From my perspective as a Christian, Jesus Christ is our only hope, he is the only place we will have a lasting victory over our own nature, the world
that has us at odds with God and man, and the devil and his minions.

Like you say. I only notice a little speck of dust in mine.
believe this can be true for us, we can be blind to our own faults, we can
have major logs in our own eyes, and not be aware of them! Our pride can
keep us from admitting it, which is sad for us when that happens.
Look at scripture there were some that so hated Jesus that when He raised
Lazarus from the dead, it didn't move them, they not only wanted to still
kill Jesus, but Lazarus also! The hate and blindness that must have been
in those was so strong! So my prayer for me is that the Lord help me see
what is wrong with me, where am I blind, if I hold hate in me help me
repent of it!
John 12:
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him."
What good is it that we can do in this life if we have not love for others?
*1 Corinthians 13*
One thing we as Christians should always keep in mind, is that judgment
starts with us!
1 Peter 4:17
For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

"It is your sinful actions that make you deserving of Hell. It is not that you disagree with me. That could help though."

"Eternal separation from God results from choosing against rather than for the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. At the Great White Throne Judgment two books are opened: The Lamb's Book of Life and The Book of Deeds [Good Works]. Sin is never mentioned! Why not? Because Christ's substitutionary spiritual death satisfied the Father's Justice on behalf of mankind."

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyYou simply cannot bring yourself to disagree with RJHinds' assertion that divegeester is "deserving of Hell", can you? You just can't come out and say it. Instead, all you offer is pompous self-aggrandizing waffle. 😀

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIt's intriguing to see Grampy Bobby's interpersonal skills so hamstrung: unable to just come right out and dismiss or disagree with RJHinds' poisonous "Christian" cyber taunting, he is instead blithering on patronizingly to divegeester about going to see his "pastor-teacher". 🙂

Originally posted by divegeester to Grampy BobbyWhat if you should, as Grampy Bobby suggests, go to a "pastor-teacher" who happens to spew the same kind of oafish "Christian" vitriol as RJHinds does, and can do so in Koine Greek? Will Grampy Bobby then refuse to dismiss or disagree with your "pastor-teacher" as well? 😉
You seem to see yourself as a sort of "pastor" here. It's a pity your shepherding amounts to no more than avoiding challenging topics and copy/pasting various scriptures and your posts, supplemented by a seasoning of impractical platitudes.
