_________________________________________________
What is the number one reason many Christians can’t have eternal life?
Well, in this video, I’m going to show you what Jesus says is one of the biggest, if not the biggest reason people cannot experience heaven…something that almost prevents his own DISCIPLES from entering.
You’ll also see a question posed to Jesus that almost gets him killed…
And a moment where a blind man actually sees better than Jesus’ own disciples!
All of this and more as we dive into chapter 10 of Mark’s gospel in this episode of Beyond the Words.

History repeats itself. Just like King David & Bethsheba. I am a Single Mom, I used to date a lot but, since I met Jesus, I don't feel the urge of meeting anyone.. Jesus completes me. I feel secure, satisfied, peace, happy & love. I know it's weird.. I can't imagine it's possible! But in Jesus all things are possible. Thank you Jesus for everything!! Glory to God!

I moved to another state 30 yrs ago. More affordable after my x & I separated for the 4-5th x. In any case I was a single parent of twin girls. Ended the one & only relationship I began w a coworker. Decided to live by the Word! Jesus is a husband to the window. There was never a Godly man who crossed our lives. To this day I am still married to Jesus. 30 yrs later. I stopped seeking a partner. Did not want men coming in & out of our lives. Didn't purposely stay single, just did not meet the rt man when I wanted one. I have been whole & complete in Jesus all these yrs. And never fight! Lol As Paul said, I have Learned to be Content.

I finally figured out how to be a faithful disciple , it took me until the age of 64, I believe that childhood abuse is a major factor in growing as a person and being obedient to the Lords voice. if you tell a child 1000 times they never listen the won't . also sexual abuse as a child and wrong marriages are also a big factor. the Lord has kept me holy and pure and off drugs , alcohol, tobacco, and ungodly media. for going on 6 years. understanding the circumcision made without hands and many other truths and diligent and faithful effort has given me with Gods help and power a freedom from temptation that bring wonderful peace and the comfort of the Holy Ghost.pray without ceasing , speaking as the oracles of God and a faithful pray life, and hearing the Lords voice; all important. having the closest possible walk with Jesus and realizing it costs everything to walk with him. many are called few chosen. seek him with all your heart until he speaks to you, wait quietly for him at the same time everyday until he speaks to you. he sees you there waiting on him and he will show up.blessing and love to all Gods children, and peace be upon you in the name power and person of our Lord Jesus Christ

[@kathleennorton6108]

Jesus didn't think the disciples wrong and proudful for wanting to be great in The Kingdom of God, He just showed them that true greatness was much different than what they thought it was. True greatness is diametrically opposed to what the world thinks it is. True greatness is having a great and loving heart, expressed in wonderful, sincere deeds. Yes, true greatness is found in being humble.

Geno Canabicea another perspective on the eye of needle ,camel could be wrong translation . Greek word κάμηλος meaning [ camel ], VS Greek word κάμιλος meaning [rope]. ROPE would seem to correlate better than camel . With rope you could unravel the strands/chords/threads of the rope to a few threads to enter the eye of the needle. REF: Aramaic to English translation . look up on KZbin per camel eye of needle

Weird I woke up dreaming about that passage

[@nickw3463]

I don't recall hearing anything about believing/trusting in the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Which is the most crucial step to dealing with sin in our lives. This salvation is a free gift for all who call upon him. It's important and spiritually healthy put aside sin but we aren't doing it to earn or maintain salvation. We do it out of love of the Lord and gratitude towards Him saving us.

[@DA-yd2ny]

Exactly. People stop at Romans 10:9 and leave Rom 10:10 out when explaining how to receive eternal life. Rom !0:10 is crucial for a correct understanding of the Gospel. "For with the heart one BELIEVES unto RIGHTEOUSNESS (eternal life 2Cor5:21) and with the mouth CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION (deliverance from sin in this life) Eternal life is a GIFT. If we had to repent from sin in order to receive it, it would become a REWARD because we had to CONTRIBUTE TO IT.

[@pabuffa]

[@russelljohnson6243]

Sir, please don't let this man convince you that Christians can ever be kept out of heaven. If you believe in your heart that Jesus died for your sins, was raised from the dead by our heavenly father and are willing to confess these facts before the world, you are saved, period. Blaspheming the Holy Ghost is the only way to spit your salvation back into Jesus's face. If you want a bunch of scriptures to establish your walk with the Lord, just reply to me and I will give them to you.

