I prayed for most of the night, and have this to tell you.
I prayed to God that He allow me to be present near Christ when you appear before Him on the day of Atonement. I want to be there, for when I see you approaching, I will turn to Christ and say: "That's him Lord, I ask You to remember what You prayed to the Father when You were on the Cross........Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. This is my prayer to you Lord, please forgive him, for he knew not what he was doing."
I sincerely hope He grants me this plea.
However, until that time comes, unless you admit your sin and ask forgiveness for slandering the millions of Members of the Church of God Reformation Movement, I will neither speak to you, or even recognize your very existence. Should God open your eyes and heart to understanding your sin against millions of His children, and you do ask for forgiveness, I will gladly forgive you, and praise God!
Through prayer, I have come to believe you do not actually know the gravity of the sin you committed against so very many of His children, and that is truly a sad thing. You are a Brother in Arms, and because of that, I have always bent over backwards to give you far more grace from me for the terrible things you say about people who disagree with your ideology. Far more than I would extend to any other here.
I have no idea if the Holy Spirit will move upon you or not, but I assure you this, even if God does not grant my request, on that day of Atonement, your words will be read to you, and you will answer for them. That is what frightens me, and why I pray that I am allowed to be there to ask Christ to forgive your words against His children.
Father Lord, this is my plea to You in the name of Jesus Christ..............
Sorry my friend but the more I think about the above the more shocking it is.
Its no wonder that people are put off church with this attitude amongst fellow believers.
You come accross (maybe you didn't mean to) like the Pharisees who prayed "I thank you God that I'm not like these sinners"
You ask him to admit his sin and ask for forgiveness for slandering the millions of other members of the Church of God reformation. Firstly you speak on behalf of those millions of members. How many of them have you asked whether they have been offended or not?
I don't agree with your position but I'm not offended by it and neither would I insist on an apology on behalf of the millions of believers who disagree with you and therefore do as you seem to do in the following sentence.
You obviously do not believe in unilateral forgiveness. You demand an apology before forgiving. Till then you will disassociate yourself.
I am so glad Jesus did not have that attitude on the cross.
Finally what I find the most shocking is that you actually prayed to God to allow you to be near him on the day of atonement so you can say "That's him Lord, I ask you to remember what you prayed to the Father when you were on the cross, forgive them for they know not what they do" to be allowed to ask Christ to forgive him of his words against his children.
First things first when you stand before God you will not get a chance to talk about anyone else.
You are going to stand before the bema seat of God, when you do you will not be looking or thinking about anyone else.
God is going to ask you what you have done and built on, he is not interested on what you have to say about others.
He will judge you though for judging others.
He will also look at your forgiveness of others.
Did you love your brother, feed the poor, visit the sick, visit them in jail?
Then when he says you are a genuine believer in my son your sins are forgiven you, welcome to eternity.
You will be running so fast into it that you all make Usain Bolt look like a snail.
Your plea to Jesus should be help us get along, even though we do not agree concerning an aspect of theology let's build each other up.
Doctrinal issues that are not against the fundamentals of salvation should not be used to prove one right and the other wrong leading to questioning of their salvation.
Agreeing to disagree is ok, but taking it to the step you have I feel is wrong.
