Dear Mark,
Spiritually I believe God is mostly interested in the spirit of people and has little or no interest in the flesh. Jesus is the only Prophet to claim He was indeed God in human flesh. That being so then God only came that way to complete a program started long ago through Abraham. Please take a moment to consider what Paul said;
Romans 2
14 Indeed when Gentiles (entire world) who do not have the law (Word of God) do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves even though they do not have the law SINCE THEY SHOW THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW ARE WRITTEN ON THEIR HEARTS, their CONSCIENCES also bearing witness,and their thought now accusing, now even defending them. This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ as my gospel declares.
Thats from Paul saying that when people do not have access to the Word they will be judged by their hearts. Don't people realize if we have compassion and concern for people how much more the One that breathed life into them. He said to Jonah that He had many people He had raised and knew in Ninevah, these were not Jews they were not in the Law or knew God but He knew them and did not desire to cause them to perish. Again with Job, Eliphaz and the so called friends of Job made God out to be a destructive God that despises men, He said they have not spoken of me what is true. Can you imagine Chris wanting to tell people about the Lord so they will be accountable for destruction in his mind? Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Nancy |
