Good Morning,
Luke 16:30-31 says:
30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’”
Some people are hard to reach. You can share facts with them, you can show them statistics and charts, and you can who them proof of your point and they just will not accept it.
Some people need to learn from their own experience, and even then, some do not get it. Like touching a live wire you will get shocked. Some people will go and touch it again and again. Some touch it for the ‘thrill’, some touch it for the rebelliousness of it knowing you will be wincing when they feel pain. Some will do it because they forgot that it was live, and still others will touch it not having even heard you the first seven times and go ahead and touch the wire.
I find this with my walk with Christ. Different people have different experiences, and add to this the different versions of the Bible with different takes on the same Gospels and texts, and then there are the different forms of Christianity.
When I was first in Hebrew Sunday School, I learned stories, and only read from the Torah short passages, and then in Hebrew only. I did not get much of what was said or meant. Partially due to this, I did not hear the big message of Judaism, and that following me into my other religious experiences.
I would not listen and repent no matter who said anything. I was invited to Walk with God by many, and I turned away at all times. I turned away from teachers, friends, priests, and even the teachings of those who have departed, and while enticing at times, it did not call to me.
It was not until I started reading the Word of God myself that I repented and started my Walk with God.
When I see confusion in the landscape of faith, I now turn to the Word and it helps, every time.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
