Nope. Not one. And my entire family are "christians," and they are pastors, elders, pastors wives, pastors daughters, preachers kids, and even missionaries. They're all corrupt and without a Pure Heart.

The holy spirit has shown you the truth very little find the narrow path. Will he find any faith on his return.

And it seems that you, too, have been shown the Holy Truth. Few are even frightened when they read of the Narrow Path . . . they don't understand the danger that they're in. But a part of me wonders how many the Lord will save just as they are about to die. Did they ever find the Narrow Path in this life? No, they didn't . . . but our Powerful God just might save many, many of them in those final moments of life, hence they never walked the Life of Christ. I hope that I am right!

But will He find many on earth? I don't think so, for this is Satan's world. It Truly, Truly is.

I'm happy to have discussed this with you following christ is important but if we show no love towards the things we do it means nothing.

If we do not possess a most Holy Love within us, it means that Satan is still our Father. And this is an Effectual Love, it is a Causal Love. This Love from the Holy Spirit causes His True Children to Love in a way that no human is capable of doing so upon his own accord; his own strength.

Have you ever met a "christian" that is capable of this?
Yes.
"The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment." 1 Corinthians 2:15. I've met a number of spiritual people. One man I knew well could read people like a book. Including me. It was hard at times, you can't hide from someone like that.

Nice to meet you and so glad you are joining the fellowship here at CC:) While there are many 'Christians' around who tend to forget the 2nd Commandment Jesus gave there are also many 'laborers' who go out to the ends of the world reaching those in distant and inconvenient places. Not trying to brag, but I can't go past a homeless person w/o helping them in some way. It is amazing how people tend to turn their noses up at them so I love to walk right up to them and say a prayer and offer something tangible.
Hope you enjoy your time here, God bless you and your family!

The homeless is an area of struggle for me. My city has a huge crystal meth problem. Many of the homeless here are aren’t just hungry. They gather and make “cities” in parks and allies. They go out breaking into cars and ripping off bikes and anything they get their hands on. A week ago our job site got hit. Three weeks ago I found one in my car. He kept saying, “I’m homeless, I’m homeless.” If my dog hadn’t started growling at the door, he would have made off with my wife’s ID that she needs to cross the border to go to work. Everyone said I should have kicked his butt and put my foot to his throat until the cops showed up. I made him empty his pockets. He managed to disappear into the park while I was trying to call the police. My screen made me lose night vision long enough to not see where he ran. The police still haven’t come to our house to get the loot he left. It ends up he made away with some cash but luckily I got the ID back. There are many that stand day after day with signs begging for money for food. I know people who have offered them work but they refuse. They just make enough money begging. It supplements their social assistance. Occasionally God tells me to help someone out but often He tells me to keep driving.
