I Corinthians 1:29 so that no flesh should boast in His presence.
Acts 4:13 And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlearned and ordinary men, they marveled. And they recognized that they had been with Messiah.
I fit this description as one called to receive His Spirit and led to understand His precious truth, to share with others.
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, It shall teach you all and remind you of all that I said to you.
John 15:13 No one has greater love than this; that one should lay down his life for his friends.
There can be two paths to reach the same conclusion – one is secular, or academia and the other is spiritual and revealed knowledge. Fred Markent started out an atheist and devout Marxist, and because he is a history scholar and understands the repetitive cycles and phases that all the great Empires have gone through in their rise and their falls, he, like MacArthur, whom I quoted earlier, see the only answer for mankind’s redemption and survival is a supernatural intervention and the conversion of all mankind. Let us just be thankful that there is only one eternal truth and way for all mankind.
John 14:6 Elohim said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:45 And because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
Most of mankind has rejected Him and His truth.
John 17:17 Set them apart in Your truth – Your Word is truth.
The majority of people who read this book are too self-indulgent, self-centered, and not really Elohim-centered enough to surrender themselves to the will of their Creator.
Luke 14:26 If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, and his own life too, he is unable to be My taught one.
The word “hate” in this verse means to love less.
