And you may think by now I am badgering you mercilessly to glorify myself... or maybe to stave off boredom...
NO I AM NOT...
I see you and God sees you as a wonderful RESOURCE...
DO YOU KNOW HOW POWERFUL SONG AND MUSIC IS...
Don’t let Satan nip your sails off with naysaying. The whole story of God here is a glorious “yes, BUT!” YES, there’s sin! BUT, I’m gracious beyond belief! I want to act if you will permit Me to! Get beyond your “Churchianity!” I will be your personal saving Christ!
When you say in your last sentence.."I will be your personal saving Christ". You did not use italicized notation, and it looks like you reference yourself. YOU are not my (nor anyones) saving Christ. I hope your comment was simply a grammar problem. I am going to cede that to you in hopes that your comment referenced the Virgin-born, Son of God, the one and only God-man. The perfect man, completely man, completely God, who lived the Mosaic law, who was delivered up ( willingly) to die for the sins of anyone who would accept his blood atonement. Who was scourged, beaten, crucified, and died.....and RESURRECTED, conquering death, hell, sin, the devil , and the grave. Who will come back to this world in rightous judgement. That Person is the Bible's revelation of Jesus of Nazareth who took away my sin.....certainly not you.
Churchianity??????? I won't dignify that inane comment with any retort except to say it sound like one of those shadows you are majoring on.
"Nip my sails"????????Another shadow you prescribe against.
"BUT! YES there's sin"????????Isn't that the entire reason Jesus came to redeem us from our sin....even that of the homosexual. Somehow these shadows seem to have some importance, that He would do that. He didn't come because we are so good. He came in spite of ourselves. Because HE is Love.
Now, let's agree to leave it here.
