Letter: Hell hath no fury like a Christian just shown the Truth : And Gen 3:15?
David:
The irony I found in the Church I was in before I left was that the Pastor would stand in front of the congregation and condem gamblers, drinkers, drug abusers, homosexuals, people having intercourse outside of marriage, law breakers, anyone who "is not saved" etc etc. I used to sit there thinking "well, all of the sins you condemn these people for are forgivable, your sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit is not."
This scripture springs to mind Luke 12:47And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

Excellent post David. It is the biggest irony in life that the ones who claim to be believers of God don't believe His very words.
Dave-in-PA:
Roy, You're so right about Ray's resiliency. He definitely is my hero! ;D
Martinez:
Here's what I think is a spiritual match for that enmity.
Joh 8:44 Ye, are, of your father—the adversary, and, the covetings of your father, ye choose to be doing. He, was, a murderer, from the beginning, and, in the truth, he stood not; because truth is not in him: Whensoever he speaketh falsehood, of his own, he speaketh; because, false, he is, and, the father of it.
Those in the Christian church are the serpents seed and are certainly carnally minded.

Can Someone help my understanding of this scripture??
Who is this servant?
Luke 12:47And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
