John 3-4

[wolfpurplemoon]

This guy Nicodemus must be the first person to have had the natural reaction to being told you have to be born again to get into heaven, um, how? Which reminds me of that joke, "If you're born again do you have two belly buttons?". Jesus says that you have to be born of water and spirit to enter the kingdom of God, sounds easier than what Nicodemus was imagining.

So, God loved the world so much he gave his Son, but only so that the people who believe in him can be saved, in fact those who don't believe are condemned. This God guy sure is loving.

Jesus pulls off a trick that is the bread and butter of every so called psychic's act, telling someone he just met details about their life that he couldn't possibly know. He tells a woman that she's had five husbands and is currently living with man she's not married to.

"This God sure is loving"

[diana ferrer (from livejournal.com)]

Let's say a man deeply in love with his girlfriend gives her an engagement ring as an act of love. She would have to accept the ring in order to accept that act of love that he is giving her. If she doesn't accept it, it doesn't take away from the love he has for her. It just means she made a choice to reject his love. Just the same way the world even though Christ gave his life for ALL of us, not all will be saved BECAUSE many have rejected HIS love. FYI that's why the bible talks about Christ coming for His Bride, we (who have accepted Christ) are the engaged bride waiting for our Bridegroom. =) I pray that you hunger more for the Lord and truly come to know Him one on one. Take care!