Romans 10:9 = Eternal life ++++

[@SuperSushidog]

@@NRIH144 Can you reconcile Romans 10:9 with James 2:19? There's a difference between believing in Jesus and choosing to follow Him. Because the demons, bound for hell, also believe that Jesus is the Son of God. But they do not love Jesus, nor have they chosen to follow him or keep his commandments. You see, it is not enough to believe that Jesus is Lord, and believe that God raised him from the dead. You must love Him, believe He died for your sins, and be happily willing, even excited to change your life to comply with God's will (follow Jesus's commands). See John 14:15-24 This is what it means to be reborn. And what is the greatest command that we must desire to obey? If we have no love for one another, what is the evidence we are saved? "But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works." James 2:18 What are these "works" James speaks about? Merely acts of love, one to another. Yes, even those we esteem to be our enemies. This is our yoke and burden, but it is indeed light. We just see it as a burden in our sinful minds. In reality, it is the opportunity to do good. So, if you want to know if you are saved, ask yourself the question, "Do I love God with all my mind, all my heart and all my strength?" Mark 12:30-31

This reminds me of a neighbor who many either felt pity for or gossiped about thinking she must have squandered her family's inherience and her income because she had very little compared to others in the area. She was so loving and giving to us children and she really had what she needed. She spent a lot of time helping at church and she typing/ transcribing for extra money. She always believed God would provide and the treasures we get will be given in heaven not here on earth. When she died in her 90s people thought she would end up in the county cemetary with no one. However to the surprise of so many her and her husband many years ago had set in motion a scholarship fund that only the school involved, her church and the couple knew of so not to draw attention. Of course after her death they were not going to keep it quiet but use it to show example.

[@scambammer6102]

how come gawd needed to kill someone in order to forgive? sounds like a primitive blood thirsty sort of deity..

[@shannonnichols3415]

@@scambammer6102-if you are asking about God, He didn’t have to kill anyone. -if you are asking why Jesus died on the Cross it’s because according to the Old Law (Old Testament, Law of Moses) people had to present a blood sacrifice (usually ram or sheep or lamb) on an altar (for various reasons as I’m sure you have read from history-not only Biblical. Many pagan cultures sacrificed their own babies to their pagan idols! An idol is certainly not a deity, but that’s what they did anyway). When Jesus laid down His life on the cross for our forgiveness, He became the ultimate sacrifice & was called the “Lamb of God” so that people no longer had to search to find the right animal & build an altar. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice and made forgiveness available to “whosoever will”. He didn’t have to do it. But he chose to go through all the suffering and pain for each of us. Had it only been you or me, He would have still done it because He loves us so much and knows us so well He even knows the number of hair we each have on our head! He still would have done it for people who deny Him and mock Him. He loves us and wants us to come to Him. We are all given a free will to do what we want because God doesn’t force Himself on us. It’s a choice. We have to choose to believe Jesus died on the cross to forgive our sins but we must ask for forgiveness and ask Him into our hearts. Hope this helped to answer your question. I’m not a Bible scholar, I’m a saved by Grace, Believer and I try to help if someone has a question. I pray the Lord guide my every word so that it’s not mine, but His, in Jesus name Amen 🙏 Many blessings

[@Leonnie13]

@@scambammer6102It is due to the nature of our sin. Our sin doesn’t end with the time that we lied or were angry or jealous or stole one little thing. It reverberates and causes others to misstep. Think about sexual sin and how that breaks families, hurts the mental and emotional state of the people involved, and their children. It causes people to murder… or to retaliate in future relationships. Our sin separates us from a righteous and good God. To reconcile us to God, the most perfect being, the son of God, Jesus Christ was sacrificed and raised again on the third day. Those who believe in him and repent of their sins receive the Holy Spirit, who helps us to continue to fight our sinful nature. Not all who call themselves Christian are saved. We need to accept the Holy Spirit. You know you are saved when you start to understand how bad sin is… how destructive it is to you and others affected by it. The realization is… life changing.

