1 | RELIGION HOMEWORK HELP | Rom 12:2 | LimeJuice | 40278 | ||
You ask "why would the Holy Spirit dwell in an unclean place?" God loves us, and the Holy Spirit dwells in a clean place because of Jesus' blood and His mercy, not because of any works that we do. God works through empty vessels all the time, it is only when we are empty of our own selves that the Holy Spirit can fill us and the power of God can manifest itself through us. The times that I have truly experienced His Power are the times I have been most humbled. You write "the portrayal of Jesus in Jesus Christ Super Star should be stench in the nostrils of any genuine Christian" I listened to it with a heart that was open to the Holy Spirit, not a mind that was judgmental. I was a teenager, accepting the Lord into my heart. This is not stench, but it is beautiful, and if you cannot see it, I'm sorry, but it does not make my experiences any the less real, or any the less beautiful, and it does not negate the Holy Spirit's work through this play. Now, I am tired of defending myself, as it means little to me to be judged by you. Love and Weariness, Lime |

Lime Consider the Holy spirit does not dwell with us until we are washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb. Therefore we are clean vessels as long as we remain under the blood. Interesting story of your salvation, I too was saved by something that I would now call a stench. What Satan meant for destruction God used for salvation. However that does not change the fact that in both our cases the thing that brought us to salvation was meant to deceive rather than convict. A year after my salvation I went back to the book I was reading to reread what had lead me to the Lord. I was sure it would be a great visit. However when I read it not with the eyes of one lost but with the eyes opened by the Holy Spirit I now saw all the deceiving, lying, lousy doctrine the book contained. Lime believe me you don’t have to defend yourself from anyone, it is not you we have the problem with, we are talking about the movie/play Jesus Christ Super Star. The fact it lead you to the Lord is a blessing, however the play/movie was written to denigrate Jesus’ divinity. It tried to portray him as a very likeable wise man, who was filled with kindness, compassion and gentleness, but totally neglected to reveal Jesus as GOD. And that is the PROBLEM! EdB |

Ed, I thank you for the tone of your response and the love and respect you give me, even though you disagree with my opinion. I find that the most heartwarming thing I have run across in this whole dialogue. I still disagree that the play portrays Jesus in an unholy way. So we disagree, not a big deal to me. I appreciate your kindness more than you can imagine at this point. In Christ, In His Love, Lime |
