Jim, God is not a genie in a bottle that we can command to fix things that we wish.
If I am not mistaken, there is a church down in Louisiana that because of an abortion clinic having not be shut down,it has not shut down its worship services.
Your comment: “ John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. “
Your comment: “Cherry picking verses as you did with John 5:24 and then stringing them together with other verses, can make them say anything you want them to. Do have some integrity and post the WHOLE verse.”
So you must not understand the meaning of Christ’s truth and just dismiss the words of Christ that do not fully support your belief that “your faith”, as you define it, is sufficient for your final judgement and then make a phony attack that someone that posted parts of actual verses but not the verse that you chose.
The pharisees had faith, but didn’t practice their faith.
It did not change God’s truth, but expanded it “will hear his voice and come forth, those that have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgement.” 28-29
Perhaps one day you going to understand God’s Truth and not man’s version of God’s Word?
