Because you are saying what Satan would say.
Exactly! I do not believe in your fake ascetic counterfeit Jesus. Never have, never will. You openly defy the Law of God and mislead others to do the same which amounts to murder.
You probably need to read John 5:24 and 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 again. In fact, why don't you post them and walk me through it.
Nah. You are on your own, pal.
According to Jesus in John 5:24 the one's that believe in him, like me, won't be judged. According to Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 you will be condemned for using deception to lead others away from Christ.
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life. Amen, amen, I say to you, the hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to his Son the possession of life in himself. And he gave him power to exercise judgment, because he is the Son of Man. Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation. “I cannot do anything on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me. ~Jesus
Yes, but only those who hear which isn't you who doesn't have an inkling that your sin is as obvious as a white boulder in the middle of a plowed field.
John 10:30-33: Jesus declares, "I and the Father are one," prompting listeners to accuse him of claiming to be God.
Jesus said, "God tells me what to say and how to say it.:" Jesus was not claiming the Divine name, the Divine name was making it clear that He, the Father, was speaking trough Jesus.
In John 12:23-27, Jesus declares "the hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified," referring specifically to his impending crucifixion and resurrection as the culmination of his mission. He contrasts this with previous moments, indicating that the time for his sacrifice and ultimate triumph over the world is now.
Jesus stated that HIS FATHER told him what to say and how to say it to emphasize his perfect obedience, divine authority, and total unity with the Father. His words were not personal opinions but direct, authorized messages from God, ensuring that his teachings were exactly what the Father intended to communicate.
Isaiah 45:3 promises that God will reveal "treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places" to Cyrus, symbolizing the transfer of Babylon’s immense, concealed wealth to him. Spiritually, it signifies finding divine strength, wisdom, and blessings within difficult times ("darkness") to recognize God's personal, sovereign power.
Not God. HIS FATHER.
These are not the words of a person who is at peace. These are the words of a person who is at war.
No, it has nothing to do with any sacrifice. "The time is now", while you still have a body, to rise from the dead. It is only these who hear the voice of the Son of God, and act on it, who have passed from death to life. This is the first resurrection. They have been judged worthy of eternal life. All who partake in the first resurrection cannot be harmed by the second death, (revelation 20:6) the death of the body, and so they will never know what its is to die.
The title of the passage is literally, The Coming of Jesus’ Hour.
Dude, I've heard of playing "Devil's Advocate", but you're taking it too far, IMO.Right.
You might not realize this being such a believer but to Jesus his disciples followers and the unknown authors of the Gospels who witnessed the destruction of Judea and the exile enslavement and slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Jewish men women and children the nations were the enemy. The Gospels were the 1st century equivalent of the nuclear option.
"Take from my hand this cup of fiery wine and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. When they have drunk it they will vomit and go mad; such is the sword that I am sending among them."
"Just art thou, in these thy judgments, thou Holy One who art and wast; for they shed the blood of thy people and of thy prophets and thou hast given them blood to drink."
He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.
