Who will God exalt. The unbeliever who loves or the believer who has no love.

I can see that this isn’t your first rodeo... you’ve obviously looked into these matters deeply, and from a position of reason. I’ve come to similar conclusions, although I believe that God and Satan are entirely different beings.

Jesus came to free us, but they weren’t all that successful at burying his teachings. They are there, if you really look for them. That this place is a loosh farm for the demonic is beyond question, but you can stop feeding them if you really get to know and understand Christ, and follow His teachings.

I think you’ve got most of this figured out, but this forum wouldn’t tolerate the discussion I’d very much like to have with you on these matters. Would you be offended if I prayed for you? I think you might be pleasantly surprised.

Let’s say the believer does give tithes. And does pray in Jesus name. And goes to church like they are supposed to do. However When the hungry comes to them, they do not feed. Maybe they pray to God, God help them or save them. But they don’t feed them. Or they see someone without shoes. And pray send them new shows. But give not their own shoes .


Now for the unbeliever

-does not pray in Jesus name. He has is own way of worship.
-maybe even cusses out God, calls him a tyrant and all kinds of vulgar language
-gives his money to charities for the poor and hungry
-when the hungry come to him, he feeds them.
-when the unbeliever sees a homeless man with no shoes, he takes his shoes off and gives them to him


Now who will God exalt ?

The one who gives lip service but is lukewarm , or the one who is cold as ice yet gives everything they can to the needy.

Suppose I refuse to “repent” of my so-called “evil deeds” (given the fact I don’t view myself as “sinful”), yet I care for my fellow man and give generously to those in need?

That’s a rhetorical question, by the way. No need to answer it, because I don’t need the approval of Jesus, nor do I require forgiveness by your god.

But I would love to see the look on christian faces if they see MY ass in their heaven.

Even the most loving person is nothing more than a barrel full of sin in God's eyes.

Only through faith in Jesus Christ can those sins be washed clean.

Human "love" is defined by humans, and many humans have different definitions of "love".

If you try to use human rationale to justify it, you're automatically wrong. The human mind can't comprehend God or holiness.

There is only one thing that manifests belief: action.

What you do demonstrates what you believe. That's all. Jesus (in frustration, I believe) said, "Look, if you must have a religion, here it is: care for the widows and the orphans."

Nothing more. How many Christians have you seen that have supported (financially, emotionally, physically in a family context) a single woman or an orphan? lol

Most Christians kick their daughters out of the home at 18... thereby making them widows by the biblical definition.

Hell will be filled with people that say, "Lord Lord!" but didn't do anything that Christ would have done.



lol

Oxymoron post.


The desert that's wet, or the ocean that's dry?

Who took your freedom ? How are you not free ?

What needs to happen to have your freedom back?

You say back. Was there a time you were here before . And you were free?

These are not sarcastic questions. I am asking because I want to know your opinion.

What about the believer who curses God for making him live through this stupid movie that he already knows the ending of?
Are we being punished for something we have no memory of? Is this just an exercise in pain so we know what it feels like? A little more information would be nice.

Simple....if you know your scripture.....The one who believes in Jesus....The only way to the father is through the son.

Yea agreed but I believe each will in the eternity when it is their time

At the day of judgment you will not be able to point at anyone other than yourself. At that point it becomes clear why.

In a house of mirrors reflections are awareness.

1 CORINTHIANS 13


1If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

8Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.

11When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

13Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Why do you all think that your scriptures haven't been altered?
