Missing the Truth About Jesus Christ - Belief in the True Son of Almighty God, Jesus Christ, More Than a Prophet - is the Only Hope

You have missed the entire reason for the need of humanity to accept Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior. And I'll not respond to the other exchanges to make this last point known, but here is the underlying cause of any who choose not to believe in the truth of Jesus Christ. You do not WANT to!

Your reasons are your own, and quite frankly, though it is a mystery that you would throw away the only chance to understand the love Almighty God poured out for you, it is the same when He appeared to His people nearly two thousand years ago and they rejected Him for the Roman cross, and it is the same today.

Why? Because the Scriptures say, Jesus Christ: the same yesterday, today, forever. So many have tried to salve their conscience of spiritual inadequacy, just like this reader before Jesus Christ pulled this sinner out of the darkness of not knowing Him, and this reader was raised in a Christian environment. But that was not good enough, just like it is spiritually apparent that following the Quran is not spiritually enough. Only in believing that Jesus Christ, as the Son of Almighty God, went to the cross to save you from your sins by shedding His precious blood (it is the blood that cleanses), dying there as payment for your sin debt, being raised again for the justification of our faith, and now waiting for the Father's command to fully redeem the earth and bring it under submission to Almighty God, does anyone get to the eternal promise of salvation.

Look, time to debate the semantics of these exchanges over the past few months is GONE. Russia has begun its advance as scripturally promised; the EU, or the United Nations, or the G-8 are trying to make sense of what is next and they are not getting it. Syria is seething to gain Golan; Hamas has the underbelly of Israel targeted; Hizbollah has Lebanon ready to do another take of the 2006 incursion of northern Israel. And Iran sits in the wings with their 'nuclear threat', managing somehow to keep everyone agitated and ready to go to guns, all the while ready to impose their version of Islam as prepared by the late Ayatollah Khomeini in the Islamic Revolution, Shia style.

Even the UAE is now embroiled with Iran's exertion over the Abu Musa, Greater Tunb Island, and Lesser Tunb Islands, in a first step to gain control over the Strait of Hormuz. Are you ready to defend that? It is all coming together, just as Jesus Chrsit said, in His Word, in His power, in His authority given to Him by Almighty God. Now that is being different than any other prophet. Jesus Christ is not just any other prophet, but the LORD. The Islamic Prophet did not comprehend that, would not believe it, and could not write about it, because he did not believe the truth about Jesus Christ. Believe in the LORD Jesus Christ and be saved.
