    I was Catholic all my life and never understood what salvation meant. If God had not opened my eyes I would still be out there satisfying the cravings of the flesh, following church traditions instead of following Jesus. Our sinful hearts don't stand a chance accepting Jesus as Savior unless God grants us repentance and open our spiritually dead eyes. NOTHING good comes out of us, its all to His Glory and Praise, He truly is a Sovereign Merciful God.

      I have a friend who was Jehovah's Witnesses. I can tell now why he always lived in fear
      They don't believe Jesus is the Son of God but an angel who calls himself God. That is a very bad thing to believe, Because If Jesus was just an angel calling God wouldn't what he was doing be similar to Lucifer,? That is how dangerous their thinking believe. They believe only the elect are going to Heaven, They think the number 144,000 represents them in Revelation 14… But it clearly says Jews. of course they have their own Bible translation.. But that too much information. So elders type the sermons and tell the sheep to follow only that, They basically told people not to read the Word but the sermon would of been an eye waking situation for me. But he had been in that cult for years ,

The joy and happiness I have with the rest of my family and 9 grandchildren Worshipping our Lord Jesus does not ease the hell of the 1 with 4 of my other grandchildren estranged.

    I don’t think Jesus was afraid of the physical pain when he prayed for the cup to pass from him .... he knew what was coming and always knew .. nothing on earth could shake him from God’s will... He came to do it. I think he didn’t want God to turn his back on him when enduring our sin on the cross which was necessary according to God’s will as stated in Isaiah when It says that it pleased God to crush him for our sins in order to restore peace between humanity and God ....For a moment, Jesus would be absent of God’s love... the cross is the only time God turned his back on Jesus and separated himself from Jesus and withdrew the amazing love he felt from our father..... God sacrificed him. Not the Roman guards. They were acting on God’s behalf. Jesus wasn’t afraid of the Romans or anything else...I think Jesus was afraid of the impending absence of his fathers love while on the cross..... separation from God.... not the physical death .... it’s the only time they had been separated since before the beginning of time ..... I can’t imagine being separated from Jesus’ love. Many saints gladly and happily died and were tortured for Jesus, singing praises on the way to being burned alive ...it’s God’s love that Jesus was afraid of being without..... in my opinion.... but I could be wrong, he could have been afraid of the horrible death... but I don’t think he was.

    Matthew 20: 22 ¶ But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
    Isaiah 51:
    19 These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
    20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
    21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
    22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again
    Jeremiah 25:
    13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
    14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
    15 ¶ For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
    16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
    17 ¶ Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me
    Obadiah 1:
    15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
    16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been
    Matthew 26: 39 ¶ And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
    42 ¶ He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
    44 ¶ And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
    Psalm 75: 8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
    Revelation 14:
    9 ¶ And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
    10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb
    11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
    Revelation 16: 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
    Ezekiel 23:
    30 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
    31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.
    32 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.
    33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
    34 Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
    35 ¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms
    Example: America is well on her way to filling her cup with sin, wrath, and judgment, a judgment that will ultimately lead to her collapse. Every baby that is slaughtered on the altar of convenience, every sexual dalliance that goes unrepented of, every pornographic web site established by lecherous, greedy men are but more and more drops in the filling of this cup.
    2 Corinthians 5:
    21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

    Cup Of Covenant Salvation
    I should add that “the cup” is also used as a symbol for experiencing God’s salvation (Psalm 116:13; and then in the New Testament in reference to the cup as part of the Last Supper and Communion).
    Jesus endured the wrath of God (drank the cup of God’s wrath) so that our sins could be forgiven and so that we may drink of the cup of salvation -- symbolized when we take the cup at communion).
    In Mark 14:39 and also John 18:10 drinking the cup is still viewed as future, and yet Jesus says this after Gethsemane.
    Further, Jesus says that the cup symbolized the “New Covenant in My blood” (Luke 22:20). For me, that settles it.
    Our Lord drank the cup of God’s wrath when He shed His blood, the blood of the New Covenant, on the cross of Calvary.
    He dreaded doing so at Gethsemane, but He experienced God’s wrath and separation (Matthew 27:46) on the cross.
    There is a sense in which our Lord suffered throughout His earthly life, living in a sinful world, with sinful people (Matthew 17:17; Hebrews 5:7-8), but that is another story.
    I would add in conclusion that a study of “the cup” in the entire Bible may enrich our experience when we partake of communion.

      @DanielDaniel-jj3ny 6 років тому +1

      Bonnie Sue John baptized with water but Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit. It was God the Holy Spirit working in Jesus to fulfill all things. This is why Jesus was baptized, to fulfill all things, even though He had no sins. You see, if you're going to ask people to do things then you yourself must do them also. Our baptism is one of the first acts of obedience that we do in order to fulfill all things. Baptism is a believer's baptism where the person understands and knows that they are going under the water and being cleansed from their sins and crucified with Christ. We are then raised out of the water in a newness of life showing public demonstration that we are now no longer belonging to ourselves, but have submitted to Christ. This is not the justification process. It is God who regenerates a heart and gives life to a person's spirit which then causes a person to act in faith. Our Act of obedience is part of the sanctification process. Baptism therefore is one of the first acts of obedience. It was God the Father who bore Witness and sent God the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove to show His approval and that in Jesus He was well pleased. So then in Jesus' baptism it was a combination of the trinity being God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit bearing Witness.

      How does a person, who calls them self a christian, support black lives matter, which was founded by communists? Communism and Christianity and Islam cannot exist together in peace. Jim Jones used scripture verses to pretend to be christian and then twisted those verses to fit his own narrative of social justice, just like John Piper does. 1 Cor 5:11 "But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral, covetous, idolator, reviler, drunkard, or a swindler---not even to eat with such a one." "Gal 3:3 " Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?"

      With best intentions, be careful Jeffrey. You're obviously misunderstanding some context and then to go on and publicly slander... especially someone that God has raised to this level, is scripturally dangerous to you - in the extreme. Piper has no endorsement of ill-willed demonstration of abuses of rights. For the most part, he intentionally stays out of political issues, so your credibility is suspect. Granted, he doesn't land with what could be called the sharp right, but even I as a political junkie, I have come to pretty much distance myself from it because of the cynicism that it brings around the environment and climate. The the Christian ranks of the Republican party are actually overzealous in their exuberance for currently held positions, and when you have large-congregation leaders and institutions approaching sycophantic displays of endearment, it displays a wavering in moral rigor that is a confirmation of disingenuousness that the liberals whail away at anyway.
      Piper does stay more into the humanitarian interests of politics, which a pastor should.
      As I said, just a word of caution because the direction of your implications is towards a touch of sensationalism... But these things are always touchy.
      I'm a full-on capitalist Republican conservative, but there are certain voices on our side that traffic more in condescension than in the hope of the conservative message.
      The state of future American politics does not seem inspiring... But I know liberals can never be pleased. But you're missing the heart of what this message and indeed Piper lives by... We all need to do as the Bible says and make our calling and election sure.
      Blessings
