Jesus was BROUGHT INTO THE GATHERING OF THE ungodly. If he had gone to feast with them, mingling with them while they disparaged his Father Abba, then this your post will hold water sir.

See, these people are disrespectful to Jesus, so, i will try to do what Psalm 1 warns.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psalm:1:1

You try to.lit a candle, the demons in them who hates the lights begins insulting Jesus.

They hate light because their acts are darkness. Let them enjoy their darkness.

What was Judas? Godly or ungodly?
Bros nah. Judas was added to the fold to fulfill the Master Mission on earth. The Master said to the Disciples, 'Did i know chose the 12 of you? But one of you is a thief'. Jesus picked him knowing he was a thief.

See? I had a problem with that sometime ago. I asked the Master why He picked Judas know he was a thief.

He asked me to define 'Betrayal'. I did. He went on to say. If someone who is not an insider, someone who eats with you on the same table, sleeps with you in the sane house, Knows when you come in or go out. Someone you trust betrays you, it won't be counted as betrayal.

For it to be painful, then the person must be close and trusted. He went to on to say, He gave Judas the office of money management for him(Judas) to exhibit his trait and be justified as a son of perdition.

With all the teachings, signs and wonders he saw the Master performed, he remained a thief. Be knew the Master could read thoughts and know what is in our minds, but he went on stealing. Not once was he rebuked by the Lord. All these was to proof that he was an irredeemable Son of perdition. A Seed of satan just like must of the goons in this thread.

cheesy. Ues He did. But His attitude while in their midst should tell us more. Did He did become part of what they said or did in that gathering? No. He ignored them for the most part. I actually followed you into here. I read your comment so i had to see what the ungodly said. Don't get me wrong, i have issues with them doing their things, but am not obliged to join them. I owe them one thing, 'Prayers', that i do and leave them to Him who has the Power of conviction.

No, He lifts us up from our filth. He says, Come unto me..., we walk up to Him. He never went down to do what sinners do just to save them.

Yes, with those who when He calls, they respond. When He saw Levi in the Revenue office and said 'Follow Me', if he had declined, they won't be a book of Matthew today.

Two can not work/walk together except they agree.
[quote author=MuttleyLaff post=64879278]
Jesus humbles Himself and goes to down to any level, to build relationships
Yes, but only with those who accepts His call. Remeber the parable of the Feast? The Master prepared a Banquet for His Son, and invited His friends, but they gave excuses why they couldn't attend. What did he do? He invited another set if friends who came and tigtether they built a relationship. You cant be in love with someone who doesn't want you.

MuttleyLaff:

He calls out, we respond, then a relationship ensues.

What is the title of this thread? These are men who have spat on the Master's face and call Him a fraud .We are not talking about some folks who have never heard of the gospel, they have. Their parents are Christians, mostly. Whether or not they were raised well, being trained in the way they shd go, it's a different story for another day.

I wasn't raised a Christian, my parents were Catholics who didn't know and didn't care about the state of my Spiritual life, but i answered the call when i heard jt. Am not saying am better than them. But am saying, i must not keep tbeir company..

I'm still your sister and i love you in Christ.

Done that. There seems to be a lot of hate in those posts.

Religion or not, something can work for you only if you keep believing and practicing it.

We were taught to brush our teeth and comb the hair. We believed it and have been keeping to the habit. The moment we stop brushing the teeth etc, we begin to attract dirt and ultimately illness, discomfort, death.

It is the same with religion. The problem is finding the true path. Nothing is easy in this world, including religion.

I'm a Christian. I've tasted God. I can't deny the power in Christianity.
