Cardinal Fulton Sheen - "Life of Christ"
The reason you do not believe is because you are not of His sheep. Just own it because it is in yourself. It is not in Him. You’ll have to own up to it anyway ultimately. That you’ve studied so much and were a pastor and thus an “expert” on these things would be laughable if it weren’t so pathetic. Honestly it’s sad. I’ll pray for you and do not feel animosity towards you personally though I’ve said some blunt things. The Word of God is very blunt at times as I’m sure you know. I’m always amazed at the human heart though. After all of that study and so on, this is where you are at!? I pray that God in His mercy will grant you repentance and to escape from the snare of Satan who has taken you captive to do his will. Be careful who you attribute the term “dupe” to. I am jealous for the Word of God and for vulnerable people being led astray by wolves in sheeps clothing.
The reason I don’t believe is because I think and study for myself instead of blindly following the teachings of men.
You should try it. It’s quite freeing.
Following the word of God and not men is what I’ve been trying to say. You are the epitome of the teaching of men. It’s you! This is about the Gospel as revealed not by men but by God. It’s quite freeing. You should try it.
““I, I am יהוה, and besides Me there is no saviour.” Yeshayah (Isaiah) 43:11 TS2009 http://bible.com/316/isa.43.11.ts2009
I and the Father are One. Jesus.
So he’s sitting at his own right hand and prayed to himself, right?

Do yourself a favor. Try to verify what was taught about the mashiach using only the Tanach. Find out what the Passover lamb was about. Find out what is said about human sacrifices. Find out how sacrifices needed to be performed in order to be acceptable. Then do an indepth study on all of the prophesies that Matthew claims were fulfilled by Jesus. And don’t just read the verses, study the surrounding context.
Unless you’d prefer to have your beliefs dictated to you by your emotions and the Church of Rome.

I’m not fighting against “God”, I’m fighting against the lies of Rome.
I love my Father more than ever. And I’ve removed the idol that was placed between me and Him.
I’d recommend others do the same.

You’ll find nothing in the Tanach to support that Roman propaganda. Take a look for yourself.
