Nothing is impossible for God. if Jesus is God and He said so, then what is the problem?
Perhaps Jesus had a vastly different appearance after His ressurrection. (no resemblance perhaps )
You can call anything you want anything you choose, āGodā or otherwise, but that does not make it true.
I have shown you why your belief that the Holy Spirit lives in everyone is mistaken:
You still have not said what he/it teaches you, unless itās that he lives in everyone, but we know that is mistaken. Is there more that you are taught in the midst of your situations? You have only repetitively said that it happens, but without content. Teaching involves content.
A problem with a relationship is what sin is. I donāt know if you have or had a good relationship with your parents or not, but if not, you can at least imagine a good relationship. Breaking that good relationship by being disrespectful or disobedient and rebellious is analogous to what sin is with respect to our relationship with God.
I still need some explanation about what that means ā I have no idea.
The Bible tells us (and we know from nature, of course) that the life of a creature is in the blood. When we sin (and we all do and have) and by our rebellion we have destroyed our individual lives with God and we have died to him and become like delinquents on the streets and disowned. (Once again, no, the Holy Spirit does not live in everyone.)
Jesus is how that life is restored, by accepting his sacrifice for us and believing in him, and we become āborn againā to him, adopted into his family. Iām sure that is not an entirely satisfactory answer and I donāt know that there is an adequate one. There is certainly some mystery involved, but in multiple places in the Bible, Old Testament and New, that is what we are told and I have reasons to trust it. When we believe in Jesus and trust him with our lives, then Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to live in us, not that we are immediately perfect and cannot still sin.
Block allow is what Holy Spirit teach me
it seems I keep relearning this too
Thereās times I block and other times I allow
When I block Holy Spirit I feel spiritually hungry. So in the midst of blocking I allow Holy Spirit teach me how to allow Holy Spirit more with in my situations, and Holy Spirit teach me how to allow more and why Iām blocking, and as Iām allowing Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit feeds me and then Iām not spiritually hungry, as Iām being fed.
I understand more about block and allow as I understand more about learning from Holy Spirit why Iām blocking and how to allow more
I hope this helps understand mainly what I learn from Holy Spirit. If this doesnāt help, then I need to improve more how to explain this
The reasons so far why I donāt think about sin is due to I donāt know what sin is?
Example I witness briefly near by family who moved soon afterwards, a girl gets gum in her hair. The problem was according to this family it was sin for females to have their hair cut with scissors. The mother was fed up with something else and it seems by her daughter getting gum in her hair, instead of the mother who had this as a sin canāt use the scissors to cut the hair, she went into rage and torn her daughters hair in front of me, as I was in shock, as this girl screamed. I couldnāt get that out of my mind after wards, what did I just witness? Soon after this family moved and I never seen them again, but this stay with me in my mind and anytime I hear the word sin I think of this girl and the horror she went through.
As this scene stay with me I asked serious question what is sin also I ask seriously what is blood to be drain all because getting gum in hair and if a mother uses scissors., how many sheep needs their blood drain, or only one human needs to drain blood in case this mother uses scissors to cut hair.
I know this sounds ridiculous and easy to dismiss, oh its just a family, as many will explain what really sin is, but I canāt get past this, the girl in terror all so her mom doesnāt sin
iām told blood is a symbol, I ask how does a symbol justify what? who decides what is sin, Hebrews with their 613 laws, or that mother who couldnāt reach those scissors or take the time to find a painless way to get gum out of hair.
Iām told anything is possible with God, then why is God limit to draining blood from sheep and a human being?
before the big bang, couldnāt God wash away all sins before allowing big bang happen, and also wash away all sins needing no blood?
These are serious questions
The reasons why I hadnāt accepted Jesus has a savior, should be what the question be and to explore?
First if I do accept Jesus as my savior from sins, I would chose the universal salvation way due to I think they think everyone is already saved, and if thatās the case then according to them Iām already saved correct., thatās how the universal salvation Christians think am I correct?
The main reason why I donāt accept Jesus as a savior of my sins is cause I believe Iām already accepted by God., so if Iām already accepted by God just as I am, why is it that Jesus needs to save me for and what is sin?
So my understanding is we all live forever, holy Spirit already lives in all of us. @Dale your understanding is none of us lives forever and all of us is rejected by God and no one has Holy Spirit living in them and needs Jesus to save them through accepting Jesus to save them and God will blame anyone who doesnāt accept Jesus
According to this I think where we differ is in the accepting area
I think weāre all already accepted by God and God lives in all of us and waits for us to allow God teach us
You think God doesnāt accept us and you think we need Jesus so God will accept us
This could go back and forth in a cycle spin
however universal salvation Christians would believed Iām already saved so I wonder how universal Christians would feel how I write? That would be interesting?
So @Dale do you have it a sin for females to cut hair?
I feel its ok for females to cut hair
@Dale tell me what is sin actually?
@Dale is love a law, what is unconditional love compare to law love?
It doesnāt, because block/allow has no real content, no āwhatā, not does āIām being fedā. What are you block/allowing, what are you ābeing fedā. (If it is just āfeelingsā, feelings are ephemeral and subject to change ā they not trustworthy and they can be deceptive.)
I think you did not really try to understand my explanation of what sin is earlier and you are throwing in all kinds of stuff that distract from it, maybe not intentionally, but in fact:
(Not accepting Jesus is, among other things, being disrespectful to God.)
Donāt edit it later or we cannot respond well to what you say or change. Add clarifications below.
Thank you for asking about Jesusā sacrifice and making me think about it more.
You did not answer the latter question, but went on as if God is just Santa Claus with no coal available. Justice involves judgment, and penalty if there is guilt, and that probably involves some kind of coercion.
There is also the matter of sinning against a righteous and loving King, and if we think that such a One as he cannot execute fair judgment, we should maybe consider skeptical theism. And if we deserve the death for spitting in his face willfully (or ignorantly) because we do not recognize him a King, then we need to be rescued and saved from that verdict! A previously used analogy was calling a good queen a whore to her face. Immediate arrest (physical coercion) and penalty should be expected!
The short answer is that Jesus bore our punishment in our stead, if we will just but accept that gift at no cost to us except our pride.
