Ayomivic: Hi,
Please, how can i add color or make my post bold?
Hello Ay,

After you have finished typing your message. Look at the top extreme left of the typing area, you will the sign "B" (it's to bold your selected/highlighted words), Next after "B" is "I" (to italicize your highlighted or selected words), ..... at the extreme right, which is the with a drop box, you see "Change Color" in a rectangle box. After you select or highlight your words, you can click on "change color" to apply your color of choice. These are all text formatting tools to change your text or font face.

Sure this helps.

Christianity EtcRe: The CallED, The SanctifiED And The PreservED - An Exposition On Jude Verse One. by Goshen360(op):
We continue our exposition to Jude verse one with the second question, which Jude wrote this epistle since we have several Jude or Judas (as expanded earlier) in the NT.

Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, [and] called: (KJV).

Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ: (NKJV).

This “Jude” identified himself as “the servant or bondservant” of Jesus Christ AND “brother of James”. There are several “Jude” in the bible especially the New Testament and there are also several “James” in the bible especially, in the New Testament. Which “Jude” wrote this epistle and which “James” was he (Jude) talking about or referring to as “his brother”? We are going to delve into the different “Jude” and the different “James”

The first clue we have available is that this Jude, the writer of this epistle made it clear by distinguishing himself “FROM” the Apostles of Jesus and that he is NOT part of or one of the Apostles in verse 17-18. This statement ruled out the fact that this epistle was written by Judas, one of the Apostles of Jesus.

But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. NKJV

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. KJV


There are Eight ( 8 ) Individuals or persons named Jude (English), Judas (Greek), Judah (Hebrew) in the bible:

1. Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and head of the tribe of Judah. (Matt 1:2-3; Luke 3:33). He/his name is also used metonymically for the tribe and posterity of Judah (Matt 2:6; Heb 7:14; Rev 5:5; 7:5) and House of Judah which means “kingdom or tribe” of Judah in Heb 8:8

2. Judas or Judah, two of the ancestors of Jesus in Luke 3:26,30; Matt 1:2

3. The eleventh of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. (Luke 6:16, Acts 1:13). He is called loudas lakobou which the KJV translated “Judas the brother of James” while NKJV, NASB and NIV translated as “the son of James”. In Luke 6:15-16 and Acts 1:13, it should be “son of James”. The same Apostle in other verse IS NOT called “son of James” but his alternate name of Lebbaeus (Matt 10:3) and Thaddaeus (Mark 3:18). He was also distinguished from his notorious namesake as “Judas…not Iscariot” (John 14:22). All we know about Judas Lebbaeus or Thaddaeus is the question he asked in John 14:22.

4. Judas the brother of James and of the Lord Jesus Christ. Matt 13:55 and Mark 6:3. James, Joseph, Simon and Judas are named conjointly with the mother of Jesus as brothers of Jesus. In Jude 1:1, the author identified himself as Jude (Judas) “the brother of James”. The confusion is in KJV where it was mistranslated in Luke 6:16 and Acts 1:13 as brother of James instead of son of James, This how to distinguish from Judas the Apostle in (3) above and this Jude or Judas, the brother of James in (4) here, the half brother of Jesus Christ. He who is a brother cannot also be a son. In Matt 13:55 it is clearly stated that the two brothers, Judas and James were also brothers of Jesus. If the writer of the epistle of Jude told us in verse 17-18 that he is not part of the Apostles and did not claim Apostleship in verse 1 but rather identified himself as the brother of James, the only option left for us is Judas, the brother of Jesus and James as it makes sense to conclude that the writer who is the brother of James and the half brother of Jesus Christ. Before resurrection, he did not acknowledged his brother Jesus as the Messiah (John 7:3) but after resurrection he was found in upper room (Acts 1:14). Judas also misunderstood the popularity of Jesus (Matt 12:46). In his estimation, Jesus was a foolish enthusiast (Mark 3:21). However, one may wonder that if he is the brother of James and half brother of Jesus, then why would he identify himself as the “servant” (in the KJV) or “bondservant” of Jesus Christ (in the NKJV)? The answer lies in our definition of “servant or bondservant”.

5. Judas surnamed Iscariot, meaning man of Kerioth, an Apostle and the traitor who betrayed the Lord Jesus. He is often listed as last in the list of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. John 12:6; Matt 10:4, 26:14; Mark 3:19; Luke 22:3, 47; John 6:71; Acts 1:16, 25.

6. Judas surnamed Barsabbas, a Christian teacher sent from Jerusalem to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. (Acts 15:22, 27, 32)

7. Judas, a Jew living in Damascus with whom Paul lodged at his conversion. Acts 9:7-12

8. Judas, surnamed the Galilean, so-called also by Josephus in company with one Sadoc or Saddacus, he attempted to raise sedition among the Jews but was destroyed by Cyrenius, then proconsul of Syria and Judea. Acts 5:37.

