom in christ jesus after being made alive in him,
and
WILLINGLY AND JOYFULLY AND WITH PEACE, learn to do all we think and say and even feel, in HIM, in YAHWEH, in HIS PERFECT PLAN and PURPOSE, in HIS BODY, fulfilling HIS PURPOSE FOR US.....

instead of selfishly, carnally, religiously, or any other way of man, demon or flesh or sin.


Hey Jeff 56. Your last paragraph suggested that these men who wrote in the Bible had no will of their own. ....
the men willingly and joyfully and with overwhelming and overflowing JOY gave over their whole lives to yahweh in yahshua to do with as HE PLEASES, no exceptions, no holding back, no hesitation even but
completely with abandon TRUSTING HIM FOR ALL,knowing whatever HE CHOOSES IS not just BEST, but PERFECT and COMPLETE, lacking nothing --- nothing missing, nothing broken, IN HIS SHALOM (YAHSHUA)...

today, listen to HIM. there's never a dull moment in the last 40 plus years... HE abides with HIS children, now, today, every day, every moment! "YAHWEH dwelling with men" as it is written....


ask HIM today. HE may answer all of your questions today. He did for me, over forty years ago,,,,, and for many others of his children throughout scripture(read psalms!) and throughout history.

some of the questions are not answered the same as you might expect others to answer, but they are all
completely taken care of and there's no question remaining that is troubling or irksome --- all are resting in HIM, with HIS perfect care and

utterly peaceful surrender to HIM in all things trusting HIM and relying on HIM by grace in yahshua as HE says in HIS WORD, as HE always planned,
as HE knew before the creation of anything......

One of the reasons I asked the question is because no person who wrote in the Bible ever achieved assertion. Only Jesus and Moses were able to do that. I believe that Jesus wanted us to figure out how he achieved assention. I believe he preserved that secret in the Bible in a way that it could not be lost. I believe that secret can be found by answering my question in a comprehensive way. I think it only the first step in that direction. When you consider that we haven't yet made any progress in that direction for 2000 years. The first step would be a real improvement!!!

If you know and love Jesus the please help me to understand about his reasoning. Why did Jesus have all 12 of his disciples write about his ministry according to their own perception but never write a single word himself. I'd like to rule out that he was to busy or that he couldn't read or write himself. I personally can't believe either of those two answers.

Welcome aboard Michael!

The 12 were to bear witness. They were testify to Jews first and then non-Jews that "Jesus is Christ, the Son of the Living God." They saw Jesus baptized. They heard is His teachings. They saw His miracles. They saw His life, His death, and His resurrection. They were chosen by Jesus. The 12 testify to Jews that Jesus is the Messiah.

The writers of the Gospels
Matthew -- Apostle
Mark -- Not apostle
Luke -- Not apostle
John -- Apostle
Letters
Acts by Luke -- Not apostle
Romans - Hebrews by Paul -- Apostle
James by James -- Not the Apostle
1st, 2n Peter by Peter -- Apostle
1st, 2nd, 3rd John, Revelation by John -- Apostle
Jude by Jude -- Not Apostle

Not all apostles of Jesus wrote about Jesus.

Again, they were witnesses. They were testify, Jesus is Christ, the Messiah.

Jesus did not write about Himself.

But others did.

Think of the letters as records, evidence of Jesus being Messiah.
John 15:31-39

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Here are "witnesses" of Jesus

The Old Testament Scriptures
John the Baptist
The Father
Miracles
Apostles

Thank you Galahad. The credibility angle has been covered quite well already. It most certainly is a correct answer but not an answer that helps us understand Jesus any better then we already do. I still harbor the hope that we can some how understand Jesus better. That he had much more to teach us then just that he could perform miracles and that we can be forgiven for our sins. I just believe this on faith alone. I have ever since I gave myself over to God fully. That means my hart , my body, my mind, and my soul. I just know there is more to it all!!!

Thanks Jeshuvan. All of us that have submitted ourselfs to God=Jesus=Holly spirit are guided by the Holly spirit. These men were picked because they were our piers. They were as we are today. Men who were true believers. The only difference is that they saw it as it happened. I am sure there is more to it. I'm still hoping someone will have a more complete answer!!!

.... I believe that Jesus wanted us to figure out how he achieved assention. I believe he preserved that secret in the Bible in a way that it could not be lost. ....
HIS WORD tells us directly. HE never tells his disciples, us, his children, to figure it out.

HE always did what ABBA showed HIM or told HIM what to do. HE never did anything from HIMSELF, as HE HIMSELF testifies.

HIS DISCIPLES LIKEWISE, were to do nothing of themselves, but to seek yahweh, to frequently spend time with yahweh in prayer, and then to do what they saw HIM do, to speak what HE SPOKE. not from themselves.

