Do I know God? He's omnipresent, so yeah, we hang out all the time. It's like He's always there.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
The narrow gate may be a trick to sucker idiots, though, particularly those who inappropriately think they are different from others.
The central characteristic of Moses is that he's a humble man.
In what sense?
Jesus proceeds explaining that a bad tree cannot produce good fruit, so you can tell the good prophet from that bad and not by his words or by his silver tongue or behavior on stage but by his deeds, his humility (aka seeing others as better than himself and pursuant to that not living better off than others).
So Jesus' fruit, based on his teachings, are not rotten but just kind of meh?
Jesus taught in a prayer to his Father in heaven at
John 17:1-6,26--He said at verse 3 the one who sent him= Father(
John 5:30) is THE ONLY TRUE GOD( and one MUST know him and know Jesus to get eternal life)---verse 6= YHWH(Jehovah) 26 = YHWH(Jehovah)
El was also worshiped. In more ancient tales, He'd be Yahweh's dad or father in law. Which One do I pick? Can I pick both? What about the Wives and Kids?
I see Jesus speaking of the God the Jews saw over what the Father is. Which is why they tried to kill him (stones) and eventually did.
*sigh* Romans killed Jesus.
He clearly stated that the Jews father was a "liar and murderer" and not the God he came from. Their actions just proved his words.
And naturally the people writing the stories would never lie about such a thing.
John 10:
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
I thought OT prophets were supposed to lead us to Jesus? So, they were all liars? What does that make Jesus?
Especially all have been watching Revelation pass before their eyes for many years, yet few have a clue.
Weird stuff happens every year.
The Israelites were Gods chosen.
According to them, anyway.
Israel had the true living God.
But they still had God. What's the problem?
God inspired his written word.
You'd think God would be a better author.
Jesus corrects them that they are NOT the chosen nation. God was meant for all. The Jews were thieves.
That's not what he was complaining about. Imagine some homeless looking guy going into a Christian book store and assaulting people and chasing them out and destroying the book displays.
Ruth was a moabitess--They served false gods--She served the true God along with Israel.
Well, given that she would have been stoned to death if she didn't ....
I see a God who wanted to destroy the world , then a God who wanted to save the world.
And then He decides to just destroy it anyway, after it was supposedly "fixed".
I don't see the Father killing any man.
He kills more life forms in the bible than any other character.
Only one has Jesus the rest do not.
Which one? None of the denominations were around then.
At the end of revelation, Jesus leads Gods armies to the earth to kill all of the wicked and wickedness.
God's armies can be defeated with chariots of iron and we have missiles and tanks now. I'll be interested to see how that goes.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Warring against kings? Attempted murder of one's kids? Marrying sisters? Lying about said marriage for tax breaks in other nations? Asking God to spare a horrible nephew who would see his own daughters get raped? Kicking out one of your sons because your wife is a horrible person?
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Jews: We love God. Why are you making this about YOU? What does being a child of God have to do with it? We ALL are. Your Dad will later tell your most arrogant of students that no one should call anything God made unclean, yet here you are. You say people who call others fools will burn in hell, yet you have done so. If you come from God, why are you such a hypocrite? *reads God's actions throughout the scriptures* Never mind.
He will NEVER be ahead of Gods son.
God's son is said to have to come back to fix what should've been a done deal the first time. Maybe before Jesus shows back up, God will tutor him better.
Read Rev 13-- it has been occurring for years.
Life ends for all living people, except maybe asexually reproducing things. I accept mortality.
