Are you trying to threaten my salvation?

To be threatened, actually has to be there in the first place!

 

In other words, you questioned her salvation based on her works? Fruit inspectors do tend to threaten other's status of salvation; usually according to their pet peeve sins... Good luck with finding that perfect woman.

 

Sounds as if her life has been full of hardships. There may be a reason that she never married. Or perhaps, she's been taken advantage of and never met a man who was willing and able to help her turn her life around...

 

Must of been an Arminian Baptist...

 

Maybe they are from a Calvinist background and feel all these things are predestined and beyond their control? As a matter of fact, reminds of a story about a friend I once had who was a very Calvinistic pastor. He’s no longer around though now. It seems he got caught up in an adulterous affair with the church secretary and this was going on for some time, although many were becoming suspicious. Finally, the suspicions spread and rumors reached his wife. When he got home that day he got into a huge fight with his wife and ended up hitting her so hard that she died. Later, after he had been found guilty and was about to be sentenced the judge paused to ask him, “What was going on in your mind when you found out you had killed had your wife?” Apparently, he said, “I was thinking WHEW, I’m glad that is over with!” I heard the judge threw away the key...

 

I worked with a young man once years ago that would alternate between talking about church/religious things and hitting the clubs and the women he had bedded.

I confronted him about it, privately. He told me his pastor had informed him that God understood that when you are young you must sow your “wild oats” so that when you got married you would be faithful to your wife.

We had a long talk and I really do believe he knew what he was doing was wrong all along and needed someone to show him the truth of scripture.

Always speak the truth in love, even if when folks might not like to hear what you say.

peace to you

 

that "pastor" advice was like when peter told Jesus that he would not face death...Answer to that pastor would have been the same "get thee behind me satan"

 

Um, I was a false Christian for 12 years. About four years ago I came to faith, and I was changed forever. Regeneration changes a person when the Holy Spirit indwells us. All fornicators and homosexuals who do so unrepently and die in their sins clearly never changed. They go to eternal condemnation. This is pretty straightforward in the bible.

 

There are tons of women who think after living a life sleeping around and having babies with other men, there should still be a beta-male willing to pick them up and marry them and their baggage.

I say it is better not to marry.

 

A cheater always cheats.
