EUNUK OG KASTERATION

Eunuk (gr. eunuchos sengevogter) kastrat, gilding, gøre til eunuk / kastrere mand hvis testikler er fjernet i barndommen, i orienten anv. som vogter af harem; wordbook

gøre til eunuk / kastrere

Matthæus 19,12Thi der er gildinger, som er født således fra moders liv, og der er gildinger, som er gildede af mennesker; og der er gildinger, som har gildet sig selv for Himmerigets skyld. Den, som kan fatte det, han fatte det!"(Oversættelsen fra 1948)

De første kristne læste Jesus ord fuldstændigt bogstaveligt. Kirkefaderen Origenes (ca. år 185-254) kastrerede sig selv efter at have læst Matthæus 19,12. Det fortæller Eusebius (ca. 260-341) i sin kirkehistorie:

Gik folk virkelig og Kastrerede sig selv på Jesus' tid?

Det var faktisk ikke spor unormalt på Jesus' tid.

Historikeren Josephus ´(år 39 - ca. 100) skrev 20 bind om jødefolkets historie. I dette værk, der altså blev skrevet nogenlunde samtidigt med Matthæusevangeliet, skrev Josephus:Those who have made themselves eunuchs shall be detested; avoid contact with those who renounce their manhood and the generative power God has given to men to increase their species. Expel them as if they had killed their children, for they have lost what should produce them. Clearly their effeminate soul has caused them to maim their body too. Treat likewise all that is of monstrous appearance, and let it be unlawful to geld men or any other animals.

Josephus mener altså, at folk, der har gjort sig selv til eunukker, skal jages væk og afskys, som om de havde dræbt deres egne børn. Dette viser, at "eunuk" skal forstås fuldstændigt bogstaveligt. Josephus skriver, at de har frataget sig selv deres manddom, at de har dræbt deres (fremtidige) børn, at de er blevet feminine og monstrøse, og at Moseloven forbyder at gilde mennesker og dyr.

Det har åbenbart været så almindeligt på Jesus' tid at kastrere sig selv, at Josephus ikke bare nævner det, men bruger et afsnit på at fordømme det i stærke ord.

Josephus' skarpe ordvalg og hans henvisning til Moseloven viser, at det ikke drejede sig om en obskur "hedensk" sekt, men om centrale strømninger i jødedommen.

Men det skete ikke ikke kun blandt jøderne. Mange "hedenske" religioner krævede selvkastration af præsterne. Vi har et levn af det den dag i dag, hvor katolske præster, biskopper og paver formodes at leve i cølibat.

Her er et citat fra bogen Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven:

Many pagan priests castrated themselves so that they would not be stained by sex, but be pure and holy mediators between the people and the god or goddess. Cultic castration may be found, for example, in Babylon, in Lebanon, in Phoenicia, on Cyprus, in Syria, in the cult of Artemis in Ephesus, in the cult of Osiris in Egypt, and in the Phrygian cult of Attis and Cybele, which was widely disseminated in both East and West.

(Uta Ranke-Heinemann, Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven, 1990)

Lad os ikke glemme, at de første 144,000 mennesker, der kommer i Himmelen, er mandlige jomfruer, der ikke har "sølet sig til med kvinder":

Åbenbar. 14,3Og de synger en ny sang foran tronen og de fire levende væsener og de fireogtyve ældste, og den sang kunne ingen lære undtagen de ét hundrede og fireogfyrre tusind, som er købt fri af jorden.

Åbenbar. 14,4Det er dem, der ikke har sølet sig til med kvinder, men er jomfruelige. De følger Lammet, hvor det går. De er købt fri fra menneskerne som en førstegrøde for Gud og Lammet,

Under alle omstændigheder forbød Kejser Konstantin kastration i hele romerriget. Det var samme Kejser Konstantin, der gjorde kristendommen til statsreligion, og ved det første kirkemøde, koncilet i Nikæa år 325, blev selvkastration forbudt. Det var faktisk den allerførste "kanon" (= påbud), hvilket siger noget om, hvor udbredt fænomenet har været.

Canon 1. If any one in sickness has been subjected by physicians to a surgical operation, or if he has been castrated by barbarians, let him remain among the clergy; but, if any one in sound health has castrated himself, it behoves that such an one, if [already] enrolled among the clergy, should cease [from his ministry], and that from henceforth no such person should be promoted.

But, as it is evident that this is said of those who willfully do the thing and presume to castrate themselves, so if any have been made eunuchs by barbarians, or by their masters, and should otherwise be found worthy, such men the Canon admits to the clergy.
(Koncilet i Nikæa år 325 - se eksternt link længere nede)

Påbuddet accepterer, at folk er blevet kastreret på grund af sygdom, eller af barbarer eller slaveejere. Men folk, der kastrerer sig selv, skal smides ud af kirken.

Hvordan kan man bedst bortforklare Jesus' Ord?

Det er ikke så fikst, at Jesus anbefaler noget, som kirken forbyder, og som vækker afsky i vores moderne samfund. Bibelselskabet har derfor valgt den prøvede løsning med at forfalske teksten: I oversættelsen fra 1992 er eunuk erstattet med "uegnet" og "dem".

Matthæus 19,12Der er dem, der er uegnede til ægteskab fra moders liv, og der er dem, der er uegnede, fordi mennesker har gjort dem uegnede til det, og der er dem, der har gjort sig selv uegnede for Himmerigets skyld. Lad dem, der kan, rumme det!" (Den autoriserede oversættelse fra 1992)

"Uegnet" eller eunuk? Hvilken bibeloversættelse skal man tro på? Man behøver heldigvis ikke at være ekspert i oldgræsk for at kunne genkende ordet i den græske originaltekst:

Matthæus 19,12eisin gar eunouchoi oitines ek koilias mêtros egennêthêsan outôs, kai eisin eunouchoi oitines eunouchisthêsan upo tôn anthrôpôn, kai eisin eunouchoi oitines eunouchisan eautous dia tên basileian tôn ouranôn. o dunamenos chôrein chôreitô.

(Originalteksten på oldgræsk)

Her fremgår det tydeligt, at Jesus siger "eunuk" ikke mindre end fem gange. Man får lyst til at citere Jesus fra 1948-oversættelsen igen: »Den, som kan fatte det, han fatte det«. Men Bibelselskabet vil åbenbart ikke fatte det.

Konklusion: Læs aldrig Bibelen med en skarp saks i hånden. Efter sigende fortrød Origenes sin handling senere.

Forøvrigt skal kristne mænd IKKE lade sig kastere, man bliver ikke mere ren af den grund, renheden er Jesu Kristus ved Den Hellige Ånd inde i hjertet som er sindet hvorfra hele livet udspringer. Velsignet er de rene af hjertet/ sindet de skal se Gud. Men møder vi kristne mænd der har gjort skal vi elske dem på lige fod med alle andre.

Amen

Eunuk (gr. Eunuchos bedkeeper) castrate, gilding, make eunuk / castrate man whose testicles are removed in childhood, in the orient used. as guardian of harem; wordbook

make for eunuch / castrates

Matthew 19:12This are guilds born thus from the womb, and there are guilds which are gilded by men; and there are gildings that have ruled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. He who can understand, he understands! "(1948 translation)

The first Christians read the words of Jesus completely literally. The Church Father Origen (c. 185-254) castrated himself after reading Matthew 19:12. This tells Eusebius (c. 260-341) in his church history:

Did people really go and castrate themselves in Jesus' time?

