One Final Thought on Whether Jesus Did or Did Not Lie
And now up dated with a third lie of Jesus!
Forget the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection for now!
Lets go straight to the facts as stated by Jesus himself!
To set the record straight as to whether or not Jesus (or the Gospels writers) used lies to get people to join Christianity: Are or are not the following two statements made by Jesus true and correct promises and claims (as simply stated with no apologetic excuses please)?
1. John 14: 13 -14:
“Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.”
2. Matt. 16: 28:
“Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."
3. Mark 13:2:
"Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down." (Just what is the Wailing Wall then?! Duh!)
Finally, based on what Jesus promised people if they converted and what he claimed about the Devil (aka: Satan); who would you trust more: A used car salesman or Jesus?
In the end, my challenge (per John 8:44) remains: Based on the Hebrew text and it alone:
1. No one has yet proven to me Satan is a liar! (See my notes on Genesis!)
2. No one has yet proven to me Satan is murder! (See my notes on Job!)
