Never mind that I'm an antitheist but with a particular demographic any mention of 'Gods will' or any such will instantly loose you any argument.......
May not be too popular a thing to say with many here but it is very much true so it bears mentioning as it is sorta in the same vein as Trump never using 'politician speak' or big words, the whole point of communicating is to get the point across and anything that gets in the way of that just means that you have failed at communicating that point.....
God told us to speak His word. What others hear is between them and God. They will be responsible for that and it’s up to God to grow His seeds. He said He would. So in faith, I’ll forever plant them. Regardless of the complaints emitting from the dirt. God said that would happen, it’s not a surprise or anything we need to account for.
God told us not to expect them to listen. Jeremiah 7:27 (ESV) “So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you.
But He still told us to tell them, that maybe when we tell them the full truth they will realize the error of their ways and turn back to God.
Jeremiah 26:2b-3 (ESV) 2b “...do not hold back a word. 3 It may be they will listen, and every one turn from his evil way, that I may relent of the disaster that I intend to do to them because of their evil deeds.
“Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:11-13 ESV
2 Peter 1:13 (NLT) And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live.
