GOD SEES EVERYTHING (THE BODY, BLOOD, SPIRIT AND PRAYER): READ AND WHAT'S YOUR VIEW
God, the Son (Jesus Christ) is the truth and He is in God, the Father.
God, the Father is in God, the Son in one Spirit (the Holy Spirit of God, the Father).
God, the Son (Jesus Christ) is in God, the Father in one Spirit (the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ).
Spread "the Word." Jesus Christ is "the Word" we spread as good Christians for "the Word" (Jesus Christ) was made flesh and lived among us in human flesh/body. The "Word" became "body" when Jesus Christ was conceived by Virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit and His body is physically taken by physically living human beings in the form of physical food eaten during the Passover (nowadays called the Holy Communion); and His blood is physically taken by physically living human beings in form physical wine drank during the Passover (nowadays called the Holy Communion) in remembrance of our beloved Jesus Christ who physically lived among us from child birth and physically died at a young age of 33 years old (it is like a memorial service).
Let the way you live your life each day from morning till night time (when you are asleep or still awake) be a praise the Lord God so that He can bear witness for you. God sees everything!!! Jesus Christ (God, the Son) taught His disciples how to pray to Him through "Our Lord's Prayer."
(1) GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD: This means "one day at a time sweet Jesus, that's all I am asking from you, my Lord God." The High governing authorities in the temple were considered as "the kings of this world" and taxes or duties are meant to be paid by only foreigners of a place (nation) as the citizens are not to pay taxes or duties. The High authorities of the temple assign tax collectors from the members of the temple to collect these taxes or duties for them. They came to collect temple tax from Jesus Christ for teaching in the temple and Peter told them that Jesus Christ is one of those who usually pay his temple taxes. Simon Peter has always been the one in charge of the other disciples when Jesus Christ was busy doing something else so He usually speaks on behalf of the other disciples when the need arises. Jesus Christ did not talk to the tax collectors but later spoke to Simon Peter when they got home because Jesus Christ likes to get the opinion of His disciples from what they say to Him on matters arising. So when they got to their house, Jesus Christ was the first to speak by asking Simon Peter tangible questions that He knew that Simon Peter knew the correct answer concerning who pays duties or taxes to the High authorities of the temple (also called the kings of the world). Jesus Christ was a citizen of Capernaum and He didn't have to pay taxes or duties there but to avoid offending their intelligence so Jesus Christ sent Simon Peter (who was already a professional fisherman before he became a disciple of Jesus Christ) to go to the lake at Capernaum to hook a fish and in that fish he will see the money that can pay the High authorities of this world (this was a miracle). The taxes paid by Jesus Christ was also on behalf of all his disciples.
QUESTION:
(A) DO YOU NOW SEE THAT IT IS NOT ALL MONEY THAT IS PRINTED BY THE BANKS?
(B) DO YOU ALSO SEE THAT JESUS CHRIST CAN GIVE YOU REAL MONEY THAT WAS NOT PRINTED BY THE BANKS IF HE WANTS TO EVEN WITHOUT YOU ASKING HIM TO DO SO?
(C) YOU PAY TAXES OR DUTIES IN A COUNTRY (PLACE) FROM THE EARNINGS (DAILY BREAD) YOU MAKE IN THAT SAME COUNTRY (PLACE).
NOTE THAT:
(A) IT WAS BECAUSE THESE TAX COLLECTORS DID NOT RECOGNIZE JESUS CHRIST AS THE MESSIAH THAT WAS WHY THEY FELT THAT THEY KNEW THE SCRIPTURES MORE THAN JESUS CHRIST.
(B) SIMON PETER DID NOT LIE TO THE TAX COLLECTORS BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST PAID ALL HIS TEMPLE TAXES IN THE PLACES (NATIONS) WHERE HE WAS NOT A CITIZEN. THIS MEANS THAT JESUS CHRIST PREACHED IN PLACES WHERE HE WAS NOT A CITIZEN.
(C) BASED ON THE BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW, ALTHOUGH JESUS CHRIST PAID TAXES IN PLACES WHERE HE WAS NOT A CITIZEN; HE DIDN'T PAY IN THAT PARTICULAR TEMPLE IN CAPERNAUM BEFORE THAT DAY BECAUSE HE WAS A CITIZEN OF CAPERNAUM WHICH IS WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS.
(C) JESUS CHRIST AND ALL OF HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES WERE ALL CITIZENS OF CAPERNAUM.
(D) JESUS CHRIST WAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PERSON (TEACHER) IN THE TEMPLE THAT THE TEMPLE TAX COLLECTORS COULD NOT APPROACH HIM DIRECTLY ANY HOW TO HARASS HIM FOR PAYMENTS OF TAXES OR DUTIES SO THEY WENT THROUGH HIS FOLLOWERS.
