JOHN 20:29
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Yes, blessed is the man that believes and has not seen. We have heard and have seen. The time is today. Our HOLY SPIRIT is HOLY and needs a path to flow from his temple. We should clean and clear the way. It's time for signs and wonders. What happens when signs and wonders begins? The same power that lives in Mary also lives in the disciples. He lives in us right now. It's time to prepare the way through us, by clean(r)ing our mouth, hands, and feet of all sin so our HOLY SPIRIT can flow through a holy vessel. He is ready for signs and wonders. We are YESHUAS disciples today. Read 2 peter 1. That is a clear map on what we should be concentrating on so our HOLY SPIRIT can flow through us. He offers the fruits of the HOLY SPIRIT (Gal 5:22) as a map of what we need do to have the character of YESHUA. Which also produces (Heb 2: healing and... for signed and wonders. We are kings and priests now... (1 Peter 2:9) ( John 20:21,22 say YESHUA breathed.. and said recieve.. and 23 says to remitt or retain sins. And then turn the page (Acts 2 the fullness of our HOLY SPIRIT happens. )that's a priests job, we have been also sent with our HOLY SPIRIT to win souls to bring to GOD (John17)(Heb5 7:14-17) by the way (Heb5) did I understand that a priest came from men a sinful man? The 6-9 says YESHUA was then made perfect? If i misunderstood let me know. YESHUA bring souls to GOD. (John17). It's time to have the mind of CHRIST (1 Cor2:16)to do GODS will and obey. Make a holy place and way for our HOLY SPIRIT to pass through. GOD is calling his chosen to purification and be the priests we are ordained (ordered) to be. It's GODS will, clean ourself for our HOLY SPIRIT to come from the kingdom within. Prepare the way from within you. JESUS is coming from his kingdom where he rules and reigns. Is the kingdom within? Is Jesus KING of your kingdom living within you? It's time for him to be delivered from the bowels of our hearts just as he was delivered out of the bowels of Mary. His return is said to be the same way he came before. We are not supposed to pray Our FATHER in vain repetition, but with a pure heart. I say it's an prayer of oath. This I believe is the prayer to ordain a priest. I have alot more to say, but... what do you think? I see and hear (or know) something is stirring. It time Num 6:24-27 the prayer of a priest THE LORD GOD BLESS...
 
We are those who have come to know the one true God. We acknowledge that the Lord speaks in parables or dark sayings. One example is when He said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (John 2:19).

The Lord said these words while they were in the temple. Therefore, the Jews naturally understood Him to be referring to the literal temple, as shown in John 2:20. Yet the Lord was not actually speaking about the physical temple itself. His statement had a deeper meaning that they did not understand at that time.

This brings us to the passage we are discussing in John 20:29. The Lord said to Thomas, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

The Lord said this in the context of Thomas refusing to believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. Because of this context, the common understanding is that the Lord was referring to those who would believe in Him without physically seeing Him. In our time, since we do not physically see the Lord because He has ascended into heaven, it is commonly understood that we are included among those whom He called blessed.

However, if the Lord's statement concerning the temple was not referring to what the people naturally understood from His words, then the same principle should be considered in John 20:29. The Lord was not simply referring to people who have never physically seen Jesus and yet believe in Him.

If the Lord sometimes speaks in ways that have a deeper meaning than what is immediately understood from the literal words, then we should carefully examine what He meant when He said, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Therefore, the question remains: Who exactly was the Lord referring to when He said that those who have not seen and yet have believed are blessed?

The question deserves a deeper examination not merely according to our natural understanding of the words, but according to what the Lord Himself intended to reveal.
@In our time, since we do not physically see the Lord because He has ascended into heaven, it is commonly understood that we are included among those whom He called blessed.”

an apostle to believers who hadn’t seen the lord themselves

“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:6-9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

most of the church on the Bible after pentocost at least a lot of it had never seen but only heard the witness of the apostles and believed just like we do today we still read or hear the nt witness of the apostles and believe and love him and hope in faith to see him afterwards the faith itself includes the believer it seems.

Jesus plans were to send out chosen witnesses to spread the word he had established in the gospel centered upon his death and resurrection for the people. So faith was meant to come through thier words about him . When he was praying for his apostles sending them forth he also prayed for all who would believe thier witness

“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17:20-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

faith is …
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And so comes from hearing the truths and promises which we can’t see and haven’t seen or touched . This is the living structure of faith hearing what he said and believing it without natural and physical proof beforehand but believing his words as a promise that will not fail

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

How would we know Jesus died for our sins and rose again ? Of the word hadn’t been spread ? How would we know his name without the report we’re meant to believe ? Faith is meant to come from the apostles witness of the lord for us who haven’t seen it’s annointed

That’s an error of logic at best.

