Do we know how Yeshua lived his life?

[Rainrider]

thank you. insight given you from Father to me at least
I have done that, gotten excited and then it went away and had to go and get more excitement and did that, then watched it fade again and again and in need went Back to today's priest

Now see this

King James Version
Hebrews 8:1-4
8 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

And yet we today have priests still. I like the gathering of people to share in care one to the other, not the ones going there to fleece the flock over it. A gigantic difference, God views the Motive!
As in James it states one asks and does not get, then one is perplexed in not getting, goes to church to get and gets, not from God maybe?
I see this, to seek out why I am asking God, am I out to spend it on my own pleasures? If am, whatever I get will be gone, not truly getting
Thanks for the post

Not being judgmental in any way, just asking to give you something to think on. Do you think that going after ones personal pleasure may be whats getting in the way? You see, I once chased after my own wants, and in so doing, I forgot about everyones NEEDS.

 

[GWH]

Jesus lived his life like he taught us to live ours. He is our perfect role model, not a hypocrite.

Mar 8:11–13; Luk 12:54–56 

Mat 16:1 One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.
Mat 16:2 He replied, “You know the saying, ‘Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow;
Mat 16:3 red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.’ You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the signs of the times!
Mat 16:4 Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign, but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah. ” Then Jesus left them and went away.

In many ways people today are looking for the same thing. Some sign that HaShem is real, anything would work, or so they say. Yet as is always the case you hear, "If HaShem is real, and in charge why did He let 9-11 happen?" Truth is, He didn't let it happen, He simply followed His own law. You see, if HaShem removed free will from even one person, He would violate His own law. So when we look for a sign that He is doing His part, look inside your self. Look at the changes that were made in your own heart after turning your life over to Him. If you don't see any, then your confession of faith may not have been sincere.

Mar 8:14–21 
Mat 16:5 Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any bread.
Mat 16:6 “Watch out!” Jesus warned them. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Yeast, what an odd thing to say right? In truth it isn't, you see Yeast, or leaven, is a symbol of sin. So it stands to reason that Yeshua was warning them not to fall for their tricks. In today's world, we must also be wiry of much the same thing. People that know the word well, can twist it if talking to someone with little understanding of it. Or you find someone with little understanding trying to convince you of something that isn't true at all.
Mat 16:7 At this they began to argue with each other because they hadn’t brought any bread.

I wasn't there, yet I think it went something like this. You were in charge of getting our food.
No you were, and now we will all starve to death.
Isn't it amazing how short mans memory is?
Mat 16:8 Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, “You have so little faith! Why are you arguing with each other about having no bread?
Mat 16:9 Don’t you understand even yet? Don’t you remember the 5,000 I fed with five loaves, and the baskets of leftovers you picked up?
Mat 16:10 Or the 4,000 I fed with seven loaves, and the large baskets of leftovers you picked up?
Mat 16:11 Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread? So again I say, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’”

It is no wonder that Yeshua reminded them of what He had just said. Even He could see how fast they forget things.
Mat 16:12 Then at last they understood that he wasn’t speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

I know some will take ofence at this, yet somehow I think the ones doing so need to hear it the most. In almost any church you can find teachings that are not in line with the word. Yet some will go out and teach those same things as truth. They are willing to fight to the death over them. As anyone that has followed my writings on here, you know it to be true. How many times have we shown the law to be valid today? How many times have we brought others to the point of down right anger ove it, or had them say the law was valid, only to change their mind in the next line, or post. Many many more than we wish to think.

Oh we know some are thinking we place our faith in Law, and not HaShem. that we have passed over the sacrifice of Yeshua for our sins, yet we haven't. You see, just as Yeshua has said, Keep the commandments? 5 to the best I can remember. 2 of them are in the Book of Rev. To be a bit more clear, Rev. 14:12 and Rev. 12:17 make it clear.

yes, their is the taking for granted of all sins as forgiven by Son for anyone. Unfortunately so. and is what I see religion vamps on. What???????????????????????????????????

