Im wondering why the believers are conversing in this thread with the dead.
Do you believers not believe what HE said? HE said to shake their dust of your feet, didn't HE? Like in ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
Didnt HE say to not give pearls to swine. Are they not your enemy who would turn on you and kill you?
They are those of the flesh you consort with who long ago took your forebearers and burned them at the stake along the way and to light the way from their high places to the Coliseum, where their forefathers fed yours to the lions.
Why attend their jolly party of folly? Why wallow with pigs in the mud?
They arent too blind to see the state of their country and govt after they got HIM kicked out of school and government, yet there are those of you who think you will open their eyes.
You believers think you can make satan give his winnings up?
They know the word and the Good News, yet they reject it.
Convers with your own kind on your own thread.
HE has left those you argue with behind. If HE is your Master and you are HIS flock, follow HIM.
My take is that before God gave me the gift of faith I was also full of doubt and questions. The whole Bible is the story of God’s chasing down a people who, due to nothing in and of themselves, He loved.
How can I view people any other way?
Fact is I’ve met and shared friendships with some non-believers who had much greater depth of character than some believers I’ve known.
If God saw fit to sacrifice His Son to make communion with a lost race possible, what does it say if I choose to do otherwise?
Maybe HE saw fit to sacrifice HIS son to save those who accepted with faith the Good News of HIS saving grace.
Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the left.
A Nation which leaves God behind is soon left behind.
"The Lord never asked anyone to be a tax collector, lowyer, or Redskins fan".
