Amen.
You not have never met Jesus, you have no wish to meet Him.
Your desire is to cut down and discourage any Christian you encounter. That is not His teaching.
I have never once seen you encourage or lift up anyone but you have always done your best to grind them in the dust. Where there are no stones to throw you invent them.
As you have done on this very thread.
I am sorry, you are the one following the pack of lies and distributing it out.
I can’t say it any other way.
I have said many good things about many people, but never a total worshiping encomium about any mortal. I am sorry if that is your idea of lifting up. God always corrects even as He boosts.
You lie. Every one that God receives as a son, He corrects.
Tell me the kind of sugar talk you want.
Attaboy Pastor! Tell um as hard as you can! Let um walk away into the world if they want! They deserved it!
In fact it sounds like you are accusing ME of what that pastor is actually doing.
And here we have another lie.
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
No correcting there as the servant has done well.
But your master on the other hand always tears down and twists what is true until it is false.
THIS IS WHEN HE ARRIVES IN HEAVEN.
Has that happened yet?
Premature boasting of this is one of the lousiest pretenses of the “holiness” movements!
Salvation is a promise. It is not an encomium to those still earthly.
I am sure your master is pleased that you have fought so hard against the condemnation of sin.
What sugar talk do I want?
You are panning me with the bitterest opprobrium. Consider it a compliment in context that I even give you any attention at this point.
I have fought hard against bad theology and self-centeredness being mustered to that purpose.
There is no indication that he is in heaven.
And the idea that there is no reward on this earth is another lie of your father.
But I understand your hatred of holiness.
Your master despises it and does everything he can to destroy it.
You do not fight against “bad theology” or “self-centeredness” you fight against anyone who tries to point out the evil in the world and that Christ is the answer to that evil.
I have given you truth. You seem unable to deal with it.
It is and it’s a shame. Actually more than just a shame because Romans 1: 20 For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing: 21 Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark. 22 Seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish, 23 And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth. 24 For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another: 25 Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it. 26 For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural: 27 And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing. 28 And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right; 29 Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others; 30 Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother, 31 Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy: 32 Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do them.
My Dad is a retired AOG pastor who preached the WORD without apology but there are now people in my own family who don’t call sin, Sin because of a sister i law or friend that is LGBT and in doing so they “give approval to those who do them!” God help us and our families to Love people to Jesus but in doing so not to be caught in the web of sin ourselves even by our approval!
