"Gain repentance?" I thought repentance was an action, not a possession. And, where in Genesis do we find humans "spreading the good news of the kingdom?"
I don't understand what you're getting at here.
First of all, I wasn't asking you. I was asking "Greatest."
Second, your post is not helpful. We read scripture from our POV, because it was written from our POV. The Bible is not "from Jehovah." It's "from Tradition" -- human religious Tradition. We don't know how God thinks. But we do know how we think in relationship with God.
If God intervenes with satans plans for this world, its just going to keep going on and on like it is. God has let satans challenge to His authority play out, he has held back to an extent or let go of the reigns in a way to let satan make his case. The case that satan is saying to God, (paraphrasing here) look I reckon humans can do things better on their own, let them rules themselves. They will do what ever they can, even the righteous men, to turn againts you.
That is the challenge laid out to God by satan. We learn this from the scriptures themselves, not from man made tradition.
When you look at the challenge, satan has had to have time as i said earlier to prove his case, that we humans can rule ourselves. Well we can rule ourselves yes, but where has it lead us? It definately has not lead us to the paradise we are offered from our loving God Jehovah, instead, it has lead us up the garden path
Jeremiah 10:23
I well know, O Jehovah,
that to earthling man his way does not belong. It
does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step
Ecclesiasites 8:9
All this I have seen, and there was an applying of my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, [during]
the time that man has dominated man to his injury.
We see from the scriptures themselves, that it is not for man to rule themselves and that we have dominated each other to their injury.
Yes you have the chance to gain repentance in a way, you have to ask for it and then prove that you want repentance, it is there for the taking, you just have to live your life in harmony with it. Repentance is freely given, if you want it.
You see Abraham living a good life, and so too Noah and Isaac. You need to stop looking at the bible as i it were from man, because it is Inspired of God", therefore from God
The preach the good news of the kingdom, does not come into the scriptures until the new testament, but it what Christs followers are asked by him to do. It is a sign of the last days of this system, of when Jesus'presence in heaven is there, that it is spread throughout the land, so that people can actually learn what God thinks and who he is and what he stand for, by a proper study of the bible.
Now traditions. Jesus told us what he thought of the pharsees and their traditions. So if Jesus who is the perfect reflection of God didnt like their traditions, then maybe God doesnt like them either.
We can get to see what God thinks and who he is. Throw out your traditions and read the scriptures with a clear mind. Using traditions of men to read the scriptures make them as clear as mud.
To me, they are as clear as the lfe giving waters God and Jesus have promsied to give us in the new system o things.
