Bible Answer: "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." A god who will not show himself? John 20:26-29 (ESV) Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." [27] Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe." [28] Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" [29] Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." 1 Timothy 3:16 :: Amplified Bible (AMP) (16) And great and important and weighty, we confess, is the hidden truth (the mystic secret) of godliness. He [[1] God] was made visible in human flesh, justified and vindicated in the [Holy] Spirit, was seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, [and] taken up in glory. ------- Footnote 1. Some manuscripts read "God." 1 Timothy 3:16 :: New Living Translation (NLT) (16) Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith: Christ[1] appeared in the flesh and was shown to be righteous by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and was announced to the nations. He was believed on in the world and was taken up into heaven. ------- Footnote 1. 3:16a Greek Who; some manuscripts read God. Hebrews 1:1-3a :: Amplified Bible (AMP) (1) IN MANY separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets, (2) [But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order]. (3) He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. Hebrews 1:1-3a :: New Living Translation (NLT) (1) Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. (2) But now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he made the universe and everything in it. (3) The Son reflects God's own glory, and everything about him represents God exactly. He sustains the universe by the mighty power of his command. |
