Of course they can hear that but what good is hearing without comprehension they cannot serve two masters... and how can they obey? they are incapable of obeying Scripture explicitly states that. I'm at work right now I'm just starting...
God bless and enjoy your workday sister I miss work so much
…Right
they have to choose between good and evil since Adam and Eve sis
We cant serve both Adam couldn’t obey gods commandment about the fruit and also follow the serpents ideer about it. It forces a choice when he saw both before him. Can’t serve both gotta take man’s rightful step of faith and choose who we’re gonna serve
“Know ye not, that
to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?
Romans 6:16KJV
Can’t follow the flesh and also spirit
“Therefore, brethren,
we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For
if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
Romans 8:12-13 KJV
It seems like he’s telling them before “ what I’m speaking and saying is not hidden from you so that you can’t hear it and obey it , it’s life or death for you so choose life “
For
this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is
not in heaven, that thou shouldest say,
Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
( them not hearing or grasping or having no choice isnt the problem he’s giving them a choice to both extremes )
See,
I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; I call
heaven and earth to record this day against you,( it’s important when God calls two witnesses to establish something he said ) that
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”
Deuteronomy 30:11-12, 15, 19
they can hear him but they
choose not to
he’s been pleading with mankind a long time he isn’t the one causing thier faults and sin and everything he’s calling to them to repent. Like he did with isreal so long
“
Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for
the LORD hath spoken. ( a lot of people aren’t willing to give Jesus tbier ear . that’s what we need to do as lost sinners in order to be saved , we need to hear Jesus and his apostles speak about our salvation , that’s how we can believe )
Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
But
if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; ( yet God is not allowing them to hear and understand it ?) and
mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.”
Jeremiah 13:15-17 K
There’s always two options because mankind has a Will and a need to choose since good and evil became our condition . If God causes only some to be able to be saved and others he causes to be wicked and reject the gospel he’s been speaking nonsense because the Bible nt and old repetitively is
God telling mankind the important truths and having men who believed preach it. To the people so they could hear it
And we live in a
world where good and evil is always present and possible for us to engage in and engage with it but we’re supposed to choose the good and shun the evil he’s told men this always
God has been telling us the truth from the start , then the world has a lie about what he said that comes after it . We have to have faith and not let the lie pull us away from Gods word. But it doesn’t just happen . Gotta hold on to Jesus and the gospel for dear life really sometimes on the journey
My Position sis is the gospel is already able to save any sinner who hears it and believes . God made it possible to hear the gospel
when he sent it forth to be preached to everyone and gave his spirit to believers.
“Simon Peter, a servant and
an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, ( this is what the gospel is )
according as
his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: ( this is what the gospel does )
whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ( Jesus makes wonderful promises to believers in the gospel promises of freedom and truth )
And beside this, giving
all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue
knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to
temperance patience; and to patience
godliness; and to godliness
brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For
if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But he that
lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Wherefore the rather,
brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”
2 Peter 1:1-11 KJV
we still have to do our part his parts been done and is done for all who believe and even those who refuse to believe
as we hear the doctrine , what’s actually being said it’s offering us a choice sis hearing and then some will accept it , some will not accept it they’ll reject it.
By thier will not gods will because they choose sin over righteousness and desire it more than God
