Admiral Thrawn Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Take all the shots at me you want; my sense of self isn't even remotely reliant on what you think of me. Point is, we're all sinners; Christians included. A Christian is a sinner that is saved by grace. Grace is available to anyone who chooses to receive it. Link to post Share on other sites

Touche Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Withdrawing post. This was your BEST post AT! And a4a: Remember these words by AT? "God respects free-will. The fact this is bothering you so much shows that you know this is true, and it is much more than just harassment. You are trying to run away from God, doing things in your own way, but the void, restlessness and emptiness is still there. The Lord is knocking on your door even today, if you will let Him in. He said, behold, He standeth at the door and knocketh, if any man openeth the door, He will come inside, and have supper with you, and you will eat with him today." Don't run away, a4a! The void will remain..you can't run away from it! Let the Lord in and invite him for brunch...oops sorry I mean supper...you can eat and drink with him and be merry. Let him in...Hey, does any one remember that old song: "Someone's knocking on your door...open the door and let him in...oh yeah, yeah" Was that a Bible reference? Hmmmm...something to ponder! So a4a, let him in and eat with him...just make sure he doesn't step on the goat poop in the living room. That would be a type of sacrilege (sp?). Amen. Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Thrawn Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Touche; He is knocking on your door too. Open it up and let Him in. Let Him clean your house up too. This is not a joke folks. Of course, the Bible also says, not to cast pearls before swine, lest they turn around and rend you. Got lots of nice pearls here. Either you can appreciate the value of the pearl, or you do not. It is as simple as that. But this pearl is so valuable, that you will find it is worth more than all your assets combined. The Pearl of Great Price is like the Kingdom of Heaven. So dont be a pig, be an investor - and own this Great Pearl for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites

newbby Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Reject God and he will reject you. Isn’t that fair? this is what seems strange to me. talking about god as though HE(?) is human. if god is love, and the universal spirit why would god reject anybody? if somebody does not find inner peace and love and connectedness in their lifetime then perhaps life becomes a living hell, but, that is not the same as rejection. if god is love and love is pure, and we are all gods children then we are all pure of essence. i dont believe god rejects anybody, i believe religion rejects people. i dont believe god can reject anybody.

You are right, Jesus will not reject anyone who comes to Him. Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Thrawn Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hell YES! Do you do windows? Of course, windows are included. Windows are the eyes of to the soul. What you are looking at, or what you are viewing should be clean too. The body is your home, because your spirit is residing in your body. Just invite Jesus inside, ask Him to come inside of you and lay hold of everlasting life. This is the Pearl of Great Price. Say out-loud: "I open the door. Come into my heart Jesus. I accept You as my Savior and My God." and the Spirit of God will indwell and come into your heart. Repent of your sins, and tell the Lord that you are sorry, and to forgive all your past sin and to give you the strength to walk in purity and love. Congradulations - all the Angels in heaven rejoice for each and every one sinner who chooses to serve the Lord. The Parables say that the Lord is looking for the lost coin and the lost sheep, not the other 99 coins or sheep that are ok. It's the ones that need help He wants to reach out to. There is a new name written down in Glory for you and a Mansion in heaven - because God is good. Now, keep close to the Lord, make sure you pray consistently and study the Bible on your own. Ask the Lord to lead you to the right church and what He wants you to do. So, if you were sincere, this is all true, and allot more. If you were fooling around or being sarcastic, then you are missing out. Jesus is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother, can not fail anyone, and will not leave you or forsake you when you are really down. Link to post Share on other sites

Apex Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 if somebody does not find inner peace and love and connectedness in their lifetime then perhaps life becomes a living hell, but, that is not the same as rejection.This ain’t Buddhism. What did Jesus find at the end of his life? He found torture, humiliation, rejection, and crucifixion. You either serve God or you don’t. if god is love and love is pure, and we are all gods children then we are all pure of essence.He is not our servant. i dont believe god can reject anybody.God rejected Satan. If what you say is true then Jesus wasted his time. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, I'm VERY ready. The question is...are YOU? Right sure you are. Except, there is one problem. I never made myself to be anything here, other than to state what is in the Bible. Who I am has no bearing on the spiritual truths in the Bible. I never said I was Jesus Christ. Well, I'm very happy you feel you are ready to meet God. I guess you may be 'good' enough to make it.