Do we take the warnings of the Gospel, the New Testament, seriously? The Savior warned us: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). The apostle Peter gave this testimony: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). However, we have many names for Christ: Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, Yeshua, Isa, and not to mention the pronunciation “Hey-zeus.” So is the name based on God’s revelation or on the linguistics of mankind? Therefore, which one is the revealed name from Heaven? Halleluyah is universally known throughout the world, and yet few seem to know what it actually means. Hallelu, means Praise, and YAH is the name which is above every name, and this name means “I AM.” Halleluyah means “Praise YAH.” YAH means “I AM” in Hebrew. YAH is found in Strong’s Dictionary of Bible Words # 3050. Where did the name YAH originally come from? Moses asked God for His name: “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, (“HAYAH ASHAR HAYAH) “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM {YAH} has sent me to you.’ Moreover God said to Moses, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations’” (Exodus 3:13-15). Praise YAH, Halleluyah! According to the prophets “YAH” is the only name of salvation for us: “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV), and Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name Yah, and rejoice before Him” (Psalm 68:4 NKJV). “I, even I, am the Lord {YAH}, and besides Me there is no savior” (Isaiah 43:11). Christ tells us that He is YAH, when He said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM {YAH}” (John 8:58). Christ is I AM, that is YAH. Therefore the angel came to Joseph and said, “And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name YAHSHUA, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Joseph was given a command to name Him YAHSHUA! The apostle Paul on the road to Damascus, to persecute Christians, was confronted by a bright light, and the Savior told him in Hebrew, “I am YAHSHUA...” (Acts 26:13-15). The apostle Paul heard the name which is above every name {YAH}, for he writes, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of YAHSHUA every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Messiah is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11) All languages are to know this one revealed name “YAHSHUA” from the LORD. What happens if one rejects the revealed name YAHSHUA, the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved? Answer: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18). The name Jesus has only existed in its present form since the 17th century. Reject the revealed name YAHSHUA, the one name by which we must be saved, and stand before the Judgment Throne condemned according to the Gospel, the New Testament. In YAHSHUA’S Name, Amen. Many Christian religious leaders are not representing the New Testament in Spirit and Truth. They are not teaching the truth about the Savior’s true name YAHSHUA. Christ said in Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” We must follow the revelation of the LORD! Another warning to the religious leaders: “And now, O priests, this commandment is for you. If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name,” Says the Lord of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart” (Malachi 2:1-2). There is only one name given under heaven by which we must be saved, behold the name of salvation, YAHSHUA! Halleluyah, Praise YAH, Praise YAHSHUA! Take it to heart!

[@raysawyer5681]

I have been studying the Bible for many years. I question several things like this message. When The Jailer asked Paul what must I do to be saved. He said; Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. What puzzles me is, is Salvation of works and faith or by faith alone?. Paul also said; Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. By world standards I must be rich. I pay my bills like everyone else. I have plenty to eat for the present and a roof over my head. Yet all that I have has been graciously given to me by God. What I have I give when the Lord directs me to do so. All that I have belongs to God and when I give it away. He gives it back to me so generously, multiplying it several times over. I believe what my Lord wants from us is our worship of Him instead of out selves. Guarding against the things of this world. He want our focus on Him not the things of the world.

We really do not need all the comforts this world has to offer, because if we have a home, food, heat, water, clothes with them been our necessary comforts we really are blessed, also if we have breath in our lungs, a body to live in then we must be thankful with walking with Jesus every single day. I am so so thankful for my simple life now that l would not change anything and that is only because Jesus has shown me His way and it is good. Shalom Shalom to you this day Amen

@Tom McArdle I understand what you say it's not about works Yet because of knowing Him we will do good works In the book of James It says l will show you my faith by my good works There will be a transformation in one's life, when we know Jesus and when we are known by Him It's just they way it is... Faith alone, without works, is dead. Shalom Shalom

[@johnnyanglo6709]

Salvation is by works, but not our works, the work done to save is the work of God. Those that believe do so because God acted upon those ordained by the Father for eternal life. God works the work of salvation, man is the object, but the sinner is not a partner with God in any respect. Salvation is totally God's doing. Belief, trust, faith, a changed heart, obedience, sorrow for sin, desire to not sin . . . all the works of God. Eph 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them." In other words, the unbeliever is chosen by the Father to obtain eternal life based on the choice of the Father alone, before the world existed. In time, Christ died for those same individuals as their substitute, and the Holy Spirit regenerates these to spiritual life making the operation of faith or belief in God a reality by a new living spirit. A spirit empowered by the Holy Spirit will believe and receive the Truth such that faith in Christ grows and the person is transformed, over time, into the likeness of Christ (possessing more and more the mind of Christ as imitators of Christ). So, how do we know we are saved from the wrath of God? Well, do you have a living spirit that trusts God, is faithful to His commands, and believes His promises? If so, then you are giving evidence that you are God's workmanship. If rather you trust in something you said, prayed, or did, or think your choice to believe or accept Jesus has any part in your salvation, or because you formed some supposed magic phrase that made God dance to your tune to save you, then your spirit is dead and your heart is filled with pride instead of the humility that comes with God's genuine salvation. Something worth thinking about.

