Then I don't have to teach you about the Lord. There is no reason to tell you to know the Lord, you already know him.
 
Other people know about the Lord but they do not want anything to do with Him? They are simply to skeptical and perhaps do not know what is true about the Bible at all? Perhaps God can reveal himself to them one day, and they make the choice to go because they know the LORD had sent the Son of God to pay for their sins and they are already forgiven, and if they desire to have a life in connection with God they can do so freely by and through the Lord Jesus Christ, in and through prayer and if they choose to read and learn the scripture that can help increase their faith and produce more love.

The point is, that from the expanse of the universe God is at least known to have created us all, some are just blind sighted, and perhaps unable to see just yet.

Psalms 19:1 For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at, Matthew, but if you’re suggesting we’re in the kingdom now, we’re not. Jeremiah 31:33-34 is about the future.

Only God has authority, aside from our governing system such as supervisors, police officers, and judges - who are in place to contain what it is that they do in their very own work. Did I ever say I had any authority in the post? Not that is recalled to my mind.

I don’t recall anyone on this forum ever claiming to have authority from God. But when you teach as if it is fact then you are claiming some kind of authority.
 
Thank you for your comment meshak, and I don't suppose I am Grace.

Haters gonna hate aint that what they say?
