***Crawl on your knees and bow to God.***

I do that at every Mass in worship of God as the Apostles and Church Fathers have instructed us.

***You have never shown a miniscule amount of understanding, love or charity to any of my friends here on Free Republic.***

Call it tough love. I give charity to those whom the Holy Spirit moves me.

***Repent and show your love for God and for his children.***

I do that at least once per week, and as often as the Spirit of God moves me.

***Repent and demonstrate that you are really a child of God.***

Ditto.

***Repent and turn from your evil ways.***

Ditto.

***Repent and be transformed or stay the way you are and spend eternity where no one wants to be.***

Ditto. Wait: I thought that you guys believed that if I am of the elect that I cannot avoid going to Heaven and if I am not, then I cannot go to Heaven. So what’s the big deal? It doesn’t matter what I do, does it, under Reformed theology? If I am not of the Reformed elect, then what does repentence get me?

***You are without excuse.***

Absolutely true. I must not reject God or else I will burn in hellfire forever. I must act as He instructs, or else I will burn in hellfire forever.

***We have given the gospel to you.***

Actually, we’ve given the Gospel to you. All of Scripture. How do you like it?

*** We have told you of the love of Jesus, we have cried and prayed for you, whether you believe it or not. Mark, we love you, as only a child of God can love.***

And I appreciate it, without reservation, as do I for any child of God.

***Please repent and be set free from your dungeon of hate.***

I wasn’t aware of a dungeon of hate, but repentence for us is an ongoing process, not a one time deal. We must continuous be aware of our sinfulness and repent for each and every sin.

Your church didn’t GIVE us the Bible. God did. He used your church to preserve it, PERHAPS, but the Bible doesn’t belong to your church. It belongs to the Body of Christ.
