From: Kevin Deegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
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.
Kevin: Then as he is cast into Hell he will probably look you in
the eye and say something like: Christian, All the times you talked
to me, you never told me the truth? Christian, You let me be cast
into
Hell by your SILENCE. You never TOLD me, CHRISTIAN.
You may
even get his blood, required at your hands EZ 3:18. Since you did
nothing for him in this life. it is only fitting that God would
require
your ACTIVE PARTICIPATION in his destruction!
Judy:
Have you been reading too many Chick Tracts
Kevin? How can you
be so sure he will be cast into hell since he is not dead yet and why
are you trying to
make me personally
responsible for his eternal
destiny?
His mother is an active
churchgoer and she is a Christian.
Kevin: So what has, God impressed you to do for him?
Judy:
I pray for him - God has impressed me to
do this and he apologizes
to me when the talk gets a bit risque (ppl in
the world seem to get a
kick out of teasing him) because he knows I am
a believer and I
believe that God makes me a constant
reminder.
Kevin: Are you sure it is God that has not impressed you, or do
you resist?
Judy:
Why would I resist when my sole purpose on this
earth is to obey
Him and to do His will. Getting in ppls faces is not necessarily
always
God's will Kevin.

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 - ameasure of time during which we are conformed to the 'image of Christ'which is what we have been predestined to since the foundation of theworld. (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 thanan accomplished fact. After we've said our prayer we work out our ownsalvation with fear and trembling, witnessing to others as the Lord opensthe door. The main thing is to learn obedience, just as Jesus learned bythe 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 theyhaven'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 observethe outward appearance - His judgment is perfect and LOVE is whereit's at.Dean:He said to go into all the world and preach the gospel- Why do Ihave to wait for a door to open-the entire world is open and the harvestripe-and Jesus point the direction and said go .Are you saying to sitstill and wait?Judy:I'm not telling you to do anything other than obey the Lord. ATSTare you telling me that 'everyone' is to go Dean? that women can't stayat home, keep house, and raise children in a stable environment becauseeveryone is commanded to go out into the streets and preach?Dean writes:No- not everybody can travel to Africa and preach-but they caninvite 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'thave 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 KingdomDean mine do and I am not ordained to inspect their lives and judgethem. I go to a hairdresser who is homosexual, he was raised in aPentecostal Church and he believes he is OK. He talks about prayingall 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 youthink Mary & Martha of Bethany and Jesus' mother Mary went out intothe streets to preach the gospel and get people saved?Dean wrote:I believe they told many about Jesus-whether loudly of quitely-theytold. 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 preachingthe 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 Iam hindering or trying to stop someone preaching the gospel. Who Dean?and what if thelight within be darkness and we become a stumbling block to others assome of the Mormons have been stating. What if we run before we aresent? God prepared ppl for a long time before sending them on amission for Him.Dean writes:I fail to see how preaching Christ and Him crucified could causeanyone a problem-except those that hate God. To preach this is toshine light into the world-not darkness that would make one to fall.1 Peter 2:8Judy:Sometimes Dean the way we do things causes the problem. Not everyoneis impressed by the same things. Paul said he became all things to allpeople so that he might win some.And a stone of stumbling,and a rock of offence,even to them which at theword,being disobedient,whereunto also they were appointed. Yes I wouldagree here as I believe you are not ready to go-maybe you are here nowto get ready?Judy:To go where Dean? Don't you think if God wanted me to go somewherethat he is capable of getting my attention?----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
