If I remember right

Jesus went to them
he Loved them
He served them
He became a light to them
And many repented, and came to him

judging them will never save or help them
He told them if they do not repent they will perish.

You need to read the rest of the story.

I guess I am a twinkie... because your answer made me cringe... However and sadly... I think this truly will be the most popular approach.

Have a lovely day yourself @Truther.
You too my friend.

i can see it now....The Ep....pal church down the street this morning has a visitor that slips and says everyone must repent and the whole congregation hates him.

I read the rest of the story

we need to repent. Stopping sin never saved anyone
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

I agree

Unless you repent

Repent means to change your mind

in a manner of sin. It means you agree. a sin is a sin.. Now after you agree. it does not mean you unreprented if you comit that sin. It means you fell to temptation. You can not re-repent. because you agree it is sin

In this time, You confess it.. Not to be forgiven. but to be restored..

Yes, but the mediator has to mediate for us daily. It is not a one time shot.

Yep.

Thats why Grace and Christ is a better way. Because the shedding of bulls and goats continually could never take away sin. Jesus after offering his body once, sat down and forever our mediator

He has to mediate daily. Because sadly, We still sin daily. I know; thats hard for you to see. But it depends on what you think is sin. Which is where most people fail to grasp the situation

Seminarians have not figured out that the name of the son is Jesus.
The worst enemies of Bible Christianity are in fact seminarians. The seminaries have always been the hotbeds of unbelief and attacks on the Bible and the Gospel. They would sooner believe the Gnostic nonsense of the apocryphal "gospels" than the true Word of God.

How is it offensive?

To the "gay church" down the street from me that does not believe in repentance?

Where did they get that from in these modern days?

Free speech means.......... I think they got it from Christianity that evolved into "non-repentance doctrine of salvation" by a simple confession etc.
I believe that being reborn is forever.

What you call "OSAS".

OSAS teachers and Acts 2:38 skippers created "Gay" churches.

And this is what you have to say?
And you wonder how it offends?

Well, I've not created a "gay" church, now, have I?

Teach "OSAS", and that's equal to promoting homosexuality?

Much love!

This discussion never goes well in my opinion... and this topic is surely to draw the wrong people... but I will give it a shot...
I think a lot depends on how the topic is framed at the beginning.

Much love!

I give as I would a brother in Christ. I keep it at that level.. I do not know of their true spiritual condition.
This is what I do with anyone who identifies as Christian, no matter what I think otherwise. I accept them at face value, but I do try to make sure I've shared the gospel anyway, just in case, and I build them up in the faith as much as I can. If they are reborn, maybe I can help them grow, and if they are not, maybe they will realize that and come to Jesus.

Much love!

And yet the first words from John the Baptist, Christ, and Peter included the word "repent". And it is only after Nineveh repented that everyone was saved. Jesus said "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish".

There was a time when at least the evangelical component of the Anglican Church (from which the Episcopal Church is derived) preached the Gospel. That is no longer the case. Anglicans and Episcopalians have decided that they can change the Gospel.

He thinks this is not offensive, this is part of the problem

it’s the old pump my chest praising God I am not like the sinner routine, while at it, judging people unjustly and slanderously. I must wonder if he is just trying to get a response from us. Maybe he feeds on it

I agree that we sin daily in some way or another.

Paul admitted it in Romans 7.

Thank God for the Holy Ghost to give us the assistance to fight.

The end result of OSAS and Acts 2:38 skipping is "Gay", "saved" persons.

Amen, but almighty God cannot be changed by the reprobates.

It's God's way or the highway...to hell.
