Thank you nvrgbk,
Don't most Christians believe that those that don't believe in God as taught in the Bible and that don't accept Jesus as their personal savior will perish violently when He returns?
I would presume to say you are right, however what most if not all of us who claim to be Christians dont take in consideration is that NO ONE knows God's mind, yes the scriptures do say certain things that would lend one to believe your claim as highlighted above, but whatever God is going to do, no one is going to stop and as Abraham came to appreciate, in Gen 18:25
25 Surely you wouldn’t do such a thing, destroying the righteous along with the wicked. Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldn’t do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”
There is a huge difference between someone who us truly wicked and people who are so scarred, disillusioned or whatever that God can read the heart and determine who is truly righteous. Religion loves to judge, as one does this either individually or organizationally, they are setting themselves as God and removing Christ from his "appointed" throne. We can have our thinking or feelings, but truly only God and Christ knows the heart and why we act, speak, think or motivated in the way we are. Best not to be making spandex comments. Either way!!!! I for one will let it in God's hands, I am not fit to judge myself yet along others. It amazes me how many still carry remnants of witness thinking within themselves. It really was and is a brainwashing and now for those of us that have left, need to do another brainwashing, for me the only way possible for that is to TRY and get God's thinking on a daily basis, fighting my own personal demons and the witness teaching for 22 years, it has taken time but I no longer see things as the witnesses and especially when it comes to the outcome of humanity.
Respectfully,abr