Hi. As a follower of Christ, make sure that you are touching bases with the promises of God. For example, referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me will have fountain of living water bubbling up to eternal life." Conversely, if a person does not have the river of life, neither do they believe in (i.e. know) Christ. I hope this does not alarm you, as it is an easy fix. Jesus said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him (Luke 11.13)." I simply say, "Thank you Jesus for filling me with the Holy Spirit!" Ask and you shall receive. Yet, never doubt the promises of God, lest you miss out, lest you insult the Holy Spirit by doubting His promises. In the same way, you can pray through Ephesians 2.6 and Romans 8.16. I hope this will greatly bless you in your walk with God! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

It is all about Agape. You can't relate to God, and God can't relate to you, unless you have repented of sin-Agape. Sin means "without" in Spanish, a *Roman*ce language. Without Agape. "The Law" is Agape. Transgression of the law, sin-Agape, is to miss the mark of Agape! *Repent* is the first requirement. John the Baptist made this clear... Jesus confirmed it... Paul followed Jesus' example. Repent towards Agape! God, the true one, not imaginary ones, is the perfect manifestation of Agape. Salvation is a perpetual state of Agape... not a location (like Heaven, for example). But this requires personal responsibility and accountability. Really, our selfish heart of stone needs to be replaced with a heart of flesh... One that cares from a pure place.

What had previously seen hard to understand or hard to follow simply falls into place with help of the Holy Spirit.

As someone who has recently been drawn to Jesus and His Word, not through any conscious or deliberate reason, but rather through feelings within myself, searching for what I feel I'm missing and need, to fill an emptiness within me. Your video here has opened gates I believe I must go through, having faith that I might find pieces that I am missing and needing. I've never been a person of strong faith, and as an adult on leave from military service, I would sometimes attend church with my Mother to make her happy, though looking at my watch every few mins., wondering, "How much longer?". Ironically, over the past couple years, and especially in the past few months, I've been drawn to learning about, and building a relationship with Jesus. I tear up when I listen to people such as yourself speak of what the Bible teaches us, is this guilt or something else? I recently purchased a study Bible for myself, first Bible I've ever bought, though I have many I've collected over the years. I read it almost every day and I'm learning how to read it effectively, rather than just a rote effort. Yours and others explanations are becoming very important to me in understanding what it is that I need to understand, in order to fill what I am missing. My Mother is in Heaven, and I hope to see her again one day. But, I know and truly look forward to putting in the work to correct my heart and spirit in order to enter Heaven. Today, you helped my understand that the Kingdom of God isn't a place but rather my lifestyle and relationship with Jesus here on earth. Thank you.

Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die. That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A.

