Can anyone show me scripture where God extends His Mercy to someone before they accept Him as their Creator and repents of their sins?

Catholic and Christian Churches have no biblical foundation for doing so. Their concept of a “NEW OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT” IS COMING FROM SATAN.

BEWARE!!! and don’t be fooled by what seems like a beautiful and charitable offering to our sisters and brothers.

GOD’S MERCY IS THERE FOR ALL HIS CHILDREN ONCE THEY ACCEPT HIM AND REPENT - GOD DOES NOT CHANGE TO SUIT THE PRESSURES OF A SECULAR WORLD.

From Vatican II, Dei Verbum, the mercy of God preceeds salvation:5. “The obedience of faith” (Rom. 13:26; see 1:5; 2 Cor 10:5-6) “is to be given to God who reveals, an obedience by which man commits his whole self freely to God, offering the full submission of intellect and will to God who reveals,” (4) and freely assenting to the truth revealed by Him. To make this act of faith, the grace of God and the interior help of the Holy Spirit must precede and assist, moving the heart and turning it to God, opening the eyes of the mind and giving “joy and ease to everyone in assenting to the truth and believing it.” (5) To bring about an ever deeper understanding of revelation the same Holy Spirit constantly brings faith to completion by His gifts.

What about all the people Jesus healed back when he walked the earth?, Im pretty sure many of them were non-believers up until the point they touched his robes and were healed on the spot, so essentially, Jesus had to prove himself to these people in order for them to believe in him…I wonder what their reactions would have been if Jesus had NOT healed them, instead telling them to have faith, and pray for healing?

If he healed/ helped those who were non-believers back then, no reason why he would not do the same today…right?
 
THE MISTAKE I MADE WITH THE POST IS THAT I USED THE WORD ‘MERCY’ WHEN I SHOULD HAVE USED THE WORD ‘FORGIVENESS’ - IF I DID THAT THEN THIS WOULD BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CONVERSATION - SO SORRY !!! - I though I learned this lesson years ago - not to post something right after you just write it but give it time and go back to it the next day.

I have a story
I suffered from a mortally sinful sexual addiction, and I fought it for a whole year, losing more ground daily.
My parents, pastor, others, all tried to remind me not to feel down about it, to feel Gods mercy, to feel his grace, that he will have mercy on me, all this, how accepting his mercy as your hope will save you. They did this to varying degrees. One said not to try a daily rosary for this, just remembering Gods mercy is better. Another said I should not feel so guilty. Another said I should not go to confession so much, and be happy and joyful christian. You know what? My addiction GOT WAY WORSE.

Then I found a traditionalist Catholic website that said bluntly. You have lust, you burn in hell. It had stereotypical descriptions of all the pains of hell, condemned me ruthlessly, and told me to pray a 15 decade rosary in hope of reparation, to go to weekly confession over it. And now, 2 months later, my addiction has vanished.

Did I stop due to fear? Hell no! (Pun intended). I stopped because I was not simply causing God to pour more mercy onto me, I was LEAVING him for hell. That is heartbreaking. The cold fact was that if I died like this, God would not run and chase me, I would have turned my back on him…and this realization is what snapped the addiction for good.

Funny how that worked. :rolleyes:

I have a strong devotion to the Divine Mercy. And Jesus said to St Faustina, If souls do not pass through my mercy they will pass through my justice. God does not wrap his mercy to accept our sins, we must shed them and actively enter into his mercy.
Good post, OP. 👍
