Why do people receive all the positive from the Bible but reject the negative things that God says will happen? This makes me sad. We can鈥檛 pick and

Choose what we will believe. If we believe God, we must believe it all, not just the good. Also putting our heads in the sand won鈥檛 change it one bit if we choose to not believe God!

What God wants is for His followers to be totally committed to Him, not half hearted, He condemned the church at laodisea for being luke warm, we need to be on fire for God. He has to be Lord of all or not at all
TheWildEcho56-60, M
@SW-User yes I think it is , if we're committed to Him well not pick and choose what we want
SW-User
@TheWildEcho yes!!! It occurred to me that鈥檚 what you meant! 馃檹
SW-User
@TheWildEcho That was an excellent answer and it explains it very well! 馃槏

People want to believe it's easy. Jesus warned us that it would not be easy but churches would be empty if that's what they preached. They are preaching say the sinners prayer and you automatically go to heaven. I see many defending this position and are doing harm. Being saved is a process by which we are transformed. This requires bad things to happen so that we are forced to look inwardly. It's not pleasant so many must protect their belief system by denying it.

@curiosi 馃憤馃徎 He said we would by much Tribulation enter the kingdom of God... Acts 14:22-24 King James Version (KJV)

22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus said also that few would find eternal life...Matthew 7:13-14 King James Version (KJV)

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, [b]and few there be that find it. [/b]. Thank you ..馃檹馃 also we must be born again! John chapter 3 [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

The Word of God is the Word of God, good or bad. It's the most reliable book we have in this fallen world of ours.

@GodSpeed63 blood bought, born again child of the king. I know him and he knows me. Even the number of hairs on my head. He sees my lying down and my getting up. He knows the way that I take! 鉂わ笍

Which negative things do you feel are rejected?
SW-User
@Qwerty14 I know he will for the savior Jesus declares it to be so! He said their torment lasts forever and ever...
@SW-User In Gehenna which again is not the same as Sheol. You need to read a version of the bible that doesn't translate the words into Hell and you'll understand the difference
SW-User
@Qwerty14 you need to believe Jesus... thank you but no I don鈥檛 believe what you are saying. We have both shared now it is enough I will block before I argue this with you!

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
SW-User
@JoePourMan Every good and perfect gift does come from above but that same God that gives the good declares there is coming bad... hence you didn鈥檛 answer the question...
JoePourMan61-69, M
@SW-User If we accept the good gifts of God, we don't have to worry about the evil to come. It's our choice, God isn't wanting anyone to perish
SW-User
@JoePourMan He isn鈥檛 willing that any perish but all come to eternal life!!!! But you don鈥檛 know the Bible if you think think Jesus didn鈥檛 spend time warning his followers of the dangers of Hell fire and the coming judgement of this world... they stoned the prophets and killed the apostles for saying things they didn鈥檛 want to hear... I see it hasn鈥檛 changed...

@Waymore Not quite what I expected but even a battery has positive and negative. Life is not always pleasant...All I know is God is a loving savior and he said he鈥檚 coming back as a reigning king and there will be the white throne judgement where God judges those not saved/obeying him!
