Time To Take A Stand

WARNING! THE THOUGHTS YOUR ARE ABOUT TO READ MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME READERS. PROCEED AT YOU OWN RISK! THIS IS ALSO LENGTHY SO BE PROCEED CAREFULLY. Over the past few days I have had some banter back and forth with one of my nieces about homosexuality and whether or not it is sin! In the back and forth I asked her to tell me what she believes about the word of God. I do agree that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs whether I agree with them or not. I also realized that I owe her the same thing from my view point. So here we go. The Bible is the unadulterated Holy word of God. It is absolute truth all the way from Genesis to Revelation! There is nothing in it that can be argued by man's logic and yes there are parts of it that challenge me and I really don't like them but they are the truth regardless! It's author is the Holy God Himself who is omnipotent (all knowing) and omnipresent (everywhere at every time). If I accept it I MUST accept ALL of it! If I reject any part of it then I MUST reject the entire book! I don't have the right to pick and choose the parts that I like and I don't have the right to change any of it so that I feel more comfortable about who or what I am. In other words I am not God! By the way neither is Buddha or Allah! Jesus is the one true son of God and only through him can you find eternal life. You cannot get to the Father through any other person, place, thing or event. There is a literal Heaven and a literal Hell! Those who reject the Savior (Jesus) also reject the Father (God). I make no apologies for what I believe or in the directness of how I choose to share it. I believe it is time for all believers to stand up in loud unison and shout JESUS IS LORD AND HE WANTS TO SAVE YOU! This internet that Al Gore invented (please) is a wonderful way to share our thoughts and comment back and forth to each other, in other words it's easy making a stand when you are not standing in front of others and taking the heat one on one. I must be more proactive in walking the walk. This is not one of those emails that you get almost everyday that will try to guilt you into forwarding it to 10 friends if you truly love the Lord! This is simply one sinner’s view point and I just wanted to get it out. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Love people and hate sin! Be blessed beyond belief today.
