You and a loved one are waking down the street. They are someone you love with your whole heart. You come to a place where there is a sign saying "Play with these." You look and see that "These" are long wooden Matches. They are resting on a Gasoline container. Your loved one gets so excited and wants to play with the Matches. You try to say "No. Please don't." But you see how happy they are to do it. So perhaps you take a step back.
Someone come up at this point and says, "Why are you so sad?" You say, "Because my loved one is playing with Matches next to Gasoline." The Stranger says "So?" "So? They could die a horrible fiery death if the Gasoline ignites." The Stranger says "Look. Look how happy they are. Have they ever seemed happier to you? This is their choice. Not yours. Who are you to dictate how your loved one finds happiness? Besides, how does this affect you? Just keep your opinion to yourself and walk away. They even say that this is safe now. There is no threat. No danger. Gasoline will simply turn everything into beautiful lights and pretty pictures. Have some Compassion will ya? You say you love them. Have some Compassion and let them be happy. Celebrate that they have found something that makes them happy and just love them for who they are. They were not happy not playing with Matches. Now they have found their true Happiness. Stop being so angry, and just be happy for them."
What is TRUE Compassion in this case? IS true Compassion letting them play with the Matches on the Gasoline Container? Even though you KNOW that it may ignite and your friend may be burned to death? Or is true Compassion trying to stop them from doing this and warning them with all you can to stop?
"Keep your 'Religion' to yourself. Have Compassion for those who do not see things like you. Live and let live. Compassion says you shut up and allow all to be happy with whatever they seem to be happy with. It's 2019 after all. All those things you call 'Sin' are pretty much legal or even celebrated today. You are the one with the problem. Not them. What is wrong with a Woman choosing what to do with her own body? What is wrong with a long-lasting loving relationship? Who are you to say that anyone should believe in 'Your Jesus'? Have some Compassion man. There is nothing wrong with any of it. There is no such thing as God or 'Sin.' Get over yourself."
Here are some Verses that you really need to read for yourself. Abortion? Exodus 20:13, Exodus 21:22-24, Psalm 139. There is no Compromise. There is no Compassion in the Slaughter of the most Innocent of all Lives. 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. It is not Compassion to tell someone, go ahead, you are as equal and right, like everyone else. While you know, they could very well be on their way to Hell.
Jesus IS the only way to Heaven? John 14:6, Matthew 7:21–27, John 6:63, He promised that those who believe in Him will have Eternal Life John 3:14–15. He is the gate of the sheep John 10:7; The Bread of Life John 6:35; and the Resurrection John 11:25. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
There is no Compassion in not telling someone that God is real and He loves them. There is no Compassion in telling someone that they have their life to decide. Time is ticking.
“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." {Isaiah 55:6-9}Time is ticking. Jesus IS coming back. There will come a time when time runs out. Even that Stranger that is trying to convince you there is no Sin will kneel before God.
"for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” {Romans 14:11}Sin is real. Sin brings forth Death.
"Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death." {James 1:15}Eternal separation from God. Hell. This is a horrible Eternal Existence that your loved one may be facing. How much do you TRULY love them? Enough to have 'Compassion' and allow them to do whatever they want even though you know what is about to happen? Or is true Compassion trying to warn them to stop and to change the course they are on now, while there is still time? There is a better way.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. {Romans 6:23}Now you do need to keep this in mind also. This is all you can do. All you can do is inform. Warn. Let them know the Danger they are in. We all have Free Will. They either accept what you are trying to tell them. Or they do not.
After you tell them the Truth, they say, "I do not believe in God." Or "I do not believe that you have to accept Jesus to get to Heaven." Or "Religion is for Idiots." Something to this effect. Have you failed? Have you not communicated properly? Are you responsible for the fact that they will now die, not accepting Christ, and forever be cast out?
The simple answer is NO. You have fulfilled your Obligation. You are now free and clear. You have told them the Truth. You are not responsible for their decision to accept or not.
"When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul." {Ezekiel 33: 8-9}It is TRUE Compassion, and even your Responsibility, to tell people the Truth. It is TRUE Compassion and even your Responsibility to live as God commanded us to live. It is NEVER true Compassion to allow people you claim to care about, continue unabated in a Life that will lead to destruction and death.
No matter what, you should at the very least ask? 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 and His Sacrifice for me. I believe that He raised from the Dead. 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}
