United in Christ?
"UNITED " STATES OF AMERICA UNITED? UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.
What did it mean when our fore fathers signed the declaration of independence? Have you ever wondered "WHY" the United States of America has always been such a blessed nation? "Good", always helping the helpless, rich in oil, gold, clean water.....an ubundance of resources....
"WHY"?
Did it ever occur to you that the United States of America was established on biblical principles? The United States of America at one time had a MORAL compass. I know, I know, very hard to believe now isn't it? So what happened?
Sin is what happened. "Christian" people began to loose their will....their God given freedom and right (not only right but their MORAL obligation) to do the right thing. To stand up for righteousness, to stand against sin! Eniquity prevails when good men do nothing!!!! If you read your King James Bible, ( yes, the bible is another thing that has been watered down in todays society and the version you choose really DOES make a difference!) You will see who God really is....#1) He is RIGHTEOUS! #2) HE is JEALOUS! #3) He is MERCIFUL! #4) He is JUST! #5) He is LOVING! #6) He is a God of LOVE! #7) He is perfectly "BALANCED".......
To Be Balanced.....That means to add just enough of each measure, product, "characteristic" to even out the scale. perfect balance can only be achieved through Jesus Christ our Lord. Everything else will fall completely short.
So back to the bible which is our rule book, reference manual, get to know you so help me GOD guide. IF you read the bible from start to finish, for yourself, I think you would be amazed at who God really is. I think if you stop reading all those other teaching books, following all the different "religious" leaders and doctrins of devils.....you would be surprised to get to know GOD! God knows us! He created us and everything around us except for sin. However.....He allows sin to try us. He has an eternal program for those who truly seek His face. For those who TRULY have a heart for Him. For those who truly put it all on the line......
The God of the universe is creative, artistic....you can see it in every little intricate detail of His creation. You can see it in every unique personality of each of His critters and the entire human race. God is a gentle God with a soft and sensitive touch....He heals the broken hearted, He sets the captives free! He is a God of veangeance, a God of Wrath, a God who HATES sin! A God that spanks His children so that they are not spoiled rotten, selfish brats! A God that spanks his children with just the right amount of force to conquer the rebellion and disobedience but not ruin the internal spirit. He is a God that blesses His kids! He gives them great gifts and teaches them the keys of a safe and happy life. He teaches them to love as only he can love, teaches them to be kind, and gentle, full of compassion and love....merciful....
He also had parents stone their rebellious children to death! He had armys kill with the sword those that were not righteous and that would get in the way of the promised land or threatened to hurt the beloved king David.....the bible has MANY accounts of all the characteristics of God. These are not counterdictions, these are righteous charachteristics of a perfect and just God.
Passive? God??? No......Not my God. Even Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, overturned the tables in the temple and got rid of the money changers. He angered and sinned not! Passive? He was wise and bold enough to verbally stand up to the crowds that were about to stone the woman that was at his feet. With Jesus....all it took was a word. Devils screeched and obeyed His very words spoken in perfect calmness. He lead an example of a perfect "Christian" walk with all the powers of God at your disposal. He was also predestined to submit Himself to the horrendous death on the cross. Passive??? How about in Revelation where He promises to return. Did you read up and see how passive the blessed Son of God will be when he returns to conquer the people that are not in His army?
Should Christians defend themselves? Should Christians kill in self defense? Should Christians fight for a righteous cause? Should Christians UNITE as on NATION UNDER GOD? David did......
and was blessed. Our fore fathers did.....and we are STILL blessed by their righteousness! GOD healed our land! WE are allowing immorality to rule in our land. If God is for us.....who can be against us? If God is sickened by our actions.....who can help us?
To lay down our life for the sake of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the time in which we are called to be passive. If they say deny Christ or die......we are to die in peace and in faith as Jesus did. If sin abounds, we are to stand against it as our righteous God of the Universe does. An eye for an eye? Or love your enemies? How about both! A balanced and meciful heart can do both. Only through the love and balance of our great and powerful God.
SO CHRISTIANS......WHEN WILL WE STAND UNITED IN CHRIST? OR IS THIS THE END? REMEMBER SODOM? Lord if there be 50 righteous......will you spare the city for the sake of 50? His reply was yes......
WE DO HAVE A CHOICE! HOWEVER.....CAN WE BE CALLED A MAN AFTER GODS OWN HEART LIKE DAVID WAS? Or should we really be called.....men hiding behind the skirts of our women and government? Women......are we to be called a JEZEBEL? That munipulated her husband to do her own wickedness? That was not a pretty ending either. We can also be women after Gods heart but it must be done in order.....in Gods way. NO OTHER WAY WILL DO! Women and men do not have to like their God given roles. To be "godly" however, we must assume the roles that God has ordained for us.
GUN CONTROL?
I think not. The government will likely be coming for our guns. The government is anti God just as the criminals on the street. It is all for show. Who will protect your wives? Children? Husbands? How about you? If God be for you....who can be against you? Passive? Or righteous and balanced? You decide!
ISLAM vs JEW= Ishmael vs Isaac
Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah and was the "promised" child that would make them the parents of many nations :
Ishmael was born to Abraham and Hagar because Sarah insisted that Abraham go in unto her hand maid because Sarah did not TRUST GODS PROMISE! ABRAHAM HEARKENED UNTO HIS WIFE AS ADAM ALSO HEARKENED UNTO EVE!
Isaac was born to the free woman:
Ishmael was born to the bond women:
Jews vs Born again Christians:
Jews were Gods chosen people from day one.
Born again Christians can be of any nationality and blood line: These are those which are saved by the blood of the lamb. Our Lord Jesus Christ and have been adopted into Gods kingdom. It was not by birthright but by free choice.
Israel is still Gods chosen people. Therefore, Islam is in direct rebellion against Gods chosen people or beter yet....a Holy war where brother is against brother. Islam worships a false God. Islam is a huge thorn that was created by sin GOD will ultimately win the war against Islam but I have my doubts as to weather or not Christians here in he U.S. will stand against this evil force.
