23Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
He has already seen the destiny that is about to happen but the guys around him weren’t allowed to speak on it, it’s a hint.
20"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
Peter answered, "The Christ[a] of God."
Peter knew about the prophecies in the old testaments.
21Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone. 22And he said, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life."
Conquering death to prove it in this world. And the reporters will take it from there, at least 200 eyewitness news people.
While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44"Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men." 45But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
arthwollipot says, and asks,
Yeah, nice. But what about those of us who don't accept the authority of scripture? What do you have for us?
24For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."
27 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."
The believers will not taste death they go on and those that purposely reject stay behind.
Time is not issues get there first. Do you think that good things won’t be there, that you will get bored?

Was the soul there in the beginning? It was with God till he puts it into a human.
In the fetus there is no brain there to be able to bring along a memory of that other side because if we did we would all be saved by knowing and then we would fall on the other side of death any way, it’s a test to see if with total freewill, will we recognize on our own what is right or wrong by faith in God or will we rebel and follow the wrong foundation of principalities.
16"No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him."
The more knowledge I acquire and faith the more faith I get, I keep seeing more.
He is saying you got to have faith first to get more insight.
“17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.”
This part is what happens to skeptics, “whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him."
So you may never see, that you will have less insight. You keep going down that road you will never have proof. If you don’t want to prove it to yourself you will never see more proof.
How does this happen? That life force went somewhere and is brought back; now think did God transfer a soul into Adam when he breathed life into Adam?
The body was there what did he put into him to make him come to life?
The body had to be living to be acceptable to take a soul.
That is the soul. His power is so great he can redo it after death here or there.
14Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" 15The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
More eyewitnesses.
We are given a chance to come around to God because of the question of being away from God and following the principality of good verses evil, that’s why we are here can we figure it out alone? Yes and no, Even by being good you have sinned if you don’t believe. So therefore you are not good a soul as a skeptic; by interfering with Gods plan to save everybody.
Why you say?
Because that other person that you influenced may not be as good as you were therefore you take his only chance in the belief of Jesus to be saved you have interfered with his plan for life for all everlasting.
Therefore you have sinned with lack of the faith that God has given as a gift for all through his sons sacrifice for us to get a pass to that everlasting life and imposed a death sentence on an innocent being, who will probably be excused since you will now take it up for the person you have deceived, (you become his sacrifice and have accomplished nothing anyway.)
Take the scales off of your eyes.
Radfan says,
Tell me this edge, many, many people have relied on faith in these gods, why should they not be blessed.
None of those have shown anything in real life, and can't conquered death.
And everything I said above.
Pophoff says,
Edge thinks that no matter where he was born in this world he would be a Christian, but he wouldn't be true. Whatever religion his parents were he would be to.
Paul
Wrong. Read above, God already knows my heart and he knows yours and what I write here and now may not stick and might be you last chance.
This part, “whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him."
This is where you are at right now. But you still have that chance for something to click, because he is using me, maybe to talk to you.
I am fascinated by what he is doing by my writings because, "No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
I would never come up with these answers. Then to see even farther, but I’m still not perfect, not yet.
I could fall and be devoured by your false principalities! Like others in here, (NOT), but there’s example of the opposite happening in here like the writer of the other thread, he was an atheist, Proof Of God. Praise the Lord it does work.
Oppressed says,
These are all pretty good motivations for people to believe and have faith in something which is predictable untrue.
They are finding out now that the history of what’s written in the Bible is true the time lines are correct and documented even better than expected.
Personally, I prefer to have faith in things, which are predictable true.
But not things like history that are proven events?
Well the death of us all is predictably true, but I have faith that’s its an illusion.
Now I must go talk about Mars.
Living 19,999,999,900+ other lives to see what life is like in someone else's shoes. The universe knows itself through our experiences.
