Simon Peter's Three (3) Denials of Christ and Peter's Three Boastful Statements in the Gospel Accounts

Peter's Three (3) Denials of Christ and Three Boastful Statements in the Gospel Accounts
________________________________

Why the Accounts in Luke, John, Matthew, and Mark Differ

on What Jesus and Peter Said When Peter Proclaimed His Loyalty to Christ

When Simon Peter proclaimed his loyalty to Jesus just before Jesus Christ’s unjust trial, Peter actually proclaimed his loyalty three different times. Twice, he proclaimed his loyalty to Jesus prior to Jesus and His disciples leaving to go to the Mount of Olives (in John and Luke’s Gospel accounts).

After they had left to go to the mount, Peter again proclaimed his loyalty to Christ (in Matthew and Mark’s Gospel accounts). The accounts in Matthew and Mark are nearly identical and happen after Jesus and His disciples go to the Mount of Olives. And, the accounts in Luke and John take place prior to Jesus Christ and His disciples going to the Mount of Olives. 

Why Do the Four Gospel Accounts Have Different Details About the Events Following Jesus Christ’s Resurrection?

Why Do the Four Gospel Accounts Have Different Details About the Events Following Jesus Christ’s Resurrection?

It may seem confusing when you read the four different Gospel accounts of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But, this article (with God’s help) hopefully should clear up that confusion. The events mentioned in the four Gospel accounts about Christ’s resurrection are not contradictory whatsoever because each writer had his own memory and perspective about the events. And, each picked up on details that other writers may have missed.

This article aims to present what happened chronologically from the time Mary Magdalene and her lady friends first reached the tomb of Jesus (after His resurrection) and up to the time Jesus Christ’s eleven disciples had been informed of the miraculous resurrection of the Lord Jesus. (Note: Judas Iscariot had killed himself at this time.) In the paragraphs below, we will give the account of what happened (with the help of God, for only He could discern fully how this happened).

(1.) Mary Magdalene and some other women (a woman named Salome and Mary the mother of James) came to the tomb of Jesus Christ on the first day of the week, early in the morning. (2.) They found the tomb empty of the body of Jesus. But, they saw two angelic beings. One angel did most of the talking.

STAR WARS IS ANTI-CHRIST (The Devil's Tool to Steal the Hearts of Christians)

STAR WARS IS ANTI-CHRIST

(The Devil's Tool to Steal the Hearts of Christians)

||  STAR WARS CONTRADICTS

THE BIBLE AND IS ANTI-CHRIST  ||

Released to the world in 1977, Star Wars became a powerful phenomenon which drew millions of people into its profound influence. But, its power to captivate the minds, imaginations, and hearts of countless millions of people is not something that can be lightly ignored. Christians need to be aware of the messages and themes in Star Wars, especially since the Bible warned us about deceivers and evil people who would conduct amazing signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, God's people. 

The darkness in our world is increasing. We must be vigilant, as Christians, to watch and pray ... that is we need to know what God would show us personally and to pray as God leads us by His Holy Spirit. In the dark waters of this world, we need God's Holy Spirit and His Holy Bible to guide us when we consider the popular things in our culture and world.

-- “The Force” Is a Term Witches Use.

(for the Occultic Power They Possess or Think They Possess)

After leaving witchcraft, the late David J. Meyer became a believer in Jesus Christ.

Years after his conversion, David J. Meyer said this in an online article:

‘When real witches have sabats and esbats and meet as a coven, they greet each other by saying "Blessed be", and when they part, they say "The Force be with you." Both sides of this "Force" are Satan. It is not a good side of the force that overcomes the bad side of the force, but rather it’s the blood of Jesus Christ that destroys both supposed sides of the satanic "Force."’ (Meyer) (Emphasis added) [End quote] (See the Works Cited.)

Likewise, in Star Wars, “the Force” has a “dark side” and a “light side”. Luke Skywalker uses the “good side” of the Force to battle Darth Vader who uses the “dark side” of the Force. “White” witches use what they call “white magic,” and wizards in the dark arts use “black magic”.

Magic (also known as “magick”) is sorcery and witchcraft. The Bible has this to say about such practices…

Deuteronomy 18:9-12 (emphasis added)

“[9] When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

[10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

[11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

[12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.” [End quote] [Underlining / Bold font added] 

-- Levitation Is Used in Witchcraft and Star Wars.

From Merriam-Webster.com, we have this definition for levitation: 

The Profound Love of God for Us and How Only Jesus Christ Satisfies Us

The Profound Love of God for Us

and How Only Jesus Christ Satisfies Us

(Print)

Philippians chapter 4, verse 1 reveals a profound truth about God’s love for us, which God put into the heart of Paul for the church at Philippi.

