Bruising the head was directed toward both Eve (woman) and the serpent (which Satan had embodied in the Garden). By bruising the head meant that the offspring of woman would bruise or crush that of Satan's armies. Look at mankind (the offspring of the seed God planted in the garden with Eve) ; the born again can spiritually give Satan a black eye. God has used the elect to have this ongoing division of Glory (soul winning) which bruises the head of Satan's plan (to lead the lost into destruction, death and an eternity in Hell should they not be saved before physical death). Think on this with happiness -- the sheep (us) are those that bruise the head and when Jesus comes back during the 2nd coming...the head (Satan) will eventually be destroyed.
Bruising the heel is that the minions of Satan would attempt to strike at the seed of woman. Anyone who does the work of Satan in the wicked ways of this world and tries to pervert those who serve God are trying to strike the heel. If a cobra struck the heel of a person -- the bite would likely be fatal. The same is of the bite/strike of Satan. He'll try to strike the heel of the seed of woman. In Matthew 12:34 Jesus even refers to the Pharisees as a breed of vipers. Why? Because they were striking the heel of those who came to listen to Jesus and those seeking redemption (Salvation) from sin by Salvation.
Obviously, with the Holy Spirit empowering us as a member of the Godhead that is the only way to cast out demons. That being said; several factors need to be present for this to occur; and for a person to remain free. As Christ said; when a wicked spirit is cast out and finds where it came from clean; it brings 7 spirits more wicked than itself. ( Matthew 12:38-39). This should be a warning not to think in our own efforts we can "clean house" as it were.
Therefore; we have several things that need to occur. First of all; the Lord works where and when He chooses. There is no limit to what He can do; but He chooses where and when to act. A Damascus road experience can occur; but usually when someone is determined to live in rebellion and deliberately worship the powers of darkness God often will leave them to hit rock bottom; and for Satan to rend them so that they realize that they indeed are slaves to the Devil rather than having any benefit to supernatural powers he offers. Repentance needs to be present for a deliverance to be effective; or clearly the person can have worse things happen later. The Word of God and those filled with the Spirit are often enough for someone to be delivered who are seeking it. Those who do this shouldn't be as the magicians and be lovers of money rather than a willing vessel for His Work. Prayer and deliverance surely is important in the right manner; and with the correct gospel. It is the power of sin to have a legal hold on someone that causes even believers to be compromised. We are all lost in sin; but Satan has no power over our eternal destiny. To be worthy of being His children is more important than the fact that demons are subject to Him ( Luke 10:20). The Holiness of God is abhorred by all fallen angels and demons who are permanently removed from His presence without hope of restoration. Truly God rules over all of His Creation and His authority and power are unequalled. Agape. Rich P

demon - The Modern English word demon derives from the Middle English demon: from medieval Latin demon, from Latin daemon, from Greek daimn 'deity, genius'; in demon; also from Latin daemonium 'lesser or evil spirit', from Greek daemonion, diminutive of daimn.
devils - The Modern English word devil derives from the Middle English devel, from the Old English dofol, that in turn represents an early Germanic borrowing of the Latin diabolus.
The KJV translation is not a word for word or uniquely and infallible inspired representation of the Greek New Testament, and we should be cautious in choosing which English words in it we want to make our hills to die on without first consulting the Greek.
I normally don't like to add to anything so well stated if there's no improvement.
This is just a side note.
Jesus is referred to as the "Son of Man" 88 times in the New Testament. In fact, Son of Man is the primary title Jesus used when referring to Himself Matthew 12:32; 13:37; Luke 12:8; John 1:51). The only use of Son of Man in a clear reference to Jesus, spoken by someone other than Jesus, came from the lips of Stephen as he was being martyred Acts 7:56.
Son of God.
Son of Man.
These are both titles of Our Blessed Saviour. The title Son of God, emphasised His Divinity, and that He is "part" of the Trinity, and God Himself. The Title Son of Man is from Daniel and emphasises His humanity and His messianic purpose in coming to save us, as it points back to the prophecy, which it fulfills. Rapture included.
DOMINION, AUTHORITY, POWER in the Holy Spirit - In Reply - 3 years ago
Jesus did not become the Son of Man until he was born HUMAN.
The teaching is, that earth and creation was made for man (translates as male or female).
Only Humans had Been given DOMINION; power and authority to use it. Satan stole it when Adam and Eve sinned. Satan was created. He had no authority to be on earth as Human. His first form was as a serpent. His fallen angelic form, took possession of that serpent to deceive the humans.
Jesus Took Back the dominion ( Genesis 3:15) from Satan at the CROSS. He crushed Satan's head (power).
Please understand this. Satan has no authority or power over BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS.
