If God’s word bothers someone, that is not God’s word that is offensive, that is their heart.
If a heart is filled with this world and the things of the flesh, which is a normal condition of Earth-dwellers, then, those feelings of offense of The Bible will make you cringe.
To the natural mind, the gospel is absurd.
People can make all the excuses they want to define logic, but God’s ways are not our ways.
God’s ways are higher than our ways and His thought than our thoughts. (from Isaiah 55)
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
If Jesus has shown you Who He is, believe Him. He is above all.
His thoughts are much much higher than any human thoughts,
no matter how great the argument, He wins.
For people to push His words aside, so they can justify their own lofty thoughts, is not pleasing to God.
Those who resist the truth, will be led astray. God promises that to all who reject the truth:
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
Being damned is the eventuality of those who despise the truth. No matter what it is.
It will peel and eat away at your soul until you are led astray. You will not know you are led astray.
It will just happen. It is a promise in His word and cannot be changed.
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation;
of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when He cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38
There is no getting around it. If you do not honor Jesus’ words or if you are stout against His words,
or if you are ignoring His words, you are in a negative situation and doomed.
That is a harsh word.
I speak the truth and you will find nowhere in the word of God that gives you excuse or reason to think that things have changed and Jesus’ words do not matter, that goes for any word in The Bible.
That thought pattern, to believe His word changes is a lie of the enemy.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away. Matthew 24:35
Jesus is His word. What He says is. What He says is above any other reasoning that we think.
In the beginning was the word and word was with God and the word was God. John 1:1
Do His will. Believe His word and place your lofty thoughts at the foot of His cross.
Jesus will give you wisdom if you ask. Please ask.
There are many thoughts parading around as though they are God’s thoughts but are not.
Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21
