Correct me if I’m wrong
God did not name the man who whooped him, the man who nailed him to the cross, the man who put the thorns on his head. But he named Judas, and he named Pilot.
God says we whooped him, he says we nailed him to the cross, we killed him. Because who ever sees a crime and does not try to stop it is just as guilty.
He named Judas and Pilot, because they were given power but did not stop it. They were given seeds but produced no fruit. So they were thrown into darkness.
If you think you can go around treating women like shit and there are no consequences, you don’t understand women. A woman is made from man- Adam. And Adam was made by God.
And Jesus was made by God from a Woman.
Therefore a woman who loves and fears God is Godly. And she is no enemy you want.
I want y’all to think about this one hard
Let’s say there is God A. God A says you should wear green everyday to serve him, and for him to be pleased with you. And for you to make it to heaven.
Then there is God B, Gob B says that you have to wear red no matter what, whoever wears green should be killed. And whoever refuses to take off the green should be killed on the spot. Green is the enemy. Red is not. Green is evil.
If there are 100 million people in this world and 99 million of them wear red but 1 million die wearing green
Which God holds the key to heaven? The one that gave you a choice or the one that forces you?
Which God is more powerful the one whose followers are willing to die for. Or the one who forces his will on you.
Alright guys here is some theoretical for all my non believers. If God is all powerful and all knowing then he created the devil. And he knew the devil would betray him when he was an angel. Why is it then that he was still created? I watched a recap by shock sensei of Full metal alchemist, and this is the only way this makes sense to me. The dwarf is apart of God, but God cast it out to become Love and he called the dwarf evil. The dwarf was evil because he attempted to take everything that was human away from him, his 7 sins. By doing so he is able(wants) to rule the world. In the Old Testament when God revealed himself, and led his people out of Egypt. God even says himself that if he were to stay longer he would kill his own people. This anger is apart of God, this ruthlessness for the wicked. But God cast it out of himself and called it the Devil. So unlike the dwarf God cast out his evil desires so he could love his people, not rule over them. And he allows the devil to take care of the wicked, while he spares the good ones because he understands the sins.But he is not okay with it.
Pain is the only alchemy that matters. nothing transmutes flesh into divinity faster than agony properly held. the great lie of this century is that suffering is always bad, to be avoided at all costs, even by those who know better, even by those who preach that sacrifice is the heart of love but still try to live pain free lives, because they have not yet understood the difference between suffering and sacrifice, between pain endured and pain chosen. all pain burns equally at the level of nerve ending, but only the pain embraced will give you wings. the rest is just shrieking meat. nothing else turns man to angel faster than the pain he accepts willingly for a greater love
You can listen to 10 sermons a week, follow 50 theologians, quote Calvin, MacArthur, Spurgeon, and Augustine, and still be a spiritually immature Christian.
Knowing theology isn’t the same as living faithfully.
You can know the doctrines of grace and still be graceless.
You can defend sound doctrine and still neglect your wife, children, church, prayer, and holiness.
Theology should produce worship, obedience, humility, and holiness.
Never sinning isn't a sign you're a Christian.
Even Paul acknowledged that he's not perfect (Phil. 3:12).
A key sign you're a Christian is that you fight sin and sin less over time, because you have the Holy Spirit in you (Gal. 5:16).
Keep pressing on, saints.
