Hello Zack,
I sort of got hung up on "ouch" for quite a while. Looks like most others did also.
To a certain extent, of course, in explaining this - - - - what your statements bring to mind, is the thought - - - - "if he has left his first love" .... then - - - And the wet pillow hit the ground, with a soft splat.....
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --
BUT - - - after listening to you, and reading, then re-reading this thread... ....
Another thought comes to mind.
BUT, of COURSE - - Jesus has not yet fulfilled all the messianic prophecies! He has not yet returned, as - - King of Kings!
Yet we - - the Christians - - accept this as a "Given" that he WILL fulfill the rest of the prophecies.
And we would agree, that - - he has not yet done this.
And Paul says - - the Greeks seek after wisdom, but the Jews seek after a sign...
.
Interesting.
.. .. .. ..
My comment would be - - that - - you have not been watching quite the right things, else you would believe on Christ now... but - - if you can live a couple of decades more, you will then believe again, and probably weep.
Nuff said for now.
Later,
Bert
All I can really think to say here is that for the greater majority of my life, my first love was self/ego. I long for the day when I can fully lose that first love and truly seek the will of the Creator.
Blessings,
Zachary
