GOD VERSUS UNBELIEVERS Part VI 

 

After God gave the instructions to Adam, another part of human behavior introduced by the serpent to Eve reared its ugly head. It was the lie, which can be called disobedience or failure to follow to the truth. Jesus told the Pharisees that he came from God (John 8:42-44) they didn’t believe him and he had some harsh words of truth for them. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.  Those were strong words and those who heard it didn’t like it. They couldn’t comprehend the words of Jesus because their hearts were attuned to the devil; they heard what he was saying but couldn’t connect what was heard to the meaning he conveyed. The heart turned away from God to the pursuits of the devil cannot speak of anything but the work of Satan.

We saw the work of the devil with George Tiller, the abortion doctor of Kansas, who was killed in a church no less. He saw nothing wrong with butchering the young. Kathleen Sebelius, Health and Human Services Secretary supported him and she sees nothing wrong with abortion. The nut job (aka Barack Hussein Obama) supports abortion and is on record for saying that he would not want his daughters to be ‘punished with a baby’ if they were to make a ‘mistake’ as teenagers (Washington Times, 4/2/08) Payment for abortions in included in the devil inspired health care bill. A majority of Congress supports abortion and they have the nerve to call those of us who abhor it and want to stop it, divisive.

States are allowing homosexuals to “marry” by creating unions that are in opposition of God’s word. So-called churches are blessing the unions and many followers in those churches think that it is okay because God loves everyone. He does, but he has a moral code that is included in his love and when that moral code is violated, he deals out the adverse consequences. Remember Adam and Eve!

Our resources and tax revenue are being used in Africa to help that country deal with Aids. Money is being spent by government researchers to find a cure for sexually transmitted diseases. As long as government sanctions illicit activities, the republic will sink farther into the sewer. Congress, Planned Parenthood and others protest when abstinence is suggested. Why is that? Any teaching of God is wrong and besides, abstinence works. Any plan that is godly is verboten from the word go.   

But even worse, the nut job is on record saying that he follows Jesus. He says he is a “Christian by choice” … because "the precepts of Jesus Christ" helped him envision the kind of life he wanted to lead (Telegaph.co.uk, Monday, January 31, 2011) He also said that Jesus Christ isn’t the only way to heaven.

Worst of all, many people who call themselves Christians, believers and church members, voted for the nut job, a man who is pushing for openly admitted homosexuals be allowed in the military. Rant and rave as you wish at what follows. Anyone who voted for and will vote again for the nut job is equally guilty of his evil ways. Jesus said to the Pharisees in Matthew 12:33-35 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

The principles in those verses apply in our modern era. Whatever is in the heart will be uttered, supported and practiced by those who have their face turned away from Christ and God. How can anyone who says he or she believes in God and follows Christ support anyone who advocates evil?

The evil behaviors of unbelieving humans cannot be blamed on evolution since it cannot explain the origin of evil. (Evil came in due to man’s disobedience to God.)  Evolution cannot create evil and neither can it create morals; it is a man made idea that has no foundation in God. The same people who deny God or claim to know God, and then when whose beliefs and behaviors are opposite of God, are the agents of evil whether they believe evolution or not.  

Those who believe that humans are progressing by promoting that which is evil while calling it good, need to consider what Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 11:14, And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. The evil behaviors that appeal to human desires will in the end bring death to all who do not repent of their ways and turn to God. Isaiah wrote 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!  God is a God of love but he will not entertain evil. In Philippians 3:18-19 we find the result for those turning from Christ, 18  (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

In conclusion, three final verses of warning, For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:30-31) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (I Peter 4:18)
