How Can One Challenge God?

How Dare We Think We Know Better?

In all of my life, I have never seen so many people challenge what God wrote in the Bible. Yes, God had man write what is in the Bible. But God inspired every word and every placement of each word for our benefit.

I am speaking to Christians of today, which seems to be a falling number as the days go by. People that are willing to believe that Christ died on the cross and rose three days later so that we can be free from the chains that sin had on our life. Chains that we brought into our own lives, He paid for willingly, and that His Word is our Truth to live by. I am not speaking to the people that do not believe in Christ, although I would hope that you would come to know Him and how much He loves you and what He gave for your righteousness that you do not even deserve. He loves you so much that He died for you!

All one has to do is turn on the news, the very biased news at that, and see that we are in very dire times. It is actually dangerous time for Christians. We love Jesus with all of our hearts and yet there are so many Christians that will have the nerve to turn away from what God has given to us as a blessing, His Holy Bible. Even reading what the Bible says about how men will turn away from the truth, they turn away from the very truth that is written before them just so they can coddle their flesh, just so they can have their own way, without even realizing that God has given these instructions for our very own good, for our very own life, for our souls to live forever. Not to die in the Lake of Fire.

I find it all very fascinating actually, I used to wonder how the falling away could actually happen. How could people look away from God knowing that it was going to happen ahead of time? How could this happen? Flesh. Our own desires. Our own greed. If we do not bow down before God and ask and beg and plead for our forgiveness, our lives will come to a very horrible end.

Perhaps the horrible news has something to do with that, perhaps they are afraid to stand up for God, and perhaps they are just a part of the deceiving ways of Satan, the falling away. Whatever the reason may be, just know that if you will stand for God to the end He will lift you up and He will glorify you, and you will live for eternity with Him

This world has become more enticed by the fleshly desires and it has ever in all of time. Our children grow up seeing more nudity than they should have the horror of having to witness. Their innocence is taken before they are even able to be innocent. It breaks my heart for the children today. The sin that fills our lives that they have no control over ruins their chances of having a normal life before it even begins, it breaks my broken heart for them into more bits.

What is wrong with what God has commanded, what is wrong with the love that He has shown, what is wrong with Him warning us of what Satan would trick us with? Nothing! There is nothing wrong with the Bible, it is with our dark heart and our dark desires that are lacking in seeing the love that God has given in the pages of the Bible. Our hearts sees it as harshness, as a lack of fun and excitement. When the truth is that if we would walk within It's walls we would know peace and happiness beyond what we could ever imagine in this world. And then comes the next world! Is it not worth it?! I refuse not to find out!

You cannot call yourself a Christian, and not try to live as the Holy Spirit leads you to live. But you're only fooling yourself if you try. The Holy Spirit would never tell you to live a life contrary to the Bible and what it teaches. The Bible itself tells you that is how you know the false prophets from the true. They will teach you the opposite of what the Bible says. How this plain truth can go past the eyes of people I do not understand other than they have a veil across their eyes. They have a veil of wanting sin across their faces that they refuse to accept the truth of what God has mandated in the Bible as good and evil.

The Bible is clear that man's ways are not God's ways, and though we may not understand that or want to accept that, God only wants the best for us, He created us out of love, and when He returns for us, anything you could have imagined as good on this planet, in this life, means nothing compared to what is to come. If you will only trust Him.

God loves each and everyone of us, though each and every one of us sins. Myself included. Just because we sin, it does not mean that He made us that way. He made us perfect and we allowed sin into our lives, we allow death into our lives, and He gave His only begotten Son to fix that. If you do not accept Christ as your Savior you cannot accept the title Christian, and if you do not accept the title of Christian with a heart of repentance, you are but a mere actor, you are not a Christian. 

Judge what is right and wrong for yourself by the Bible's Words and live as God asks, not as you wish, I'd love to worship Him in Heaven some day alongside you. Judging ppl is His job, and He will be doing it soon. Pray, along with me, to be strong enough to stand for Him on that day.

Those that speak out against sin do not hate you or anyone else, they are trying to save other souls from the grips of the devil. Satan knows his time is short, so those speaking against sin are not speaking against people, they are speaking for people. God bless and keep you all.

Judging? No, not at all

2 Timothy 4:2-5
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Jesus sat with the sinners for a reason. For many reasons actually. First of all, He loved them so much that He wanted to show His mercy to them and teach them what about their lives was sinful. Then, the ones that could see His majesty and had faith, those that believed He forgave.
However it did not just end there. He told them to go and sin no more, to turn from their evil ways, to accept His gift and to change their hearts by allowing Him into them, and rejecting the sin out of them.

Nowadays, when you speak about something being sin, you are hushed and called hateful, or even called a bigot, just because you want to show others what Jesus was showing sinners years ago. Sin ruins lives. But this is the generation spoken of in the verses above. They do not wish to hear sound doctrine. They wish to make up their own doctrine and follow that, because it hurts the flesh too much to carry their cross.

Jesus spoke of the end times, which all Christians I believe agree that we are in, and how things would be unlike they had ever been before, and we have not even come to that point of the end times, yet, and already life is becoming immoral and hard for many.

Matthew 24:21-22
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

But back to judging, which is what so many people claim is going on, if a person is trying to save you from the depths of Hell, they are doing as God has asked, to preach to others, exhort sinners to change before  it's too late. They are not judging you. They are sharing pertinent information that is life saving with you, SOUL saving! They actually care about you.

The gift of salvation is free, you cannot earn it, so many will argue that you can lead a sinful life and still be saved. This is so wrong and sad, honestly if you really understand what Jesus did on that cross for us all. He BECAME SIN for us. Every sin you commit, He felt, He paid for,and some are so willing to keep committing them. So willing to keep the lashings going on. Just because He will save us by believing in Him doesn't mean that we can live wicked lives and still be saved. That's not loving Him, or believing in Him, that's using Him.

I praise God that His punishment was paid and done,but to think of all of my sin being a lashing, a whipping, a pounding of the nails, it hurts my heart. It should hurt yours as well. It should make us not want to sin any more!

Oh, how sinful we are! We must exhort each other, we must help each other if we can, pointing the way back to Jesus where our only hope is! That's not judgment, friends, it's love.

If we truly believe what Jesus did for us and if we truly believe in Him,then we believe in the Word because He IS the Living Word.

When Christ returns He WILL judge you. If a Christian shares scriptures with you, they are loving you. NO Christian should be arrogant or condescending,but merely stating that something is sin, is NOT hate.

If you reject the bible, that is your human right, given by God even if you don't believe that, but acting hateful towards Christians that are just doing what God asked them to do doesn't make you better than a person that would be judging you, even if they were.

People are all about getting offended about things in this day and age. Instead of being offended by someone's beliefs,what's wrong with you kindly saying that isn't for you, and respect each other regardless if you agree?

Christ's gift of Salvation is free, but repentance is what you give in return, with His help by allowing Him to live in your heart. Otherwise you're not changed, you're just deluded into believing that you're born again.