We don't have to lay down and suffer Satans threats or oppression. He cannot get inside of Believers in Jesus. We have the Holy Spirit indwelling inside of our born again spirits given to us through Jesus.
We have the authority and the power to command Satan to GET OUT of our lives, our family, our homes, job opportunities, relatives. Our prayers have power, but we have to accept it and use it. Our relationship to Jesus needs to become close. We can only do that by getting into the Bible and soaking up scriptures for ourself.
If someone hands you a billion dollars, and you only use it, one hamburger and French fries at a time__you can't see what Jesus provided for you. Scriptures are your weapons. ( Matthew 12:43-45). The evil spirits come back ever so often to see if you really meant for them to move out. Reaffirm As Needed. Ephesians 6: they are invisible, but when "all hell" breaks loose, in your world: it's time to fight back with your ARSENAL OF WEAPONS. Memorize the scriptures. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring them to your mind; in the heat of battle.
Walking free of hidden sun, or forgotten sin, can be dealt with at 1 John 1:9, 1 John 2:1-2 + 2:20. The Holy One is the Holy Spirit.
We are HUMANS and beloved of God. Let's walk in the provision Jesus purchased in Blood.
This chapter has the verse; amazingly of "loving your neighbor as yourself" (v. 18) from Christ's summarization of the law. This rule applies to the stranger as well (v. (v. 33-34). It also states in the previous verse that we are to "rebuke" our neighbor out of love. It reminds us of the N.T. verse "He scourges every one He loves." There are many exhortations here for behaviors appealing to justice such as not despising the deaf (v. 14); keeping food in the fields for the poor and stranger to glean (v. 8-10); and just measures and weights (v. 36). These are all virtues that improve a society whose individuals are under such a mandate.
The exhortation to fear our mother and father (v. 3) surely raises a valid point as to why the lack thereof results in a society like we have in the U.S. today. As to the second part of the verse and keeping the Sabbath; as the "Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath" today ( Matthew 12:8) the family which honors the Lord and teaches their children correctly will set a standard they will not soon forget. Truly, the quote of Billy Graham that "the family that prays together stays together" is an extrabiblical statement that has validity and is worth consideration.
There are other warnings here once again about not worshipping idols; and images (v. 4) and being involved with wizards (v. 31). Various other rituals associated with this are mentioned such as cutting corners of hair (v. 27). Rules about relations with bondmaids and prostituting ones daughter are here as well.
There are other rules about when to eat from fruit trees as well. It is clear that all things are related from that illustration; and seemingly unrelated things such as the bounty of a harvest are tied in with obedience to God with the circumcision analogy of trees 3 years or younger (v. 27). These statutes relate to breeding cattle and clothing not having mixed constituents relate to ceremonial laws of purity to stand in His Presence and live.
Hello Sherry. Could you be thinking of the unpardonable sin? But you could also be correct in stating it as the "unparrelable sin", for there is no sin, according to Jesus, that can run parallel to this particular one or even surpass it.
In Matthew 12:24-32, Jesus was admonishing the Pharisees for attributing the Work of the Holy Spirit to be the work of Beelzebub (Satan). In fact, Jesus states that every sin, even blasphemy, can be forgiven by God, as God looks on that repentant heart confessing their errors & sins. But for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, this sin is unforgiveable. What then can such a sin be that can never be forgiven?
Of course, the Jew would never blaspheme God, indeed, will not even say His Name lest they mispronounce it & offend God by sinning. The same Jew had no problems accusing Jesus for many things such as, His claims, His pronouncements against their evil deeds, for bringing the real message of the Law instead of the religious leaders weighty additions to it, etc. All these accusations & hatred, even the killing of Jesus, God can & will forgive. But when that Jew (or, anyone), sees the evidence & Power of God in a person's life (such as miracles, casting out of devils, work of the Spirit in re-creation of the heart, etc.), & then affirm that what they see is not of God's Spirit, but of the Devil, then that person has destroyed the only hope he has of forgiveness & redemption. Such a person cannot be saved, for he has put forward his final word that the Work of Jesus by the Holy Spirit is done by the power of Satan & his spirit. That demonstrates a total rejection of Jesus' Life, Work, & Sonship. And when that happens, a person, so gripped by satanic deception, can never be saved (nor will he seek it), as he rejects the Spirit's evidence clearly seen in the Work of the Father & in the Person of the Son.
Matthew 12:31,32, note the context Matthew 12, whole chapter in context.
The teachers of the Laws of GOD were accusing Jesus of breaking the Sabbath because His disciples plucked corn to eat Matthew 12:1-2, & then waited to accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath, if Jesus would heal a man. Matthew 12:10-14,
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1John 4:20
How can I truly love my brother?
