Bible Question:
How much do you think Jesus did in secret? How, why, and when did He hide His Deity? Do you think that He is hiding His Deity in this very verse? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: I'm a Master Mason. I am bombarded with this argument often. The only secret is not knowing and what does it have to do with salvation. Besides, Christ studied the secret teachings of his fathers. Therefore, he operated in private and in the public. Somethings are not to be mentioned because some aren't in a position to receive and understand the word of God. Time dictates when things are revealed to his Children. |
