Do you abide in the vine? Are you a branch producing fruit?

Question

Jesus said that if you abide in Him and His Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will & it shall be done for you. John15.

Swiss guard, Jesus is the vine, not the Pope.

Spirit wanderer, Christians 'weren't praying' when 9/11 happened. Christians 'were praying' when the terrorist were caught at the airport before they were able to do a horrid terrorist attack. This was prophecied of before hand by Kim Clement. http://www.kimclement.com .

Bro.Dan, There are more branches abiding in the vine than just you.

Answer 1

First of all I don't have enough room to write it all.
But you have to look at the context of what he was saying.
He(Jesus) is talking about fellowship.
When you do God's word(obey,faithful etc.) you are in fellowship. Because you will be doing what he asks you.
He wants us to pray to him every day being apart of our every
moment. And when we believe that his son (Jesus) is our
Lord we all become connected.
It's a parable: The vine of a plant is connected all through the
plant. Every part of that plant is one.
When we are God's and love him with all our heart,soul,mind
and strength then we truly love God.And we will abide there.
Like I said I don't have enough room but God Bless you and I
hope this helps!

Answer 2

Aren't you thinking in circles?

Jesus' words, no matter how you interpret them, have many meanings. His word, as translated into English, has been ascribed a connotation that Christians and other faiths, believe indicate a solid foundation for their dogma.

However, I am an interpreter and know that translations are not exact. The best an interpreter can do at times is "symbolize", using commonly understood terms for the translation into a language that does not translate EXACTLY.

People would be much happier and wiser if they could understand that the "word" lives inside you. That you "abide" by the "word" inside you. No one else has to hear the "word" the way you do.

Interpreting or interpretation is the intellectual activity that consists of facilitating oral or sign language communication, either simultaneously or consecutively, between two or among three or more speakers who are not speaking, or signing, the same language.

The words interpreting and interpretation both can be used to refer to this activity, the word interpreting is commonly used in the profession and in the translation studies field in avoiding the other meanings of the word interpretation.

How Ironic is that?

Answer 3

Jesus is the vine, our sustenance. basically he's the only which could make you a branch in the winery (the dominion of God). John 15:5 "i'm the vine you're the branches: He that abides in me and that i in him a similar bringeth forth plenty fruit for devoid of me ye can do no longer something."

Answer 4

I imbibe of the vine all the time. I feel that wine is an important part of the dinner table and my doctor agrees.

Seriously, he recommends that I drink 2 glasses of wine a day for my heart and it's a recommendation that I gladly follow.

Answer 5

I abide in Jesus, not in any group. I have much fruit, but I don't organize them into a group.

Answer 6

Really then? So when Christians pray and beg for wars to end, why don't they end? When Christians ask for world peace, where's the peace? When they pray for a cure to all disease, etc., where's the cures? I see none so far....and these are from die hard Christians that you have described...so I guess I blew that theory outta the water?

Answer 7

I produce fruit in God,not jesus

Answer 8

no I'm human, not a plant of any kind, so the only "fruit " i could produce would be a child, and I'm not planning on that for a long while yet.

Answer 9

If we ask according to the will of God. He will grant our petitions. That is Bible. Also, if we are truly the Christian we should be we will friuts to show for it. That's what it means to me,

Answer 10

Yes.
