Actually Paul's keyboard were pretty jaw dropping. He did a soul portrait of those present, and the first few measures brought tears to my eyes. But you'll never show up so not to worry.
"This is NOT an attempt to proselytize or convince others to become Christians." I have no problem with your personal faith or belief system, but you are in fact on a mission of proselytization.
You are attacking me and you don't even know me. You are making assumptions and you don't even know the facts. I posted this thread to share what I believe and why I believe it. Not to challenge you or anybody else for that matter. You don't have to like it. You don't have to believe it. But don't tell me that you think that I'm in error. Can you prove it with Scripture? Are you even Born Again? God does not choose to heal all of the time. Paul had a thorn in the flesh. Timothy had to drink a little wine for his stomach illness. My 3 year old son died last year while in the hospital. What you have stated makes no sense. People die everyday from illness because we live in a fallen world. God has not promised to heal all infirmaties until after the Resurection. I can see you have either not read all that I have posted or have not clearly understood.
Again you clearly don't understand Systematic Theology. Your eschatology is awful. You have simply made up your own doctrine concerning Johns writings. nowhere in the above verse does it relate to a denomination. It is talking about the state of the early church. You are beginnig to sound like you are involved in a Christian Cult or some type of counterfeit Revival? This thread is not intended to debate the above issue. If you would like to have an intellectual discourse on the aberrations of Christianity we can start a separate thread for that.
No the definition of proselytization is the act of conversion of someone into a different belief system. I'm only sharing my faith in an open forum.
