I am tired of Christians who fence sit. They want to please the world but if you serve God, you will offend the world. Yes, we are to be offensive to the world. Yes, we should be angry at the world because they are our enemy. The bible says be angry and sin not. The unsaved need to come up to our level, we shouldnt have to go down to there's and if they dont like it, thats just too bad. I do want them to be saved but I wont compromise the truth of God's word to do it. I will not fence sit

Amen.

So... all that love thy neighbor stuff - Moderator cut: edit You should look down upon your neighbor, offend them, be angry with them, let them know that you are much better than they are, and not love them at all?
Okay...

Yes we can't please God if we're trying to please the world, sit on fence and you fall off on the wrong side!

Okay...
You took that entirely out of context....I never said I was better than them but we cannot be soft on sin. I will have you know I witness to many people who have thanked me after they got saved that I cared enough to be hard on sin while loving the sinner. Its not easy being saved, its hard work

I think you made it perfectly clear how you feel about others in your first post. You will not stoop to their level - you don't care how they feel, they are your enemy, etc. I got it the first time. I think I'll pass, thank you.

Amen sanctified_4_life. I whole-heartedly agree with you...100%. The Bible tells us that those who love God keep His Commandments. Do you keep the Ten Commandments?...including the Fourth, in which God commands us to keep the Sabbath holy unto Him?

The truth is, sin is the transgression of the law of God...the law of God is the Ten Commandments. If you willfully transgress any one of them, you are not born again, and you are not a child of God, but a child of the devil.

Where do you stand?


In Christ's Love...and prayerfully in His truth,
Verna.