According to Matthew 17:24-28
WHEN JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO CAPERNAUM, THE COLLECTORS OF THE TEMPLE TAX CAME TO PETER AND ASKED, "DOES YOUR TEACHER PAY THE TEMPLE TAX?" "OF COURSE," PETER ANSWERED. WHEN PETER WENT INTO THE HOUSE, JESUS SPOKE UP FIRST, "SIMON, WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? WHO PAYS DUTIES OR TAXES TO THE KINGS OF THIS WORLD? THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTRY OR THE FOREIGNERS?" "THE FOREIGNERS," ANSWERED PETER. "WELL, THEN," REPLIED JESUS, "THAT MEANS THAT THE CITIZENS DON'T HAVE TO PAY. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO OFFEND THESE PEOPLE. SO GO TO THE LAKE AND DROP IN A LINE. PULL UP THE FIRST FISH YOU HOOK, AND IN ITS MOUTH YOU WILL FIND A COIN WORTH ENOUGH FOR MY TEMPLE TAX AND YOURS. TAKE IT AND PAY THEM OUR TAXES.
(2) FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US: This means forgive my offenses against you my God because I have forgiven people who offended me in the time past and I know that forgiveness is a continuous process. When someone offends you, tell the person that he or she has offended you and if the person changes for the better then you have won the person back to Jesus Christ (God, the Son) but if the person refuses to change or apologise sincerely to you; then you can report him or her to one or two other people who will join you to go to him or her to reprimand/accuse him or her and also bear witness as to what he or she had done against you because even the old testament (the scriptures) says so. If he or she refuses to change his or her evil/wicked ways, report the offense of this person to a large set of people and if he or she does not listen to this large set of people and apologize to you for offending you, Jesus Christ has given you who has been offended the express go ahead to treat the offender like an ungodly foreigner so, anyone who does not treat such an unrepentant person as an ungodly foreigner is disobedient to God because he/she (the one who was offended) has decided not to do what Jesus Christ (God, the Son) has instructed/commanded all good Christians ("the called") to do. As a good Christian, do not please ungodly human beings to displease God but instead, please God so that Godly human beings will be pleased with you. As a good Christian, do not please others to displease yourself in the sense that pleasing other people at the expense of Jesus Christ (God, the Son) is not for your own good. So, love yourself so that you can love other people the way you love yourself. Jesus Christ is "the way" to go and Eternal life is "the goal."
NOTE THAT:
(A) THIS HOLY BIBLE PASSAGE IS ALSO TELLING US TO KEEP TRYING TO WIN BACK THE HEART AND SOUL OF A GOOD CHRISTIAN WHO HAS LEFT JESUS CHRIST BY OFFENDING HIS FELLOW GOOD CHRISTIAN UNTIL YOU HAVE TRIED ALL THESE RECOMMENDED STEPS OF JESUS CHRIST.
(B) THIS HOLY BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW IS NOT ABOUT FORGIVENESS BUT IT IS ABOUT USING THE RECOMMENDED STEPS OF JESUS CHRIST TO TRY TO WIN BACK THAT ONE LOST SHEEP AMONG GOOD CHRISTIAN (AS ALL AVAILABLE GOOD CHRISTIAN MUST PUT THEIR EFFORTS TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE HE OR SHE CHANGES FROM HIS OR HER RECENT EVIL AND WICKED WAYS) BEFORE WRITING HIM OR HER OFF AS AN UNGODLY FOREIGNER THAT THE RECENTLY UNREPENTANT PERSON HAS NOW BECOME.
(C) THESE STEPS RECOMMENDED BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN THE BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW DOES NOT APPLY TO UNGODLY FOREIGNERS (UNBELIEVERS) WHICH MEANS DO NOT SHOW SUCH CONCERNS FOR UNGODLY FOREIGNERS (UNBELIEVERS).
(D) WHEN A GOOD CHRISTIAN IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH A FELLOW CHRISTIAN, THE BEST QUESTION YOU NEED TO ASK THE PERSON AS A FELLOW GOOD CHRISTIAN IS: "HAVE YOU TOLD THIS FELLOW CHRISTIAN HIS OR HER WRONG DOING AGAINST YOU?" This question is like asking: "Have you followed the due process of Christianity?"
According to Matthew 18: 15-17
"IF YOUR BROTHER SINS AGAINST YOU, GO TO HIM AND SHOW HIM HIS FAULT. BUT DO IT PRIVATELY, JUST BETWEEN YOURSELVES. IF HE LISTENS TO YOU, YOU HAVE WON YOUR BROTHER BACK. BUT IF HE WILL NOT LISTEN TO YOU, TAKE ONE OR TWO OTHER PERSONS WITH YOU, SO THAT " EVERY ACCUSATION MAY BE UPHELD BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR MORE WITNESSES," AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. AND IF HE WILL NOT LISTEN TO THEM, THEN TELL THE WHOLE THING TO THE CHURCH. FINALLY, IF HE WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE CHURCH, TREAT HIM AS THOUGH HE WERE A PAGAN OR A TAX COLLECTOR.
SAY THIS PRAYER THAT JESUS CHRIST TAUGHT US (HIS DISCIPLES) CALLED "OUR LORD'S PRAYER":
" OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN; HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME; YOUR KINGDOM COME; YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN; GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US; AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL."
