Bible Note: Greetings Leslie N, I am very sorry if I have insulted you in any way, that certainly wasn’t my intent, to say the least! There are many that use the forum that haven’t come to the place of a personal relationship with the living Lord. They exhibit many of the characteristics of a born again believer yet have never experienced the new berth, as it were. Many in this great country of ours, if they were ask if they are a Christian would say yes, just because they aren’t heathens, of which I was a part. When I finally came to the place of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior there was a total transformation in my life and this was after spending 27 years of my life at what I “assumed” to be a Christian. I had a real experience when the Lord revealed the truth of the Gospel to me in 1965 while reading the New Testament of the Bible. It’s not that it is any of my business what someone believes, it’s just that there are a lot of lost people out there that are going under the assumption that they are going to heaven due to something they have done and I don’t want them to fine out when it is to late. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; There once was a man that thought he was going to heaven because he put a roof on his church for free! Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. If you think I have been playing the part of a fool in asking the questions that I did I am sorry for the way I came across but I have a very large burden for the lost and I guess I am a fool for Christ sake. There has been commercial on TV these last few week that emphasis impossible task; the one with the impossible task lifts up a cover and there, sitting in front of everyone, is a big red button with the words EASY written on it; the easy button. It make it a lot easer if all one has to do is hit the EASY button. It just so happens that I found the EASY button to eternal life and I want others to fine it and see that the EASY button to eternal life is in God’s Son, Jesus Christ. If I ask the standard questions, that everyone has heard for centuries, they usually will just parrot something biblical that they have learned with out ever having actually experienced a living relationship with the Lord. Again, I am sorry if I have offended you in any way; I would rather loose in any discussion with a person then to see them lost in eternity! I am a nothing and a no body, Jesus is everything, John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. CDBJ |
