No that makes it our choice. Adam had a choice and so do we. Choose life and live rather than sin and death.
Actually, we are all condemned because of the sin of Adam (Ro 5:18),
People don't want to be saved. John 3:19And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”
All we can do is preach the gospel faithfully and accurately. No one can help God/Jesus do anything. God needs our cooperation, not our help. He's already told us what to do.
I was thinking in terms of elaborating on your response to jaxxi's post:
How do we receive the blood offering of our Savior? To receive Him, we should believe in the Son, and also profess His name. "John" (Yahuwhanan) 14:26 explains how it will be those who are not against the Spirit of the One being Pure is who will remind the people to return to the Father, because someone with the Spirit will have the NAME, Yahweh Yahuwshua, but we should not missapply the name of Yahweh to satan or the antichrist.
It's because most people think they are in Christ, but they are still of the world. They are of everything of the world and don't know the difference. If Jesus is the head and you are attending things and doing things that Jesus would not, you are of the world. Why would Jesus go vote for a earthly King. This is not his kingdom. Would he have a favorite football team. Would he belong to a particular Church? People don't get it. You have to give up your life in this world. Your in it, but not of it. You must obey the rules, but if the rules cause you to denounce Jesus then that one you don't follow.
I am not blaming God for anything except the fact that it is not fair that they can see us but we cannot see them. Maybe I am a little upset. 20 years ago I was entered in my body by a demon that screamed at me in hideous foreign tongue and my soul ran from it and screamed for Jesus and it was forced out of the top of my head. I lay there contorted on my bed horrified. Beyond horrified. How do we fight what we cannot see? I was 17 when it happened and as it turns out, at that time the girls across the hall from my dorm room were invoking demons in their room with a pentagram. So yeah, why does Satan have power over us and the power to trick us in ways that lead us to hell? I read somewhere that 80% of the people in hell do not know why they are there. Why is it our fault that Eve was so stupid? Why do we have to battle this monster on a daily basis while he pines for our souls day in and day out?
I admit here that Im upset.
My friend at the time told me that what that thing said to me would've come out of my mouth and she wanted to know if those girls heard anything. When they opened the door they had on robes and the room was dark lit by candles at each point on a pentagram on the floor.
Is that showing compassion for a fellow Christian? Have you ever had a demon try to drive you out of your own body? I was
Really? Did you know that secular music, movies, makeup, fake nails, vanity, sports, books, profanity, ham, bacon, work, wealth, hair styles, dancing, ANYTHING that is not of or does not glorify God can keep us from being received into heaven? Things that seem harmless to us are a big deal once we die. We have been lied to about so much for so long that we do not know holiness. We have the different compartments of our lives, and we act different.
It was in a recent hell testimony by a pastor. It was a vision or a near death experience, I cannot remember but the part I find reliable is that the Bible tells us in the last days young men will have visions and old men will dream dreams and be shown things from above and below. This is happening now and though we have always had some accounts here and there, in the past year they have been abundant and all with the same message coming from Jesus. The message appears to be that mankind has it wrong. Yes Jesus died for our sins, but unless they do their part and repent- his death on the cross was in vain and they will fall into hell in their sin. He is crying and telling the people " Go and tell my people to repent now. There is no more time. Tell my people to turn back to Me and come out of this world. Mankind is falling here daily by the thousands and no one is repenting. Once you die without repentance the judgement falls and it is too late. They all repent after and say they did not know that hell was real. It is too late. Tell my people all you have seen." That is the rough message and it is terrifying. From what I have tried to share with people, I am finding that no one is listening. It's like the Boy who cried wolf.
Here is where you are flat out wrong. What happened to me gave me a victim mentality while I was still young until I strengthened my faith. I am 48 now and I am beyond being a survivor even. I see myself as a warrior, a loyal thankful servant and I am ready to leave this world right now and die a martyr for Jesus because He means EVERYTHING to me. I only experienced what I did to prepare for what is ahead and you cannot fight a proper battle unless you know who you are up against and what they are capable of. I have gone full circle my friend and it's almost showtime.
