Re: The world is crumbling all around us

So, today is a new day and I will eat some humble pie and stick around for a while. Nobody can ever earn salvation Luther T, it is a freely given gift from God (Romans 6:23). I just find the righteousness of some to be more like self-righteousness to be honest with you but perhaps I am just a little sore after being rebuked. I will give this some thought and I will pray.

Welcome back Jupiter. Don't be a stanger!

Yours in Christ

Re: The world is crumbling all around us

I followed this thread with great interest as Pastor Zeke and Brother Lazarus attempted valiantly to bring this Jupiter into the fold.

What Jupiter failed to realize is that the gift Jesus gave us, eternal salvation, has to be earned.

Jesus died a horrible, ugly death. He was hung on a cross and tortured in ways none of us can imagine. Too many people, people like Jupiter, think that the gift Jesus gave was something easy, something to be taken for granted.

The path to salvation is a hard road, full of steep climbs, rocks, pitfalls, and precipitous cliffs. So many think that by reading the more soft Bible verses like John 3:16 they are automatically saved. The Bible must be considered in its entirety. It is full of stories where salvation has to be earned. Consider Job, David, even Lazarus. Each had to endure terrible hardship, and often, God's rebuke.

It is easy to say to yourself "Jesus loves me so I am saved." It isn't that simple. A man can't just talk the talk, he must walk the walk, and that walk can be painful both physically and psychologically. I wish more people understood that. I pray Jupiter, and other "soft" Christians come to understand that.

Re: The world is crumbling all around us

Fine, goodbye then.

Why do you insist on misunderstanding? Both Pastor Zeke and I have been doing our best to help you understand. If you choose to stay and learn you will be welcome. If you choose to have a Nancy boy hissy fit and leave, you won't be missed.

It's your choice. I invite you to stay. Pastor Zeke's lessons are often hard to hear, but they are lessons that MUST be heard if you want eternal salvation. When I first came here it was VERY difficult to bear Pastor Zekes ministrations, but I credit him with my eternal salvation.

Yours in Christ

Re: The world is crumbling all around us

How come you don't act so humble then? Brother Lazarus acts more humble than you. At least he knows how to talk to people without upsetting them. Was it humble to make a fool of me in my sig and in my user title? How can you expect me to want to learn from you if you treat me like I don't belong here?

Well, you don't.

How in the world is changing your signature to reflect your current status with both God and this Holy Church making you a fool? Are you implying that this verse of Holy Scripture is foolish? I think is is a wonderful piece of scripture. I'd be proud to have it as my own.

You have questions about belonging here. If you have aspirations to learn all about the AV 1611 Bible and be Saved in the Blood of Jesus, then you belong. If you want to mock God and those that seek to help you, then you don't belong here. I am trying to help but you insist on resisting. The choice is really yours.

I am but a humble servant of the Lord

Re: The world is crumbling all around us

Pastor Zeke has issues with pride, that much is clear. He thinks he can do what he wants so he implants me wiuth a sig of his choosing and a user title to reflect his opinion of me. Maybe on this forum he can do what he wants, I can't control that. But God loves me just as much as him, and I know it doesn't matter what pastor Zeke says, I listen to God not pastor Zeke.

I am but a humble servant of the Lord, who is going to return to earth any day now like a theif in the night, and He's going to have a flaming sword sticking out of His loving mouth, and He's going to slay at least 1/3 of the earth's population.

This same God has commanded you to obey Pastor's orders.

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Better think about your own arrogance before pointing any fingers, friend. You are a classic case of false Christianity.

Pastor Zeke is the finest man I know. I came to this church and was rebellious much in the way you are. He took me under his wing. He was both gracious and stern, but the stern came first. It got my attention and I began to really study what this blessed church is all about. I credit Pastor Zeke with the salvation of my soul. He is trying to HELP you!

Re: The world is crumbling all around us

All this whining and complaining. Didn't you do anything that I asked? It would have saved you a lot of trouble. You're really looking like a Nancy boy. Man up. Read the AV 1611 and understand it is God's Holy Word, every single Word of it!

Don't forget to tithe!

Just becuase you say I look like a nancy boy, doesn't make it so I'm afraid. It only means you think so, it doesn't make it a fact.

Re: The world is crumbling all around us

Nicely edited, and added to the post after you spent some time thinking about it to try and make your post look good. Doesn't make it right though, to do that just becuase you can. Anyway, I believe I see more than you.

Re: The world is crumbling all around us

I did everything I could to help you but you ignored me. Now you are going to run off in a Nancy boy hissy fit because Pastor Zeke rebuked you. There probably would not have been any need of rebuke if you had paid attention. Why don't you man up and take the time to read what I asked you to read, and understand that everything here is firmly based on scripture.

It is obvious that you don't "see" much of anything.

Re: The world is crumbling all around us

Delete my account. I'm sure you'll be glad to see the back of me.

Reason.

What kind of place is this that I'm given a user title against my will and my sig has been edited, and my posts are edited calling me a retard?

Good bye, God bless. I will pray for you all.
