Rom 3:23-26
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. KJV
What part of all do you not understand? It seems to me that a preacherintraining could find something positive to say about the lost.
You were justified
freely, which means you don't deserve it, by God and this gift is available to
all who believe. What did Paul say about this?
Rom 10:11-15
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! KJV
If you are indeed a preacher in training don't you think you should be preaching the gospel and not condemning what you don't understand? Jesus gave us two commandments; preach the gospel, and love your neighbor as yourself.
This thread does not reflect the love of God, the gospel, or indicate you love yourself since you hate the lost.
