Hi DT,

“When all the people and the tax collectors heard this they acknowledged God’s justice, having been baptised with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God’s purpose for themselves, not having been baptised by John” Lk7.29

Folks do not know the deep wisdom of God

Hi DT,

To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God.

The mystery of the kingdom of God is the Holy Spirit which unlocks spiritual mysteries for those who share that blessing.

Those who do not share the blessing are blind to the message.

Not fair you say?

Hi DT,

“No lie was found in his mouth”

But you can accuse the Son of God of deception?

Hi DT,

Then the Lord said to Job;

“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty?

Let him who reproves God answer it”

then Job answered the Lord and said

”Behold I am insignificant ; what can I reply to you?

I lay my hand on my mouth. Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; even twice,

and I will add nothing more”

Job learned to fear…[Read more]

Hi DT,

Our God is beholden to no man. He is sovereign.
What He decrees happens despite the protesting opinions of mere men.

What about your god?

Hi Berean,

So easy to grab a hold of this free gift of God= repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus has fulfilled the requirements of the law for those in him. They inherit eternal life in him.

they have already passed over from death to life.

Too easy for some.

Hi Berean,

It is the Spirit of anointing that made the man Jesus different to us.

But by seeking the same anointing, following the instructions of God, given through Peter at Pentecost, we can be useful members of Christs body.

That is our hope

Hi Berean,

Men cannot save themselves.

The way of safety is by rebirth into the Son.

Hi Berean,

Indeed the angels knew the future role of the man who was to become the anointed one. Born of woman and born under the law the arrival of Jesus was part of the plan. It was exciting for them to see that plan of God being fulfilled.

We cannot follow God or a god.

We can follow a man into his death and resurrection and into the rest…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptised into Christ Jesus have been baptised into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so that we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Perhaps try your tools of understanding to this scripture.

“unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you will not have life in you”

Hi Berean,

Scripture is spiritual and needs the Spirit to grasp it.

Literalism falls short and logic is an inappropriate tool to use.

Hi DT,

The Lord Jesus lives in his brothers so men have that access through any who live in him.

Rebirth into him is possible by water and the Spirit and that enables access to his Father too.

Hi DT,

You judge the son of God for perceived unfairness?

The Son only does what the Father tells him so you judge God by your standards?

It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God but maybe you don’t Fear Him either?

Hi PC,

Those who heard Jesus and were unable to discern what came from God in him were at a distinct disadvantage and often walked away .

Jn 6.66

As a result of this many disciples withdrew and were not walking with him anymore. So Jesus said to the 12,

”You do not want to go away also do you?”

Simon Peter answered him

”Lord, to whom shall…[Read more]

Hi PC,

Jn 6

“My words are Spirit and they are life.”

”I am the bread of life”

”I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever, and the bread also that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh”

” Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his…[Read more]

Hi PC,

”You are the Christ, the son of the living God”

who said that?

Peter?

Jesus said to him

”Blessed are you Simon Barjona. Because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father Who is in heaven..”

Why are you so slow to recognise the work of God among men?

Hi Berean,

You believe you have found contradictions in scripture.?

Sorry but they do not exist.

Unspiritual folk misread spiritual words.

Hi Berean,

You have got yourself into a tricky spot and find your words contradict what is written.

Stop and reassess your position rather that stubbornly blocking your ears.

Remember Berean,

God is one.

There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ.

Very basic scriptural truth.
