...(unless He claims direct responsibility for it, which I rather doubt will happen.)
How do you think the idea for the video came about in the first place? It was HIS idea, I was the instrument He used, and YOU are one of the ones it was meant for. And if you will examine your all's reaction to this video you will notice similarities to how the Scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees all reacted to the ministry of Jesus in His days on Earth.
My scripture quotations are not out of context...they say what they mean and mean what they say all by themselves. I could do a lot better job of convincing you of my points if I DID decide to take things out of context.
As for other "takes" on Christianity, there are none.
John 14:6 reads
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."Acts 1:8 says that "...ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."See what that says? I've got the Power to be a witness for Jesus "unto the uttermost parts of the earth". And you know what? That includes
www.threestooges.net. This is one of the places I am called to be a witness....to each of you on here. I am not interested in arguing. I am interested in seeing each of you that have not already come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ doing so. As a matter of fact, I'm going to pray right now for you...
Dear Heavenly Father:
I thank you and praise You for this day today. It is a day where I get to speak on Your behalf to these that do not know you as their Saviour and Lord. May they see through Your Word and by the conviction of the Holy Ghost on their lives that they are sinners and that the only way for their past wrongs to be righted is acknowledging You as God and accepting the completed work for redemption that Your Son, Jesus, accomplished on the Cross.
May each and every one that reads this come to know that there is a better life for them, and that life only lies in accepting Jesus as Saviour. Nothing they can do on their own can get them saved. They cannot buy it, earn it, work for it, inherit it, or "ride someone else's coattails" into Heaven. It has to come through You and You only.
For every one on here that is going through a bad relationship...be it with a wife, husband, mother, father, child, other relative or friend...may they see that You have the answers that they are needing, along with the mercy, grace, and understanding to heal those relationships.
Lord, should anyone on here be suffering right now through a physical disease, may they come to know You as the Healer that You are. May they see that You made healing available over 2000 years ago for every physical infirmity that their doctors haven't been able to fix in all of the offices and hospitals that they have visited. All they need to do is acknowledge Jesus as Saviour and You as their healer and believe that that healing is for them.
If anyone reading this is in financial difficulty, may they come to know You as their provider. Let them know that a covenant with You is a covenant of provision, keeping, protection, and safety. May they see that most of the money that they have given up in trying to "make their lives better" was needlessly spent. I pray that they come to know You as their "source" for a life that they can never buy or achieve on their own.
And Lord, I ask that those on this board whom You have been trying to get their attention over the past year or so come to finally realize through this post/prayer that YOU ARE SERIOUS. May this prayer be the "final straw" in their lives and they come to the conclusion that all they need to do is say "yes, God. I am a sinner and I believe that Your Son, Jesus, died to forgive me and save me at this minute in time". I pray this to you all because I know it. God has been dealing through the Holy Ghost into some of your lives for over 12 months now. Everywhere you look or in everything you hear is a word or a sight that brings your mind to the fact that you are a sinner and that God is drawing you to Him.
May all realize that "today is the day of salvation" and none of us are guaranteed our next breath.
Thank you for every life this is on this board. Bless them and keep them and let them know that You loved them so much that You sent Your only Son, Jesus, to die so that they might have life and have it more abundantly! You're right there for them THIS DAY, THIS HOUR, THIS MINUTE! May they not reject You again and may I have many new brothers and sisters in Christ!
AMEN!"
Now that, Dunrobin, was not out of context, my friend!
You can do your preaching on your own web site, not mine.
