I have faith that Jesus knows all the answers to these questions you have asked me. And he will do the right thing. That is good enough for me. So we will see what happens now won't we.

Lord God thank you for exalting us above the wicked ones and delivering us out of the hands of evil.
Amen

In the future, you should be more careful to simply follow what the Bible says rather than try to interpret it to justify an opinion.

We True Christians never develop an opinion of our own without first checking to make sure it doesn't go contrary to Holy Scripture.

Re: Need Your Advice

If it's good enough to just be somewhere in the ball park of loving and following JESUS, why does He say He needs to bring them into a single, unified fold?

And what does this have to do with loving other (false) Christians as much as He loves us?

If He loves them so much, why do they need to be brought into a different fold?

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Re: Need Your Advice

So what has this to do with Jesus loving unbelievers?

Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

I cannot prove to you that Jesus loves me. But I can prove it to Him.

John, Chapter 10

16: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Let me be the first to welcome all the True Christians to the fold.

Now the 2 folds can become one Fold.

Thank you Lord God for exalting us above the wicked ones and delivering us out of the hands of evil.

amen

Listen buddy, I'm not interested in joining whatever nutso heathen fold you belong to. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing you're in a position to welcome people to is a big boxcar on the Hell Train.

Until they are True Christians they are outsiders. I agree with you.

Re: Need Your Advice

Yes, so when they are all in the fold (believing in Jesus...) then there will only be one fold and one shepherd (one religion) because everyone believes in Jesus.

How is this loving them? Until they are Christians they are outsiders.

Dense, much?

Re: Need Your Advice

Would you be kind enough to quote the specific chapter and verse of the King James Bible where it says Jesus loves non-Christians such as yourself?

Go on, I'll wait.

Re: Need Your Advice

Thank you Pastor Ezekiel for you True Christian wisdom. Is Evil the enemy of the True Christians? Evil is my enemy. Does this mean that I do love my enemies and I am pleasing Jesus?

Thank you honorable one for gracing me with your wisdom.

Lord God bless you with answers for me. amen

Bless it! I think it's trying to be clever and sarcastic.

Re: Need Your Advice

Pastor I read [in the Bible] where man is created in the image of God. Is this true?

This has to be the most redundant question ever.

Re: Need Your Advice

You aren't Christian, are you. You certainly haven't studied the Holy Bible.

How can you hate evil, when God created it?

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Joshua 23:15
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

1 Samuel 16:14
But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

2 Samuel 12:11
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

1 Kings 9:9
And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.

2 Kings 22:16
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:
