LifeHiscost Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 What are the chances of that ever happening in the world we now live in, especially in the light of this counsel. " And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Mark 16:15,16 NKJV "For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and living through all."Eph 4:4-6 NLT " “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me." John 16:1-3 NKJV "They" told me, 'Cheer up! Things could be worse." And sure enough, things got worse. God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

Mark 16:15,16 NKJV This is why we never get along. As long as there are groups that declare anyone who doesn't agree will be condemned, killed, destroyed, etc. there is no possible way to get along.

Adventists are champions of religious liberty. If every group were like us, there would be a lot more peace in the world. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Moderators John317 Posted September 27, 2010 Moderators Posted September 27, 2010 This is why we never get along. As long as there are groups that declare anyone who doesn't agree will be condemned, killed, destroyed, etc. there is no possible way to get along. But if we go by what Christ did and taught, we will realize that we have even greater reason to be good and kind to people who the Bible says will be condemned and destroyed. These people have their "heaven" here, so we need to be kind to them because God loves them and wants us to love them, too, while they are on their way to being eternally lost. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

And that is the reality re: to the conflict between false religion and that which Jesus offers. "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."John 3:17 KJV "As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?"Ezekiel 33:11 NLT "And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”" Matthew 12:36,37 NLT "And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.”"John 3:36 NLT "Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life."1 John 5:12 NLT God blesses!

A profound and sublime truth, not often realized, even by some of the body of Christ. "“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike."Matthew 5:43-45 NLT God Blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