In fact, there were no abnormal traces in Jesus' time.

The historian Josephus (year 39 - c. 100) wrote 20 volumes on the history of the Jewish people. In this work, which was thus written at approximately the same time as the Gospel of Matthew, Josephus wrote: Those who have made themselves eunuchs shall be detested; avoid contact with those who renounce their manhood and the generative power God has given to men to increase their species. Expel them as if they had killed their children, for they have lost what should produce them. Clearly their effeminate soul has caused them to maim their body too. Treat similarly all that is of monstrous appearance, and let it be unlawful to money men or any other animals.

Thus, Josephus believes that people who have made themselves eunuchs must be chased away and despised as if they had killed their own children. This shows that "eunuch" must be understood quite literally. Josephus writes that they have deprived themselves of their manhood, that they have killed their (future) children, that they have become feminine and monstrous, and that the Mosaic Law forbids gilding humans and animals.

Apparently, it has been so common in Jesus' time to castrate himself that Josephus does not just mention it, but uses a paragraph to condemn it in strong words.

Josephus' sharp choice of words and his reference to the Mosaic Law show that it was not about an obscure "pagan" sect, but about central currents in Judaism.

But it didn't just happen among the Jews. Many "pagan" religions demanded the self-castration of the priests. We have a leftover to this day, where Catholic priests, bishops and popes are supposed to be living in celibacy.

Here is a quote from the book Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven:

Many Pagan priests castrated themselves so that they would not be stained by sex, but be pure and holy mediators between the people and the god or goddess. Cultural castration may be found, for example, in Babylon, in Lebanon, in Phenicia, in Cyprus, in Syria, in the cult of Artemis in Ephesus, in the cult of Osiris in Egypt, and in the Phrygian cult of Attis and Cybele, which was widely disseminated in both East and West.

(Uta Ranke-Heinemann, Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven, 1990)

Let us not forget that the first 144,000 people who come to Heaven are male virgins who have not "messed with women":

Obvious. 14.3And they sing a new song before the throne and the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders, and that song could teach no man except the one hundred and forty-four thousand purchased of the earth.

Obvious. 14.4These are those who have not contaminated women, but are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever it goes. They have been purchased free from humans as a firstfruits of God and the Lamb,

In any case, Emperor Constantine forbade castration throughout the Roman Empire. It was the same Emperor Constantine who made Christianity a state religion, and at the first church meeting, the Council of Nicaea 325, self-rejection was forbidden. In fact, it was the very first "canon" (= injunction), which says something about how widespread the phenomenon has been.

Canon 1. If any one in sickness has been subjected by physicians to a surgical operation, or if he has been castrated by barbarians, let him remain among the clergy; but, if any one in sound health has castrated himself, it needs that such an one, if [already] enrolled among the clergy, should cease [from his ministry], and that henceforth no such person should be promoted.

But it is evident that this is said by those who willfully do the thing and presume to castrate themselves, so if any have been made eunuchs by barbarians, or by their masters, and should otherwise be found worthy, such as the Canon admits to the clergy.

(Council of Nicaea 325 - see external link below)

The injunction accepts that people have been castrated because of illness, or by barbarians or slave owners. But people who castrate themselves must be thrown out of the church.

How can you best explain Jesus' Word?

It is not so certain that Jesus recommends something that the Church forbids and which disgusts in our modern society. The Bible Society has therefore chosen the tried-and-true solution of falsifying the text: In the 1992 translation, eunuch was replaced by "unfit" and "them".

Matthew 19:12There are those who are unfit for marriageescaped from the life of the mother, and there are those who are unfit because people have made them unfit for it, and there are those who have made themselves unfit for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let those who can accommodate it! "(Authorized translation from 1992)

"Unsuitable" or eunuch? What Bible Translation Should You Believe in? Fortunately, you do not need to be an expert in Ancient Greek in order to recognize the word in the Greek original text:

Matthew 19,12 claimin eunouchoi oitines also koilias mêtros eignêthêsan outôs, kai eisin eunouchoi oitines eunouchisthêsan upo tôn anthropôn, kai eisin eunouchoi oitines eunouchisan autous dia tên basilian tôn ouranôn o dunamenos chôrein chôreitô.

(Original text in Ancient Greek)

Here it is clear that Jesus says "eunuch" no less than five times. You want to quote Jesus from the 1948 translation again: "He who can understand, he understands." But the Bible Society obviously won't understand it.

Conclusion: Never read the Bible with sharp scissors in your hand. Origen's allegedly later regretted his act.Incidentally, Christian men should NOT be thrown away, one does not become more pure for that reason, the purity is Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit inside the heart which is the mind from which all life springs. Blessed are the pure of heart / mind they must see God. But when we meet Christian men who have done this, we must love them on an equal footing with everyone else.

Amen

Hvad skete der på korset?

LINK

Hvis du forsøger på at forstå Gud og herren Jesus med din forstand, opnår du kun viden eller kundskab omkring dem. Men har du personligt Den hellige Ånd i dig åbenbarer gud selv alt i Bibelen og meget mere for dig så du er levende kristen og ikke en religiøs kopi kristen der bare gør og siger som du ser alle andre gør. Gud har skabt os som originale ikke kopier.

Hvorfor skulle Jesus dø, og hvad skete der på korset?

Dette er centrale spørgsmål, når det kommer til den kristne tro og et område, hvor djævelen ønsker at skabe forvirring. Han gør det på samme måde som i Edens have - ved at tage det, Gud har sagt, og fordreje det.

En klog mand sagde engang, at en god opskrift på kætteri er at tage noget af sandheden og gøre det til hele sandheden . For der er mange sandheder i Guds ord, der hurtigt kan føre en på vildspor, hvis de er adskilt fra andre sandheder. Det er derfor vigtigt at prædike summen af Guds ord. Det er nøjagtig det sekterne gør den ag i dag. De siger. De er de eneste sande kristne i hele verden og de laver deres egne frelses paragraffer uden de i virkeligheden kender Gud og Herren Jesus. Prøv selv at spørge dem og Åndens nåde gaver, og Hellig Åndens dåb da får du modvind, de har lavet deres egne religioner og falske guder som de løber land og rige rundt for at akttiere for. Det mest underlige er jo. De kommer ikke til de stærke, men udser sig svage i samfundet og begynder der på deres hjerne vaskerier og manipulationer, men den Sand Herre Jesu fornægter de som deres Herre og Gud. De bruger det ord mon angående stort set alt sågar har en del mixset deres egen bibler sammenblandet med deres falske doktriner så den ligner Bibelen men er fuld af fordrejninger af Sandhederne.

GUD ER DA NÅDIG MOD ALLE ER HAN IKKE!

Det er rigtigt, at Gud er en nådig Gud, men hvis sandheden om at Gud er nådig adskilt fra sandheden om Gud som hellig og retfærdig, kan resultatet hurtigt være, at synd trivialiseres, og pludselig er alt tilladt for Gud at være barmhjertig. Dette begynder nu at ske, når det kommer til mange kristne 'forståelse af, hvad der skete på korset. Fordi temaer som dom og straf er upopulære i nutidens samfund, har forkyndelsen af ​Jesu død på korset skiftet fokus. Dom over uretfærdige gerninger, et liv udefor Guds vilje, et liv i direkte oprør og synd, synd må mage steder ikke nævner fordi. Den verdens husmaniske ånd (verdens ånden) har magten og den fuldstændig kontrol de steder også selv om de kalder sig kristne og har en kirke, så alvorligt er den tid vi står i. Gud er ikke nådig over for bevidst synd som som Han har påpeget mennesker skal stoppe med i deres personlige liv, her er ikke tale om de ting vi falder i på grund af vore svagheder eller vi ikke ved det er forkert.