Matthew 23:15
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

We are no longer under Law, yet to see to uphold law as good, not to take advantage of for self gain at all. I see James, say in James you ask, you do not get, could it be your own selfish desires, you will spend this amazing grace on yourself and act as if you are not doing that, when in, truth you are!
Been there done that too, God revealed to me, my selfishness, the same as God did to Paul too, who wrote truth to us all in Father's continued love to us all through the done work of Son to appreciate and not use it for any self gain anymore
God simply loves us all and as soon as pone, anyone gets that in them, they change from inside out, thanks for that ?. truth is Love of God Won for us all, to stand in John 16:33 and see Col 1:21-23 God perfectly loves us all, time to respond and stop trying to create thanks

Mar 8:27–30; Luk 9:18–20 
Mat 16:13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is? Mat 16:14 “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”
Mat 16:15 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
Mat 16:16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Mat 16:17 Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.
Mat 16:18 Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.

Here is something you may never heard before. Some teach that the rock isn't peter, rather Avraham. They say that after the flood HaShem pushed over a rock, and seen Abram. Seeing that he would grow to follow the teachings of HaShem, and bring up his kids to follow them,, HaShem it is on this rock that I will build.
Now before you go looking for that, it isn"t in your Bible. So how do they come up with that? They use logic, and understanding of the Torah. You see, when HaShem made the covenant with Avraham, we learned that HaShem was going to build from that seed. Though some may disagree with teaching, it does fit. You see, that foundation of bed rock we hear so much about, is the Torah.
Mat 16:19 And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”

The idea that we have the power to simply make something sinless may sound odd to some. Yet others use this passage to make that claim. It almost seem they think they can simply say homosexuality is no longer a sin, so now that must be allowed in heaven.
Yet when it seen in the light of that strange teaching, We should understand something. Avraham, nor Peter would ever say a thing condemned by HaShem is sin free. So why do so many wish to think they can?
Mat 16:20 Then he sternly warned the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Some say he was warning them so he wouldn't be taken at all. Yet in truth, it was really was more about timing than anything. Just Yeshua told His mom, It isn't my time yet. The same applies here.

Regarding the rock: Knowing the Greek is helpful, because it indicates that the rock is faith akin to Abraham's and Peter's.

Mar 8:31–33; Luk 9:21, 22 
Mat 16:21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.
Mat 16:22 But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!”
Mat 16:23 Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”

There are some that teach this shows Peters lack of faith. We however don't agree. What we see is a love that simply is unwilling to except facts. You see, when a person loves, they will place their own life at risk to save the one they love. Much like a dad would do for their kids. The idea that this has anything to do with Peter being Satan is a bit nuts. However we do think that Peters love may have made Yeshua think of not being our sacrifice. If so that would explain why Yeshua responded the way He did. I would love to hear your thoughts on this if you are willing. Never know you give us something to think on. Mar 8:34–38; Luk 9:23–26 

Mat 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.

We also understand that Yeshua may well have been thinking on the fact that we humans are more than a bit selfish. We know what we want, and some will do anything to get it, and hold onto it. So yes it can be that Peter was not thinking of Yeshua, rather thinking of himself. Though that's the most common way that people look at this, it doesn't mean we are wrong, just different. Sadly most people are selfish, even if it means hurting the one they say they love. I can go on and on with this, yet there is so much more more to see.
Mat 16:25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
Mat 16:26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?
Mat 16:27 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.

Some are so willing to say they would give their life for Yeshua, yet until that time comes we really don't know. Sadly there are some that will take the mark not knowing they just condemned themselves. Not because they are scared, more because they simply don't know Who Yeshua is, or what we should expect. They will see the Beast, and think that is Yeshua. More on that to come, just know that reason we opened this thread is due to what we have seen on here. Many teachings we have seen simply don't fit, and will lead some to not see the truth. Again more to come on that.
Mar 9:1–13; Luk 9:27–36; 2Pe 1:16–18 
Mat 16:28 And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”

So how many think even one person that was there is still walking around teaching the Word? As we are told of the death of 11 of the disciples we are never told about Johns. If HaShem wanted John to live long enough to see Yeshua return, who are we to say John isn't walking around think, "How bad must it become before He comes to set things right? I can see that if HaShem willed it, that is what would happen.

Don't get me wrong I also know first hand that at lest one church uses this passage to say every prophecy has been fulfilled. Even the second coming. Yet history simply doesn't show this in anyway. It is also a dangerous teaching. You see if we walk through life ignoring what is yet to be fulfilled, we sure won't know Yeshua when He returns. They won't even know the beast, and will take him mark, thinking Yeshua has returned for a 3rd time. Not sure why they would think that really. Though I do know some of them even think we are living in the New earth, and that anything and everything is great. I don't think they have looked out a window once in their life or they would know that isn't true.

