Sincerely Wrong
Just a thought...
If God rewards them that seek Him, why would anyone who is HONESTLY and earnestly seeking the Lord, and who has confessed that Jesus is Lord in their life, in spite of what we say...
Go to hell?
Your thoughts?

Re: Sincerely Wrong
I think GO to Hell is a crude expression to start with!

Re: Sincerely Wrong
Most of the time...we do. Especially if we disagree with their doctrine (which still may be developing although they are seeking the Lord).

Oh, sorry. I thought you meant the Word said that somewhere.

That's the whole issue and something that gets overlooked. Everyone started out somewhere and if they are following after God, they are on a journey. We have to be careful not to crush their spirit along the way or ridicule where they are as the final destination. Of course, that is a whole different game, IMO, than someone who once had truth and embraced another Gospel. ( Galatians 3:1)

Re: Sincerely Wrong
Sometimes you don't know for sure that you HAD the truth...and then you start out seeking (not suggesting one should do that - as in trying out other false gods..etc.) but if I would not have looked for something deeper than what I was presented as truth, I would still be lost in tradition. (I was not brought up Apostolic).

You know, I am thinking that God was leading me more than I was seeking. Think that would be a bigger factor? I think that God leads us and we attribute that to something we have done on our own. After all, the Word says that we cannot come to God unless the Spirit draws us.
