Yep, when one first comes to read the word to understand the word, and sees their own depravity, in what is expected to be a superman/woman, it annihilates me, you and all flesh nature, it sure did the disciples in Matt 19, where they watched the rich man walk away sad, and then asked Christ how is it possible for anyone to enter Heaven, we see this rich man walk away, sad, who has obeyed the Mosaic Law from birth on. We heard you say cur off body parts that have sinned, better for us to enter Heaven maimed that we go whole to Hades
So how can we go to Heaven, are we following you ignorantly? seeing you bid us to be superhuman, and we can't
What a perplexity to be in, and then see the annihilating of what the perfect law does to us that are not perfect, and can't be. It kills us, and if we thus agree to de dead we might see the next sentence Christ said
But all things are possible with God. Was he talking about him going to the cross and rising from the dead to give us new life in Spirit and truth, that we are looking back to, as they were looking forward to and yet still had trouble seeing this?
Wrong thread again, I think not