Lord help me to look at everyone through eyes of love. Love covers a multitude of transgressions.
Help me to look at everyone through eyes of mercy! The same eyes of mercy you look at me with.
Help me to love my brother and my enemy alike.
We may be spending eternity together! :-))
This is my sincere desire Lord.
Matthew 12:50
(Who is my brother?)
1 John 3:11-17
(Loving my brother)
1John is an amazing book of the Bible. Short read. Only 5 chapters. But I highly recommend it!
I'd like to offer an alternative viewpoint to the absent with body present with Lord phrase.
First, it doesn't say that in the Bible. That phrase is actually from 2 Corinthians 5:8 where Paul said he would "rather" be absent from the body, and present with the Lord. He didn't say in 100% of all cases when people die that 100% of the time they will be "immediately" with the Lord, regardless. If it was the second phrase it would be clear what it means, but all it means is Paul stating his preference. It certainly doesn't mean Hitler and other mass murderers are with the Lord right now, simply because of this one verse.
Second, people often quote the verse about the man on the cross that Jesus said would be in "paradise" on that day as support. But Jesus didn't say 100% of all people, from this moment onward will 100% go to heaven, and zero people going to hell. And the word paradise is not necessarily the same as heaven. Some believe this is a waiting area for the dead.
Lastly, there are many more Bible verses indicating that the dead are 'sleeping' and are awaiting the Lord to meet in the air and then face judgment. It says all will be judged, not just some. So, believing people go immediately to heaven without waiting on the Lord, and skipping judgment doesn't align with the other scriptures.
Matthew 12:36, 2 Corinthians 5:10, Revelation 20:11-15 - People are all judged on the same day. Lots of people seen in the same place.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says the dead will rise and those living will meet the Lord in the air. Would it make sense for someone to go heaven, then back to earth to rise up, then back again to heaven?
When people die they 'sleep' awaiting the Lord's return as it indicates in Daniel 12:2, Job 14:12, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
LEARNING AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER - In Reply - 3 years ago
Matthew 12:12-29
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house [devils] and spoil his goods, except he first BIND the strong man (devil)?
and then he will spoil his house. (The devil must leave)
Jesus as a human being (legally) has dominion, power and all authority,
to bind Satan's works and the devils that follow him; and order them to go into outer darkness or dry places.
Christians are deputized by Jesus to walk in the same authority as Jesus. If we don't receive that, then Satan makes our lives difficult or a living hell.
My favorite go-to on that teaching is on YouTube= SEARCH
Charles Capps, AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER.
If we don't know what it is, we are kind of lost with our armor on ( Ephesians 6)
We can do the same things as Jesus did on earth. He wants us to learn this.
Put aside all the non-violence stuff public school taught you; and learn how to defeat your enemies. If you remember anything else, THE BLOOD OF JESUS, will make the devils run!!
There are many sins! Idolatry, Fornication, Witchcraft, Pride, etc... All of these sins fall under three areas LUST OF THE FLESH,LUST OF THE EYES, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE | 1 John 2:16|! They are not all classified as stealing! But what they are classified as are sins against a Holy and Righteous God AND transgression of the LAW | 1 John 3:4|!
With that said ALL the sins in God's Word minus one are forgivable...The only unforgivable sin in God's eyes is denying Christ Jesus! | Matthew 10:33|Jude 1:4 |Proverbs 30| Which is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost! | Matthew 12:31| This is saying that Christ Jesus did not die on the cross and send us the Comforter! The Holy Ghost is our Comforter!
We must be born again for our sins to be washed away | John 3:7 |
I noticed one of the comments state there are "7 deadly sins" God says ALL sin causes DEATH! | Romans 5:12| It says there in Romans that death passed upon ALL men! This is our physical death...But there is DEATH beyond our physical DEATH and that is an eternity in HELL the SECOND death this is spoken of in Revelation | Revelation 20:14| This second death is for those that have not been SAVED by the Grace of God through FAITH in Christ Jesus...causing BLASPHEMY of the HOLY GHOST!
David, I know it's hard to witness at work as far as talking openly with people about the Bible and Christ.
So I prayed for you that God would help you and fill you up with so much of the Holy Spirit that someone at work would be drawn to the Holy Spirit in you. That they would gravitate towards you, like a magnet.Without you ever having to say a word.
That you would be the vessel that ushers the spirit of God into their midst. I know they're watching you to see what it means to be a Christian. Let them feel your Jesus.
I'm getting blessed right now, I feel like this is the desire of my heart and my prayer for myself as well. And now I'm praying it for all of us!
