THE BIBLE IS A WONDERFUL BOOK

yeah, my conclusion after 6 chapters of John

Chap 6
Many people use human logic to judge spiritual things; use worldly measure to measure the the untimate and divine. They use intellectual reasoning more than spiritual faith in Jesus. Hence, they fall out of the fold - fall from the herd of the followers of Christ, because spiritual things thought with our human minds would seem nonsense. ( It takes the spiritually discerning to discern spiritual things) These people think their reasonling is infallible and hence Christ's words incredible.

6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Also verse 47 - 58

These are the people that so not exercise faith. Who do not believe in what they cannot see and explain at the moment. Their unbelief cause them to lose their salvation.

I think when we read from the bible we wll understand the words of Christ because we know the spiritual concepts already. Concepts of Christ's death and resurrection and how it applys to the plan of salvation. Hence what Christ says makes perfect sense. For the common folk at Christ's time, it may be inconceivable because the works of Christ is heard from here and there and may be really fragmentated. However, thay are not disadvantaged because they're living in that time and don't have to New testament to piece things together. As they have seen Jesus's flawless life and His miracles through interaction with Him. Moreover, many of the old testament scriptures point toward Jesus's Birth, His ministry and His ultimate sacrifice. Any dilligent and sincere student would understand His words perfectly and stand inawe of His perfection.

True religion required alot of FAITH.

My take away is that we musn't use the measuring tape of man to measure the deep things of God. When we doubt, seek spiritual guidence or pray. Many things are a mystery to a believer, because we are humans with limited understanding. We cannot attempt to comprehend the unlimited knowledge of God many times.

The rule of the thumb is to pray to God for wisdom, knowledge and understanding when trying to understand concepts of God. Then, trust Him to reveal His meaning to us in due season.

FAITH FAITH FAITH FAITH GOD GIVE ME FAITH.
