A doua venire a Domnului Iisus Hristos - Nu ştiţi ziua şi ceasul - Ziua Domnuluibillydeana
"Eu însă vin, şi am venit, şi zic tuturor: privegheaţi, că iată ziua venirii Mele şi cartea ei care judecă făptura! Învăţaţi de la smochin pilda. Mlădiţa lui a odrăslit, şi vara este aproape. Privegheaţi, fiţi gata, că în ceasul în care nu gândiţi Eu vin."
This document discusses the relationship between faith and works. It argues that faith without works is dead. It uses the examples of Abraham offering Isaac and Rahab hiding the spies to show that their faith was demonstrated through their actions. True faith will necessarily be accompanied by works as evidence of that faith. A person who claims to have faith but does nothing to help those in need is not showing genuine faith. One's faith should compel them to visible intercession and action on behalf of others.
The angel Gabriel visits Mary and tells her she will conceive and give birth to a son named Jesus, who will be the Son of God. Mary is confused by this since she has not been with a man. Gabriel explains that the Holy Spirit will come upon her and God's power will overshadow her. Mary accepts God's will, saying "Let it be to me according to your word." Mary then visits her relative Elizabeth, who confirms that Mary is blessed among women for believing God's message. Elizabeth's unborn baby leaps in her womb recognizing Jesus.
The document discusses different beliefs about what happens after death, including that nothing happens according to the Sadducees, reincarnation according to Pythagoras and Plato, and resurrection according to the Pharisees. It then discusses how Paul argues in 1 Corinthians that if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised, and our faith is in vain. Finally, it recounts the story from Luke of Mary and other women discovering Jesus' empty tomb on Easter morning, confused by this until they remember his words that he would rise on the third day.
The document describes the birth of Jesus Christ. Caesar Augustus decreed that all people should return to their hometowns to be registered for a census. Joseph and Mary traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem for the census, as Joseph was from the house of David. Mary gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem, as there was no room for them in the inn, so Jesus was laid in a manger. Angels announced his birth to shepherds in the fields, who went to see the baby Jesus.

This document contains two passages from the Bible. The first passage is from Deuteronomy 6:13-16, which instructs Israelites to fear God alone and not tempt God as they did in Massah. The second passage is Matthew 4:1-11, which describes how Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness and was tempted by Satan. Each time Jesus was tempted, he responded by quoting from Deuteronomy to resist Satan's temptations by relying on God's word.
Mary praises God for choosing her, a humble servant, to bear His son. She says all generations will call her blessed because God has done great things for her and His name is holy. Mary recalls how God helps those who fear Him and brings down the proud but lifts up the lowly. She acknowledges God's power and mercy towards Israel in fulfilling His promises to Abraham forever.
Psalm 110 describes a future leader who will be given power and authority by God. The LORD says to this leader "Sit at my right hand" and that he will rule over his enemies. This leader will be a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. The document discusses how this refers to Jesus Christ being given authority by God the Father. It notes that the power described was not fully realized by David, so it refers to someone greater.
- God made a promise to King David that he would have a great descendant whose kingdom would be established forever, and that God would build the temple. This promise is reflected in Psalms 89:35-37.
- The prophet Isaiah foretold that a child would be born who would be given the titles Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, and whose government and peace would have no end, sitting on David's throne forever.
- The birth of Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, fulfilled the promise to David, as God was with us in the form of Jesus, who would save his people from their sins, as was spoken by the prophet.
The document contains two passages of scripture from the Bible. The first passage from 1 John discusses how love is shown through actions like laying down one's life for others and helping those in need. It says that not showing love to others means God's love does not abide within that person. The second passage from James talks about the importance of being doers of the word, not just hearers. It says people who don't act on what they hear are deceiving themselves and their religion is useless if they don't control their tongue and instead help those less fortunate.
This document summarizes and comments on a passage from the book of James in the Bible. The passage discusses how showing partiality or favoritism towards the rich over the poor is a sin. It notes that God has chosen the poor to be heirs to his kingdom, and warns that failing to love your neighbor as yourself by showing partiality is breaking God's law. The commentary applies this by saying Christians are called to see all people as equally worthy in God's eyes, regardless of attributes like wealth, neighborhood, or ethnicity, and that we must acknowledge Christ died for all.
The parable describes a rich man who lives in luxury while a poor man named Lazarus lays starving at his gate, covered in sores. When they die, Lazarus is carried to heaven while the rich man finds himself in torment. He begs Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his brothers, but Abraham says they have Moses and the prophets and will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead. The parable illustrates the reversal of fortunes after death and warns that faith in scripture is more important than signs.
This document discusses the power and danger of the tongue based on passages from the Bible. It notes that while the tongue is small, it can do great harm by spreading lies, gossip, and curses. No person can fully tame their tongue, and with our words we can bless God but also curse people. The tongue should not both bless and curse, just as a spring does not produce both fresh and salt water. We must control our speech and be merciful with our words.
1. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath.
2. The Pharisees were upset because Jesus' disciples plucked grain on the Sabbath.
3. "Working" on the Sabbath was a choice between doing good or evil.
4. The goal of the Pharisees on the first Sabbath was to find accusations against Jesus.

