She “knosw” Him from post card pictures.
Oh I don’t know, there might be pictures of him in her big Bible at home. You never know, some do look at the pictures.
Is saynsumthin blog going to hire her Mother?
She meant Heyzeus
Judas knew Him, Pontius Pilate knew him.
BIG difference between knowing Him and accepting His free gift.
I’m surprised more people don’t acknowledge that Scripture (Mat 22). I don’t even hear it from the pulpits.
Think about it. Even the devil ‘knows Jesus’, does he not? Not many even know Scripture than the devil.
Therefore it’s not knowing Jesus that is key, it’s ‘Does Jesus know YOU?’. And by taking up His cross and following Him is how Jesus will know you. This is my opinion - as I stated: I hear this from nobody, even the Priests for some reason.
The enemy knows Jesus. So what?
I guess that family doesn’t know the difference between an acquaintance and a friend (and Saviour). satan ‘knows’ Jesus, too, perhaps like the mother does...
I don’t believe the famous old hymn says, ‘What an acquaintance we have in Jesus...’
I’ve probably told this story before, but I was once in a conversation with my former pastor about late term abortionist \ ELCA usher. I mentioned there was something wrong that he was comfortable going to church and that the church was comfortable with him going there. Unfortunately, I just broke the greatest sin...judging.
My pastor told me “abortion is a bad sin, but so is lusting” (I wondered if he saw me checking out the hot babe that just entered the restaurant).
That made start to wonder if the belief that all sins are equal is another form of moral relativism and this belief leads to an abortion culture or a holocaust culture like that in Germany.
Abby Johnson, who used to work for Planned Parenthood now has a program set up to help current workers escape from abortion clinics. Abby knows why they stay and that is because the money is good and they are desperate. If this woman’s Ma was to contact Abby’s organization they would help her.
Is judging a sin? Did Jesus not judge? Did the prophets not judge? Did the Disciples not judge? Does God not judge? Righteous judging is not a sin. Unrighteous judging is a sin.
"Judge not, lest ye be judged" does NOT say don't judge! But if you do judge, do so judiciously.
Judge actions not hearts. Love the sinner hate the sin. Sin is ALWAYS a choice, usually a behavior.
"His mercies, how tender, how firm to the end:
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend."
- Robert Grant
Instead of being catty (which is really easy to do with a long string of seeming moral justifications, if we think this is about something other than the Lord) I am going to pray that this quickly turns serious. A bruised reed He will not break, nor a smoldering wick will He put out, until He leads justice to victory.
And fled Him
The question is not do you know Him but do you follow Him.
Satan is well aware of Jesus.
