The crowd responded, “We understood from Scripture that the Messiah would live forever. How can you say the Son of Man will die? Just who is this Son of Man, anyway?”
-John 12:34
People understand scripture wrong all the time. I understand scripture wrong all the time!
If the crowd who followed You couldn't get it how can I?
Yet you never seemed too worried about it. What's important? perfect theology or a broken heart in need of a savior?
Is there such thing as perfect theology? Who is like the Lord? Who can know all of You? I can't even understand the trinity let alone free will and predestination.
I don't have to get scripture 100%. I just have to keep seeking and knocking.
How can a creation comprehend its creator?
Why weren't You more worried about getting people converted getting people "saved" as we put it today?
Do we understand the scripture?
"I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
-Jesus
How? What does it look like to make disciples of all the nations?
Do we hand out bibles? Do we get them to say a certain prayer? Do we simply give them the knowledge of Your existence?
Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
-Jesus
What does that mean? Should I not eat ham? What is the purpose of the law? Has it been achieved? Is there no more law? Which laws do I keep? Is homosexuality a sin?
Jesus I put my hope in Your faithfulness. I trust that you will always be with me, even to the end of the age.
