In Or Out? by Joshthefirst(m): 8:56am On Oct 23, 2013 |
It might end up being a long write up. Just chill and read, aiming to learn, not to spite. Before we make myopic and false conclusions and world views, let us realize that our current world predicament has already been spoken of in the bible. Let's see what the bible said would happen in the last days. Cool down and read a little. E 2 Timothy 3(The message)1-5 Don't be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. THEY'LL MAKE A SHOW OF RELIGION, but behind the scenes they're ANIMALS. Stay clear of these people. 6-9 These are the kind of people who smooth-talk themselves into the homes of unstable and needy women and take advantage of them; women who, depressed by their sinfulness, take up with every new religious fad that calls itself "truth." They get exploited every time and never really learn. These men are like those old Egyptian frauds Jannes and Jambres, who challenged Moses. They were rejects from the faith, twisted in their thinking, defying truth itself. But nothing will come of these latest impostors. Everyone will see through them, just as people saw through that Egyptian hoax. Keep the Message Alive 10-13 You've been a good apprentice to me, a part of my teaching, my manner of life, direction, faith, steadiness, love, patience, troubles, sufferings—suffering along with me in all the grief I had to put up with in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. And you also well know that God rescued me! Anyone who wants to live all out for Christ is in for a lot of trouble; there's no getting around it. Unscrupulous con men will continue to exploit the faith. They're as deceived as the people they lead astray. As long as they are out there, things can only get worse. -Well, sin, and consequently, God, put all men under 2 groups, whether you're atheist, agnostic, religious, or just that woman who is always falling for one obviously heretical preacher or the other, whatever, whoever you are, you're either saved from sin or not. People have used the real christian faith as a religion to exploit others as the bible rightly foretold. That does not reduce the genuineness of the real message we preach.(Edit: or distort the integrity of the real people of God, people of love) Christ will soon come as a judge. You gotta get saved from sin, for he punishes iniquity, and you stand guilty. Jesus is the way your sins can be forgiven. Accept him today and be saved from that terrible menace, be delivered from the power of darkness and the dead-end of unholiness and lust. Its simple. If you shall believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord, you shall be saved from sin. Think... |

aManFromMars: Erm, what does it mean to be saved from sin?it means that all the sins that you've commited since you were born and are remitted and you're declared completely innocent before God and perfect in righteousness and unworthy of hell. It also means you've been saved from the power of darkness. You no longer need to be in bondage of continually commiting sin because of lust. You're saved. You're also saved from everything that sin brought upon the world, the curse, etc, the salvation culminating on the last day. It means you've become a citizen of heaven, a member of the family of God, able to know God. What a blessed thing it is to be saved. Did you read the write up? |

@ musk. The pilot is here with us, in us, warning people everyday. Confirming his word with signs thereof. But the pilot can never force grown men to wear their parachutes. God speaks through us. He warns of impending judgement. Its a matter of who you choose to believe. If God comes here in all his power, he will end sin and sinners forever. He comes to the world in a much more calm and a power filled way. He comes to you by the words of the guy that preaches the genuine message. The one who knocks on your door. The one who preaches online. You reject him everyday. |

Joshthefirst:I fear you do not realize the 'moral' implications of these. Consider. A young man who happens to be from a Christian family rapes a pious Muslim Girl. The girl dies and goes to hell. The boy gives his life to Christ and ends up in heaven. Joshthefirst: Yes, I did. |

Funny how god operates from the sidelines sending vague messages through incompetent humans. God should save himself from sin first before trying to save the people that created him. |

Joshthefirst: the irony. |

RationalDude: Funny how god operates from the sidelines sending vague messages through incompetent humans. God should save himself from sin first before trying to save the people that created him.what is vague and incompetent about us and themessage? How is us telling you that you are condemned to damnation in hell for eternity because of your sin vague? Am I missing something? You confirm the message I just wrote 2 timothy 3 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; |

aManFromMars: Ok, Josh, I dey go hell. Leave am for me, eh. Maybe you go send me water to quench my thirst.chai. You do not know what you're saying that's why you make that statement. The God of this world has blinded their eyes from the light of Gods word... But I won't leave you, I'll keep praying for you and I'll keep preaching to you. |

Joshthefirst: what is vague and incompetent about us and themessage?How exactly have I confirmed your message? Nothing in the verse quoted applies to me. Still it carries no real message, have men not always been like that? |

aManFromMars:almost left this out. Does it not bother you how heavily set you are against Gods perfect ways? When he forgives sin, you call it unjust. When he punishes sin, you call it unjust. Smh. |
Re: In Or Out? by Nobody: 10:26pm On Oct 23, 2013 |
Joshthefirst: almost left this out. Your perfect God had to abolish his firs laws. Under his first laws, you'd have been a well treated slave. The new law stipulates that the slave obey his master no matter what, for it is pleasing in His eyes. Remain a slave bro. Remain an adopted son of a foreign God. It is your life. |
