PREDESTINED TO DAMNATION OR A CHANCE FOR SALVATION?

[T.L. Hawkins]

I would love to hear from you all on this blog.

My heart goes out to the Youth and Young Adult.

Matthew 7:1
"Judge not, that ye be not judged"

This morning, I found myself quite disturbed and becoming judgemental and mentally condemning a man I don't know personally to death because of the sins he confessed to law enforcement officials. I received several emails in reference to the story of Danny Platt confessing to murdering his 2-1/2 year old son and burying the toddler in a park. His motive? To avoid paying $4,000.00 in back child support.

This was truly a selfish act, but first and foremost it is sin.
Exodus 20:13; Deutoronomy 5:17; Mattew 5:21; Romans 13:9 "THOU SHALT NOT KILL".

Because I have such a strong love for children, I couldn't help but have a series of questions go through my mind.

1) Why do people continue to misuse, abuse and murder innocent children?

2) When such acts are committed against children, why is there NO remorse?

3) Why is it that more times than NOT, the people committing such outlandish crimes say "God told me to do it"?

I could only come up with one answer to all my questions.

Romans 1:28 - 32
28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a REPROBATE MIND , to do those things which are not convenient;
29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.



What price do they pay? Should they be put to death? Are they able to gain salvation being reprobates?

I would love to hear from you!

I would lie to first start of with that because we are born into sin, we are prisoners of sin. Satan is our master and what ever we are commanded to do, we must because Paul states that we are slaves either to righteousness or to sin. We have no ability to decide what we will do because we are controlled by darkness. Until we have been freed by Christ, we are unable to recognize our sin. Also, Romans 1:28-32 is a result of God turning Homosexuals over to a reprobate mind. Since they have decided to do things that are unseemly, God turns them over to their lustful desires.

Secondly, Satan hates children and as you study through out the historical accounts in the Old Testament, every time the Israelites strayed away, they always went back to Baal, which commanded them to sacrifice children by placing them through the fire. That spirit is still in operation today and still requires blood of children. People are controlled by spirits so when they listen, they think it's God because the spirit will lie to them.

Thirdly, we are living in the last days. Paul says in Timothy that men will become lovers of themselves. Jesus stated in Matthew 24 that our love would grow wax cold. These things must come to pass, because the word of God can't lie. As the world goes forward, there will be more wicked deeds performed because there is no love. We must not turn a cold shoulder, but we must not get upset to the point that we become vexed by everything we see.

Finally, we have all sinned, so there is big sin or little sin. Murders are the same as gossipers. Jesus has come to save the worst of the worst. We are to continue to pray for God's love to touch them and help them see the need for a Savior. We have to show love and compassion to those who lack it. John 3:16 is essential for us as believes.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes on him should not perish but have eternal life. We are the whosoever. If God had mercy and compassion on you, then why not a person who killed a child or even worse, who molested a child. We have place categories on sin and have decided which is considered to be "okay" or an abomination. Sin is sin and it deserves the judgment of God. Who knows, that murder or molester will be the next missionary that brings in millions of people into the kingdom of God. We have to realize that we are living in a spiritual conflict (2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Ephesians 6:10-18). The battle is for the souls of men. Ask God to help you to look over physical aspect and understand it in the spiritual. These days are evil and will get worse,to those who can hold on will be saved!

Grace and peace. This is a very interesting concept that you have brought to my mind. After reading your post, I had a discussion with someone about God's forgiveness of sins. She stated that once a person has been "turned over to their reprobate mind" that there is no more salvation. In Hebrews, it says that once a person has known "The Truth" and willfully turns their back on it, there is no more salvation of the blood, but But God says that the only requirement to receive His salvation is repentance in your heart and receiving and accepting Him as the Son of God. So if he repents in his heart, and accepts Christ as his savior, what happens? Hebrews 10:26-30 says:

26If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"[d] and again, "The Lord will judge his people."[e] 31It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

But what about the one who has never known the truth. I would appreciate your feedback.
