I wonder if you really do know in whom you believe, whose will you are promoting, and who will keep you. If you truly knew, and were aware of the fact that it’s not too late, I’d like to think you’d choose to serve God. But I guess not everyone does.

Nice to know you are not my judge! Your spirit of discernment is lacking a little... and your zeal is prone to overwhelming God's will!

At what point is God no longer Sovereign? When does the need to keep a body warm, when the soul is looking for it's rest, become the goal? How is it compassionate to see someone lay inert for years, while you (?) hope for him/her to arise and walk? Where is the faith that reaches out and commands the body to be whole? Why is it so much easier to provide a feeding tube? Why is it murder if none is given, or if it removed to allow God's will? Oh, I forgot, you are apparently an arbiter of God's will.

Typing Scripture is easy, but testing faith requires another level of discernment! Faith without works... or lack of faith...which is worse? Gnashing of teeth changes nothing. Try sack cloth and ashes.

Read about Smith Wigglesworth and get back to me. I haven't arrived yet, but his is a pattern to emulate.

...As I look into the 12th chapter of Acts, I find that the people were praying all night for Peter to come out of prison. They had a zeal but seem to have been lacking in faith. They were to be commended for their zeal in spending their time in prayer without ceasing, but their faith, evidently, did not measure up to such a marvelous answer. Rhoda had more faith than the rest of them. When the knock came to the door, she ran to it, and the moment she heard Peter's voice, she ran back again with joy saying that Peter stood before the gate. And all the people said, “You are mad. It isn't so.” But she constantly affirmed that it was even so... -God-given Faith

It has nothing to do with judging you. I want everyone to know about God’s love. I’d like for you to accept His love. When and if you do, His light will shine through you, and be visible to others, just as you are able to recognize His followers, so you know who to verbally attack for loving Him and following His commandments. You’re not the only one who can recognize the presence of God. If you would only accept Him as your master, you’d see more than just His presence. Just invite Him in, and you’ll see.

Btw, providing warmth to another living person is part of God’s love. Denying comfort to another, in pursuit of their untimely death, is something your master should never ask of you, and you should never comply with such a request.

That’s an interesting link you provided, to back up what I’ve been saying, and negate your own claims.

In one of his sermons, he says “There is a power of God and there is a power which is of Satan.” Then he goes on to explain how easy it is to recognize the difference. He tells about some fakers who came into church pretending to be Christians, but were actually serving Satan and mocking God, like you do.

He explains that once a person is baptized in the Holy Spirit, they will follow God, not Satan. If they’re not adhering to God, then we know they don’t have the Spirit within them.

Thank you for providing a link in support of what I’ve been saying.

Is THIS God's Will? Because it seems pretty clear about food and water for the sick.

31 And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. 32 And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. 34 Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:

36 Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. 37 Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? 39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? 40 And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.

46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.
-- Matthew 25:31-46
