Bible Question:
Hi, appreciate your view, i've always taken the view you've put, but wanted to try and explore the scripture in more depth rather than just take the 'normal' answer, since in my study times i'm wanting to really start to explore the 'whys' behind scripture and be safe in asking the pointy questions of God, and i guess the Gospel of John is the first book i've started to really 'get into' rather than just 'get through' if you see what i mean. I was wondering for myself, if in someway Jesus was able to see things like they would be taking place in the heavenlies, and therefore just doing the same here on earth, since the knock on implication is, if Jesus was able to see what the Father was doing in the heavenlies, then why can't we, and then do as we see the Father do, hope this makes sense?? |
Bible Answer: There is a verse that says we see through a glass dimly but when we go home we will see clearly. I admire your desire to study more in depth. There is an excellent Precept bible study on John. They have a website and excellent resources that teach you how to study just the way you have expressed interest in. They have helped me tremendously and continue to They are out of Chattaooga, TN. The most interesting fact is that you will learn to know God the Father and our Lord Christ Jesus better and better as you dig out these answers for yourself especially when we heed the word by obeying those things we learn. There are some things we will never understand until we get home. I don't really understand your last question but I will tell you this many people believe they may become gods and as the end approaches this will become more and more prevalent. It is false. The bible says God will not share His glory with anyone. I am not assuming this is what you meant. I hope you will continue in the word and prayer. May God bless you. |
