How do we testify to this word of the Lord?

[Godsgood]

I've read almost every post he's made over the past year. He has many ideas that are simply wrong and some that are actually heretical. His "method" for obtaining "understanding" involves rejecting all human instruction or correction and waiting for "revelation", which is often inconsistent with standard interpretation of Scripture. He also claims to "know" things about other people that cannot be known in the natural and that contradict what Scripture plainly teaches. I look at all these things and conclude that he is listening to an unclean spirit.

The Lord Jesus is truly very good. Once again, He confirms Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35. What happened in the past is repeated, and His word never passes away.

During the time of the New Testament, the scribes and Pharisees were always watching and following the Lord Jesus as He shared the truth with the Jews. They did this not because they genuinely wanted to find the truth, but simply so they would have something to criticize and attack in what the Lord was saying.
LUKE 11:53-54
53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

And now, here we have another scribe or Pharisee who says that he has been following my sharing of the truth from the Word of God from the very beginning. And his purpose is no different from that of the scribes and Pharisees.

You demonstrate no accountability for your errors.

JOHN 20:29
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
In our discussion of John 20:29, we can compare the two examples presented by the Lord. Although the man who was healed of leprosy recognized the Lord Jesus, and the centurion also recognized the Lord Jesus, the centurion was more blessed because he was the one whom the Lord referred to as believing even before seeing the Lord’s power.

For it is through humility that a person comes to recognize the Lord Jesus. However, if we compare the humility of these two individuals, the centurion demonstrated greater humility.

Therefore, in our time today, we can also see these two kinds of people: those who believe because they have seen, and those who believe even though they have not seen. This shows that what the Lord is pointing to is the humility found in a person’s heart.

We Christians who have been enlightened by the words of God experienced this in our lives.

Let us consider this example: if we see an object that is white, and if everyone we ask says that it is white, then we would naturally believe that it is white. But when God came into our lives, He told us that it was not white but black.

We accepted this with complete humility, and He revealed to us its true color and indeed, it was not white but black.
This showed that even in such a small example, we trusted Him.

Therefore, when He tells us that He is speaking in parables, even though what is written in the Holy Scriptures may seem clear to our understanding, we humbly accept that He is speaking in parables.

Thus, before God, we became like the centurion. We believed even before we had seen. Because of this, the one true God revealed Himself to us, and then He began to reveal the truth through His words.

LUKE 16:10
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

But that doesn't mean that the whole Bible consists of parables If it did, we would have to conclude that Jesus wasn't really born and laid in a manger, didn't literally shed His blood on the cross, and rise again three days later. We'd have to say that the accounts telling us these things are parables meaning something else. And was Jesus telling parables when He gave His explanations of parables to His disciples? Of course not.

Goodness, you are profoundly stubborn!

God SOMETIMES speaks in parables. God DOES NOT ALWAYS speak in parables.

Why don't you understand this? Scripture tells you and you still don't believe it. Your black-and-white example is nothing but hypocrisy dressed up in an exemplary guise. You DON'T humbly accept what God says in His word. Instead you take TWO VERSES of His word and treat them as though they override ALL OTHER SCRIPTURE. That's not humility; it's stupidity.
