If hearing that produces faith is physical hearing, why didn't everyone believe? Didn't they all hear the same message?
In Matthew 13, Jesus is teaching parables and is asked why. He responds by saying He speaks in parables because it is GIVEN unto them to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to others it is not given. Hearing that produces faith is a given hearing that imparts understanding to those who receive it. Those who do not understand have not received hearing.
If hearing that produces faith is physical hearing, why didn't everyone believe?
brother why do you think he gave the commission to preach the gospel ? Because it has to be actually heard before we can know it lol
If I had ten million dollars for you in a bank but I never bortheres telling you about it , you would never know you had ten million dollars in the bank . Look at the commission
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. ( because if they don’t hear it they can’t believe it )
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that
believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
Why is this true ?
“And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14 KJV
Why does the gospel need to be preached throughout the world of no one needs to actually hear it ?????
God has salvstion in the bank for us and he’s sent out a loud resounding clanging shout saying “ hear me and believe and you’ll have eternal life go tell everyone else about this message whoever believes ect…..
ifnhesusbhadnt sent the gospel out with his witnesses tomoresch it nonone here wouod onoe anything about Jesus his death and resurrection or anything we find in the Bible
The one thing God requires is for us to hear what he said in the gospel specifically it’s the only doctrine he ever sent to all people and said “ this will save believers “
If no one
actually preached the gospel as Jesus commanded them to do
no one else could believe the gospel because No one would ever hear the gospel or know the name Jesus
i mean brother Gino to a group of people and don’t say anything and then see how many people believe the gospel that you heard about a long time ago and when you heard about it you believed it was true …..who knows exactly why you believed it but you did believe what you actually heard or read about jesus otherwise you’d never have had the opportunity to believe the message he sent tonus for salvstion
lets try the Nivs more modern language
“
How, then,
can they call on the one they have not believed in?
And
how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach
unless they are sent?
As it is written: “How
beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
But not all those accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “
Lord, who has believed our message?”
Consequently,
faith comes from hearing the message, and
the message is heard through the word about Christ.”
Romans 10:14-17 NIV
Brother we have to actually hear the gospel he sent into the world or we can’t believe the gospel he sent into the world. How can someone call on Jesus name if they never heard about him and salvstion and his sacrifice ect ? No one could
God didn’t send his disciples out to preach the gospel because it wasn’t necassary for anyone to hear it but because that’s the message that saves souls and to believe it we have to hear it
watch what stepehen was preaching here if he hadn’t how could the man have ever believed it and been baptized ? He didn’t even know who the scriptures were about u til Jesus witness came along preaching message about Christ in the gospel
Imagine this brother look how important the man hesring jesus wotness is to the events that follow
“But
when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ,( they had to hear it first )they were baptized, both men and women.
…..Then
the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard
him read the prophet Isaiah ,( chapter 53) and said,
Understandest thou what thou readest?
And he said,
How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And like a lamb dumb before his shearer, So opened he not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: And who shall declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth.
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said,
I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain
water: and the eunuch said, See,
here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
And Philip said,
If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and
they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come
up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and
he went on his way rejoicing.”
Acts 8:12, 29-39 KJV
if the man hadn’t heard the message of Christ in the gospel fulfilling that prophecy he would never have known and believes and been baptized
hearing the gospel is as simple as it sounds some will believe the gospel when they hear it like you did , others will think it’s a silly superstition or some funny wives tale ect
In the end even the dead will hear the gospel be preached to them and they did
“For
for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might
be judged according to men in the flesh, but
live according to God in the spirit.”
1 Peter 4:6 KJV
everyone will hear the message eventually not everyone will believe the message however
brother herring the message in the gospel is paramount and no one could ever believe without hearing it Jesus and his disciples died carrying the message and we still hear it clearly today in Matthew mark Luke and John that message is readily available in books and more importantly the hearts of those who hears and believed Gods everlasting word
“Seeing ye have
purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But
the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
1 Peter 1:22-25 KJV
“And
the gospel must first be published among all nations.”
Mark 13:10 KJV
because without herring the gospel no one can believe the gospel
I think honestly that’s the biggest issue we create our own form of Jesus and salvstion because we don’t hear his version
