I'm not
going to address every point you bring up, for clearly we
don't see eye to eye on this one.
Did
want to say a couple of things though: I did not
out & say that he (BO) *must* become the AC.....
just that I am of the strong opinion that he will. No
ma'am ~ has nothing to do with his arrogance (that's a given)
~ has to do with his soaking up all the praise that men give
him, calling him messiah and the one..... not to mention
how he does everything that's anti-God.
Just because
God **WANTS** all men to be saved & it deeply grieves Him
when they are not -- does not MEAN that they WILL be
saved!!! In fact, Scripture tells us that the
MASSES of people [meaning MOST] will choose the broad road
that leads to hell & ultimately to the forever Lake of
Fire. He gives us free will.
Yes, I
would turn down the opportunity to witness directly to bo
as he's aleady had tons of witness opportunities come his
way. If he is damned (as you put it) then that is
*his* choice, regardless of whether I turn my back or
not.... Wonderful to think that you would go
witness to him; you must have that gift. Christians are
all of the same Body, but with different gifts. Not
everyone in the world was called to witness verbally.
Some plant, some water, some harvest.
And
this was a whopper: Having
a contentious spirit against another cannot have a positive
effect on anyone’s psyche.
OUCH,
Lisa Girl!! Um, you absolutely cannot accuse me of
having a *contentious spirit* ~ you don't even know
me!!! Or know how many THOUSANDS of times I have
prayed for people to choose to follow the Lord & enjoy
life, rather than to follow satan & be eternally
damned. 'sides that, I'm not looking to have a
*positive effect on anyone's psyche*!!
Ridiculous! I am looking to live my life best I know how
in a way that is BIBLICALLY PLEASING to the Lord!!
I'm not looking to share warm fuzzies with anyone.... for the
sake of their psyche. People can think *positive
thoughts* all day long ~ or all life long ~ and still go
straight to hell if they are not abiding in the Vine.
OF
COURSE, we will wait & see who becomes the AC.
The raptured saints will, in fact, not know FOR SURE until
they're ALREADY in heaven, b/c he will not be *revealed* till
after the rapture. We're merely taking educated guesses
right now as we watch things unfold before our eyes and see
who the players in office are. We figure if the AC is
already among us, then surely our redeption draws nigh!!
For the
record, people can and DO cross the line in the sand &
become hardened of heart & reprobate before they even
physically die. Check out Romans 1 the entire chapter,
and Pharoah who was hardened of heart. Always best for
people to get to know the Lord early in life when at all
possible, IMO, rather than going spending an entire life being
taught liberal, evolutionary ideas that are against Christ.
These
are my thoughts. I want you to have a pleasing day in
the Lord!