In Jesus name Lord let us draw so near to You fill us with Your Holy Spirit Lord God Almighty. That Your Spirit would go forth from us and touch those around us. Draw them to us so we can share the life giving water. Make them thirsty and put the words of life in our hearts.
Because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
Hi Debbie Hendryx . Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. That means if you put your faith in him you have a constant Sabbath. The phrase "the Lord of the Sabbath" is found in Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, and Luke 6:5. In all three instances Jesus is referring to Himself as the Lord of the Sabbath or, as Mark records it, "The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath" ( Mark 2:28).
So the Sabbath is still in effect, but it is only made perfect when we accept Jesus.
Mathew Henry 1710 explains this very well in his comments he say's if a person is saved,but does not hang on to his salvation with God the father Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit in prayer keeping the faith through prayer.Then more demons will come than before! A personal relationship with God through Jesus is what to seek to keep the demons away through the Holy Spirit.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities in high places.
yes your pastor is teaching this right, Jesus is first begotten from the dead . meaning he once was dead. in order to die you have to go to hell. Also Jesus said he would have to go to hell and many verses confirm here are a few
Matthew 12:40 KJV - For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jonah 2:1-2 KJV - Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
Ephesians 4:9-10 KJV - (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Acts 2:24-27 KJV - Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
No one can come to the Father unless He draws Him first ( John 6:44). His sheep hear His voice ( John 10:27). I recommend that you read this book in particular to understand election. The god of this world has blinded the minds of men who don't believe ( 2 Cor. 4:4). Parables were hidden from the Pharisees; and only the Holy Spirit could reveal that Jesus was the Son of God ( Matthew 16:17). Once again the Father was the one who did the revealing.
The only unforgiveable sin was blasphemy of the Holy Spirit ( Matthew 12:31-32). This related to people seeing Christ's miracles and attributing them to Beezlebub (or Satan). Most people would when they saw His miracles think that he was a prophet; or good man as Peter indicated the general response was earlier when Christ asked who men thought He was. This is much like looking at the Sermon on the Mount and all those who Christ declared blessed and thinking somehow a person could be virtuous by doing a bunch of good works alone. Many are called; few are chosen ( Matthew 22:14). Satan of course will do many signs and wonders in Revelation 13 through the false prophet to draw men to worship the Antichrist. There are many evil spirits that are deceiving men today. When Christ did miracles; he would ask people at times to go back to the leaders to confirm the healing was genuine and be officially declared "clean".
Jesus asked the Pharisees which was harder; forgiving sins or healing ( Matthew 9:5). Jesus indeed did healings without preaching salvation many times; but he would say go and sin no more lest something worse happens to you to a man paralyzed most of his life ( John 5:14). This can be seen also with the woman about to be stoned ( John 8:11). In this; we can see that the Presence of the Holy Spirit Christ draws all men (that He has called and chosen) to Himself.
This is also true in Acts; the Apostles didn't beg to get more converts; people said what must I do to be saved ( Acts 16:30).

Precious friends, no one is "content/ignoring tons of scripture" that commands we be 'water baptized' Today, Under God's GRACE. We have "studied" Much, Prayerfully And Carefully, And Have Found ONLY "ONE Baptism" for Today, and it is NOT "water"! Link
We Must Be Very Careful not "to blaspheme The Holy Spirit" = (as the Jews did) "attributing The 'Work Of The Holy Spirit' unto men/Satan, Instead Of To God." Matthew 12:31; Mark 3:28-30 Correct?
Some 'May Be confused' so, Other "Confirming" studies are here
Anyone who live by the Spirit and cease from flesh have boundries established by the Holy Spirit and honor for God and reverence for the Exalted Christ Jesus. When Devil Woeshipers Witchies gang attacks and hit squads stalk a Christian, We are to demonstrate Gods Authority .Possed People have no interst in Love and make fun of it Manipulate loving peoples Sincarity , We must be sure to keep watch because the Devail is a Predator seeking to deour not establishing any loving relationships. Jesus told the Devail where to go he never barging with darkness and neither should we.
Dear "Lex", please understand that Gud is a forgiven God. And it is only one person who never will be forgiven. And that is who destroys and seduces the peoples, antichrist. ps.
Luke 12:10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Matthew 12:31
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Mark 11:26
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
And: Luke 17:4
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Luke 6:37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Its best to not judget at all becouse the God Himself is the only one who can Judge. It is for u important that u find your way in the scripture and hear what the Holy Ghost says.
He Never will take away a gift He have given. The gift is always flowing, like living water in your heart, our sin in the saved state. We shall confess our sins and be forgiven them? Thats why we never want too give The Holy Spirit sorrow!
