RE: HELP pleeease!!

Hello, John and Doves,

Susan, I hope you read my "pep-talk" from the LORD yesterday.

Now, for the strategy.

Let us agree that the Holy Spirit has convicted this particular Candidate Attorney,

as to the zeal of the LORD.

What we need to do is to build on the foundation that the LORD has already laid.

Since I'm no lawyer, and I am not gifted with quick wit and jaw-dropping rhetoric,

I will lay out simply what the LORD has put on my heart.

The philosophy of judgement behind all that the LORD judges is, in my opinion,

not better laid out than in Ezekiel, chapter 18, especially verses 20 through 32.

Remember, when you feel inadequate to the task, re-read the gospel according to John,

chapters 14 through 17. You will be encouraged by the words of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember also, that this soon-to-be-brother [we hope] is looking for the truth.

But, due to his sophistication, he requires not only that he knows what he believes--when

he becomes a believer--but also that he knows why he believes.

To that end, you might read the IVP [Intervarsity Press] booklets by Paul E. Little,

Know What You Believe and Know Why You Believe--as well as various others.

In HaShem,

Mike C.

"HELP pleeease!!"

Hi all Doves

Please help me to answer this CA (Candidate Attorney). My e-mail to him and his response. How do I make him see that he needs a saviour, Jesus in his short life?

God bless you all and see you soon.

Subject: RE: re our conv...

Yes madam, and through Jesus Christ do I pray. It is just interesting to note how the God who created us as we are is taken by people and made out to be this vengeful being who shall come down upon his creatures with wrath dare they neglect accepting Jesus Christ. I do not believe that He shall do so. God is not stupid: He knows what he made.

My example is this: say you are an Engineer and you create a car. The car is designed in such a way that its top speed is 40km/hr. Will you then be angry when you accelerate and all the car can achieve is a maximum speed of 40km/hr? Will you be angry at the car if, due to environmental features, the car’s efficiency decreases and its maximum speed becomes 20km/hr? I think God is aware more than you or I or any other preacher, of who we are, our nature, our susceptibility to earthly things, our weaknesses etc. He is aware. He made us to be the best we could, to cope as much as we could, each according to our unique character and mindset. He gave us individual minds to think, to assess, to judge.

Hence my statement: what am I being saved for? If for my sins, where do they come from? If from my human nature, who gave me that nature? If God, then why would He go through the process of making something that He thinks I need saving from? Would God create what He abhors? And then condemn it for its abhorrent nature?

If the human nature springs from Satan, who created Satan? If God, did God know Satan was evil? If yes, then why didn’t God defend us against Satan by giving us a natural resistance against Satan in our human nature? Are you saying God left us at the mercies of Satan and then sent his son to die so that we could believe in the son that died and gain freedom from Satan? But how and why? If God is all powerful and all seeing, surely a beast like satan would not be a problem? If you had children that you loved dearly and you saw a man coming and you knew that that man was a great manipulator and would probably manipulate your kids into doing bad things, would you let the man lead your kids astray? Or would you protect them as much as you could from the man? Meaning you would stop that man while he was still far and send him away, or kill him, or do whatever it takes to keep him away from your children.

God loves us, madam Waigwa, and we should love ourselves too because we were worthy enough to be created by him, with our faults. We try all we can in this earth that has joy, pain, sorrow, laughter, mourning, celebration, tears and pleasure.. God appreciates us for that. That is what I believe, and that is the God I pray to: the one who loves me.

Romans 6:23

For the wages of Sin is Death but the free gift of God is Life thru Christ Jesus

Mark 8:36

Brian, What shall it profit a man if he GAINS the whole world and loses his own soul?

Acts 3:19

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins be blotted out.

John 3:16

For God, so loved the world (man) that He gave His only Son, that WHOEVER believes in Him (Jesus) may not perish but have everlasting life.

As you said, our lives originate from God, therefore we belong to Him, as His creation, but He wants to have a relationship with Him as sons and daughters, based on our willingly giving our lives to Him thru His son Jesus Christ..

The Bible says that “there has not been given any other name, in Heaven or on earth by which we may be saved, but the name of Jesus Christ.

It is true that one day we will die, unless Jesus comes for those who trust in Him during the Rapture, and then we shall face judgement. God will not judge us on our wealth, fame or any good works. Like the days of old, God had to see the blood of the lambs that had been sacrificed, before He could forgive those people. God has to see the Blood of Jesus, over your life and in your life, for Him to forgive you and I of our sins.

We cannot gain eternal life thru any other way other than what God has given us. Salvation is by Jesus Christ only.
