And why is it that when people actually imagine Jesus may return in a couple of years, that they're even more certain they'll be the one's to see glory!
It's quite pathetic.
I'm thinking maybe because the bible tells us that Jesus is the way to salvation and those of us who follow him, love him and put him before all things, remembering and follow his word are promised salvation... Jesus died on the cross to free us, he paid the price for us.
Matthew 7:15
Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Matthew 6:1
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
James 1:26
If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless
1 John 4:20
If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
I wonder if Jesus ran around calling people pathetic? It is statements like that that chase away people who are seeking knowledge in God. I have been thinking of finding a new church, but seeing now how warm and friendly Pentecostals are.... I think I will keep looking.
