BabaGnoni:I copy this from a web. There are two possible ways to understand the sequence of events that follow, depending on whether one believes the Bethany where Jesus is staying is in the south or the north. If Bethany is in the south, as most scholars believe, then it would take the messengers one day to reach Jesus and one day for Jesus to reach Lazarus. Since Jesus stayed put for two days and Lazarus has been dead for four days when Jesus does arrive, that means Lazarus must have died on the same day as the messengers set out (cf. Barrett 1978:391). If Bethany is a reference to Batanea in the north the timing would be different. It takes four days to travel from Batanea to where Lazarus is. Since Jesus arrives when Lazarus has been dead for four days, Jesus had waited until Lazarus died before he set out. In either case the two- day delay does not cause the death of Lazarus, since Jesus could not have gotten to him before he died, either because he was dead before the messengers arrived with their message (southern view) or because Jesus would only be halfway there (northern view). In either case the two-day delay does, however, insure that Lazarus will have been dead for four days when Jesus arrives. |

malvisguy212: I copy this from a web.^^^ That is exactly the point I wanted realised. On the day Jesus got the message about Lazarus' sickness, Lazarus was already dead, so there was no need for Jesus to head or rush back. This fact means linking the 2 days - two thousand years doesn't add up and holds no water with the picture painted in your original post. Leave this part off and it makes it a bit more credible or believable. Here is the breakdown: Day 1: Mary & Sister sends out message to Jesus Day 1: Messenger leaves to deliver message to Jesus. It will take messenger a day to reach Jesus. Day 1: Lazarus unbeknown to messenger has died Day 2: Messenger delivers message to Jesus that Lazarus is sick Day 2: Jesus received but knows already that Lazarus is dead. Day 2: Jesus waits 2 days before heading to Lazarus' place. In the 2 days waitingi, it will take a day to get to Lazarus' place Day 4: on getting at Lazarus' place, it is confirmed Lazarus was dead four days ago. So the 2 days waiting has no relevance or any place to be related in the picture your post and Mr Clayton G's was painting You guys are drawing line on dots made up which aren't related to the picture you were painting. |

BabaGnoni:ok, I understand your point now,here is the fact:jesus had a good relationship with the family because the news say"lazarus whom you loved is sick"this mean he has a good relationship with the family,isn't it obvious that you know that someone you love so much has died , but you still waited for two days before goin?what dos dis mean? It mean, even if isreal were in tears, God will still Wait for two days[or two thousand years] before he reach out to them, God will not change his revelation. Jesus knows that lazarus his dead before the messenger arrive,that mean jesus suppose to know that he will raise him from dead, the question is why did he wait for two days to raise someone he love so much? Strange isn't it? Yeah, HE KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING.thank you. Are you a christian? |

It mean, even if isreal were in tears, God will still Wait for two days[or two thousand years] before he reach out to them, God will not change his revelation. malvisguy212: This is the point and the answer to the above is in the below verses: 9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. 10It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.” - John 11:9-10 NIV Jesus did not want to travel at night (i.e. that was the cause of the delay, nothing about trying to say something at all and besides Lazarus was already sleeping and He knows He can and will wake him up) |

malvisguy212: Jesus left on the third day (i.e. the following day the messenger delivered the message) and got there the next day (i.e. on the fourth day) - It takes a day to make the journey malvisguy212 You and that endtimeharvest website are putting apples and oranges together with that John 11:6 verse It is not related and has no relevance to the picture you both are painting No doubt, we are in the end times but bringing John 11:6 into it kinks or skews the picture a bit |

Re: Does God Speak To You? How? by BabaGnoni: 12:58pm On Aug 13, 2014 |
malvisguy212:I know you do bro, just leave John 11:6 out of the picture next time - the third day traveling and the fourth day arriving is how the two days waiting came up Shalom. |

Tgirl4real: Good morning everyone. God does not speak to those who believe his holy commandment (law) is bondage. That is blasphemy. Moreover, you women in churches that stand up and ask God to speak to you directly, are you sure you want to hear the great and terrible voice of the Most High. Read what happened in Exodus when the Israelites heard the roar of His voice. lol. Believe me, better carry your bible and hear the promises written for you therein. |

Tgirl4real: Tgirl4real: Isaiah 64 and 1st Corinthians 2 tells us eyes have not seen, neither has ears heard... We are all instruments to be used in God's vineyard... The same Bible chapter that talks about diversities of gift and operations and differences of administration of spiritual gifts such as "some appointed to teach, be Apostles, be Prophets, etc, also talks about us all being one body in Christ, with all part relevant. God's decision to make me a vessel and bestow His abundant honour on me by talking to me is all about Christ and His crucification and the demonstration of God's love... |

ayobase: Mintayo: You guys might not know it yet, but you have the same great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore, as King Solomon. I pray the eyes of your heart that has been enlightened may never be shut again in Jesus' name. Thanks for the insight on negotiation...I can now confidently go back to God cos there is a lot of people's life/salvation riding on this. Thanks once again. (((hugs))) 1 Like |

nannymcphee: 1st Corinthian 12 expounds on all these gifts and how we are all members of the body of Christ and how God decides what gift to give and lastly, how anyone as well can "also covet" these gifts... It is all about the Gospel of Christ, so God can use us anyhow He deems fit and we can also ask for these gifts |
