What might the Lord Jesus be referring to in His Promises?

[2Christ]

The truth is that to love God (The Gospel of Mark 12:30), love for God cannot come from man himself. For man’s way of loving God is contrary to God’s way.
ISAIAH 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The Apostle Paul, who loved the Lord God, testified to this. That is why the very thing he did not want to do (but which was the will of the Lord God) was what he ended up doing.
ROMANS 7:15
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

To love the Lord God (The Gospel of Mark 12:30), God Himself will reveal to His chosen ones how they are to love Him. Therefore, love for God still comes from God.

after reading a few posts I understand better the nature of a problem you have;

God does not force anyone to love him, he calls people to him to listen up and make their own choices, our love for God is not from him directly it has to be from man! what would be the purpose otherwise? its all about choice! God is the source of everything good, including the grace that makes love for Him possible, but the actual act of loving God is genuinely performed by the person.

God commands prople to love him:
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Deuteronomy 6:5
A command implies that people are expected to respond. People are told to choose:""Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve..."Joshua 24:15

This presents service and devotion to God as a genuine choice.

you asked me;

Can we focus first on your previous post to make sure I understood it correctly before we discuss other verses?​

​

From what I understand from your post, you're saying that you can communicate with the Lord Jesus the same way He communicates with His chosen people. Am I correct?​

​

Is my understanding correct?​

we can all of us communicate to God the father in Jesus name we now have full access ( the veil was rent in 2 that i wrote about) but to do so you must first believe in him, and Love him. it is the perquisite, you must believe and Love Him, from that point on, you will be heard and will receive. if you wait for GOD to place LOVE in your heart for him, you ask in vain . It must come from your own heart and will. Love for God implies also that we do HIS will!

When I asked the Lord Jesus, He Himself answered …

Yes, according to our apparent understanding, He healed many different kinds of diseases. But did He do so literally? Perhaps it is not for us to decide, for the Lord does not want us to depend on our own understanding when interpreting God's words.


If healing physical illnesses of the body is what is in accordance with the truth…

If you question God’s Word about the literal, physical healings that Jesus performed, you have wandered far from reality.

If the “Jesus” you talk to is contradicting the scriptures, you are in contact with something diabolical.

Who are the neighbors referred to in Mark 12:31 who are to be loved as oneself?
It is already a week when I posted this question.

However, no one is able to provide a clear answer to this question. This serves as proof that human understanding alone is insufficient, even if one reads the entire Holy Book, memorizes it, or studies it for 5 to 10 years.

It now appears that Mark 12:29–31 can only be fulfilled through the grace that comes from the Lord God.

For if Mark 12:29 is not fulfilled, then Mark 12:30 will also not be fulfilled.
And if Mark 12:30 is not fulfilled, then Mark 12:31 will also not be fulfilled.
The Lord Jesus said that the commandments in Mark 12:29–31 are the greatest of all the commandments.

To fully understand what God is referring to, He provided a basis. "I have spoken of earthly things so that you may understand heavenly things."
JOHN 3:12
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

In earthly terms, we can compare Mark 12:29–31 to studying in school.
Mark 12:29 is like Primary Education.
Mark 12:30 is like Secondary Education.
Mark 12:31 is like College Education.
You cannot proceed to Secondary school without passing Primary. Likewise, you cannot proceed to College without passing Secondary.
But once the college degree is completed, one can be considered a professional; and in a spiritual sense, one may be able to be with the Lord God in eternal life.

However, the Lord Jesus said that if even one of the commandments is not fulfilled, it is as if all the commandments have been broken
JAMES 2:10
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Because the Lord God has declared that His command in Matthew 7:7–8 can only be fulfilled through God's revelation of the truth in His words, relying solely on God is therefore the only key to fulfilling His commands.
MATTHEW 7:7-8
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE.
Ask for God's mercy so that you may come to know the one true God.
Because it is God alone who can introduce himself to a person and no one else.
HOSEA 6:6
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND:
The Lord God said that our thoughts are not the same as His thoughts, and our ways are not the same as His ways (Isaiah 55:8).
Only the Lord God can reveal His thoughts and His ways.
As you come to know the one true God, seek His face and His heart, that you may learn to love Him.
PSALMS 27:8
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

KOCK AND THE DOOR SHALL BE OPENED..
The Lord Jesus is the door through which we enter (John 10:9).
The Lord Jesus is also the Truth (John 14:6).
Therefore, approaching and knocking at the door of the Lord Jesus requires humility, enabling a person to open their heart to the truth.
2 CHRONICLE 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

The Lord God affirms that a person's own understanding is insufficient to interpret the words of God, because the truth contained in His words can only come from God Himself.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

It is very pleasing to the feelings to think that all people are speaking with God. However, this does not accord with the truth, because the heart is the most deceitful of all things, and no one knows it.
JEREMIAH 17:9
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

However, it is not enough simply to speak with God.
During the time of the Lord Jesus, the Jews, including the Scribes and Pharisees, were able to speak with Him.
Yet it was to His disciples, whose recognition of the Lord Jesus came through a revelation from God (Matthew 16:15–17), that the truth contained in God's words was uniquely revealed.
And this truth never passes away (Matthew 24:35).
MARK 4:34
34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

MATTHEW 13:10-11
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Furthermore, the basis of salvation is having the truth, not simply having conversations with God.

