Some humble suggestions for you Duke |
Dear Duke;
You said the following to an atheist
"Too bad. one year closer to spending eternity with satan in hell."
This is not to say that I am perfect, but reading that statement above I cannot
detect any Christlikeness in it.
Duke we must remember what Jesus preached on the Sermon on the Mt.
[Mt 5:43] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your
enemy.’ [44] But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you, [45] that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun
to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the
unrighteous. [46] If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?
Are not even the tax collectors doing that? [47] And if you greet only your
brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
[48] Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Also what he preached to his disciples
[Jn 13:34] “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you,
so you must love one another. [35] By this all men will know that you are
my disciples, if you love one another.”
And we shall not forget what Paul said
[1Co 13:13] And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest
of these is love.
Duke the Atheists need Christ, and our goal is to love them. Believe me as
I have read many of their mean spirited posts about me. But Duke instead
of attacking God has told me I need to be silent with them.
The atheists are lost and on their way to Hell. They are not the enemies
that scripture warns about so we need to love them, and let the Holy Spirit
convict them of their sin ([Jn 16:8] When he comes, he will convict the world
of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:).
God bless you Duke and your ministry. I do however appreciate the approach
you take against the counterfeits. These are the enemies of the cross that
Jesus, Peter, Paul & Jude warn about.
John

Pot.kettle.black. You do the same thing with your comments to those
who don't share your belief in the Trinity even though when challenged
you can't find a single verse in the NT that says you must believe in
the Trinity to be saved.

JERRY
Hypocrite!
BJ
Duke the Atheists need Christ,
JERRY
Like they need a lobotomy.
BJ

JERRY
Nope, your goal is to homogenize them and make them like you so you
won't be afraid of them any longer. Because that's what it's all
about, isn't it?
BJ

I have read many of their mean spirited posts about me. But Duke instead

JERRY
You sure that's not common sense? Every time you decide to take on a
skeptic, that skeptic clocks you in debate and you are unable to refute
a single fact. It appears to me that you leave us alone because you
can't keep up your end of the debate, John.
BJ
The atheists are lost and on their way to Hell.
JERRY
If there was a hell. Since there is no hell and no Judgement Day and
the Second Coming was supposed to happen a long, long time ago, you are
wrong on all counts.
BJ
They are not the enemies
that scripture warns about so we need to love them, and let the Holy Spirit
convict them of their sin ([Jn 16:8] When he comes, he will convict the world
of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:).
JERRY
No, John. YOU are the enemy the scripture warns about, trying to set
up artificial claims of what is needed for someone to be saved. When
you can show me anything Jesus said that you have to believe in the
Trinity to be saved, you have a case. Otherwise, YOU are the spiritual
terrorist you accuse others of being.

Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and
is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
