Pamela -
Thank you for sharing this with us:
--- Quote from: Musterseed on January 23, 2017, 06:10:32 PM ---As I write, I am shaking. I experienced today something you have all talked about. Babylon.
I went to visit my friend today who has fourth stadge breast cancer. So sad, she looks like a
Holocost survivor, so frail. I love her and although we were able to have a few laughs and talk about friends and family, I really wanted to quell her free of dying which she has every right to do
because she doesn't know the truth. Out of love for her , I decided to tell her about God raising the dead, salvation for all, how God will leave no one behind. She said" how do you know"? I said
It's written in your Bible, it's scripture, God's word. God's promise." I naively thought she would
Ask me to read it to her..... She is a Baptist, hell believing , tither. I did not know this. She never spoke about this in the four years I have known her. She just said she believed in God. ...Well...
the beast arises even from the sick and dying. She went up one side of me and down the other, emediately I thought of the many warnings, I read here, do not throw your pearls. I was devastated, she say exactly what I have read in Rays papers, "well if God is going to save all, why can't we all just sin? Your bible is not like mine, everyone interprets differently, etc, etc. And
I could not believe my ears when she said" I hate the Catholics", I told her God says we must love our enemies ,I felt so bad because here is my friend possibly going to die soon and I upset her. I feel terrible. Right away I called to Jesus and told Him I was sorry and help me. I apologized to Beverly, kissed her and changed the subject.
Thank God the VON nurse and her husband came, I just wanted to leave.
I felt like dung, walking home, how could I do such a thing?😞 I was ashamed.As soon as I got home, I went to BT
General Dicussions, clicked on a random number and this thread.
Ninny. Re. Wow. July 10, 2009. About Ray getting better
Someone had a post Philippians 1:15... "Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.
Vs. 16...The latter do it out of Love knowing that I am put here, for the defence of th Gospel.
Thankyou Jesus. Lesson learned. I'll never do that again unless I am asked directly. I am much calmer now, Thank the Lord.He is so good. I do not like Babylon. Thanks to all here on this forum,
It is a soft place to fall. I hope I planted an itty bitty seed today. God Bless You all 🙏🏼 Pamela

You did exactly what He intended you to do.
Your motives were pure.
Truth is Truth.
Your friend appears to have a lot of unforgiveness in her that has led to bitterness and hatred.
He judges the intents of our hearts.
Pamela, you are Guilty as Charged in Fact - you told The Truth to your friend.
I know what it is to be treated like this by colleagues, friends and family.
The pain will go away, and you must only feel guilty or bad if you have done something wrong.
Only He can Reveal The Truth of this incident to you, Pamela.
Warmest Regards.
George
Musterseed:
Thankyou for your response and kindness George.
I continue my humble journey and every hour of every day is a struggle of learning to endure.
Sometimes I forget that I have a suit of armour. This is another day, one more closer to the Lord
And another adventure.
🙏🏼 God Bless You George. Pamela
Porter:
1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
1Co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
Maybe part of the lesson is in learning "a more excellent way" to show the truth. If I share my knowledge and don't have love, it's worthless.
1Co 13:1 If I speak the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
1Co 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so that I can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
1Co 13:3 And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
1Co 13:4 Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited;
1Co 13:5 does not act improperly; is not selfish; is not provoked; does not keep a record of wrongs;
1Co 13:6 finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth;
1Co 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
We know that the best way to show our love is by doing things for people, and sacrificing ourselves in some way. Like Jesus who said there is no greater love then to lay down your life for your friends; And then He did the ultimate deed as we all know. We don't have to literally die to show our love, but we can put our personal needs and wants aside for the betterment of someone else.
So I think sharing our knowledge is ok, but it's nothing compared to showing our love through good deeds done out of love; that is the more excellent way.
1Jn 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Thanks Pamela, your post caused me to remember what I've learned here, which in turn caused me to gain a better understanding through this little study I was inspired to share.
You can still show your friend you love her Pamela in a way that may be more beneficial to her. May God grant us all a love such as He has.

Mr Dear Pamela -
We must never forget that all our emotions, thoughts, pain, suffering, hurt, feelings, are not physical:

He puts us through His Consuming Fire, from time to time, and He does not let us have a way out - as He has determined that we must walk and suffer through these trials.
He is building up your character to be like His, Pamela.
Perhaps, you should search out your heart's intent in that situation, and see it for what it is.
The desire to do Right and please Him, was put there by Him, and Him alone.
I feel alone, totally alone, at times like these, and I suffer so, but we all know that He will never leave His Elect nor forsake them.
Perhaps, you should now gently place your yoke and burdens on Him, and let go - and wait patiently for Him to gently guide you into The Truth of this matter.
Warmest Regards.
George
