Where in hell? Look and see where
they had to depart to?
Matt:25:41...into everlasting
fire,prepared for the devil and his angels:

**Wrong tense Dean, sorry bout
that ... I should have said 'would have'
had enough
time to get it
together. You see this is what salvation is - a
measure of time during which we are conformed to the 'image of
Christ'
which is what we have been predestined to since the foundation
of the
world. (Romans 8:29,30)
Dean writes; And after we are
saved what then?
Do we walk around smiling -telling
others that God loves them?
____________________________________________________________
Judy:
Salvation is present-progressive
Dean, it's an ongoing work rather than
an accomplished fact. After
we've said our prayer we work out our own
salvation with fear and trembling,
witnessing to others as the Lord opens
the door. The main thing is to
learn obedience, just as Jesus learned by
the things he suffered.... but
suffering as an evildoer doesn't count.
Dean writes:
Then tell me what if one died in Christ right this
minute? What if they
haven't completed that ongoing work?
Judy:
Actually it's God who works in us to
will and to do of His good pleasure.
He knows what we are about and
He sees the heart while we observe
the outward appearance - His judgment is perfect and
LOVE is where
it's at.
Dean:
He said to go into all the world and preach the gospel-
Why do I
have to wait for a door to open-the entire world is open
and the harvest
ripe-and Jesus point the direction and said go .Are you
saying to sit
still and wait?
Judy:
I'm not telling you to do anything
other than obey the Lord. ATST
are you telling me that 'everyone' is
to go Dean? that women can't stay
at home, keep house, and raise children in a stable
environment because
everyone is commanded to go out into
the streets and preach?
Dean writes:
No- not everybody can travel to Africa and
preach-but they can
invite their neighbor to come to the kingdom. They can do
something
-such as tell what God will exact for the penalty of
sin-and the one doesn't
have to go to that awful place-that is true love for your
fellow man.
Judy:
What if the neighbors believe they
are already part of the Kingdom
Dean mine do and I am not ordained to
inspect their lives and judge
them. I go to a hairdresser who is homosexual, he was
raised in a
Pentecostal
Church and he
believes he is OK. He talks about praying
all the time. Should I get in his face and tell him he is going
to hell?
God has not impressed me to do
this.
---------------------------------------------------------
Do you
think Mary & Martha of Bethany
and Jesus' mother Mary went out into
the streets to preach the gospel and
get people saved?
Dean wrote:
I believe they told many about Jesus-whether loudly of
quitely-they
told. Who brought the first message that He is risen if
not these Mary(s)
after visiting the tomb-But I can tell you one thing they
certainly didn't do-
They never hindered or even tried to stop one person from
preaching
the gospel as you have been trying to do.
Judy:
Oh! So now the accuser is stepping it
up. First I have no fruit and now I
am hindering or trying
to stop someone preaching the gospel.
Who Dean?
and what if
the
light within be darkness and we
become a stumbling block to others as
some of the Mormons have been
stating. What if we run before we are
sent? God prepared ppl for a
long time before sending them on a
mission for
Him.
Dean writes:
I fail to see how preaching Christ and Him crucified
could cause
anyone a problem-except those that hate God. To preach
this is to
shine light into the world-not darkness that would make
one to fall.
1 Peter 2:8
Judy:
Sometimes Dean the way we do things
causes the problem. Not everyone
is impressed by the same things. Paul
said he became all things to all
people so that he might win
some.
And a stone of stumbling,and a rock of offence,even to
them which at the
word,being disobedient,whereunto also they were
appointed. Yes I would
agree here as I believe you are not ready to go-maybe you
are here now
to get ready?
Judy:
To go where Dean? Don't you
think if God wanted me to go somewhere
that he is capable of getting my
attention?