“but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
‭‭John‬ ‭20:31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭9:20, 22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭18:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
‭‭John‬ ‭4:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, ( christ )

justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭3:16‬

“who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:13-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“God was manifest in the flesh”

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I am having real problems trying to get you to understand my question. You say again in this reply that in your opinion, Jesus is not the anointed, aka the Christ. If that is true, why do we read these words, six times in the Bible? "Jesus is the Christ." You say He isn't the Christ. The Bible says He is the Christ. No offence, but I will believe what the Bible says about my glorious Saviour. Those are certainly not the words of a trained, but of a sinner saved by God's amazing grace
I told you the title is completed & done for Jesus !
The man was The Anointed One!.God has the anointing.This man Jesus is the one prophesied throughout God history for man . The man was killed on the cross He Now Has All Authority and power of God as The Quickened Form. you read about some in the 40 days after the crucifixion Jesus shows Himself as God and as a man that can not be Killed again. Jesus the Christ did died .Jesus God king Priest lives forever More. Aman
Note The plan for man is to Have this same Anointing that born Jesus to The quickened as His fruit to all men That can also & will be of quickened.,By the same Spirit, as you can find in History book of Him.This is what it All About! The branch man .
maybe study the word Quickened?
Be close enough to Him and know Jesus Son of MAN! as God

It's unfortunate that your command of written English is what it is. Reading and understanding your posts takes extra effort.

I think I understand what you're saying, that in His earthly life, Jesus was "the anointed" but now that He is risen, He is "the anointed" no longer. If that's what you believe, it contradicts Scripture. Jesus' anointing was not withdrawn, did not disappear, and did not dissipate. He is still Messiah/Christ, as Scripture continues to state until the very last verse.

Wouldn’t it be better, instead of interpreting the Lord’s words according to our own understanding, to simply ask Him what He meant?

Didn’t He Himself say these things?
Therefore, He alone has the authority to shed light on the meaning of His words.
Look at the parable of the power Matt 13... some 30 some 60 some100
I know that Jesus spoke in Aramaic. However, as far as I am aware, none of the gospels, in which we read His words, was originally written in Aramaic, but in Greek. The New Testament was first translated into Aramaic in the 2nd Century.
Mark 5:41 talitha cumi (TcHawk) is aramic

Mary anointed Jesus's head like Samual anoited David king and anointed his feet for burial. Symbolizing what a kings roll is a king to give his life to death(words of a worrior) for us because he obeyed GOD

And another Mary give birth to him. And another a Mary was the first messianic christian. Proclaiming the good news He has risen

What do you mean by "the title is completed and done for Jesus"? You tell me again that the Son was anointed by the Father. I agree. I disagree that the anointing happened at His baptism, because He is called "Jesus Christ" from birth. Then you say: " Jesus the Christ did died .Jesus God king Priest lives forever More. Aman ". It sounds as if you believe there are two Jesuses, one called "the Christ" and the other "Jesus Who is God, King and Priest.". The Bible teaches one Jesus Christ.

NKJV Col 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
Col 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
Col 2:10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

I don't know where you got those words from but they are not mine. Please don't say that I have written words that I have not written. Thank you.

Sorry , but I have something else to say. If you have faith in GOD, HOLY SPIRIT, and YESHUA which it souds like you do. Asks them one at a time to get the know them by name. They will introduce themselves by their different names for the needs you have. YAHWAY SHALOME means GOD of Peace.
Yes, I agree that a very few words of the New Testament (like "talitha cumi" and "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?") are in Aramaic.

