Sin Is Still Sin

What was Sin, still is Sin, and will kill you quicker at that.

You know, I get so tired of people telling me that I need to "evolve." They tell me I need to "get with the times." "It's 2013 after all." "People just do not see it {Various things} as Sin anymore. Deal with it." "You do not accept the way things are because you are a Hateful, small minded, Prejudice person." "Who are you to tell others how to live." And so on.

They want you to believe that Morality is determined by the Majority. That if enough people say something is Right and Good, than it is. Or if enough people say something is Bad, it is. It may take generations, but this is how it works. A group of people believe that even though, the Majority says something is wrong now, they try to convince people that they are wrong. In time, if more and more people accept it, then they start twisting the Truth around, and even attack those that still disagree. In time, the Majority shifts it's opinion, and in essence, turns that Bad to Good. That Sin to Normalcy. To Righteousness even. They actually change the Truth of God, into a Lie..

Romans 1:
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
"Oh, you are against Homosexuality? You must hate people that are different than you. What's wrong with a long lasting loving relationship? How does two men and or two women getting Married affect you? It's 2013. Come on. Gay people are people too. Just accept it. You Homophobe."

"Oh, you are against a Woman's 'Right' to slaughter their Child? You must hate women." "It's OK to steal from the Rich, as long as you are giving to the Poor." "It's OK to silence those that you disagree with, they may stir things up and lead others to see things differently than you. But you have a Right to say whatever you want." "Morality? WHOSE MORALITY?" "You do not need to accept Jesus. God is whatever you see Him, or Her, as" And so it goes.

Exodus 20:
20 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.
Matthew 22:
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Jesus tells us that the way to lead a full and abundant Life is simple.

Matthew 6:
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
It doesn't matter what man says. All that matters is what God says. Jesus is telling us that we need to seek Him. His Will. His Way. His Truth. God is Love. God is Truth. Anything other than what God says, is a lie. It really is this simple. If you KNOW the Truth, you will not fall for the Lie. If you understand what God tells you, you will not care what Man says.

"Worship any god you chose, or no god at all." Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Astrology, Horoscopes, Witchcraft, Statues, Jewelry. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Cursing, denying, rejecting, attacking those that believe? Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 24-7 lifestyle? Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Gay Marriage? Family? Nursing Homes? ETC. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. First Commandment with promise.

Abortion? Thou shalt not kill. Marriage? Thou shalt not commit adultery. Redistribution of wealth. Eminent Domain? Thou shalt not steal. Lying, Gossip, Rumors, Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Envy, Lust, "Keeping up with the Jones's"? Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.

In today's America, and the World, many Sins have been totally changed and accepted. Some are even called Right and encouraged. As a Nation that was founded on Judeo / Christian beliefs, and where the Motto is "One Nation under God," and "In God we trust," we do not even know who God is anymore. We violate His Commandments on a daily bases. Worse than that, we have decided to "Do as we will" and forget the concept of Sin itself.

This is why there is a move to remove God from public life. No God, no devil, no Hell, no reason for a Saviour. Just do as you will. Live as you will. As long as you are not hurting anyone, then who cares? Problem with an "Anything Goes" mentality? Simply put, anything goes. It's OK to slaughter your unborn Child prior to 6 weeks. Uh, 20 weeks. No, 26 weeks. Wait, why 26? Why not be able to kill it at 9 months? Now? You get the point. Thou shalt not kill.

It's OK to flirt. It's normal. Healthy even.

Matthew 5:
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
It's ok to mess around. As long as you do not have intercourse. It all depends on what "IS" is. But wait, if the Spouse don't mind, then go for it. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

You see, people hate the Law. Why? Because they feel it is restrictive and even oppressive. They want to be able to do whatever they chose to do. So they change it. Omit parts of it. Or just flat out ignore it. But that doesn't mean it actually changes or no longer applies. It IS what it is. Sin IS Sin. God warns us against Sinning, not to make our lives more difficult, but to make our lives simpler and to protect us from ourselves and the snares of the devil himself..

 Some examples?

Fornication. Premarital Sex. Adultery. First, if you do not wish to get pregnant, contract a sexually transmitted disease, DO NOT HAVE SEX.. You can't get drunk if you do not open the bottle. You can not crash your car if you do not get behind the wheel. Pretty simple to understand. Love your spouse? Don't want to hurt them or lose them? DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE ELSE. Pretty simple to understand. Yes, it IS your fault. You were flattered at the attractive person paying attention to you at the office. YOU chose to do what you did.

It really is easy to understand. The Speed limit here is 70. If I go 70, that law no longer applies to me. I could go past a hundred Police Cruisers. They will not even look at me twice. Now if I go 90, I will have an issue. The Law comes into play, I will get a ticket. It will cost me a lot. Is it the Policeman's fault I got pulled over and fined? Nope. It was mine. Don't want to get pulled over and be given a ticket? Drive the Speed Limit. It does not matter if you decide that the speed limit should be 90. It IS 70.

Murder is still Murder from when Cain Slew Abel.  Marriage is still between one man and one woman from Adam and Eve. Stealing is still Stealing and Sin from the time God said "Thou shalt not steal." Greed is still Greed since God said "Thou shalt not covet." God is still God. His Word is still His Word..

Matthew 24:
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
1 Peter 1:
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Jesus is still the same yesterday, today, and forever, and there is no other way. He IS the Way. Nothing has changed. Nothing has evolved. Nothing is different just because some have changed their minds. Nothing is old fashioned. God's Truth is the same as it has always been, and always will be. Regardless of what man wants you to believe. Get with the times? No. I say, get with the Truth.

Do you know Jesus as your Savior? Have you been adopted into the Family of God? If not, say this Prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be. Say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will hear you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us Pray..

"Oh heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Jesus's sacrifice for me. I repent my sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Jesus, Amen!"

That's it. It really is that simple. Now go tell someone what you have just done. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." {Romans 10:9} You need to find a Church that God leads you to, and be Baptized the way Jesus said to be. You are now a Child of God. A new Creature. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." {Colossians 3:10}