 

[Godsgood]

Do people actually talk like this in your country,?
*We can identify our fellow human being.* . . . . . 1950;space movie talk

Man is best if need say
Man be kind
please don't tellme,
our fella human Is in the Bible you read prob artificial intell

I’m not sure what you’re trying to imply. But you are not an AI, right?

 

[Godsgood]

Therefore you know what Jesus wrote on the ground. Am I correct?

Can you name those assembled accusers as you said Jesus wrote on the ground?

Jesus wrote the names of the assembled accusers who had committed adultery with the woman, starting with the oldest men, which is why they all left, starting with the oldest. They left because the law said both the man and the woman caught in adultery should die by stoning.
Perhaps you missed my question.
Let me post it again.

It might serve as proof for you, but not for any rational person. The absence of an answer could be for any of several reasons, not the least of which is that you seem to find it difficult to disagree with anyone without also implying they are inferior to you. People see your behaviour and learn not to bother with you.

I don't have conversations with God but it does not prevent me to speaking to Him ( prayer) like Christ did daily as should we. Under the right circumstances and according to God's will he replies or not in the way he chooses, Jesus explain what to do to be heard. Also I don't always ask for something, sometime its just to thank him. I rarely ask for me. because He knows better than I what I need and He does provide.

I wonder if he thinks we mean a human person. That would obviously be wrong and unbiblically. But the Holy Spirit is a Person, in the sense that He is not just a thing.

People see your behaviour and learn not to bother with you.

Those chosen by God are concerned only with their own spiritual journey. They do not speak for others, for the Lord God's instruction to them is to work out their own salvation. Consequently, they speak only for themselves and not on behalf of anyone else.
This serves as evidence that you are not of God, because your beliefs are contrary to the will of God.
PHILLIPIANS 2:12
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Perhaps if you had lived in the time of the New Testament and had been among the crowds fed by the Lord Jesus, you would have reacted the same way. Even though He had fed them, when He spoke the truth and they could not understand it, they all abandoned Him.
JOHN 6:54, 60 & 66
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Had you been there, you might have given the same explanation to the Lord Jesus for why you left Him.

"Have you not noticed? Whenever you speak, the Lord continually reveals what is in you. He does this not because He hates you, but because He desires to awaken you to the truth.

The truth is that you also do not know who the neighbor is that you are supposed to love as you love yourself. Because you do not want it to be revealed that you do not know this, you divert the conversation.

This is a form of pride in the sight of God.

Why can't you answer who the neighbors are?
Where is your attitude of considering yourself better than everyone else now?"

I am not entirely certain I understand your question.
However, if you are asking whether the term used in Scripture refers to 'fellow humanity,' my answer is no.
Mark 12:31 does not say 'fellow humanity'; it says 'neighbor.'
Yet many religious teachers preach that we should love our fellow human beings (There is nothing to love our fellow humanity).
But what we are searching is the truth.
And the truth is to love the neighbor as thyself and not humanity.
This indicates that even religious leaders may not understand who the 'neighbor' is that we are commanded to love, for 'fellow humanity' is not the same as 'neighbor.

The Lord Jesus said in John 3:12, ‘I have spoken to you of earthly things, and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?’ If you have a friend sitting behind you and you talk to them but they do not respond, it means only you are speaking. Will you be able to understand each other? In the same way, prayer that is based on God’s command but carried out according to man’s own understanding is like only you speaking while your friend remains silent.

True prayer is when you ask and God answers (not in a literal audible way), or when God asks and you respond. That is true prayer. It is like a real conversation.

The chosen of the Lord God speak in parables because they receive Him (Psalm 78:2; Ezekiel 20:49). In the same way, the Lord Jesus also spoke in parables (Mark 4:34). Thus, they continually speak with the Lord to proclaim the truth through His words.

It is important to communicate with the Lord in humility so that He may reveal the truth, for salvation is based on the truth that comes from God. How can one attain salvation if the truth is not given, because one no longer speaks to Him with humility?

are you an expert on prayer you who is not answered? why do you teach others, teach yourself first. Jesus said exactly what to do jusr read about it in your bible.

what is it about parables, I know what they are and why Jesus spoke so. Are you trying to say I cannot understand them? parables seem to be a constant theme in many of your posts.
