Bible Question:
Do you remember that "the tares must come up with the wheat"? And that Satan can appear "as an angel of light"? The enemy has sown his seed in amongst the church. It is no wonder that you see what you do, as I am sure many of us do. But we are to be "wise". What all do you "witness" on Sunday that makes you "wonder"? Do you REALLY feel you "can't see the witness for the Kingdom of God anywhere in the church"? Anywhere? Jesus said whatever we do to our brethren (feeding, clothing, visiting, etc.) we are doing to Him. Surely you must see SOME of this going on. What about evangelism? missions? Have you found any scripture yet for your contention that one can be saved but not born again? |
Bible Answer: "Have you found any scripture yet for your contention that one can be saved but not born again?" Study this awhile and see what it says to you: Mal 3. 15-17 But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evildoers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape. Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name. "They will be mine," says the LORD Almighty, "in the day when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, [JUST AS] in compassion a man spares his son who serves him.".....Rev.20.12 "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books". Do you think there might be a connection here, 4gvn? Ken |
