If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

Aliensanctuary Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 That man feeding and caring for the starving and homeless poor may be closer to God than all of us Bible-reading church-going Christians. Maybe that's the line of demarcation between self-sacrificing servants of mankind and those of us who use our money to buy more and more stuff for our comfort or entertainment. We can argue forever over the Scriptures, but the only thing that really counts is what we have done to help others, to brighten their little corner, even if they are outcasts who are shunned by people who have plenty of money for themselves. phkrause, GayatfootofCross, rudywoofs (Pam) and 1 other 4 Quote The Parable of the Lamb and the Pigpen https://www.createspace.com/3401451

I appreciate your sentiment and it would be a better world if all who are called did that. However without Jesus, one is just blowing in the wind. The world and all its' inhabitants are on the pathway to death. Jesus is the only One Who has overcome death and without Him receiving the praise for the good works, well I've already said what that's worth. Even some of those who profess His name while carrying out "works" leave the basic essential out. That is to know Him and depend on His overruling guidance for the grace that comes only from Him. …21"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'....Matthew 7 Emphasis theirs' LHC …4There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.…Ephesians 4 17 Every good and perfect gift descends from above, from The Father of lights with whom there is no change nor a shadow of variation....James 1 God is Love!

GayatfootofCross Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I ran with a tough crowd. (still do) I looked up to them to teach me how to look upon everyone. A Non Christian was either a Missionary Project or someone who you kick up the dust at. When Mother Teresa died people thought (and me) .. a catholic -too bad she did all that for nothing and she may not be in Heaven many many months later.... God tapped me on the shoulder with a strange thought ... How could she do all that without GOD? # my questioning of everything I was ever taught was about to explode!!!

As God went to hell and back to ensure our Return to HIM .. To this GOD - it means the World to Him to see a man help feed a man even when he says NO to GOD! #exhaustive love That brings up the fact that Jesus will be carrying the signs of His sacrifice throughout eternity, a strong reminder to those who know they would never have been enabled to enter the Kingdom were it not for the fact that Jesus was willing to die for the ungodly. 6For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.…Romans 5 Praise God, for His inexhaustable compassion. OTOH we have a choice to make. …2 A jealous and avenging God is the LORD; The LORD is avenging and wrathful. The LORD takes vengeance on His adversaries, And He reserves wrath for His enemies. 3The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, And the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. In whirlwind and storm is His way,...Nahum 1 God is Love! Jesus saves! GayatfootofCross 1 Quote Lift Jesus up!!
