1 | Pure joy in Heaven? | Rev 7:9 | FreeThinker | 84739 | ||
"You can't even prove, in the sense you are talking about, that your own great great great grand mother existed, except by the fact of your own existence." Again you are going off track. My great great great grand mother is not said to have the power to come and go as she pleases. We know and understand how procreation works and since I was born before test tube babys, it is easy to deduce that she existed. With my response, I gave you Title and Author so that you could do research if you liked. Be do the same. I would like to see writings from the time and from other than christian and christian, other than the bible. Thanks |

FreeThinker, Emmaus made a very interesting comment: "How do you know Jesus does not make Himself known to them at the moment of their death and let them make a decision? It is still through Jesus." The revelation of Jesus (the Gospel) in the Old Testament was vailed. But by faith Jesus did make Himself known. Job spoke of his Redeemer: Job 19 25 I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet [5] in [6] my flesh I will see God; 27 I myself will see him with my own eyes-I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! He revealed Himself to Samuel: 1 Samuel 3 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD : The word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. ... 10 The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" Then Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening." ... 21 The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word. See also Romans 4 and Hebrews 11-12. It was not through proof that God made himself known, but through faithful reponse to His word. How could it be any other way? Didn't Adam and Eve have all the proof they needed, and also Lucifer? Criminals "know" that police exist, but the state of sin they have does not stop their criminal behavior. What is better, reponse to "proof" or reponse to "faith"? You remind me of Ateo. If you are he then I am still looking into your questions and plan to get back to you. Also, keep going to church. Try to find a knowledgable friend that will not mind answering your questions in person. Pastor Glenn |
