I wonder how many Christians can recite the Ten Commandments?
I was talking with a man in church, and he said he was a Christian. I asked him when he was born again. He said, "What do you mean born again?"
I said, "When did you become a Christian?"
He said, "Well, my Mom took me to church, and i learned about God from her all my life. I did get involved in a rock and roll band for years though."
I asked him, "Did you do the whole nine yards? Drugs, sex, and rock & roll?"
He said, "Oh, yeah."
I asked him if he thought he was a christian during that time, and he said yes.
Well, we talked for 10 more minutes, and i told him to read John 3 about being born again.
he walked away. But he then turned and looked at me and said very firmly, "You should not judge me."
Wow. I said, "I'm wasn't judging you. i was talking about being born again, and about what our Lord Jesus said."
I haven't seem him since.
I believe the Church is full of unconverted supposedly converts. And that's scary. I pray the gospel will once again be preached in the pulpits with fervor and love.
Though that may be what it looks like in some "cyber short hand from a power of the air to a phone" in reality there is a direct "Word" from the finger of God to stone (that stone still exists, and I beleive and it is known where at this time) and yet the importance of it is so sadly missed!
By the way it is YHWH, Jehovah is a made up word.
