I watched a great film yesterday  The Conscientious Objector.  http://www.desmonddoss.com/

While I was watching I thought I was watching a story on one of the "Elect" of God.  It was miraculous and amazing the way God watched after this man as he served his fellow man, and the faith Mr. Doss displayed in the midst of persecution. 

I was reminded once again that being shown the truths of scripture, studying and becoming full of knowledge does not mean anything.  It is the living of our convictions and letting Christ live and show Himself in us that counts.  These people are scattered through the world and history, and they come from all religious backgrounds and races.

I think that the bottom line for anyone in any Religion regardless of intellectual acumen is as Ray teaches:

WE ARE ALL PRODIGAL SONS

You all know the parable. The son of a rich man wanted his inheritance NOW. And so he went into a far country and wasted his inheritance with riotous living—doing what seemed RIGHT in his own eyes. Enjoying life, having a good time. When he was physically and morally broke, he took a job slopping the pigs, and finally eating the slop of the pigs, himself. His selfish, carnal, house built on shifting sands FELL! "And GREAT was the fall thereof."

He had "left his first love" of his Father who obliged him in his "free will" decision to pursue his own happiness. But now, with his face in the watery slop of the pigs, he sees his reflection looking back at him—a BEAST—a man of great sin—a son in the state of spiritual perdition. What will he do?

He said:

"I will arise and go to my Father, and will say unto Him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before Thee, And am no more worthy to be called Thy son: make me as one of Thy hired servants… But the Father said to His servant, Bring forth the best robe [‘…for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints,' Rev. 19:8], and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand…

…[‘And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt,’ (Gen. 41:42-43). "To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me {second chariot from Christ}…" (Rev. 3:21), "And to he that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations {ALL of them, not just Egypt}]…

…For this my son was [spiritually] DEAD, and is alive again; he was LOST [pollumi—lost, destroyed, vanished] and is found. And they began to be merry" (Luke 15-11-24).http://bible-truths.com/lake14.html

Bestiality and error is found in every Religion on earth. Knowing who the beast is, is a first step.

Craig,
I am very familiar with Desmond Doss. He was a Seventh Day Adventist his story was truly amazing as he served and was awarded the highest honor while serving as a conscientious objector. He proved true to his Lord in that during combat he never carried a weapon as I remember and was there and served in the manner of Jesus! Putting others above himself and not fearing for his own life! Great story for sure!
