i just got done reading an article about the new alabama governor regarding a speech he made. he said that all those that had accepted JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOUR were his brothers and sisters in CHRIST. he also said that those that haven't accepted CHRIST weren't his brothers and sisters.
the media and a another group have implied that because he said this he may not be tolerate, or accepting of those that don't believe CHRIST is their saviour. my question is do they even know if that is true? has his past suggested that he wouldn't be tolerate, or caring to non-christians?
it seems that we can't even speak anymore without everything being offensive. i don't know why this is. i am more offended that the group assumed that he wouldn't be tolerate. we live in almost fear of everything we do, or say anymore so we don't offend someone. when did GOD become so offensive to speak of?
there are some things that are truly offensive that we seem to ignore as a society. i don't understand how a black man can call another black man "a nigger." this word is terribly offensive. i often think what would martin luther king jr think of this? he fought and died so individuals could understand how offensive this is to another human being.
i find it offensive that our own president doesn't say CREATOR when he reads the declaration of independence. i find it to be very disrespectful to our founding fathers that based the laws of the united states on scripture and GOD.
i'm sure that i have offended quite a few individuals that have read this blog. it's my opinion only. does that mean that you have to read it; no. the truth of scripture is offensive. it's not comfortable always to hear. it's not a continually, tell all book of how wonderful you are. scripture tells you what is sin and what you need to do to live as christian. one of those is to spread the gospel no matter how offensive that is. others don't have to listen, or accept CHRIST. we are not responsible for anothers salvation, only GOD is.
we were once a christian nation. we at one time held scripture and the truths of CHRIST to be the most important thing. CHRIST tells us to tell the truth to each other; to hold each other accountable. this isn't easy. HE never said that it was going be easy. we did this to ourselves when adam and eve ate the apple. HE gave us HIS SON so we could be saved from our sin. why have so many forgotten that?
"6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." Galatians 1:6-10
