To the uninitiated:'Very well put' when spoken by Judy translates into: Someone actually agrees with me? ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: October 28, 2004 14:29 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Arafat is Dying Very well put - You do have the gift of cutting to the chase Brother T   On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 13:11:35 -0400 Terry Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 10/28/2004 7:35:21 AM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Mornin' Lance.  All those on the wide road are excluded.  Only those who enter the narrow gate and walk the narrow path are included.  Jesus .died for all that would die to self, take up their cross, and FOLLOW Him, obey Him, Live for him, and if necessary, die for him.  To say you believe without this is to have the same faith and the same future as the demons. God proved His love for us by His actions.  Your actions must prove your love for God.  Your righteousness must EXCEED that of the Pharisees.  No such thing as a casual Christian, and you must give up even your favorite sin to enter the gate.  The only thing others will ever hear from Jesus is,"Depart from me.  I never knew you." Selah, Terry Jesus died for all who would simply call on his name and ask for salvation.  Romans 10:9     It has nothing to do with God's mercy -  the opportunity to be saved is all about grace which none of us deserve.  If Arafat dies without having confessed with his mouth the Lord Jesus and believing in his heart that God raised Christ from the dead, he is a lost man.  Very simple.  Our part is to facilitate that opportunity.  Laura ================================================== Dear Sister.  You can't cling to one verse and ignore the others.  Look at the big picture please.  Grace is extended because of faith that results in repentance and obedience.  Otherwise Jesus would not have rebuked those outside His will when He said " Why do you call me Lord when you won't do what I tell you"?  There is more to it than saying "Give me the free fire insurance." I agree with your last sentence wholeheartedly. Blessings, Terry
