What will happen to those who teach eternal hell?
Rhys 🕊:
I wonder sometimes what we will do in certain situations. I recall when I was in my early 20’s I was involved with the church in missionary work overseas and I think we were in the middle east or near it. Well we were preaching up a storm and a group of male Muslims came closer to hear what we had to say and they didn’t look too happy. Well for some reason they singled me out wanting to ask me some questions. I don’t know why they wanted me as I wasn’t the one speaking at the time. They seemed quite aggressive but I felt I should go and talk to them even those in the group said don’t but I felt something pulling me towards them, was praying at the time reminding the Lord what some of these aggressive Muslims do to Christians but felt God saying all would be OK. I am thinking at this point I am going to die and I feel pretty sure one of them has a knife. I started talking to them while thinking please don’t kill me. They told me in a aggressive way they were all highly educated in religion with degrees and everything else and I didn’t know that much. I felt I should ask them what questions they had with my limited knowledge, asking God at the time why did I say that for and I don’t think I will have answers to there questions, reminding the Lord at this time that this is me we are talking about here I don’t have there answers and said to God might need some help here. They started to ask a question in a we are not very happy with you state and I thought I don’t even know what you are talking about and which one of you has the knife. Suddenly the answers came to me and I answered all of there questions which seemed to take around an hour. They were all impressed with my great knowledge and understanding of the scriptures which I never knew I had and thanked God for speaking through me. They were also all calm, it’s like we are friends now. They thanked me for sharing and I was just glad I didn’t have any knife wounds.
I feel it is good for us to learn and seek God in our understanding but we should also trust in god that He can use us at whatever stage we are at.
God bless

Rhys, that is a wonderful and very funny story. haha! I can see me thinking the same things as you were. Thank you for sharing!
Gina:
p.s. Every Muslim I've known personally has always been so mild mannered and well-educated, I had to laugh at your "balloon" thoughts about them carrying knives. lol I meant no offense. I hope they weren't really and truly carrying knives. And I'm thrilled at the way that ended for all involved.
God Bless.
Over and Out!

No knives just felt like one of those situations of what have I got myself into here, just the way they came across. Cheers ???

hi rhys. i was thinking about your statements noted above and wanted to find the Scripture that i remember reading before, which came to mind. i found what i was thinking of in matt. 10:16,19-20, where Jesus was instructing His apostles before sending them out to the lost sheep of israel.
matt. 10:
16. - "behold, i send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless (simple) as doves.
19. - "but when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak. for it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you."
anyway, i just wanted to say i enjoyed your post.
