For a deeply serious thought, I would like to compare three passages of scripture and ask two questions.
“For if God SPARED NOT THE ANGELS THAT SINNED, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And DELIVERED JUST LOT, VEXED WITH THE FILTHY CONVERSATION OF THE WICKED:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)” (2 Pet. 2:4-8).
Compare with:
- “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is A SHAME EVEN TO SPEAK OF THOSE THINGS which are done of them in secret” (Eph. 5:11-12).
- “A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left. 3 Yea also, when he that is a FOOL WALKETH BY THE WAY, HIS WISDOM FAILETH HIM, AND HE SAITH TO EVERY ONE THAT HE IS A FOOL” (Ecc. 10:2-3).
My questions:
- WHY DO SHAMELESS FOOLS TODAY CONSTANTLY REMIND EVERYONE OF THEIR CURRENT OR PAST WICKED LIFESTYLES? (Jer. 6:15; Jer. 8:12)
- When (or IF) these blinded souls “repented” and were baptized into Christ, did they not turn from those wicked ways and leave them behind?
All one has to do is join FaceBook to read the messages there and be shocked (Jer. 6:15; Jer. 8:12).