Mat 17:1Six days later Jesus took Peter and the two brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone.
Mat 17:2As the men watched, Jesus' appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light.
Mat 17:3Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus.

Some think the 2 witnesses will be Moses and Elijah. Though we are never told who they are, it seems as though they may well be.
Mat 17:4Peter exclaimed, "Lord, it's wonderful for us to be here! If you want, I'll make three shelters as memorials —one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Mat 17:5But even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him."

Sadly it seems more people want to listen to Paul, and only if what he said can be made to fit their ideas.
Mat 17:6The disciples were terrified and fell face down on the ground.
Mat 17:7Then Jesus came over and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid."

Don't get me wrong, I know if I heard a voice from a cloud, I would most likely would freak out as well. However, with them being Jewish, they have heard and studied Torah their whole lives. That being as it is, they would have known of the voice at Sinai, so you would think they be thinking, why cool. Then knowing that story ourselves, I don't think anyone would just say Hello Father.
Mat 17:8And when they looked up, Moses and Elijah were gone, and they saw only Jesus.
Mat 17:9As they went back down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
Mat 17:10Then his disciples asked him, "Why do the teachers of religious law insist that Elijah must return before the Messiah comes?
Mat 17:11Jesus replied, "Elijah is indeed coming first to get everything ready.

It is here that many find the 2 witnesses must be Elijah and Moses. If we are on this earth when they show up, then we will know for sure, until then, we can only speculate.
Mat 17:12But I tell you, Elijah has already come, but he wasn't recognized, and they chose to abuse him. And in the same way they will also make the Son of Man suffer."
Mat 17:13Then the disciples realized he was talking about John the Baptist.

I know I said some think it is Moses and Elijah, yet here it seems the 3 with Him are thinking it was John the baptist. I really don't think any debate on this is helpful to understanding Yeshua's teachings, nor can it help us to find what we must.
Though we haven't covered much here, and the commentary we gave is vague at best, I do pray you think on it. Not so much our words, as the Word it's self.

 

[Rainrider]

Mat 17:14 At the foot of the mountain, a large crowd was waiting for them. A man came and knelt before Jesus and said,
Mat 17:15"Lord, have mercy on my son. He has seizures and suffers terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.
Mat 17:16So I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn't heal him."
Mat 17:17Jesus said, "You faithless and corrupt people! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me."

As we can see Yeshua is making it clear that faith is needed to heal, not faith in the one placing their hands on you. We must have faith that HaShem is willing to heal us, and that He has already. I know sounds odd to think He has already healed us, when we are still sick, or what ever, yet just as the blind man trow off his cloak. Remember that was act of faith. Or the lady that had bleed for what was it 12 years. She know before she was healed, she just needed to follow through with her plan.

Mat 17:18Then Jesus rebuked the demon in the boy, and it left him. From that moment the boy was well.
Mat 17:19Afterward the disciples asked Jesus privately, "Why couldn't we cast out that demon?"
Mat 17:20"You don't have enough faith," Jesus told them. "I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.

Have you ever told a mountain to move? I don't think anyone has, yet if they had, did it move? Most likely not. You see we humans simply can't wrap our minds around the idea that it will. The idea of casting out demons isn't something we think of. In fact, I have heard many that say they are teachers of the word say that doesn't happen in today's world. Yet is that hat those who face addiction have in them?

Mat. 17:21 "But this kind of evil spirit will not leave except by prayer and fasting."

This passage has been removed from a lot of Bibles, Though the reasoning behind it is unclear. As you can see there is useful information in it, and gives us good reason to pray, and fast.

Mat 17:22After they gathered again in Galilee, Jesus told them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies.
Mat 17:23He will be killed, but on the third day he will be raised from the dead." And the disciples were filled with grief.

Why would one grieve when they know Yeshua would rise after the 3rd day? Just as before their faith was weak, and their understanding human. Think about it this way, if we had a loved one pass we know were saved, how would we react? Most do grieve, I know I have. Yet in the end I found comfort knowing that I would be reunited with them.