Da det er mere populært at tale om kærlighed, vælger mange at fokusere på korset som en demonstration af Guds kærlighed snarere end forsoning for vores synd. Ja, korset viser bestemt, hvor langt Gud var villig til at gå for at redde en mistet verden, og i den forstand er korset et udtryk for Guds kærlighed. Men korset er ikke kun et udtryk for Guds kærlighed. Faktisk vil jeg sige, at hvis du KUN gør korset til en demonstration af hvor meget Gud elsker os, er du i fare for at miste korsets sande betydning .

HVORFOR MÅTTE JESUS DØ?

Hvis vi ikke forstår, hvorfor Jesus var nødt til at dø, vil vi aldrig være i stand til fuldt ud at forstå, hvad han gjorde på korset, og derfor er dette et MEGET vigtigt spørgsmål.

For det første er det vigtigt at forstå, at det ikke var fordi Gud elskede os, at Jesus døde på korset. Hvis kærlighed var den eneste grund til, at Jesus døde, ville jeg sige, at Gud har en mærkelig måde at vise kærlighed. Jeg elsker mine børn, men går ikke ud og dræber mig selv for at vise dem, hvor meget jeg elsker dem. Faktisk vil jeg sige, at det er en syg form for kærlighed at udsætte sig for unødvendig tortur, for at vise nogen, hvor meget man elsker dem.

Men hvis mine børn var i fare, ville jeg have gjort noget for at redde dem og så ville det at give deres eget liv være et udtryk for ægte kærlighed. Da Jesus døde på korset, var det ikke bare for at vise os, hvor meget Gud elsker os. Der var en grund til, at han måtte gøre, hvad han gjorde, og dette forklarer Paulus i Romerne 4:25:

Han (Jesus), der blev overgivet til døden for vores synder og opvokset til at være retfærdig. 

-Romerne 4:25

Da Jesus døde på korset, var det fordi dette var den eneste måde, hvorpå vores synd kunne forsones . Han døde for at sone for din synd og din synd, men den stopper ikke der. Havde det stoppet der, ville jeg lige have været en tilgivet synder, og kun det ville have været vidunderligt, men Jesu arbejde på korset indeholder meget mere. For Jesus blev ikke kun korsfæstet og begravet i graven. Han genopstod, og ved sin opstand blev jeg erklæret retfærdig - dvs. ikke skyldig.

I Getsemane have bad Jesus ”Min far! Hvis det er muligt, lad denne kop gå forbi mig. Men ikke som jeg vil, ligesom du vil. " (Matt. 26:39). Med andre ord, Jesus ville ikke lide korsets død, hvis det ikke var absolut nødvendigt, men på grund af hans kærlighed til os, var han villig til at gøre det, hvis det var det, der var nødvendigt .

Det var kærlighed, der gjorde Jesus villig til at dø på korset, men det var vores synd, der gjorde korsets død nødvendigt . Når vi forkynder evangeliet, er det vigtigt for dem, der lytter at forstå, at det var på grund af deres synd, at Jesus måtte dø. Hvis de, der lytter, ikke forstår dette, vil det være svært for dem personligt at forholde sig til Jesu død på korset.

SYNDENS LØN ER IKKE BARE NÅDE MEN DØD

Fra 1. Mosebog har Gud gjort det klart for mennesker, at syndens løn er død. Ikke kun fysisk død, men også som en åndelig adskillelse mellem Gud og mennesket. Syndens løn er død, men Guds gave er evigt liv i Kristus Jesus, vores Herre. Romerne 6:23

Selvom Gud er kærlighed, kan han ikke overse menneskets synd, for han er også en retfærdig dommer. Syndens løn er død, og som en retfærdig dommer skal Gud derfor dømme efter de love, han har sat. Selvom vi ikke altid føler os som store syndere, ser Gud synd mere alvorligt end vi mennesker gør. Han ser den langsigtede konsekvens. Da Eva spiste den forbudte frugt, troede hun sandsynligvis ikke, at jeg gjorde en stor synd nu, men den langsigtede konsekvens af hendes ulydighed var katastrofal, og Gud vidste dette. Derfor sagde Han, hvad han sagde, og det ville have været meget bedre, hvis Eva lige havde stolet på, hvad Gud sagde.

Selvom det kan være svært for os at forstå, er Gud så alvorlig over synden, at syndens løn er evig fortabelse. Men Jesus ønsker ikke, at nogen skal fortabes, og derfor var han villig til at betale den pris, han betalte, hvilket gør Jesu død på korset til centrum af verdenshistorien. Det var det juridiske vendepunkt, hvor dommeren selv kompenserede for al verdens synd . Ikke kun den synd, der blev begået, men også den synd, der vil blive begået i fremtiden.

Gud har gjort ham synlig for sit blod for at være forsoningsstedet for dem, der tror. Sådan viste Gud sin retfærdighed. For han havde tidligere tålmodigt tilbageholdt straffen for de synder, der blev begået. Romerne 3:25 (Galaterne 3: 8-9)

Abraham blev erklæret retfærdig ved tro, selvom han levede hundreder af år før Jesu død på korset - for han så frem til Guds løfter. I hele Det Gamle Testamente så folk frem til korset ved de ofre, de lavede - disse ofre var profetiske handlinger, der pegede på, hvad der skulle komme.

Når Herrens engel afslører sig for Joseph, siger han om Jesus, at han "skal frelse sit folk fra deres synder ..." (Matt 1:21). Da døberen Johannes så Jesus, udbrød han: "Se, Guds Lam, som bortfører verdens synd!" (Joh 1:29). De, der hørte på John, kendte dette billede godt, fordi de var vant til de jødiske offerritualer - de var jøder.

I dag bliver vi frelst ved at se tilbage på hvad Jesus gjorde på korset. Når vi etablerer vores tro og tillid til det, han allerede har gjort, erklæres vi retfærdige. Ikke på grund af det, vi har gjort, men på grund af det, han har gjort. Åndeligt bliver vi korsfæstet med ham, vi dør med ham og i dåb bliver vi begravet med ham. (Rom. 6: 4-8 + Gal. 3:27 + Kol. 2: 12-14). Syndens løn er død, men en, der allerede er død, kan ikke dømmes til døden. Derfor kan vi ikke længere dømmes for vores synd. Vi kan nu erklære med Paulus: Jeg er korsfæstet med Kristus; Jeg lever ikke længere mig selv, men Kristus lever i mig .Galaterne 2: 19b-20

På grund af Adam og Evas fald blev alle mennesker besat af et syndevirus, der skabte et naturligt træk mod synd hos alle mennesker. Dette betød, at intet menneske var i stand til at leve et syndløst liv, og det betød, at alle mennesker var på vej til evig fortabelse. Selvom Gud respekterer vores frie vilje, ønsker han ikke, at nogen mennesker skal fortabes. Men selvom Han ikke vil have nogen til at gå fortab, kan han ikke som en retfærdig dommer ignorere menneskets synd.

