When Christians are debating..


Recommended Posts

When there are christians that are debating their faith or personal life styles, can both of them be wrong. Can this verse apply to those that are making the wrong choice. 

Luke.6

  1. [39] And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?Jeremiah Tower Sunlight GIF by 1091

It's POSSIBLE that both sides could be on the wrong sides of a debate, though it's not something that usually occurs. There's three sides to every story/debate...yours, mine, and the truth....or so I've been told by many pastors. ?

What happens when both sides have much truth, do the highest percentage of votes always wins. It did not work for the abortions, issue here in the US. The lower percentage wins.

One can't account for the wickedness in  man's minds and hearts. Just as in the nation of Israel, right didn't always win out. That's the reason God had to keep judging the nation of Israel.

What doesn't matter is our opinions. What does matter is the Bible. If we are basing our beliefs on only part of the Word of God (not all of it), then we are wrong inasmuch as we are not seeing the whole picture.

Votes or majority opinion does not determine truth. It may work to pass a law or work for some committee, but that may or may not reflect God's Word - especially as we get closer and closer to the return of the Lord when less and less people want the truth. They have itching ears and want what pleases them, want God's Word only inasmuch as it fits what they already want or believe.

On a practical basis is for an individual or a church to search the Scriptures, see if what is being taught is according to it, and accept it only as much as it does - or reject it if it doesn't. Christian interaction is good if it leads to greater faith in and application of God's Word - not to allow for greater and greater diversity of opinion.

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Who is the repetitive thief?

If you mean the thief on the cross. He was saved, and went to Paradise (the form of Heaven before the resurrection of Christ). Now he is with all true believers in Heaven and we will see him with all of the other departed saved ones when the Lord Jesus Christ returns at the rapture.

I just realized you must have meant "repentant thief". I answered that anyway up above.

The question was not if he was saved (he was), but was he in the body Christ, (The Church)?

I AM THE OTHER THIEF

I am the other thief, I was on Calvary's hill
I saw the man called Jesus whom the soldiers killed
I heard the foul cursing, mockery and spew
And Jesus cried forgive they know not what they do
I felt the nails also for they were in my hands
Yet amid my pain and suffering I also cursed that man

I am the other thief; I was on Calvary's hill
II

I think upon my self-willed life while suffering on this cross

The people I have robbed and I care not for their loss

Curse the people down below and the Roman’s for their nails

May they amuse themselves at my expense and die and go to hell

I saw the man called Jesus whom the soldiers killed
111

There is another thief here with me going through the same

But now he has turned religious and calls on Jesus’ name

I with hate will curse them all until my dying breath

I have no love or guilt I just long for death

I heard the foul cursing, mockery and spew
1V

Now soldiers come to break my legs this will end my lousy lot

Than I’ll die and be dragged away to feed the worms and rot

That man called Jesus is already dead so they will not break his bones

Please hurry death and stop this pain, Oh life leave me alone

And Jesus cried forgive they know not what they do
V

I lift my eyes this can not be the suffering I thought would cease

These torments and the flames of hell will never give me peace

But what is this o’er a great gulf in Abram’s blossom I see

The other thief on the cross who suffered along with me

I felt the nails also for they were in my hands
V1

I belittle him for trusting and calling Jesus Lord

My only hope I mocked his salvation I abhor

There is Father Abraham he stands with these awaiting saints

For the full ransom to be paid and loosen the restrains

Yet amid my pain and suffering I also cursed that man
V11

Then I see Him descend with keys in nail scarred hands

It is true he is the Son of God and the only hope for man

He ascend upward with the captives he has redeemed

Now there is only us damned with gnashing teeth we scream

I am the other thief; I was on Calvary's hill
V111
The other thief there with me also shared the pain
But he cried Lord remember and his soul he gained
Now he no longer suffers, but I have this flame
If I could be only redo , I would do the same
Remember me; remember me, I remember well
Better to trust him on a cross then feel the flames of HELL

I am the other thief; I was on Calvary's hill
I saw the man called Jesus whom the soldiers killed
