Why the Bible is Truth, Today

 We are in the Bible, today. 

Did you know we are living out Bibicle prophecies today? As we speak? We are in Biblical time now. Today. Look around. What do you see? Read the following carefully. Romans 1:18-32

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

For this reason, God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them."

Now there is a wealth of information here. First,

"For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things."

This country was founded on the Gospel. "In God, We Trust" is on our Money. Our "Declaration of Independence" states "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Our Constitution's first amendment reads this way "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." That is freedom OF Religion. NOT freedom FROM Religion. Sorry, there is no wall.

Yet? The whole reason we even exist as a country is being forgotten and done away with. We do not honor God. As a matter of fact, we as a nation violate the whole basis of our laws, the Ten Commandments, on a daily basis

1- Have no other gods before God? America today, any god will do. Or even better, no god at all.

2- Thou shall not commit Idolatry. America today? Along with the rest of the world. Money, Self, and even Astrology are our Idols. The Self Idol being an ever-increasing commonplace with the Internet. Look at me. Check out how many followers I have. I may even get paid if I have enough followers. What are they following you for?

3-Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. America today? Keep that God stuff to yourself. He does not belong in society. He is nothing important to the masses.

4- Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. America today? We live in a 24-7-7 society. You do not get to chose, easily, when you or when you do not work. Besides, even if you are off, Saturday is a fun day. A time of drinking and doing all those things you can't during the week.

5- Honour your father and mother. America today? The government has become the father in many households. We have turned away from our obligation and given it to others, including Nursing Homes.

6-Thou shall not commit murder. America today? Abortion.

7- Thou shall not commit adultery. America today? Who cares? It is nothing more than a piece of paper. Everyone has a right to marry anyone. If it does not work out? Who cares? No big deal. We even have tv shows based on people cheating.

8- Thou shall not steal. America today? Well, that all depends. If you are taking money from a millionaire to give it to someone who doesn't have much, that is cool. It's not fair someone has millions and someone else has to struggle to pay bills.

9- You shall not bear false witness. America today? Seriously?

10- Thou shall not covet. America today? Lotto? Lie cheat and steal to get ahead? All is ok. No big deal.

"Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen."

Sadly even some of our churches have gotten away from teaching the truth according to God, yes this is where "TAG" came from, and have started teaching only those things the people want to hear. 2 Timothy 4:3-4

"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths"

The Prosperity Gospel is a big one. It's ok to be gay? Another big one. Abortion is a woman's right. Name it and claim it? There is no hell. No devil. In some cases, there is no god at all. Speaking of Homosexuality?

"For this reason, God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error."

Also see Leviticus 18:1-5, 22-24, 29, Leviticus 20:13, Ezekiel 16:49-51. God is pretty serious about this folks. Of course, I do not now, nor have I ever, advocate, condone, or believe in, violence toward anyone or group, for any reason other than this, they are attempting to murder you. Then you have a right to defend yourself. Other than that, only God knows what is in the individual heart of man. Only God can save. It is not for me to condemn or justify an individual. That is between you and God. We are to love the sinner, but we must be cautious to not justify the sin.

America Today? In America, we have decided to not only accept sin, but we have also decided to justify it. They are clear cut, crystal clear, Sins. They are against God and against nature itself. Yet, as a nation, we have decided to justify them and make them normal. Of course, some will become offended by the message today. I get that.

However? The Truth is the Truth, regardless of your acceptance of it or not. God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. If you find yourself offended by the Word of God, it is YOU that you need to reexamine. Not God.

As a Nation, and other places around the world, not only have we accepted these sins as normal, we have justified them. Even going as so far as to create laws to PROTECT them. We have established them. We have embraced them. Now, if someone like me, points out that these are true, clear cases of sin that God Himself warned us to stay away from, WE are called the ones with the problem. There is a move to actually make it illegal to even speak out against these things. However, none of this changes the fact that they are what they are. sin.

"And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them."

Now, of course, Evolution is all part of this as well. The Universe just happened. The majesty of it just came about. We must worship at the altar of mother earth. That is why scams like global warming, aka "climate Change" works. They have turned it into a religion. Think about that.

Christianity has a God. Christianity has heaven and hell. To get to heaven, you have to accept the Savior. Follow what He says. Do His will. Give of yourself. If you sin and do not become repentant, you do not accept the key, the gift that is Salvation, you go to Hell.

GW or CC has mother earth. GW or CC has a savior. Al Gore. You must do what he says, follow his commandments. If you do, you will go to heaven. A clean, and healthy earth. One that will grant you long life and life for your children. You have to give of yourself, your money. You have to buy carbon offsets from the companies that are being set up. Like the one Al Gore owns. The one he buys from. Then you can be absolved of your sins. But if you sin, say fail to change your light bulbs, then you are evil. You will go to hell. A dead earth that will destroy you and generations to come.

Both are absolutes. There is no questioning. No debating. Both are facts that the followers will fight to their dying breath to convert you. Neither will be swayed from their convictions. To true believers, it is insane that you do not see the "reality" of the situation. That is why it works.

Let's look at the change in our language. Remember when comedians were funny because they were. Not because of the number of curse words they could throw in there. Remember when Parents admonished their children on how they should speak. Remember when hell was actually a bad word, and Jesus THE Christ was Lord only? When if you said "God damn you" you actually meant it?

In Galatians, we learn about the fruit of the works of the flesh. I want you to think about today's society and what is acceptable and what is the norm today.

"Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:19-21

Think politics. Look that the local news. Look at what is being put on television as entertainment today. One of the biggest problems with living in an "anything goes society" is anything goes. But we are not to give in to all this. We are to be above it. Separated from it. Look at Philippians 2:14-15

"Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,"

By doing this, by walking in the spirit, you will no longer receive the fruit of the flesh. You will receive the fruit of the spirit which is this.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things, there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another." Galatians 5:22-25

Today is very much depicted in the Bible. So is tomorrow. A time yet to come. That is what we will be discussing next 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 believed 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 you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, You shall 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
