Bible Note: At John 10:30, WHO said that Jesus was equal to God Almighty. Similarly, the Muslims like to use the Scripture at John 1:19-21 to say that the prophet in question here was Muhammad. But, WHO really ASKED these questions. Clearly, if they WERE INSPIRED MEN OF GOD ALMIGHTY, they would have accepted Jesus Christ, as the promised Messiah[Anointed One]. There is NOT A SHRED of DOUBT in my mind, that there is NO CONTRADICTION in the Holy Writings of God Almighty, JEHOVAH. Those of us who CANNOT SEE the LIGHT from God Almighty shining through the good news about the Christ [anointed One] Jesus, the Word of God, to them 2 Corinthians 4:3 to 4 apply. If, now, the good news we declare is in fact VEILED, it is VEILED among THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING, AMONG WHOM the god of THIS system of things has BLINDED the MINDS of the UNBELIEVERS that the ILLUMINATION of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might NOT SHINE THROUGH. John 4: 23, reads: Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS will worship the Father with spirit AND TRUTH, for, indeed, the Father is LOOKING FOR suchlike ones to worship him. Verse 24 of John 4 reads: God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him MUST worship with spirit AND TRUTH. From the above we should SEE that Almighty God REQUIRES that we worship Him in SPIRIT and TRUTH. In spirit would refer to God's holy spirit or active force. At Galatians 5:16 to 18, we read: But I say, keep walking by SPIRIT and you will carry out NO FLESHLY DESIRE at all. For the FLESH is AGAINST the SPIRIT in its DESIRE, and the spirit is against the flesh, for these are OPPOSED to each other, so that the very things that you would like to do you do not do. Furthermore, if you are being LED by spirit, you are NOT UNDER LAW. Fruitage of spirit At Galatians 5:22, 23 we read: On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONG-SUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MILDNESS, SELF-CONTROL. Against such things there is NO LAW. TRUTH At Psalm 119:160 it reads: The SUBSTANCE of your word IS TRUTH, And EVERY righteous judicial decision of yours is to TIME INDEFINITE. Jesus Christ has said that he had the TRUTH from God, whilst accusing some Jews of following Satan, the father of the LIE. At John 8: 40, it reads: But you are seeking to kill me, a man that has told you the TRUTH that I HEARD FROM God. Abraham did not do this. |
