Hello James, did you know that James in The Bible was the half brother of Jesus? He even wrote one of the books. Maybe you should read it. Guess what the name is, surprise "James"
"2 Tim 2:23 But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels.
2 Tim 2:24 And the Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,
2 Tim 2:25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,
2 Tim 2:26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
2 Tim 3:1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 Tim 3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
2 Tim 3:3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
2 Tim 3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
2 Tim 3:5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these."
"Titus 1:15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled."
James, you can argue with God, disagree with Him, insult Him, curse Him, reject Him in as many ways as you can think of. But guess what, God loves you, he died for you that you might have eternal salvation in His kingdom. No action that you do against Him will thwart His love for you. However, if you do not accept His way to eternal life, He cannot help you after death. Listen to what Jesus warned people about,
" John 5:30 "I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me."
Jesus is saying that by the time we get to judgment all things have already been determined. He cannot change them then because He is judging with justice to please The Father.
John 5:27 and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
He is simply telling us that He is the judge.
John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs shall hear His voice,"
WE will all be judged. I guess I'll see you there,
"2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
2 Cor 5:11 Therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men,..."
Why will you die in your sins? Give them to Christ!
God loves you,
David |
