"People who say the Bible is hard to understand are mostly people who never read it. They draw these ridiculous conclusions out of ignorance.... to make any kind of statement about the Bible without until you've read it all and exhausted the effort to find out if it's true is really folly."

[xrookie]

Amen. I’m banking on God’s objective truth and standard of morality.

Proverbs 14:6 "A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding."

[TheBibleStory]

God is the creator of truth. We don’t get to decide what’s true, He does!

[brucehaggerty]

Truth is and has to be objective. I’m typing this message and it’s true for the whole world that I typed this message. You’re reading the evidence. Truth is wider and bigger than us.

All the way my Savior leads me
Who have I to ask beside
How could I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my guide
All the way my Savior leads me
Cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me grace for every trial
Feeds me with the living Bread

You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me
All the way my Savior leads me
O, the fullness of His love
O, the sureness of His promise
In the triumph of His blood
And when my spirit clothed immortal
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way
Jesus led me all the way
All the way my Savior leads me

Sadly, the world is starting to make physical realities subjective (like Math somehow being racist). But that's what's expected when they object to the most obvious truth of God Himself being the creator.

[mushroombird]

Hmm, I don’t see anything about the sun dragging the earth in Psalm 19. I clearly see the word firmament though.

BbE-2024-08-26 truth
a truth is a single bit having a fixed value proven to be so for all time
reality is composed of a multitude of truths but some are undecidable
the undecidable at some point in a future time can turn fixed or never
it is the nature of reality to escape our grasp to live with the unknown.

When Jesus defines himself as "The Truth", it is a subjective statement from his mind, but it becomes objective from the believer's point of view. Although the believer does not completely think God's truth is always objective This is the reason why many believers pray and offer confessions to God, with the hope of changing God's mind about their current situation.

By saying God is objective, it makes God an automaton. That will be ridiculous. Our theologians and apologies have not really thought this through. They clearly have work to do.

As it were, the truth within the mind of God is subjective by definition. The question is, is the truth within the mind of God referencing some objective truth that is not dependent on a mind or is it a statement representing the mind of God/Jesus at that time 2, 000 years ago, in which case, it will be subjective?

If Truth is actually objective, then it CANNOT be dependent on a mind, and therefore not from God's mind. It can still come from God, but from God's nature that is not part of his mind. Then God is more likely to have at least two parts, namely the God subjective mind and the God objective nature which is non mind. Unfortunately, the problem is God's subjective mind will be merely transmitting the interpretation of his objective nature.

Thanks for this video, it gives me further insight for my book on a "possible God", that is clearly not the biblical God on offer so far. We really need good theologians and philosophers to help us resolve this, before we continue to harm more people based on the current understanding of religious texts.

This is when we need God's subjective mind to intervene and stop believes from causing more harm to people because they believe they have objective morall pronouncements from their religious texts telling them to harm and kill people We can definitely use God's help against zealotry of believers.

I appeal to God's changeable mind, to reach to hearts of believing zealots and stop them from doing more harm and damage to sentient beings and the environment.

[pauliberg]

short and clear-- PASTOR JOHN IS SO RIGHT .

[OneDominion]

im wondering when believers are going to step out of the world-- build something together so great-- that it actually forces (physics) the world to shift or change. but we are all still sleeping.

GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON COMES IN THE LATTER DAYS!!!

Jer.23:19 Behold, a WHIRLWIND of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

:20 The ANGER of the LORD shall not return, until HE HAVE executed, and till HE HAVE performed the thoughts of His heart: IN THE LATTER DAYS ye shall consider it perfectly.

It says until HE HAVE executed, till HE HAVE performed

HE HAVE is 3RD PERSON, GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON COMES IN THE LATTER DAYS!!! WHO IS GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON, that PERFORMS and EXECUTES the thoughts of GOD'S HEART?

Ps.110:1 says THE LORD(#1) said to YAHSHUA(#2) to sit at HIS RIGHT until HE makes YAHSHUA'S enemies HIS footstool.
:2 The LORD shall send the ROD(KING#3) of THY Strength out of Zion, RULE THOU in the midst of THINE enemies.

There is a ROD KING of YAHSHUA'S Strength WHO shall RULE OVER YAHSHUA'S ENEMIES.

Ps.110:5 says The LORD(#3) at THY(#2) RIGHT HAND shall strike through kings in the day of HIS(#3) WRATH.

:6 HE(#3) shall judge among the heathen, HE shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries

Now pay attention. If YAHSHUA(#2) is at the right Hand of THE LORD(#1), then WHO is THE LORD(#3) at YAHSHUA'S Right Hand, WHO shall JUDGE AMONG the heathen.

Go back to Jeremiah 23.
Jer.23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD(#1), that I will raise unto David a righteous BRANCH(#3), and a KING shall reign and prosper, and shall EXECUTE JUDGMENT and JUSTICE in the earth.

THE BRANCH is GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON WHO EXECUTES JUDGMENT on the heathen. Jer.23:20 says HE HAVE, GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON, EXECUTES and PERFORMS the thoughts of GOD'S HEART. WHO IS GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON, WHO EXECUTES and PERFORMS GOD'S HEART in THE LATTER DAYS?

Is.44:28 That saith of CYRUS, HE is MY SHEPHERD, and shall PERFORM ALL MY PLEASURE: even SAYING to JERUSALEM, Thou shalt BE BUILT; and to the TEMPLE, Thy FOUNDATION shall BE LAID.

