John 1:18 "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."
From a visible god of genocide seen many many Israelites to a God of love and mercy seen by none but revealed by Jesus Christ. From a god known far and wide by his sword smashing your skull to a God totally unknown by anyone but the Son and he to whom the Son would reveal him. (Mat 11:27)
The rejection of the OT as the revelation of a subpar deity, the 'god of this world' as Paul calls him. Now there's change I can believe in.
Isaiah 7 is about Mahershalalhashbaz. Micah 5 about Zorobabel. Jer 31 Rachel weeps because of Babylonian exile. Hosea 11:1 Israel the nation is called out of Egypt as Yahweh's son. "He shall be called a Nazarene"? Doesn't exist in the OT. Romans 3 rips several verses from Psalms out of context, Romans 4 misuses the story of Abraham, Romans 9 is just one giant knot of twisting. All the OT used in the NT is an illusion. The Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are not the god of the OT. The god of the OT is the 'god of this world' (2 Cor 4:4) the 'ruler of this world' (John 12:31), one of the 'rulers of the darkness of this world' (Eph 6:12)
Yahweh "sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them" (Psa 18:14), therefore Paul says "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." (Eph 6:16)
Dear Jay,
My web master notified me that you had used my cartoon (first one in your article with the cola machine) without attribution. It's his job to track those sort of things. While I have no problem with you posting it, I would appreciate it if you would use it only with a link to my website like you did the last logo you used). My website is: http://www.thechangeagent.com. Many thanks. I tried to find an email to contact you directly but could not.
Blessings, Patti Hathaway, The CHANGE AGENT
Patti,
