Jesus already paid the price for our soul, it isn’t ours to ‘sell’. The devil is a liar, and a blanket statement that there isn’t forgiveness and redemption isn’t accurate. In order for a person to truly reject and separate themselves from Christ, they first have to know Him. Not ‘know of Him’. You’re saying there’s no difference between embracing a sinful and demonic existence and turning your life to Christ then renouncing that covenant. That’s ultimately what the mark of the beast is- willfully, & knowingly, severing the covenant with Christ. Accepting Christ and going into a sinful nature isn’t the same as renouncing Christ. You’re stating it as though Billie fully committed to Christ and confessed that He’s the only way, truth, and life, and then renounced Him. He ‘chose’ us, but there’s free will, so we have to choose Him back. She grew up in a home void of Christ, with friends & family that think it’s ridiculous. Many ppl turn to Christ later in life, it doesn’t make it any less ‘valid’.
I’m not “living my life and constantly hoping” in vain. Prayer and hope are Biblical. I can’t know the depth of someone’s heart, only God is able to...what we see is the fruit or lack there of. Either way, I will never stop praying. I don’t care if you think that makes me stupid, I don’t answer to you, regardless of caps lock and putting sentences in bold. Giving up on people is exactly the kind of weakened faith that the devil loves bc he’s the ultimate used car salesman- and I’m not buying. I will never, ever, put limits on what Jesus can do.
Yes, many people sell their souls because they willingly renounce Christ and they want something bigger in life they never had before so they turn their backs on God and do that instead. They willingly agree to getting possessed, they willingly agree to cast spells in their songs, they willingly worship satan, they willingly blaspheme God and do the most vile things on a daily basis. I guess you skimmed over my post because I said even MJ was attempting to be strong in Christ, he talked about the Bible, he kept saying he wanted a relationship with God but overall, he wasn't meant to be Gods, so even so, he died and now he's awaiting punishment. Same thing if these artists attempt to repent- most likely can't since they hate God and do abominable deeds on purpose and don't even like the idea of repenting. For goodness sake, they don't even like talking about love, but they do spread the love agenda just so you can love your own selves and not God. They're just empty and done.
"In order for a person to reject Christ, they have to know him." No they do not. Some people know little of God and reject him any ways. Not every one on this earth is supposed to experience a relationship with God or even have to in order to reject him. 'For many are called, few are chosen" Notice, MANY- not all but MANY and FEW are chosen. Most of these artists didn't have a relationship with God and they still chose to renounce him- you just said billie didn't know Christ so we can't blame her, and yet you said one has to have a relationship with him before making a decision, see you're confused.
"Going into sinful nature and renouncing Christ isn't the same thing," Yes, that's what I said.
"You’re stating it as though Billie fully committed to Christ and confessed that He’s the only way, truth, and life, and then renounced Him." Actually, that was the point YOU were making. You said billie didn't know Christ, then you said in order to reject him, you have to have a relationship first. That's why I said you're confused because you keep switching things up.
"He ‘chose’ us, but there’s free will, so we have to choose Him back." You're right. Gods people eventually will choose hi,m, it's obvious since they were chosen. Just take off the quotation marks.
"Only God is able to...what we see is the fruit or lack there of" Actually if you have the Holy Spirit, you would have some spiritual gifts, one of them being able to judge righteously by the fruit. Yeah, you're right, you can't really see what's in ones heart unless God blessed you with the Holy Spirit. Because of God, I can personally see if someones fruit is bad or good, can't actually see in their heart, so you're right but the least I can see is if they bear good fruit or bad fruit.
"I don’t care if you think that makes me stupid, I don’t answer to you, regardless of caps lock and putting sentences in bold." Did you assume I thought you were stupid? Also it looks like you didn't read what I put in caps which isn't me thinking you're stupid but rather putting it in CAPS so you can get the idea it stands out because it's important.
"Giving up on people is exactly the kind of weakened faith that the devil loves bc he’s the ultimate used car salesman- and I’m not buying." God already told me these people wouldn't be saved. He revealed this to me years ago, anyways. So I know what I'm saying. That's why I'm trying to get you to understand they aren't of God, they renounced him, they sold out, it's over but I guess you're just going to have to find out later then. Not giving up on them, just simply leaving them be because there's nothing I can do.
"I will never, ever, put limits on what Jesus can do." Me either. In this situation however, like I said, he already told me about this so this isn't me putting limits on what he can do, it's me accepting these people are just damned.
It seems you're leaning on your own understanding. I lean on the knowledge God has that he provided for me. This isn't me trying to be prideful or trying to put you on the spot, but rather correcting you.