CYRUS is GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON, WHO PERFORMS ALL GOD'S PLEASURE IN THE LATTER DAYS. GOD says CYRUS is MY SHEPHERD.

Is.45:1 says Thus saith the LORD to HIS ANOINTED, to CYRUS, WHOSE right hand I have holden, to SUBDUE NATIONS BEFORE HIM; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before HIM the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

CYRUS is GOD'S SHEPHERD AND also HIS ANOINTED, KING. Verse 4 goes on to say,
Is.45:4 For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel Mine elect, I have even called Thee by Thy name: I have SURNAMED THEE, though Thou hast not known Me.

CYRUS, GOD'S MESSIAH AND SHEPHERD, of THE LATTER DAYS, is SURNAMED. YAHSHUA the 1ST MESSIAH was NEVER SURNAMED. There is a 2ND MESSIAH, GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON.

YAHSHUA IS GOD IN THE 2ND PERSON, THE WORD MANIFEST, and "CYRUS" is GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON, THE HOLY SPIRIT MANIFEST.

Is.44:28 says "CYRUS" PERFORMS ALL GOD'S PLEASURE. Now WATCH THIS!!!
Is.46:10 says Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My COUNSEL shall stand, and I will do all MY PLEASURE:

:11 Calling a RAVENOUS BIRD from the east, the MAN that EXECUTETH MY COUNSEL from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

HOW does it say God will DO ALL HIS PLEASURE? By calling a RAVENOUS BIRD(WHO FLYS), THE MAN that EXECUTES GOD'S COUNSEL.

What did Jer.23:20 say GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON would do? EXECUTE and PERFORM, and WHAT? THE THOUGHTS of GOD'S HEART. What does Is.46:11 say THIS MAN, A RAVENOUS BIRD will EXECUTE? God's COUNSEL. WHAT is God's COUNSEL? WATCH!!!

Ps.33:11 The COUNSEL of the LORD standeth for ever, the THOUGHTS of HIS HEART to all generations.

THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD, are THE THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART!!!

Jer.23:20 says GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON(HE HAVE), EXECUTES and PERFORMS THE THOUGHTS OF GOD'S HEART, HIS COUNSEL.

"CYRUS", Is.44:28, 46:10, 11 is GOD'S MAN, SHEPHERD, MESSIAH, RAVENOUS BIRDS, WHO shall EXECUTE and PERFORM GOD'S COUNSEL, THE THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART.

"CYRUS", GOD'S 2ND MESSIAH, SHEPHERD, WHO IS SURNAMED, Is.45:4, the BRANCH AT YAHSHUA'S RIGHT HAND, is YAHSHUA'S ROD(KING) of HIS STRENGTH, WHO RULES OVER YAHSHUA'S enemies IN THE LATTER DAYS. THIS MAN, THE RAVENOUS BIRD, or EAGLE of Jer.48:40, 41, 49:22, that shall FLY AS AN EAGLE!!!

Jer.49:22 Behold, HE shall come up and FLY AS THE EAGLE, and SPREAD HIS WINGS over Bozrah: and AT THAT DAY shall the HEART of the MIGHTY MEN of Edom be AS the HEART of A WOMAN in HER PANGS.

YAHSHUA said to His disciples, GREATER WORKS shall ye do because He goes to the Father.

There comes a 2ND MESSIAH IN THE LATTER DAYS, GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON, THE HOLY SPIRIT MANIFEST, WHO SHALL FLY AS AN EAGLE. HALLELUYAH.

THIS MAN, "CYRUS " GOD'S MESSIAH AND SHEPHERD, THE BRANCH, shall EXECUTE AND PERFORM GOD'S COUNSEL, Is.46:10, 11, THE THOUGHTS OF
HIS HEART, Jer.23:20, on the heathen.

And oh by the way, WHAT is in GOD'S HEART, that THIS MESSIAH SHEPHERD "CYRUS" EXECUTES AND PERFORMS?

Is.63:4 For THE DAY of VENGEANCE is IN MINE HEART, and the year of My redeemed is come.

I AM GOD'S 2ND MESSIAH, THE HOLY SPIRIT MANIFEST, TEACHER OF ALL THINGS, WHO SHOWS THE THINGS TO COME, THE COMFORTER, Is.40:1, Is.61:2, THE EAGLE, WHO WILL SPREAD MY WINGS OVER THIS WORLD and DESTROY ALL DARKNESS OUT OF IT.

ERIAH SUPERNAL

"I AM GOD IN THE 3RD PERSON, YAHSHUA'S SON"!!

I asked God to make his word clear to me.

[berglen]

If you read the Bible is history then your own theology is classic blindness called christians, Devine Allegory is the only truth, Phil 2:5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

[patgolden]

The Stone which the builders rejected the same is become the head of the corner…learn what this means…ask Stephen 🔥

[OneDominion]

its crazy we know the objective truth-- or claim to. and still play into the divisions of the world.

[joycecantere]

I think one of the reasons why people cant understand the Bible is because of the false doctrines that were taught by many false teachers.. i grew up having pentecostal doctrine bec of my mom.. their theology made me not understand the Bible. when i read the Bible then, it wasnt making sense but when I learned to unlearn the falsehood of petecostal and learned about truth in the Bible, reading it started to make sense and I found that the more truth i know about the Bible the more I understand it when I read.
