Lets discuss your claims here...
- 1 Peter 3:15 15, But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear
According to the scripture above we are to sanctify the Lord God in our hearts and always be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in us with meekness and fear..
The scripture is not saying to sanctify the Lord God in our hearts and not be truthful. The scripture is also saying in context to give a reason for the hope that is in you to those who are genuinely asking why we want to be Christians. You have never asked me why I am a Christian so this scripture does not apply to us in that context but applies in telling the truth and the scripture is not saying we should not tell the truth to anyone that asks us.
Furthermore as Christians we are commissioned by God in the scriptures to be truthful and to warn those who have turned away from God and His Word in Ezekiel 18 where it is written.....
- Ezekiel 3:17-21 17, SON OF MAN, I HAVE MADE YOU A WATCHMAN TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL: THEREFORE HEAR THE WORD AT MY MOUTH, AND GIVE THEM WARNING FROM ME.18, WHEN I SAY TO THE WICKED, YOU SHALL SURELY DIE; AND YOU GIVE HIM NOT WARNING, NOR SPEAK TO WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WICKED WAY, TO SAVE HIS LIFE; THE SAME WICKED MAN SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT YOUR HAND. 19, YET IF YOU WARN THE WICKED, AND HE TURN NOT FROM HIS WICKEDNESS, NOR FROM HIS WICKED WAY, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT YOU HAVE DELIVERED YOUR SOUL. 20, Again, WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN DOES TURN FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMIT INIQUITY, AND I LAY A STUMBLING-BLOCK BEFORE HIM, HE SHALL DIE: BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN HIM WARNING, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS SIN, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH HE HAS DONE SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED; BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT YOUR HAND. 21, NEVERTHELESS IF YOU WARN THE RIGHTEOUS MAN, THAT THE RIGHTEOUS SIN NOT, AND HE DOES NOT SIN, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, BECAUSE HE IS WARNED; ALSO YOU HAVE DELIVERED YOUR SOUL.
and again here..
- Ezekiel 18:20-24 20, THE SOUL THAT SINS, IT SHALL DIE. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him. 21, But IF THE WICKED WILL TURN FROM ALL HIS SINS THAT HE HAS COMMITTED, AND KEEP ALL MY STATUTES, AND DO THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, HE SHALL NOT DIE. 22, ALL HIS TRANSGRESSIONS THAT HE HAS COMMITTED, THEY SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED TO HIM: IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT HE HAS DONE HE SHALL LIVE. 23, Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? said the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 24, But WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS TURNS AWAY FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMITS INIQUITY, AND DOES ACCORDING TO ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THAT THE WICKED MAN DOES, SHALL HE LIVE? ALL HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT HE HAS DONE SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED: IN HIS TRESPASS THAT HE HAS TRESPASSED, AND IN HIS SIN THAT HE HAS SINNED, IN THEM SHALL HE DIE.
According to the scriptures above dear friend I believe it is my duty of love to warn you that if you continue in known unrepentant sin and unbelief there is consequences for our actions. I fear God therefore more than you if I do not do my duty of love in telling you the truth as shown in the scriptures above and in other scriptures like Hebrews 6:4-8 and Hebrews 10:26-31.
I can say with all honesty now I have told you the truth. What you do with it now is between you and God according to the scriptures (see John 12:47-48).
