Bible Note: Hi, Hank! Thank you for your kind words! "some people just don't get it? Or don't want to" I agree with you 100 percent! I have met quite a few... they go out of their way to learn and recite Scripture... some even call themselves "Christians..." yet they deny the Lord! Their ability to emphasize some of Jesus words (when His words seem to, at least superficially, supports their views), while completely ignoring or rejecting everything else He has said is totally bewildering! They remind me of the Pharisees and Sadducees... they recognized that Jesus claimed to be Divine, and they recongnized that His deeds were indeed of Divine origins, yet they fervently refused to humble themselves to God's revelations! (Matthew 17:5) Sadly, those who reject Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are being fooled by blind teachers who themselves cannot see that Jesus is God... some even attempt to compartmentalize God into levels of power or authority! These poor souls are as blind as Saul was since they persecute Christ for the sake of serving God! We must pray ardously for their release--it is evident that Satan has them under his power since they can see the Gate but they refuse to enter! God Bless! Angel |
