Jesus Christ as Author

Quote[/b] (Dark Virtue @ Oct. 14 2004,8:43)]You don't honestly believe that do you?  Christ walked amongst us for one purpose only?  To die?  Why not just die in the crib then?  Why did Christ teach and preach then if he was nothing more than a chunk of meat to be sacrificed?  

The question we have asked here is valid.  Why did Christ not pen a single, solitary story?  One parable?  One LINE of text?

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lambfor a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. Genesis 22:8


For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matthew 26:28

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9:22

All the sacrifices previous to His death on the Cross were simply a picture of His coming rolled into the New Testament. He is God. The answers thus far are good, they are Scripture. All your "whys" try to put Him in a box. He is God, He did things according to His good pleasure. He has already been crucified! His flood of blood always fresh and flowing; it is a rainbow of promise. It covers the world for those who want to cling to our modern day ark, the Holy Cross of Jesus and all that it signifies. There is no need for you to continue to crucify Him DV. Christ as the Author HAS been answered, you insist on darkening your heart and refusing to hear the truth. Your salvation is not a test of mine, or anyone's faith, for God will not do anything against your freewill. However, I will. For the next year, you are to study the King James Bible. You can have a Strongs Exhaustive Concordance and the oldest Webster's Dictionary that you can get your hands on. Each day, you not only begin your studies, but bathe your studies in prayer. This is to be done in every, single, solitary spare moment. We will miss you!

PS Can you search the Scriptures and find out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin? But then, I don't know that all these questions are important, nor necessary once you have the faith to believe on our Triune God!
 
Now, now, now! Not a word.

It is gloriously beautiful in Texas today. I can go and sit in the duck pond and never become a duck. Or sit in the church from now until His coming, but I can forget having the ability to be a pew, nor a Christian for that matter, if I were not one already.
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. I Samuel 16:7 Nevertheless, it is worth a try DV. Go do it! This is my experiment to see just how hard and stubborn you are! Can in-depth study in the Word penatrate that unbelief, refusal of faith and hardness of heart? I know the answer...oh, yes it will, and can, if you will allow it!

I take a HUGE offense to this. Exactly how am I continuing to crucify Christ? How am I darkening my heart?

You have truly saddened me.

Marcy, I HAVE studied the bible. Read it through many times. WITH a concordance no less. THAT is the reason I am where I am.

Since you obviously have a greater understanding of the Bible than I, please show me scriptural evidence to support the idea of a Triune God.

Note 1John 5:7,8
For there are three who bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth; the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and these three agree as one.

The words that have been italicized do NOT appear in the original manuscripts. Hmm...I wonder where they came from. I would show evidence for this, but I'm not sure which authors you would consider holy enough to trust. So I will let you do the research.

Matthew 28:18-20
Then Yeshua came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you…"

Note that the word NAME is singular, not plural. Also the "names" Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not names, but titles.

Hmm, you know what? Nevermind. Save yourself the time and effort in proving this. You believe it and nothing I or anyone will say will change your mind (yet, you wish ME to change my mind...hypocritical, no?).

Suffice it to say that there are CHRISTIANS that do not believe in the idea of the Trinity. Are they misguided? Undeducated? Deceived?

That's easy..as many as God wants

If you dont belive in the Father, son and spirit you are not a Christian.

No I cant prove it.

And yeah the bible supports it... because Jesus speak of all three and if you do not belive Jesus then you cannot be a Christian.
 
Understood Byblos, but answer the rest of the questions concerning Christians that don't believe in the Trinity: Are they misguided? Uneducated? Deceived?
 
LOL  You are correct in the latter answer:)  

So many through time have tried to explain Him away, DV.  I do not mean to be unfair, nor cruel or hurtful.  Perhaps crucifying Christ is harsh.  Destroying God's Word?  Look at the Book!  The men who penned it, the years it was written, the personalities of those who penned it.  The miracle of it all coming together...the prophesies fulfilled.  It is my strong belief that we have the original manuscript, and just as those who have tried to destroy the Word and Christians throughout history, they would want you to believe otherwise.  We have the Word, in its entirity, exactly as He wanted, with exactly what He wanted us to know.
 
Those are great verses PROVING the Trinity in my heart. The other is: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: Genesis 1:26

Do not be saddened dudeababe! Just only please accept Jesus

Well... If they do not have Jesus' Spirit as their guide then they are
Misguided, as they are not guided by god.
Undeducated?? Is that even a word?
Decieved, Sure. By themselves and anything else telling them anything different then God's word.

But that's the problem Byblos, all these Christians are using the SAME word of God to come to different conclusions.

Why do you think that is?

(Thanks for catching my typo, I'll fix it now)
 
Same word of god?

Not exactly the same... you see their are different version of the bible which can easily be interpreted different right?

Well.. htere is only one true meaning for what those things say. And no theologist or historian could ever be 100% correct on any of those things as they are not eye witnesses...

Therefor God is the only one who can interpret those things to you correctly, and without having the Spirit of God within you to interpret these things you can never know them to be true.

And God's spirit is only present in those who have surrendered their lives to Jesus..

Soo you either belive in the Trinity or have incorrect interpretations.
 
Can you be imbued with the Holy Spirit and make incorrect interpretations?

So are you saying that you are not 100% correct on what is in the Bible, since no historian or theologist can be?
 
You can make incorrect interpretation but only if they are unimportant enough for God to not even bother.

I am 100% correct on what God requires me to be correct on. The rest doesnt matter.

You are so frustrating! It IS that easy, He deliberately made it that way in order for ALL to come! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Paul is one of my favorite apostles. I often wonder how he could have been all the things he was before salvation. I think you are in his bloodline! STOP KICKING AGAINST THOSE PRICKS!!!!!!!! And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Acts 9:5
 
So God allows one to make incorrect interpretations even though they have the Holy Spirit?

Interesting.

EDIT

And what exactly is important or unimportant?
 
So what is important and what isn't?

I don't understand why God would let you misinterpret ANYTHING in His Bible.

If that is the case, how do you know YOU haven't misinterpreted anything?
 
Everything isnt important... but some poeple enjoy knowing everyhting so he puts it there for them.

I know I havnt because God interprets it for me.

BELIEF is what I'm talking about. Belief is what is not easy. I find it very difficult to believe in things that have no evidence.

But thanks for being patient with me

Byblos, you didn't answer the question.

So WHAT is important and WHAT isn't?

Those Christians that don't believe in the Trinity and disagree with you on spiritual things, they believe that God has intepreted the scriptures correctly for them too. You can't BOTH be right, can you?
