I hope that many people reading this, will look into their own hearts and souls (as I do mine) and ensure that they are indeed in the faith, that they have made their peace with God. That they have accepted Jesus as their own Saviour and thanked him, for taking on the sin and the penalty that was not his, but paid by him out of pure Love, for this broken, hurt and rebellious world.

I agree but that can be very difficut when our Lord and Savior is portayed as double minded when it comes to Love . How can the worshipper who is called to draw near have confidence in a god who is double minded ?

So we now know you are one of the chosen.

One of the main attributes i can gather to be a chosen one is to hate sinners . Which god chose you .

One of the main attributes is to hate those who are Gods enemies, who , yes, happen to be sinners too, very proud and arrogant sinners who think they Gods people like pharisees did..but they only take Gods name in vain..

ps 139:

19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.


20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

So is God..ps 5:


5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thats why they will hear these words shortly Matt 7:

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Same premise as Jesus rebuking Satan while staring into Peter's eyes. I believe we will be pruned of unrighteousness much like an oven brings to the surface all of a precious metal's impurities - you know the work's complete when you can see your reflection in the product.

He will see His nature in us.

Yes, we cannot be preaching only the Good Lovingly parts of our Father. We must be preaching the bad parts about us, and what seperates us from this Love.
