The most likely raeosn that they do not believe in the Bible. As a result they will not know that Jesus had never sinned in His life, making Him sinless. They also do not know that being sinless is only a characteristic of God. Therefore because Jesus never sinned and God cannot sin, Jesus is God.

God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM. this is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you. Exodus 3:14Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father John 14: in 9 And now Father, glorify me in your psecenre with the glory I had with you before the world began. John 17:5 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven the Son of Man. John 3:12-13son of man is a messianic title used in the old testament.In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.Through him all things were made; with out him nothing was made that has been made.John 1:1-3, read on for more..how the Word became flesh.Explaining the Trinity. a model i use to visualize the concept:Think of a prism, and God is the light that shines in it, the prism is the world, and when light shines through it, God can reveal parts of himself to us as in the holy spirit and Jesus, represented by the refracted light in colors. the colors are still a part of that light, the light hasnt changed, its just revealed differently to us.

Yes I do feel His love in God’s correction, tgouhh it’s hard sometimes. One day I was not happy with God, I felt that God was not with me, at my place of work business was not good at all, we had a lot of debts to pay, that was the time when someone wanted me to live my home and find somewhere else, Then I got bad news about my brother and how he was living his life, I had bills to pay and I was not yet paid at my place of work for 2months, I felt my life was in a box. I remember it was the time we were practicing hearing God’s voice. I went home closed my door and then started questioning God, telling Him scriptures He has not fulfilled in my life, asking HIM where He was, then I asked him what does it benefit me to follow Him. At the same time, asking Him to speak to me. I tgouhht God will tell me scriptures like Jeremiah 29:11 or I will hear Him wispier I love you but, I was in so humbled when I opened my Bible and there was Job 35 in front of me. I read it and I had no doubt that it was God speaking and correcting me. I felt His love because He was putting me back on the right path. I felt peace in my heart where by that kind of peace comes from God alone. Right now all that made me feel my life in a box, God has worked on them. Our debts at work are cleared, I was paid, I paid my bills and I put my brother in God’s hands and am still at home. All praises to God. Thank you and God Bless you.
