Hello Mishael,

Thank you for your reply. Although I believe you may have taken my question a little off. It wasn't why Jesus was baptized in the Jordan. Just as you stated that in Matthew 3:15 Jesus told John it was to "fulfill all righteousness".

It was just in a previous post from RTB, and at least one other, that they state that Jesus Christ was anointed with, or received, the Holy Ghost at His baptism by John. As he made a good point in Luke 1:15 how John the baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost from his mothers womb. As we know how much greater Jesus Christ is than John the baptist. Not taking anything away from how great John the baptist was.

I stated this in a post the other day about Jesus Christ and being filled with the Holy Ghost "Even at age twelve He astonished people who heard Him. He knew God was His Father then Luke 2:47-49. To me showing He did not just receive the Holy Ghost(Spirit of God) at His water baptism in the Jordan. If the sight of the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove was just a sign for John, or for His supernatural powers, only God knows. John 1:32-34."

I hope that cleared up for you that my question was not why He was baptized but about the Holy Ghost being in Him before His water baptism. Which I believe and there is evidence to in the Scriptures.

Thank you very much for your reply Mishael. You always leave lots of helpful information.

God Bless.

Hi Adam, Pilgrim and stranger status remains steady though.

:)

According to him it's in the 49th chap. of Genesis. I do not accept this because his blessing was according to their character. I think he bases it on the fact of the word Judah bases because Judah is referred to as a Lion.

Amen my sister!

There are not 3 persons in the Godhead.

Lord says he is God alone! There is no one with him in the Godhead!

Isaiah

40: 25 - God says he has no equal.

41: 4 - God says he is the first and the last: I am He.

42: 8 - God/Lord says he will not share his glory with another.

43: 10, 11, - The Lord says he is savior alone, there was no God formed before or after him.

44: 6, 8, 24: God says he is first and the last, no God with him, he knows no one with him. He made the heavens and earth alone.

45: 5, 6, 14, 18, 21, 22. - There is no God beside him. There is none else.

46: 5, 9 - No God equal with him, there is none else.

48: 12 - Says I am he, the first and the last.

In conclusion, if there are 3 persons in the Godhead/diety, you will have 3 Gods.

Scripture shows God alone is in the Godhead/deity.

And his name is JESUS, who is the Almighty:

Revelation 1: 8, 11, 17.

Zechariah 14: 9.

1 John 5: 20:

We know him that is true, we are in him that is true, in his son Jesus Christ, the true God!

Hi I read your post, I would like to reason with you on John not living a life of sin,

I believe anyone born again can make that claim, because of we being baptized in Christ, "read Romans 6.

BUT that don't make us sinless, as long as we're in these bodies sin is there,

read Romans 7.

Not until Christ rose from the dead were we given the power over sin, ""Not sinless but nolonger running after sin"".

( Romans 8:11. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.)

John knew himself Jesus baptism was different and he needed it

Matthew 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

Before the Christ was crucified and rose again there was a dwelling of the Holyspirit for God's servants to minister but there wasn't a baptism of the Holyspirit that proceeded after the Lamb slain for the sins of the World. by which we minister and by which we are "Positionally sanctified " ( Forever cleansed from the penalty of sin)

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Romans 3:23-24. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

What we're seeing in the USA and in the rest of the world is a decrease of human rights, a lessening value for human life, a lessening respect for Christianity, and increase in immorality, increase in bullying and group think, increase in lies, deceit, and propaganda pushed from the media, the government, and operatives. US is a banana republic.

It's one thing to treat water, but another to publish fake news to inflate statistics, and to publish fake 'studies' to discredit an inexpensive remedy that is 100% effective for a virus that has been tested safe and used for 60+ years, but to instead push an experimental shot with a 90% negative side effect, that has caused death and then try to force it on everyone. The deaths caused by it have been concealed and mostly unpublished by the media. Whereas the a % of the normal 2.8m-3m deaths in the US have been reallocated to claim that this new virus killed them instead of the normal top culprits: abortion, heart disease, lung cancer (smoking), falling, flu, pneumonia, etc. It's pretty sick and evil levels of deceit by the media, government, and certain political parties. It's as though God is allowing this country to collapse from within, just like happened to Rome or the Mayan civilization.