Jesus as Man ok he is The anointed one .
He had a life that ended in crucifixion he was called Jesus Christ I guess you could say now all of you people know that it's a title I'm talking about Christ's title. The flash was or was set in a tomb sealed decaying like everybody else will. Assuming he stayed there for a few ? So Jesus appeared alive in a new type of body one that can go through walls scripture calls it second adam quickened spirit. Again repeating cuz you understand not what I say. Jesus shown this quickening for 40 days but yet no one had received the Holy Spirit you can obviously see that in the scripture ? Law legall Authority Jesus was not able to give the holy spirit yet but he did speak it to them to receive this you can see in the Bible also clearly. Jesus need to be accepted in heaven I will say by having I know you don't like that I should say you don't know that. But haven't accepted him and seated in heaven . Now now Jesus is no longer anointed.
To see it high priest king Gid now has the anointing to Anoint. That's that's where you did get lost and try to change what I'm saying he's not on a throne as Christ but he is on the phone as having the Christ which is the Holy Spirit and that's the best way I can put it to you and you're not going to like it . Meanwhile the Lord's faithful are teaching others and and leading them to the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is branching more this was prophesied you read the Jesus words himself the anointing of man on Earth right now the anointing is in them but they are I'm at the anointing this is the holy spirit which is still in Jesus but is shared with us I remember Jesus is a man and God and this is where the scripture screws you up because you really don't know their time and and how they spoke relating to things they had a hard time than we did cuz they they had to work Hands-On with all new teachings of the Holy Spirit and we don't get a lot of that in the book do we it's because we're supposed to use a holy spirit ourselves as they did but but we as a people don't we're still stuck in religion and he's right she's right. So religion to make it have their power they let you believe what you speak and and it's from the word of God as you interpret it or you think what the apostles meant this Play Jesus says it's to make the blind see and the ones that that Think they see blind. Anyway the only way we anoint each other is by the Holy Spirit and that's because you set us out to be Kings and priests as he is he is but the holy spirit is of him the source alone ! With pegging your name to a nice saying there nothing I could do about that and then if I write not David's word you still don't get it cuz I did that once before it was an accident and nothing I can do about it I'm not even sure how it's within the site that is a wonderful saying I would love to hear you say that even even tho it was the holy spirit with your name peg to it so he's apologizing to you then cuz you don't accept that I apologize for having to hit post but I come in here in his name and I come here for the glory for him alone it's just too bad you don't understand what I'm saying and I say that because of the way you reply saying things in a way that I didn't mean it to be said but but but I had set in your heart that why and you change it up because you're thinking something else when you're reading something I wrote Colonel men do this all the time and no more conversations with me I say red car and they go back to their childhood type of then they get out of the subject to go to another subject about your girlfriend in the red car and that's what's going around here with the Holy Spirit ruach we are to Parah the lane English word is grow. And you can't do either without the anointing of The Holy Spirit whether you find that written or not know it's true
 
Jesus as Man ok he is The anointed one .

Yes, I agree that "Jesus" is a name and "Christ" is a title.
The flash was or was set in a tomb sealed decaying like everybody else will.
(I assume you meant "flesh", not "flash"). His body did not decay. He rose from the dead. When the women, and Peter and John, went to His tomb, there was not decaying body there:

Luk 24:1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
Luk 24:2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
Luk 24:3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
Luk 24:4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.
Luk 24:5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?
Luk 24:6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,

Assuming he stayed there for a few ? So Jesus appeared alive in a new type of body one that can go through walls scripture calls it second adam quickened spirit. Again repeating cuz you understand not what I say. Jesus shown this quickening for 40 days but yet no one had received the Holy Spirit you can obviously see that in the scripture ?
Yes, His body could pass through walls, but it was still the same body, glorified. It still bore the wounds caused by the nails and the spear.
Law legall Authority Jesus was not able to give the holy spirit yet but he did speak it to them to receive this you can see in the Bible also clearly. Jesus need to be accepted in heaven I will say by having I know you don't like that I should say you don't know that. But haven't accepted him and seated in heaven . Now now Jesus is no longer anointed.
To see it high priest king Gid now has the anointing to Anoint. That's that's where you did get lost and try to change what I'm saying he's not on a throne as Christ but he is on the phone as having the Christ
Jesus Christ on the phone? What are you talking about? And He is on the throne as Jesus Christ:

Act 2:29 "Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
Act 2:30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
Act 2:31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.

There is no way in which He became "un-anointed". As I mentioned before, He is still called "Christ" (anointed one) in the very last verse of the Bible.

which is the Holy Spirit and that's the best way I can put it to you and you're not going to like it . Meanwhile the Lord's faithful are teaching others and and leading them to the Holy Spirit
Where are Christians taught to lead others to the Holy Spirit? We are to seek to lead people to the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.
and the Holy Spirit is branching more this was prophesied you read the Jesus words himself the anointing of man on Earth right now the anointing is in them but they are I'm at the anointing this is the holy spirit which is still in Jesus but is shared with us I remember Jesus is a man and God and this is where the scripture screws you up because you really don't know their time and and how they spoke relating to things they had a hard time than we did cuz they they had to work Hands-On with all new teachings of the Holy Spirit and we don't get a lot of that in the book do we it's because we're supposed to use a holy spirit ourselves as they did but but we as a people don't we're still stuck in religion and he's right she's right.
I agree that Jesus Christ is fully God and (since the incarnation) fully man. That doesn't "screw me up".
So religion to make it have their power they let you believe what you speak and and it's from the word of God as you interpret it or you think what the apostles meant this Play Jesus says it's to make the blind see and the ones that that Think they see blind.
I don't play Jesus. He is not a toy or a game.
Anyway the only way we anoint each other is by the Holy Spirit and that's because you set us out to be Kings and priests as he is he is but the holy spirit is of him the source alone !
Where does the Bible tell us we are to anoint one another?
