Herein, we fall into the situation during the time of Jesus. Scripture told of his coming yet they did not believe. We have the words of Jesus Christ himself in Revelation with a description of events yet to come...

And yet you christ! make no declaration or claim to having an attachment to those scriptures. How is it that a common person would believe you? Surely Jesus referenced scripture, and fulfilled it. He did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.
By whose authority do you speak?
Peace

John Chapter 20-24
"20"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

"You", "me" and "Jesus" are of the "flesh".
Flesh is not of the Spirit.
Flesh is not the truth...is not our truth.
The Spirit is our truth.
We are Spirit, not flesh.
Believe this and be saved.
You think the "good" is "the truth" and the "evil" is the lie.
But I tell you, the concept of both "good and evil" is one lie.
The lie comes from one tree...the tree of "good and evil".
That entire tree is a lie.
The tree of Life is the truth.
You are a friend of the "good" of the world.
So you are a friend of the world.
Your friendship makes you a foe of the truth.

Now you are explaining yourself clearly, which is what I asked for in the first place.
I agree with much you have said. Almost ALL of it can be found in Scripture.
You weren't speaking like this earlier.
John 16:29-30
29Then Jesus' disciples said, "Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. 30Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God."

I wasn't trying to be antagonistic, I was really trying to understand where you were coming from. I think you've cleared it up a great deal.
Much of our beliefs align, now that I understand what you're saying.
I'm not closed minded, these books are?

Also, what do you have against Paul? I could site verse after verse from him that aligns with a lot of what you're saying.
God Bless

Ok you lost me again, please elaborate on this.

I, too, identify with Christ.
Good luck with trying to tell these people - I have been trying to as well.

So let me ask you, by what authority did John the baptist speak?
Where is John "the baptist" in the old testament?
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. — Malachi 3:1
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse- Malachi 4:5-6
“Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force. 13 “For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14 “And if you are willing to accept it,John himself is Elijah who was to come. 15 “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

John the Baptists birth can be interpreted as being foretold in both the Old and New Testament.
Jesus makes reference to the Elijah prophecy....
“Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force. 13 “For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14 “And if you are willing to accept it,John himself is Elijah who was to come. 15 “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Dave shadows the downtown streets of the city i currently dwell in.
Don't try to tell Dave he is not Isaiah, Elijah, or John the Baptise.
Most likely he is.
This scribe has an agenda.

Take heed of the words you speak, for what teacher, in his instruction does not become the student?
I have enjoyed reading some of your words. Sincerely taught, but blindly informed. I wipe my feet of this particular thread and wish you well in your travels.
Its funny you know..I was just talking to Dave today about you.
Coincidence?

Indeed, less than 20% of what NT scribes say is said by Jesus, is actually said by Jesus.

The question yet remains, by what authority did John the Baptist teach?
John 5:47
"But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
Originally posted by Christ! So how can so many ignorant words come from Jesus?
