Subject: Where does Jesus say He is God? |
Bible Note: Hi When I was younger I was not interested of any type of religion. I thought that the whole world was corrupt, including all religions.My answer to life was to live isolated.Well I got married and ofcourse I never really got to live that way for very long.I always looked at the world and religions from the third person point of view. Life was a prison sentence. School was a joke, they teach you history but they don't learn from it.I would have liked to learn things from the natural world, but school was 12 years of nothing.I was pretty bitter about people and conditions.It seemed to me that people had alot more going for them than what the were doing. It just didn't make sense. I had gone to a number churches with my parents when I was younger, Mormons, United, Pentacostal, and also looked into a few Eastern religions.But there was nothing really stuck, they just didn't have the answers I was looking for. I looked a nature and just knew something had made all this,( it was like the hardware was great but the software was full of bugs) Then one day someone showed me from the Bible why things were the way they were. That God had a plan but people were just not following it.Like the Bible says they had a form of Godly devotion but proved false to it's power. It also meant that I had to change some of my ideas too.There were 39 writers over a period of 1500 years and no contradictions and one theme, Gods Kingdom to be restored on earth and heaven.Finally something that made sense, and the way the world should be. But the Bible says that narrow is the road and few are the ones finding it. The Bible also says that the truths are hidden so that the ones with the right heart will be the ones that come to an accurate knowledge, and do Gods will. It made perfect sense to me.It also meant the you would have to struggle for it, for the Bible says that it is the one that endures to the end that will be saved. I did not go into this lightly, everthing in the Bible had to have backing, none of this mystery stuff. It's not the Bible that flawed it is peoples hearts, and that is not easy to change. Hope I didn't bore you, but I didn't know how else to answer you message. jme |