Mat 17:24On their arrival in Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple tax came to Peter and asked him, "Doesn't your teacher pay the Temple tax?"

Mat 17:25"Yes, he does," Peter replied. Then he went into the house.
But before he had a chance to speak, Jesus asked him, "What do you think, Peter? Do kings tax their own people or the people they have conquered?
Mat 17:26"They tax the people they have conquered," Peter replied. "Well, then," Jesus said, "the citizens are free!
Mat 17:27However, we don't want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us."

I have known at lest one person that used this passage to get out of paying taxes. Did it work out? If you think getting locked up is a sure sign it worked then yes it did. Yeshua know this, and so paid the tax, and went on.

Mar 9:33–37; Luk 9:46–48
Mat 18:1 About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

As we know from both Mark and Luke they had been arguing about with one of them was the best. As we know from our own lives, some people feel they are the best at everything, and way smarter than everyone around them.
Mat 18:2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.
Mat 18:3 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 18:4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

So what makes a child better than adults? They have an inquisitive mind. If something seem off to them, they never stop questioning it until they are satisfied. Ask any parent, they will tell you the same thing.
Now in the KJV it reads converted. I know one person that had it their head we must convert to Judaism. Not something you will ever see me push. As we know the name on the door can't save you, and the change of faith doesn't mean a change of heart.
Mat 18:5 “And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.

We have talked this over many times. Why would a child be the same as welcoming Yeshua? hat we came to see, (and yes it can be wrong) is that a child holds no animosity, no jealousy, going through life a pure heart. Sadly by the time they become adults, there is a good chance they have lost that.

Mar 9:42–48; Luk 17:1, 2
Mat 18:6 But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.

Sadly this goes to a lot of people. At times children are forced into things they would have no thought of doing on their own. However, we must also think about the way we treat adults as well. Should we do our best to change how a person lives their life when they are just doing their best to walk in the Way, and live a life by what the word places before us. It's all good right? I mean if they don't walk the same path as us, they must change. I could go on for a week on this one topic, however I think I have made the point needed.
Mat 18:7 “What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.

Some use this passage to say that if I bring sin into your life, that sin is placed on me 10 fold. Though it doesn't say that at all, it does make it clear we would be better off if we had just locked ourselves in a room and never came out.
Mat 18:8 So if your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one hand or one foot than to be thrown into eternal fire with both of your hands and feet.
Mat 18:9 And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

Oh the things we have talked about on this. What we must always keep in mind is that this in way is intended to teach self mutilation. As we know, or should there is a commandment that tells us not to cut ourselves, or get tattoos.
So what is it telling us to cut off then? Just as we are told to cut a person off if they do certain things, this is one of them. If a person leads us into sin, or even tries to we should remove them from our lives.
Luk 15:1–7
Mat 18:10 “Beware that you don’t look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father.

This has been interpreted by some to say we all have our own guardian angle. Though it is easy to see why, it doesn't really say that. The other teaching that comes from this passage is that every group has their own. This is often backed by the fact that in the Word, we read about angle of Isreal, and then one for Persia, and so on. Make up your own mind on this. Then again we are to work all this out for ourselves. It does help to be open and look at teachings that may not be in line with our own, after all, no matter how good we think we are, it is clear not one of us is perfect.

It has been sometime sense I worked with a newer Bible. I am going to need to do it a bit more. I find it sad that anyone would remove a passage from the word, and here we are again.
Mat. 18:11 “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost
Now it would seem this passage is not just a whim, so why was it removed from newer translations?
Mat 18:12 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
Mat 18:13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away!

I know first hand this is true. I care for the feral cats around my house, and one goes missing, I spend a lot of time looking for them, and at times they show up again after 2 or 3 weeks. When they do, or I find them my heart leaps with joy. I always give thanks to HaShem for their return. So if I feel this way, I know it doesn't hold a candle to the joy HaShem feels when one of us gets lost, and finds our way back to Him.
Mat 18:14 In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish.
If a missing cat doesn't come back, I feel the lose. You see like HaShem I wish they lived forever, and I never lost one. Yet deep down, I know they don't live forever, and that at some point they will never return. Sad as it is, part of life is death. At lest physically. Oh I still like to think that I will see them again in the after life. Just as HaShem hopes to have every person even born will join Him as well.
Mat 18:15 “If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.
Mat 18:16 But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses.
Mat 18:17 If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.