@@BonnieBlue2A woah to Blue Bonnie... If we look at the creation account and see God resting on the seventh day, we see “God’s abiding condition” as mentioned above. If we believe that all Scripture speaks to the reality of Christ, then certainly we should see the greater spiritual reality undergirding the physical institution of the Sabbath, that indeed an eternal rest would come. John Reisinger is extremely insightful when he writes that “[t]he Sabbath constantly reminded Israel of the rest that Adam lost in the Garden of Eden because of his sin…the Sabbath was a weekly, constant visible reminder of the wages of sin…The Sabbath preached the gospel as clearly as any ceremony in the whole Old Testament! The Sabbath was a clear picture of Christ and the rest that he would give” . Furthermore, Christ himself often spoke of his “work”, which was the work His Father gave him to do. The Apostle John frequently quotes Jesus as “working”, doing the work of his Father, and finishing His work (John 4:34; 5:36; 5:17; 17:4; 9:4). What was this work? It is the work of redemption, the work of earning salvation for his people, the work of doing what we could never do! He took the punishment and wrath of God upon himself that was deserved by us. He died in our stead on the cross! “The work which issues into the rest can now no longer be man’s own work. It becomes the work of Christ” . And what happened when Christ accomplished this work? He rested! “So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God” (Mark 16:9; cf. Heb 4:14; 8:1; 10:12; 12:2; Psalm 110:1; Acts 2:33; 7:56; Romans 8:34; Eph 1:20-22; Col 3:1; 1 Pet 3:22; Rev 3:21). The abiding state of God, His rest, which Adam forfeited through his transgression, Christ secured forever for his people! It is no wonder then, that a passage like Matthew 11:28-30 is so sweet in the ears of a believing sinner, when Jesus says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “The Sabbath then not only looks back to God’s rest after he completed his work of creation (Gen 2:2-3), but also looks forward to the final peace given through Jesus Christ” . While we would certainly affirm that there is wisdom in taking rest from our physical labors, and while it is always beneficial and glorifying to God to reflect on His goodness and mercy, we would suggest that the Sabbath principle is larger and grander than any one day can hold! Even if we acknowledge that there were shadows of the Sabbath ordinance in God’s creation, “It must be remembered that the Sabbath, through a world-aged observance, has passed through the various phases of the development of redemption, remaining the same in its essence but modified as to its form, as the new state of affairs at each point might require” . And we would boldly proclaim here that at this stage of redemption, Christ himself is the believer’s Sabbath rest, both now and into eternity! Christ has gained for us more than was lost in Eden . Christ himself is the substance of the reality that the Sabbath only foreshadows! May we joyfully sing with William Gadsby: “The Sabbath was a day of rest; The day the Lord Jehovah blest; A lively type of Christ; The labouring poor may venture here; The guilty banish all their fear, And lean on Jesus’ breast. When foes without, and foes within, Wrath, law, and Satan, guilt and sin, The child of God molest; Fatigued with sin, distressed with fear, He enters into Christ, and there He finds a settled rest.” John5:17

The way I see it is, for the most part, rich people work hard, you don’t become rich by being slothful. Rich people tend to trust in themselves due to their wealth. Everlasting life is a free gift that is simply received by trusting in Jesus alone. You add any work at all to the free gift of everlasting life via “repenting of sins” “good works” “obedience” etc. and you are no longer trusting in Jesus alone but in yourself. You add 1 penny to a free gift and it’s no longer free. You add 1 work to the free gift of everlasting life and it’s no longer a free gift but a reward you’ll never earn. “Free” and receiving something without working for it, or paying for it, is a foreign concept to humans, much more to the rich. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

The curtain (symbolic of flesh) was torn in the holy of holies in the temple where the common man was not allowed except the priests. Gods acceptable sin offering was done once by him for us.

@@steveklemetti8035 Enoch did not die. Elijah did not die. A whole generation of upcoming believers will not die. A day comes, humans no longer die when the curse is removed. There are two deaths: one bodily, one spiritually. SAVED means the curse of the second death is removed, not the first death. Thus, SALVATION covers the spiritual curse, removing that curse, bringing the new birth and God's spiritual healing to us, through the Spirit. Cheers. Romans 5.9, Romans in general, read at your leisure. Jesus is the I AM of the Bible, the "Child" Who delivers us from death.

[@steveklemetti8035]

@@rlu1956 Of course Enoch and Elijah died. They are not alive today so they must have died. Don't let the language and writing of the Bible confuse you. Enoch and Elijah were born in sinners, they were sinners and the wages of sin is death. It's saying "God took him" still means he died. The curse won't be ended until Revelation 21 and the fountains of waters of life are poured out. Spiritual death is just more language. The second death is not a curse. The first death is as that is inherited sin, the curse. The second death is deserved. The one who conquers will by no means be harmed by the second death. "Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and they will rule as kings with him for the 1,000 years." 144,000 faithful will be in the first resurrection to rule with Jesus, then the rest of the faithful and unfaithful will be saved with life on earth.

@@steveklemetti8035 Where is Jesus if you believe in the Resurrection? Enoch was translated as was Elijah. Tens of millions will experience the same thing, I Corinthians 15.51-3. The coming of Christ for His own (John 14.1-3) will see a significant group translated. Speaking of Revelation, pay attention to Revelation 1.1 and the term "signified". It means the "use of signs". John used SIGNS from the Old Testament to characterize what he literally was seeing. Revelation 1.19 is the outline of the book, Revelation 1.1 is the "key". Get Jesus RIGHT, theologically, and the other things fall into place. Jesus is the promised "Child" from Genesis 3.14-16, the Christ (John 4.25-6). He is the I AM of the Bible (Exodus 3.13-15, John 8.58). Prophecy is a secondary topic, not meant to divide, but to give hope, Titus 2.11-13.

