ArchivedJesuss Deity...
Peace Almonte, And do you need to have God tell you Himself that He is God in order for you to believe in Him? Because if that's the case He specifically didn't tell you but someone else [Mohammed] through someone else [angel gabriel]. And how can you believe a person when that person himself is not a god? In the OT many have spoken with God directly, there were a few that have received good news through the angels. Although in the NT we didn't see Jesus and God have a conversation together, but to us, HE IS God so we don't have that problem of understanding. We want to see spiritual things with our own eyes so that we will have comfort in our evil hearts [since to us, man is born inheritantly evil], but since God doesn't work this way to satisfy our own selfish desires, there is no way to convince people unless one opens up to the Holy Spirit. See, the devil prefers it this way because then he can control us and keep us away from our heavenly Father by using man made things such as "logic". I forgot the passage, but in the OT God did state that His way is not the way of man. It's very prevelant not only in the OT but more so in the NT and that sometimes confuses alot of people. Why should a God humble Himself and mingle with men/women/children? I've seen this explained hundreds of times on this site, but I just wanted to give my opinion on the matter since I've been pretty silent before and I am new too... ops: "I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life." The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You are bearing witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true." Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, or where I am going." (John 8:12-14) Jesus always spoke in parables to get a message across to people. One would think that when revealing Himself it would be that way as well. Why? "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him." Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 14:6-9) Peace |
