If you actually think that third party arguments are going to convince you, you've completely misunderstood the gospel of Jesus.It's a simple matter of whether I'm convinced that there is anything to know. So far I am not.
We who follow Jesus don't depend on these.
We depend on the power of God to make himself known to us.
Exactly as described in 1 Corinthians 2.
I give you the truth, as stated in YHVH's Word. As it's written that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing and the power of God to salvation to all who believe in Jesus, I'd say that you have chosen to be in the crowd of people who are perishing.Just as you give me nothing with which to believe.
The question is...
Do you actually want to perish?
Or would you prefer to experience the salvation of God, as it is in truth, and righteousness?
this just tells me that you're afraid to learn the truth.Obviously you do otherwise you wouldn't have sought confirmation that YHVH was real.
I never would have attended college if I didn't want to learn a new career. Had it not been for my cancer, and the subsequent damage caused by the surgery, I would have remained in my previous career as a sheet metal worker, and be retired by now.
Considering that, I'm thinking that you simply don't understand the nature of curiosity and desire to be more than I am.
Never said it did.Your claiming that Jesus (or at least what is claimed of him) is the truth doesn't make it so.
Jesus said it, and after seeing the change in others, i decided to find out for myself.
i didn't live in fear of learning the truth.
granted, in my era, truth mattered more than being right in one's own estimation.
we'd previously tried right in one's own estimation and it got a lot of people killed by their own stupidity.
Then do what Jesus says.I am interested in knowing the truth.
don't argue with strangers on the internet. Engage Jesus on his terms.
Because according to YHVH's Word, you got man-made religion, and missed Jesus altogether.
Otherwise, you'd have previously met him, and we'd be having a completely different conversation.
Sounds like you're not reading.I've seen nothing related to Biblical claims that would indicate what you believe to be that.
