I think the hardest time for anyone to reflect the love of Christ is in times of trial and tribulation. It's human nature to be angry and resent people. Whats important is to remember the love the sinner and hate the sin. These hard times are the most important times to show love.

So, if I'm correct, and I like to think that I am, if he is judging someone..... I do believe that is a sin!!! Though shalt not judge! Uh oh..... Theory is getting a little shaky.

"I believe that it would be better for me if you would not pray for me." Why? If he's wrong, what's the worst that could happen............ Would you pray for him?

You guys just made my day!!! :lol:

I absolutely agree. There is no point, I feel, in saying you love Jesus unless you are willing to have ovedience in following Him. Its quid-pro-quo kind of deal. Jesus says that if you love him, you will follow him! Through this, you learn to love like Him and have the Love for humanity that He...

Yes, John. You post scripture. My contention is how YOU interpret the scripute. Surely out of all the faiths in this community we can not all be wrong other than yourself. Do you not find it even a little odd that even pastors on this forum dont agree with you? Those folks went to school for...

"Scripture shows us that some who have received the Holy Spirit, and knew they received him, because they walked in the gifts of the Holy Spirit; yet decided not live God’s commandments." ----- indicates free-will. Thats good. "The Holy Spirit will make sure a person does what God demands."...

This is why I feel it is just best to be prepared for His 2nd coming. We don't know the day or hour and it's better that way. Who knows what will trigger it. The Lord is the only one who knows and its just best to be ready at all times. It may or may not happen in our life time. Look at it from...

I have never read "The Hunger Games" nor do I intend to. I recommend "Battle-cry for a Nation". It came about 10 years ago. I have it in hard back and I started reading it again recently and it speaks directly to this topic. It is a great tool to show exactly what we can do as Christians to help...

Seriously??? I agree with you and I'm wrong??? John, Even though I disagree with you, as many of us do, I have still respected your opinion and John, I have even prayed for you. It seems to me you may something deeper you need to face and deal with. I simply do not understand where you are...

Here is how I know I'm on the right path and that the HS is working in me. When I was a teenager, I went to church multiple days a week. But that's all I did. I went to church. I didn't receive a message because outside of the church I was very sinful. I was 15-16 years old.... Had other things...

WOW!!!! That was refreshing!! Thank you very much for posting that. That was educational and inspirational. And it showed the common theme some of us have been trying to tell people... LOVE! Whenever I read the passages from Matthew or John, I really feel the loving and gentle being Jesus is. To...

"From what I have personally seen of the Christian Church almost all its members behave like ordinary people. Ordinary people still sin." True, some do. Some do in fact think that because they accepted Christ as their savior that it is a get out of jail card. Do you, John, have compassion for...

It actually says "faithful in Christ".

I am aware of spiritual death as well. I was commenting on your statement of God being more forigiving.... If He took the time to wipe out the earth, aside from the collateral damage, I doubt He let many of those who were on Earth into the Kingdom. What version of the Bible do you site as your...

Much more forgiving? The flood? The plagues? The old testement has ten times more the turmoil and punishment then the New Testament. That does not add up. I'm not a scholar, but I can compare.

I just listened to that one about 10 minutes ago!!! YAY!!!! It's a really good one. :D Here's what I'm listening to from her at the moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUh3Emy73ZA&index=6&list=RDLpCTnq0ob3k I woke up today with this song in my head. Haven't heard this song in a long time...

Unfortunately he didn't have a chance. It was instant.

John, the way you portray scripture does not always give me the picture of a perfect loving God. I don't understand where you get this from. You seem to say that there are no 2nd chances. Look at something as simple as Jonah. He ran from God. Literally tried to escape Him and hopped a boat...
