If you have Faith in the Messiah and Keep the Commandments of GOD then you are a Saint.
The Bible tells us so.
Howdy doody The question is now how long can you stay a saint ? that is the Question and i think that is a goal that can only be achieved with the help of God and the help of other saints.
Like if your only around saints who want this as much a you, then there is a Good chance your not going to be corrupted.
If your a round corruptible behavior with the children who are of the devil there is a good chance they will drag you to hell with them. (be on guard always and keep opinions to your self in a place like this that can not happen.
Now this is a problem because why should children of God be silent as to not speak. ? so lets look at silence from the lord.
Isaiah 53:7 this is prophesy about Jesus.
The Suffering Servant
4Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
5But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
6All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.
7He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth.
8By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
Ecclesiastes 3:7
[SUP]7 [/SUP] a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
Let's choose to watch our words that we may be counted as wise, and may be able to speak uplifting words to our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
I herd a quote the other day from someone. he said how do i tell people they will go to hell if they dont love Jesus. ?
(this is the problem yes ) nobody likes to be told they will go to hell.
And if one mentions it become like you or me are a judgmental person,
but how cross is God going to be if you did not try to save that sinners sole, i will show you.
James 5:19-20
[SUP]19 [/SUP]My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, [SUP]20 [/SUP]remember this: whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
so Let's choose to watch our words that we may be counted as wise, and may be able to speak uplifting words to our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
Let's choose to watch our words that we may be counted as wise, and may be able to speak uplifting words to our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. and not be a stumbling block it is not our job to tell strangers they will go to hell.
it is our job to be silent and guard ore hearts and speak in love, some people have the lord in them and they don't even know it there good people and they care for people but they begin realize that they do have the lord in them.
The people of lord have no problem talking about hell, the people not of the lord take it as insult so one must be careful,
because the lord say in the bible do not argue with newcomers beliefs it says not to get involved, and this is for two reasons 1 to protect you and number 2 to protect them also. ? i show look here.
Romans 15:7
Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
John 6:37
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
I will leave with this
1 John 3:15
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
