1Come, all you who are thirsty,

come to the waters;

and you without money,

come, buy, and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk

without money and without cost!


2Why spend money on that which is not bread,

and your labor on that which does not satisfy?

Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,

and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.

3Incline your ear and come to Me;

listen, so that your soul may live.

I will make with you an everlasting covenant—

My loving devotion promised to David.
a

4Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations,

a leader and commander of the peoples.

5Surely you will summon a nation you do not know,

and nations who do not know you will run to you.

For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel,

has bestowed glory on you.”

6Seek the LORD while He may be found;

call on Him while He is near.

7Let the wicked man forsake his own way

and the unrighteous man his own thoughts;

let him return to the LORD,

that He may have compassion,

and to our God,

for He will freely pardon.

8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways My ways,”

declares the LORD.

9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so My ways are higher than your ways

and My thoughts than your thoughts.

10For just as rain and snow fall from heaven

and do not return without watering the earth,

making it bud and sprout,

and providing seed to sow and food to eat,

11so My word that proceeds from My mouth

will not return to Me empty,

but it will accomplish what I please,

and it will prosper where I send it.


12You will indeed go out with joy

and be led forth in peace;

the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,

and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

13Instead of the thornbush, a cypressb will grow,

and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up;

they will make a name for the LORD,

an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”

All this is off topic at this point, and I'm personally finished throwing the topic out of the boundaries of the OP.

As a besides - Bible is speaking to the thirsty...not the general pop. No need to reply, we've both spoken our piece.

Arrrgh, you mispelled PEACE, or misused the term to mean what other's would say with 2 Cents, as "piece." Now I have to reply since I'm here replying to the abused peace, or I won't get any peace.

So in this case, the Title is "Should I Say Something" which is slightly different than the direct request inside the OP. The answer to his thread title, is that he should teach Gospel. The answer to his internal OP question is, so far, best answered by A Sword Cometh, I think.

I reiterate, not even close.
You're young, that much I can tell. I doubt you will remember this instance, but at least you've been given the instructions, and those you can remember, some day.

I misspelled nothing, I said exactly what I meant, as in, we have both given our detailed opinion on the off topic posts. (Our 2 cents). You don't have to appreciate my usage of terminology but I can assure you it was quite intentional.

On other forums, what I'm used to in threads asking advice, is that everyone shares an answer to the OP and no thread respondent can argue with another respondent about their advice.

That way, perfectly good answers - such as those written by people who have actually dealt with the situations presented or those similar - don't get buried in a flurry of nonsensical postings and argumentation about subject matter completely unrelated to the question, thereby allowing the OP creator the ability to read everyone's advice.

Although this forum isn't ran/moderated in like manner, I appreciate that system due to the fact people occasionally ask very serious questions that call for solid answers, and everyone answering from their own perspective allows for a wider range of views the OP creator can glean from, with no information lost by those who simply want to bury other people's answers..

What's wrong with using "piece" instead of "2 cents"?
In that instance the spelling and use of the term "piece" was correct.
Does someone using terms in ways other than you like or are used to really "get your goat"?
If that's so, then I wonder just how much peace you have.

You don't get to pick what's right or wrong, that's the thing about it. No matter what you do truth always remains, and there are always consequences for going against what is good and true. No lie is good, no matter how much anyone tries to justify it, it will grow like a seed and the fruit thereof shall be a curse.
Why do you keep on about sin? Do you think that everyone here is looking for reasons to sin or can't read the Bible for themselves? If so, you seriously misjudge God's people. Don't imagine that everyone is like you.

You become what you think about. Your obsession with sin and judgement is unhealthy.
Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.

You should try it some time.

Whatever is true.....

Hmm that's like exactly what I said in what you quoted.

So when Nazis knocked on the door you would’ve told them Jews were hiding in the house and revealed their hiding places.
Situation ethics is a minefield and pointless. "What is" is far more important than "what if".

All you quoted was fire and brimstone stuff. I've not read one positive statement from you. Perhaps I've missed a post.
No, I am saying what you quoted there of me and then cite the verse to think on what is true, for that is what I have said. No one can break the truth, whoever tries will eat the curses.

Edit: Though now that you mention it, I should warn of the fire and the brimstone, but those come after this earth and are eternal. Everyone that still lives in the kingdom of the lies goes to that lake of fire with their father the Devil forever and ever, in Jesus name, amen.

Do you imagine everyone here to be an unbeliever? Well, you are wrong. Satan is the accuser of the brethren. God is not pleased if you side with Satan. Satan used God's word to try and tempt Jesus in the wilderness. You also need to be sure that your life is right before God before sitting in judgement on others. You will be judged as you judge others. I hope you are perfect, otherwise you will bring judgement on your own head.

The Gospel of "This present time"? There isn't much to say, I think, other than "This present time" is so full of wickedness and turning away by choice, it can't last too much longer.
When what claims to be the church teaches of Sodom as a friend, what is there to be speaking of peace? Did God not understand what he did? Did that city get used as a warning for 5,000 years by mistake?

I appreciate what you share but disagree with situational ethics being pointless. It corners graceless, judgmental hypocrites, and how they react when they’re cornered is telling. When people are unnecessarily confrontational like that other buffoon in the BDF who was recently banned, they merely prove themselves to be tares among wheat.

You didn’t miss anything. He’s void of all understanding regarding God’s love and grace, and question who he really serves.

No I do not imagine such a thing.

Exactly, even though some may think it's a light thing to act like the serpent, don't do it I beseech thee, the serpent is cursed for being the father of lies. He is cursed for going behind the man's back to target the woman to cause separation in them, and to simp for her in order to seduce her to die and destroy the man also. All of his ways are wrong and will not result in saving any woman. If you do his ways, you be like him and you will share in his curses, but if you will not do like him, but do openly the truth, then you have nothing to fear, you will be acquit of their curses for their great errors rather than becoming enmeshed into them, and depending how bold you are, you may attain even a blessing.
