Have you seen God’s glory?

Post #1

Post by Bobcat »

Jesus said to believe so you will see God’s glory. Now many believe it is after you die but no, a misunderstanding.

If you have not seen the glory of God then what you think is believing is not really believing.

John 11:40 NRS

40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

So, do you believe?

Have you seen God’s glory?

What does it look like? I ask because I was once a believing Christian and don't recall ever seeing anything out of the ordinary.

It is a mystery to the wicked but joy to the righteous.

So you haven't got an answer. Okay.

I see your not among the righteous or you would have understanding.

Interesting that just because you can't answer what god's glory looks like I can't be "morally right or justifiable; virtuous."

right·eous
/ˈrīCHəs/
adjective: righteous
1. (of a person or conduct) morally right or justifiable; virtuous.

Have a good day.

Jesus was referring to what God would accomplish, through him. When we believe, we see with our understanding eyes all that Jesus has done for the glory of his Father. (John 8:50,54; Phil.2:11)

No. You fail to believe because you think like man not like God.

Since you do not believe you cannot see.

“He who believes in me shall do the works I do…”

Do the works and believe.

Let's see. In answer to my question "What does it look like?" (post #2) you said:

"It is a mystery to the wicked but joy to the righteous." (p. #3)

Your second reply was: "I see your not among the righteous or you would have understanding." (p. #5)

Now your third reply is "I answered you but you failed to see the description." (p. #8)

So which of your two replies (p. #3 or p. #5) answers my question "What does it look like?" AND, what description did I fail to see?
