John 9:41
Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
I follow my Shepherd's voice not yours. you can call me all sorts of names and tell me how unworthy I am, but I know what God tells me.
He calls me His child. He reigns in Heaven NOW Today. Not in some distant future.
He tells me that Satan is the Accuser of the Brethren and his minions do the same. They have been cast out of Heaven and do seek many to enslave and devour upon this Earth.
The story of Revelation tells of how JESUS defeats the Beast and the False prophet and tosses them in the eternal fire. However Satan is locked up.
No one ever talks about how Satan is then released and deceives the nations once more. No one asks what lies Gog and Magog tell to gather the nation to war again against God and His people...
no its just so much easier to lean upon their own understanding and puff them up with false confidence that they have the future all figured out. so much easier to listen to the soothsayers spin them a tale then to pray and ask God about TODAY.
Hebrews 3:12-14
New King James Version (NKJV)
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
i'm going back to ignoring unpleasant people who only display their bitterness and pettiness by flinging insults and doubt instead of doing as Jesus commanded which is too correct in love and patience.
I know where I stand in Christ. I am a child learning her Father's will and reading His word and fellowshipping with His children.
Personally I do not want to engage in a discussion with a person who can not hold an intelligent mature discussion about the topic without flinging insults in every other post.
It does not display the Fruits of the Spirit God has taught me to look for in His teachers.
James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
I recognize the fact there are many beliefs about what is meant from certain verses and much could be shared and learnt. sometimes we as Christians may not agree on small issues.
However respect and common courtesy should be shared common ground. otherwise I'm just more inclined to ignore your post and talk to people who are ,,,,,,,,,,,peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
If they think of me as worst then mud, then I ask they don't bother addressing me in the future.
