24. No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (Matt 6:24)

This is a vital doctrine, so do not belittle it, but bend your heart to the honest seek of God's will, so you may find, and do not get lost.

You don't know a person's heart by looking at them or judging them on actions in a moment- or in all the moments. It is not for you to judge. You can say you see certain traits that indicate such. But God is the judge of their soul. And God is the one to set them straight. You can direct people but that does not make it God's will.

I now the time, what we are living, and people's values also tell's much.

Which one you are, the follower of the Christ, or the follower of mammon?

You can not serve two master.
What is your purpose in coming to this forum to start preachy, accusatory threads?

Why should anyone here answer to you? Who are YOU?

I am a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it my work to preach the truth, for the people's of the last time's.

And woe for me if do something else, that speaks the truth.

Well, neither of those sentences make sense, but I'm guessing it's a language issue.

But seriously, do you have a point? You are posting dramatic "woe are you" messages on a forum where most people are either Christian already or not Christian but looking to argue with Christians. If you truly fancy yourself an appointed servant of Christ, I'm sure you could ask for guidance as to a more effective use of your time.

Your shouting into cyberspace is about as effective as the poster on this board who posts endless one-liner bible quotes. It's ineffective.

Think of it this way..... 75 years ago he'd have been the guy walking around wearing a sandwich board that said, "Repent. The end is near."

We were separated at birth, Dew. I was thinking similarly and almost wrote it--the people walking around on the streets shouting "the gospel" into the air.

You don't have to go back 75 years. You can find them in New York.

On 9/11, one of my Twilight Zone memories is walking on 8th Avenue near 42nd Street. On one corner, there was a man in a long black coat and sort of a top hat shouting, "Repent, for the end of the world is at hand!"

(On the next corner, a young Asian woman handed me a flyer for $2.00 off per yard at a nearby fabric store. That was even more bizarre, given what had just happened two hours earlier.)

But here...there just seem to be so many of them sometimes, and they attract atheists who want to play with them because it's so damn easy. It's rare that a good, real spiritual conversation is going on in the Christianity forum. That's why I sometimes visit that other place where I see you, too.

We also share that 'rocks and trees' thing-y.

You understand me clearly, but you just want to quarrel, because you hate the values what I teach.
