Dave asks:
Can we honestly say that God truly loves Trinitarian believers without
the "and's, if's, or but's"??? They are often spoken of as if they are
evil. They are not. They sincerely love the Lord and sincerely believe
that what they embrace is correct. They don't need anyone attacking them and
trying to straighten them out. When are we going to let the Holy Ghost be
the Holy Ghost who lead and guides men into all truth????
Brother, I have never said God doesn't love Trinitarians, that they are evil
or that Trinitarians are not sincere in what they believe...I said...I don't
like what they believe, cause they believe a lie...and even though sincere
they are sincerely wrong in their doctrine (and where does that lead them?).
Neither am I attacking them, even when I am attacked first, by those
die-hard Trinitarians that call me a heretic, a liar, stupid and whatever
else they can think of. What we need to do is tell truth, and if truth is in
your eyes wrong to be told cause it might offend them ...then who, may I ask
will tell them truth. Is that not the churches responsibility? Truth cometh
by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. But how shall they hear without a
preacher and how shall they preach without being sent? (not that I am a
preacher, but still it is my repsonibility to witness, Acts 1:8) Who do you
think the Holy Ghost uses to lead and guide people? Don't you think that the
head, Jesus Christ, will use his body to perform what he wants to do? :) I
say of course, so how will they find out truth, unless we tell them? With
love and wisdom and btw, don't misquote me please by takeing my quotes out
of perspective...I NEVER tell people they are going to hell, never have and
never will. I been asked straight to my face..."are you telling me I am
going to hell" but that was because they were pricked in their heart because
I told them scriptures and I did NOT say..."You are going to hell", who am I
to judge. (I usually tell them, just that, I'm not your judge, I don't tell
people they are going to hell, but if the shoe fits, wear it). And if it is
wrong to quote scriptures, cause, we might hurt their feelings, then please
tell me how else am I going to witness to people and point them in the right
direction? Like I said...faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of
God. Furthermore, if I remember correct, Peter used scripture on the day of
Pentecost and the people were pricked in their hearts and said..."Men and
brethren what must we do to be saved?"...it is a shame that nowadays people
get offended when you tell them that people were baptized in the name of
Jesus in the book of acts and that you have to speak in tounges when you get
the Holy Ghost. And it is even more a shame that people think because we are
telling truth through scripture, we are attacking and we are offending them.
As long as I live I will tell people and tell them through scripture as I
have always done and firmly believe that any statement I make must be
sustained by at least 2 scriptures and if they get offended by the authority
that the scriptures speak in and for themselves...then that is not my
problem. Yes, the Holy Ghost will lead them into all truth, but we are the
ones to tell them all truth, and if they get offended by us quoting
scripture ... then hey...so what. :) We done our duty...lets move on to one
the next person.
God bless
Sis. Doris
