The parable of the talents spells out that Christians are also given different rewards in keeping with their achievements. Gods system is a meritocracy.<br /><br />Why do you think that Christians are required to carry a cross, if not to build character?

In that parable, the workers who worked "long and hard" complain about the worker who comes in at the end of the project and earns the same wage. <br /><br />The fact is, one does not "build" the mind of God. One yields to Jesus Christ and uses the Holy Spirit. Depending on the individual Christian, that process can take a split second, or it can take a lifetime. The more time one spends in Armstrongism, it seems, the longer it takes, as the ACOGs foster an unhealthy pridefulness in one's "working long and hard" in complete contradiction to the parable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-33114344126819828562018-04-03T01:17:50.555-07:002018-04-03T01:17:50.555-07:00True Bread and BB

O...This was a very brutal thing to read and see...<br /><br />Over the years, my atheist friends seemed to find comfort in their minds that they could embrace a system of existence that did not require a Creator, and if no Creator, no judgement ie no burning in hell forever. They push back on the fact that every single one of us is being vetted and judged every second of our lives. I actually think that atheists become that way to psychologically escape that concept of vetting.<br /><br />Jerry Falwell said here years ago, when asked about hell, did he think little babies that died soon after birth were burning in hell, of which of course he had to say yes due to his belief system. Utter nonsense.<br /><br />There will be a conclusion to the entire matter sooner or later...and part of that conclusion is either become a team player and accept salvation, or become as you had never even existed to begin with....which is not acceptable. However as I have said for years, I am convinced that there will be those who hate the Creator so much that they will willingly go hopping, skipping and jumping into the Lake of Fire, to be instantly consumed and erased permanently. Sadly. Here at True Bread I say "Failure is NOT an option", nor should be, but sadly will not be the case. Some just will not make it, or want to make it, into immortality.<br /><br />Don't take the chance to pretend in your mind that there in no Creator, therefor no judgement...<br /><br /><br />I say choose life...<br /><br /><br />Here's a song for you, Dennis...one of my favorites:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiprqeaydik<br /><br /><br /><br />TK<br /><br />True Breadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630174767307245168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-28326117241455921012018-04-02T21:07:51.585-07:002018-04-02T21:07:51.585-07:00Also, Deut 18:22 is such a gas!

So when Christ didn't return in 1975, they fell away. BB is a good example of this. <br />Herb encouraged this belief with his incessant 'in the name of the living God, I tell you that the end is in 3-5 short years.' He did this to boost church numbers. <br />That he was playing games with peoples eternal lives meant nothing to him.<br /> <br />In fact, Herb repeated the same lie that Satan told Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.

It was through Jesus Christ that we are given the gift of salvation. You can't qualify for it, and you can't earn it, and you'll never be worthy of it, EVER. All the work in the word anyone does doesn't amount to a hill of beans if they think that it's going to qualify them to set foot in Jesus' Kingdom. The whole Armstrong "qualifying" business is the biggest load of horse crap to hit the Gospel. To teach someone can qualify of their own works for salvation is an ignorant perversion of the Gospel of Grace. <br /><br />The split second someone approaches Jesus Christ with their "qualifications", it will take but a millionth of a second more to realize how worthless they are. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-33221202141845485642018-04-02T16:04:23.333-07:002018-04-02T16:04:23.333-07:00Anon said: "Wow, if Dennis would funnel the s...Anon said: "Wow, if Dennis would funnel the same time and effort that he puts into these crown stealing articles into Christian growth, he would qualify for the kingdom.<br /><br />You're crown is safe unless you are insecure in your faith when disturbing facts knock on your door.<br /><br />Also, I'm thinking you have more extra time than you can possibly imagine to prepare for your finals.<br />DennisCDiehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417850852638492246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-84410953019835053152018-04-02T14:38:30.401-07:002018-04-02T14:38:30.401-07:00Neo 9:39

"God doesn't stop it on your timetable" is the standard apologetic like given for no Second Coming in the first century as advertised. "Don't you know one day with God is as a thousand years". Rather than have the Apostles of the first century admit to being mistaken, they and we tend to come up with redefining what "soon" means. It doesn't really mean soon. It means soonish kinda we'll see, stay tuned. We might be in this for the long haul soon. <br /><br />That God does not stop or work on our timetable is the same way of admitting , though respectfully, that we seem to be on our own when it comes to staying out of harms way and being the victim of psychopaths.
