Marvel not if the world hates you, For it hated me FIRST and the servant is not above his master, if they have hated me, they will hate you. One who receives not you, receives not ME and if they receive not ME they receive not HIM who sent ME. Let us all ponder on this beautiful words OF the LORD . and as we DO , let us remember WHY do you call ME LORD and yet DO NOT the things which I command. Any man who preaches JESUS and HIS SAYINGS................is going to be hated by those who hate His sayings. The message must not be changed to win souls or damanation is only the end . We change not to fit to the world to win souls , or both we and the ones who came are damned . ITS JESUS and HIS SAYINGS that must get taught . anything else TRULY IS LIKE A HOUSE BUILT ON SAND> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a Christian minister, I would know that my response could never "determine his eternal life". It might determine mine, but never can it determine his. Only God can determine, decide and make happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only God can determine, decide and make happen. It would determine his eternal life, indirectly. If you can tell him something that would make him trust in Jesus. His own trust would earn him eternal life. If you the minister, were stuck and didn't know how to respond. It could very well end with eternal hell.

A Christian minister is called to share the gospel of Jesus to him. This man has heard of Jesus, but does not know about him. The minister arrives in the mans room exactly 3 minutes before the man dies. The minister quickly shares the gospel: "Jesus died that his blood may wash away your sins. He was crucified and resurrected in 3 days. If you repent and believe in him, you will be saved" The man says, in his last minute: "I confess my sins, I know I'm a sinner. I believe in Jesus and I trust in him, but how do I know that I really trust him and I'm not just saying it? How do I know I truly believe in my heart, not with my words and mind?" If you were the minister, how would you respond? Knowing this man has 10 seconds to live and your next response may determine his eternal life in heaven or hell Write in quotes your exact response to the man. Consider this man has no knowledge of the scriptures. The guy nailed up there on the cross next to Him, has about the same amount of time as the OP, and he says "Surely you are the Son of God.." and he has an audience. Jesus says the outcome is.... And this was the thief's only 'work'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only such 'work' if you want to call it that, that is written in Scripture , or did you read the writings of his day(if there are some) that explained what he did the previous 3 years, and when he was a child , and that he had no other 'works' as you call them ?

We don't do personal insults here. The statement "Foolish question? Foolish reference" is a personal insult, just as calling someone "ignorant" is a personal insult. It is a violation of the TOS. So insulting people through a Bible verse is fine. But if there's no verse reference, it's an insult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone doesn't know something, they are ignorant of the facts. That's very common, of all people on may things, and it is not an insult itself. (i.e. it is not an insult when "ignorant" is used properly according to its definition ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
