Why do some people believe and some do not?

[studier]

You guys have it as if Jesus goes window shopping and picks people out of coffins.

Succinct.

 

[sawdust]

That was merely a joke.

Then I hope you're not planning on becoming a standup comedian.

 

[sawdust]

Do you love the Lord for the things He has done for you?

btw I love the Lord for who He is, I don't much care what He does as I know it will always be the best for me even if it's something I don't like.

 

[Genez]

Then I hope you're not planning on becoming a standup comedian.

If you want to see something really funny?

Have him explain why it was a joke, and why it's funny.

If he tries?

That will be a joke.

 

[Genez]

Who says they person isn't saved? How do you know they haven't been quickened together with Christ?
Do you love the Lord for the things He has done for you?

If you perceive Him correctly, you should love the Lord for who and what he is.
Not for what he does for you...

Then I hope you're not planning on becoming a standup comedian.

And I hope your job doesn't include reading comprehension.

 

[Genez]

And I hope your job doesn't include reading comprehension.

I read your comprehension real good.

 

[sawdust]

Weren't you suppose to give a compliment first?

Read Psalm 150. We don't merely worship God for His excellent greatness. We also worship Him for His mighty works. If you are really really froggy, you might even worship Him for all His ways.

He did. He complimented himself before posting.

See Psalm 150.

I gave you a thumbs up. Were you not encouraged?

So... He parted the Red Sea for you.

Do you believe that Russia is located above Europe?

If you do?
You have faith.

Dumb.

Succinct.

Except you had to pick that mushroom out of a pile...

Who else was all God has done for??? Count yourself out if you like.

Salvation is not a mighty act? The answer to prayer is not often a mighty act?

I never "merely" worship God at all. Our Lord was not looking forward to the Cross but he was overjoyed about being reunited with His Father. If one's love for the Lord begins with what he does for them, they will come to grief. Our praise for what He does ought to come out of our love for who He is.

Hebrews 12:2
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy that was set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Faith is an unmerited ability we all have.
We all have faith.
You learned from your parents as a child by faith...

You have consistently added to a question I asked. The question was simply do you worship God for the the things He has done for you? Either you do or you don't.

It was never my intention to question whether you worship God. My apologies.

Grace and peace.

The proper motivation for worshipping God per the NT is the hope of heaven/salvation.
