Markus,
good mornin....
If you go back and look at the things Darrin says they are all "within" himself. If he chooses to believe that, as I said that is his choice, but to take my posts and say MY inner this and that, is not speaking for me.
My belief is a real reliance on the sacrifice the Lamb of God made for me. Not anything I have done, so there is a VERY real difference in what we believe. Many people refuse that, cause of pride. They would rather say "ego" has to be dealt with within, when actually Jesus PAID IT ALL. I can say "Yes Judge I am guilty.... but look, I have One Whom has already paid the debt...so now I am free." That is too much for some folks to want to believe, They wanna save themselves and it can't be done.
The scripture says "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (Jesus speaking)
He did not say... Dan is the way and the truth and the life. No one cannot come to Dan except through Dan.
Isaiah: 53:
1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
11 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied ; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Who is the writer talking about? (Now Darrin, I know you are temped to take this and make it yourself, but resist ok? )
It is Jesus the Lamb of God.....see Him, not me. He did it...not me....He is the King.... not me.
Me?.... I am adopted....heh heh .... Praise God!!!!!!!!!
