Only Jesus has the better one-liners
“I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children." ~ Jesus
I rather have the simple and be a little child than be a clueless wise and learned

His wisdom is beyond finding out independent of His Spirit, so I'd say that's indeed pretty simple, sorta His form of a catch 22. Peace

Then why is Christianity looking like a mass of confusion to all of creation? They all read, all claim to have holy spirit, yet are a divided house that will not stand( Mark 3:24-26) It takes more than reading--Even Gods own angels are desiring to peer into Gods truths-1Peter 1:12)--Only through Jesus' appointed teachers can one learn truth. Any can learn the milk, its the meat that is hard to understand.

So very, very little of it true and of lasting worth.

They prattle just to hear themselves speak. They think parroting memorized words = wisdom.

I hear noise.
Exactly and nothing even remotely Spiritually enhancing about any of it.

You judiciously avoid trying to read and understand my Synthesis or any of my other posts and views, Vizio. That is why you do not know where it comes from. The majority of my beliefs about Christ and God come from your favorite reading material - the Bible.

I think that "thoughts" is an overly flattering term for them.

The purpose for following verse is crucial to understanding "the only way " question.

Joh_14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

By that statement Jesus, in essence, has just beheaded the nation of Israel.

What do I mean bu that?

Who was to condemn Jesus to death were it not for making a statement like that to the nation whose God was the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob and not a man making such claims?

Now, the roll is reversed, Jesus is now beheaded by His own people.

Note. Don't miss-interpret the word beheaded. In this case it means cut off.

It had to be that way or else, there would be no salvation to all mankind.

Here's the verse that explains that. Isa_9:14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

Jesus thus.......is the only way.


Blessings, AJ
