Waiting for what?

You want me to tell you to go jump in a lake?

You believe that Jesus commands us to jump in lakes?

You believe that if someone doesn’t jump in a lake on your say-so, they don’t believe in God?

Which is it?

Waiting ...

"Waiting for what?"

Well, I must admit that it was a little sarcastic. The "waiting", however, was for you to follow the orders of Jesus. You had previously said you follow the orders of Jesus and the remark was intended to call attention to the fact that Jesus is not always speaking to us directly. Our ability to put ourselves in the audience is selective. The Apostles being given the right to forgive, is not necessarily Rome being given this right. It is a huge, some might say arroagant, assumption that Jesus was speaking to Rome. I'm no longer waiting.

AC Seriously, first day of Lent and you're paraphrasing Satan? Trying to get others to tempt God? You want me to tell you to go jump in a lake? You believe that Jesus commands us to jump in lakes? You believe that if someone doesn’t jump in a lake on your say-so, they don’t believe in God?

Talk about a lack of understanding! WOW! I know I shouldn't be laughing but I am. Way too funny!! Truly the natural man cannot understand the things of God.