Philippians 4:1 --  “[1] Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.” [End quote]

In Philippians 1:8, Paul wrote this:

Philippians 1:8 -- “[8] For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.” [End quote]        

{Note: Paul longed after them in the nature of the deep, compassionate, yearning love of Jesus Christ. (Bowels refers to deep love, yearning, earnest desire, deep feelings). Jesus Christ and God the Father have this deep, yearning love and compassion, and deep feeling for the Church and for the whole world. See John 17:23.}

Paul, who was once called Saul, was a former persecutor of Christians before he had a powerful vision from Jesus, revealing His love and truth and that Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God.  Shortly that vision, Paul became a born-again Christian and began preaching the Gospel to Jews and Gentiles. He was transformed from a zealous Pharisee who sought to imprison and stop Christians from spreading the Gospel to a godly man who preached the very Gospel he once despised.

So, when Paul wrote to the Philippian Christians calling them “… my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown,…”, he was speaking from the heart of Jesus, who gave Paul that love for the Church. It is the same type of love that Jesus has for the Church, which is His Bride. We are dearly loved by Abba Father God. He longs for us and He considers us to be His joy and crown.

In Isaiah 62, God calls the believers (Jews and Gentiles who believe on Jesus, the Messiah) His crown, His delight, and His Bride who He rejoices over.

Isaiah 62:3-5 says:  “[3] Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. [4] Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken ; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate : but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah : for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. [5] For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee : and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” [End quote]

[Hephzibah: ‘my delight is in her’.] [Beulah: ‘married’.]

Isaiah 62:11-12 says: “[11] Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh ; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. [12] And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord : and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.” [End quote]

Again, look at what the Holy Spirit had Paul write.

Philippians 4:1 --  “[1] Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.” [End quote]

Imagine if Jesus said these words. And, He really did. Jesus said the above message through Paul. And, not only does Jesus and Abba God love us, but God also gives us fullness of joy right now. All we need to do is just believe, and seek to know, and desire to know God intimately as a Friend and Abba Father.

Having True Joy in Jesus

We give some verses, below, about true joy, which found only in Jesus Christ. This joy is received by simple faith and by desiring to know Jesus Christ.

Psalm 16:11 says: “Thou wilt show me the path of life : in thy presence is fulness of joy ; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

HOW TO HAVE FULLNESS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS IN JESUS

HOW TO HAVE FULLNESS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS IN JESUS

{A Revelation of Who Jesus Is (He Only is Eternal Life and Joy)}

{Click here to see the printable PDF file.}

This article will show how Jesus Christ is God the Son, and He is Life and Joy. Having fullness of joy is having one’s focus and love on Jesus and not on idols. Getting rid of idols and walking in intimate fellowship with God is by following the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:4) and seeking to have a deep, intimate relationship with Abba Father God (Romans 8:15 and 1 John 1) and Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten Son. Single-mindedness toward Jesus casts out darkness and brings in light (Matthew 6:22).

None of this is performing for God’s love and blessings (Romans 4). It is simply resting, and seeking and desiring to know God intimately, and following the Holy Spirit. All of God’s blessings, friendship with God, and promises are freely given to us believers (Romans 8:32). Meditating on who God is and thirsting after God brings satisfaction and joy, as Psalm 63 says.

We will give bullet points with Bible verses, below. Part 2 in this article speaks of how to walk by the leading of the Holy Spirit and not perform or do works to try to earn things. All we need in God is freely given to us believers. Following the Holy Spirit mortifies (puts to death) the flesh, and blesses us, and furthers God’s Kingdom on earth.

•    (1.) Jesus Completely Satisfies us in Himself. Jesus Lives in us Believers.

JOHN 6:35 -- “[35] And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life : he that cometh

to me shall never hunger ; and he that believeth on me shall never

Thirst.”

1. Introduction

There are some important things that the devil (Satan), who is your enemy, doesn’t want you to know about Heaven (or the third Heaven, the paradise of God). Many people have listened to the devil’s lies instead of God’s Holy Word (the Bible). The Holy Bible describes the beauty of Heaven and tells us who can enter Heaven, and who cannot. The Word of God reveals to us truth that gives us the ability to experience a taste of Heaven while still living here on earth.

In this article, we will see who can live in Heaven, and who cannot. We will see what Heaven is like, and what it is not like. One thing we know for sure, Heaven is not like earth. It is perfect, sinless, holy, and perfectly beautiful. (See Isaiah 35:10, Revelation 21:4, and Rev. 21:27 ). There is no sickness, disease, sorrow, pain, or death in Heaven. All is peace, joy, happiness, and rest. Pain is gone. Misery is gone. Boredom is gone. All that is of the earth is gone. Only the basic personality of a believer remains essentially the same, but the believer has been transformed to look like an angel of God (See Luke 20:34-36).

