1 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | seeking4truth | 101538 | ||
Hi Ken, You wrote: For your consideration, let's see what the scriptures have to say: Psalm 30:2-3 - O Lord my God, I CRIED to You for help, and You healed me. O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit. Psalm 40:1,6 - I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my CRY... Sacrifice and meal offering You have NOT desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. Psalm 50:13-15 - "Shall I (GOD) eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of male goats? Offer to God a sacrifice of THANKSGIVING and pay your vows to the Most High. CALL upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me." Psalm 51:16-17 - For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a BROKEN SPIRIT; A BROKEN AND CONTRITE HEART, O God, You will NOT despise. Micah 6:6-8 - With what shall I come to the Lord and bow myself before the od on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves? Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams, in ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you, O man, what is good; and what DOES the Lord REQUIRE OF YOU but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Post by seeking4truth, scriptures by God |

2 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101543 | ||
Sure. The above doesn't speak of standing in the presence of God but only being rescued or delivered. None of what you posted qualifies for reconcilation. Only innocent blood can stand in the presence of God and live. | ||||||

Well, I'm not so sure, Ken. You wrote: "It's always been a "blood" demand with God." I've posted verses that seem to speak to the contrary. But we all tend to believe what we want to believe. Again, that is what much of these threads are about in this topic - that WE pick and choose which verses we want to hold to and which ones we want to reason away or ignor. To me, this smacks of the same sin that brought humanity's downfall in the first place - "Did God REALLY say...?" And I am not so sure about the statement of only innocent blood standing in the presence of God either. Jesus was, as I understand it, righteous, not innocent. Innocent denotes not knowing right or wrong (as Adam and Eve were before the fall). Righteous denotes a positive component of moral perfection, not innocence. But these are the fallible thoughts of a fallen creature (myself). seeking4truth |

["It's always been a "blood" demand with God." I've posted verses that seem to speak to the contrary] But you haven't. Lets begin with that fact. |
