Matthew 25: 31-33. (Jesus speaks about the separation of the sheep from the goats)
There are some BIG differences in Christianity today. For the longest time I honestly thought that IF you called yourself a Christian you had to be, by definition against abortion, which in America today is the legalized killing of innocent children before they have the opportunity to be born.
For me as a Christian who is on the Christian Right, abortion is an this is an EASY issue: NO CHRISTIAN can have a living and active life with God and be pro-abortion. The God of the Christian faith is a God of the living--not the dead. I don't know how you can rationalize the legalization and mainstreaming of abortion, and have the GALL to say you represent being a disciple of Jesus Christ. And yet when you watch many democrats throughout the years, you see them as MILITANT abortion rights advocates--and yet still going to "Christian" churches, professing to be Christians. Recently on Facebook I saw a video of SATANISTS mocking a Christian Pro-life protest and it made me sick. In the video, which I will not look up, nor ever publicaly show, these Satanists were dressed up as babies dousing the air with baby powder in mock of the Pro-life people who were BRAVE enough to take a stand and PEACEFULLY hold up signs speaking against the ATROCITY that IS abortion.
Shouldn't surprise ANYONE that SATANISTS would be ringleaders of descent in pro-life demonstrations, but what does SHOCK ME is that there is a brand of Christianity out there that actually backs and supports the cause of abortion, homosexual rights, and LGBT (transgender) issues. It's called the Christian Left.
Nancy Polosi: Democrat, pro-abortion, pro-LGBT, pro-homosexual rights--yet still claims that her's is the party that is doing the Lord's work.
Now God isn't here on Earth ruling and deciding matters so some form of human government has to be in place. Furthermore the bible was written many thousands of years ago and much has changed since then. Heck, in my own lifetime a lot has changed: widespread acceptance of homosexuality, gay marriage, and now even transgender issues. But just because we're in a season of free choice, that doesn't mean that our choices should favor the death the innocent, men sleeping with men as would a woman, or gender confusion to the point where a person's sexual identity has room for debate.
For me, it was driven home how screwed up today's world is when the former president of the United States couldn't even take a favorable position on transgender bathroom identity issue. Rather, Barak Oboma mere said, "Let them go to the bathroom." Sad. Totally sad way of dealing with an issue that could have EASILY been snuffed out--had America had a good president in office at time this issue came to a head.
God creates in male and female, and no where in the bible is there a place where a man or woman's sexuality is left to a person's own interpretation. YET in the world today, those on the left have decided to grant racial ethnicity status to people who consider themselves "transgendered". Previously homosexuals were ERRANTLY granted legal "ethnicity" status by changes in the law. And even abortion rights hang by a ERRANT court decision: Roe vs. Wade.
It's taken me some time to sort through this mess. But I think that Ben Carson sums up the proper, legal protection that homosexuals and transgendered people deserve:
I believe in equal rights, not special rights.
Well said, Dr. Ben Carson. In America there is no place for beating up homosexual or trangendered people. They are Americians irregardless of how how they pursue their bliss. BUT they also deserve NO SPECIAL PROTECTIONS or allotments under the law.
Same-sex marriage laws are all wrong. Marriage should have NEVER been allowed to be re-defined like that. That is a recent change defying CENTURIES worth of president of marriage ONLY being between a man and a woman.
So who's at the center or the charge for abortion, homosexual, and transgender rights? The devil. Yeah, sure, I'll get Satan has NO PROBLEM with any of those three ungodly albatrosses. But sadly their is another faction that is emerging helping to mainstream and provide legal protection for all these demonic issues. And that's the Christian left!! I honestly can't believe that you can call yourself a Christian and be an advocate of legalized, state sponsored abortions, homosexual rights, and transgender confusion, and be a Christian who is in right standing with Jesus Christ.
Yes, the God of the Christians is a great God of compassion--but He is also a Judge and He is holy! Revelation 20:11-15 is where it all ends for you IF you haven't made your peace with God through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and a confession of your faith in Him. The ultimate Judge of the living and the dead. And though for now there is some debate by some that abortion, homosexuality and transgender issues are okay with God, I don't think they are, and ultimately when God rules on them, He will not show favoritism to THEIR CHOICE to pervert the natural order that God set in motion here on Earth.
What it all boils down to is making right choices and being on God's good side, which is scripturaly found to be His' right side. Kinda funny how in the U.S. we claim to have a political left (democratic party) and a politically leaning right party (the republicans). I used to think that was just coincidental, but now I'm not so sure. I'm more sold that democrats are evil (as the practice of abortion is evil, homosexuality is an abomination, and transgener is further rebelling against Creator God), than I am that republicans are righteous. But more that anything I believe in free choice, and that ultimately YOU are the one who decides for yourself if you will be chosen to enter into Heaven, or if you will be condemned to hell and later the lake of fire.
To say that you can't know good from evil today is a lie. You can know what right and good in the sight of Lord by reading the bible. First and foremost, accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. THAT is a non-negotiable, and an honor that Jesus has earned. That should also be common ground from which to talk to those on the Christian left. Start with Jesus. The conversation begins with Jesus, and it ends with Jesus. The more you know about God, I think the clearer and clearer issues become. Even ones that aren't directly discussed in the bible. Though concerning homosexuality and transgender, God does speak about against this in: 1Corinthians 6: 9-10, Leviticus 18:22, Deuteronomy 23:1.
I really don't like laying down the hammer and being judgemental. But I see America heading down the wrong track, and what makes matters worse is that I see bad factions of the what they claim to be "the Christian faith" ultimately supporting causes that are are against the true nature of God.
You know I wanna be a discovered screenwriter and novelist very badly, but NEVER at the expense of the TRUTH of the gospel and the TRUTH of the righteousness of God. Let every man be proved a liar, yet let God be proved true. Even some 2,000+ years after the writing of the last book of the bible this is still where our truth and foundation for law should come from. To this day, the bible is an ever-presence resource where I go for guidance in dealing with the issues of today. I pray that God's word is your compass as well for negotiating through the trials and tough choices that we face.
