Signs

[MinDach]

This Generation is looking for signs, you hear all the time, show me the proof, is this what we spend our time doing, is trying to show them signs. I think Jesus words speak for them self, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; I was spending my time over in the non Christian topic, no more, the more I spend my time there, the worst they get. So If they want to know more about the word, let them come here, to this thread. If you are a christian and studying a certain topic, put it here. Lets stop the wolves from having a free lunch. And if you enjoy doing a boxing match with them, I have no problem with that, but I am getting tired of hearing a person say they are a Christian, but they changed there minds, Sorry you were never a Christian to begin with. By your words Christian can tell there own.








Mat 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.

Mat 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.

Mat 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Yes Amen sister. Even when Satan was tempting Jesus, Jesus said not to test God. Read the passages that talk about this in Matthew 4:1-11.

I was spending my time over in the non Christian topic, no more, the more I spend my time there, the worst they get. So If they want to know more about the word, let them come here, to this thread. If you are a christian and studying a certain topic, put it here.

You ever heard the saying "Don't cast your pearls on the swine"? I never knew what that meant, until i came to this site. Pearls are your words or sayings, experiences, things that you learned. In this site, i shared my opinions with others. And what happens?

They trample on them.

Then you start questioning. Then you feel like everything is hopless and you wonder "How can i preach if there is no possible way for them to listen?" Then i remember that God has everything under his control. And they would not be rejecting you, but the one who sent you- who is Jesus.

This is why we can not let the trampling get the best of us. we need Self control. once we lose it, they have an excuse to get more arrogant.

We preach, if they don't listen, we shake the dust off our feets, we leave. We help them, warn them (not judge or condemn them), give them advice, and move on. Anything else they can speak to God directly, thats why Jesus died on the cross, so that we can have a direct lines of communication with God. Jesus is Mediator. i rather stay in the christian section also, because atleast in here, there are pearls worth treasuring.

Yea, I have also been learning while being at this site that it's almost hard to have a discussion with non-believers because they're going through each of your words making sure you don't slip up. Another thing that I've noticed is that they start discussions which end up spliting up the Christians instead of unifying them. We NEED to be extremely careful of this because Jesus NEVER intended to have the Christian church so split up on doctrine beliefs as it is today. Don't lose your cool over them and just realize that they don't understand the secrets that God has shared with us in His Word...they don't have the Holy Spirit in them...they are of this world and we are not!

only the sign of Jonah , give confusion to the greeks ....

we are the signs and wonders , the gifts [charisms ] of the Holy Spirit , the miracle of Jesus within us , the change in our lives , the miraculous that follows faith - Mark 16.16-20