Therefore, we come to a conclusion that Jude (Judas), the writer of this epistle is the half brother of Jesus Christ and brother of James, not the Apostle Judas son of James as seen from the above exposition. The writer gave us the clue by himself (1) Not claiming Apostleship in verse 1. (2) Called himself brother of James (3) Distinguished himself NOT part of the Apostles of Jesus in verse 17-18. This leaves us with the only option of Judas (Jude), the brother of James and half brother of Jesus Christ.

We continue from the OP and still expanding on verse one of the book of Jude. First, we looked at the meaning of Jude and now, we will expand which Jude wrote this epistle as there are several Jude in the New Testament. So we may want to ask, which Jude wrote this epistle?

Again, if this writer is half brother of Jesus Christ, why would he call himself "a bondservant or the servant of Jesus Christ" and not just call himself "the brother of Jesus Christ and brother of James"? This will lead us to the next post and it will be answered therein.

Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ: Nkjv

Well, are you really sure you understand that Heb 7?

Do you understand what the writer of Hebrews was doing and teaching in those verses?

Do you understand what the writer buried in those verses?

I don't mind sharing with you verse by verse. If you come to the logical conclusion that Levi paid tithe "IN" Abraham to the one who lives (Melchizedek), What happens to verse 12 when the priesthood of levi tithe "PAID TITHE IN ABRAHAM" changed? What happens to the annulment in verse 18? If you are saying because Levi PIAD tithe IN Abraham to Melchizedek, (which Levi did NOT literally or physically paid tithe to Melchizedek), then it will mean that when Levi tithing was changed and disannulled, then Abraham tithe is ALSO changed and disannulled. And Changed means removal according to the same writer of Hebrews

Okay but am not sharing all the verses yet but I can still answer your question after am done with the exposition of verse one. My sister, verse one alone took me one week (not full day for each though) plus my other daily activities. Just stay with me till I finish expanding on this verse one and you will appreciate the indepth teaching. It will also take me 4-5 days to post only verse one in other to avoid to lengthy stuff. This will also allow readers to follow easily. I hope you question is answered ma?

Well, it doesn't have an objective. If you read from the article; am ONLY sharing a part of the whole, that is verse one. I have instruction from the Holy Spirit to do commentary on each books of the bible. It will take years but as much as the Holy Spirit instruct me, I will share whatever the Spirit wants me to share with God's people. Okay. I am only sharing verse one as part of the whole for now.Okay. I don't know if this answers your question.

Christianity EtcThe CallED, The SanctifiED And The PreservED - An Exposition On Jude Verse One. by Goshen360(op):
[size=15pt]Jude[/size], a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:

The writer of this letter/epistle/correspondence identified himself as Jude.

First, what is the meaning of Jude?
Second, who is this “Jude” that wrote the "Epistle of Jude" since we have several Jude in the bible?

Today, I present to you the Gospel of Power and the Power of Gospel from my exposition on the book/epistle of Jude (1-25). This is just the verse one from my exposition on the whole book. I have extracted verse one from the entire study/exposition and titled - The Called, The Sanctified and The Preserved.

Jude, from the Strong’s Exhaustive concordance # G2455, loudas is from the Hebrew origin (# H3063 – i.e Jehudah or Judah) which means celebrated, confessor of Jehovah and it is rooted in # H3034 which means to Praise, thanks, shoot, give thanks, be thankful. The name Jude is an English version which comes from the Hebrew origin and the Greek being Judas. In Hebrew, the meaning of the name Jude (Judah, in Hebrew) is Praise or the praised one. Jude is used in the Bible in opposite to Judas Iscariot to distinguish between the two Apostles of the same name. Jude is the English form of the name Judas (Greek form, loudas) and the Greek form is from the name Judah (Hebrew form), which literally means “to give thanks, or praise”. The English version of the name is used in most versions of the Bible to disassociate Jude from Judas Iscariot. Jude has 7 variant forms: Juda, Judah, Judas, Judd, Judsen, Judson and feminine Judith

I was amazed at how much could be gleaned from this little book. It has been described as the “difficult and neglected letter” and I now believe that this is certainly true. It has a lot to say to the modern church; and addresses much of what we call “today’s culture,” human rights, and liberty. It also gives guidance as to what role the church should play today. These 25 verses are packed full of spiritual insights and principles; in fact, so much so, that this will be a rather extensive and exposition study on the epistle of Jude. Hence, we come to the second question, who is this “Jude” or "Judas" (as seen from above) that wrote the "Epistle of Jude" since we have several Jude or Judas in the bible?