Like the angels, a Christian in Heaven will live forever, will never die, and will be able to worship and praise God in His glory and beauty. A Christian in Heaven will see God’s face and enjoy God’s intimate fellowship in a deeper way than he or she can on planet earth. But, even on planet earth, we can experience deep fellowship, and friendship, and closeness with Abba Father God through Jesus Christ. And, that is what Abba Father God desires, as scripture verses such as Deuteronomy 33:3, Jeremiah 31:3, Psalm 16:11, 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 John 1:3-7, John 17, John 14, John 15, and so on declare.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:9

“9. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” [emphasis added] [end quote]

LUKE 20:34-36

“34. And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage : 35. but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage : 36. neither can they die any more : for they are equal unto the angels ; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.” [emphasis added] [end quote]

2. Why Heaven Is Only For Certain People

Heaven is a beautiful place located in a different dimension far from the earth. It is full of joy, peace, harmony, and happiness far beyond anything most people experience on this earth, in this dimension in which we live. There is no sickness, pain, suffering, or sadness in Heaven because Heaven is perfect and without any sin or imperfection.

1. Introduction

Hell is a real place that exists in a different dimension than the realm we experience on a day to day basis. It is a place filled with darkness, fire, terror, and endless torment. The Lord Jesus warned us about it quite frequently in the Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. King David wrote about it in the Psalms. The apostle Paul wrote about it in his epistles to the New Testament Churches. God had prophets write about it in places such as the book of Ezekiel, chapters 31 and 32.

It is an abode of Satan’s demonic hordes and a place of extreme heat. JOB 28:5 says: “[5.] As for the earth, out of it cometh bread : and under it is turned up as it were fire.” [end quote].

The Holy Spirit, using the apostle Paul, wrote this truth in Galatians 6:7-8: "7. Be not deceived ; God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption ; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." [end quote] Those who sow to the flesh will end up without life everlasting. They will only receive corruption in Hell.

But, those who sow to God’s Spirit will have life everlasting. Sowing means to walk according to. If we walk according to the flesh, and don’t turn to the loving and holy Abba God, we will reap corruption in Hell. But, if we walk according to Abba Father God’s Spirit, and repent from sin (forsake it) when we are convicted of it, we will be forgiven.

Fellowship and intimacy (close friendship and harmony) with Abba God is the key to overcome sin and to have meaning, purpose, and happiness in life. Sin is not fellowship with Abba God, but rebellion against Him. So, we must turn to Abba Father God, rest in what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross, and obey what our loving Abba God is directing us to do.

If you have not made Jesus Christ your Savior and Lord, we urge you to do so now. Confess that you are a sinner, be willing to turn from sin (looking to God for help), and believe on the Name of the Only Begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ. Jesus is God the Son. Only Jesus Christ, by His blood that He shed on the cross, can save you from sin and can give you eternal life, healing, and cleansing from sin, and righteousness (completeness). Turn to Jesus today. You never know how long you may live. (Read more about salvation at this link: https://exploringchristianity1.blogspot.com/p/salvation-through-jesus-christ_10.html )

2. The Lake of Fire

There is a place in Hell called the Lake of Fire in the book of Revelation, chapter 20, verse 14. It is a place of eternal torment which will contain all the souls who do not have their names written down in the Lamb’s book of life, in Heaven.

THE TRUTH ABOUT HELL THAT THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW

There is a place near the center of the earth, in the second heaven (or a different dimension), where lost souls go when they die.

The book of Ezekiel speaks of the place of the unsaved dead being in the "nether parts" of the earth.

Ezekiel chapter 31 (verse 2) addresses a pharaoh of Egypt. 

In verse 14, the Bible says, in part: [14] "... : for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit." [end quote].

A Word from God for His Church About the Line in the Sand (5-21-18) (A Message from God)

(The picture was made using Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Paint 3D.)

A Word from God for His Church About the Line in the Sand

God said the words below this paragraph. I encourage you to seek God about it and see what He shows you. God is calling out to His Church to repent and seek to know Him better. This message from God was given on May 21, 2018.

GOD said:
___________________

[The line in the sand]

"My children, I am the LORD your God and Creator. You are being tested now. Don't be afraid. I am working to remove dross in your hearts and to draw you closer to Me. You are going through difficulties to show what you are made of and to determine who you will serve, whether you will serve Me or not. 

Donald Trump is a man who is ungodly, immoral, and wicked. He has idols and sins, and he is full of evil. If you put your trust in him to save this country, then you are not putting your trust in Me. You are putting your trust in an evil man and forsaking your God. Turn back to Me and repent from trusting in a mere man. Put your trust in Me, your God. 

If you continue on this course of trusting in man, you will see that your trust will fail you, for Donald Trump will fail you. He certainly will. He will not make good his promises, nor will he be able to deliver America from the judgment I bring up this wicked land. If you value Me, then seek Me about this question and about your support of Donald Trump, if you support him.

