Denying it doesn't change the Truth of it. Authority was forced on all, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave. We all hold it, and we are all subject to it… but ultimate authority is with the people. Some however worship authority and claim take authority not given.
>Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God
God lives in the people… it's just that many deny Him COME in the flesh.
Yes it is… unless you don't have eyes to see and ears to hear.
You yourself said all authority in heaven and earth was given to Jesus right?
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ hascomein the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, forhe who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error."
Why do you deny Him COME in the flesh?
The Way, and the Truth, and the Life.
Life is Truth is the Way.
"Many shall come in my name saying I am Christ"
And many call Him Christ.
I never said "I".
LIFE.
Anon, there's a lot you don't see.
The Way, and the Truth, and the Life.
Life IS Truth IS the Way.
Life ITSELF. Not your life, not my life…. LIFE.
Don't put another God first. Commandment #1.
People are tricked into violating what they don't understand.
Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
Is there LIFE in "the trickster"?
You remind me of Peter. "No Lord, this must never happen to you!"
Who did Jesus say committed the greater sin?
Anon… ever liar has life in them.
Life ITSELF.
Do not deny Him come in the flesh.
Who did Jesus say committed the greater sin?
Anon… there's a difference between life and life with memory.
Jesus told us… the one who handed Him over committed the greater sin. No one took His life… HE GAVE IT.
None were found worthy… they thought they would die if God came near.
The law establishes guilt. Until it is all accomplished, not the smallest mark disappears from the law… but as He gave up His Spirit on the cross He said… it is done. He paid the price.
Don't deny Him anon. The Way, and the Truth, and the Life. Life is Truth is the Way.
You have completely missed the point of what He did.
You should try actually reading what I said instead of trying to apply that "if" to me.
Not at all, you just showed your inability to comprehend what I said.
I would never take one. I say shine a light on EVERYTHING.
Nothing is hidden that will not be made known.
I would never want to. The US government violates the constitution daily.
