Please know that I did not propound the question to you. Thus, it was not me that you should have/were to respond(ed) to. The question was for YOU... for YOU to consider... with your response to be the One who asked it. Perhaps in private, through prayer. If you didn't, you should have gone to him and asked him if he had indeed directed the question to you... TESTED the "inspired expression." For it you had, your spirit would have bore witness that it WAS he who asked you... and you would have known to direct your response to him.
You did not do that, though... and it is VERY sad... because you don't BELIEVE he even asked you. You LACK... faith. Yet, you claim to have faith. I personally... and spiritually... cannot see how that is.
I heard what I heard. I "spoke" what I heard. To whom he told me to speak it ("Believers"). That you chose to answer means you believe yourself to have been addressed by the One asking. Yet, you directed your response to me.
Your responses run the gamut. Some believe the Bible to be the Word of God. Even though the Bible plainly states who that Word is. Some believe Christ is not the Holy Spirit. Even though the Bible plainly states who that Spirit is. Some believe the Bible contains the [New] Law. Even though the Bible plainly states that such Law would NOT be written in ink... but on hearts. No wonder the Christ is "divided"... and non-believers scofff at us.
I must leave you, then, to your beliefs. You are not my sheep... and I am only a servant. You would have had your ears opened, had you only asked for it... and listened. Instead, you chose to trust in your OWN understanding. But not one of you asked. Not one. I don't know what to say. Truly.
I bid you peace... and perhaps just a little more humility... a little more consideration that perhaps you HAVE been misled... in that you still don't believe that God's Word... CHRIST... IS ALIVE... TRULY... that he LIVES... and SPEAKS... but that an inanimate object... a mere book... speaks FOR him. In light of the following, I just don't understand how you can believe that is TRUE... still:
“But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith [JHVH], I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.” Jeremiah 31:33
“And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them].” Ezekiel 36:27
And…
“THIS [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them…” Hebrews 10:16
And…
“For THIS [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.” Hebrews 8:10, 11
So, that:
“A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.” Romans 2:28, 29
Sadly, SA, who awaits responses to your individual responses from the One to whom they should have been directed, if he so chooses to respond...
