NearertoGod

Just a random Bible verse I found on Inspirational Bible Verses and Quotes - Real. Powerful. Timeless.. This is [personally] my current favorite verse.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

__________________
Hebrews 4:12 (New Living Translation [NLT])
12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

Word is alive

Amazing to compare it to what society is today.

My daughter is a Christian girl who tries to live most of this scripture as she works with customers all day and one took particular exception to her behavior.

First time he came in and he snapped, " What the @##$ is wrong with you, did your parents raise you right or something."

He continued being rude every chance he could and one day as he drove away she noticed a not very nice anti-Christian bumper sticker.

Although his anger wasn't directed at her Christianity because he had no way of knowing, it was her kindness he couldn't bear. We thought it was pretty sad for him.

NearertoGod

It is sad.

But now she knows she was doing the right thing. Kindness is better than brutality.

Whatever this man's problem is, he needs to work it out with God, not your daughter.

He deserves prayer, doesn't he?

Yes, he sure does and thanks for the verse

Jasher

In my experience I find that the more opposed to God people are the more he has been working in their lives. The angrier they get - the closer they are to the kingdom. I see it as a good sign. Much better than indifference for example.

3nails+1cross=4GIVEN

could you please elaborate more on this?
when the non christians are hostile towards us,does it mean they've seen something they can't deny,and are on the verge of converting?They are waiting for the sign to join us?

Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.

Ramsey

this means that they're filled with the evil one. and they're not indifferent, because they hate us with a passion. well not them, but the spirits inside of them.
So they try to persecute us in any way possible.
By doing so, the spirit inside them will be happy that he's feeding on their minds and hating a godly man/woman.

Like Paul in the Bible, he was very hateful and killed many people for being Christ's followers, but he was converted by the mercy of God and His love.
So if we show these people love while the situation is presented in front of us, it would maybe soften them up and one day they'll think about it more and more, and their confusion starts

Basically, those who hate Christians have a passion of trying to get rid of Christians right? so the more deep they get, the more close they might get to find God somewhere

but that doesn't work for everyone, only whom God wills it to work on, but I understand what Larry is trying to say. Let's see what he says
(I hope I'm right here :P)

So true Larry II.....They seem to be the people who have had a lot happen to them as children and have not dealt with it and have let bitterness take over in their lives. They have pushed it all down so to speak. But of course when they are not Christians , they don't understand why they are so angry . They don"t understand the forgiveness at the cross.