En retfærdig dom over synden måtte derfor finde sted, og "offeret" for denne dom måtte være en, der ikke havde nogen synd selv. Da ingen mennesker var uden synd, valgte Gud selv i Jesus at blive menneske. Han levede et syndløst liv og valgte frivilligt at tage straffen for både den synd, der blev gjort, og den synd, der skulle ske i fremtiden . Derfor kan han perfekt redde ALLE, der kommer til Gud gennem ham. Han har givet evig frelse for alle, der modtager.

Ikke med geder og kalve blod, men med sit eget blod gik han ind i helligdommen en gang for alle og købte os fri for evigt ... Derfor kan han også fuldt ud redde dem, der kommer til Gud gennem ham, fordi han altid lever og forbøn for dem. Hebræerne 9:12 + 7:25.

ER DU MED JESUS? ER DU I HAM?

What happened on the cross?

If you try to understand God and the Lord Jesus with your understanding, you will only gain knowledge or knowledge about them. But do you personally have the Holy Spirit within you reveals to God everything in the Bible and much more to you so you are a living Christian and not a religious copy Christian who just does and says as you see everyone else doing. God has created us as original not copies.

Why did Jesus have to die, and what happened on the cross?

These are key issues when it comes to the Christian faith and an area where the devil wants to create confusion. He does it in the same way as in the Garden of Eden - by taking what God has said and distorting it.

One wise man once said that a good recipe for heresy is to take some of the truth and make it the whole truth. For there are many truths in the Word of God that can quickly lead one astray if they are separated from other truths. Therefore, it is important to preach the sum of God's words. This is exactly what the sects are doing today. They say. They are the only true Christians in the whole world and they make their own salvation paragraphs without actually knowing God and the Lord Jesus. Try to ask for yourself and the gifts of the Spirit, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit will give you headwind, they have created their own religions and false gods as they run the land and kingdom to act for. The weirdest thing, after all. They do not come to the strong, but look weak in the community and begin their brainwashing and manipulation there, but the true Lord Jesus denies them as their Lord and God. They use the word about almost everything, even some have mixed their own Bibles with their false doctrines so that it looks like the Bible but is full of distortions of the Truths.

GOD IS GRACEFUL AGAINST EVERYONE HE IS NOT!

It is true that God is a gracious God, but if the truth that God is graciously separated from the truth about God as holy and righteous, the result can quickly be that sin is trivialized, and suddenly everything is allowed to God to be merciful. This is now starting to happen when it comes to many Christians' understanding of what happened on the cross. Because themes such as judgment and punishment are unpopular in today's society, the preaching of Jesus' death on the cross has shifted focus. Judgment of unjust deeds, a life beyond the will of God, a life of direct rebellion and sin, sin must not be mentioned in many places because. The world's manmanic spirit (the spirit of the world) has the power and complete control of those places even though they call themselves Christians and have a church, so serious is the time we stand in. God is not gracious of conscious sin as He has pointed out people have to stop in their personal lives, this is not about the things we fall into because of our weaknesses or we don't know it is wrong.

As it is more popular to talk about love, many choose to focus on the cross as a demonstration of God's love rather than atonement for our sin. Yes, the cross certainly shows how far God was willing to go to save a lost world, and in that sense, the cross is an expression of God's love. But the cross is not just an expression of God's love. In fact, I would say that if you ONLY make the cross a demonstration of how much God loves us, you are in danger of losing the true meaning of the cross.

WHY DID JESUS ​​DIE?

If we do not understand why Jesus had to die, we will never be able to fully understand what He did on the cross, which is why this is a VERY important question.

First, it is important to understand that it was not because God loved us that Jesus died on the cross. If love was the only reason why Jesus died, I would say that God has a strange way of showing love. I love my kids, but don't go out and kill myself to show them how much I love them. In fact, I would say that exposing oneself to unnecessary torture is a sick form of love, to show someone how much one loves them.

But if my children were in danger, I would have done something to save them and then giving their own lives would be an expression of true love. When Jesus died on the cross, it wasn't just to show us how much God loves us. There was a reason he had to do what he did, and this explains Paul in Romans 4:25:

He (Jesus) who was surrendered to death for our sins and raised to be righteous.

- Romans 4:25

When Jesus died on the cross, it was because this was the only way our sin could be reconciled. He died to atone for your sin and your sin, but it doesn't stop there. Had it stopped there, I would have just been a forgiven sinner, and only that would have been wonderful, but Jesus' work on the cross contains EVERY MORE. For Jesus was not only crucified and buried in the tomb. He resurrected, and by his rebellion I was declared righteous - ie. not guilty.

In the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus prayed “My father! If possible, let this cup pass me by. But not as I will, just as you will. "(Matt. 26:39). In other words, Jesus would not suffer the death of the cross if it was not absolutely necessary, but because of His love for us, He was willing to do so if that was what was needed.

It was love that made Jesus willing to die on the cross, but it was our sin that made the death of the cross necessary. As we preach the gospel, it is important for those who listen to understand that it was because of their sin that Jesus had to die. If those who listen do not understand this, it will be difficult for them personally to relate to Jesus' death on the cross.

THE WAGES OF SIN IS NOT JUST GRACE BUT DEATH

From Genesis, God has made it clear to people that the wages of sin is dead. Not only physical death, but also as a spiritual separation between God and man. The wages of sin is dead, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Although God is love, he cannot overlook the sin of man, for he is also a righteous judge. The wages of sin is dead, and as a just judge, God must therefore judge by the laws He has set. Although we do not always feel like great sinners, God sees sin more seriously than we humans do. He sees the long-term consequence. When Eve ate the forbidden fruit, she probably didn't think I was making a big sin now, but the long-term consequence of her disobedience was catastrophic, and God knew this. Therefore, He said what He said and it would have been much better if Eve had just trusted what God said.

While it may be difficult for us to understand, God is so serious about sin that the wages of sin is eternal perdition. But Jesus does not want anyone to perish, which is why he was willing to pay the price he paid, making Jesus' death on the cross the center of world history. It was the legal turning point where the judge himself compensated for all the sin of the world. Not only the sin that was committed, but also the sin that will be committed in the future.

God has made Him visible to His blood to be the place of atonement for those who believe. This is how God showed His righteousness. For he had previously patiently withheld the punishment for the sins committed. Romans 3:25 (Galatians 3: 8-9)

Abraham was declared righteous by faith, even though he lived hundreds of years before Jesus' death on the cross - for he looked forward to God's promises. Throughout the Old Testament, people looked forward to the cross by the sacrifices they made - these sacrifices were prophetic acts that pointed to what was to come.

When the angel of the Lord reveals himself to Joseph, he says of Jesus that he "shall save his people from their sins ..." (Matthew 1:21). When John the Baptist saw Jesus, he exclaimed, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!" (Jn 1:29). Those who listened to John knew this image well because they were used to the Jewish sacrificial rituals - they were Jews.

Today we are saved by looking back at what Jesus did on the cross. When we establish our faith and trust in what He has already done, we are declared righteous. Not because of what we've done, but because of what he's done. Spiritually we are crucified with him, we die with him and in baptism we are buried with him. (Rom. 6: 4-8 + Gal. 3:27 + Col. 2: 12-14). The wages of sin is dead, but one who is already dead cannot be sentenced to death. Therefore, we can no longer be judged for our sin. We can now declare with Paul: I am crucified with Christ; I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in me. Galatians 2: 19b-20

Because of the fall of Adam and Eve, all human beings were possessed by a sin virus that created a natural trait against sin in all human beings. This meant that no human being was capable of living a sinless life, and that all human beings were on their way to eternal perdition. Although God respects our free will, He does not want any people to perish. But even though He does not want anyone to perish, He cannot, as a just judge, ignore human sin.

