He did nothing
Christianity unwound itself in my eyes, the more I studied it.
The deeper I studied the Christian scriptures (even into the Greek), the more contradictions I found that I could not adequately resolve; logic and reason appealed to me, demonstrating the illogic and unreasonableness of an allegedly Almighty Deity delivering its message in such a fallible manner; I admitted that I could not prove to myself that anything in the Bible truly happened; its checkered history (like witch hunting) failed to inspire; etc.
Well then you never really knew Jesus. You would fall under the type of person who Jesus spoke of when he said.
21
o“Not everyone who
psays to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will
qenter the kingdom of heaven, butthe one who
rdoes the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22
sOn that day
tmany will sayto me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not
uprophesy in your name, and cast out demons
vin yourname, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23
tAnd then will I declare to them, ‘I
wnever knew you;
xdepart from me,
yyou workers of lawlessness.’
Build Your House on the Rock
24
z“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like
aa wiseman who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and thewinds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on therock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like
aafoolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
You have left the faith and fall under Gods judgement. You my friend are without excuse and have been deceived.
19And so, dear brothers and sisters,10:19 Greek brothers. we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. 20By his death,10:20 Greek Through his flesh. Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. 21And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, 22let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
23Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
26Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. 27There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. 28For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. 30For we know the one who said,
“I will take revenge.
I will pay them back.”10:30a Deut 32:35.
He also said,
“The Lord will judge his own people.”10:30b Deut 32:36.
31It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.10:32 Greek when you were first enlightened. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. 33Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. 34You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.
35So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
37“For in just a little while,
the Coming One will come and not delay.
38And my righteous ones will live by faith.10:38 Or my righteous ones will live by their faithfulness;Greek reads my righteous one will live by faith.
But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”10:37-38 Hab 2:3-4.
39But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.
I am sorry for you.
