What a fascinating and astonishing religious philosophy. Because I am told by God and His Son Jesus, to Seek Him, and I do, you preach to the world that I am contradicting Scripture, lying to you, and abusing scripture and that I don't believe God, because David said among men who say there is no God, "there is none that seek God".
When I show you David and Paul's actual words, you completely ignore them, refusing to even acknowledge they even exist .
And then you accuse me of Abusing Scripture and that I don't believe God.
It's OK that you do these things, Jesus said you would. I was just hoping for more of an actual discussion about what is written.
Now Wait a minute Dan, You have said over and over, "there is none that seek after God". When I point to Scriptures that show men who, like myself, have and continue to Seek God, to Seek His face, to Seek His Righteousness, you accuse me of "Abusing Scripture", of "Twisting Scripture", basically lying about both God and myself. And you accuse me of not believing God.
But now, all of the sudden, your preaching has changed. Now all the sudden, are were actually men that do seek God. Which is what the Scriptures I posted, that you called irrelevant, have said all along.
Fascinating.
I see, so in your religion, God just randomly picks men to seek Him, not by them
humbling themselves, as the Scriptures teach, but by some secret Holy Lottery in which even though God
tells all men to SEEK Him,
He withholds the capacity to do so for many, based on nothing a man chooses. And of course HE chose you but apparently didn't choose me.
Imagine that.
I see, so the Bible, the Prophets, Jesus, the Apostles, all of the Scriptures are a lie in your religion? All Irrelevant in your religion. All the pleading with God to the people of the earth to turn to Him, to Seek Him, is all a deception, Hollywood, an illusion. All Jesus' teaching for men to "repent" and "come to Him, just an illusion because men have no choice, and never had a choice in the matter.
So then, according to what you call the "Facts" of your religion, Abraham's Righteousness and faith were given to Abraham by God, based on nothing Abraham chose to do or even wanted. While the same God withheld from the men of Sodom, the same Faith and the same Righteousness or the desire to have them. Then the same God destroyed the men of Sodom,
"because" there was no one righteous among them.
What a Fascinating judgment
against God. That HE tells men over and over and over and over in the Holy Scriptures,
to turn to Him in repentance, but according to your religion, withholds from them the ability for them to do so. Then slaughtered them by the thousands when they refused to turn to Him in repentance.
While at the same time forcing others like Abraham, based on no choice they ever made or desire they ever exhibited,
to turn to Him in repentance, promising to reward them with the gift of eternal life in paradise, "Because" they turned to Him in repentance.
Therefore, you have no need for scriptures, Jesus, the Prophets, God's Word, faith, righteousness, as you yourself declares, these things are all irrelevant in your religion, because God does it all for you. But withholds the same for me.
Because You hit the Holy Lottery, and I didn't.
What an astonishing and fascinating religion. And a great one for those like you who hit the Holy lotto.
Not so great for the rest of us, who believe what is actually written..
No, that is just another of your many misrepresentations of both my words and Gods. I am not, nor can you find even one word in any of my posts, where I am proposing that I resurrected myself. You know this, and yet you still promote the falsehood. This shows more about your heart, than mine. Nevertheless, to address what you said, I was Spiritually dead, not physically. What you refuse to accept, and no doubt will refuse to even discuss,
is that God is a Spirit, and therefore I,
who was dead spiritually, not physically,
can hear Him.
The Spirit of God tells all the Spiritually Dead, from Abel and Abraham to Paul and me, "
To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation."
The teaching you are promoting, that God tells those who are spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, "
To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.", but then hardens their heart so they cannot do as His Voice instructs, and then punishes them with everlasting destruction,
"Because" their heart was hardened by no choice of theirs, is an evil and wicked judgment against God.
I will not join you in this astonishing and false religious judgment against God.
Given you have exalted yourself as a Judge against God, accusing Him of all manner of wickedness and injustice, it is no surprise that you would also make such judgments against me.
This is actually an honor for me, and a signal from the Christ "of the Bible", that I am on the right tract.
Nevertheless, there is a point in which I am instructed to shake the dust. I have reached that point. I hope that you might consider what the Scriptures actually teach about these things, even if it is in the privacy of your own home, just you and God. But there is no edification for anyone to continue in this manner of discourse.
So long.
