  • @PepoCanica It says in Isaiah 53 that "it pleased the LORD to bruise Him",speaking of Jesus. Jesus walked this earth for over 30 years and when he was crucified, roman soldiers divided his last few earthly possessions.

    Christ says in Matt. 10:24 that the disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. If it was Gods' will for His own son to die on a cross would it not be arrogant of us to expect better treatment?All that live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution 2Tim3

  • @mambochief Don't get me wrong. I like it when I get things. If the whole world brought me gifts and served me, i'm sure I would enjoy that. But MY enjoyment isn't the central issue. Christ is.

    And Christ promised persecution for followers of Christ. No, I don't want that. It sucks. But it will happen.

    And if u tell someone: Come to Christ and get $, then when the promised persecution comes they say "hey, I was lied to. I thought $ was here." Then they fall away, like grass w/o roots.

  • Love this

  • Powerful stuff there.

  • @Sasha32659 I go wherever the my Father tells me too!

  • @AmbitionzAzAWriter I understand that Jesus died for the sins of ALL, but if you walk into the territory of a hostile nation, preaching the Gospel, the people will destroy you. After they kill and mutilate you, they will be just as muslim as before you came. I believe that's what Matthew 7:6 means.

    Are you willing to die to preach the Gospel in a hostile muslim nation? If not, take the plank out your eye and your head out of your (you know where).

  • @Sasha32659 Jesus said that only because He was to reconcile the House of Israel back to God but they rejected and so now ALL are clean even Gentiles. Jesus died for all not just the ones worthy of His time...take the plank out of thy eye

  • He is saying just the thruth! The bible is very clear.

  • @lovece7 What crawled up your snatch and died? Why are you so friggin rude to people, anyway?
