"Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven" The question is of course, why should we believe the Gospel is true, did God really say that? Let us then first define truth, and sanity. It would defy all reason that destructive behaviour and corrupt manners would lead anyone to truth. Personal depravity then leads to blindness, because it is darkness. Righteousness is light, and allows one to see the truth. Righteousness leads to sanity, a pure mind that is able to see the truth, who is God. It is well to understand that ideas and knowledge, such as knowledge of the truth, does not come from nowhere. They come from spirits, and there is one Spirit of Truth. We can only know the truth by yielding to the spirit of truth, which is the spirit of Righteousness. All else are false, and they are many. As righteousness leads us to truth, anything that prevents us from doing what is right and the more so, is from darkness and falsehood. If we live in a world of suffering, which we do, pursuing one's own desires instead of ministering to the afflicted with everything that one has got is to be in the dark, and no truth can come out of it. We have been given the testimony of one man who gave everything he had for the sake of all. And we were told to do nothing less but the same. Jesus died on the cross because we live in a universe where there is justice. We do not live in a dead universe nobody knows the origins of, nor do we live in a universe where God has let things in our own hands. If that were so, everything would be in chaos, evil and destruction would have prevailed. Instead, he has given us great blessings, despite our wickedness, and ungratefulness. And he has set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. This kingdom of righteousness and truth is also the way to everlasting life. Of which Jesus is King, the greatest example of Righteousness and therefore of truth. We also have to see the difference between self-imposed righteousness and God's righteousness. We have to recognize that God is constantly interfering in our lives and that we can know his will. Without this acknowledgement, God will be dead to us, and we will be seeking our own righteousness. This is why the other religions are not true, and their followers seek their own glory. You are not justified by your own works, but by the spirit of God in you, who inspires to right action. Then if we have the spirit of God in us, how can we deny Jesus, who is the truth? For this reason, John simply writes "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."(Having written this I feel a mighty presence in my heart.) |

Well the topic is if you deny "Jesus you make God a liar" which sounds quite blasphemous as it compares God to a man/human. So we would like to ask who gave that power to you that "you could make God a liar" as you've put it? If you would declare that God is the way you've put it would God be affected?

Are you telling him that people can call him a liar or what is the context in this reply ? We ask again, what or who gives you the power to call "God a liar"? |

Which god are you talking about cause I know that their are many gods not just a Christian god.
There are many path's to god not just the way of Jesus and if the dude was fair dinkum he'd know that. Or is Jesus a lair. .

No, there is only one way to God, and that is doing His will through his spirit. Why don't you read the OP.

I say we are all part of god and the truth lay's in accepting that we are all god's yet to be self realized. What about Buddha, why cant he be a path to god?

Forum arguments are nothing more than means to discredit the Creator of the Universe and Yeshua as his appointed Messiah. No sense in listening to the intelligentsia; even demons acknowledge the One.

Don't listen, but I think some of these "forum arguments" occur because some "creators of the universe and their appointments" are so unbelievable. When a poster like you says what you just have, one sees all the troubles in the world right there. |

It's really very simple, there is one source of truth and righteousness and there is one source of iniquity and falsehood. And there is no sitting on the fence. Whether you will face judgement or not is another question, but it should be fairly easy to see which one one has yielded to. Last edited by jesusistruth; 06-02-2011 at 08:47 PM. |