The US has become Sodom and Gomorrah and God might be letting everyone suffer from their own lies and evil pushed on each other. It's really sad and depressing I have to say. When you love the country in which you live and see it being torn apart by pure evil it's hard to take. It's like watching a slow train wreck- feel powerless to do anything about it. I only can trust that God will have his will done- He will allow whatever He wants to happen to happen. I'm not proud of this country or it's direction and am embarrassed by the lies and stupidity I see from the media. People getting the virus, then still pressured into getting in injection and still wearing double masks. Jeremiah 4:22

More importantly, WHY was the Curtain in the Temple torn from top to bottom? That curtain was so huge, very thick, used to cover.

No human being could have torn it that way.

That was the Son of God, victorious, showing all people's that the Covenant of the Old Testament was finished. Nothing else was left to fulfill.

The sacrifice had been made, the Blood of the Savior.... the LAMB of God, had been sprinkled.

The NEW COVENANT had been RATIFIED, judged acceptable by GOD, and the New Covenant was now, IN FORCE.

A heartbeat that will be until the moment Jesus appears in the clouds, and the end of this time we live in now, is ANNOUNCED, by the Father (GOD).

Mishael

Love your quest to know everything about Jesus; why he did things the way he did them. All these things are recorded in Scripture. This event is a prophesy fulfilled.

Wesley's Notes for Matthew 3:15

3:15 It becometh us to fulfil all righteousness - It becometh every messenger of God to observe all his righteous ordinances. But the particular meaning of our Lord seems to be, that it becometh us to do (me to receive baptism, and you to administer it) in order to fulfil, that is, that I may fully perform every part of the righteous law of God, and the commission he hath given me.

People's Bible Notes for Matthew 3:15

Mt 3:15 Suffer [it to be so] now. The term "now" implies that the relation of Jesus to his work made it proper that now he should be baptized. It is true that baptism was for sinners; Jesus was sinless; but he humbled himself, accepted the burden of human duties, and must set a perfect example to men. He obeyed the Jewish law, and it was needful also that he obey the Divine rite that John had inaugurated. Thus it becometh us. In order to fulfill all righteousness, show forth a perfect obedience, set a perfect example, it became him to submit to the institution of baptism, and it became John to administer it to him. "Us" refers to Jesus and John.

Comment by Mishael:

There are CHARTS online of Every Prophesy, the life of Jesus fulfilled on earth. Put that in Google and find those charts. Save to your Google desktop for easy reference.

The day Jesus died on the Cross for our sins; over 100 prophesies were Fulfilled. Or, marked DONE. The ODDS of that being done by one person exceeds the number of stars in our Universe! :)

This is the Man, prophesied to save us from our sins, and give us eternal life. Trust Him.

Hi Daniel ,thanks for your message ,i think that a mistrust of this world and all things that are of it is a very good attitude and im with you 100 per cent there ,i can only relate my own experience ,this world and everything to do with it will pass away soon we know , may those most awesome days of life love peace truth righteousness justice mercy and rejoicing be upon us all very soon Thy Kingdom Come Lord .

Hi SF ,i believe you are correct ,i dont think any of us can honestly declare that we totally understand every thing in the Bible completely and i dont believe we have to ,obviously there are certain things that we should know and believe if we are to be saved and call ourselves Christians ,as for historical accuracy and events we can only put such interpritations on things up to a certain point as we were not there ! Hundreds of years ago people were reading the same words as we are and they thought they knew what everything was about based on their knowledge at that time . I do believe ,just like thousands of others living hundreds of years ago ,that we are in the end times and im very very excited by this !

Hi Richard in Christ ,thanks so much for your thoughtfull message ,please dont worry about me ,i realise that some times we will agree with each other and some times we will disagree and thats ok ,i also believe that those very special Spirit gifts were given at that time to help the spread of the gospel just as i believe that the only thing we need in this time is that which has been provided for us by God ,His word in our Bibles ,this will bring us to Him , all will be crystal clear to us all when Christ returns ,which cant be soon enough can it ? ! I just wish we could disagree respectfully and without a contentious attitude ,if we could all do this we might learn a lot from each other ,i like to be provoked into thinking about things in a different way ,its how we learn ,may God continue to bless us all and bring us closer to each other and to Him .

Yes, I agree, it's not going to be 'Ha Ha I tricked you and you now have the mark of the beast. BUT.....it can come to the point where they will want everyone to take the vaccine and if enough refuse, and variants kill millions, the ones who refused the vaccine willl be accused. So, it can easily be said, NO food shopping, no going to work, no anywhwere unless you take the vaccine. So I actually disgree, look at the vaccine.

