Bible Note: All through scripture we see people questioning things they could not reconcile to scripture as they understood it. So Jesus gave us a test. If it glorifies God and brings people to the saving knowledge of God then it must be of God. Luke 11:17-18 (NASB) 17 But He knew their thoughts and said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls. 18 "If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? ... Mark 9:39-41 (NASB) 39 But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. 40 "For he who is not against us is for us. 41 "For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward. Acts 14:4 (NASB) 4 But the people of the city were divided; and some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles. |
