So, I suspect that Jesus is the shepherd of the flock in Is 63: 11.

Interesting point, but as I study this passage, I noticed that there's a lot of he, his and him that makes it a bit unclear who is being talked about by the Lord. In the timeframe that this verse is referencing, just after Israel crossed over the red sea, which could usually be called the deep...

Hey Blade... Two things I disagree with your post. 1) when a person says, this never work, never get a job, and always get sick is not faith. That is just belief which is based on fear. Faith is that form of believing that is only based upon the illuminated scripture and always produces works...

Hey Forest... Jesus tells us in Jn 16: 7 KJV "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you." It's just not possible for a person to have been born again or born of...

I'm a bit surprised that you didn't add this passage too, 1 Jn 4: 1-3 KJV "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is...

Heb 3 and 4 speak of entering into God's rest and can be summed up in Heb 4: 8-11 KJV "For if Jesus has given them reset, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest for the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased...

2 Tim 3: 16 KJV "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

Heb 9: 15 KJV "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." I suspect that unbelief in Jesus is not a...

At some point in a person's life, if they are confronted by a passage from God's word, such as, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." The Holy Spirit will convict a person of their sins and if they in sorrow, repent and turn to the Lord, that person is saved if they...

Jesus prayed to the Father while on the cross, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." I am picky about context when studying scripture, but I have to admit that I consider changing the meaning of the words in the original Greek text to be heresy. Things like arm = power, head =...

Jesus said, "He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me, and the Father will love him, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." Salvation clears our way to the Lord by removing our sin from before him. Once sin is removed, we are able to commune with the...

Think of faith as a muscle that is used to get things done, it doesn't just sit there; existing. The gifts of the Spirit function by faith, if you don't believe in them, you'll never use your gift(s), which scripture teaches we all have. Our prayer requests are also obtained of the Lord by our...

I took that to mean that Jesus wasn't praying for them in that prayer at that time. "God is not slack, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us ward, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance."

When Jesus entered the heavenly temple as the High Priest of the New Covenant, he purchased our atonement with his blood, as our kinsman redeemer under the law; taking our sin and the curse of the law upon himself by taking our place. To my thinking: God's law; being holy, good, and...

"For without faith it is impossible to please him, but we must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Faith is a miracle from Jesus that is given to those who believe God's word in their day of salvation and who respond to the Holy Spirit's call and...

If that which is perfect has come, then we all no longer know in part, but now know as we are ourselves are known of the Lord and we would no longer see the truth through a glass darkly; which would mean that there are no more disagreements over doctrines among the faithful. lol

I did note that John was told not to tell us what the last vial judgement was going to be in Rev, which may correspond to that shorting of those days...

Hey Keith... Nope! Which is my point: that verse alone keeps everyone from knowing the day or the hour.

1 Jn 1: 1 KJV "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." Jam 5: 16 KJV "Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth; and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth a sinner from the...

Eph 4: 14 KJV "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro , and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the slight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive."