Therefore, a just judgment on sin had to take place and the "victim" of that judgment had to be one who had no sin himself. Since no man was without sin, God himself chose in Jesus to become human. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily chose to take the punishment for both the sin that was done and the sin that was to happen in the future. Therefore, he can perfectly save ALL who come to God through him. He has given eternal salvation to all who receive.

Not with goats and calves of blood, but with his own blood he entered the sanctuary once and for all and bought us free forever ... Therefore he can also fully save those who come to God through him, because he always lives and intercession for them. Hebrews 9:12 + 7:25.

ARE YOU WITH JESUS? ARE YOU IN HAM?

Esajas 53.v1. Hvem troede på det, vi hørte? For hvem blev Herrens arm åbenbaret? v2. Han skød op foran Herren som en spire, som et rodskud af den tørre jord. Hans skikkelse havde ingen skønhed, vi så ham, men vi brød os ikke om synet. v3. Foragtet og opgivet af mennesker, en lidelsernes mand, kendt med sygdom, én man skjuler ansigtet for, foragtet, vi regnede ham ikke for noget.v4. Men det var vore sygdomme, han tog, det var vore lidelser, han bar; og vi regnede ham for en, der var ramt, slået og plaget af Gud. v5. Men han blev gennemboret for vore overtrædelser og knust for vore synder. Han blev straffet, for at vi kunne få fred, ved hans sår blev vi helbredt. v6. Vi flakkede alle om som får, vi vendte os hver sin vej; men Herren lod al vor skyld ramme ham. v7. Han blev plaget og mishandlet, men han åbnede ikke sin mund; som et lam, der føres til slagtning, som et får, der er stumt, mens det klippes, åbnede han ikke sin mund. v8. Fra fængsel og dom blev han taget bort. Hvem tænkte på hans slægt, da han blev revet bort fra de levendes land? For mit folks synd blev han ramt. v9. Man gav ham grav blandt forbrydere og gravplads blandt de rige, skønt han ikke havde øvet uret, der fandtes ikke svig i hans mund.v10. Det var Gud Herrens vilje at knuse ham med sygdom. Når hans liv er bragt som skyldoffer, ser han afkom og får et langt liv, og Herrens vilje lykkes ved ham. v11. Efter sin lidelse ser han lys, han mættes ved sin indsigt. Min tjener bringer retfærdighed til de mange, og han bærer på deres synder. v12. Derfor giver jeg ham del med de store, med de mægtige deler han bytte, fordi han hengav sit liv til døde og blev regnet blandt lovbrydere. Men han bar de manges synd, og trådte i stedet for syndere.

Læste du dette afsnit fra Esajas bog i tro? Det blev skrevet ca. 600.år før Jesus kom til jorden, og hvad skete der så lige? Kom Jesus ikke? Eller er det kun en god fortælling, om en eller anden person som var god mod de fattige og undertrykte? Hvad mener du selv om Jesus? Hvem er den Jesus og Gud du tror på? Er det Bibelens Jesus som Guds Ord siger Han er du tror på?

v1. Hvem troede på det, vi hørte? For hvem blev Herrens arm åbenbaret? Troede du i grunden på det du hørte første gang du hørte noget fra Bibelen? Ja siger du. Nej siger jeg. Prøv at være ærlig nu når ingen ser det. Vær ærlig og se om du troede Guds Ord. Jeg gjorde ikke. Meget havde været anderledes om jeg havde troet og gjort som Gud i Ordet siger fra begyndelsen af mit kristne liv. Hvad med dig?

v2. Han skød op foran Herren som en spire, som et rodskud af den tørre jord. Jesus fik at vide. Kan noget godt komme fra Nazaret! Sådan er både du og jeg også. Vi regnede Ham ikke som Den Han er. Hans skikkelse havde ingen skønhed, vi så ham, men vi brød os ikke om synet. v3. Foragtet og opgivet af mennesker, en lidelsernes mand, kendt med sygdom, én man skjuler ansigtet for, foragtet, vi regnede ham ikke for noget.

Har du set og mødt Jesus som han er.

Foragtet, hadet grim i sit ydre. Jesus var ikke noget ikon som Han ofte fremstilles som. Er det den Jesus du tror på og følger i dine troens handlinger? På trods af vort had og uretfærdige beskyldninger mod Ham tog Jesus al vor smerte og straf på sig. v4. Men det var vore sygdomme, han tog, det var vore lidelser, han bar; og vi regnede ham for en, der var ramt, slået og plaget af Gud. v5. Men han blev gennemboret for vore overtrædelser og knust for vore synder. Han blev straffet, for at vi kunne få fred, ved hans sår blev vi helbredt. v6. Vi flakkede alle om som får, vi vendte os hver sin vej; men Gud Herren lod al vor skyld ramme ham.

Er det den Jesus som du elsker? Han elsker dig over alt, gik i døden for dig, tog din indre smerte ja hele din skyld betalte Jesus med sit liv.

Åben dine øjne og ører i tro, og erfar Jesus som den Han er.

Open your eyes and ears

Isaiah 53.v1. Who believed in what we heard? To whom was the arm of the Lord revealed? v2. He shot up in front of the Lord like a spire, like a root shot of the dry earth. His figure had no beauty, we saw him, but we did not like the sight. v3. Despised and abandoned by people, a man of suffering, familiar with illness, one to hide his face, despised, we did not count him for anything. But it was our illnesses he took, it was our suffering he suffered; and we counted him one who was afflicted, beaten and tormented by God. v5. But he was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our sins. He was punished so that we could have peace, by his wounds we were healed. v6. We all wandered about like sheep, we each turned our way; But the Lord let all our guilt hit him. v7. He was tormented and abused, but he did not open his mouth; like a lamb brought to slaughter, like a sheep that is mute while it is mowed, he did not open his mouth. v8. From prison and judgment he was taken away. Who thought of his lineage when he was torn from the land of the living? For the sin of my people he was afflicted. v9. He was buried among criminals and burial ground among the rich, though he had not practiced the wrongs, there was no fraud in his mouth. It was God’s will to crush him with sickness. When his life is offered as a guilt offering, he sees the offspring and has a long life, and the Lord's will succeeds in him. v11. After his suffering he sees light, he is satisfied with his insight. My servant brings justice to the many, and he bears on their sins. v12. Therefore, I give him the great, the mighty parts he spoils, because he devoted his life to death and was counted among offenders. But he bore the sin of many, and substituted for sinners.

Did you read this passage from the book of Isaiah in faith? It was written approx. 600 years before Jesus came to earth, and what happened then? Didn't Jesus come? Or is it just a good story about some person who was good to the poor and oppressed? What do you think about Jesus? Who is the Jesus and God you believe in? Is it the Bible Jesus as the Word of God says He is you believe in?

v1. Who believed in what we heard? To whom was the arm of the Lord revealed? Did you basically believe what you heard the first time you heard something from the Bible? Yes you say. No, I say. Try to be honest now when nobody sees it. Be honest and see if you believed the Word of God. I did not. Much would have been different if I had believed and done as God says in the Word from the beginning of my Christian life. What about you?

v2. He shot up in front of the Lord like a spire, like a root shot of the dry earth. Jesus was told. Can anything good come from Nazareth! That's how you and I are. We did not consider Him as Who He is. His figure had no beauty, we saw him, but we did not like the sight. v3. Despised and abandoned by people, a man of suffering, familiar with illness, one to hide his face, despised, we did not count him for anything.

