Page 847 … to them to Christ
“We Christians will always try and lead [others] to Christ.”
Well, my Friend, I’m afraid I’m going to have to respectfully raise the “Not So Fast” flag on this one, because what you & yours are actually doing is leading people away from Christ – and either back towards the Love-killing laws of the Old Testament &/or further onwards towards the anti-Christian dogma of the (incorrectly) self-proclaimed “apostle” Paul … My dear, if you were truly trying to lead others to Christ, I would think that you would lead them towards his teachings (see Matthew 7:1-5 & Matthew 23:25-26), and towards his Gospel (see Matthew 10:7 + Matthew 24:12-14), and towards his commandments (see John 13:34-35 & Matthew 22:37-40), and towards his Way (see Matthew 18:3-4 & Luke 18:14). And yet you are clearly not doing so … Indeed, if you were truly trying to lead others to Christ, I would think that you & yours would first & foremost lead yourselves thereto!!!
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. And yet I say to you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven. For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? … Be perfect [in Love], therefore, just as [the Love of] your heavenly Father is perfect.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:43-48)
“For everyone will be salted with fire … And all flesh shall see the salvation of God” ~ Jesus Christ (Mark 9:49 + Luke 3:6)
“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples … I give you a new commandment: that you Love one another. Just as I have Loved you, you also should you Love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples: when you show Love towards one another.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 8:31 + John 13:34-35)
“And as you go, proclaim the Good News: The Kingdom of Heaven IS at hand … And because of the increase of lawlessness, the LOVE of many will grow cold. And yet the one who endures [in LOVE] to the end will be saved. And this Good News of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world … and then the end will come.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 10:7 + Matthew 24:12-14)
“But blessed are your eyes, for they finally See;
and your ears, for they finally Hear.”
~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 13:16)
