Further dialogue would be unfruitful. In a post you said you would [have] believed if the risen Jesus had shown himself to the scribes and Pharisees.

Good grief, why would showing Himself to the scribes and Pharisees be a priority for Jesus Christ — even though it seems to be a priority for kosta? They had already utterly rejected Him. Moreover, they were the proximate cause of His suffering and ignominious death on the Cross.

There seems to be a lesson here for kosta, "if he has the ears to hear it."

Our Lord Jesus Christ didn't come to score points against scribes and Pharisees, but to save the souls of those who love Him.

Thank you so much, dear Godzilla, for your many trenchant essay/posts on this topic, in particular this latest.

If Christ had revealed Himself in power all at once to everyone, there would be no room for faith.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1

But the day will come, in the end, when He will do just that.

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. - Matthew 24:27

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. - Revelation 1:7

I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. - Isaiah 45:23

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:10-11

God's Name is I AM.
