Prologue:
AV Ac 7:51-52 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers [did], so [do] ye. 52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
AV Ac 7:55-58 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast [him] out of the city, and stoned [him]: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
Salvation History has this sad way of repeating itself, with different details.
AV Jn 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
"So you have special privilege to judge?", So following Jesus' words are an issue again ???
AV Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
"Who gave you that privilege?", The GODhead !!!
AV Jn 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.
"Is this privilege something only you have?", Everyone has a free will choice(or judgment over themselves) from GOD.
AV 1C 6:2-3 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
"Where in the bible does it say that?", Answer Paul's question, if you know that you are a "saint" ???
Can I know, that I can be like Jesus then ???
A Judgment like this, is easy for those who do not know(or "do always resist the Holy Ghost") the Holy Spirit.
AV Mt 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
As I have said before paraphrasing Jesus, "Goats do not recognize Jesus in the sheep."
AV Jn 17:20-22 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
The Comforter understands the oneness relationship between man and GOD.
AV Jn 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
AV Jn 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
AV Jn 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
The Comforter helps others to know Jesus' words too.
Yours in Christ, Michael
