Here's some more Scriptures for the man who preaches under the guise of tolerance a message that God is not actually calling anyone to repentance. The REAL Gospel message is an offensive message to many people. Why? Because it draws a line in the sand and says "there's a battle between good and evil being waged, which side do you stand on?". Some people love evil and are easily confused about what's right and wrong. Your message is attempting to blur the line between right and wrong.

Matthew 4:17 "From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

Matthew 10:
34“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.</SPAN> 35For I have come to turn</SPAN>
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’e</SPAN>
37“Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;</SPAN> 38and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.</SPAN> 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.</SPAN>


Sometimes people love sin more than God and that's why JC's message brings a sword. Nobody denies we must love people no matter what. And preaching this message is not a claim by the preacher that he or she has it all together. Finally, the REAL Gospel message says we'll all be judged based on which side we took in the battle between good and evil. The last thing I've come to do is condemn people. I've tried to tell them there's a path that doesn't lead to condemnation.

1 Corinthians 6:
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

I am very glad you have entered into this discussion. I don't think there could have been a better picture of what I was talking about.

You ignore everything against your position, and you purposely search for anything that may support your intolerance and arrogance.

Does the Holy Spirit convict the world of sin tis the question? If we want justification we can watch Jerry Springer!

As seen once on a board game: "In the battle between good and evil, evil has more fun". Since I am all ready evil in your eyes, and apparently also your god's eyes, I think I will just continue to have fun.

Putting aside the fact that I dismiss the idea of "sin," the answer is no. Depending on what parts of the NT you read, you can "sin" all you want, and ask for forgiveness, and you are forgiven from "sin." With those standards, it seems like the holy spirit's conviction rate would be very low.

For you this could possibly be true. If you don't walk by conviction you also won't sense any conviction!
