AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance and only expression of the glory of [our awesome] God [reflecting God's Shekinah glory, the Light-being, the brilliant light of the divine], and the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father's] essence, and upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal].

Bible Question: What do you say to a person who says, "I don't believe that Jesus is God because in the old testament, God told Moses that no one could see His face and live." What they are really saying is, if Jesus is God, then everyone who saw Him would've died. |
Bible Answer: Dear Humility, with a person like you mentioned, sometimes it is best just to state plainly the gospel which is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. A person who does not have the spirit of God could not comprehend the bible because it is spirtually discerned. Only after an individual believes in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord does he begin to understand the living word. You can always share the love of Christ with them and how your life has changed since following Him. I have always been taught to keep the focus on the cross and the love of God. Hope this helps, Sincerely, Val |
