Re: [TruthTalk] Love or Rebuke?

[Kevin Deegan]

I ask again how long have you been saved and how many people have you led to the Lord?

Judy: How can you care for them and show them the love

of Christ without walking in love toward them?

 

Faith cometh by hearing

How shall they hear except they preach?

What is your answer?

 

Judy: I know that faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word

of God  - However, I wonder if anyone is listening. Also God's

Holy Spirit anoints His Words, not ours and He led the Lord

Jesus Christ to the cross to die for the sinner you despise.

 

Seems like you have a better answer "lifestyle" evangelism?

How about "friendship" evangelism?

 

Judy: None of the programs put together by men including

the Purpose Driven Life/Church. I am into being led by the

Spirit of God.  Jesus taught publicly but He didn't witness to

every single person nor did he heal everyone, just the ones

who came to Him. He did what he first saw the Father doing.

This is the example set for us.

 

Go ye into all the world & "live" the gospel, right?
By the way how many people do you actively witness to?

Is it only by your walk?

 

Judy: Well you know what they call ppl who are not walking

the talk - hypocrits!!

 

"Open rebuke is better than secret love"

 

Judy: Yes, when there is a sin issue between friends. You

street preachers sure are into rebuking. It almost seems like

you enjoy it too much....

THE BIBLE DOCTRINE OF SEPARATION DEMANDS THAT WE NOT ASSOCIATE WITH EVILDOERS

 

 Dean Moore writes:

 Finely someone else that understands-Brother Kevin what lead you to this relelation-Was it a loud voice as thunder-was it a vision from God Himself- was there an earthquake-Did he speak in a "still small voice"-Or did you Simply READ YOUR BIBLE? Brother answer me this: If God hates a person (such as a worker of iniquity-psalm 5:5) and I am lead by the spirit of God-will I love that person whom God hates?

 

Judy: A New Commandment I give unto you that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciplies, if ye have love one to another (John 13:34,35).  This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you (John 15:13,14) While we were yet sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).

 

Is the Servant greater than his Lord?

 

Dean writes12/17 : Judy who is this verse speaking too?

Hint. One another, My disciples-Could it be talking to

the brethren?

 

Judy: Yes Dean, it's talking to brethren, disciples of Jesus,

his friends.

 

Dean: I am  Commanded to love a believer in Christ -

not those of the world nor wordily things-but I am told to

care for them and help them by showing them the love

of Christ

 

Judy: How can you care for them and show them the love

of Christ without walking in love toward them?

 

 

Dean: but Gods love is on the other side of the wall of sin

that they put there-Repent of the sin and came and get

the love is our message-

 

Judy: Jesus was a lamb slain before the foundation of the

world. He died for us while we were yet sinners, who are

we to discriminate toward them now?  Pharisees?

 

 

Dean: The Bible teaches that God cannot bare to look

upon sin-and these people are covered with this thing

God hates-

 

Judy: God can look upon sin and He does... we can read

in scripture where the angels came before him and who

was with them?  Satan the epitomy of sin (Job 1:6) and

that's not all, God speaks to him in Vs.8.

 

Dean: He is offering them a way to remove that covering -

by washing in the blood of Christ - He is not offering to 

accept them just as they are. The love of God is there but

not upon the sinner.

 

Judy: The love of God has been on the sinner since the

foundation of the world Dean, you and I included.

 

Dean: With Mal.1:2  in mind could I walk up to Esau and

say "God loves you"?

 

Judy: Why do you drag all of this stuff out of the OT out of

context and try to make it apply to us.  Jesus gave us a New

Covenant with better promises and a 'new and living way'

to walk in.  Neither of us need concern ourselves with

going up to Esau because he is long gone, he is given as

an example for us not to follow.... 

 

Dean: How about those in Romans 1:28 ? Could you tell

those that God loves them?

 

Judy: I believe Romans 1:18-32 to be a description of those

who were destroyed by the flood in the days of Noah, and

yes things will be this bad again before the second coming

of Christ.  However God did love everyone living right now,

today, enough for His son to die so that they can be

redeemed.

 

Dean: Judy God hates the worker of iniquity-accept this-

and quit telling them God that loves them.

 

Judy: I hope you don't go out on the street with this

message of hate Dean.

 

Grace, mercy, and peace,

Judy
