I didn't say he won't enter the Kingdom. He is not in it yet. Only those who are in Messiah have entered. If you disagree with me, then explain why John is not as great as the least in the Kingdom. How can the greatest prophet not be one of the greatest in the Kingdom?
It is bad enough how you denigrate those who don't believe like you, but now you have gone too far. You call truth "a load of poop" and exude all your vile filth upon it. I thought I was dealing with a wayward believer who needed correction, but you are nothing but a filthy blasphemer. We are done.
Aye, even as Joseph was given full authority in Egypt but was still subject to Pharaoh.
"There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil." Job 1:1
So, now you've got Job and John the Baptist you can pray to for your salvation.
I simply posted the verse which supported what @gadar perets said. Many people simply argue for what they believe without considering what the scripture says. If you have a different interpretation for that verse you should provide it rather than being sarcastic. Who does sarcasm edify?
i guess he that is least in the kingdom is greater bc humility, not bc John B is not a saint prolly. Iow God does not require us to make big flashy open displays of sedition in the Jordan and get our heads cut off if that is not our style imo
If it actually were the truth that Jesus isn't the Lord (God), then you might have had a point here. But as what was spoken is something that will put someone out of the kingdom (see John 8:24), it is worse than a load of poop...it is like arsenic that you are trying to put in people's milk!
Job was perfect and upright for all practical purposes, when looked at by the eyes of man. However, further reading into the book of Job will reveal that Job had one major flaw...he knew that he was righteous! This translated into self-righteousness for Job; which ended up being addressed quite adequately by Elihu (who was not among Job's three friends, but witnessed their exchanges and then spoke up after all was said and done between the four of them). Specifically in Job 32-37, Elihu accurately addresses the problem of Job that is sin.
Thank God it is He that must resolve any differences in the end of the matter. Men at times really make me wonder. That, of course, includes me.
You still provided no interpretation of the verse. I support, hopefully, God. He is the only one I can always trust to be right on every point.
But Job was certainly described in that first verse as "perfect". I would say he was perfect with what he had at the moment in the eyes of God. If any of us are similarly perfect, then then hopefully we will do a well as Job when we go through similar [in the eyes of God] trials as we walk our walks.
Did God conduct that research and provide you with the results to use to condemn someone?
Still Helen, no one has explained why @gadar perets is in error in light of the verse I cited above.
@gadar perets whom I've known a long time and have much respect for, does not believe Jesus is God but the Son of God. He respects Jesus as the Messiah and Annointed one sent by God Father, but believe only God Father is to be worshipped.
