Bible Note: Truthfinder, This is as close as I have noticed you come to fully accepting Christ in your statement: "...He shows that those who received Christ Jesus, exercising faith in his name, were given “authority to become God’s children, . . . [being] born, not from blood or from a fleshly will or from man’s will, but from God.” ..." To add to the fine scriptures and comments of Nolan, Colin, DarcyA, and Hank, I wanted to encourage you to not be afraid to go the next step and confess Christ's full deity. Scripturally, what is the danger? I know that you see this is as not the real truth. But, please think about what Apostle Paul or Christ Himself might say if you could speak to him right now, directly. I think that they would say the same things that we are saying. Also, notice that Moses, Job, Abraham, Isaiah, and others in the old testament did not have new testament scriptures as we have. But, they still recognized Christ's full deity! John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 45Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you--Moses, in whom you trust. 46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" Truthfinder, when you really find Christ, you have found the truth: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. |
