I see a lot of programs about finding ghosts, what are ghosts? Good or evil? Where do our spirits go when we die? |

Hello dalle,
Welcome to the Forum.
In considering the meaning of this verse, keep in mind the purpose of John's Gospel, "...that believing, you may have life in his name"
Back in John 5:36 we read, "But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish--the very works that I do--testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me."
Then, in 6:28 and 29, we're told "Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"
Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
Of John 9:4, the Bible Knowledge Commentary notes:
"Day means the time allotted for Jesus to do God’s will (to do the work of Him who sent Me). We includes the disciples and by extension all believers. Night is the limit set to do God’s works. In Jesus’ case it was His coming death. As the Light of the world Jesus gives people salvation (cf. 8:12). After His death, His disciples would be His lights (cf. Matt. 5:14; Eph. 5:8-14), bringing Christ to others."
I hope this helps,
BradK

Scripture ... Gen 49:17; Jud 17:1-18:31; 1 Ki 12:28-29; 1Ch 4-8; Eze 48; Hos 4:17, 7:1-16; Amo 8:11-14 ...
God's day to you, findrichard, and welcome to the SBF,
Not only is the tribe of Dan missing, but so is the tribe of Ephraim. Manasseh, Joseph and Levi are listed.
Ephraim and Dan were idolaters (Jud 17:1-18:31, Hos 4:17, 7:1-16; Amo 8:11-14).
Dan is the site of an idolatrous 1 Ki 12:28-29
It is interesting that Dan is omitted from the genealogies (1Ch 4-8). In Ezekiel 48, Ephraim is only listed in Division of the Land (vv 5-6), but not elsewhere.
Some think Genesis 49:17 says Dan is an image of Satan, because of serpent ... but Ephraim is also not in the Final 12.
This is only a guess,

Scripture ... Gen 2:17, 3:3..23-24; Eph 2:1-10, Rev 20-22 ...
God's day to you, dlane705, and welcome to the SBF,
Sin separates us from God - spiritual death. We see this from Genesis to Revelation.
To physically die one has no sensation ... but to be physically and spiritually separated is a great pain. Think about the pain when you are apart from a loved one - with no contact. If you were dead, it wouldn't bother you ... but when alive, I have found it to be tough.
What do you think?

BMyers. it is refreshing to see another brother without the delusion of thinking they have it all figured out. You are exactly right, there is no good reason to side with any of the theories. Jesus said it best, as recorded in Matthew 24: 36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[c] but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. he will come like a thief in the night, when we least expect."
When it happens it happens, it will surprise us, and by God's Grace, we will remain true to the faith. |

You are absolutely correct, Paul is talking about standing firm in the faith and enduring the persecution resulting from that. Paul obviously had many physical persecutions in his ministry but he was a man, and without a doubt struggled with spiritual warfare within himself as he so eloquently talks about in Ephesians 6:10-18 "10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." But remember also that Paul's physical persecutions also must have caused spiritual conflict within him as well. |
