It will not happen that I will believe you or learn from you, who does not know God.
First, I don’t want to fall into the pit like you (Matthew 15:4). Second, I don’t want God to curse me because of you.
JEREMIAH 17:5
5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
Those who believe you are pitiful, for this is what will happen to them, just like those who believed the Scribes and Pharisees, according to the Lord Jesus.
MATTHEW 23:15
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
One day you might begin to learn. One day you might understand how stubborn and foolish you are.
But at this point, I doubt it. You are entrenched in your errors.
If you interpret the test in 1 John 4:2 on your own, all groups in Christianity would pass, because they all believe that the Lord Jesus came in the flesh. However, the fact that these Christian groups do not agree with one another and that they all have different understandings of the Lord Jesus who came in the flesh is already sufficient evidence that what people clearly understand is not the meaning of God, but rather the question of who Jesus truly is, the one who came in the flesh?
And if you also interpret 1 John 4:3 on your own, it might seem that Satan does not believe that Jesus came in the flesh. However, in Matthew 4:1–10, it is clear that Satan does recognize that the Lord Jesus came in the flesh after all, he was tempting Him. That is also evidence that what people clearly understand is not what God is referring to. What God is referring to is that Satan does not truly know Jesus, the One who came in the flesh.
Therefore, 1 John 4:2–3 was given by God to His chosen people as a test to discern whether people are from God or not.
When the true Jesus who came in the flesh is known, then God the Father will also be known.
It is a promised of the Lord Jesus.
JOHN 8:19
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
But I can tell you who Jesus, who came in the flesh, is: He is the Jesus who was known by the Apostles and Disciples.
Even in the way you curse, it is already evident that you are not from God.
You are here not to share the truth, but to mock what is being posted.
Do not wait for the time when I will believe you.
It will never happen that I will believe a person who does not know God and who is therefore afraid of himself.
At last I think I understand what you mean when you ask: "Who is God the Father?" He is the One revealed by the Lord Jesus Christ, asa John 8:19 says. Thank you.
Incidentally, I agree that Satan recognised that the Lord Jesus came in thew flesh, or he wouldn't have tempted Him to cause stones to become bread.
You still throw accusations and still have absolutely nothing in the way of evidence. You lack integrity.
I have had far more than enough of your ignorant jackassery, insults, self-righteousness, and utter pretense that you understand Scripture. I leave you to your chosen stupidity.
No, but I can look them up in concordances and commentaries. Indeed I have done so before now.
This is what the Lord Jesus replied to the Jews who were seeking evidence.
MATTHEW 12:39
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For since they do not know the true Jesus who came in the flesh, they will also not be able to understand God’s true message to prophet Jonah.
As long as you do not know the true Jesus who came in the flesh, you will never see any evidence.
Would a follower of the Lord Jesus say this?
One day you might begin to learn. One day you might understand how stubborn and foolish you are.
If this is acceptable to you, it is not to me, because this is the instruction of the Lord Jesus to His chosen ones.
If you are not listened to, just leave them alone.
MATTHEW 10:14
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
This command of the Lord Jesus was fulfilled and demonstrated when He fed the multitude (5,000 men, not including women and children). I would just like to emphasize that the Lord fed them and everyone was satisfied. However, when they did not believe what He said, they all left. And the Lord did not say any harsh words against them
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.
Those who do not know God and refuse to believe in the Lord Jesus speak evil against Him.
JOHN 10:20
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
In the word of God, He reveals who belongs to God and who does not.
Go ahead and do it, if you can find there who gave God the names Yahweh and Jehovah
On one hand, I understand you, which is why you ask the question. However, when it comes to the word of God, God does not want us to rely on our emotions, because emotions are deceptive. They can mislead a person into rejecting the truth, and people are often not aware of this.
JEREMIAH 17:9
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
The Lord truly affirms that His words will never pass away (Matthew 24:35). It feels like I am seeing the Pharisees now. Even though the Lord Jesus said that they do not know God, they still insist to Him that they know God.
JOHN 8:54-55
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
So the Lord said to them, ‘Your sin remains.
JOHN 9:39-41
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
I like to get answers from God's Word.
Isaiah 8: 20 "to the Law and to the testimony: if they speak not according this word it is because there is no light in them."
The word "law" is Torah, #8451.
"Testimony" is used in Exodus 31; 18, "Two tables of "Testimony", tables of stone written with the finger of GOD
therefore: if anyone does not speak in accord with God's Torah and God's 10 Commandments -- there is no light/truth in them.
I am certain some one will say God's Prophet, Isaiah was pushed aside by the New T what Isaiah wrote if contrary to the NT is no longer truth.
what else is very interesting -- Jesus Christ, God, it was HIS finger that wrote the 10 Commandment on the two tables of stone and still the Many willing to Call Him Lord want the Commandments to vanish especially #4
Why are there two tables?? there must be "testimony" from two witnesses before a person can be put to death.
the two tables testify as to our sin of not obeying Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 8:7-13
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
For the readers of the thread.
Let me repost what the Lord Jesus Christ said.
MATTHEW 5:22
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
If the Scribes and Pharisees, who did not know God, built a literal temple.
The Lord Jesus did not have a literal temple built. Likewise, the Apostles and the Lord’s disciples did not build one.
This is what the Lord Jesus revealed to Paul.
ACTS 17:24
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Could this be one of the reasons why leaders ask people for money, even though it may not actually be necessary to fulfill God’s will?