Have you seen and met Jesus as he is.

 Despised, hated ugly in its exterior. Jesus was not an icon He is often portrayed as. Is it the Jesus you believe in and follow in the actions of your faith? Despite our hatred and unjust accusations against Him, Jesus took on all our pain and punishment. v4. But it was our illnesses he took, it was our suffering he suffered; and we counted him one who was afflicted, beaten and tormented by God. v5. But he was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our sins. He was punished so that we could have peace, by his wounds we were healed. v6. We all wandered about like sheep, we each turned our way; but the Lord God caused all our guilt to befall him.

Is that the Jesus you love? He loves you all over, went to death for you, took your inner pain yes all your guilt paid Jesus with his life.

             Open your eyes and ears in faith and experience Jesus as He is.

Man kan ikke omskrive en Bibel

Bibelen er jødernes Historiebog,

Det er Israels Historie.

Det er kristnes brugermanuale i deres liv.

Det er også Verdenshistorie, med beretning om hvordan alt blev skabt ved at Gud udtalte det.
Alt er skabt ud af den usynlige verden.

Bibelen er også en profetisk Bog, den skaber det den nævner, den er levende i kraft af gud selv åbenbarer bogens indhold. Det gør en omskrevet kopi Bibel ikke.

Fordi Gud er nidkær, nøjeregnende i at opfylde det der står, læs bibelen og se dig omkring om ikke mange af forudsigelserne i de profetiske bøger bliver opfyldt i disse dage i stor stil.

Bibelen er også en Hellig skrifts bog, den er en manual til enhver Kristens liv.

Vi kan gennem Tro, tilegne os alt der står.

Vi har siden 1990erne mødt mange forskellige revisioner af Bibel hvorfor? Fordi nu har vi jo teknologien og internet så nu kan vi bedre oversætte. Mange oversættelser er blevet lavet mildere end de første biblers ord hvorfor. Fordi. Vi er i er tid hvor folk generelt ikek tror på bibelens ord og så gerne vil have den lavet mere human mere blød og rund så Gud bliver til en anden end Hane er. Mange oversættelser giver et forkert billede af Gud, Jesus og Den Hellige Ånd, der står ikek Den hellige Ånds inspiration bag alle bibel oversættelser, så gar vil nogen have fortabelsens pine sted ud af Biblen men stedet er der stadig for de der ikke er fødte på ny af Gud Herren selv.

Om du ikke ønsker at tro det Gud siger om sin søn Jesus Kristus, eller ikke vil have det der står, eller ønsker at hoppe noget over af det som er beskrevet deri, så er du en vantro, eller i oprør overfor det som Gud har sagt og gjort, og oprør fører til helvedet som Er det evige endemål Gud har forberedt satan og hans tilhængere, et evigt pinested.

Satan er skyld i at der kom synd , sygdom, fattigdom. Ondskab og tyranni. m.m. Ind i verden. Det skete da Eva og Adam som stod ved siden af Eva, gjorde oprør imod det Gud havde sagt- I må ikke spise af frugten på det træ der.

Da de adlød slangen kom kimen af syndens oprør ind i verden, som Gud ellers havde skabt så godt. Men Gud fandt på forskellige måder at redde mennesker ud af syndens kim eller lad os kalde det for dna. Han udslettede ved Noa hele menneskeheden ved oversvømmelse- på nær Noa og hans sønner og deres koner.

Vi ser herved at kimen/oprøret mod Gud - arvesynden, hurtigt rejste sig efter nogen tid igen- Ånd kan man ikke til intet gøre. En ånd lever Evigt. Vi er skabt af Ånd, sjæl, legeme. Gud gjorde så de ti bud, som mennesker skulle leve efter, og de skulle ofre forskellige dyr, lam og duer m. m. Men det virkede så at der blev slagtet så mange dyr, det var alt for meget, og Gud blev træt af slagtofrene.

Efter lang tid kom den bedste løsning i at redde mennesker i at ende i helvedet.

JESUS KRISTUS

I stedet for at dyr skulle slagtes. Sendte Gud sin søn.

John 3:16-17

Således elskede Gud verden, at han sendte sin søn JESUS for at enhver SOM TROR PÅ HAM IKKE SKAL FORTABES MEN HAVE EVIGT LIV. Gud sendte ikke sin søn for at dømme verden, men for at verden skulle frelses ved ham.

Jesus er vejen, sandheden og livet.

Bibelens Ord bliver levende i dit liv ved: LÆS SOM DER STÅR, TRO SOM DER STÅR, GØR SOM DER STÅR.

Da Jesus døde på korset for os tog han hele loven op på korset for os, og gav os to nye bud.
Elsk din næste som dig selv, når du vandrer i kærlighed opfylder du derved loven.
Og så sagde Jesus også.

Markus 16:16-18

Og han sagde til dem: Gå ud i al verden og forsynd evangeliet for al skabningen!
Den som tror og bliver døbt, skal blive frelst; men den som er vantro, skal blive fordømt.
Og disse tegn skal følge dem, der tror: I mit navn skal de uddrive onde ånder; de skal tale med nye tunger;de skal tage på slanger, og hvis de drikker dødbringende gift, skal det ikke skade dem; på de syge skal de lægge hænder, og de skal blive raske.

Gør alt du gør for at Herliggøre Jesus. Og vandre altid i kærlighed.

TAK FOR DET DU GJORDE FOR OS. DA DU BETALTE PRISEN FOR ALLE PÅ JORD. ALLE SOM TROR ER NU GÅET OVER FRA DØDEN TIL LIVET. VI KAN KUN GIVE DIG ALT - VI KAN IKKE TAKKE OG PRISE DIG NOK FOR DIN STORE KÆRLIGHED OG GIVERSIND.

Bibelen er en uforanderlig historiebog- Historie kan man ikke lave om på.

Gud er I Jesus giveren, du som tror på Hans navn Jesus er modtageren af alle Guds gode gaver som kommer genne Jesus fra Gud til os.

Jesus er Kongernes Konge Jødernes Konge og Headningers Frelser.

Det er godt og gavnligt vi har bibler på vort sprog, og forskellige varianter så vi kan forstå ordet også med vores forstand, det er jo ikke noget ved at læse en bog som vi ikke kan forstå men vi skal holde os fra de variationer der ikke er oversat eller skrevet ud fra grundteksten, men har puttet egne falske doktriner ind i Biblen manipuleret med ordet så den er til passet. derfor er det bedste at holde sig til de autoriserede oversættelser af Bibelen aldrig tro på kopi guder og Bibler.

ENGLISH

You can't rewrite a Bible!

The Bible is the History Book of the Jews,

That is the History of Israel.

It is Christian's user manual in their lives.

It is also World History, with the account of how everything was created by God pronouncing it.

Everything is created out of the invisible world.

The Bible is also a prophetic Book, it creates what it mentions, it is alive by the power of God itself reveals the book's contents. It doesn't do a paraphrased copy Bible.

Because God is zealous, fussy in fulfilling what is said, read the Bible and look around if not many of the prophecy prophecy predictions are being fulfilled these days in great style.

The Bible is also a book of Holy Scripture, it is a manual for every Christian's life.

