A word to the wise for all my Protestant and Catholic brothers and sisters:
Luke 9:49-50 “49And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. 50And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us”
My response to this, Jim Noble’s pacific post, was a simple “Amen”, agreeing that it is good to accept and respect others even though our beliefs are different.
I will not respond to your attempt to drag me into an argument with you.
God has called me, and all of us, to love.
I choose to love.
I completely understand why you'd back down.
Acts 19:13-17
13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” 14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”
16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
I just LOVE to post Scripture!
Oh; "...and to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints."
--Jude 1:3
