Point taken. Nevertheless in context with the issue raised in this thread, that verse, in particular, ties into why Jesus would say 'I never knew you. Depart from me, ye who worketh in iniquity'.
I don't remember which verse it is, but hearing those words would scare me to death, because He is speaking to those who claim to be "doing things and speaking" on His behalf.
This is good , very good to ponder on. For its better we repent now , than hear those words later.
Imagine living your whole life , thinking to hear well done
only to be told on that day I NEVER KNEW YOU. Imagine HOW terrifying that would be.
I mean we know what comes after that , Cast alive into a lake of fire
from whence their is no escape , only the heavy torment and the mind which says, WHY didn't I heed the Spirit
Why didn't I love his sayings, Why, but only suffering in that place.
ITS a place GOD does not desire for us, but its real and it wont disappear , just because todays generation don't believe
this can happen. I want us to all seriously ponder What GOD did for us
HOW JESUS , creator , SUFFERED our dues , and then man is going to trodden under foot
JESUS , man twisting His sayings, His patterns to suit mans carnal sin.
If we think the law was harsh , and that under two or three witness a man could die
HOW MUCH WORSE for he or she who has trodden under foot the son of man.
HOW MUCH WORSE. Now this needs to sink in. Back in pauls day the requirement for leaders
heck for young men , even wives , even women, Be GRAVE
but I don't see grave anymore . I See a false image of GOD and of Christ that man has created.
A god that serves us, a god that is okay with sin, a god that calls evil good and good evil.
THEY preaching a false gospel that sets no man free. I volunteer to run them false hirelings OFF.
they got no business in the church , let alone to lead any church.
now , I do pray they repent , because I don't desire any man to perish.
But I will shun their false gosples and lies straight to the dung pile it is.
