Subject: Can the Bible and Jesus be Idols? |
Bible Note: Greetings, it is a pleasure to get your inquiry. Let me first say what "true repentance" isn't. True Repentance isn't going from the left to the right so to speak...going from obvious sin to human morality...Even Pagans attempt and many times succeed in this pursuit...as do Mormons, JW's, and Buddhists, etc.. "True Repentance" is being buried... (Image of seed being buried in the ground/mammon system (dead to the works of it) and being supernaturally resurrected to produce fruit in the Unseen City/New Jerusalem ***Of course Jesus was/is an Example of this)... in Him (Christ) and crucified to "all the works of the flesh/good and bad." ***Please read Hebrews 3 and 4 in regards to entering into God's Sabbath Rest and keep in mind "those who He said didnt enter into His Rest because of unbelief" knew of God and believed in Him, but they pursued righteousness in their own strength rather than by faith (Faith is Christ flowing through our crucified souls which is God granting us repentance/a foundation in New Jersualem). Please read Romans 10:2 and 2Tim 3:5 to see that it is not only possible to believe in God, and yet not be have faith (Christ living a truly repentant life through our crucified souls...), but it is quite common... ...and remember there is nothing new under the sun/The Son... Just as the Physical Jews claimed that Abraham was their Father, and that they knew and served God, so do Apostate Christians claim that Jesus is their Lord, and that they have a personal relationship with Him, but there are no "true works of repentance." They sow and reap in the mammon system which the God of Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob doesn't do... Again, thanks 4 your inquiry, and I look forward to hearing from you again... |
