Why do they make the choices they do.?

You know, I can't explain why people make the choices that they do, but in the case of these two men, they seem to be getting the message across to others to warn them that they should turn their lives over to Jesus. Even though people may grow up together and do almost the same things and go the same places, one thing you have to keep in mind is that both of these men are individuals and no one individual is the same as the other.

why? so they can learn from each other. because both are needed to keep man sober about God. and both of those mentalities are precious to God. He does both perfectly because we all know that God's love goes beyond words, but so does his wrath. with man this is different...too much softness in a church without the seriousness of sin will create complacency and will lead to dead, anything goes churches and who likes that? and too much harshness without mecry and forgiveness will create a pride and arrogance that will never allow change or admit to mistakes or even to being wrong. thus destroying the work of Christ and promoting evil.

My guess would be that if you examined their lives closely you would find some differences. Their parents, siblings, successes or failures, diet, even genes may be different.

I find it hard to believe that a person just wakes up one day and for no reason just says, "You know what, I think I'll be bitter for the rest of my life." I think these decisions are always driven by something.

As a Preacher we have to preach about the Bible as a whole we cant take out all the good parts to make everyone feel good..We have to teach the bad stuff to and how to get away from it. its don't scare the saved only the unsaved are scared ...Me as a preacher am held accountable for what i don't teach. so I have to teach all of it so on judgment I'm safe and many more are saved..

One believes in God with terrible fear instead of knowing the Love God has for us...

The other knows the grace, love and forgiveness, God has for us, Therefore He live in faith the other fear.

~He Is God~

He is the First and Last,

The Beginning and the End!

He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!

He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.

He always was, He always is, and He always will be ...

unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!

He was bruised and brought healing!

He was pierced and eased pain!

He was persecuted and brought freedom!

He was dead and brought life!

He is risen and brings power!

He reigns and brings Peace!

The world can't understand him,

The armies can't defeat Him,

The schools can't explain Him, and The leaders can't ignore Him.

Herod couldn't kill Him, The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and The people couldn't hold Him!

Nero couldn't crush Him, Hitler couldn't silence Him,

The New Age can't replace Him, and "Oprah" can't explain Him away!

He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.

He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.

He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.

His ways are right,

His word is eternal,

His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me.

He is my Savior,

He is my guide, and He is my peace!

He is my Joy,

He is my comfort,

He is my Lord, and He rules my life!

I serve Him because His bond is love,

His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life.

I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,

the power of the powerful,

the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and is to come. And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.

His goal is a relationship with ME!

He will never leave me,

never forsake me,

never mislead me,

never forget me,

never overlook me and

never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up!

When I fail, He forgives!

When I am weak, He is strong!

When I am lost, He is the way!

When I am afraid, He is my courage!

When I stumble, He steadies me!

When I am hurt, He heals me!

When I am broken, He mends me!

When I am blind, He leads me!

When I am hungry, He feeds me!

When I face trials, He is with me!

When I face persecution, He shields me!

When I face problems, He comforts me!

When I face loss, He provides for me!

When I face Death, He carries me Home!

He is everything for everybody everywhere, every time, and every way.

He is God, He is faithful. I am His, and He is mine!

My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.

So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...

He said it and that settles it.

God is in control, I am on His side,

and that means all is well with my soul.

Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!

ove that God has for us. The other understands His grace and knows He loves us, and forgive us, no matter what we have done.

Some people use their life experiences to define God, others use the Bible to define God.

I assume this is hypothetical. One went to a hellfire and brimstone and the other went to a caring church?

Different types of personalities, different upbringings, different ways of knowing about God.

they playing good cop bad cop?
