So how is it you were introduced to who Christ is. I guess what I’m asking is was it an individual that demanded you see it their way?
preaching CHRIST is not the same as demanding anyone . Warning them is not wrong either .
Paul rebuked them quite sharply at times when they rejected Christ . HE was always preaching Christ
But we dont demand one to change . We preach the truth and if they reject we shake the dust off and move on .
As far as me , i had heard the gospel at the age of four . Then again at the age of eight .
But my dad was atheist and my mom a non praticing catholic so , it never really stuck .
Now pull up a chair cause you need to read what i am about to type .
I told you i had head knowledge of Christ and the gospel .
SO i remember real clear many years ago , me and a friend of mine joseph ,
we were telling one of our atheist friends he had to believe in Christ to be saved .
Course the atheist saw through our hyprocrisy . I mean me and joseph were partiers
drunkards and etc . This was while i was still in the marines .
Do you wanna know what we told that atheist . We didnt yell at him either
but we told him the truth . We told him he must believe in Christ to be saved .
SAD THING IS if all three of us had died in a car wreck that night
the atheist would have had company with him in the lake of fire .
TRUTH is me and joeys punishment would have been even worse . CAUSE we had head knowledge
and claimed to believe , YET lived like the devil . TOTAL hyprocrisy my friend . Total hyprocrisy .
Lip service without heart service is VAIN .
