For the record, I have never said any of the things in the first I am not their judge, simply a mere student of the scriptures. I simply try to say what the Word itself says.
I do however have a question.
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Romans 6:4
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life.
The message of the Gospel is one of Life and Freedom. Repentance is made, sins are remitted, a new spirit is received and Christ Himself comes to live within you. Can you please tell me in precisely what way, bringing that reality to people is "death-centered." That's the one phrase from your earlier post that you chose to repeat. I am afraid I cannot understand your thinking there. Help me out, please.
