And WHAT is the context to that verse you posted Toth!? That the Pharisees were telling the Messiah to basically rebuke His disciples to SHUT UP! Right? What did Christ say? If they was to keep quiet, even the stones would cry out the TRUTH in the disciples silence!!!
So are you slyly suggesting in this verse we should SHUT UP when it comes to pathetic7744 and Quizzy teachings and then the stones in my driveway would cry out on the this forum to expose them and speak the truth???
Not just the 12 but the whole multitude of the disciples was praising God and rejoicing because the Messiah was truly in their midst. The Pharisees must have hated that.
Great verse, Max.
See also Matt. 3:9 when John the Baptist rebuked the Pharisees. "God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham."
I just share what God puts on my heart when I share a verse or scripture. It wasn't directed at anybody specific or with a special motive.
To me the verse speaks of God's sovereignty and dominion. Even rocks serve Him and can attest to the Gospel.
I think the verse also resonates with me because there was a book I purchased more than a decade ago called "The Stones Cry Out" which was mostly about biblical archaeology, so it's also common to me as a phrase.
Colossians 3:16: Let the **WORD OF CHRIST** dwell in you richly as you **TEACH AND ADMONISH** one another with all wisdom!
2 Timothy 3:15,16: 4:1-4: You have known the **HOLY SCRIPTURES**, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. **ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED** and is useful for teaching, **REBUKING**, **CORRECTING** and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**!! {**WHICH IS THE ENTIRE NEW COVENANT AND NEW TESTAMENT**!!} Be prepared in season and out of season; **CORRECT, **REBUKE** and encourage--with great patienceand careful instrruction. For the time wikll come when people will not put up wit sound doctrine!
**DOES GOD"S WORD SAY THAT **ADDING** OR **TAKING WORD'S AWAY** FROM GOD's WORD IS AN UMPARDONABLE SIN**??
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus. have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Churches.... I warn everyone who hears the **WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS BOOK**: If anyone **ADDS** {Like Quiznos and Kristofer} anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this Book {Including **ETERNAL HELL**} And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** {Like Quiznos, Kristofer and KJVonly} from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}, which are described in this book."
John 16:12,13: Jesus says, "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the Truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify Me because it is **FROM ME THAT HE WILL RECEIVE WHAT HE WILL MAKE KNOWN TO YOU**"
And holy spirit inspired the 8 writers of the 27 books of the New Testament to write everything Jesus told him to write!!
Hebrews 11:1,2: Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,**FIXING OUR EYES ON JESUS**, the **AUTHOR** and **PERFECTER** of our faith!
THE GREAT COMMISSION: Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, “All authority in heaven and on ***EARTH*** has been given to Me {Not some RC Pope}. Therefore go and make disciples of *ALL NATIONS*...teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** {The entire NT} I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very *END OF THE AGE*!”
Actually Toth Richard forgot one additional verse he usually posts with the above post of his but strangely left out this time. Let me help you with that Toth. He is as much an inspiration to me as he is to you I'm sure Toth. He is my hero also! Here is the verse! ENJOY!
Richard apparently does not have a mirror in his trailer where he lives in Florida, for he states below....

Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus. have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Churches.... I warn everyone who hears the **WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS BOOK**: If anyone **ADDS** {Like pathetic7744 has done} anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this Book {Including **ETERNAL DEATH**} And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** {Like pathetic7744 does many times like below quote} from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}, which are described in this book."
Proof below pathetic7744 **TAKES WORDS AWAY**
Richard7744 states this all throughout the forum - Isaiah 9:6: Quote of Richard - "For unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor and **MIGHTY GOD**!" end quote.
For Isaiah 9:6 REALLY says in the NIV - "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, >>>Everlasting Father,<<< >>>Prince of Peace."<<<
THERE IS NO translation that EVER leaves out the words "Everlasting/Eternal/Eternity Father" in any other Bibles. Nor does Richard's favorite NIV leave out the words that Richard the pathetic7744 does! Wow!
I'm not at war with anybody on here. I just stated doing the "verse of the day" thing to hopefully bring some inspiration to others, as well as myself.
I don't agree with everything Richard posts or how he posts it, but what does God want for him? I would hope for you both to be well and to follow the path God places before you to the best of your ability. Best wishes.
Well there you go again assuming someone is at "war" here now, much like you assume others are "arguing" on this forum. This is a discussion forum of the Bible, right? Not to be assumed to be a arguing forum. LOL! The old classic excuse it all away with labels, right? I have no problem with cultish Richard, never attended a cult "church" like his that teaches his "Jesus" breaks BIBLE commandments and I'm highly interested in his inspiring "church" of his! Are you not interested? Have you heard such a revelation that Richard's "Jesus" is a sinner just like us! Wow! I'm ok with it, I'm moved by Richard's Biblical expertise! OK?
*}**IS JESUS CHRIST CO-EQUAL WITH GOD THE FATHER**??
Teddyhugger believes that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Father are one and the same Being?? It is true that some people called Jesus the Everlasting Father in Isaiah 9:6 for Jesus said the Father and I are One and if you have seen Me you have seen the Father since they are both God and believe exactly the same.
The Roman Catholic Church was the first denomination to state that God the father and His Son Jesus are completely **CO-EQUAL** in AD 325.
Question: Is Jesus who is God **CO-EQUAL** with God the Father?
**WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
John 14:28: Jesus says, "If you loved Me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the **FATHER IS GREATER THAN I**!"
John 10:27-30: Jesus says, "My sheep listen to My voice, I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, no one can snatch them out of My hand. **MY FATHER, WHO HAS GIVEN THEM TO ME** is **GREATER THAN ALL**!"
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
John 17:17: Jesus says to His Father, "Sanctify them by the truth **YOUR WORD** is Truth!!"
Deuteronomy 18:17-20: The Lord said to Moses, "I will raise up for them a Prophet from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put My words in His mouth. He will tell them everything I command Him. I Myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My Name!"
John 14:23-24: Jesus says, "Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching. My Father will love them, and **WE** will come to them and make **OUR HOME** with them. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; **THEY BELONG TO THE FATHER WHO SENT ME**!"
Revelation 1:1: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which **GOD GAVE HIM**!
Jesus is the **HEAD** of God's Kingdom in the NT era until His 2nd Coming and **THEN** He will hand over the **ETERNAL** Kingdom to God the Father!
I Corinthians 15:23-24: For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the Firstfruits, then, when He comes, those who belong to Him. **THEN** He will hand over the {**ETERNAL**}Kingdom to God the Father!
There are 7 passages in the New Testament which state that we should **ONLY PRAY TO GOD THE FATHER**!! **SUCH AS**:
Matthew 6:6-10: Jesus says, "When you pray, go into your room, close the door and **PRAY TO YOUR FATHER**, who is unseen. Then **YOUR FATHER**, who sees what is done in secret will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them for your **FATHER KNOWS** what you need before you ask Him! This then, is how you should pray: 'Our **FATHER** in heaven hallowed be your name, **YOUR {**ETERNAL**}KINGDOM** come, **YOUR WILL** be done, on earth as it is in heaven!'"
Luke 11:4: Jesus says, "When you pray say: '**FATHER**, hallowed be Your Name, your {*ETERNAL*} Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. "**FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we forgive everyone who sins against us!'"
Revelation 1:1: The Revelation from Jesus Christ, which **GOD {The *FATHER*} GAVE HIM**!
John 14:28: Jesus says, "If you loved Me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the **FATHER IS GREATER THAN I!"