He is not a Lord who gives and take back, u are His forever. So please dont turn back. But meet Him in your grief and judgmental thoughts. Come forth boldly with your transgressions and He and you will forgive the sin you have attached yourself to.
Come back to the calling He has called you to: And be blessed in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Have a realy good new year growing with the Only True and Righteous God Jesus Christ the Son of God and His Holy Spirit who understands all things in our hearts.
1 John 3:20
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21:Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, :)
There are writings outside the Bible, these two are mentioned in the Bible, the book of Enoch, Jude 1:14, the book of Jasher, Joshua 10:112 Samuel 1:18 but are they the original books, and there are the writings of Josephus.
Scripture does tell us Satan entered Judas, John 13:27, we see in Matthew 12:26 Jesus said, if Satan cast out Satan, suggests he could possess someone, but Mark writes the same conversation, he writes Jesus is speaking in parables, Mark 3:23.
In Daniel 8 not covering Media and Persia, Alexander the Great, and the four it is Antiochus went plundering to place himself above all including God, Isaiah 14:13 is a good description of his intent. He almost destroyed Jerusalem and the worship of God by Israel and placed the abomination in the temple, but he failed. Host of heaven in Paganism are the sun, moon, stars, and planets that is worshiped, but this is not about angels.
Demons and angels are not the same but if you are looking for scripture it is not in the Bible we have. Fallen angels are not in scripture just a definition that has been given the bad ones. Some angels left their first estate and are locked in chains of darkness (bottomless pit), 2 Peter 2:4Jude 1:6. They have a king, his name in Hebrew Abaddon, Greek Apollyon Revelation 9:1, the hell you speak of, in my understanding comes from Platonism and not scripture.
Revelation 12 that many places in the past but it is yet in the future, the battle is in heaven, so these angels still have access to heaven. When Satan and these angels are cast down to earth will be permanent because it says no more place is found in heaven, Revelation 12:8-12, my understanding this starts the 3.5 years of tribulation when Satan gives his seat, power, and authority to the beast.
There are evil beings on this earth 2 Corinthians 11:13-15Ephesians 6:12, but how they got here is not in scripture.
Just a little information, may it not add to your questions.
Bruising the heel is that the minions of Satan would attempt to strike at the seed of woman.

Therefore; we have several things that need to occur. First of all; the Lord works where and when He chooses. There is no limit to what He can do; but He chooses where and when to act. A Damascus road experience can occur; but usually when someone is determined to live in rebellion and deliberately worship the powers of darkness God often will leave them to hit rock bottom; and for Satan to rend them so that they realize that they indeed are slaves to the Devil rather than having any benefit to supernatural powers he offers. Repentance needs to be present for a deliverance to be effective; or clearly the person can have worse things happen later. The Word of God and those filled with the Spirit are often enough for someone to be delivered who are seeking it. Those who do this shouldn't be as the magicians and be lovers of money rather than a willing vessel for His Work. Prayer and deliverance surely is important in the right manner; and with the correct gospel. It is the power of sin to have a legal hold on someone that causes even believers to be compromised. We are all lost in sin; but Satan has no power over our eternal destiny. To be worthy of being His children is more important than the fact that demons are subject to Him ( Luke 10:20).

Matthew 7:22; Matthew 9:34; Matthew 10:8; Matthew 12:24,27,28; Mark 1:34,39; Mark 3:15,22; Mark 6:13; Mark 9:38; Mark 16:9,17; Luke 4:41; Luke 8:2,27,30,33,35,38; Luke 9:1,49; Luke 10:17; Luke 12:15,18,19,20; Luke 13:32; 1 Corinthians 10:20-21; 1 Timothy 4:1; James 2:19; Revelation 9:20.
demon - The Modern English word demon derives from the Middle English demon: from medieval Latin demon, from Latin daemon, from Greek daimn 'deity, genius'; in demon; also from Latin daemonium 'lesser or evil spirit', from Greek daemonion, diminutive of daimn.
devils - The Modern English word devil derives from the Middle English devel, from the Old English dofol, that in turn represents an early Germanic borrowing of the Latin diabolus.
The KJV translation is not a word for word or uniquely and infallible inspired representation of the Greek New Testament, and we should be cautious in choosing which English words in it we want to make our hills to die on without first consulting the Greek.
I fully agree with Jc.
I normally don't like to add to anything so well stated if there's no improvement.
This is just a side note.
Jesus is referred to as the "Son of Man" 88 times in the New Testament. In fact, Son of Man is the primary title Jesus used when referring to Himself Matthew 12:32; 13:37; Luke 12:8; John 1:51). The only use of Son of Man in a clear reference to Jesus, spoken by someone other than Jesus, came from the lips of Stephen as he was being martyred Acts 7:56.
