Hello, Ray! I understand some of your opinions, but I am concerned about the way that you made your comments. Some of your comments that I read alerted my spirit. Our way of doing things is not always God's way of doing it. God's way is to changed people through His love. We are not to judge other people, but commanded to love them as He loves us. We are here to help and to go into all the world to preach/teach and live the Gospel of Jesus, not to run around destroying the lives of other people or humiliating them in front of everyone on myspace. I am in no way trying to offend you or discourage you but I am encouraging you to tell the truth out of love, not anger, frustration, pain or unforgivness. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has faults. Everyone has and everyone will sin aginst God. Anyone doing so is never justified for whatever reason or excuse they give. All are forgiven but only some accept what He has alrea dy done for the world and for themselves. God's Word never returns void-ever. So I am encouraging you to go to the person(s) you have a problem with and confront them God's way and out of love. Complaining about an issue to someone else or to myspace users doesn't and won't fix the problem. Go to the source of the problem. If that person still won't listen, then pray for them. There are many truths that people have tried to hide, but it will never work. God's light always shines through the darkness. He will reveal to them their wrongs like he has done and will continue to do for me. I am not perfect and will never be perfect, but I try my hardest and will continue to try my hardest to persue God in everything I do. I'm praying and believing that God will bless you! Have a wonderful and blessed day!
Dear Crystal: Thank you for your email and comments, but in all sincerity, you have not even the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. I do not "judge people." What I do is, I EXPOSE EVIL AND UNSCRIPTURAL HERESY. And people like you "think" that that is judging and being nasty and mean and ugly and ungodly and unchristian and bitter and angry etc. If anyone actually follows the commandments of God, it HIGH offends people like you. God commanded:
"CRY ALOUD, SPARE NOT, LIFT UP YOUR VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET, AND SHOW MY PEOPLE THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS, AND THE HOUSE OF JACOB THE SINS" (Isaiah 58:1).
But WOE be it unto someone like me who would even attempt such a thing. I am condemned to high heaven by Christians from every corner of the country. If Jesus came to your church, Crystal, and taught as He did in ancient Palestine, you (and I mean YOU PERSONALLY) would be shouting to have Him THROWN OUT OF YOUR CHURCH!
Here is how Jesus dealt with LYING, TWO-FACED RELIGIOUS BIGOTS, HERETIC, HYPOCRITES, AND BLASPHEMERS:
Do any believe Jesus was referencing farm animals when He said not to cast pearls or give what is holy to "the DOGS and PIGS?"
Jesus referred to the recalcitrant Jewish leaders as, "an EVIL and ADULTEROUS generation," "SERPENTS and SNAKES," and "children of the DEVIL." Why He even told the Scribes and Pharisees regarding the royal and mighty King Herod: "Go ye, and tell that FOX [that JACKAL]…"
JESUS UPBRAIDS THE CHURCH LEADERS FOR THEIR GROSS SINS
[selections from Matthew 23]
"But WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES… FOR YOU SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST MEN…
…THEY BIND HEAVY BURDENS and GRIEVOUS to be born, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but will not move them with ONE OF THEIR FINGERS
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES… you DEVOUR WIDOW’S HOUSES… you shall receive the greater damnation.
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES…
WOE unto you, ye BLIND GUIDES…
You FOOLS AND BLIND…
You FOOLS AND BLIND…
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! You… have omitted… JUDGMENT, MERCY, and FAITH…
You BLIND GUIDES, which strain out a gnat, and SWALLOW A CAMEL.
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES… within they are full of EXTORTION AND EXCESS.
You BLIND PHARISEES…
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! You are FULL OF DEAD MEN’S BONES, and ALL UNCLEANESS… and HYPOCRISY and INIQUITY…
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES!… you are the children of them which KILLED the prophets. FILL YOU UP then the measure of your fathers.
You SERPENTS, you GENERATION OF SNAKES… you KILL AND CRUCIFY… you SCOURGE in your synagogues… Behold your house is left unto you DESOLATE"!!
WOW! Every one of these comments from Matt. 23 were spoken directly to the "Religious Scholars and Theologians" in the Church of God centered at the Temple in Jerusalem. Would Jesus speak in the same manner to the Religious Scholars and Theologians in God’s Church today? Does Jesus "change"? NO. Has the Church changed in the past 2000 years? YES. It has gotten WORSE."
After hearing Jesus "upbraid" these holier-than-thou religious leaders, would you, Crystal, write Jesus a letter instructing HIM of the following:
"I am encouraging you [Jesus of Nazareth] to tell the truth out of love, not anger, frustration, pain or unforgiveness. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has faults."
Well, what do you think?
God be with you,
Ray
PS I have nothing to do with "Myspace."