Christianity EtcRe: Is Judas A Bad Name To Bear? by Goshen360(m): 4:07pm On May 13, 2012
There is nothing wrong with the name Judas. Infact, you will love this name with the explanation below:

JUDE from the Strong's Exhaustive concordance (# G2455,loudas) is from the Hebrew origin (# H3063 – i.e Jehudah or Judah) which means celebrated, confessor of Jehovah and it is rooted in (# H3034) which means to Praise, thanks, shoot, give thanks, be thankful. In Hebrew, the meaning of the name Jude (Judah, in Hebrew) is Praise or the praised one. Jude is used in the Bible in opposite to Judas Iscariot to distinguish between the two apostles of Jesus with the same name. Jude is the English form of the name Judas(Greek form), while Judas is from Judah(Hebrew form) which literally means “to give thanks, or praise”. The English version of the name is used in most versions of the Bible to disassociate Jude from Judas Iscariot since Apostle Judas and Judas Iscariot have the same name. The name Jude is an English form of the Greek - Judas while Judah is the Hebrew origin.

Jude has 7 variant forms: Juda, Judah, Judas, Judd, Judsen, Judson and feminine Judith.

I hope this helps.

lolz. grin grin I have just shown you things that was "buried" in those verses. When God reveal them to you, then it's called or known as revelation bro. However, you need to spend time with the Holy Spirit and also build some library to be revealed to because the Spirit searches all things, even the deep thing things of God. I will share with you, if you don't mind some study materials that might also be of help to you for indepth exposition of the word of God.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1 Cor. 2:10 kjv

Goshen360: Let me help you with another nugget to decode that Gen 1:2 and Luke 5:4 I gave you before. Here is another tips to decode that one.

Gen 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. kjv

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 nkjv

CAN YOU MAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THESE VERSES STILL?
Now, this is the first decoding and revelation.

In the beginning, there was God (Yahweh), there is also in the beginning God (Jesus Christ). The book of Colossians 1:16 says,

"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him".

In Genesis, there are SOME great words that He (Christ) that was "in the beginning" AND the Hebrew Patriarchs understood very well. Those words are: CREATE, FORM, MADE AND DEEP. (At least, let's limit it to these four words only for the purpose of just this exposition)

First, to create is to make something exist OUT OF NOTHING and ONLY God is the subject of creation meaning, ONLY God can create. To form and make is to make something exist from WHAT ALREADY EXISTED. God formed/made man OUT OF the dust of the ground meaning dust of the ground already existed. God formed/made Eve OUT OF Adam, meaning Adam already existed. God did not create Eve from Adam. God did not create Adam from dust of the ground. Hence, man can form or make BUT man cannot CREATE. Are you getting it? lolz.

David, the Patriarch understood this mystery and KNOWS that ONLY God can CREATE and ONLY God is the SUBJECT of creation, when he prayed, he said, "CREATE in me a clean heart...".

Hey! This is a revelation to answered prayers. When you needed something from God and needed to touch the very heart of God, you need to remind God the subject of "in the beginning". You need to remind God of the same power with which He "created" the heavens and the earth. You need to ask God to do the same thing He did "in the beginning" for you. You need to ASK God to "CREATE" for you....meaning God to do what no man can do as ONLY GOD IS THE SUBJECT OF CREATION. So David was saying to God, "do for me what you did in the beginning" that no man can do. David, other Patriarchs and Jesus (that was in the beginning) understood these mysteries of/from the beginning and they tapped into the same mystery to shape their life, living and future.

I will share the other revelation maybe tomorrow. It's the same key to decode the Gen 1:2; Gen 49:25 and Luke 5:4. You can give it a shot now. I have to go to bed now. It's "sleep o'clock". Enjoy bro, till tomorrow.

lolz grin grin grin I told you you earlier that there is a gospel by REVELATION. I am NOT teaching here with those verses but preaching or sharing revelation in/of the gospel. When am teaching, I will interpret as it is. However, my revelation MUST NOT and WILL NOT contradict scriptures.

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began Romans 16:25 nkjv

Wait let me share the revelation with you now from those verses. Okay. I will pull it up to you now.

Goshen360: If you tie Gen 1:2 Nkjv

The earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

AND LUKE 5:4 Kjv

Now when he had ceased speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE OUT SOME REVELATION OF WHAT CHRIST WAS SAYING TO SIMEON? IT'S A GREAT MESSAGE CHRIST WAS PASSING TO PETER. CAN YOU DECODE IT?
OK NOW, TO HELP YOU A LITTLE WITH WHAT CHRIST WAS SAYING TO SIMEON PETER, ADD THIS VERSE

Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: Gen 49:25 kjv

CAN YOU GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT STILL?

buzugee: ahhhh my bad LOL so what was he saying to simon ? school me. lets see your version of interpretation
This is NOT a matter of Interpretation. When you teach, is when you interpret BUT when you preach, you preach BY REVELATION. Revelation is the Application of what the Spirit of God reveals to you. I will show you what Christ was saying to Peter in a moment but I might go and take a shower then come back later....if you are still awake. But if not, I will just post it and you read tomorrow.
