John 10:30 Jesus said ; "I and my Father are one."
Every day, MHG. Every dusty, hot, cold, good, and bad day.
More Than Ever. In the Highest.
Thanx for your candor, friend. And you couldn’t be more right. Sometimes you DO have to talk to idiots according to their own cynical lack of spiritual insight. Jesus Christ was, is, and ever shall be the Son of God and the ONLY way to Eternal life whether the “all paths lead to God” fools wish to believe in him or not.
One day, sure as hell, they’ll know. All we can do is pray, on their behalf, that it’s not too late when they do.
Jesus said in Matt:12:30 and in Luke 11:23, "He who is not with me is against me..". I guess it makes a difference where you do your cherry picking from. It is called "context" but you probably aren't really interested in that.
It ain’t about us, Dude. It’s about Him. Take his body and his blood. He wanted it for everyone, not just American Republicans.
Love one another.
One in mind not in body!
John 14
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and "WE" will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Those who believe he is that same being, can never answer who is Jesus praying to in the Garden of Gethsemane to take the cup away!
If Jesus is the Father in Heaven too he would have to be praying to himself and I know Jesus is not bipolar!
Matt 26
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Luke 22
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
As Son of God (which he NEVER said), His teachings were immemorial and sublime. As Son of Man (in which He wrapped himself), He showed a lot of “brass”, while healing the sick amongst us, making a horrible sacrifice needed and (arguably) establishing Western Civilization.
Ironic that that freedom granted to us (to be overcome, by virtue of The Great Commission), could lead to the Second Coming.
We fall short. Easter blessings upon you, FRiend.
What did the ‘cup’ look like?
Even God the Father Himself doesn’t condemm, We are born condemmed ourselves by being seperated from God by our own (original) sin.
It’s not what we do to get comdemmed, but what HE (God) has done to repair that seperation or condemnation.
It’s interesting to read Genesis when Abraham is about to sacrifice his son Issac but God provides a ram instead. Whats interesting is the sequence of words saying that ‘God has provided Himself a sacrifice’ instead of ‘God Himself has provided a sacrifice’.
Jesus Christ is identified in the bible as ‘The Lamb that was slain since the foundation of the world’, and ‘the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world’.
Since Christians accept that Jesus is God Himself incarnate, we can see that God truely did provide Himself as the only sacrifice that was wholely acceptable to redeem us.
The story of Cain and Able is important because it sets the standard that the only acceptabel offering was an animal sacrifice, in other words, fulfilling the terms of what God Himself deems is acceptable. Anything other than what God set the standard as simply isn’t acceptable and instead is considered as being sinful.
Able met God’s requirement with an animal sacrifice while Cain tried to meet it with fruit of his own labor. Cain thought he was doing good, but he didn’t meet the standard. Cain out of jealousy of Able’s sacrifice being accepted while his own was rejected, Killed Able in rage.
The same situation still exists today with those willing to abey Gods requirements being persecuted by those who reject God’s requirements and want to substitute their own.
It’s amazing that some Jews want to resume Temple sacrifices and reject the entire New Covenant (New Testament) and God’s provision of Himself as a ‘one time for all time’ ultimate fulfillment of the requirement for the sin offering.
Please remember that when an animal is sacrificed for one’s sins, the animal itself is sinless. Only a perfect, spotless (sinless) sacrifice is acceptable. The bible declares that ‘none is righteous, no not one’ and it is impossible for man to redeem himself because he is not perfect or sinless.
The ONLY perfect sacrice is Jesus Himself, the Lamb of God who came to ‘fulfill the word, not abolish it’.
The bible states that “ he who hath the Son hath life, but he that hath not the Son hath not life, but (instead) the wrath of God abidith (remains) on him.
The animal sacrifices of the Old Testament were ‘types’ or ‘pictures’ of what God required and only ‘covered’ man’s sin. it never washed it away. It is only the blood of The Lamb (Jesus) which totally washes it (sin) away and it (the sin) remains no longer instead of simply being ‘painted over’ (covered).
If HE didn’t exit His tomb, you have an eternity of darkness. Not lol
..one small mistake by the video author—it is “He’s Alive”—which He is...
Jesus died and was buried and rose again the third day. That is the power of God unto salvation from every hindering influence in you life to those who believe. The Father loves every human on earth and wants his power to manifest in you life, but it will take faith.
Repent and believe, that is it. Do not follow the Ten Commandments, do not try to be good, if you sin, repent and keep going. You cannot convert in one day. God will change your heart over a period of time. Do not condemn yourself or let anyone else condemn you.
Read the Psalms out loud daily as you are able. Read Isaiah 52 the last 3 verses and Isaiah 53 out loud daily. The Psalms are prayers and Isaiah is the gospel prophesied. Let this get in your heart.
Forget sin, Jesus dealt with it, forget your own righteousness, its filthy. Only God knows who is going to hell and many "Christians" will go before the prostitutes and drunks.
He is risen.
Happy Easter. Please do look up “crucifiction.”
The anger and schadenfreude expressed by such people tells you who they are and what their real motivations are. They affiliate with the collective human ego-mind projection that is American Christianity for much the same reason that urban American teenagers join gangs.
For Seventeen hundred years, Resurrection Sundayb'shem Yah'shua
has been hidden from Elohim's Holy Feast of Pesach
by order of the Pagan Emperor Constantine.Since the Year 2000 the two events have coincided
each year as a reminder, that Yah'shua is the
Jewish Messiah who has extended His Salvation
to all of mankind.Yah'shua was the first born of YHWH as our Passover lamb.
The first born with his kind of body made/prepared by
the Father YHWH.We will also receive this kind of body at our resurrection!
