in context helps..


Jhn 20:20
And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
Jhn 20:21
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
Jhn 20:22
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Jhn 20:23
Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

so much for Not judging though.. I believe the whole point of the holy spirit is to Judge rightly..

Could you expound on what he meant please rather than just quoting scripture. Thanks x

It was a common greeting. Don't read more into it than need be. He was there to prove that he had risen from the dead. The exact word he used there was not as important as the fact that he was appearing to the disciples in flesh, having risen.

So you do not believe that everything Jesus spoke was in the Spirit. You think he went around saying things like "how's it going". He never spoke one idle word. He spoke who he was and everytime he spoke something, something wonderful happened.

No man spoke like this man John 7:46.

Camps the fluffy stuffy lovey new ager taking the scripture out of context and creating his own theology.

He's a man, so yes. He greeted them. He said "Hello".

OK? So you think every single word he ever spoke was a completely serious and solemn word?

Stop trying to read into every single word in the text. His greeting was not the major part of that passage.

No, I believe everything he said was life to the hearer. Unlike the written word . The letter kills. His greetings without fail put the hearer at peace or because he spoke peace to whoever he wanted it enraged those whom the letter was killing. So everything he said affected someone.

They marveled at the gracious words that came out of his mouth.

There is only one way you can hear the voice of a God and that is when you are still((at peace) Be at peace and know that I am God. Yes of cause I'm taking it out of the context of your comprehension of the scriptures.

It seems strange that a "greeting" should come in the middle of a conversation as well as at the beginnning. Seems to be stressing the meaning. Maybe we should look at what that phrase is connected to; the fact that Jesus was "sending" them into the world just as the Father sent Him.

Jesus was attempting to calm. I can only imagine the grief and chaos and fear after Rome murdered him.

In peace. If they did not go out in peace they would have failed before they opened their pie holes.

You shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace ( I'm obviously quoting this out of context)
