A few days ago a member of the forum asserted that I’m here to convert people. The assertion is false but it has caused me to wonder if there are members - Christian and / or non-Christian - who post on Christianity Board with the intention of converting other members - or persons who are readers but not members of Christianity Board - to whatever their religious affiliation might be.
So, are you here to convert people?
Good question!
No, I personally am not here, or consider it my gift or calling, to "convert" anyone.
What I am here for is rather along the lines of my God-given gift and calling, which is to bring an end to what has falsely been sold as life and the lies that have even corrupted the Church, with the actual truth. What does that mean? It means that we are all born into a world that has a set of rules and would-be reality that are not actually of God, but of us--this is us being revealed during the times of our lives, most of which is according to this world and against the God who created it, which is soon coming to an end. These are the mysteries of life that have not been fully realized, because we have been preoccupied with ourselves and thereby blinded to the whole truth of what is true of life according to God. Which is to say: There is a train wreck up ahead, and everyone who is on the tracks of this world will want to know just how to avoid ending up in a heap or dead.
So...
God created the world as a form of birth, and yet death is coming.
Each generation has come to be revealing the heart of each person, out of darkness into the light of this world, whether good or evil, wherein a still small voice whispers the truth down through the ages; and if one is inclined to hear it, it is because their makeup is from God...if not, it is only from evil. Thus, some are the problem, and some are the solution. In other words, we who at heart are of God, hear and answer the voice and call of God, and testify of it, that others also might hear. In this way, those who have ears to hear have become the servants of God, some prophets, some teachers, some preachers, and many more giving testimony by a variety of gifts--gifts given to us by God through His Son who came to save those who heard and looked forward to His coming, or looked back at His coming and have believed.
Even so, to accommodate the multitude of all who are born throughout all of history, God's plan to rescue those who would hear and come to love Him, has been limited to a little truth here and a little truth there until all have come into the world. Along the way, however, the witnesses and testimonies of truth have been corrupted 1) intentionally, that the days should be prolonged until the children of these many generations could be born in their time, and 2) to confound those evil living among us. But for the sake of the children born to God, the lies were to eventually be revealed near the time of the end. Biblically, this refers to what Jesus promised of being "
lead unto all truth", the fulfillment of which was to be finished just prior to the "
sounding of the seventh angel." This is that time.
So...be prepared, and wise enough, to be corrected-- for many have learned what was false but sold as the truth. It's all part of the plan.
