Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Beware those who first must claim the Holy Scriptures to be errant from the truth.
Without the Holy Scriptures........there would be no Judeo/Christian religion. No one is born into a religion........God requests that you seek and come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim. 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9) That truth today can only be found in the by product of God's prophets and scribes........The Holy Scriptures. God plays no favorites, He simply commands worship to be in Spirit and Truth. The Age of Miracles died when the last Apostle of Christ took his last breath, only they had the power and authority to defend the truth from God with signs and wonders as provided by the Holy Spirit of God. Anyone that declares they Talk to God or Jesus and He talks back..........they are liars or mentally unstable. Today God speaks only through the Inspired Message presented by His Son........Christ Jesus (Heb. 1:1)
(Read Acts 8).....you will find the gifts from the Spirit came only by the laying on of the hands of an Apostle of Christ....with Paul being the last Apostle appointed by Christ, yet lacking in nothing as far a demonstrating the signs of an Apostle (Gal. 1:11-24). Called by Christ to be an Apostle (Romans 1:1). Paul was an Apostle to the gentiles (Romans 11:13). He was an Apostle through God's will (1 Cor. 1:1, 2 Cor.1:1, Eph. 1:1, Col. 1:1, 2 Tim. 1:1). Paul was accepted as an equal by the other Apostles of Christ who were tasked with converting the Jews, while Paul was appointed by the Christ to preach to the gentiles., but was not limited to preaching to the Gentiles......has he even challenged Peter concering the Jewish pratice of circumcision (Gal. 2:11-13)
Those who seek God and can't find Him lack the understanding that the Kingdom of God is a Spiritual Kingdom that rests within those who would serve God. Its never been about one race of peoples being superior to other races based upon religion, gender, race or social status.........all are one when they are baptized into Christ (Gal. 2:28-29). God has made of one blood all the races and nations on earth...........all seeking and groping to find God, without ever realizing We all exist Within God and have our very being/existence (Acts 17)
