Oats, are you a Jew? I didn't know that. :think:
The Bible will never make sense to you until you can figure out what was written to the Jews...
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
And what was written to the rest of us.
Eph. 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
TO THE JEW FIRST. Keep that in mind, and you'll have no reason to be ashamed.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
I am well aware of those verses, but that not not negate what Jesus said, we simply must see to what extent they apply to us.
Jesus is declared the Christ in the gospels, do you reject that he is the Christ, the son of God?
Do you reject that Jesus is the son of God because the gospels say so?
Do you reject that "it is finished" because Jesus said it in the gospels?
So I repeat the same to you.
John 14:12 states
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
I believe on him, therefore Jesus Christ is talking to me.
Why don't you believe on him?
So John 3:16 does not apply to you? It applies to me.
So John 14:6 does not apply to you? It applies to me.
Since John 14:6 is not true for you, then who is your way to the Father? The pope? Buddha? Islam? Who is your way to the Father?
Are you suggesting that everything recorded in the gospels has nothing to do with you? You don't need to know anything in those books? Who then is your lord and savior? who then is the Christ if not Jesus the son of God?
So you reject everything recorded in the gospels that Jesus Christ said as well?
Wow.
Do reject the OT as well?
What is left in your Bible?
