You are indignant

tjbrown7

The sins of lying, of lust, of fraud, of cruelty, of impiety, of anger, God rebukes and finds fault with, and no one is converted to innocency….. You are indignant that God is angry, as if by an evil life you were deserving any good, as if all things of that kind which happen were not infinitely less and of smaller account than your sins. You who judge others, be for once also a judge of yourself; LOOK INTO THE HIDING-PLACES OF YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE; nay, since now there is not even any shame in your sin, and you are … Continue reading You are indignant

Ever read Isaiah 49:6 and Acts 1:6-8

tjbrown7

Only the Jesus of the Bibles fulfills the mission of Jesus in Isaiah 49:6 and Acts 1:6-8. There is no need for another 1800 years later. History evidences that only Christianity has spread to the utter ends of the earth as predicted by Jesus and Isaiah (and that is no small accomplishment at all). The religion of Mormonism didn’t spread anywhere even according to their own accounts as it was lost for 1800 years and now they pigging bank off of the OG. This is how I know to trust the Jesus of the Bible in opposition to that of … Continue reading Ever read Isaiah 49:6 and Acts 1:6-8
