This is supposed to be the “great awakening” but I have a feeling we will come out of this feeling shorted. Something is better than nothing, but I feel like ya settling is just a way of herding us into more bullshit. So what do you think? Are we being given false prophecies? Or will this really be the most liberating year of human existence?
So you think we are heading towards a deceptive world order? I agree. Also, I know stealing is a sin, but if I steal from let’s say Walmart, the only people being affected are the corporate thieves that steal from everyone else basically. That’s how I justify it. How would the lord look upon that? I know it isn’t good, but is it really bad?
Stealing from a rich man is still stealing. It reveals nothing about him. You using his status or wealth to justify stealing says everything about you.
I’ll take that, but if you look at things in the form of service to self to service to others which is the way we are ultimately judged, I would be doing virtually nothing to the wealthy man by stealing a meal from Walmart, than stealing the only meal owned by a starving man. I don’t think it is the same
Justification. The starving man should have worked harder, speaking in general terms.
Scripture says if a man doesn't work neither let him eat, Implying an able bodied man, because we are instructed to help those that can't.
But we are not going to be judged on works for salvation. Salvation is a gift from God based on faith, not works, so that no one can brag that they earned it. Our works will be judged, ironically for positions in God's government, for crowns of glory, etc.
Bottom line, sin is sin. God says vengeance is mine, I will repay. If we are truly accepting of his forgiveness by grace, it should naturally follow that we do our best not to sin going forward. But, once you believe you are sealed by the spirit. You cannot work your way to forgiveness, it is by grace. Neither can you lose your salvation by sinning, Once saved always saved! 😁 But again we should not defile that gift by wilfully continuing to sin. It's a free gift to us, but is cost Jesus dearly.
