Re: Why dont yall spot Satans tricks to get you to fight?
If you have no real clue of what you have been criticizing for a year and half, perhaps it really is time you stopped criticizing it, and get about doing that which you say you just want to do. Praise Jesus if you actually do that, it would be a miracle!
I am so not offended.
I am not criticising people, I am saying they are in rebellion against the word of God.
Jesus says obey, walk in my commands, love one another as I have loved you.
Yes that is tough, had, difficult. But this is the point, God is wanting to say us, the lost
those affar off, who live in darkness and who tend to attack each other and want to win.
And I praise Jesus all the time, I just know there are so many internal conflicts in people
as soon as one starts talking about openness, honesty, confession, repentance, feeling sorrow
for the hurt one causes, loving others despite their failures and weaknesses all hell breaks loose.
There has to be some spiritual vested interest to oppose God this deeply, over these issues,
because this is the gospel clear and simple. I have shared this since I was 16 years old, and it
has become more real and deeper in me as I have grown older.
Among christians I expected celebration and agreement over these points.
As some do not agree, then for me they do not know Christ.
Evil-doers do evil, not some belief system or odd way of looking at the gospel, just evil.
And trying to turn me into a liar, evil, a slanderer, a reprobate is just laughable.
I just stand on simple understandings and walking in the light.
But somehow you will try and find something wrong with this. I am sure the enemy rejoices
in this destructive exercise but it only confirms where you are.
The 10 commandments are simple.
Love God
Honour His name
Do not have idols
Keep the sabbath
Honour ones parents
Do not murder
Do not steal
Do not commit adultery
Do not bear false witness
Do not covert
Some say we are not under these principles any more.
But Jesus says we fulfil them by loving people.
When we walk in the Spirit because our hearts desire righteousness and doing
the right things, it flows from us.
The real question is how does someone go from a statement of faith to mature
walking in Christs ways? That is sanctification and discipleship which many lack.
It is obvious to me those who have failed to walk this road excuse themselves by
claiming they did not need to walk it, they are loved by God just as much in their sin,
as they would be if they walked in maturity.
My answer is yes, as long as they are actually desiring maturity and will pay the price,
if not it is foolishness, and an empty faith. The pharisees said the were chosen yet
Jesus called their father as the father of lies. So you can have much religious and faith
knowledge and be doomed and lost, convinced you know everything.
The only distinguishing factor is love from the heart.
What makes me laugh, is I have used this argument now for years, and I am told I do not
know God or Gods love. So to those people I can just say God bless, I look forward to the
Lord meeting us both on that day, for my Lord overflows in truth and righteousness, and the
truth will be shown with a blinding light, so none will doubt were things really are.
I do not fear Him, because I know the work He has done in me, and I rejoice in who He is.
So I invite you to walk with Him, in repentance and faith and learn the way of love from
the heart. Amen.
