if believers are to be light and salt to an unbelieving world, why would a loving God remove us and leave people to fend for themselves? AND...take the Holy Spirit out of the world, which is what leads people to believe in Christ. None of us can believe in Him without the Holy Spirit.
All I can say is.....if you are troubled, get right with God now.....
...man knows not his time.....
I received the Holy Spirit when God brought salvation to me through Christ Jesus
I was dependent on Him seeking and saving me......
I have literally been in church all of my life........and baptized as a young child
....but didn’t understand Lordship with the Heavenly Father until I was 35
Why should God let me into His Kingdom?.....because I am His child, a sinner saved by Grace...
Redeemed.......Forgiven
.....and every day I am being sanctified, but won’t be fully sanctified till I reach Heaven......because I am a sinner, saved by Grace and like the Apostle Paul says.....
Romans 7:21-25
God loved me when I was unlovely, and unloving......He loved me FIRST!
Maybe I didn’t answer your question......I don’t have all the answers
I walk by faith.......
Because it's time for judgment.
It isn't like God hasn't given them enough opportunity as it is to repent and turn to Him.
There comes a time where God says *Enough*. The other option is that this world and what we are seeing now goes on forever.
Because he's a Just God...In the OT God left his own people to fend for themselves on numerous ocassions
AND...take the Holy Spirit out of the world, which is what leads people to believe in Christ. None of us can believe in Him without the Holy Spirit.
I did...The Eunuch did...
“ if believers are to be light and salt to an unbelieving world, why would a loving God remove us and leave people to fend for themselves? AND...take the Holy Spirit out of the world, which is what leads people to believe in Christ. None of us can believe in Him without the Holy Spirit.”
Because He will pour out His wrath and judgement on an unbelieving world.
Believers are already judged in Christ.
You might ask the same questions about a previous judgement...
“ ...why would a loving God close the door to the Ark with believing Noah and his family alone and inside, and let the world drown?”
Playing Devil’s Advocate. Why would there need to be the two witnesses and 144,000 if there are hundreds of millions of believers to witness during the tribulation?
