And that is because a lot of you on here have been really judgmental with me and pushy. I've run into people like this in real life and it's caused me to backslide and turn into somebody that I don't really like. I am really afraid of being turned of Christianity again because I honestly don't want that to happen, but when you constantly have people judging you that have absolutely no business judging you in the first place you tend to want to run away.
Currently watching this video to remind me to not let anybody come in-between me and Jesus.
Hi-
Scripture speaks of unbelievers, the unsure, the good, the Wicked, the Evil, followers, believers, those who only believe in God, those who believe in the Lord God Almighty, those who are forgiven, those who keep asking OVER and OVER for forgiveness they have already received, those who have become Converted...etc.
In Brief- All Scripture is True.
Every single person is described in Scripture.
Every single person can read in Scripture, and discover what APPLIES to them...
And, IF they like that Application, or not.
And, IF they Like that Application...okay.
And, IF that don't Like that Application...
There is Instruction on HOW TO CHANGE, what Applies TO THEM.
The path we "choose", is a Journey.
The "Journey", is the "options" we learn along the way, that WE choose, to "make Apply to us...or Not".
Point being friend- IS... the path, the options,
"YOU" choose IS about "YOU".
•The "words" another "says" to "stray" YOU from "a Scripturally Good option/Application";
Should be "examined closely".
•IF, you have Heartfully Chosen, "CONVERSION IN Christ"... Nothing whatsoever, another says in "judgement" about you, can "CHANGE", the Application. "That you ARE Converted IN Christ; (have a Restored soul and have a Born Again spirit).
And THAT ^ IS your Reasonable Service unto The Lord God.
Rom 12:
[
1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service.
There certainly are "other services" an individual "can do".
And any addition "services" (Works) an individual "does" is "recorded/accounted in Heavens books"...and the "rewards"/acknowledgement, are "given an individual".... when "the Son of man" returns to Earth.
Matt 16:
[
27] For the
Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall
reward every man according to his works.
Rev 22:
[
12] And, behold, I come quickly; and my
reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Men tend to "judge" harshly, and the response is "hurt" feelings, and then "can" set that man on a "questioning of his own Beliefs"...
DECIDE your own "Conviction/CONVERSION" path "IN" Christ...and remember, once Converted...that IS your Reasonable Service;
Done Deal...no one, no man, no words, can CHANGE THAT.
Remember- Thereafter every Individual...can choose To DO as they Please...(and all men do).
And NOT all of our choices..."are" glorifying to Works unto God.
More specifically- "listening to rap music, cussing, accompanied with seeing naked flesh flaunting"...definately, is not a glorifying (Service) unto to God...(which I am guessing) may have lead to this thread.
Point being- Even those rejecting your LIKE of particular videos....they also have a "Things", they LIKE and do...that does not "Glorify God".
Gossiping, watching football for hours on end, cheating spouses, giving children freedom to raise themselves by World influences, making Governments their highest Authority, volunteering for genetically modifying their bodily DNA, penning animals then starving them, teaching lies as truths, on and on...
• Everyone has their own Actions/Works , that does NOT Glorify God.
NOT one iota of "those" things...CAN "change" (undo); a man's Conversion IN Christ.
•The Point being...Works we do that Glorifies God...are Rewarded, by God.
•The Works we do...that do not Glorify God...
shall be burned, by God
... Billions of "Works" shall be "burned"...
Buildings, Extorted gains, corrupt cities, fields with stolen animals grazing, sorrow from feeling from being cheated, Lie to...burned/ gone.
•That which is Rewarded, is Reasonable Service...and Every Work that Glorifies God.
1 Cor 3:
[
15] If any man's work shall be
burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
So... please don't take Criticism of others upon yourself, and carry that baggage around.
You know your Choices, your standing, your conversion, your Works that Glorify God, or shall be burned...
And everyone else is in the Same boat.
Don't let Anyone steal your joy.
God has the Converted "covered".
God Bless,
Taken