Son of God.
Son of Man.
These are both titles of Our Blessed Saviour. The title Son of God, emphasised His Divinity, and that He is "part" of the Trinity, and God Himself. The Title Son of Man is from Daniel and emphasises His humanity and His messianic purpose in coming to save us, as it points back to the prophecy, which it fulfills. Rapture included.
God bless.
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, "Woman, behold thy son!"
The teaching is, that earth and creation was made for man (translates as male or female).
Only Humans had Been given DOMINION; power and authority to use it. Satan stole it when Adam and Eve sinned. Satan was created. He had no authority to be on earth as Human. His first form was as a serpent. His fallen angelic form, took possession of that serpent to deceive the humans.
Jesus Took Back the dominion ( Genesis 3:15) from Satan at the CROSS. He crushed Satan's head (power).
Please understand this. Satan has no authority or power over BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS.
We don't have to lay down and suffer Satans threats or oppression. He cannot get inside of Believers in Jesus. We have the Holy Spirit indwelling inside of our born again spirits given to us through Jesus.
We have the authority and the power to command Satan to GET OUT of our lives, our family, our homes, job opportunities, relatives. Our prayers have power, but we have to accept it and use it. Our relationship to Jesus needs to become close. We can only do that by getting into the Bible and soaking up scriptures for ourself.
If someone hands you a billion dollars, and you only use it, one hamburger and French fries at a time__you can't see what Jesus provided for you. Scriptures are your weapons. ( Matthew 12:43-45). The evil spirits come back ever so often to see if you really meant for them to move out. Reaffirm As Needed. Ephesians 6: they are invisible, but when "all hell" breaks loose, in your world: it's time to fight back with your ARSENAL OF WEAPONS. Memorize the scriptures. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring them to your mind; in the heat of battle.
Walking free of hidden sun, or forgotten sin, can be dealt with at 1 John 1:9, 1 John 2:1-2 + 2:20. The Holy One is the Holy Spirit.
We are HUMANS and beloved of God. Let's walk in the provision Jesus purchased in Blood.
Mishael
The exhortation to fear our mother and father (v. 3) surely raises a valid point as to why the lack thereof results in a society like we have in the U.S. today. As to the second part of the verse and keeping the Sabbath; as the "Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath" today ( Matthew 12:8) the family which honors the Lord and teaches their children correctly will set a standard they will not soon forget. Truly, the quote of Billy Graham that "the family that prays together stays together" is an extrabiblical statement that has validity and is worth consideration.
There are other warnings here once again about not worshipping idols; and images (v. 4) and being involved with wizards (v. 31). Various other rituals associated with this are mentioned such as cutting corners of hair (v. 27). Rules about relations with bondmaids and prostituting ones daughter are here as well.
There are other rules about when to eat from fruit trees as well. It is clear that all things are related from that illustration; and seemingly unrelated things such as the bounty of a harvest are tied in with obedience to God with the circumcision analogy of trees 3 years or younger (v. 27). These statutes relate to breeding cattle and clothing not having mixed constituents relate to ceremonial laws of purity to stand in His Presence and live.
In Matthew 12:24-32, Jesus was admonishing the Pharisees for attributing the Work of the Holy Spirit to be the work of Beelzebub (Satan). In fact, Jesus states that every sin, even blasphemy, can be forgiven by God, as God looks on that repentant heart confessing their errors & sins. But for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, this sin is unforgiveable. What then can such a sin be that can never be forgiven?
Of course, the Jew would never blaspheme God, indeed, will not even say His Name lest they mispronounce it & offend God by sinning. The same Jew had no problems accusing Jesus for many things such as, His claims, His pronouncements against their evil deeds, for bringing the real message of the Law instead of the religious leaders weighty additions to it, etc. All these accusations & hatred, even the killing of Jesus, God can & will forgive. But when that Jew (or, anyone), sees the evidence & Power of God in a person's life (such as miracles, casting out of devils, work of the Spirit in re-creation of the heart, etc.), & then affirm that what they see is not of God's Spirit, but of the Devil, then that person has destroyed the only hope he has of forgiveness & redemption. Such a person cannot be saved, for he has put forward his final word that the Work of Jesus by the Holy Spirit is done by the power of Satan & his spirit. That demonstrates a total rejection of Jesus' Life, Work, & Sonship. And when that happens, a person, so gripped by satanic deception, can never be saved (nor will he seek it), as he rejects the Spirit's evidence clearly seen in the Work of the Father & in the Person of the Son.
The teachers of the Laws of GOD were accusing Jesus of breaking the Sabbath because His disciples plucked corn to eat Matthew 12:1-2, & then waited to accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath, if Jesus would heal a man. Matthew 12:10-14,
Then Matthew 12:22-24,

How can I truly love my brother?