JESUS told them HIMSELF DIRECTLY ---- yahweh the father will give you the WORD TO SPEAK as you open your mouth. never worry about what you are going to say -even IN COURT! it is your FATHER who speaks through you, and not yourselves.....

Hello Cloud . I'm sorry. I have not read the Bible. There is a reason why. I have a learning disability. I'm dyslexic. It's very saviour in me. Obliously I can read and write with the help of spell check. If not for spell check I wouldn't be able to talk on here at all. I have a very high level IQ to offset my disability. If I heir, see something do in person, or think about something I read I can retain it. If I just read anything and there is nothing to think about it just turns into a jumbled up mess. God has made it so that I must think for myself to learn. I've been thinking about this question ever since I fully submitted my self to God 33 years ago. Right after I did that I attempted to read the Bible. Everyday for almost a year. I could not remember a word of what I read the next day. Like I said it is a savior disability.
There are audio bibles all over the web.

You'll find answers to your questions in the bible... just dig in.


You'll never understand the bible if you won't read it.
You need to get an audio bible and get started.

Thanks Christianmom. The fine Christians on this sight have done a great job of refining my Question. If you would read the post already given you could better ask the question. The answers we already have are as follows. Credibility. That one is very popular. No one so far has come up with anything that helps us understand Jesus any better. Hope you have better luck. Also all 12 didn't write. I think only 5. Jesus had two of his brothers write too. The apostle Paul and one or two more. It's in more then one of the post in here. Good luck and hope to heir from you soon!!!

Thank you Cloud9. There is no hire honer then to be recognized by ones piers as a true Christian. I have already tried to do as you have instructed. I failed. Matt has been dead for 14 years. Thank you for the words of incouragement.

Tomorrow morning when you get up you start fasting and praying. Eat only vegetables and water and pray to God to get the deaf and dumb spirit to go away.

Then when we are done fasting and praying to get rid of that evil spirit you are going over to Everett Cox's self ministry to get rid of the rest of the demons that are plaguing you.

Jesus doesn't want you at the mercy of demons any longer and neither does your brother. They both love you and wish you,the best.

You can take a multivitamin.

Here is Cox's self ministry page.

You are going to eject those demons trying to run you. Send them to the feet of Jesus in the name of Jesus and praise Jesus for giving you the authority to be rid of these demons once and for all.

We're done with the demons....the day for them to be gone is long past.


Self Ministry ....multiple links with videos saying how to cast the demons out.

Deliverance Ministries, Inc. - SELF MINISTRY


Be sure you print the page with the demon problems you are experiencing.

There are sixteen demons and we want to cast all of them to the feet of Jesus along with any generational curses bothering you.

Here are the sixteen: Spirit of Divination, Familiar Spirit, Spirit of Jealousy, Lying Spirit, Perverse Spirit, Spirit of Haughtiness (Pride), Spirit of Heaviness, Spirit of Whiredom, Spirit of Infirmity, Dumb and Deaf Spirit, Spirit of Bondage, Spirit of Fear, Seducing Spirits, Spirit of Antichrist, Spirit of Error, And Spirit of Death.

Jesus is stronger than a legion of all these spirits put together and you are going to use his authority and power to get rid of them permanently.

Remember Jesus loves you and so does your baby brother.

Praise Jesus' most Holy Name.

Thanks for the advice Maxwell. I can't take you up in it though. I don't have any way to play any type of recording. I've isolated myself from the media. I don't listen to the radio. I don't watch TV. I don't go to movies. I'm trying to get closer to God. I'm trying to clear away all the static and only talk with other true believers. I hope to find real and complete answers to my questions. That's why I've desired to join this sight. I've learned a lot so far. I'm sure I'll learn a lot more in the future. Thanks again.

simple really. for yahshua(jesus) even. he did what the father told him to do. that's what GOD'S WORD says. that's what yahshua says himself.

next, he told his disciples to get so close to the creator in heaven, their father, that they knew/ saw/ heard what he wanted as he revealed it (and that this would take time (years, more than a decade even, ESPECIALLY TODAY!!! as people are raised so far from yahweh's WORD and TRUTH) ...

i.e. get away frequently with the FATHER, and "gradually(over years) your focus will change from yourself(selfish) to HIM(as it should be) "
then, do what you see your FATHER DO, (do this all along, every day; 'practice' you might say, more and more every day;) and speak what your FATHER in heaven speaks.

i.e. HE KNOWS EXACTLY what needs to be done and said in EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE.
HE HAS ALWAYS KNOWS. HE IS PERFECT.... SO WHAT HE KNOWS IS BEST BEST BEST BY FAR FAR FAR !!!

so find out what he says, find out FROM HIM what he does, then say and do that, as HE DIRECTS EVERY STEP. YES! by grace in yahshua, YES! amen.