[@ceedee873]

​@@steveklemetti8035It actually implies that Elijah's physical body is in heaven, so you're kinda wrong about that one, and spiritual death is not just "more language" it implies so in Romans 8:6 as well, "For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life" So how is that not life/death in the spiritual sense? It literally says it right there.

Do we take the warnings of the Gospel, the New Testament, seriously? The Savior warned us: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). The apostle Peter gave this testimony: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). However, we have many names for Christ: Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, Yeshua, Isa, and not to mention the pronunciation “Hey-zeus.” So is the name based on God’s revelation or on the linguistics of mankind? Therefore, which one is the revealed name from Heaven? Halleluyah is universally known throughout the world, and yet few seem to know what it actually means. Hallelu, means Praise, and YAH is the name which is above every name, and this name means “I AM.” Halleluyah means “Praise YAH.” YAH means “I AM” in Hebrew. YAH is found in Strong’s Dictionary of Bible Words # 3050. Where did the name YAH originally come from? Moses asked God for His name: “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, (“HAYAH ASHAR HAYAH) “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM {YAH} has sent me to you.’ Moreover God said to Moses, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations’” (Exodus 3:13-15). Praise YAH, Halleluyah! According to the prophets “YAH” is the only name of salvation for us: “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV), and Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name Yah, and rejoice before Him” (Psalm 68:4 NKJV). “I, even I, am the Lord {YAH}, and besides Me there is no savior” (Isaiah 43:11). Christ tells us that He is YAH, when He said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM {YAH}” (John 8:58). Christ is I AM, that is YAH. Therefore the angel came to Joseph and said, “And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name YAHSHUA, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Joseph was given a command to name Him YAHSHUA! The apostle Paul on the road to Damascus, to persecute Christians, was confronted by a bright light, and the Savior told him in Hebrew, “I am YAHSHUA...” (Acts 26:13-15). The apostle Paul heard the name which is above every name {YAH}, for he writes, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of YAHSHUA every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Messiah is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11) All languages are to know this one revealed name “YAHSHUA” from the LORD. What happens if one rejects the revealed name YAHSHUA, the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved? Answer: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18). The name Jesus has only existed in its present form since the 17th century. Reject the revealed name YAHSHUA, the one name by which we must be saved, and stand before the Judgment Throne condemned according to the Gospel, the New Testament. In YAHSHUA’S Name, Amen. Many Christian religious leaders are not representing the New Testament in Spirit and Truth. They are not teaching the truth about the Savior’s true name YAHSHUA. Christ said in Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” We must follow the revelation of the LORD! Another warning to the religious leaders: “And now, O priests, this commandment is for you. If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name,” Says the Lord of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart” (Malachi 2:1-2). There is only one name given under heaven by which we must be saved, behold the name of salvation, YAHSHUA! Halleluyah, Praise YAH, Praise YAHSHUA! Take it to heart!

[@jeffszmiett2600]

All people who have asked God to forgive their sins and are christians then they will have eternal life. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life. Not by works of righteousness which we have done but by His mercy He saved us.

"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." (Phil. 4:12) Might also be good to know what this "eternal life" is. (John 17:3) I tried the "surrender" route for decades. Becoming a nebulous question of what and how much, it was chasing after the wind when I also had a family to support. "Sell all you have... and follow me," might work for the monastic life, but not for most of us. But Jesus knew he was pushing the argument with that certain rich man. Just as God knew the same when he told his close friend to take his most valued possession to the top of a mountain as a sacrifice. There's much more going on here.

Brandon, this spoke to me in a very real way. Definitely a message from God through you. I"m 65 years old, been a long time serial recidivist,, and have read Mark a good number of times and heard preaching on it many times. But I never got what you've given me. Thank God, and thank you. Here's a thought from me: the reason Christ Jesus favors children so much is that when a child is born, the last person they've been with before being born is God. Though being born under the power of sin by being a son of Adam, they still have a quality about them that comes from having been in the presence of God. That gets ruined as they begin to become adults. Some become adults faster and sooner that others. The World teaches them things that move them farther and farther away from the presence of God. Only Christ the Eternal Word can bring them back. And after they are brought back, they have a world of unlearning to do.

The eye of the needle was a known small passageway in a wall for people to pass through. But it was only large enough for a grown man or woman to pass through. A camel, being much larger than a human, would have severe trouble getting through it even with help of humans. It was naturally thought to be impossible. While still excruciatingly hard, it is more possible than an actual needle's eye. Just wanted that to be put on here for additional understanding.
