Repent or Perish Luke 13:1-5

yep I’m pretty old so I’ve hear just about every dab nagged saying there is , I remember when “sufferin’ succotash “ was a saying lol

what’s your point ? We shouldn’t have good intentions or we’re headed for hell ?

The gospel is directly aimed at your heart rather than your intellect. A difficult truth to accept. I have never been fond of this.

God is love!

And that is the shortest and most powerful three words in the scripture.

Love is a gift of the Holy Spirit and is poured directly into our hearts.

All the apostles teaching was given to enable you to express a perfect, fervent, love towards the brethren.

Make no mistake, we were destined to be conformed to the image of Christ. That image is perfect and eternal love.

Once again, this is not easy to accept and you should struggle with this revelation.

Interesting and my KJV search shows the passages. But Spurgeons sermon which this thread addresses does not come in to play with those passages. You may want to start a thread on your dismissal of those passages.

I have difficulty recalling scriptures and many things people mention about the Bible still can confuse me

The OP contained another sentence below which I was responding to.

So what?

So the OP is not strictly about Spurgeon.

Seems that most people on this chat have a protestant background. I grew up Catholic.

So what!

From a poll I observed in this forum, most people are Protestant and OSAS.

So I can reply to the OP without even mentioning Spurgeon.

Whether you were raised Catholic or in some division of the Protestant bandwidth. The onus is on you to understand the text itself.

Stanley only repeated what Christ tells us. If we have faith in Christ, we have faith in what he tells us.

Scripture of Christ says we will perish if we don't repent. If other words, we cannot want to sin and be forgiven of the sin we want to keep. We must be forgiven in order to live.

I guess so. I hope you feel better soon.

I will try to give you more love...

I love you, Tim.

I feel better already!

Will you be wearing the appropriate clothing on that day?

By the way. What is a 'sufferin succotash'?

Corn and Lima Beans.

Your awareness is very minimal. Catholics may read the Bible today but not when I grew up. First NT I saw at age 16 in jail and used it to roll tobacco to smoke. So my first Bible went up in smoke and I was introduced to Christianity at age 19 in a 'cult' which emphasized there prophecy as the important factor of the KJV which I had a copy of and ended up burning it so my second Bible also went up in smoke and then in 2018 at age 65 I started pursuing the 'truth' so now I find people like you that have complete and perfect understanding to show me precisely how you know everything.
