Bible Question:
Dear Welldigger, I'm curious. Are you saying that you have discovered a way to live in perfect obedience to the Law? John |
Bible Answer: Yes, but I really didn't "discover it", God showed it to me. I know it SOUNDS crazy, but you have to let Him show you in the scriptures FIRST and then you make that call yourself. It's just like Nicodemus said: Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) DOTH OUR LAW JUDGE ANY MAN, BEFORE IT HEAR HIM, AND KNOW WHAT HE DOETH? They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. And every man went unto his own house. (John 7:45-53) Were they wrong about no prophet being fortold to come out of Galilee? What would have been the difference if they just had been willing to hear the Word (Jesus), and THEN judge whether or not He was true? All that is required is that someone will be honest with themselves and with God and be willing to reason with God in the scriptures. If they are willing, He will show them by studying the scriptures with a person who He has already shown (Acts 8 - Philip and the eunuch). I am nothing, He is everything. He has shown me, and if you want Him to show you, all you have to do is be honest and believe what God says plainly in the scriptures as we study them together. There is only one Way, one faith, one belief about Jesus that does NOT disagree with any of the witness from God about Jesus, the scriptures. Any belief that DOES disagree with one or more scriptures cannot be the truth from God, because God cannot lie. Let me know if you are willing to hear Him. |
