There is NO Compromising

Sometimes you need to compromise.

You've heard that right? Sometimes you need to compromise, to get most of what you want. You need to compromise to ensure everyone gets something. You need to compromise your message, to win more people to God.

Oh yeah. It is said all the time.

"If you lighten up a bit, and compromise a bit, you will have more people listen to what you have to say about God and The Bible."

Suggestions??

"Well, it's 2014. You know what I'm saying. Talk about God, The Bible, Faith, all that, but don't say things like Homosexuality is a Sin. Like I said, it's 2014. No one sees being Gay as a Sin anymore. Besides, who cares? It's OK to be Gay if they want. Forget that.

Also understand that it is the Law of the Land. It has become a Constitutional Right, for a Woman to choose. So go ahead and talk about Noah, Moses, and King David. Talk about how much God loves us. But, uh, stay away from Abortion.

While you are at it, if you really want to get more people to listen to you, you may want to consider leaving out Jesus. Oh Preach The Bible. Talk about Moses, David, Solomon, the Ten Commandments. Talk about how God created everything, and how much He loves us. But leave out that whole Jesus thing. There are so many Religions out there. So many that do not believe in this Jesus. They believe they are going to Heaven.

I mean really? Who really believes that God came to earth as a man named Jesus, and rose from the dead? Really? You are telling people that unless they accept Jesus, they are going to hell. Seriously? That's pretty close minded and offensive. Hell? Seriously, most people do not even believe in Hell, or the Devil, or Demons. Makes for good TV or Movies, but let's leave all that out. We are all God's Children.. Right?"

Are you done?

"Well, that's a start.. You know, just compromise a bit."

There is no compromise.

Homosexuality?

Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Ezekiel 16:48-51, {Think America} Romans 1: 18-32. There is no compromise. The Word is crystal clear that Homosexuality is both an Abomination and Sin to God, and against Nature itself. As a matter of fact, God destroyed entire Cities because of it.

Remember Sodom? God sent two Angels to Sodom to seek out Faithful Children of God, as an answered Prayer to Lot, when this happened???

"Before bedtime, men both young and old and from every part of Sodom surrounded Lot’s house. They called to Lot, “Where are the two men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have sexual relations with them.” Lot went outside to them, closing the door behind him. He said, “No, my brothers! Do not do this evil thing. Look! I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. I will give them to you, and you may do anything you want with them. But please don’t do anything to these men. They have come to my house, and I must protect them.”

The men around the house answered, “Move out of the way!” Then they said to each other, “This man Lot came to our city as a stranger, and now he wants to tell us what to do!” They said to Lot, “We will do worse things to you than to them.” They started pushing him back and were ready to break down the door." {Genesis 19}

You know the story. God destroyed the Cities and even Lot's Wife was killed because she turned back. There is no compromise. The time of Sodom and Gomorrah, or 2014, there is no compromise.

Abortion?

Exodus 20:13, Exodus 21:22-24, Psalm 139. There is no compromise. You have heard Eye for an eye? That was referring to Abortion..

Exodus 21:

22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

So accidental death of an unborn child is even punishable according to God. Of course, if the intent IS to harm the unborn, then one is guilty of Murder. Here is one of those passages that is constantly misunderstood. In many cases, is taught incorrectly.

23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

God is talking about an unborn child here. God says that if men strive to hurt a woman with child, or does so with the intent to harm that child, they are guilty of the Murder of the most innocent of life. If they interfere with God's plan, then the price is simple. If God said, you will have two legs and two arms, and man interferes with that, causing the child to be born with only one arm, then the one that caused it, is required to give up theirs. That is how important that God sees the unborn. His greatest gift to us, save Salvation itself, is Children. Of course Abortion is Murder. The Murder of the most innocent of all life. There is no Compromise.

Preach God, and do good, just leave out Jesus?

Man says, "Jesus is not God, nor anything but a Rabbi. You can get to Heaven any way you see as truth."

The Word says,

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." {John 1:1-14}

Jesus said:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."{John 3:16-18}

Jesus said:

"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."
{John 10:9-11}

Jesus said:

"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him." {John 14:6-7}

There is no compromise. Oh, you can wash all the Pots and Pans you want. You can Pray to the West all you want. You can say "Hail Mary" all you want. You can abstain from Meat all you want. It doesn't matter. Man made Traditions called Religion, doesn't matter. Without the acceptance for the Sacrifice of Jesus for you, without the Spirit of Adoption {Romans 8} you will in no means enter into Heaven. Without Jesus, your Religion is worthless.

"Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain." {Psalms 127:1}

Without Jesus, you have nothing. There is no compromise. It doesn't matter if you are Black, White, Male, Female, Rich, Poor, Muslim, Jew, Christian, Presbyterian, Buddhist, or anything else. All are false and useless. Without Jesus, there is no God. Without Jesus, there is no Salvation. Without Jesus, you are already dead. There is no compromise.

Saying that you need to compromise when you are teaching The Word of God, means telling people half Truths and Lies. It means idle and useless talk that produces nothing. It can also be a tool of the enemy to actually KEEP people from the Truth. No thank you. I will serve the Lord and I will teach His Word. You compromise all you want. I do not have time.

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}