Mark 13 is the events that will take place at the end times and 2 Thessalonians 2, Matthew 24, Luke 21. Also when you read of the appearance of the false messiah standing up in Jerusalem claiming he is God return and has supernatural powers and the world chases after him you might want to read Revelation 12:7,8,9,10 and catch that Satan is kicked to earth to deceive the world. On the first seal in Revelation check crown and bow you'll see they are fake and the bow is toxin, poison so if you hear the Lord is here or we heard the Lord is there don't go because at the 7th Trump when Our Christ returns it will be with fire and hail stones and for those who followed antichrist and didn't read the truth and listen to men they will get what they have coming to them. Revelation tells us that the time was cut to 5 months for the elect sake so when they are delivered up listen to them because it's God speaking through the elect. Store food, pay bills for about 3 months when you see the events of the 6th trump.

I like to have a list of the Children that God Ordain Very young [ Like Jerimiah before birth]

Isaiah 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Ezekiel 33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

( 1 John 3:18-19 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

This Msg has been slightly edited for clarity, and moved to the correct thread.

God sent forward his message in vessels of clay,

The message is revealed by the Spirit of God, ( The Holyspirit )

The clay vessels is the messengers

The message is Jesus Christ, John 1:1.

The Holyspirit reveals his message,

We don't depend on the vessel, we hear the Great Shepherd.

John 10:26-27 (KJV) But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Now listen to the Lord speaking to the Pharisees:

John 8:43. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Do you hear his voice? If so what about Revelation 1:8?

The lord is coming Amen!

Hi Sacha,

As I'm sure you may have seen that Andrew has already rejected me and counted me a heretic. Do not let this man break your faith because you haven't spoken in "tongues". As he also tried to tell me I don't have the Holy Ghost because I don't speak in tongues. Which is false and he will find out one day.

Just as I stated to him It wouldn't surprise me that I was not the first child of God he rejected. Obviously not the last either.

God Bless you.

Hello,

Just one question to your post. As most is accurate. So if John the baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost from the womb how can you, in another post, and others, think Jesus Christ received the Holy Ghost at His water baptism?

Thank you.

Numbers 30:15 "But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity."

how to understand this verse? can a father/husband void a vow at all?

or a father/husband confirmed the vow and daughter/wife failed to keep it, then father/husband shall bear her iniquity?

Satan wants us in the feelings, reasoning, will realm.

But Jesus showed us to stay on the word.

John 6:33

Tells us God's word is spirit and life.

It's not soul and death.

So we don't have to understand it just believe it

Yes it does help but you didnt give your name so i cant thank you personally .

Hi OnlytruthintheworldKJV ,do you not think that it is at all possible that God has allowed us the ways and means of treating illness ? He is always kind and mercifull ,how far can we take this ? I drink water that has been treated by men and chemicals ,if it wasnt for modern medicine i would almostcertainly be dead ,i took the treatment offered to me but i knew that if God wanted me to die i would die no matter what the doctors did ,i prayed every day that God would allow me to live . I belive God has allowed our scientific discoveries as He will use them for His own purposes ,how would all flesh see Christ without the t.v. etc .I have been offered the vaccine but i declined ,ive had the virus twice .

why was the napkin fold

Hi Sacha,

You are welcome. I am sorry that you were ill, but I believe it that it could not have been caused by this 'virus'. I cannot trust this world that is under the rule of Satan, which calls evil good and good evil, furthers evil and hates what is holy. There is also the origin of the word 'pharmacy' coming pharmakon meaning 'magician' or 'sorcerer' in Strong's concordance. A recognisable symbol of medicine is the one where there are either two snakes on a pole with 'wings' or one snake on a pole, which I believe is a blasphemous reference to Jesus based on the brazen serpent Moses made in the wilderness for the Israelites ( Numbers 21:4-9).

God bless you.

God sent forward his message in vessels of clay,

The message is revealed by the Spirit of God, ( The Holyspirit )

The clay vessels is the messengers

The message is Jesus Christ, John 1:1.

The Holyspirit reveals his message,

We don't depend on the vessel, we hear the Great Shepherd.

John 10:26-27 (KJV) But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Now He's speaking to the Pharisees:

John 8:43. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Do you hear his voice? If so what about Revelation 1:8?

pharmakn - pharmakon

dinn - odinon

The 'o's were removed I believe because of they had accents.

Thank you. I will do that and try to live my life as God would want me to do.
