Unbelievers, Faith Is A Simple Test: To Find Out If You Are Teachable?

[JAG 5000]

If it turns out that you are not teachable, then obviously you know more than God knows and there will be no place for you in God's Heaven.

Heaven can only have one Supreme Being.

A Supreme Being that will never consent to become a student to be taught wisdom and truths by any of His fallen and very sinful human creatures.

Humans who characteristically do things like democratically electing Adolf Hitler to power . . .

. . . and who follow the Rev Jim Jones to Jonestown and drink the Kool Air and near 1000 then lay down to die . . .

. . . and who follow David Koresh (Branch Dividians) 75 of 84 DIED ...

and the Heavens Gate Cult - 39 dead by suicide . . .

. . . then World War 1 the totally unnecessary war that killed many millions and all for absolutely NOTHING . . .

So?

So why would God want to be taught by the likes of fallen corrupted and in many cases totally INSANE humans?

Why put any faith in nutty insane dangerous human beings?

Just the opposite the . . .

Lord Jesus said, "Have faith in God." {Mark 11:22}

And you will for certain make a Free Will decision on that and you will end up saying either:

(1) Yes I will have faith in God and allow God to teach me what He wants me to know.

or you will end up saying:

{2) I will not. NO NO NO, I will NOT. (and THAT leads to John 3:16's perish)

Thoughts?

Unbelievers or non-dogmatized?

[Hebrews 11:6]

It really is a simple enough choice that even children can make it.

“If it turns out that you are not teachable, then obviously you know more than God knows and there will be no place for you in God’s Heaven”

Why would God create someone that is not teachable?

If the Germans had elected the Communists in the early 30’s, how do you think Europe would have turned out by 1950?

I sometimes say the the Lord put the proverbial cookies on a low shelf where all us crumb grabbers can reach for a cookie.

[Rurudyne]

Poor, starving and terrorized.

God causes someone to be teachable in the first place.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

So many people today believe the modern propaganda about the Bible being outdated or somehow untrue. What will become of those who accept such sayings without seriously researching it themselves? Is their only excuse, “I don’t need to look into an old book because I am modern and smart and so are my friends”? I’m not sure that “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do” will be applicable to these folks.

[Rurudyne]

Yes, He does sometimes make some unteachable for His purposes.

One mentioned in Scripture, being turned over to depraved mind, is always for a cause, though.

Willfully not retaining knowledge of the Lord they worship the creation, something in the creation or something they devise and they are also ungrateful to Him.

People tend to not think of ingratitude as a grevious sin, but the Lord seems to consider it so.

Hitler wasn’t democratically elected to power. He was appointed chancellor by the president.

[MtnClimber]

[Hebrews 11:6]

God is reachable for all those who seek Him earnestly.

Why would God create someone that is not teachable?

For the same reason people have and love children who don't listen (and aren't teachable).

A lot of people who go to church don't read the Bible. I guess they feel like they've done enough by simply going to church and Sunday School. When I mention that I read the Bible everyday on Audible and tell them where they can get the same audio Bible on youtube for free (read by David Suchet of TV's Poirot fame), they show no interest.

Given that these people attended church and say they are Christians, I am dumbfounded that they aren't interested in the Bible.

It must be that they think church is some kind of community service club. I guess it gives them a warm and fuzzy feeling and that's all they need from it.

If anyone here is interested in listening to the audio Bible I mentioned above, I posted the link here in this FR thread::

To Find Out If You Are Teachable

Matthew 4

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Here's a 200 mile high mountain:

That’s also a captain of a 50..

Not an accident this nation began with 13 Colonies and grew to 50 states..
With a captain of that 50 being DC.

Following Spiritual Israel (New Covenant Church) patterns and path and having its own physical Israel patterns and paths too..

Elijah called fire down on 2 Captains and their 50s..
Hot hot hot!

Maybe DC and its 50 will feel some heat x2 when an Elijah comes.

[Ezekiel]

Thanks for pointing out the *unit* sum of 50.

These are observations (not interpretations) that you may already know, but it seemed relevent to post in response:

50 = 13 + 37, both relating to singularity:

13 is an oft mentioned gematria in Judaism because it is the value of the Hebrew word echad, "one"
(E Pluribus Unum)
37 = yechida, meaning "unit" (e.g. a unit of measurement, an army unit). Yechida is also the name for the highest of the 5 soul levels in Judaism -- the soul of the Messiah, the unified soul of all humanity. One collective Adam, mankind. The total round-up so to speak.

Star numbers (Star of David): the first 3 are

1, 13, 37

Other notable star numbers include 73 ("wisdom"), 541 ("Israel"), and 661 ("Esther"). "Esther" means star, and also "I will hide" (esater: Gen 4:14, Job 13:20).

Who Knows 50?

Thanks for the links..

That 37 is a mirror of 73..

Significant?

[Ezekiel]

37 x 73 = 2701 = the sum of Gen 1:1
