Matthew 16:19"

<< < (2/3) > >>

John from Kentucky:
Further perspective.

Three Apostles, Peter and the two brothers James and John, were set apart from the other Apostles.

It was these three who witnessed the vision of the Transfiguration of Jesus on the mount.

It was these three who Jesus took to be with Him the night before His death.

Peter is always listed first of the three.  James was murdered soon after Jesus' death and resurrection; he was the first Apostle killed.

As the leader, Peter was used to gather together the New Testament scriptures, which he began to do before his death in the early to mid 60's A.D.  Paul sent Peter certain of his letters, which Peter declared to be scriptures, under inspiration of the Holy Spirit.  2 Peter 3:16.

Paul was killed first, then Peter.  It was left to John then to complete and assemble the New Testament scriptures, which he did by approximately the end of the 1st century A.D.

The keys of the Kingdom---the New Testament scriptures, which explain Old Covenant scriptures--which together are the written Word of God, which reveals Jesus the Word, Who reveals and witnesses the Truth of God.

Before Yahshua stated this he told Peter His FATHER had revealed to him who he was.....and before that to beware of the leavened teaching of the pharisees and scribes.
This is a blatant point to what the religious have not perceived for millinea.They search the scriptures thinking in THEM they have life yet fail to come to Yahshua of whom they are written.It is right in front of them yet they can't see it.

The pharisee wanted to see a sign from heaven that harmonized with their religion.The disciples failed to see that was leaven so Yahshua asked them point blank... WHO am I.None of them knew ..including Peter.Did Peter search the scriptures to say what he said.......

The Pharisees and scribe question was on the same line as ... "when does the Kingdom of God come"...Yahshua told them.. without observation because it is IN your midst.

These answers have been laid at the feet of everyone who reads the scripture yet they continue to search the scriptures thinking that IN them they will find life.Yahshua clearly said it is IN your midst and Peter HEARD it from the Father.That is BINDING and loosing.THAT is the Keys to the Kingdom....that is HOW to GET IN.

Faith comes by HEARING (perception) and hearing by the word of God....the religious have turned that into the leaven of the pharisees.The truth is....The Father "unveils" it.It is ALWAYS there.He only reveals it to whom he wills.We can search all we like but will never find it even though we think we have.

The Pharisees and scribe thought they were clever and wise because they could decipher  the scriptures yet Yahshua said they were BLIND.He later said unless you change and become as a little child you CANNOT enter in.He clearly told Peter it is ALL revealed through God the Father TALKING directly to YOU..that is Abba Father.....that is binding and loosing..not vain heathen incantations of "In the NAME of Jesus I command you to be BOUND.......blah blah blah"..religious foolishness.

Yahshua  rightly said "oh ye of little faith did you not know I wasn't talking of "bread".The foundation "stone" is revelation from the Father...period.There is no need to search any further.When God wants you to know something it will be known ..and if not ...it won't...bind and loose.

Hello,

This is from a post from Heidi from a while back:


--- Quote from: Dave in Tenn on January 23, 2009, 11:08:18 AM ---Heidi, just a little bit extra.  The ISV and Young's Literal translation agree more with the CLV.

 "Verily, I am saying to you, Whatsoever you should be binding on the earth shall be those things having been bound in the heavens, and whatsoever you should be loosing on the earth shall be those loose in heaven."

The KJV implies that the binding and loosing begins on earth.  The others say that what is bound or loosed on earth has already been bound or loosed in heaven.  Doesn't that match the model prayer, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it IS in heaven."  It's about, then, being in agreement with God, not (as you already understand) in changing God's mind.

As I said, just a bit extra.

I could be mistaken but, I thought I recalled Ray saying the same thing at one point, but I don't have the time right now to go searching for where he said that.

The only thing I found regarding the subject of being "already bound" is from this email exchange:

Anyway, that's all I got.  :) 

I enjoyed reading the other responses.

Thank you all for your responses.   :)

Alex, it does make it a little clearer when the tense is changed; I still don't totally grasp the meaning after reading all the responses so I will continue to meditate on it until God turns my light on  :-\
