Re: To Hunter
“Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh” (Galatians 6:12-13, NIV).
You said:
"Anybody who stands in judgement who did not receive the free Gift of God for their salvation will lose their soul. It does not matter if they were a faithful Muslim who worshiped Allah or not. That free Gift of God is Jesus. He paid the price for the salvation of anyone who will accept Him. I tell people this message because I love them. Jesus said that if we do not believe that He is who He says He is that we will die in our sins. Jesus said He is God. Jesus said He is the Messiah. Do your Muslim friends believe that? Are you telling your Muslim friends the truth? On judgement day will your Muslim friends be able to continue to call you their friend? Or, sadly will they have to say you were not a friend of theirs at all because you did nothing to help them out of their deception? Will your Muslim friends say that you truly loved them and cared about them when they stand in judgement?"
I have no idea where you are coming from Rainy.
When I spoke about Muslims I was referring to a time many years ago when I served my time in the armed forces over 50 years ago in the Middle East.
Somehow you have changed that into what today's world.
I am not going over old ground to justify myself but I simply say this to you.
In all religions there are many that do not follow the word of God irrespective to whatever religion they follow.
You tell me that the path is through Jesus only.
Well your entitled to think that but then you throw a spanner into the works and say that Allah is not the true God.
Well you go and tell that to a Muslim face to face.
I say that not because Muslims are my friends it's because I respect a persons beliefs as long as it is righteous.
One more thing: You wrote,
"To all the people that ever thought that I am a people pleaser all I can say to that is that you never knew me from the beginning. I have never compromised my beliefs to be a people pleaser in my entire life! Someone on here once told me that I have changed or that they now see a new rainy or along those lines. You never knew me. I don't believe in making unnecessary war. I believe in making peace as much as possible, but I would never sacrifice my beliefs for either of that or anything else including to make friends. I don't need friends that way nor do I want them. I want honest friends that I can express my true thoughts to and vice versa. Anything less then that is really no friend at all. They would just be an artificial flower in my life and a sick one at that!"
Well the same goes for me Rainy, believe me.
We have both been caught up in misinterpreting each other and many things have been said that should not have been said.
Main thing is that we are still talking to each other and I find that a healthy relationship in my book.
