Its a good thing that Jesus didn't think of it like that, otherwise not many would have known Him or got to hear Him. He faced the world head on, and didn't avoid confrontation.
Its trust in God, and thinking about God and His word that inspires me to not want to just sit here to myself and avoid the truth from others. Its also God that inspires me to get off my butt and do something with these opened eyes. I Thought I am not to just give up just because all will be in heaven, all will be saved, etc. I'll say it again that debating and arguing is not what I'm talking about even though A lot of people hearing gets to hear both sides and rule out the facts and truth, but its God that opens the eyes even in debates. Also I am in no way suggesting debating on this forum. The forum is good just the way it is. But for me as a part of the body of all like minded brothers and sisters, I feel in my heart that I should be right there helping them, even if its just support.
I don't struggle with the scriptures nor disbelieve them, but I do struggle with doing nothing and thinking that this is as far as it goes for knowing the truth, coming out of Babylon, sitting and studying and just talking to each other waiting for someone to come my way and hope for an opportunity to share some things I've learned. So many times I've read here that they have a desire to tell the truth to others but somehow it gets to be oh well I shouldn't go there so I'll just settle down and set up camp, this is as far as I'm going, maybe someone will come by, oh I just can't wait. Some fall on their face and think I'll never do that again, but thats how I myself learn, I fall and get right back up and continue until I learn to walk. I learn from my mistakes and its God that is in control, picking me back up.I could just say, "God I trust you so much that I'm going to sit here and do nothing because you are in control and I can do nothing without you and what you do for me and show me I'll keep it to myself because I don't know but just a little and it will only be that when You have shown me a lot or everything that I will go about sharing.
I'm simply asking where is the body, and what is it doing to help a brother that shares what he knows. No reason to get defensive about this. I'm really curious what good is a body if it does nothing. This isn't about going against scripture or forum rules. Its about something that I think is in the heart of a lot of people that just sort of got comfortable with thinking; what difference does it make, I can't even make a choice thats free.
Hell No is doing what has been laid on his heart. He shares the truth for all the world to see. People come against him and he accounts for what he knows. We sit back some of us and cheer him,some of us probably even judge him thinking he is wrong for the discussions he gets into. He is exposing those who contradict. What is wrong with that, or with wanting to support a fighting brother, debates and arguments or not?
