If we ever meet, be sure to keep that monster wrapped around your waist or something. It looks painful.
And now, you priests, this warning is for you.
For you have done outrageous things.
Anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things so that I am profaned among them.
In my name you have uttered lies--which I did not authorize.
My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests.
Woe to you! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.
Woe to you! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside are full of greed and self-indulgence.
Woe to you! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?
Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning. Her prophets are unprincipled; they are treacherous people. Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law.
The LORD within her is righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame.
Ok pal, you've had your fun. If you're not a troll, what was going through your head when you thought to yourself, hey, I'll go to a fucking sociopath forum and preach to those people. Wasting your energy like that is sinning, you could have converted a few people on cooking forums by now.
How about you fuck off now. You had your chance, people rejected or ignored your stuff, there's only one thing left to do.
He said to the apostles, "If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake their dust off of your feet. This will be a warning to them."
what was going through your head when you thought to yourself, hey, I'll go to a fucking sociopath forum and preach to those people
But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.
Wasting your energy like that is sinning
Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge?
How about you fuck off now.
"If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong."
people rejected or ignored your stuff
Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.
If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town
and shake their dust off of your feet. This will be a warning to them.
Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you!
people rejected or ignored your stuff
The farmer sows the word.
Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop--some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown."
You're just a narcissist with a messiah complex, playing holy apostle to a bunch of people who'll end up hating the stuff you forcefeed them even more. This is the real reson you were drawn to this place, your type is the most common finding around here.
Best way to convert someone is to be a holy man yourself. Have you become one yet, pal? Have you learned and became everything God wanted you to learn and become, and now you're perfect enough to preach to others? Because you sound like one of those pushy, annoying, bible quoting little robots everyone wants out of their way.
This is the real reson you were drawn to this place
Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation of things. We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.
Have you become one yet, pal? Have you learned and became everything God wanted you to learn and become
For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Best way to convert someone is to be a holy man yourself.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
and now you're perfect enough to preach to others?
For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this.
Because you sound like one of those pushy, annoying, bible quoting little robots everyone wants out of their way.
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
