I see that leftwing extremist annabennedetti was so impressed with your earlier post that she gave you a thanks.
Should people not care about what goes on in this world that God made and in the lives of the people He put on it?
Lol - you of all people referring to anyone as an extremist :chuckle:
As for the other - Scripture offers ONE solution - get the lost...saved.
Only then can one expect "the power of God unto salvation" resident in "the gospel of the Grace of God" to bring about change in the individual.
And that; on a case by case basis; and in His time as to each individual - after they are saved.
Romans 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
2 Corinthians 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
Other than that; the lost will carry on as who they are - the lost.
Because it is who they are - the lost.
Until saved...
Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Be unhappy with the lost all you want, ACW; your responsibility is to share with them the truth that....
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Moralize the lost all you want - the Law proved that the Law entered that the offence might ABOUND.
This is why such as Pence and Devos are wrong in their fool notion that what the lost need is to be moralize them until they change - the very doomed to fail attempt that The Law proved through failure, man is incapable of unless first...saved.
Both have no business in such an ignorant ministering attempt.
The lost do not need The Ten Commandments or what have you.
What they need is "the gospel of the Gracevof God."
Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
The core of your very failure, ACW.
Put away your ever legalistic moralizing and pick up the gospel of the Grace of God in His Son - this is what the lost need.
"And you HATH he quickened - who WERE dead in trespasses and sins..."