There are some on here that we have found it necessary to distance ourselves from. They know who they are, and why. It isn't as though I like the idea, it is just that when a person wishes to argue a point, only to openly admit they don't really stand by what they are saying, then turn around and try to say they didn't. Does it bother me? Yes, you see we know that they understand the truth, yet are willing to go and teach a lie.
Mat 18:18 “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.

This doesn't say if we say sin of any kind will be permitted in heaven. We simply don't hold that kind of power. Once HaShem says a thing is sinful, it is. We may think it ok, yet in the eyes of HaShem it will remain sinful.
Mat 18:19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.

Again we understand if 2 people agree that sin isn't really sin, it doesn't change the facts. Sin as we all know is a real thing, and that never changes. If we transgress the law, we sin. That is Biblical.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

We have talked this over many times. Some of us think that even when on here HaShem is with us. The rest think it means to gather in real life, not on line. The funny thing is that we all agree HaShem knows our hearts, and is able to be with us, even if there is an ocean between us.

Mat 18:21 Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?”
Mat 18:22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!

At some point do we ever not forgive? No, in fact as we seen from what is now called the Lords prayer, our forgiveness of others effects weather HaShem forgives us. Remember it says, "Forgive my trespass as I forgive those who trespass against me." So just doing the math and thinking if we forgive 490 times it's all good. However as most of us know that is wrong. Just as the Forgive and forget idea isn't Biblical.
Mat 18:23 “Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him.
Mat 18:24 In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars.
Mat 18:25 He couldn’t pay, so his master ordered that he be sold—along with his wife, his children, and everything he owned—to pay the debt.
Mat 18:26 “But the man fell down before his master and begged him, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.’
Mat 18:27 Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt.
Mat 18:28 “But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment.
Mat 18:29 “His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time. ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it,’ he pleaded.
Mat 18:30 But his creditor wouldn’t wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full.
Mat 18:31 “When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him everything that had happened.
Mat 18:32 Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, ‘You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me.
Mat 18:33 Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’
Mat 18:34 Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.
Mat 18:35 “That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.”

Many times in life someone will do us wrong, even if it was not intended. How we forgive is as this passage suggest, from the heart. However there are some that will say, I forgive you. Then walk away still mad, and try to make a case with their friends about how horrible that person is. That isn't forgiveness.
Though we as humans don't forget about the wrong others do us, we have no need to speak ill of them. after saying we forgive them. Now don't get me wrong, if we are asked to give a reference, most will make it clear they hold no trust for the person. Would that be right or wrong? Truth is it would be wrong. By doing so, we show that forgiveness isn't in us for that person. We would be better off to simply decline to give reference.

Mar 10:1–12 
Mat 19:1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went down to the region of Judea east of the Jordan River.
Mat 19:2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed their sick.
Mat 19:3 Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

Sadly this has became a question many have faced. It does make some a bit uncomfortable to try and answer. You see we live a world that wants things how they want them and no other way. Yet there are some that walk through it unafraid. as they value truth over popularity.
Mat 19:4 “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’
Mat 19:5 And he said, ‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’
Mat 19:6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”
Mat 19:7 “Then why did Moses say in the law that a man could give his wife a written notice of divorce and send her away?” they asked.
Mat 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended.
Mat 19:9 And I tell you this, whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery—unless his wife has been unfaithful.

The King James uses the word adulatory. This word is applied to more than just extra marital affairs. As we know the Word also uses this same word when speaking of Israel turning to other gods. So do we think this would also be a reason to give your spouse a letter of divorces? It can lead to that yes, and many see it as a good reason. However, the Word is clear that we not seek a reason for divorce.
Mat 19:10 Jesus’ disciples then said to him, “If this is the case, it is better not to marry!”
Mat 19:11 “Not everyone can accept this statement,” Jesus said. “Only those whom God helps.
Mat 19:12 Some are born as eunuchs, some have been made eunuchs by others, and some choose not to marry for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

For some finding in their heart acceptance of this is not easy. They would rather hold on to their own way of thinking, and get rid of the one they are with. Yet when it all comes out in the wash, we must live by the Word, even when we don't like what it teaches us.
