Was Jesus mistaken at John 5:37 or could there be another explanation regarding who was heard and seen as God in OT times?
The adjective "Almighty" is found many times in the Bible and is used only in connection with God.
YHWH is the holy God of love yet He has another attribute which very few seem willing to contemplate or address—that he is a killer.
There are many characteristics of the one, true living God that many are totally unaware of, but of all of them, the fact that God "tests" us in many different ways, as He did those in Bible days, is perhaps the most enlightening. Though denied by some in our day, this indisputable fact that God tests us was readily known in both Old Testament and in New Testament times.
In our day, God's faithfulness to us has been distorted and greatly over-emphasized. The real issue is not God's faithfulness to us, but our faithfulness to Him to the very end of our lives.
There appears to be a growing trend among evangelicals that Christians are to "enjoy" God while, at the same time, there is a de-emphasis on fearing God. Should Christians fear God or not?Return to top
