[SIZE=10pt]Can cry babies handle preparation by John the Baptist?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Matt.3[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][7] When John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]he said to them:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]O generation of vipers,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who has warned you to flee from the wrath (of GOD) to come (in 70 A.D.)?
[8
] Bring forth therefore fruits (deeds) fit for repentance (from evil)
[9[/SIZE]] and think not to say within yourselves:
[SIZE=10pt]We have Abraham to our father:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for I say unto you,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that GOD is able to raise up children unto Abraham of these stones
[10
] and also now the axe is laid to the root of the trees (the High Ruling Ones)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Therefore every tree (High one),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who does not bring forth good fruit (good deeds to others) is hewn down[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and cast into the fire.[/SIZE]

Would cry babies complain about Jesus, the beloved Son of the Highest?
[SIZE=10pt]Matt.23[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][24] You blind guides,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who strain at a gnat (trivial thing), and swallow a camel.
[25
] Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you are hypocrites![/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter (deceiving appearance)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but within they are full of extortion and excess.
[26
] You blind (Israelite or Gentile) Pharisee,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]cleanse first that (character), which is within the cup and platter,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that the outside of them may be clean also.
[27
] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites![/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for you are like white painted sepulchers, that indeed appear beautiful outside,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but inside are full of dead men's bones and full of all uncleanness.
[28
] Even so you also appear righteous to men (to human),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
[29
] Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites![/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]because you build the tombs of the Prophets and you garnish the sepulchers of the righteous (men),
[30
] and you say:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]If we had lived in the days of our fathers, (the False Prophets and the Prophet killers)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]we would not have been accomplice with them in the blood/ killing of the Prophets (like Isaiah)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]A Christian is strengthened by GOD…[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]RESPONSES:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]1Tim.4[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][20] Rebuke, those who sin (by breaking the Doctrine of faith in BOTH and love and good deeds),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]before everyone (of the brothers),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]so that the other brothers may also fear (become cautious, and mature like Christ).
[21
] I (Paul, the Holy Apostle, solemnly) charge you (Timothy),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]in front of GOD and the LORD Jesus Christ (our Head),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and the elect angels (saved ones),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that you observe these instructions >> without preferring one before another,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]doing nothing >> by partiality.
[22
] Lay hands suddenly on no man.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Do not be a partaker of (accomplice to) other men's sins:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Keep yourself pure (from hatred and evil deeds).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Can crybabies, who do not baptize correctly, endure the test of Faith[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]1Pet.4[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][12] Beloved, do not think that it was not predicted,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]about the fiery (intense), trial (from GOD, of your faith)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that is to test your faith, as though some strange (unanticipated) thing happened to you.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Zech.13[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][8] It shall come to pass, in all the land (of Judaea), saith the LORD (the Father),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that two parts, (2/3 of the Israelites) in there,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]shall be cut off (from GOD’s people), and shall die;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but the third (1/3) shall be left there (the Christians).
[9
] And I will bring the third part (the Christians) through the (INTENSE) fire,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and I will refine them like silver is refined,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and will test them like gold is tried.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]They (Apostles and converts = the Christians) shall call on my name[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and I (the Father) will hear them:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]I will say:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]They are my people:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and they shall say: The LORD (the Highest) is my GOD.[/SIZE]
