Veracity..You Are Right.
It isn't that people don't understand, they just don't want to *accept* the truth because being deceived by Satan he coninues to do what he did to Eve..deceive the whole world.
What is Satan's main goal? To make us doubt God as he did with Eve twisting what God said and make Him look like a liar. When we see people twisting by clever arguments..they are just like Satan, they don't accept the Word of God and they don't *live* by the word of God..as Jesus said, "Man will not live by bread alone but by every Word of God, Luke 4:4.
Every Word of God we are to live by. Not take the words that we want that pleases us. If we do then we are not walking in His Word but that of Satan's.
For without the Bible, without the inspired instruction from God Himself n His inspired word, all that remains are the billions of human opinions: "This is the way I feel or "This is how it seems to me!"
Do you get the picture?
That is what exactly is going on in this thread. People are doing exactly that..forming their own personal opinions and twisting the truth to their satisfaction. Anyone who thinks that they know better than God or say they don't mind if a woman teaches the gospel to a man, then they are with Satan and not with God. Pure and simple.
No religion or people are essentially valid as long as people are sincere! We hear that type of reasoning all the time. If God didn't exist, if the Holy Bible was not truly inspired, then such reasoning might stand up. But it isn't so.
I will say it again, " Man cannot live by bread alone but by EVERY WORD of God. Not just, one word, or the word that suits your fancy..but by EVERY WORD of God Jesus said, otherwise He will not recognize you because you are not of His Spirit. Because you didn't walk in the path that He came to give us so we have Eternal life.
We were bought with a heavy price..Jesus blood! Therefore, being bought by Jesus we do not belong to ourselves but to God and as a slave had to obey his master so do we have to Obey Our Master, if we don't then we will end up in the Lake of Fire along with Satan and the all those who will go up against Him at Armagedon.
Only the trulely converted people will then have the divine protection of God Himself during the horrifying Great Tribulation that Jesus Christ specifically propehsied that would occur just before His return. Math 24:21-22.
I leave with these words that Jesus said which are very, very important and should be branded in our minds..
Revelation 3:10.."Because YOU have kept MY command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on earth."
Will you be *HOT* for God and be protected, or *COLD* and be tested when the Great Tribulation comes and it will. All those who will be Hot will be saved from persecution and death, all those who are not will be caught in the Great Tribulation and be persecuted and even die, some will even abandon their faith to save their lives but will only lose their lives in the end.
It is time to ACT NOW because as in the days of Noah when the rains came all were caught by surprise and all died. Not one survived! Only 8 people survived and if Noah had not found favor in God's eyes, I would not be here today to write in this thread.