["If you love me, forsake the world and look to My Word, the Bible."]

If you love me, forsake the world and look to My Word, the Bible. There you will find all you need. Read the Bible, ask Me your questions about it, talk with Me, and listen to what I show you, for I will speak with you. If you don't know what to say to a non-Christian about a certain verse or passage in the Bible, just seek Me about it, and I will show you. 

The Nature of Paranormal Creatures — The Jersey Devil and Winged Humanoids or Winged Demons — (And Encounters with the Unexplained or Paranormal)

The Jersey Devil and Winged Humanoids or Winged Demons —  The Nature of Strange Creatures and Encounters with the Unexplained or Paranormal

For many years people have been encountering strange beings that take on a variety of forms. They often appear at night or in the twilight and they behave in ways unlike any known animal. Some have feet that resemble human feet, only much larger. Others fly with bat-like wings. Many have red, glowing eyes. What are these creatures? Are they animals? Are they aliens? Are they spirits? Are they purely fictional? Or, are they something else entirely?

THE JERSEY DEVIL

For hundreds of years, a cryptid creature (or creatures) was (were) seen in the thick, mostly uninhabited forests of New Jersey, called the "pine barrens." It is a region of the state consisting of thickets, evergreen trees, ponds, and dense undergrowth. Strange creatures collectively called the "Jersey Devil" were reportedly seen by thousands of people for over 250 years in the state of New Jersey and mostly in the pine barrens.

Bigfoot (Sasquatch), Paranormal Creatures, Bigfoot Attacks — The Nature of the Bigfoot

For many years people have been encountering strange, tall beings that walk on two legs like a man and appear completely covered in thick hair or fur. Bizarrely, their feet resemble human feet, only much larger. What are these creatures? Are they animals? Are they aliens? Are they spirits? Are they purely fictional? Or, are they something else entirely?

In this article, we will relate a Bigfoot attack and look into the true nature of this creature.

SASQUATCH (BIGFOOT) SIGHTINGS 


Native Americans from British Columbia and throughout the United States have spoken of a mysterious, ape-like, man-like beast they call the Esti Capcaki, Atahsaia, Ot ne yar heh, and other names. But, the most well-known are sasquatch and Bigfoot. 

(Bigfoot plaster cast. Click for source.)

The tall, hairy creature has been described by many people as being about 6 to 9 feet in height, weighing about 800 pounds (maximum), and walking on two feet ("Mysterious Ape ..."). It has been heard to let out a loud, chilling call. People have described it as being ape-like or man-like and covered in thick fur. 

Some sasquatch appear to be shy. But, others are more aggressive and have been known to throw stones at buildings, chase people, and vandalize cabins.

Attack in Vancouver Island

One night in 2004, Ted Story (or Ted Storey) was sleeping in his motor home in the densely-forested Strathcona Provincial Park, which is located in the middle of Vancouver Island. (Source: Monster Quest: Mysterious Ape Island.)

Regarding the sasquatch creature, Ted said: "I thought it was a myth or—[I] had no belief in any of that at all. That night, it made me a believer." ("Mysterious Ape ...")

He was woken from sleep by a sudden and unexpected event. Ted said: "All of a sudden, the motor home shook violently. It listed 30 degrees or so. I would anticipate that the tires just about came off the ground." Something large and having immense strength was rocking the motor home, standing right outside his window. 

➤ Jim Carrey's Strange Personal Beliefs About Reality and Life // ➤ Jesus Revealed the Meaning of Life in John 17:3

Jim Carrey's Strange Personal Beliefs About Reality and Life

Jim Carrey has made some strange and unusual statements about his views on the nature of reality, the meaning of life, and his view of his identity. He told a reporter these strange words in September 2017:

The Story of King David's Kindness to Mephibosheth // God's Love for Mephibosheth and Us -- 2 Samuel 9

The Story of King David's Kindness to Mephibosheth // God's Love for Mephibosheth and Us -- 2 Samuel 9 

Abba Father God treats us (who believe on Jesus) with the same kind of kindness that David had for Mephibosheth, and even better. Imagine God the Father is speaking to you in a way similar to how King David spoke to Mephibosheth, who was lame in his feet. But, God's love is far greater than the love any man or woman could ever have. 

Mephibosheth, a son of Jonathan, wrongfully felt that he was worse than the lowest animal in Middle-Eastern society, a scavenger dog. But, David didn't think so because God put love in David's heart for Mephibosheth. If David, who was not perfect, could love and care for a needy person and exalt him to a place of closeness and fellowship, certainly God the Father will do the same for anyone who looks to Him and seeks to know Him better.

David restored Mephibosheth's land. And, David gave him food, a place to call home; friendship; fellowship; and a position as a son. God does the same for us, and even much better.
