Christian/Muslim ThreadsIf the devil can be a snake, cant God be a man? :: The prophecies from the Old Testament tells us who Jesus isThe prophecies from the Old Testament tells us who Jesus is Genesis 22:7-8 American Standard Version I like this translation of the verses best. This is the near sacrifice of Issac by Abraham. Jesus is called the Lamb of God. John the Baptist said "Behold the Lamb of God that takest away the sin of the world." Jesus told them, John856-59. God told Moses that His name was "I am that I am." When Jesus told them that he was before Abraham and then said "I AM" the Jews knew He was stating that He was God. If we look again at the first quote, God provided Himself the sacrifice or as the sacrifice. He laid down His life and took it up again. It is a mystery but there are many things that are a mystery and we accept them. You don't need and engineering degree to use electricity. You just flip the switch. You don't have to understand all, that is what faith is for. And you don't need heaping piles of faith either, just as much as the size of a mustard seed. When a Christian prays in Jesus name, things happen. There is power in the name and I know. I was diagnosed with Arthritis in my 20's and now am in my 50's. I am pain-free. Additionally, I have a bone that was crushed in my back, and I was told I would need surgery. I am pain-free because of Jesus. I know many people with similar testimonies. God is good and Jesus is His awesome Son. The time you spend debating would be better spent praying and finding out how true it is. If you even ask God sincerely if Jesus is all that He said He is, because I didn't believe it either, He will do it. These things are not perceived by the mind, Jesus promised to send the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who would lead us into all Truth. And that is exactly what happens. The Spirit bears witness that Jesus is the Son of God. One of my children was diagnosed with Autism. Everybody prayed for him. But God moved the night that the prayer partner at the 700 Club prayed with me for my son. That was many years ago now. Then he was four years old. He couldn't even say one sentence that you could understand. Within a month we went from being 90% uninteligible to 99% inteligible. He now is in the Navy. He is very talented on the guitar. God can open what no man can shut and likewise shut what no man can open. You may all keep on debating, but I pray all the time, and I cannot count the number of answers to my prayers. Before I believed in Jesus, I did pray, but nothing can I remember was answered. Jesus spilled His precious blood and I know that He did that for even me, and I needed it. And I still do. I will never be perfect, but He is always perfect. God is good all the time. Water can be solid as ice, liquid at room temperature, but it can also be vapor as in a cloud or steam. Always is it H2O, but it is in a different form. An egg has a shell, a yolk and a white and yet it is an egg, but we can talk about the different parts of it. Not only does He answer prayers He gives insight by the Holy Spirit what to pray for. One evening when my husband was working nights, one of my girl friends came over and we began to pray for my husband as God had laid it upon my friend's heart. We prayed for almost an hour. Then my husband came home, totally astounded because a car had tried to hit him head on, he had to veer off the road into a telephone pole. He closed his eyes and cried out "Dear Jesus save me." He cannot explain what he saw next. He was completely unhurt. The car was not dented, there was no crash, the tire marks went up to the pole, disappeared and reappeared on the other side of the pole. A person with an experience is not prey to one with an argument. |
