Heaven can only have one Supreme Being. A Supreme Being that will never consent to become a student to be taught wisdom and truths by any of His fallen and very sinful human creatures. Humans who characteristically do things like democratically electing Adolf Hitler to power . . . . . . and who follow the Rev Jim Jones to Jonestown and drink the Kool Air and near 1000 then lay down to die . . . . . . and who follow David Koresh (Branch Dividians) 75 of 84 DIED ... and the Heavens Gate Cult - 39 dead by suicide . . . . . . then World War 1 the totally unnecessary war that killed many millions and all for absolutely NOTHING . . . So? So why would God want to be taught by the likes of fallen corrupted and in many cases totally INSANE humans? Why put any faith in nutty insane dangerous human beings? Just the opposite the . . . Lord Jesus said, "Have faith in God." {Mark 11:22} And you will for certain make a Free Will decision on that and you will end up saying either: (1) Yes I will have faith in God and allow God to teach me what He wants me to know. or you will end up saying: {2) I will not. NO NO NO, I will NOT. (and THAT leads to John 3:16's perish) Thoughts? JAG [] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Infinite cannot be subordinate to the Finite. The Eternal cannot be subsumed by the Temporal. The Creator cannot be subjugated by His Creation. Psa 94:8-15 Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise? (9) He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? (10) He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge? (11) The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile. (12) Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O LORD, And teach out of Your law, (13) That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked. (14) For the LORD will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance. (15) But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who me Posted February 5, 2023 Group: Royal Member Followers: 5 Topic Count: 17 Topics Per Day: 0.01 Content Count: 3,300 Content Per Day: 1.72 Reputation: 1,686 Days Won: 0 Joined: 01/27/2019 Status: Offline Share Posted February 5, 2023 Many people have questions about Christianity and about whether there is a God. Ask questions of them establishes more about where they are and how honest they are about seeking God. Basic questions are:- What do you believe? What evidence do you have for that belief? But even more challenging is to ask , what evidence would you accepte that demonstrates there is a God? Why is that acceptable? and What are you going to do about the evidence that there is a God? To expect a miraculous sign to prove God exists is not reasonable, especaily if that sign does not lead to a change in belief and practice of the sceptic. We have to be able to give a reason for our faith, equally the skeptic should give a reason for there unbelief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever is NOT of faith is VAIN. In my new testament findings VAIN equates to USELESS, for the holder / user . The word must be rightly divided in context within the harmony of the scriptures and must be God's doctrine NOT be by "private interpretation", NOR the doctrines of men, such as in cults started by so called prophets, visionaries, ect whether male or female! I follow, as do others, the Gospel of Jesus Christ of the N.T. ; the founding PRINCIPAL of SALVATION. By his apostles he continues to instruct us in our journey of THE WAY that we may grow steadfast, unshakeable, having our eyes fixed upon the mark of the prize......the high calling of God ! Teach me O Lord that I may be as that tree planted by the waters whose roots are soooooo deep that no storm, temptation, trial, loss, grief, hurt, or anything shall be able to separate me from MY GOD; MY SAVIOUR; MY REDEEMER, THE LOVER OF MY SOUL, ALL THAT EVER WAS, IS OR WILL BE ! AMEN ! Edited February 6, 2023 by Keturah 123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Brother.. I know what your saying but what comes to mind is "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity;" Then James tells us draw near to me I will draw near to you. For me to draw near to God I have to be seeking. Then as Christ or God said "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Now ALL that being said for anyone to seek GOD He first found you gave you that desire. I think that's what you meant which is true. No one comes to God unless He draws them first. I just wanted to add the other verses lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
