Re: Should we not....
God has always spoke his word through men. Whether it be preachers, prophets, disciples, evangelists. His word never changes, he is the same as yesterday, today and tomorrow. God's word will reach all around the world, for he does not want anyone to die lost in their sins. But as with the story in the old testament with the poor man Lazarus and the rich man. There came a day when both passed away from earth and upon death the poor man was in the bosom of Abraham and the rich man in Hades(HELL). The rich man begged for a drop of water, then he called unto Abraham to please goto his house and warn his family(brothers) of this terrible place so they would not die lost and come there. Abraham told him they have the scriptures to read and the prophets to hear, if they will not believe either one of those then how are they going to believe now?
You see people are led astray because they lean unto their own understanding about everything in life. Why is it so hard to call upon God and ask him to show a man what is right and wrong? God doesn't want any man decieved. No man will stand before God and say they didn't know the truth, cause God says pray unto him and he will open our blinded eyes and deaf ears. God will guide you where you will hear his word and send you where he wants you to be. His word will not just be a bunch of words in a book to read. God will open your heart and you will read his word like never before, this time with spiritual eyes and you will have a better understanding of it. God will teach you and show you what is right. God wants his children to make up a body, his body. God wants his children to gather together because this edifies the church. If there is one who is lost and they are seeking after the real truth no matter what it is, then I would say unto you to please pray unto God, he will hear you.
I was raised in church and knew many bible stories, but until I was in my 20's and God spoke to my heart did I really open my eyes to his word and his ways. Many things I never really was taught as a kid did I understand then. Mostly was the Power of God (The Holy Spirit). I was taught about God and Jesus but not about the holy spirit. I found it interesting how in the days of Jesus' time, many did not believe in the savior but yet they believed in miracles. Today many believe in Jesus as a savior but they don't believe in his power (The Holy Spirit). The Holy Spirit is what teaches man the heart of God.