Through faith, we can acquire everything that stands.

We have met many different revisions of the Bible since the 1990s why? Because now we have the technology and the internet so now we can better translate. Many translations have been made milder than the words of the first Bibles why. Because. We are in a time when people generally do not believe the Bible's words and would like to have it made more humane and more soft and round so that God becomes someone other than Hane is. Many translations give a wrong picture of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, which does not stand behind the Holy Spirit's inspiration behind all Bible translations, so someone will have the torment of the Bible out of the Bible but the place is still there for those not born on new by God the Lord Himself.

If you do not want to believe what God is saying about His Son Jesus Christ, or do not want what it says, or want to skip something described in it, then you are an unbeliever or in rebellion against what God has. said and done, and rebellion leads to hell as the eternal end goal God has prepared satan and his followers, an eternal torment.

Satan is to blame for sin, sickness, poverty. Evil and tyranny. etc. Into the world. It happened when Eve and Adam, standing next to Eve, rebelled against what God had said- You must not eat of the fruit on the tree there.

ER DET NOGENLUNDE SÅDAN DU HAR DET?

Der sidder helt sikkert mennesker ved møderne, som er helbredsmæssigt langt ude, og som har et skrigende behov for Guds indgriben. Og så møder jeg op med mine trivielle, alderdoms-relaterede smerter og problemer, som dog er reelle nok. De hører vel egentligt hjemme i den større sammenhæng i småtings-afdelingen.

På den ene side spørger jeg mig selv, om det er ”sundt” at gå til forbøn mange gange. På den anden side må jeg indrømme, at jeg aldrig har deltaget i et af dine møder, uden at jeg har modtaget en eller anden form for velsignelse. Måske ikke altid fysisk helbredelse; men så en eller anden form for åndelig velsignelse.

Naturligvis kunne jeg komme til møderne uden at gå op til forbøn – det har jeg faktisk overvejet flere gange. Men så kommer jeg til at tænke på, at hvis nu Jesus var fysisk og synligt til stede, så er jeg overbevist om, at alle mødedeltagerne ville løbe om kap for at komme op til ham først for at blive velsignet. Og jeg ved jo, at han er til stede – skønt usynligt, så dog virkeligt nok, så hvorfor dog ikke gå til ham, som man jo gør gennem forbønnen. Jeg føler nok, at jeg ville gå glip af noget, hvis jeg blev siddende på min plads.

Jeg tænker også på og oplever faktisk, at i min alder står helbreds-problemerne nærmest i kø for at overfalde én. Men jeg skal bestemt ikke klage, og det fordi jeg hele tiden bliver helbredt af Jesus. Nå, det blev en længere smøre.

SVAR

Mange har brug for at bede sammen

Jesus siger i Matthæus-evangeliet kapitel 18, vers 19: ” Jeg siger jer altså: Alt, hvad to af jer her på jorden bliver enige om at bede om, det skal de få af min himmelske fader.”

KAN MAN MISBRUGE FORBØN?

Som udgangspunkt, NEJ!

Men en forbedrer forventer af kristne, at de også har bedt for sig selv om helbredelse, inden de kommer til forbøn.

Der er nogen der ikke beder for sig selv af forskellige årsager.

Nogle beder ikke for sig selv, fordi de ikke forstår at bede, og fordi de aldrig har lært det. De kommer til møderne på grund af sygdom. De misbruger ikke forbønnen. For det er syge, som kommer til møderne uden nogen kristen baggrund.

Hvis man endelig skal tale om misbrug, så er det fx: hvis kristne, som selv kender bønnens vej, kommer til forbøn for en nemheds skyld. Så behøver de nemlig ikke selv at bede om helbredelse. Det lader de forbederen om. Herved overlader de så også ansvaret for deres helbredelse helt og fuldt til forbederen. Det er ikke nogen god måde. De er heldigvis også de få. Men det forekommer. Alligevel, de er ikke misbruger af forbønnen. For de har også brug for forbøn og for hjælp.

Der er jo noget i kristendommen, de ikke helt forstår. Nemlig det: at tage ansvar.

Hvis du har det som vi begyndte med, da hører til dem, der har brug for en eller flere at stå sammen med i bøn/forbøn. Dig omtaler Jesus i Matthæus-evangeliet kapitel 18, vers 19 med ordene:Jeg siger jer altså: Alt, hvad to af jer her på jorden bliver enige om at bede om, det skal de få af min himmelske far.

Og videre i vers 20 taler Jesus om noget, nemlig om hans nærvær hos os i møderne: For hvor to eller tre er forsamlet i mit navn, der er jeg midt iblandt dem.

Der tales jo om, alderdoms-relaterede smerter og problemer, som nogen henfører til småtings-afdelingen.

Vi tror, at Jesus vil være vores store læge lige så længe, vi skal være her på jorden.

Han vil være læge for de 14-årige lige så vel som for de 100-årige. Løfterne i Bibelen, om at Herren vil være vores læge, gælder nemlig alle.

I Matthæus-evangeliet kap. 11, vers 28 siger Jesus:

Kom til mig, alle I, som slider jer trætte og bærer tunge byrder, og jeg vil give jer hvile.

Læg mærke til, der står alle med tunge byrder. Sygdom er i sandhed en tung byrde.
Også for dig, selvom du taler om småtings-afdelingen.

Vi tror ikke på, at Gud straffer os nu med modgang.

Mange har søvn problemer. Med alle mulige tanker som myldrer i hovedet, især om natten. Det medfører, at man døjer med at sove.

Før sov man trygt og roligt hver nat.

Den gode nattesøvn er forsvundet. Nætterne er blevet forfærdeligt lange. Det skete også af og til tidligere, at det en enkelt nat kunne knibe med nattesøvnen. Men nu er det nat efter nat. Måske er vi stadig i den mørke tid, og synes, mørket i naturen udenfor er ved at smitte af på ens sind. Og man håber ikke, at man er ved at få en depression. Søvnløse nætter er noget ondt noget.

Luk ikke mørket ind, brug søvnløse timer til forbøn

Det er underligt med os mennesker: vi tager for det meste vores goder som noget selvfølgeligt.

At vi er sunde og raske? – Ja, hvad skulle vi ellers være.

De fleste ser det også som noget selvfølgeligt, at man har råd til at anskaffe sig det meste af, hvad man har lyst til.

Det selvfølgelige bliver let noget, der hverken gør os undrende eller taknemmelige. Sådan har vi det nok også med hensyn til en god nattesøvn.

Vi har nok af og til hørt mennesker klage over, at de sover dårligt om natten. Men det er ikke rigtigt gået op for os, at det er en gave med en god nats søvn. Det indser vi først, når vi ligger og ikke kan sove. Og især når det ikke bare en enkelt nat, men nat efter nat.

En nat kan være forfærdelig lang, når man ikke kan sove.

Dog sover man nok lidt af og til i nattens løb. Måske mere end man er klar over, og det er godt det samme. En ældre kvinde klagede sig, at nu havde hun ikke sovet i mere end to år. Hvis det var tilfældet, så ville hun være død nu. Så ville det i hvert fald være et kæmpe mirakel, at hun kunne stå på sine ben.

Sagen er som sagt, at man sover nok lidt af og til i løbet af den søvnløse nat, ofte mere end man tror. Men alligevel står det for én, som om man har ligget vågen praktisk talt hele natten. Og når morgenen melder sig, er man sløj og uoplagt hele den næste dag. Søvnløse nætter er ikke blot drøje at komme igennem. De er også farlige. Tankerne går så let deres egne negative veje i trætheds-tilstanden.

