RE>>Unfortunately those types of answers are why people turn away from Christianity.<<
Christianity is not judged by individuals even by you.. Mark.
Nobody judges a group by the actions or attitudes of a single individual or even several individuals unless they are already striving to condemn that group.
The unsaved and rebellious are always looking for excuses but Christ will hear none of them !
Also Christianity is Spiritual first and intellectual second. I have tried to stress that to you again and again.
===== You cannot THINK your way into Heaven =====
The way to heaven is HIDDEN by GOD...
Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
1 Corinthians 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The Spirit of God must be granted to you before you can even "SEE" the things of God.
Your questioning does not bother me.. your refusing to hear the answer is sinful...
I wrote you a post and proved from scripture that God has intentionally hidden the way of Salvation from carnal men.
intentionally hidden You should be able to hear that even with a carnal mind don't you think ?
As far as the term "bastard" I should have refrained from that term... it has nothing to do with your Natural Parents it has to do with the Spirit however I am not in the position to know for a certainty that it will always apply to you. I'm sorry. You do however at this point show no signs of being saved.
This is the verse where Paul uses the term concerning those who are anti-Christ.
Hebrews 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Two kinds of men - "All" in this scripture refers to the Elect.
I still think you are being dishonest in your responses but why would I expect anything else from the Spiritually dead ?
I am going to address your original question - Next Post ! |
