Will many claim to have read the bible, but they are unwilling to accept the formost truth of the scriptures that one has to receive the Holy Spirit to know God and be known by him. That does not mean a person cannot read the bible as written word law and understand the law. It does not mean that the person cannot mix personal feeling with the law and think it is God or does it mean you cannot understand the stories of faith written in it. It does not mean you can not command more facts then a person that has God's Spirit.
What your unable to do without God Spirit is enter into a new coveant or have God as your Father and come to know His personality. You may have fact about God and glean from the stories of the bible regarding Jehovah, but you are still woefully lacking. The stories in the bible were written by people of faith and were most often anointed they understood more about God personally then did the average Jew that is why later they were worshipped.
Those prophets were just a taste a foregleam of the reality of Christ. Christ body is not many it is one and so all those join to him in his body have a constance knowledge that cannot be understood by someone that does not have God Spirit.
And as you know because your a master of the bible the spirit would write the God words the heart of those in the new coveant as real as it was written on tablets of stone
It is equally clear (or in the scpritures) that "most" of the Jews that understood the bible much better then us could not understand or accept Christ. That is because it required something more something they thought was weak and foolish and look down upon God's Holy Spirit and being born again.
All it produce in most of the Jews was hate for each other and God and most lacked faith or had no faith these are the facts of the book you are quoting from. And if you have read your bible you also no that it was a small group that recieved the gift of God.
There more scriptures dealing with fairness, treatment of followman, family, and honesty that have been proven internationally and over thousands of year that are not contradicting at all. And you know that those are the weighty matters of the law no one can misinterpret good and fair conduct. Those wanting to prove themselve by law or judging other by law trend to twist things up pretty good. But the Law was written for the unrigtheous not those that have the free gift of the Holy Spirit of they live under another law of God's love.
So are you angry because you don't understand God's Love or angry because it not the way you wanted it? Or is it your contention that people command God demand His understanding according to their ideas of the scripture?
What I am hearing I want to take the part out about recieving God's Spirit and go around what Christ stated and understand God my way. And if I can't then everyone else is a liar or stupid for having faith.
In God's presence I have such confidence through Chirst, not because we posses self-sufficiency to form personal judgments, but because our sufficiency is God-given.
And He has qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant, not written law, but of a spiritual Nature; for the later kills, but the Spirit makes alive.
Yet if the minsistry of death, engraved in letters of stone, was inaugurated with such splendor that the sons of Israel were not able to gaze steadily at the fact of Moses, due to his facial brilliance which after all faded away, how much more glorious must be the ministry of the Spirit?
If our Gospel has been obsured, it has been obscured in case of those perishing in whom the god of this world has blinded their unbelieving minds to prevent the illumination of the Gospel to the glorious Christ, who is in the likeness of God, from penetraitng.
For we have not heralded ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus; because God who said, "Out of darkness light shall shine".
He has made it shine in our hearts so as to show forth the knowledge of glory divine in the face of Christ
In fact, their minds were dulled. To this very day, when the Old Testament is being read, that same veil remains, not lifted because only by Christ is is removed.
When He comes, however, the Spirit of Truth will guide you into every truth: for He will not speak on His own account but will say what ever He hears and He will make known to you what is to take place.
But the hour comes - and is now - the genuine worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is looking for such as His worshpers. God is a Spirit and His worshpers must worship in spirit and truth.
If you do not believe in earthly matters I mention to you, how can you believe the heavenly things I might tell you?
Do not feel surprize because I tell you. You need to be born from above
He who comes form above is above every one, while one who originates from the earth is earth-minded and speak from and earthly stand point.
