What kind of "seed" am I planting here on TOL?

"Just as you have planted your seed in the ground, I'm going to plant my seed in you." ~ Dwight, The Office

"The people who have had the biggest impact on me and my walk with Christ have shown me love, forbearance, kindness and gentleness.  When people are mean spirited and judgmental, when they demean my thoughts while exalting their own, I shrink away.  What kind of fruit is that?"

Make room for the Jeremiahs and the Ezekiels. It's good to be broken before God but bold before people.

"[Y]ou're going to find out that Christians that stand for Christ are going to cause conflict. We're the salt of the earth and not only does salt cleanse and purify and preserve but salt irritates and if you're a true
Christian you're going to find out because you are twice born in a world of once-born people that most of the time you are going to be going against the tide, they're going to despise you. Now, if they don't despise you, if you don't find yourself going against the tide, if you find yourself getting along with most of the people most of the time you better check up, because you're so much like the world they cannot tell the difference..."

To be intolerant toward evil is a virtue. We need more intolerance (Re 2:2, Isa 5:20, Pr 17:15, 24:24, Jer 48:10)." ~ Darrell Ferguson

Response to comment [from My bible says we all once walked in that way, (Pharoah, and, or Judas)..."

God revealed what was already in Pharaoh's heart (Ex 10:1-2). Jesus chose Judas knowing who and what he was (Lk 6:12-16, Jn 15:16).

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [God revealed what was already in Pharaoh's heart (Ex 10:1-2). Jesus chose Judas knowing who and what he was (Lk 6:12-16, Jn 15:16).] "All God said to Pharoah was "let My people go" if he were a sheep he woulda."

Right.  Pharaoh was ungodly.

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  [God revealed what was already in Pharaoh's heart (Ex 10:1-2). Jesus chose Judas knowing who and what he was (Lk 6:12-16, Jn 15:16).] "Agreed, like I said, we all were once them. We were all reconciled while in that same condition, too.  [S]ome just choose to do something about it..."

Yes.  The Lord chooses us (Jn 15:16).  Neither Pharaoh nor Judas would choose the Lord (Ex 10:1-2). 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[I]f the words are not God's they won't stand close scrutiny."

Without spiritual illumination conscience is a false guide (Ac 23:1; 26:9).
