Alvin, why you judge people?
Sorry, if you have that kind of feeling toward me, maybe I didn't express myself well. Bible, the Word of God is the one who judges people, not me, my friends. Actually, I just make Bible clearer for you, maybe all of this time you never open your Bible and read it. You just go to the church and listen to any preachers that preached. Without knowing whether they said something from their own wisdom or from the Spirit of God. Because you are still infant, or rather, spiritually dead.
Let me reason here
Do you know that every country has its own policy, rules? For example: In Indonesia, there are new rules about fining against bribery. If you do bribe the police when you broke the rule while driving your vehicle, you will be fined 10 million rupiah. Of course, Indonesia government need to propagate and publicly publish those rules first. It would be very unfair, if the police fined me 10 million rupiah when I tried to bribe him without government publicly published it. I can appeal to the court and I believe that I will win my case.
James 4: 12
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
Then, you said, 'Yes, Alvin, God is the one who will judge us, even though you have Bible, it doesn't necessarily you are the one who only right here, you won't say that you have the mind of God, right? Mind of Christ?'
1 Corinthians 2:15-16
John 16:8-11
John 16:13-14
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.
How about if they threatening you with knife on your neck? You said to me, 'Of course, Alvin, I choose to be a dead body instead of denying Jesus.' My friends, can I ask you something?
- You know Peter? One of Jesus' first disciples? He followed Jesus everywhere, He saw His miracles, everyday he was with Him. He can say everything while everything is in peace. Maybe you also like Him right now. You can say like Peter said confidently.
Matthew 26:33
Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will."
- Are you really sure about that, my friends? You never seen Jesus with your own eyes, you never seen His miracles, you even don't 100% sure that heaven and hell exist, Jesus was born and died on the cross 2000 years ago, Bible 100% true, world created in 6 days. Will you not be like Peter?
- I hope you are not a liar, because right now, If you are really love Jesus like that, ready to die instead of denying Him. Please go and preach, tell about Him to all your friends. Isn't doing that much more easy for you than beheaded, right? Is when people mocking at you more bearable than your neck was cut, or your body was burn, right? (God is ministering to me as well while I am writing right now).
- Why don't you do that? Are you choosing to be a liar now?
Many Christians and Catholics reasons...Alvin, there are many ways in preaching the Gospel, you can be a missionaris, pastor, preacher, reverant, etc. But for my own, I don't have that calling. Who said that? Is Great Commission only for the preachers, missionaris, pastors, etc? Are you not Jesus' disciples? You want to go to heaven, but you don't want to labor for it. You are too naive, my friends.
Matthew 28:18-21
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Then you give me argument: I am not a preacher, that for sure. But, I live righteous, no cheat, no lies, all my collegues know me as Christian. They called me good believer, even though there are non-believers. My question: Have you preached to them? (Again, God is ministering to myself)
Your righteous, holy life is one thing. But that's not Great Commission. That's the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Every believer should do that as well, in parallel with do Great Commission. You have to do both, my friends.
Matthew 5:13-16
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
You want to go to heaven? Do labor for God. God bless you
