You seem to have nailed it on the head about only love and grace being preached. It seems people like to forget there are consequences to wrong doings and preachers like to make the congregation happy. Thanks for the reminder that we need to remember that God punishes the wicked and sinful who turn away from Him. Good read.

Blessed is the one whom God chooses to turn to repentance and seek him. They will find him, they will find Christ within themselves, and within every man. Purifiying us, in the lake of fire. One must be careful though about following the road of perfecting the flesh - if one finds Christ indwelling, they have found the way - and he will bring us into remembrance of the Word of God, to show us things - damned is the path of damnation and all who find themselves on it, will find no rest with God.

Dear arcticmons,

I disagree with you.  On repentance, one cannot find Jesus within himself. He has to accept Jesus Christ as his savior and Lord. The the Father and Jesus Christ will enter the heart of this person.  On repentance, one cannot find Jesus "within every man".  One cannot follow the road of perfecting the flesh on his own.  Unless and unless he has the experience of crucifixion of his flesh on the Cross of our Lord, he cannot save himself from his flesh.

quote Job
"One cannot follow the road of perfecting the flesh on his own."

This is true, one normally finds the path of perfecting the flesh at a church. While it is true that those who serve God are not big "sinners", as their conscience would judge themselves, God will not allow any man to perfect the flesh, lest they boast, and nobody gets the glory of our salvation but God. So it is good not to sin, but it is very easy for a person to lead one weak in faith down a road of perfecting the flesh if their words are not chosen wisely, then this person (who is weak in faith) will of course fail at perfecting the flesh (lest they boast), this is why I said "One must be careful about following the road of perfecting their flesh." Because this road does not lead to life, but rather hell on Earth. If one seeks only God, then he will show them the way (and lets face it, if someone is spending most of their time seeking God, then they aren't out sinning much are they?) so the problem takes care of itself.
Galatians 3:3  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

On repentance, its not that we disagree Job, its just that I left out a few steps that God takes care of autmatically for those who seek him, if one repents and seeks God, then the Father will lead them to Jesus (he can do this in many ways), and they will accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, then they will seek Jesus, then he will show them that he is inside of them, then he will lead them to the Father. Christ will gently guide all who ask into teachings and wisdom, many seek this teaching in the world, but the problem is that most who want to teach in the world are wolves. A minister of Christ will always gently point them back to Christ and back to life, back to the only path that leads to life. Meditating and waiting upon God are a must, asking for wisdom, discerment and the many gifts and to be filled more fully with light.

Narrow is the path and few who find it.
