To all of the so-called Christians from a Christian:

When you learn how to actually start to FEEL something for another human being other than dispensing your personal agenda and spewing out your demands and absurd church dogmas "I mean TODAY" or calling them "FOOLS" or other hateful and disrespectful barrages of verbal abuse THEN perhaps you might win some victory for the cause of Christ.

Is it no wonder why non-believers recoil in mockery and hastily retreat when unwillingly assaulted by you ill indoctrinated victims of your own bastions of faith (The churches)
You are zealots who attempt to convert by force and fear (words) rather than by example (Love)

At this point in your spiritual walk all you do is bring shame and dishonor to the God whom you claim to love so much!

I will keep you in my heart that you TRULY turn to Christ and become saved.

"By their fruits you shall know them" --Mt. 7:20

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." --Gal. 5:22-23

Most Christians display very little, if any, evidence of possessing these fruits!

"...Therefore every tree that does not produce good fruits is cut down and thrown into the fire." --Mt. 3:10b

"He who abides in Me and I in him bears much fruit..."
--Jn. 15:5

"If any branch does not abide in Me (produce the Fruits of the Spirit) he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned." --Jn. 15:6

Again, I say examine yourself as the truth of the matter is that you display very little, if any, evidence of possessing any of these fruits!

As a follower of Christ I would suggest that you start LIVING the truth instead of preaching about it.

Let you LIFE be your message, NOT your words.

You PROVE the measure of your love for God based upon the amount of unconditional love (not condemnation) you show to others.

ALL OTHERS !!!

Better to start emanating Christ rather than trying to imitate Him.

By their fruits you shall know them...not their talk, doctrine or denomination but by their WORKS they shall prove that they are Mine.
-- Matt. 7:20 -- Jas. 2:26

Divine Love shone towards others trumps ALL your silly debating about systematic theology and church doctrine!!!
-- Matt. 22:37-40 -- Matt. 25:31-46 -- 1 Cor. 13:1-7 --1Cor. 13:13

Time to grow up !!!
Let you life be your message!

Many more people will be drawn to your message by the way that you live and love them and others...NOT BY POUNDING YOUR "HELL" INTO THEM !!!!

START LIVING LIKE CHRIST BY SHOWING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TOWARDS OTHERS NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE AND STOP YAPPING ABOUT YOUR SO-CALLED FAITH !!!

"The mockers and scoffers will get theirs. It will be eternal punishment despite the recent and increasing popularity to twist scripture into something else.

2Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."

True Love of God and others trumps "doctrine".

And even though sound doctrine is important ANYBODY who claims to have a complete ALL KNOWING, ALL UNDERSTANDING monopoly on ALL doctrine is a fool.

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" Rom. 1:22

And anybody who can't wait, and actually looks forward with glee to see people writhe and burn eternally has no part in the Kingdom of God.

Even your on site ID "Armageddon Thru To You" is so telling of your evil and hateful self righteousness and disdain and hate for ALL others who do not submit to YOUR way of interpreting "doctrine".

Christ Himself explained that Love of God and others TRUMPS everything else as those two things alone fulfill ALL of the Law and doctrine. Mt.22:26-40

You are absolutely NO DIFFERENT than the Pharisees of Jesus' day and had you been a jewish as committed to the law as you are to your church doctrine rather than to the love of Christ and the unsaved you would have crucified Christ yourself with joyful pleasure!

GOD HELP YOU !!!

Wake up.
Our job isn't to "love" people. Our job as CHRISTIANS is to share the Word of God so that people who hear about it can receive the good news of what Jesus Christ did and be saved by Him.

This IS the work of Love in the first place.

Keep relaxing the way you do and you will soon reap the consequence of being lukewarm.

Didn't Jesus Himself say He would spit you out of His mouth?

In Jesus Christ.

OUR JOB ISN'T TO LOVE PEOPLE????

WHAT BIBLE ARE YOU READING???

I will keep you in my heart that you TRULY turn to Christ and become saved.

"By their fruits you shall know them" --Mt. 7:20

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." --Gal. 5:22-23

You display very little, if any, evidence of possessing these fruits!

It is NOT my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who I disbelieve...but as the self-righteous Pharisees who thought that they too could do no wrong, and understood the law fully, as Christ did "correct" them so do I in all good conscience of the Holy Spirit attempt to speak sternly and with fortitude to you that as I do not know all things AND NEITHER DO YOU. And to smugly sit in your palace of arrogance and complacency believing that you are correct in ALL THINGS pertaining to The Word, Christ, God and His Holy Spirit so do I (as did Christ) warn you quite sternly to examine your place in the Body with all humility, love and patience towards others who believe differently than you do!

To you Christs teachings deal more with the strict and legalistic adherence to YOUR interpretation of proper doctrine, systematic theology, exegetical theology, eschatology and binding legalities of Scriptural interpretation.

To me Christs MAIN teachings deal with love!!!

Yes...Divine Love.
I DO believe that it's all about Love, and for that I make no apologizes.

"...You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. And the second is like it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets" (emphasis mine)
--Mt. 22:37-40

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God: and EVERYONE(emphasis mine) who loves is born of God and knows God.He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."
--1 John 4:7-8

"If someone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar;..."
--1 John 4:20a

Regarding your so-called knowledge, interpretation and practice of Scripture according to the WORD that you claim to believe love STILL comes first...NOT DOCTRINE!

"And though I have the gift of prophecy, and I understand all mysteries and have all knowledge,(emphasis mine) and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but I have not love, it profits me nothing." (emphasis mine)
--1 Cor. 13:2

God judges the measure of our love for Him based upon how much love we show to others!

Paraphrased: "...Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. for I was hungry and you fed Me; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me."
-- Mt. 25:34-37

Paraphrased: "...Depart from Me, you cursed into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angles:
for I was hungry and you fed Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was naked and you did not clothe Me; I was sick and you did not visit Me; I was in prison and you did not come to Me..." "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous (My note: Those who by their works, not their knowledge of doctrine, scripture and church attendance, showed love and compassion) into eternal life."
--Mt. 25:34-46

I'll state it once last time:
Yes...Divine Love.

I DO believe that it's all about Love, and for that I make no apologizes.

You stick with your emphasis on fighting and debating your unalterable, unquestioning, legalistic approach to scripture, doctrine and systematic theology.
And I'll stick to my "effeminate Christian" ideals of Christ’s love...and on that Day we'll see what we shall see!
