What does Jesus mean about mansions?

[Psalm1]

Just answer the question.

Who was with Jesus when He spoke in John 14:2?

Apply Mark 4:34 and then explain what this tells you about whether He was speaking in parables in John 14:2.

No excuses, no criticism, no dodging, no throwing baseless insults. Just answer the question.

He didn't see the word "no", in front of insults, criticism,excuses, and dodges.

He also threw in a bonus of; "my dad can beat up your dad"

But if there is a contradiction even just 1 word in the holy bible then it comes from Satan.

So we can dismiss your misrepresentations of Scripture because they come “from Satan”.

See how that works?

 

[Psalm1]

Yes, as long as we can humble ourselves God will teach us.
Be patient and don't doubt.
God is always saying the truth.
JAMES 1:5-8
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

When you use scripture to minimize your opponent, and elevate yourself, that condescension has a unique odor.

God has given you wisdom. You have rejected it because you don't like the avenue God chose to deliver it.

Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

There is only one place where all the saints will dwell as their final destination the New Jerusalem.

Mat 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Mat 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Mat 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Mat 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
Mat 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Mat 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Mat 20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
Mat 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
Mat 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

There is not different levels of salvation to dwell in 3 different places but they will all dwell in one place.

Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Jesus came to fulfill the law which includes the offices of Israel.

But He has not fulfilled the role of King on earth yet because He came as a humble servant.

And it must be done on earth.

That is what the millennial reign is about.

When the reign is over the law is fulfilled and haven and earth shall pass away.

Which it is done by fire for all sin must be purged with fire.

Which heaven and earth has been tainted with sin.

Then all the saints will go to the place Jesus prepared the New Jerusalem where sin has never been and sin will never be.

And the saints and angels will remember nothing prior to that for it is associated with sin.

Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Mansion
monē
mon-ay'
From G3306; a staying, that is, residence (the act or the place): - abode, mansion.

Jesus could be saying that there is much room in heaven to accommodate every person that saved.

There is not a sign that says occupancy 2,000,000 but it can hold all people saved.

Perhaps Jesus will not say there is a plenty room in heaven to accomodate more people.
I think that is given already because God is saving as many souls as he can.

I can discern that John 14:2 has something to do with salvation.
The Lord Jesus said this so he can save souls. That is the use of it.

 

[Godsgood]

So we can dismiss your misrepresentations of Scripture because they come “from Satan”.

As I mentioned: The truth is for the lost sheep only. It is not for the dogs & swine (Matthew 7:6)

For those people who have a pride in their heart. Jesus just let them go.
JOHN 6:53, 60 & 66
5 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

 

[Godsgood]

I'm not elevating myself. I'm sharing the truth.
I followed what the Lord Jesus said.
MATTHEW 23:12
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

And so even you are tempting me to explain I never give my own explanation because I know nothing.
That is why I'm waiting to Lord Jesus to reveal the truth in John 14:2 and I will share what Lord Jesus reveal.

Would you admit that you know nothing?
But with your reply you are teaching.

 

[Godsgood]

God has given you wisdom. You have rejected it because you don't like the avenue God chose to deliver it.

God gave me the wisdom because I'm not using my own intellect to understand his words. And so I'm always waiting for his revelation.

How would you expect me to believe you on this (because you don't like the avenue God chose to deliver it). You never identify who God the Father is. Who's the God who told you this?
Remember aside from One True God there is another claiming he is a God.
EZEKIEL 28:2
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

Do you know who he is?

 

[Godsgood]

He didn't see the word "no", in front of insults, criticism,excuses, and dodges.

This is the verse of your name in this forum:
This is a warning from God.
PSALMS 1:1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Have you try to ask the Lord on what is the meaning of this or you just understand it yourself?

Anyway, we might open a thread about it.

 

[UnoiAmarah]

Who can explain the meaning of this?
In my Father's house are many mansions

Means that there are plenty of planets in the expanse of space.

 

[Dino246]

You never identify who God the Father is. Who's the God who told you this?

I’m not interested in your games. You have accused me of not having any revelation from the Father regarding who Jesus is. You have not provided any evidence. It is your obligation to provide evidence to support your accusation.

Alternatively, you could drop the stupidity and just treat others, including me, with respect. Answer questions directly without dodging or giving excuses. Ask questions without an agenda behind them. Don’t imply that others are inferior in faith or wisdom. Don’t make implicit judgments or insults.

Choose wisely.

A no brainer needs some special decoding?

 

[NewLifeInChrist]

I'm afraid to interpret the scripture by using my own intellect or from the other preacher.

What is there to be afraid of?

Lord Jesus is saying the truth.

Yes. I already explained it in this post.

2 PETER 1:20
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

I know the truth in John 14:2 will be revealed by Lord Jesus. Especially if there is a truth seeker in this thread.

This implies you don't know its meaning or you know the meaning but don't want to tell anybody.

 

[Dino246]

“Truth seeker” is the OP’s code for anyone who embraces his misinterpretations and doesn’t question or challenge him.

 

[NewLifeInChrist]

“Truth seeker” is the OP’s code for anyone who embraces his misinterpretations and doesn’t question or challenge him.

I was just trying to get him to explain his point of view.

He reminds me of this one fellow on here a while back that said something similar to "I won't be online very long and as a result if you don't come my way you will be missing out on the blessing that God meant for you to have when He sent me here." That's not an exact quote, but pretty close to his message.

It raises my attention when people say things like this. But these kinds of things don't draw me to them because I have an intimate personal relationship with the Most Holy God who lives in my heart. I know Him and I trust Him. And as Jesus said, I will not follow another.

But it does seem reasonable to ask that he share his thoughts (which he is so far unwilling to do) so that the truthfulness or falsehood of what he believes can be exposed to the light.

You will never understand the truth as long as the pride in your heart is still there.
You keep telling me that I'm accusing you. No Im not, I'm sharing the truth and the truth is not what you believe.

Alternatively, you could drop the stupidity and just treat others, including me, with respect.
When it comes to the words of God there is no respect to a person.
The truth must be prevailes and not respect.
ROMANS 2:11
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

Answer questions directly without dodging or giving excuses.
I could not answer the question directly.
As I said, I know nothing and I'm depending on what the Lord Jesus reveal then I will share it.
Those who answer the questions directly, they are teaching.
I'm not teaching like you, I'm sharing.

Don't treat me like you. Because you are teaching and if the listener don't believe in what you teach you are starting to say offended words to them.
Remember what the Lord Jesus said.
MATTHEW 20:16
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Don’t make implicit judgments or insults.

How can I believe a person who don't even identify who God the Father is.
I don't want to fall into the ditch.
MATTHEW 15:14
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

I'm not judging and insulting anybody.
I'm sharing the truth and the truth in the words of God will be served as the judge and not me.

After months of interaction with you, I have concluded that you are intellectually deficient and therefore cannot understand your obligation to back up your accusations with relevant evidence.

 

[Godsgood]

You don’t have many friends in real life, do you?

Oh no! When did having many friends become a basis for salvation?

I prefer to be in the truth, it doesn't matter whether I have many friends and no friends.

You don't understand the story of Noah?
Noah prefer to be in the truth than having friends.
And so his family only who entered the ark and no one else.

Perhaps you have more friends and I can discern who your friends are. Because I know who you are.
