My response

Tell me, whose will is done on earth as it is in heaven? This is what HE WILL DO:

Ezekiel 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. 32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.Isaiah 48:11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

John 3:16 says "believers" will not perish. That is fine and dandy! John 3:16 DOES NOT SAY, "if you do not know Jesus or if you reject Christian faith you will be ******". THAT IS WHAT MAN ADDED .... without considering what the Supreme Judge plainly tells you He will do in the scriptures I presented in the beginning of this e-mail. You cannot take John 3:16 and isolate it as if that is all there is to the Word of God on the subject of salvation. GOD'S WILL is contained in the texts I have presented. "His will is done on earth as it is in Heaven" as Jesus states in the Lord's prayer. Since HE ALONE HAS POWER TO ****, you cannot make Him do one thing contrary to His Word in this, no matter what you think and what preachers say. Man lies and misunderstands scriptures! Romans 3:4, Revelation 5:1-5. God does not lie! So take your manna of joy and eat it. Only babies scatter their food and throw it around when they eat. Don't you think you are a little too big for that? Do you know it is HARD to make some Christians understand what "Joy to the world! The Lord is come!" really means? Think about it!

John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Do you suppose they were "prodigal sons" who eventually "returned" to Him?  Luke 15:15-32.

Whatever you think, can you account for this?

Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Isaiah 57:16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. 17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. 18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. 19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.

Malachi 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

Isaiah 54:13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

Finally what do you think of your Father's PLANS?

Isaiah 25:6 And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.

Do you think that YOU should TRUST your Father to keep His Word and not lie?

Look at your handle.  You accept that God owns you.  He owns everyone else.  You one can DO anything unless God does it for him.... not even breathe!  God created the human mind and He will make the appropriate changes to man's heart at HIS APPOINTED TIME!

Ezekiel 36:24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them].

Never under estimate the power of the Claymaster (Jeremiah 18:1-6), my brother!  You will be surprised!
