1 | why lead us to stumble? | Gen 3:3 | imforgiven | 112060 | ||
Thank you so much for sharing from your heart and your walk, for helping me. Freedom is something I stopped questioning for years, yet here I am again. Our freedom in the U.S. is so overblown - our waywardness breaks my heart, how much more His? I rejoice that my sinful past is redeemed, that now I can help others in the path of the same sin. But why must they be tempted, why must the sin exist, why must the need for my ministry exist? It's madness. The tree seems to have been designed to cause us to stumble. Why would God do what we're warned not to (1 Cor 10:32)? | ||||||
2 | why lead us to stumble? | Gen 3:3 | Rowdy | 112091 | ||
I too am very worried about our nation. I've written several letters to our Government officials, attaching a copy of Romans, Chap 1 in which God warned those folks about the consequences of their continued sinful way of life. He warned them through Apostle Paul that they were headed for eternal damnation if they didn't change their ways. Many modern historians have noticed and documented the dangerous fact that our nation has been following the pattern of the Roman Empire. The disentegration of the family unit, corruption of our political leaders and now the introduction of homosexuals into our military is almost an exact duplication of that pattern. In my letters, I encouraged these Government officials to study history along with their Bibles and try to help this country re-discover its Godly roots. I'm so afraid if this pattern of getting farther and farther away from God's way of life that we find in His Word IS NOT reversed pretty soon, our children or our grandchildren might grow up in some alternate form of America than the one you and I love. We really don't live in a country that can truly call itself a christian nation. I really don't like sounding like a doomsday preacher but I do think we can reverse course and repent just like Ninevah in Jonah's story. What do you think of our chances? God bless. |

Rowdy In Ninevah's case it took a preacher that had been in the belly of a fish for 3 days to effect them. However if you read 1 and 2 Kings and the prophets you know the Israel had many men of God warn them if they didn't change things would go bad. They never heeded the warnings and eventually were driven from their land. If we read end time prophecy we don't see the USA and frankly this country as it stands today is to big to overlook therefore something had changed. I suspect the reason that there is no mention of the US in end time prophecy is something big happened that made the US no longer a factor in World politics. I suspect it will be most probably an social/governmental collapse of this nation that was brought on by continuing moral decline or economic mismanagement. Am I suggesting we accept defeat and stand by? No, but I'm saying don't expect to be listened to by many as you preach repentance. As we see in the Old Testament men that carried the call to get back to God were often ignored. EdB |

I'm afraid I have to agree with you. That's the trouble. I'm terribly fearful that my boys and their children won't be able to live in the wonderful christian nation that our fore fathers did. Yes, it would be wonderful to think that maybe America might turn back from the awfully sinful path we have recently begun, like that of Ninevah but I do think it would take a very powerful "significant emotional event" and that will probably costs us a very high price in lives and a rather humbled life for those who survive. God bless you my friend. I do enjoy reading your posts and consider you a very learned Bible student. |

Rowdy After 911 church attendance jumped by 20 to 30 percent but by the end of the year it was at or below levels of before 911. If America didn't wake up with that one I'm not sure it will wake up. Had God not intervened in 911 I suspect death tolls would have been much higher. Also the move to stop all air traffic which I also think was God ordained probably stopped other planes from taking off. Yet this nation is back to it's wicked ways marrying homosexuals and increased abortion. EdB |

413 furman rd Since there isn't a passage in the Bible that contains the words "wholehearted service" I'm not sure what your asking or how it pertains to this thread. EdB |

I think our Lord sums it pretty well as follows: Matt 22:34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." I might mention this account is reiterated in Mark 12 and again in Luke 10. It seems our Lord's words are very clear; I can't think of too much more to say. Do you have a response to them? God bless. |
