15 April, in the year of our Lord, 2022:
Looking for a question that will trip-up nearly any 21st c. christian?
And since I have answered it before rather than answering it yet once more today on this GOOD FRIDAY, I will point you (my christian, jewish and anti-Christ friends) to previous Good Friday posts on which perhaps you might comment (publicly or privately) in this year of our Lord 2022.
Why do you call a day JESUS was killed on a Cross good; what GOOD is it to you or for me?
Look at the NEWS of today (and I dare say NONE of it is ‘Good News.’
CLICK FOR example of BBC World News
- Is ‘god’ even news-worthy?
- Does your local forecast not give more credibility to Mother Nature?
- Even TgIF may soon give way to some new credit.
It’s GUNS that kill, COVID which kills, FOSSIL FUELS will kill, the OTHER political party who kills everything right & GOOD!
Tell me, How can JESUS make anything about TODAY good?
GOD IS GOOD (Believe Him; or not)
Will you believe David?
19:1 למנצח מזמור לדוד׃ (19:2) השמים מספרים כבוד־אל ומעשה ידיו מגיד הרקיע׃
Masoretic Text Psalm 19:1-2
The heavens tell of the glory of God;
Psalm 19:1b NASB20 – The Works and the Word of God.
And their expanse declares the work of His hands.
Will you believe Moses? מֹשֶׁה
וַיַּרְא יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַיָּד הַגְּדֹלָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה בְּמִצְרַיִם וַיִּֽירְאוּ הָעָם אֶת־יְהוָה וַיַּֽאֲמִינוּ בַּֽיהוָה וּבְמֹשֶׁה עַבְדּֽוֹ׃ פ

When Israel saw the great power which the LORD had used against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD, and they believed in the LORD and in His servant Moses.
Exodus 14: Now the LORD spoke to Moses..:31
This is the victory of the LORD after His Passover of good woshipers among the Hebrews when the LORD killed the firstborns of the land.
Will you believe the [Gospel] GOOD NEWS of John 5?
“Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in the same way..
“For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father..
You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is those very Scriptures that testify about Me..
Yet truthfully -- and sadly -- not only do many jews no longer believe Scripture, but too many 'evangelical christians' no longer hold to the Way, the Truth & the Life of the Scriptures either.
“How can you believe, when you accept glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?
“For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
Gospel of John 5:45[46]-47 NASB20 + Challenge of the Messiah Jesus to those who refuse to believe Scripture.
Will you believe the Bible?
The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU.”
Galatians 3:8
All Scripture is [God-breathed] inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for [reprimand] rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be [proficient] fully capable, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NASB20
Why don’t YOU Talk of JESUS?
- I don’t talk of GOD.
- I don’t care about the Israel of David.
- I don’t think Moses applies anymore.
- Certainly JESUS is not GOOD NEWS for most!
- I do NOT believe the the BIBLE is TRUTH (for me).
IF these are YOUR excuses to say that GOOD FRIDAY is NOT GOOD NEWS for YOU, you will not want to Talk of JESUS [HERE, or anywhere else].
For salvation is only for those the Lord will choose as His faithful remnant who will believe.
