Re: Church of England: Atheism is "Cool"??
Pastor,
Praise JESUS!
GOD is a great GOD of order. But HIS Mind is not ours.
When I was looking for a screen name, HE had me at peace. As I said, I came from other websites and HE had me ministering there and receiving the WORD! So, the Corinthians passage makes no sense to what you are saying. HE was definitely in order. But remember GOD loves to test the righteous, because it strengthens us:
Job 10:15-17
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction; For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvelous upon me.
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
Daniel 12:10
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Jeremiah 18:11
Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
Hebrews 12:5-8
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Matthew 15:21-28 was not a rebuke at all.
Mark 11:15-17. That was not a rebuke, that was a judgement, because HE saw their evil and knew the hearts. Your passage here agrees with everything the HOLY SPIRIT is having me say.
We dont know peoples' hearts. There is a big difference here. We can only look at actions and try to stear people from their actions love; as JESUS did for us. If we do any rebuking, its one on one. If its in the open, it's done in love.
Thats why we must be slow to anger
James 1:19-20:
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Only JESUS knows humans hearts. That's why HE can rebuke, judge, condemn, die, resurrect, descend and defeat the demon, and more.......Look at the change in the disciples after HE ascended. Especially in Peter and Paul towards the end of their ministry.
The word unconditional love is not there. It's used to describe that love HE has. To love your enemies, your neighbor as yourself, and treat your brother special. Who does HE say not to love?? Unconditional love is this. That is just a short word for all HIS love is without showing all the verses mentioned. YES, I know you can go far with that one ( meaning dont go through the " adding to HIS word" comments. As HE knows what I mean as it's backed up with scripture. . As we are shorthanding alot of things, it would be great to speak in person ( if GOD allowed). But, again, I gave the LUKE verse to back it up. There are many more. Loving everyone is love unconditional.
Condemnation of GOD in different places of the righteous if they dont do certain things. Remember fear makes a big difference:
Ezekial 3-18-21
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekial 18:24-26
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
Your brother or sister is a believer
Your neighbor is the people here ( seeking or not); humans. Even if people reject us, JESUS just say to shake the dust off your feet. Not many act like this when rejected. That's love.
Your enemy is the adversary
