Subject: How to "win the world" ? |
Bible Note: D Blesser: Your words from Post 110003: "All He (God) wants you to do is love one another...No man has the right to put down another for his beliefs." .... Baloney! Pure poppycock! The greatest commandment is not to love one another. It is to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." [Matthew 22:37] And Jesus said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." [John 14:15]. .... Which brings us to your second statement, i.e., that "no man has the right to put down another for his beliefs." Oh yes he does! Not only does the Christian have the right but he has the duty to put down (reprove) others for their unbiblical beliefs. Listen to what Paul said to Timothy: "I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, .... Preach the word: be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction, for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine..." [see 2 Timothy 4:1-4]. When it is thought and being taught that false teaching in a church should be condoned and that fellow Christians should not reprove and condemn it in no uncertain terms, the time when men will not endure sound doctrine has surely come for that church. --Hank |
