"I am the way, the truth, and the life," he quoted. But he forgot to mention what follows, "nobody comes to the father except through me."
He believes truth is so important, why would he mock God on live television though he admits in the verse he quotes that he is condemned unless he gives his life to Jesus.
Amos 5:18 https://biblehub.com/amos/5-18.htm
First, Americans didn't want to read the bible. Then, Americans didn't want to live by God's commands, then Americans didn't want God.
Second, Americans didn't read the constitution. Then, Americans didn't want to live by the constitution, then Americans didn't want freedoms.
Show me where it says that. I’ve read the whole bible, and saying “Christianity allows you to beat your wife” is expressed nowhere in the law. Not even to mention, “love your enemy,” as Jesus commands his people to do. What part of following God permits wrath, envy, and cruelty? None.
John 8: 31-37
"To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”
34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word."
When the Jews, who lived in Israel, long after Persia had fallen, and after Julius Caesar had lived, became indignant towards Jesus when he claimed that his truth would set him free, they proclaim they are already free as descendants of Abraham, and Jesus acknowledges that they are IN FACT Abraham's direct descendants, although they are not free from sin.
How can you claim that Germans were Abraham's descendants when God HIMSELF acknowledges that the Jews who lived in Israel prior to the Diaspora were really the same Jews as in the times of Egypt. It is BECAUSE of this that Jesus said that MOSES would testify against them in John 5:45. If they aren't even the "real" Jews, THIS WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE.
The Jews, the real ones, have been sent all over the nations, and have been greatly persecuted by ALL of them. They aren't black, they aren't white, they're Jews, and have been persecuted as such. England is not a Jewish nation, Germany is not a Jewish nation. All these pretenders only appeared once it became evident that God's word to restore his people Israel meant that Israel would become greater than the other nations. Many nations have become envious of this, and have persecuted them all the more. Nevertheless, the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
Knowing that God will come to Rule from Jerusalem, the literal Jerusalem, it is our job to act according to his will, and preach to both Jew and Gentile alike that Jesus is the LORD, that is, the LORD of Zion, the LORD of Abraham, the LORD of Jerusalem, the LORD of ALL the Earth.
Trust me, i've misinterpreted scripture towards my nationalistic tendencies too, but God's word is very dangerous to misinterpret. Doing so causes people to hate the Jews, and not forgive them like God forgives the gentiles. It causes people to undermine the efforts of Jews to live peaceably and, by doing so, war against God. Its hard hearing that your nation won't survive judgement, but if this seems unfair, Israel's heart has been hardened for over 2000 years towards their savior and LORD. God has made his name a light to the Gentiles too, and there will be a time when Israel embraces their LORD, but that time, is not right now.
The British Throne is not David's throne. What evidence is there? Also, how is "The West" "Spiritual Israel"? The Greeks and the Romans were the people who greatly persecuted the Jews, even into the 16th century. The Jews, are those who were given the Law, and they are God's people. Although Gentiles can be saved, to the astonishment of the apostles, their nations are doomed to war with Israel in the valley of Megiddo. Likewise, there may be spiritual Israelis among the nations, but those nations are doomed. So it cannot be said that those gentile nations are now the new Israel, because they Shall go to war with Israel.
Do not forget Daniel's prophecy of the end times. The Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple just as the prophecy of Daniel said that the people of the ruler to come would. There is a great evil among the nations which will bring them to destruction. This hasn't happened yet, so it isn't apparent to some Christians that the "nations" which roar against Israel are those of the East, West, North, and South. God is the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and Jacob, and he is the God of Israel, his people. Gentiles are grafted into Israel, not the other way around.
No.
Isaiah 65: 19-20 "I will rejoice over Jerusalem and be filled with joy for My people. The sound of weeping and the cry of distress will no longer be heard in her. No longer will there be there any infant that perishes in his youth, nor any old man who fails to live out his days in full. For a man will be accounted but a youth should he die at a hundred, even the sinner a hundred year old who suffers this curse."
Secondly, in Luke 1: 32-33, the Angel Gabriel tells Mary, "He will be great. He will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the place where His early father David sat. 33 He will be King over the family of Jacob forever and His nation will have no end.”
So, we cannot be in the millenium, nor could it have happened already, because in the Biblical millenium people's lives are not short, or brutish, and Jesus' eternal reign has already begun.
Is Jesus literally on David's throne? No? This means the millenium hasn't started yet. So don't worry, because it will come to pass, and God's glory shall be given to Christ, because he is God, as said in Isaiah 6:9 "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
Likewise, please don't worry that Christ's kingdom is under threat. We're not living after the millenium, because if we were Christ would already be reigning over Earth on David's throne.
Weird ain't it? Its almost like evil people get their tactics from the same source.
