THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF YOUR LIFE


This is the most important question of your life.


The question is: Are you saved?


Naw, I'm invested.

(Too obscure a joke?)


Not at all. For several years I had both a button and a .sig line
that said: "Jesus saves. Satan INVESTS!"

keep yapping about this ****?

Jesus also admonished to judge not lest you be judged.
-yep, but he didnt say "do not complain to someone who posts at your
newsgroup but doesnt talk there, lest ye be reposted the same thing
500000000000 times until you die"

"For in the same way you (post to) others, you will be (posted to),
and with the measure you (post), it will be (posted) to you. "

"Jesus also taught that Christians have an obligation to
tell the Good News. It is a duty; not an option. "

-Mathew 10:14 Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words--go
outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. If
Jesus's disciples teaching was rejected he just told them to shake the
dust off their feet and they just went on to those who would listen.
You arent very knowledgeable of the Bible for being what,..... a
pastor? That is great you desire to share the gospel with people. You
have given them plenty of "chances" for making up their mind and
sending the same email again wont do anything. Go dust off your email
and post somewhere else. Matter of fact why dont you share the gospel
with someone in person? Anyone can do it over the internet. That is a
pretty secure and non sacrificial thing to do which really just makes
you look self righteous.


You are correct in that there is a point where even Jesus advised
to waste no more time on certain unbelievers. However that assumes
that such unbelievers are identified as such.

So there are some unbelievers on a newsgroup who raise holy hell
at the thought of somebody posting religious material, it does not
follow that one continues to tell the good news to these sorry few.

There are many more who lurk or who consider without comment
the Good News and these people can still be reached and brought
to salvation.

Jesus admonished the devil to get behind him. Those who rail
and complain about a post they can just ignore are the Devil's
conscripts.
