Matthew 11: 13 & 14 What does it mean to you?

Are you reading the same Bible I am? Tell me what your bible says, please

For before John came, all the teachings of the Scrriptures looked forward to the present time. And if you aare willing to accept what I say, he is Elijiah, the one the prophets said would come.

That is what it says to me. We are in agreement Steve-o

Nothing. Bunch of fictional gibberish.

What does Chapter 11, pages 13 & 14 of Homer's Illiad mean to you?

Perhaps if you will quote some of Homer's Illiad to me, I can give you an answer.

Hi Phamie. I like a lot of your posts. But this one is honestly gibberish to me. There are lots of Biblical quotes I could comment on, but not this one. I give people a hard time when they give opinions on things when they shouldn't, so I was taking my own advice, and not doing so. Maybe not succeeding though. Cheers.

You are refreshingly honest, and I do respect a guy who takes his own advice. Very commendable trait. Thank you for visiting though.

Bugger off Brenda, you're a wack job. Let me and Phamie have our conversation in peace. She's not only got a lot of class, she's got a lot of intelligence too. Come back when you figure out how "profile photos" work. Dickie, eh? (insert your own joke here)

Some notes found on this scripture:Matthew 11: 12-15

The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence (Gr. biazomai):

The meaning of this saying, and the connecting verses 12-14 with preceding and following contexts, indicates that John opened the kingdom of heaven to sinners and thus became the culminating point of Old Testament witness,. Jesus' statement that "this is Elijah" indicates the ministry predicted by Malachi 4:5,6

5 Behold, I will send to you Elijah the prophet before the comming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Malachi 4: 5-6 KJV

You warm my heart. Someone who knows! Thank you for sharing.

i don't know . . . but in the same vein . . . what do chapters 14 and 15 of harry potter: the prisoner of azkebhan mean to you?

It means what the Old Testament Predicted: Comfort for G-d's People - Isaiah 40 ( A voice of one calling in the desert prepares (the way for the LORD) make straight in the wilderness.

It also means (the way for the LORD) in the Old Testament Isaiah 42 the prediction of Yeshua

That is why Yeshua responded that way- The Torah and Old Testament are the old scrolls of the Jews and the jews were not paying attention when John arrived.

It has something to do with my days in the synagogue, and what I learned from Rabbi. A respectful act that I don't always remember to do.

according to Judaism, it is wrong, but I don't always remember to do it that way. Perhaps he is a Messianic Jew.

There are Jews who embrace Jesus as the Messiah. It is not a part of their religion, it is an individual choice. Jesus was an orthodox Jew during His lifetime.

Are you a Christian? One would have severe doubt about that after reading your response to jimfetter - little, if anything, was Christian about it either in content or in tone. As far as prayers are concerned, you should turn a few of them towards yourself that you would be granted a speck of charity towards others. Amen!

You are most welcome. Have you ever read that scripture?

Nope.

Perhaps if you read it, you would no longer be confused.

Nothing at all.
Just rubbish.

Remember that remark 3 yrs. from now.

Is I goin go to hell? o.o

Could be

LOL.
Which is another reason why I don't worship the Christan God.
People like you telling me where I'm going to go after I die.

What about the Jewish G-d?

Same concept, if I'm not mistaken.

Very good, you know there is no difference. You are not mistaken. Blessings

Oh wow.
Attacking one of your own now?
THE HELL..
I sense a troll.. o.O

God answers all my prayers. You tell me then, the difference between a Christian God and the Jewish God.
You don't even make sense to me. You just attack. God is love, not the hell, fire, and brimstone that you spew.
I hope you find this out soon.