1. Care dintre noi, n-am fi vrut sa stam la masa cu Presedintele Americii? Sa
fim si noi la masa cu demnitarii statului care iau deciziile si care au o mare
importanta asupra lucrurilor ce se intampla in tara asta?
2. 7 Apoi, cînd a văzut că cei poftiţi la masă alegeau locurile dintîi, le -a spus
o pildă. Şi le -a zis:
8 ”Cînd eşti poftit de cineva la nuntă, să nu te aşezi la masă în locul dintîi;
ca nu cumva, printre cei poftiţi de el, să fie altul mai cu vază decît tine,
9 şi cel ce te -a poftit şi pe tine şi pe el, să vină să-ţi zică: ‘Dă locul tău
omului acestuia’. Atunci, cu ruşine, va trebui să iei locul de pe urmă.
10 Ci, cînd eşti poftit, du-te şi aşează-te în locul cel mai depe urmă;
pentruca, atunci cînd va veni cel ce te -a poftit, să-ţi zică: ‘Prietene, mută-
te mai sus’. Lucrul acesta îţi va face cinste înaintea tuturor celor ce vor fi
la masă împreună cu tine.
11 Căci oricine se înalţă, va fi smerit; şi cine se smereşte, va fi înălţat”.
3.
4. Ideea principala e sa nu ne imbulzim sa iesim in evidenta in fata oamenilor,
ci mai degraba sa luam locul din spate pentru a vea sansa sa fim invitati in
fata.
• Cred ca noi stim bine sa luam locul din spate, dar problema sta in a ne
misca cand suntem invitati in fata!
• E bine sa fim smeriti, dar sa nu ne gandim “cine ma vede ca fiind smerit?”
sau “ce rost are sa ma smeresc daca nu ma vede nimeni?” E un paradox!
• In economia lui Dumnezeu, cel care se promoveaza singur va fi smerit si
cel ce traieste o viata smerita va fi promovat (ridicat).
5. 12 A zis şi celui ce -L poftise: ,,Cînd dai un prînz sau o cină, să
nu chemi pe prietenii tăi, nici pe fraţii tăi, nici pe neamurile tale,
nici pe vecinii bogaţi, ca nu cumva să te cheme şi ei la rîndul lor
pe tine, şi să iei astfel o răsplată pentru ce ai făcut.
13 Ci, cînd dai o masă, cheamă pe săraci, pe schilozi, pe
şchiopi, pe orbi.
14 Şi va fi ferice de tine, pentrucă ei n'au cu ce să-ţi
răsplătească; dar ţi se va răsplăti la învierea celor neprihăniţi.``

7. Noi avem obiceiul de a-i invita pe cei apropiati sau pe oamenii mai cu vaza,
sperand se ne intoarca favoarea.
• Ce ne face pe noi mai buni decat cei fara Hristos, daca numai pe cei care
ii iubim ii invitam la noi?
• Ce ne deosebeste de lume daca numai rasplata o cautam?
• Nu este mai bine ca noi sa-i ridicam pe cei saraci sau neinsemnati, decat
sa cautam sa ne ridicam pe noi insine prin alianta cu oameni bogati care
nu sunt in acord cu Cuvintul lui Dumnezeu?
8. 15 Unul din ceice şedeau la masă cu El, cînd a auzit aceste vorbe, I -a zis;
,,Ferice de acela care va prînzi în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu”!
16 Şi Isus i -a răspuns: ,,Un om a dat o cină mare, şi a poftit pe mulţi.
17 La ceasul cinei, a trimes pe robul său să spună celor poftiţi: ,Veniţi, căci
iată că toate sînt gata.`
18 Dar toţi, parcă fuseseră vorbiţi, au început să se desvinovăţească. Cel
dintîi i -a zis: ,Am cumpărat un ogor, şi trebuie să mă duc să -l văd; rogu-te
să mă ierţi.`
19 Un altul a zis: ,Am cumpărat cinci părechi de boi şi mă duc să -i încerc:
iartă-mă, te rog.`
9. 20 Un altul a zis: ,Tocmai acum m'am însurat, şi de aceea nu pot veni.`
21 Cînd s'a întors robul, a spus stăpînului său aceste lucruri. Atunci stăpînul
casei s'a mîniat, şi a zis robului său: ,Du-te degrab în pieţele şi uliţele cetăţii,
şi adu aici pe cei săraci, ciungi, orbi şi şchiopi.`
22 La urmă, robul a zis: ,Stăpîne, s'a făcut cum ai poruncit, şi tot mai este
loc.`
23 Şi stăpînul a zis robului: ,Ieşi la drumuri şi la garduri, şi pe cei ce -i vei găsi,
sileşte -i să intre, ca să mi se umple casa.
24 Căci vă spun că niciunul din cei poftiţi, nu va gusta din cina mea.``
10. Multi sunt chemati dar putin vor raspunde. Obiceiul gazdelor de pe vremea
aceea consta in a-i invita pe oameni la masa, pe urma sa trimita un mesager
sa le spuna cand e gata masa. Initial, se pare ca oamenii invitati au raspuns
pozitiv, dar cand a venit vremea ospatului nu au mai vrut sa vina.
• Evreii ziceau in gura mare ca ei sunt gata sa vina la masa Domnului, dar
cand a venit vremea sa vina si invitatia le-a fost prezentata de Hristos, n-
au mai vrut sa vina.
• Si noi avem partea noastra in pilda aceasta. Noi suntem cei “săraci,
ciungi, orbi şi şchiopi”.
• Asadari sa nu mai venim cu tot felul de scuze, ci sa iesim in “pieţele şi
uliţele cetăţii”.
