WesHBopp Then you would know that the letter was a lie.

assears In all seriousness Wes I would probably still have my doubts just as I have my doubt when I've been told of UFO sightings. Those people swore they saw a craft which was not an airplane

WesHBopp Do you REALLY think the writer of that letter would have told such a bald faced LIE if he could easily be exposed?

WesHBopp Sears, it's not just one or 2 or a few. it's FIVE HUNDRED eyewitneses.

WesHBopp Now, why not take until tomorrow to think that one over.

WesHBopp Aand then tell me what you think.

assears Wes people aren't as easy today as they were 2000 years ago

assears You've got to admit that

WesHBopp so you think it WAS "easy" to get 500 people to lie?

WesHBopp Sears, let's stop for now. And I would like you to think about those 500 overnight.

WesHBopp Aand tell me tomorrow.

assears Wes this story is much like the three girls at Fatima who saw Mary

WesHBopp Seaers, I want everyone I talk to since the year 1951 to learn "The Truth."

WesHBopp SEARS remeber it wasn't THREE.

assears Supposedly thousands of people saw the sun moving aroiund in the sky

WesHBopp (1 Corinthians 15:5, 6) . . .. 6 After that he appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time, most of whom are still with us, though some have fallen asleep in death.

WesHBopp stay with one miracle at a time.

assears Wes you're trying too hard

WesHBopp Yes. I try hard to get everyone I talk to to know "The Truth."

assears Just one tinsy whinsky bone Jesus is all I ask

WesHBopp And I've been doing it since AD 1951.

assears Wes I was going to a parochial school back in 1951

WesHBopp At 80 years of age, I'm very likely close to the end of my life.

assears Same here Wes. I've had a triple bypass

assears Have heart failture

WesHBopp Goodness.

WesHBopp I just want you to try and come up with a motive for 500 people to lie for Paul and his letter.

WesHBopp But, not until tomorrow.

assears Wes all I want is for your god to thro me a bone

WesHBopp Sears, if he was willing to do that, he woiuld have never said for us to "SEARCH" for him.

WesHBopp He wants people who are willing to make the EFFORT to learn and search.

WesHBopp (Isaiah 55:6) 6 Search for Jehovah while he may be found. Call to him while he is near.

WesHBopp Sears, it's a type of "sifting."

assears Wes my assignment for you for tomorrow is to have Jesus give me a reason to believe

WesHBopp Not gonna happen

WesHBopp the pharisees wanted the very SAME thing.

assears I know it won't

WesHBopp Look at what they said:

assears Been down this road several times in the last fifty years

WesHBopp sears, look at how your request is the very same request that the pharsieees made

WesHBopp (Matthew 12:38) 38 Then as an answer to him, some of the scribes and the Pharisees said: “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”

WesHBopp All they wanted too was 'A BONE."

WesHBopp So, did Jesus give them a bone?

assears Yes I'm sure they did Wes. They weren't moron's

WesHBopp (Matthew 12:39) 39 In reply he said to them: “A wicked and adulterous generation keeps on seeking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Joʹnah the prophet.

WesHBopp Jesus refused to give them a sign.

WesHBopp But, they could see the sign that the 500 saw.

assears There's one sign that Jesus supposedly gave

assears Blood Moons

WesHBopp no, the sign they were to be given was his resurrection.

assears I've watched at least three of those and even waited for the ground to rumble

WesHBopp Sears, if God was into doing that, he would never have said "SEARCH FOR JEHOVAH."

WesHBopp sears, look at the word "FIND" in this passage:

WesHBopp (Matthew 7:14) whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it.

assears I'll bet that if they were to see a NASA rocket launch they'd think it was the resurrection

assears Sorry Wes that I'm being such a tough customer but it's going to take more than words out of the bible. I'd be lying if I said different

WesHBopp If God were into giving signs or make the ground rumble, Jesus would neve have said "FINDING."

WesHBopp (Matthew 7:14) whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it.

WesHBopp BrB

assears Could be

assears Guess I'll have to learn the hard way

unitedvinylcompany wes why are few finding it

unitedvinylcompany do you have an opinion

unitedvinylcompany i guess my question has fallen on deaf ears

IM GOLDY hi room

IM GOLDY lum how r. brother

WesHBopp United, it seems to me that only a "few" find the truth, because only a few actually LOOK for it. It's just a bit too much effort for most people to bother with.

WesHBopp (2 timothy 2:15) it's that pesky words "Study" that gets 'em.

WesHBopp (2 Timothy 2:15) ...15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
