I appreciate your response and understanding but there is one big Word of the Lord that I hold before my eyes which is "My people perish, for lack of understanding".

I have seen what lack of understanding has done to people, and of course, I was one of them. And I Greatly Fear it.

But when I considered the ways of the Righteous and the Wise, I Found that indeed, they had Many Many Understandings.

And meanwhile, Nobody can buy Understanding in market, nor can they fashion a Good One.

And this is where I Greatly Thank God for giving us King David, who was able to Capture all that Abraham, Jacob and Moses knew and mixed with his own personal knowledge, he gave unto us the Gifts of the Proverbs and Psalms.

Which Clearly told me that Understanding, is Given By the Lord Himself. And He Shows us the various ways we can obtain the Understanding that Comes from the Lord.

So, as Paul and the Disciples have Truly said, I can walk Confidently and Surely Always, as the things which we do everyday, without Fear or Failure.

This is what I humbly share and advocate for.

BackllGodNaija:
Okay kindly explain to me what you think of Jesus who is Master and Lord openly exhibiting the limitations of His knowledge before His disciples when He asked God in the glaring eyes of the public why He had forsaken Him....Do you think it was unwise of Him to do so? When I said this orientation has been of tremendous help to me and many others, it also included His disciples who made it possible for us to have His gospel today, because such example of Jesus was what gave them the confidence and motivation to achieve that in spite of all the trials, persecutions they faced even to the point of death. And that's the example I'm trying to emulate to achieve likewise but you seem to think otherwise.

Dtruthspeaker:


I honestly do think otherwise.

For without knowledge and understanding, we continue to walk in fear and in uncertainty and never in Confidence and Boldness.

For look at all who follow the Lord, Not One was ever afraid nor could there confidence be shaken at anytime by anyone high or low, Pharisee or scribe.

Why? Because they were Full of Knowledge and Understanding coupled with the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit fell on those who accepted the Words of Christ, But, they still needed to grow in Knowledge and Understanding, hence the Reason why We Have what is Called the New Testament.

Thus, 2 Timothy 1:7

" For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind".

David in Proverbs 2 tells us

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Proverbs 3:13-18
"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

These are my grounds of my Stand for I do Verily Stand as A Witness to the live Truths of these Clear Holy and Wonderful Words.

BackllGodNaija:
You have every right to do so, however I believe if you truly have the interest of God at heart you ought to have a rethink, because we can't possibly know better than the Master. If the open portrayal of uncertainty and one's limited knowledge wasn't comforting at all to anyone or doesn't inspires any form of confidence as you think, I believe Jesus would be the last to do so. This was someone whose disciples had invested all their lives, hopes and everything they got in believing He knew everything and was a sure bet. But here He was helplessly hanging on the cross right before their very eyes...as if that was not already bad enough, now asking God why He had forsaken Him?

You approved of their consequent fearlessness and confidence...it would be contradictory to at the same time disapprove of such experiences and examples of the Master that inspired such in them. They definitely went through similar trying and uncertain moments in their lives but knowing that their Master had gone through similar experiences would have been most comforting to them, because if that could happen to their highly esteemed Master, how much more they His servants? That I believe was what strengthened their resolve in spite of such uncertainties and difficulties they faced, because they had learnt from their Master, that "God is still God regardless and He's never made a mistake", which happens to be the objective of this message.

I answered! And God is Real!

GRIMMJOE:
Saying something is real doesn't make it any real.

LordReed:
Since this question was asked on the front page it has resonated frequently in my mind. The question is how do you know god is not lying?

LordReed:

If he told you he is good, how do you know he is not lying?

LordReed:

If he told you he can't make a mistake, how do you know he is not lying?
