My dear revivalgurl, I welcome your post and your views. You are welcome to jump in at any time. I do value your views.
But I would like to point out a couple of things about the postings above these last ones.
Before even starting,
God does NOT allow different points of view when it comes to His Word which He Gave us in the Bible. For the only view that is acceptable to God is the view the Holy Spirit gives us. Any other view is of man and being of man is wrong. Accepting that as true, then if falls like this. If the view of someone else is right, or Ok, then my view is wrong, and thus I am on a slide going down to hell. But if my view, which I claim to have received from the Holy Spirit of God, is right, then where does that put the other person's position with their view??? How can you tell which one is right? The answer is: does their view line up with what the Bible does say? And have you gone back to God and asked God to make known to you the truth?
1. the attempt was made to teach one who had a wrong idea of what the Bible specifically said. Teaching, Not by one person but by at least two, before that attempt to teach was rejected. And again taught by another one afterwards.
2. The attempt was made to nudge them back unto the correct path, which they also rejected.
3. It is a loving kindness to tell someone what the Word of God says, when they have a distorted view of God's Word. How can one become angry, or put out, to become upset when they are told what the Word of God says in the Bible?? Only if they do not want to hear the Word of God.
4. As far as Jesus and the Pharisees, A re-read of the Scriptures will show that Jesus only gave Warnings to them, warnings of condemnation. But not one of correction.
5. Jonah was sent to Nineveh with a one time warning that God was going to bring destruction upon them. The message which God sent to the people of Nineveh as not spoken with a please change, or else message, It was not given to them as a correction, but was a message of destruction upon them on a given date. And upon reading, it shows that it was a direct condemnation, and it was the people themselves who repented as a whole people.
5. While it is taught that Jesus Christ, and Jehovah God Almighty is a Loving God (1John 4:16), and a Compassionate God (Psalms 78:38), A God of Goodness (Nahum 1:7), they are seldom taught the other side of the Lord God. That God, from the very start of Genesis, has told man to Do It My Way OR ELSE!! Adam and Eve was only told once, before God's judgment upon them. Cain was only given one chance to repent and to do it God's way. Down through the Bible it shows that God Almighty is deadly serious when God says that He is a Jealous God (Exodus 34:14; Deut. 29:20 ), a Vengeful God (Ezekiel 25:17 ), an Angry God (Deuteronomy 6:15; Numbers 11:1 ), Men today are not taught that while God is longsuffering (Numbers 14:18), He is also a righteous God (Psalms 145:7; Proverb 16:11 ), A Holy God (Ezekiel 39:7 ), A God who will Destroy His enemies (Exodus 22:20; Deut. 28:45), A God who will take Revenge (2Corinthians 10:6; Nahum 1:2).
The Lord says repeatedly in the Bible, "Neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity. (Ezekiel 5:11; 7:4, 7:9; 8:18; 9:10)
6. Ananias and Sapphira were not given any word of correction, As like Adam and Eve, they were judged on the first error, never given a chance to go back and do it right as was Cain.
So why does everyone today expect God to repeatedly pat them on the back and say, that's Ok, you can disagree with me, That's Ok if you teach a twisted version of My Word. That's Ok if you want to debate my Word and then choose the way you want it to read. No, No, God still today says that you will do it My Way or Else. God still says today that you will not change His Word or he Will place curses upon you, and will cut you off. (Deut. 4:2, 12:32; Rev. 22:18-19)
When someone turns and twist the Word of God, The Lord God will usually send a correction to that person if they are doing it in ignorance. But the Lord God will usually only send a warning if they do it deliberately, and will cut them off if they do not repent and turn back from that path. But understand that the Holy Lord God does Not Have to even give a correction, or even a warning, for judgment can, and will, be done at His pleasure, not at ours.
May the Lord continue to bless and keep you and yours, leading you into all of His Truths.
