I have tried not to be offensive while posting here, but I also do not want to be "wishy-washy" about what God has said and to "sugar coat" it. Please do not take anything in the wrong way, because I mean no harm. I deeply care. As God's word says in 1 Peter 3:15 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear". This I have tried to do, because our eternal salvation is a very serious matter.

Sugar coat, no. Speak with love and tenderness, yes. I haven't read your post but it appears you are aware of it. Remember, communication is only as effective as the communicator. No one deserves to condemn as we also fall short of God's glory due to our sin.

You are correct, we all fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23 and I would never condemn or try to condemn anyone. I am only trying to help people understand God's word in Spirit and Truth. Sometimes it is hard for people to accept that they just might be wrong. I know because I used to be like that. I was brought up in a Baptist denominational church. It was hard for me to accept I was wrong all those years and my faith was in vain because I didn't follow all of Gods commandments.

It's not by our own doing anyway. It is the job of the Holy Spirit to convict and be saved. Just tell them and pray for them and then the rest is God's control...hard to do as we all love being in control. Humans are like that...it is why we sinned in the first place!

You've got some very good in-depth analyses from the topics I've seen you post in, and you express them eloquently. I enjoy reading your posts.

I understood that I had not obeyed the Gospel and the Will of God. I had not been fully obedient to all of God's commands.

If this was meant for me, thank you for the comment.

It sure was. Also, I just noticed

Yep, definitely a lot of watered down gospel preachers these days, have a look at this sobering word:

A real wake up call.

After seeing the other post, I agree. Lots of biblical based stuff which is great.
