Bible Question:
The question was: "Will you change your mind (now that you see what the word of God says)?" Note: You will have to go up the string to see what the conversation was before you came in. The answer was: IF ANYONE IS TO LEARN THE TRUTH, THEN WE REQUIRED TO ADMIT THAT WE ARE WRONG IF SHOWED BY GOD IN SCRIPTURE. BUT DON'T ECPECT THAT TO HAPPEN IN AMERICAN CHURCHES. The follow-up question was: Is that how you feel about it? Translation: Is it a waste of time to try to get American churches to change? Now: Do you have an opinion on that? |
Bible Answer: NO IT IS NOT A WAIST OF TIME. JUST "STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED TO GOD" AND OBEY HIM. GOD IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN CHANGE A PERSON. I SAID WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE AMERICAN CHURCHES BECAUSE THEIR IS SO MANY WIMS OF DOCTRINE. AND ALSO SO MUCH PRIDE IN PEOPLES OWN SELVS THAT IT IS HARD FOR MOST PEOPLE TO ADMIT THAT WHAT THEY BELIEVE ON CERTIN SUBJECTS IS WRONG. AS FOR YOUR QUESTION. DON'T WORRY ABOUT CORECTING PEOPLE. GOD DOES THAT. IT'S JUST SOME REFUSE TO LISTEN. IF THEY WONT LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, THEN THEY WONT LISTEN TO A PERSON. |
