Where Two or Three are Gathered..
Posted : 14 Jan, 2012 05:22 PM

What do these two things have in common?



For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Matthew 18:20



Rabbi cHanania ben Teradion said:

--"When two sit together and do not discuss words of Torah, this case is a session of scoffers, as it is said: "nor does he sit in the seat of scoffers" (Psalm 1:1). But when two sit and there are words of Torah between them, the Presence [Shekinah] dwells among them. Mishna, Aboth 3.2



Was Jesus referring Himself as the Shekinah that the Jews spoke of?





Does anyone have any thoughts on this?



Please discuss and give your point of view.



Thanks in advance.

Before Yeshua,the number of men required for having a synagouge was ten.



Yeshua brings the number to two,and there is no mention of either of these two believers being a senior pastor,pastor,elder,or leader of ant type.



Two are able to read and study the Word of YHWH to gether.



Two are able to fellowship together.



Two are able to Worthship together.



Two are able to break bread together.



Two are able to pray together.



Two are able to go evangelizing / witnessing together.



Two are able to support and encourage one another.



The necessity of the so-called meag places is not real.



This also shows that the place where people meet is not as important as meeting according to the Scriptures.



HalaluYahweh to the Lamb which has set men free to Worthshipping Him, in spirit and in truth.



Shalom

Farmer



ps

Did i say that we could go the local Wal-Mart,grab a box of Matzo,some grape juice and break bread with the believers in the break room.



AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing to do with the context, just aother example of the unforgiveness of the speaker.

Actually, PJ, your response has nothing to do with the context of the topic, brother. I think you are being emotionally influenced by some sort of incident that you have not given to Christ by keeping it your heart and acting upon it, brother, and are projecting it upon others wrongly.





I would suggest that you go to the brother that you think sinned and talk it out with him before you try to offer anything worthy of Christ, brother, then come back to this topic and read it with a clear mind and heart in order to enjoy fellow-shipping with your brethren in Christ.



May the Shekinah of the Lord indwell your heart and life, brother PJ.

George, my brother!



Amen to that! Right now even as we speak of the Word of the Lord, He is in our midst. The Shekinah is amongst us, brother! His ways are unimaginably beautiful and beyond all man's capabilities to suppress His love for us.





May the Shekinah guide and light your path, brothers.

Actually those that think they commune with God thru their mind are influenced by their emotion's.



My father is a spirit and I am made in his likeness, and the source for all truth is the word of God.



The Spirit of God will not have anything to do with the soirit of strife.

ME: And in doing so He has given us the MIND of Christ, brother. With that being said, you, a lover and doer of His Word, should be able to easily express the Spirit of Love to all by your slowness to speak in condemnation and your ability to quickness to lean towards patience.



The Spirit of God will not have anything to do with the soirit of strife.



ME: So why come and bring this striving spirit in your first comment of this topic and continue with it? Is the Spirit of God not that of Love, brother? Why so hostile so early in the morning?



May I suggest you take this contentious spirit you feel to the Lord in prayer, brother?



I love you, PJ. May Christ's commandment of Love be the first thought to wake you and the last thought to slumber by, brother.

The spirit of strife is the heart of all your post, your pointing the finger does not change that truth.



Jesus is not a debate...



To proclaim the truth one must first be subject to the truth.

ME: I did not come to this topic trying to incite strife. This person did with his first comment. "

Ths person still continued to do so with "Actually those that think they commune with God thru their mind are influenced by their emotion's. My father is a spirit and I am made in his likeness, and the source for all truth is the word of God. The Spirit of God will not have anything to do with the soirit of strife."







Jesus is not a debate...





ME: I never came to debate Jesus, bro. Who is debating Him?



What exactly did you come here to do? Because there is no evidence of peace in you, your posts or your topics, brother.





To proclaim the truth one must first be subject to the truth.



ME: I agree and to be subject to the truth one has to look into the Word of God and accept the truth of the text within its context and not according to what man teaches, brother.



So now that you claim to be subject to the truth can you please show me this other gospel of a different baptism and a different promise other than salvation, please, brother?



Thanks for your willingness to be subject to the truth of Scripture.

Agapeton you are not subject to the truth, you are here to stir up strife, and I have not seen one thing you say according to scripture, and it is not hard to walk in the light, but one must first be willing.



You approach the word of God mentally and then defend your right to do so, well you can but that does not change the word,



In your second response on this forum I confronted, I knew exactly how you approach the word of God and I knew who you would Get along with, because the two of you approach the lord the same way.



No man can do it without the Holy Spirit and he does not abide in any man's mind, nor is the mind of man spiritual.
