Hi,

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.  For if you believed Moses you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But f you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?

jn 5.45f

“You are his disciple but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man , we do not know where he is from”

The man answered and said to them,

” Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has just opened my eyes. We know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyon…[Read more]

Hi Desiretruth,

So you can see that God does not care about the roadblocks placed to stop folks accepting the message? That is His design. He knows only the desperate and hopeless will be willing to commit  intellectual suicide and walk by faith, not by sight.

have you been called yet?

Hi Desiretruth,

For the wisdom of God is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it must s the power of God.

For it is written

I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age?

Has not God made…[Read more]

Hi Desiretruth,

God deliberately offers simplicity defying the logical mindset of humans.

He requires blind faith in Him and His servants.

Jesus came to save sinners.

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad for your reward in heaven is great for…[Read more]

Hi Desiretruth,

Following the death of His son at the hands of unbelievers he was raised back to life. Then the Spirit he had been given was shared with all who obey His son, so that he still lives in a remnant people and so the efforts to silence him can only lead to frustration of their hopes. He is Lord of all and it is safest to be on his…[Read more]

Hi Desiretruth,

It seems that you have identified yourself as an unbeliever.
No problem.  The world is full of them and unless God steps in that is what you will remain.
God has sent His Son and is unlikely to do anything else if you choose not to respond to His gift.

I praise you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the wise and clever, and revealing them to mere children.

mt 13

Surely salvation cannot be that easy. Surely my striving would help God save me.

Freedom is a scary concept so perhaps I can find more rules and regulations to help me.

So when you had your life changing experience you tossed the baby out with the bath water and now only see the OT as given by God?

But then I guess you do not accept anything through Paul as being anointed.

I suppose all the letters of the apostles are also anathema to you. Acts as well?

Hi Desiretruth,

If you would like to be in control of the dialogue perhaps you should have your own site?

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.(Rom 3.22)

That is why all must repent.

Hi Desiretruth,

Scripture has offered you the answers but you didn’t listen?

Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom is like the head of a household who brings out of his treasure things new and old.

matt 13.52

Hi desiretruth,

So when was your life overturned?

Fear is not the issue for me but it may be for you.

The Holy Spirit is daunting for many because it means loss of control and being used by God for His purposes and not ours.

Human religion and legal requirements seem much safer for many.

When was your life overturned?

Hi Dt,

The NT offers life to men in the Son of God.

It is the final offer from God to men.

Unless you repent you will all likewise perish.

Sadly many prefer old wine to new.

Brethren, my heart’s desire  and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. For I testify about them that they have zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they do not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law…[Read more]
