Note: The below are
three brief articles that appeared in the local newspaper.
The
Majority Know “Another” Jesus
The church at
1. John 3:18-21. This follows John
3:16 which everyone can quote. The reason for not accepting Christ’s word is you
love darkness rather than Light. The motive for not coming is your fear that
your evil deeds will be identified for what they really are!
2. John 4:17-18. That someone who is
just living with you is not your husband and you are fornicators!
3. John 5:44. Your mutual backslappers
club that loves the praise of man more than God will never get honor from
God!
4. John
8:31-32. Those who tell you that you cannot know the truth are the liars!
5. John 6:26. You are coming for the
food and your own selfish desires and God knows it!
6. John 7:24. When will you quit judging by appearance, emotion and worldly
standards? When you ignore God’s word, justice is never upheld, the wicked
surround the righteous and justice comes out perverted!
7. John
9:41. Quit saying that you understand God’s word for you don’t accept it when
you hear it!
8. John
14:24. Who in the world told you that the fact you don’t keep My words does not
prove that you do not love Me? (cp. Jo. 14:15, I Jo. 2:3-5)
9. John
15:22. You have no pretense (excuse) for your sin because you have heard My
word!
The
Majority Know “Another” Jesus #2
The church at
1. Luke
6:43-45. Bad conduct comes from an evil heart. Only flatterers and those who
stand to gain for themselves blame alcohol, drugs and “addictions” for one’s
bad conduct (cp. Rom. 6:16).
2. Luke
6:46-49. You hypocrite! While praising Jesus as Lord you please your- self and
do not do what He says.
3. Luke
8:4-15. You chocked His Word! His word is not in your life and you will be lost
for putting the activities of life, your riches, and the pleasures of the world
first before Him.
4. Luke
13:1-5. Quit talking about those
whom you think represent the ones going to hell. Realize that you are going to
hell if you don’t study His word, repent and obey! (cf. Mk. 16:15-16; Acts 2:37-41; I Cor.
6:8-10; 2 Th. 1:7-10)
5. LK.
11:42-44. The human tradition you obey causes you to despise Christ’s justice,
and the true love of God that rebukes and convicts the sinner! You love the
praise man gives more than you love God (cp. Jo.
6. Lk.
11:45-52. You say you are insulted. Here’s more! You have locked the door to
salvation by your human tradition. You allow others the wickedness you yourself
partake of, and you work hard to keep others from truly repenting and obeying
the Gospel!
The
Majority Know “Another” Jesus #3
The church at
1. Matt.
15:19. Homosexuality is sin. Jesus’
condemnation of “fornications” includes illicit sexual intercourse such as
adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, and intercourse with animals!
2. Matt.
19:3-9. You do not have a right before God to do as you like by divorcing your
mate for just any reason. To do so “except for fornication” and marry another
is to commit adultery, and whoever marries the one who is put away commits
adultery!
3. Matt. 28:18-20. Jesus has “all”
authority. “All” means “all”! Being “multi-faith” is not a possibility with
Christ! Some tolerate fools who make statements about “inter-faith”
possibilities being exciting!
4. Matt. 28:18-20. If you have not
been baptized into Christ for the remission of your sins you are not yet saved!
The point at which Christians equally share in having forgiveness of sins and
blessings “in Christ” is their obedience in baptism as a result of their own
faith in His word (cf. Rom. 10:17; Gal. 3:26-27;I Cor. 12:13; Acts 2:38-42).
5. Matt. 22:21. The local church
acting collectively has no business in politics and the government has no
business telling the church what to believe and practice! The church is in the
business of saving souls! (cf. 1 Tim. 3:15; I Cor. 14:26)
