Subject: George, do you believe? |
Bible Note: I thank you for your gentle rebuke. However... Dear Brother, if you call this less than gentle, then you don't know harsh, for how can one be a believer if he does not believe in the word of Him whom he profess' belief. This is to call our Savior a liar and to fool ones self. I wonder how many who witnessed Christ speaking to the Scribes and Pharisees thought his statements less than gentle. "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites... Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But woe unto you, Pharisees! Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them." How many in this forum would come down heavy on another who used such language as this? I make no appologies for striving to live by, witness by, and boldly state the Word in its unleavened form. My prayer is that by His will, grace and guidance we should all strive to thus. Exhorting in Christ George |
