Now the question that you have to answer my brother is do you really have the answer to what awaits you in eternity? Are you truly prepared for the day that God will require your soul?

If god knew non theists would reject him before he created the universe, and willed it into existence anyway, he chose for that to happen. The ball was never in our court. The ball was in his court from jump. If god can do anything, he could have created a universe in which no one chose to do evil. Evil could have never been willed into existence, by god, and freedom kept intact.

It's the same old song and dance my brother. Your still passing the buck. It's always the "fault" of God. Ever since man turned his back on God, man has been playing the blame game. Your blaming God for working out His plan and purpose, while giving no thought to the decisions that your willfully making right at this moment. Ultimately though, your choices will lead you to the destiny that was already known before the foundation of the world. God has given you the free will to weigh the choices and choose which path you want to follow. Right now your choices are leading you down the road to destruction. And on this road your will, the world, and the devil are continuing to reinforce the choices you have made and are currently making.

BUT

Thanks be to God that He is extending an olive branch to you and pleading with you to receive His love, forgiveness of your sins, mercy, grace, and salvation through the death, burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. God has not destroyed you yet because He is still waiting for you to make a decision for His Son. You have the will to make that decision. And if you would humble yourself, realize that you don't have all the answers, acknowledge that there is a God who loves, recognize that your a sinner, and cry out that you need Him to save you, He will come into your heart and life and abide with you forever and ever. YOU WILL BE BORN AGAIN! Hallelujah!

So the question that now remains is are you willing to let the master do a transformation in your life?

 
seems like the question of salvation is the main theme here. yes, we are not saved by our works, but by grace thru faith alone. yes, faith without works is dead. but dont get those two misconstrued. you dont have to be a good person to be saved, and being a good person doesnt mean ur saved either. when u are saved, there is a deposit in ur being, its called the Holy Spirit. as evidence of the Holy Spirit in you, your character WILL change, cuz ur spirit has changed.These are "Fruits of the Spirit". You may still struggle with the things of the flesh,things that we are naturally inclined to do, cuz of our sinful nature. this is why David nd countless other men of God would fall sometimes. But why were they still favoured? cuz God looks at the intentions of the heart. So in Christ, when u r born again, that same evidence that Christ Himself is in u, is what sets you apart from someone who doesnt have Christ in them. Basically all this means one thing, without Christ, u are a slave to sin, whether ur a model citizen or not, and with Christ, u are a slave to righteousness, constantly feeding ur spirit with the Word, praise, worship, and fellowship, to FIGHT ur flesh.
 
I'm sorry for jumping in the kool-aid but... @doyouwant2go2heaven have you considered the mercy He has (and is) showing you? For if you did, you wouldn't be pressing West B the way that you are to make a decision about something you can't control. If he comes to know the Lord, it will not be your doing. You can't take credit for his choice.

Amen my friend. The word is in you. May you continue to grow in the knowledge and wisdom of our great God and Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.

No one is taking credit for anything my brother. God always gets all the glory at all times. When you love your neighbor as yourself, you will continue to declare the good news to your neighbor so that seeds will be planted, or seeds will be watered, so that at the appointed time God will give the increase. Amen.
 
@doyouwant2go2heaven I wasn't suggesting that you were taking credit; just simply saying that God knows the heart of man and does what he sees fit. Hmm... @jack_riches seems to know the deal.

I want to thank God for continuing to open up doors of opportunity, so that He can use me for His glory. This sermon was given while I was visiting my Dad in Atlanta, GA on 9-4-12. One of the brothers there recorded it and gave me a copy. The LORD uses me to do street preaching, so I never had a chance to be recorded. But the LORD blessed me to do a more formal sermon and here is the message. God bless you.

AMEN BRO AND GOD BLESS YOU..

IM PROUD OF YOU MAN, REAL TALK....

I FINALLY GOT A CHANCE TO LISTEN TO THE YOUTUBE VIDS AND THEY WERE A BLESSING.. KEEEP DOING YOUR THING...

I GUESS YOU JUST PROVED TO EVERYBODY THAT YOU'RE NOT A TROLL AND YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU TYPE!

Thank you my brother in Christ. May we all continue to watch and pray for the coming of our LORD is sooner than we think! I love you. Amen.

 
I am a man who has faith in Allah, and wish you all the best DoU, if you do what you do from the heart, which definitely seems so, and want nothing but good for people then it is definitely not my place to criticize you at all. I think more power to you, and may the Lord of the Worlds continue to bless you.
