Turd Furguson said:What happened to each person having their own PERSONAL relationship with God? Why must you put yours out in the open and then try to convert us all?
Each person does have their own personal relationship with God. Whether it is non-existant or not, each person has their own relationship. I put mine out in the open because God should be at the forefront of everyones life
A) Because He deserves it
B) Because that is what is commanded by Him
as far as spreading the gospel, that again, is fulfilling Gods wishes
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Jesus said the only way to the Father is through the Son. The only way to Heaven is acceptance of ************. A Christian could not talk about this so as to not offend, and stand by idly as millions are seperated from God for eternity. Or we could sacrifice our own place on the "social ladder", risk the scorn of others, and spread the good news of Gods plan for your salvation.
Those who are offended by my attempts to tell others of how ,through Gods love, one can have eternity in Heaven, are really making a choice to be offended when, if not interested, they could just ignore me.
But if there are people whose lives can be changed, whose eternity's can be saved, who souls can be joined with God, than that is far more important than "lookin good" on earth.
If a house is burning, and there is a way out, and I dont tell you about it, what does that make me?
Im noticing the same people keep clicking on, reading, and then objecting. What makes you keep clicking on? Im glad you do.
But it brings to mind the old saying "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
keep asking the questions, these are important questions, but try to be open when you do. leave the ego behind. think beyond this life that could end tomorrow. Do you really not care what happens to you after you go?
