I can't remember the exact words, but there is a scripture which explains that God disciplines those He loves, and corrects their path when they have been misled by false teaching, so they will not be destroyed but have eternal life. But allows the Wicked to blindly follow false teachings without correction, as their punishment in death is waiting due to their pride.

Again, these aren't the exact words, but this is the summary of what the scripture is saying. Does anyone remember? An older woman once told me, that God will not let his annointed stray to far away for too long. When I read that scripture, I understood what she meant. Thanks

Also, the scripture I'm looking for is not Hebrews 12:5-6 which says: Do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.

Albert Hall, you're obviously not a christian. All scripture is inspired by God. You may choose to believe what you want, but don't attempt to justify what is in God's word to support your beliefs.

Also, the scripture I'm referring to is not 2 Corinthians 4:2-4 which says: The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

In speaking about the appearance of the Antichrist in the last days, God says "And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe the lie, in order that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in wickedness."
(II Thessalonians 2:11,12)
See also II Peter 2:9 in context, which reads:
"the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment."

Right, yes you are correct their is such a passage, stating (roughly) that "Their eyes have been blinded to the truth"

Beware, this passage was added to fuel a war against opposing religions during the crusades.
This passage was also one of those that was used by Hitler while committing the genocide against the Jews.

Although it is nice to believe that we are right and others wrong, this is directly Against the true meaning of the bible which focuses on Forgiveness (love thy neighbor) and kindness.

Do not concentrate on the anti-christian passages that were added by the corrupters of Christianity. The basic fundamental beliefs are just the opposite of those words.

As far as ".. God will not let his anointed stray to far away for too long....". As a Christian, it is your duty (a difficult one) to believe that any stray can be returned to the fold. No matter their sins.

PS- There are passages in the bible that can support almost any belief system. Remember the Klan and the Nazi's both use the christian Bible's verses to gain support.

? Not sure what you are looking for but this is one about trying to tell people about God and they make fun of you.
Matthew 7:6 Do not give what is holy to dogs. neither throw your pearls before swine that they may trample them under their feet and turn around and rip you open.
But, then Matthrew 7:7 says: Keep on asking and it will be given you. Keep on seeking and you will find.

But you have to have a right heart condition or reason for doing so. John 6:44 No man can come to me unless the father who sent me draws him and I will resurrect him in the last day.

Below are just two that come to mind. I mean God uses "God weapons". He WILL do anything to bring us to HIS glory. For example. He allowed Pharoh's heart to be hardened. That was a god weapon..

JER 23:32
Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.

PE2 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

These lines speak to what you need to do and then says if you follow them you will be as your father in heaven.I hope this gives more meaning than teh passage you are looking for.

41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