Den onde prøver at få mørket udenfor til at gøre os negative overfor Gud og andre mennesker. Men Jesus er vores lys i mørket. Brug de søvnløse nætter til at bede Gud velsigne alle dem, du tænker på. Nattens mørke udenfor kan så let blive til et mørke inden i os. Her skal vi passe på. Den onde vil angribe os med fordømmelse og med alle mulige negative tanker om Gud og om menneskerne omkring os.

Godt, at vi da har Jesu navn som det lys, der skinner for os i mørket. Det lys må kong David have oplevet, for han skriver i Salme 63: min mund lovpriser dig med jublende læber, når jeg på mit leje husker dig og tænker på dig i natte-timerne. For du er blevet min hjælp, og jeg jubler i dine vingers skygge. Min sjæl hænger ved dig, og din højre hånd holder mig fast.

Ligger man lysvågen, så kommer man let i tanker om mennesker, om arbejdskammerater, om nær og fjern familie og om mennesker, vi løb på den foregående dag. Eller alt det man har oplevet gennem livet kører som mikset film inde i hovedet på èn. Påkald Jesu navn ind over dem alle.

Det gør dig måske ikke jublende glad; men Gud vil komme til dig. Det er sikkert.

Lad forbønnens tjeneste få en plads hos dig i de søvnløse nætter. Lad Gud gøre dig til sin medarbejder gennem nattens tjeneste i bøn. Da vil Gud bruge din søvnløshed til velsignelse for dig og for andre.

Ofte viser bøn og forbøn sig at være den bedste medicin mod søvnløshed.

Noget der også er godt mod søvnløshed er at tage et vers fra bibelen og begynde at takke for det eller bare bede.

ENGLISH

IS IT SOMEWHERE YOU HAVE IT?

There are certainly people sitting at the meetings, who are far from healthy, and who are in dire need of God's intervention. And then I come up with my trivial, age-related pain and problems, which are real enough. They really belong in the larger context of the small things department.

On the one hand, I wonder if it is "healthy" to go to prayer many times. On the other hand, I must admit that I never attended one of your meetings without receiving some kind of blessing. Maybe not always physical healing; but then some kind of spiritual blessing.

Of course, I could come to the meetings without going to prayer - I have actually considered that several times. But then I come to think that if now Jesus was physically and visibly present, then I am convinced that all the meeting participants would run to come up to him first to be blessed. And I know that he is present - although invisible, yet real enough, so why not go to him, as you do through prayer. I feel like I would miss something if I was seated in my seat.

I also think about and actually feel that at my age, the health problems are almost in line to assault one. But I certainly should not complain, and that is because I am constantly healed by Jesus. Well, it became a longer smear.

REPLY

Many need to pray together

Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 18, verse 19: "I say unto you, therefore, whatever two of you on earth agree to pray, they shall receive it from my heavenly Father."

CAN AN ABUSE OF PRAYER?

Basically, NO!

But an enhancer expects Christians to pray for healing for themselves before they intercede.

There is someone who does not pray for himself for various reasons.

Some do not pray for themselves because they do not understand how to pray and because they have never learned it. They come to the meetings because of illness. They do not abuse the intercession. For it is the sick who come to the meetings without any Christian background.

For example, if one is to talk about abuse, it is, for example: if Christians, who themselves know the way of prayer, come to intercession for the sake of convenience. Then they do not have to ask for healing themselves. They let the intercessor know. In doing so, they also entrust the responsibility of their healing completely to the intercessor. That's not a good way. Fortunately, they are also the few. But it seems. Still, they are not abusers of intercession. For they also need intercession and help.

After all, there is something in Christianity that they do not quite understand. Namely, that: to take responsibility.

If you have what we started with then belong to those who need one or more to join in prayer / intercession. You refer to Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 18, verse 19 with the words: I say to you, therefore, all that two of you here on earth agree to pray for, they will receive from my heavenly Father.

And further in verse 20, Jesus speaks of something, namely of His presence with us in the meetings: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am in the midst of them.

After all, there is talk of age-related pain and problems that someone attributes to the small things department.

We believe that Jesus will be our great physician just as long as we have to be here on earth.

He will be a doctor for the 14-year-olds as well as for the 100-year-old. The promises in the Bible that the Lord will be our physician apply to everyone.

In the Gospel of Matthew chapter 11, verse 28, Jesus says:

Come to me, all you who wear you tired and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

Notice, everyone is burdened with heavy burdens. Illness is, in truth, a heavy burden.

Also for you, even if you talk about the small things department.

We do not believe that God is punishing us now with adversity.

Many people have sleep problems. With all sorts of thoughts like the jumble of the head, especially at night. This means that you delay sleeping.

Before, one slept safely and quietly every night.

The good night's sleep has disappeared. The nights have been terribly long. It also happened from time to time that a single night could interfere with the night's sleep. But now it's night after night. Maybe we are still in the dark time, and think the darkness of nature outside is about to throw off on one's mind. And you do not hope to have a depression. Sleepless nights are a bad thing.

Do not let darkness in, spend sleepless hours praying

It's weird about us humans: we mostly take our goods as something of course.

That we are healthy and healthy? - Yes, what else should we be.

Most people also see it as a matter of course that you can afford to get most of what you want.

Of course, it easily becomes something that does not make us wonder or grateful. That's how we feel about a good night's sleep too.

We have sometimes heard people complain that they sleep poorly at night. But it has not really occurred to us that it is a gift with en good night's sleep. We only realize this when we lie down and can't sleep. And especially when it's not just a single night, but night after night.

A night can be terribly long when you can't sleep.

However, you do sometimes sleep a little during the night. Maybe more than you realize, and it's well the same. An elderly woman complained that now she had not slept for more than two years. If that were the case, then she would be dead by now. Then at least it would be a huge miracle that she could stand on her legs.

The thing is, as I said, you probably sleep a little during the sleepless night, often more than you think. But it still stands for one, as if you have been awake practically all night. And when morning dawns, you are silly and unloved the next day. Sleepless nights are not just delays to get through. They are also dangerous. The thoughts so easily go their own negative ways in the fatigue state.

The evil one tries to get the darkness outside to make us negative towards God and other people. But Jesus is our light in the dark. Spend those sleepless nights asking God to bless all you think of. The darkness of the night outside can so easily turn into a darkness within us. Here we have to take care. The evil one will attack us with condemnation and with all sorts of negative thoughts about God and about the people around us.

It is good that we have the name of Jesus as the light that shines before us in the dark. That light must have been experienced by King David, for he writes in Psalm 63: My mouth praises you with cheering lips when I remember my hire and think of you in the night hours. For you have become my help and I rejoice in the shadow of your wings. My soul is hanging by you and your right hand is holding me.

If you lie awake, you easily come to mind about people, about workmates, about close and distant relatives and about people we ran on the previous day. Or all that one has experienced throughout life runs like a mixed movie inside one's head. Invite Jesus' name over them all.

It might not make you cheerfully happy; but God will come to you. That is for sure.

Let the service of intercession get a place with you during those sleepless nights. Let God make you His servant through the night service in prayer. Then God will use your insomnia to bless you and others.

Often, prayer and intercession prove to be the best remedy for insomnia.

Something that is also good about insomnia is to take a verse from the Bible and start thanking for it or just praying.