Lord help me to look at everyone through eyes of love. Love covers a multitude of transgressions.
Help me to look at everyone through eyes of mercy! The same eyes of mercy you look at me with.
Help me to love my brother and my enemy alike.
We may be spending eternity together! :-))
This is my sincere desire Lord.

1John is an amazing book of the Bible. Short read. Only 5 chapters. But I highly recommend it!
God bless you and keep you. :-).
I'd like to offer an alternative viewpoint to the absent with body present with Lord phrase.
First, it doesn't say that in the Bible. That phrase is actually from 2 Corinthians 5:8 where Paul said he would "rather" be absent from the body, and present with the Lord. He didn't say in 100% of all cases when people die that 100% of the time they will be "immediately" with the Lord, regardless. If it was the second phrase it would be clear what it means, but all it means is Paul stating his preference. It certainly doesn't mean Hitler and other mass murderers are with the Lord right now, simply because of this one verse.
Second, people often quote the verse about the man on the cross that Jesus said would be in "paradise" on that day as support. But Jesus didn't say 100% of all people, from this moment onward will 100% go to heaven, and zero people going to hell. And the word paradise is not necessarily the same as heaven. Some believe this is a waiting area for the dead.
Lastly, there are many more Bible verses indicating that the dead are 'sleeping' and are awaiting the Lord to meet in the air and then face judgment. It says all will be judged, not just some. So, believing people go immediately to heaven without waiting on the Lord, and skipping judgment doesn't align with the other scriptures.
Matthew 12:36, 2 Corinthians 5:10, Revelation 20:11-15 - People are all judged on the same day. Lots of people seen in the same place.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says the dead will rise and those living will meet the Lord in the air. Would it make sense for someone to go heaven, then back to earth to rise up, then back again to heaven?
When people die they 'sleep' awaiting the Lord's return as it indicates in Daniel 12:2, Job 14:12, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house [devils] and spoil his goods, except he first BIND the strong man (devil)?
and then he will spoil his house. (The devil must leave)
Jesus as a human being (legally) has dominion, power and all authority,
to bind Satan's works and the devils that follow him; and order them to go into outer darkness or dry places.
Christians are deputized by Jesus to walk in the same authority as Jesus. If we don't receive that, then Satan makes our lives difficult or a living hell.

Charles Capps, AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER.
If we don't know what it is, we are kind of lost with our armor on ( Ephesians 6)
We can do the same things as Jesus did on earth. He wants us to learn this.
Put aside all the non-violence stuff public school taught you; and learn how to defeat your enemies. If you remember anything else, THE BLOOD OF JESUS, will make the devils run!!
Keep them off your kids too.
There are many sins! Idolatry, Fornication, Witchcraft, Pride, etc... All of these sins fall under three areas LUST OF THE FLESH,LUST OF THE EYES, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE | 1 John 2:16|! They are not all classified as stealing! But what they are classified as are sins against a Holy and Righteous God AND transgression of the LAW | 1 John 3:4|!
With that said ALL the sins in God's Word minus one are forgivable...The only unforgivable sin in God's eyes is denying Christ Jesus! | Matthew 10:33| Jude 1:4 | Proverbs 30| Which is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost! | Matthew 12:31| This is saying that Christ Jesus did not die on the cross and send us the Comforter! The Holy Ghost is our Comforter!
We must be born again for our sins to be washed away | John 3:7 |
I noticed one of the comments state there are "7 deadly sins" God says ALL sin causes DEATH! | Romans 5:12| It says there in Romans that death passed upon ALL men! This is our physical death...But there is DEATH beyond our physical DEATH and that is an eternity in HELL the SECOND death this is spoken of in Revelation | Revelation 20:14| This second death is for those that have not been SAVED by the Grace of God through FAITH in Christ Jesus...causing BLASPHEMY of the HOLY GHOST!
So I prayed for you that God would help you and fill you up with so much of the Holy Spirit that someone at work would be drawn to the Holy Spirit in you. That they would gravitate towards you, like a magnet.Without you ever having to say a word.
That you would be the vessel that ushers the spirit of God into their midst. I know they're watching you to see what it means to be a Christian. Let them feel your Jesus.
I'm getting blessed right now, I feel like this is the desire of my heart and my prayer for myself as well. And now I'm praying it for all of us!
In Jesus name Lord let us draw so near to You fill us with Your Holy Spirit Lord God Almighty. That Your Spirit would go forth from us and touch those around us. Draw them to us so we can share the life giving water. Make them thirsty and put the words of life in our hearts.
