Hello my dear brethren in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. All glory to God. I had work to do and it seemed to me that you all had your minds really made up so I left you to yourselves and see what you have done? Do you feel very righteous now? The fact that the church is not upholding the law of God but following after laws made by men is the basic sin and reason for this judgment of God. His judgment is to allow nations like Scotland to approve sodomy and then we ourselves are mired in the mess we have not risen up against. We allowed this to happen because churches are so busy entertaining themselves and patting themselves on the back that we are not fighting against sin, either in ourselves or our neighbors. "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him." Sodomy is against the law of God. Will we support a nation that supports evil? The civil magistrate is one described in Romans 13 as "a minister of God to thee for GOOD...he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doest EVIL." We are not to follow after rulers that do evil. We are not to follow after Hitlers or Stalins. We are not to follow after sodomites. But as he which hath called |

Unprofitable servant, can you see how if you start with the 1st amendment that you have started with the wrong premise?Why? Because it tolerates evil, such as pornography and idolatry. These things are against the law of God. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth..." not the founding fathers of the United States. From Two Sons of Oil by Samuel Wylie: "... All this delegated or derived power should be exercised to his glory, and regulated by his law... “Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of GOD.” To effect this end, all our powers should be directed; and of this, his law is the unerring rule. By this, therefore, all rational beings are indispensably bound. GOD has given them no right to do what it prohibits. To suppose men to possess any such right, is wicked and blasphemous. This would be the same as to suppose GOD to say to them, “I, as the Supreme Legislator, give you my law. To the least breach of it, I annex the penalty of eternal damnation; yet I give you a right to violate this my law, and to wage war with your GOD, and direct your artillery against the Sovereign of the Universe!!!” The Scriptures inform us otherwise...." |

"And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting,and sackcloth, and ashes: And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and to our fathers, and to all the people of the land. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee...God's people may be safe in Christ but they are often punished in this world by a loving Father. |

Our covenant with God... according to the Holy Scripture we are in covenant with God if we are his...if we are Abraham's seed...I see an awful lot of what I would call worldliness in the church these days. Being an older woman, I have seen great changes in our society since I was a little girl and they were not toward godliness, let me assure you. People professing Christ, even "ministers" making jokes in the pulpit while people are dying and going to hell all around them. There is no fear of God in these churches. Many go home from church and turn on the television and do not meditate on God's word or what they have heard. They have no idea of the fourth commandment. A great many people professing Christ these days are LAZY and PROFANE. They are in the broad road to destruction. We are being judged because we are NOT following after Christ our Lord. I submit to you, John, that whatever prayers are going up to God and whatever studying they are doing of his word must be a pitiful small part of their lives. "If ye love me, keep my commandments." |

Mr. John, We need to be faithful to God and that is how the plagues of sordid government will be stopped. We need to be faithful to our covenant. We need to read the word of God, listen to word of God, pray to God, ask for his Spirit, ask for understanding of his Word, ask for his kingdom to come; ask that we be not led into temptation, eschew pride, arrogance, inordinate lusts, , covetousness, idolatry, worldliness and walk in holiness in all we do and say. We cannot do this without the grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We must ask him for it. |

That we are plagued by our own unfaithfulness to God, John.From the Solemn League & Covenant sworn by our forefathers to God: II. That we shall, in like manner, without respect of persons, endeavour the extirpation of Popery, Prelacy (that is, Church government by archbishops, bishops, their chancellors and commissioners, deans, deans and chapters, archdeacons, and all other ecclesiastical officers depending on that hierarchy), superstition, heresy, schism, profaneness, and whatsoever shall be found contrary to sound doctrine and the power of Godliness; lest we partake in other men's sins, and thereby be in danger to receive of their plagues; and that the Lord may be one, and his name one, in the three kingdoms... |

My dear, dear brothers in Christ, If we do not speak to one another about our differences there is no hope at all...And yes, things could be worse and probably will be. Mr. Frank, Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but NOW (my emphasis) is my kingdom not from hence." Our Lord must be crucified for our sins and not rescued from the cross. Okay...what do we pray for in the Lord's prayer? If this world were to remain in Satan's hands, why would the Lord ask us to pray that his kingdom come, that his will be done on earth, as it is in heaven? And see Revelation 11:15: "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." This is true. |

Here is the first Amendment of the United States of America:Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Here is the First Commandment of the One True Living God: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. These two statements cannot be reconciled. We must choose one. The first is from fallible men. The second, (which was actually first) is from an infallible, eternal, infinite, just, unchangeable, Almighty, all-wise, good God, all true. Who will we stand with? That is all that Erik is pleading. To stand with both is like standing between the boat and the dock. We will get (and have gotten) wet... |

Please explain, Lurker, why, when Jesus was punished for our sins that he could not at the same time love us whom he died for.In fact, he still does love us and intercedes for us everyday. (Hebrews 7:25) Read Hebrews 12:7 to be sure that punishment is not hateful, but loving. God is love, as you have written. Here is my explicit text as requested: "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love for us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. " |

Beloved, there is such a thing as gospel obedience to the law of God. Yes, Jesus fulfilled all the righteousness of all law because we cannot possibly do it. Obeying the moral law of God does not merit us righteousness - we can only have that through the blessed Son of God. The Ten Commandments define what love is, see Romans 13: 8-10: Matthew 22:37-40. "If ye love me keep my commandments." John 14:15However, what gospel obedience means is rather well defined by a preacher named Thomas Watson: "To obey the law in a legal sense - to do all the law requires - no man can. Sin has cut the lock of original righteousness, where our strength lay; but, in a true gospel sense, we may so obey the moral law as to find acceptance. This gospel obedience consists in a real endeavour to observe the whole moral law. 'I have done thy commandments' (Psa cxix 166); not, I have done all I should do, but I have done all I am able to do; and wherein my obedience comes short, I look up to the perfect righteousness and obedience of Christ, and hope for pardon through his blood. This is to obey the law evangelically; which, though it be not to satisfaction, yet it is to acceptation." - From The Ten Commandments by Thomas Watson, 1692 |