Because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

I searched under wisdom & found these. Hopefully these are helpful in what you're looking for: I added a few additional.

Most verses on wisdom are how good & pleasant it is: Proverbs 19:8, Proverbs 23:4, Ecclesiastes 7:12,
Matthew 12:40 KJV - For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jonah 2:1-2 KJV - Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
Ephesians 4:9-10 KJV - (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Acts 2:24-27 KJV - Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
The only unforgiveable sin was blasphemy of the Holy Spirit ( Matthew 12:31-32). This related to people seeing Christ's miracles and attributing them to Beezlebub (or Satan). Most people would when they saw His miracles think that he was a prophet; or good man as Peter indicated the general response was earlier when Christ asked who men thought He was. This is much like looking at the Sermon on the Mount and all those who Christ declared blessed and thinking somehow a person could be virtuous by doing a bunch of good works alone. Many are called; few are chosen ( Matthew 22:14). Satan of course will do many signs and wonders in Revelation 13 through the false prophet to draw men to worship the Antichrist. There are many evil spirits that are deceiving men today. When Christ did miracles; he would ask people at times to go back to the leaders to confirm the healing was genuine and be officially declared "clean".
Jesus asked the Pharisees which was harder; forgiving sins or healing ( Matthew 9:5). Jesus indeed did healings without preaching salvation many times; but he would say go and sin no more lest something worse happens to you to a man paralyzed most of his life ( John 5:14). This can be seen also with the woman about to be stoned ( John 8:11). In this; we can see that the Presence of the Holy Spirit Christ draws all men (that He has called and chosen) to Himself.
This is also true in Acts; the Apostles didn't beg to get more converts; people said what must I do to be saved ( Acts 16:30).

We Must Be Very Careful not "to blaspheme The Holy Spirit" = (as the Jews did) "attributing The 'Work Of The Holy Spirit' unto men/Satan, Instead Of To God." Matthew 12:31; Mark 3:28-30 Correct?

All are invited to study "ALL The Holy Scriptures" on this Important Issue - Be Encouraged!
Luke 12:10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Matthew 12:31
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Mark 11:26
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
And: Luke 17:4
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Luke 6:37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Its best to not judget at all becouse the God Himself is the only one who can Judge. It is for u important that u find your way in the scripture and hear what the Holy Ghost says.
He Never will take away a gift He have given. The gift is always flowing, like living water in your heart, our sin in the saved state. We shall confess our sins and be forgiven them? Thats why we never want too give The Holy Spirit sorrow!
He is not a Lord who gives and take back, u are His forever. So please dont turn back. But meet Him in your grief and judgmental thoughts. Come forth boldly with your transgressions and He and you will forgive the sin you have attached yourself to.
Come back to the calling He has called you to: And be blessed in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Have a realy good new year growing with the Only True and Righteous God Jesus Christ the Son of God and His Holy Spirit who understands all things in our hearts.
1 John 3:20
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21:Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, :)
There are writings outside the Bible, these two are mentioned in the Bible, the book of Enoch, Jude 1:14, the book of Jasher, Joshua 10:11 2 Samuel 1:18 but are they the original books, and there are the writings of Josephus.
Scripture does tell us Satan entered Judas, John 13:27, we see in Matthew 12:26 Jesus said, if Satan cast out Satan, suggests he could possess someone, but Mark writes the same conversation, he writes Jesus is speaking in parables, Mark 3:23.
In Daniel 8 not covering Media and Persia, Alexander the Great, and the four it is Antiochus went plundering to place himself above all including God, Isaiah 14:13 is a good description of his intent. He almost destroyed Jerusalem and the worship of God by Israel and placed the abomination in the temple, but he failed. Host of heaven in Paganism are the sun, moon, stars, and planets that is worshiped, but this is not about angels.
Demons and angels are not the same but if you are looking for scripture it is not in the Bible we have. Fallen angels are not in scripture just a definition that has been given the bad ones. Some angels left their first estate and are locked in chains of darkness (bottomless pit), 2 Peter 2:4 Jude 1:6. They have a king, his name in Hebrew Abaddon, Greek Apollyon Revelation 9:1, the hell you speak of, in my understanding comes from Platonism and not scripture.
Revelation 12 that many places in the past but it is yet in the future, the battle is in heaven, so these angels still have access to heaven. When Satan and these angels are cast down to earth will be permanent because it says no more place is found in heaven, Revelation 12:8-12, my understanding this starts the 3.5 years of tribulation when Satan gives his seat, power, and authority to the beast.
There are evil beings on this earth 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 Ephesians 6:12, but how they got here is not in scripture.
Just a little information, may it not add to your questions.
God bless,
