BLOOD ON THE CROSS
God has presented us with the most marvelous opportunity in the history of the world. Although He knows all, He is giving the entire
world a clear picture of His word as given us by His Son, Jesus Christ.
More about this a bit later, after we've examined the meaning and proof of Christian faith. Christ shed His innocent blood for us on the cross to provide salvation, cleansing of sins, and eternal life. While on earth, He was the perfect example for us and gave us directions on how to be a Christian. He taught faith in Him, which we loosely call "Christian faith." People who claim to be Christians don't recall Christ did not reject any faith in God. All faiths believe in some spiritual power, even in themselves. The difference is eternal life.
Some of us American Christians have already had our faith tested, and many non Christians have similarly passed the test of faith, although not as Christians. The test was the pledge a military person makes upon entering service. We pledge our life, if necessary, to protect our Constitution, the nation, and all people in America. Some service people die to fulfill that pledge. Others suffer debilitating physical or mental wounds. It is a pledge to give shed blood to serve the nation. Those service people not Christians have given the same sacrifice. These people include, whites, blacks, American Indians, Jews, other religious faiths and atheists. All blood represents life, and all are precious to God and Christ. If you harbor any prejudice against any of these people, you are a failed Christian. Sorry, folks, but Jesus didn't close the door to anyone. You still have a chance to change your ways until He returns. Better not tarry.
If you know any scripture at all, you should be familiar with the final words of Christ before He went to Heaven. They are found in Matt. 28, verses 19 and 20. This is a simple directive. There are no new laws, no restrictions, no use of force. Memorize them and don't fall prey to the babbling horde who are false teachers, windy politicians, and those who claim membership in any political party. "Go therefore and make disciples of ALL THE NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." If you don't find directions in the four gospels about abortion, same sex marriage, gays or other subjects, don't think for one second you are qualified to put words in Christ's mouth.
Christ commanded them to preach His words to all nations, and that
means all nations, not a select few. He offered salvation to all people, with no restrictions. Most people of the world have not had the opportunity to hear Christ's words. God wants ALL PEOPLE to hear the words of His Son. The Christian church has sent missionaries to carry out His directive, but there are many places where His word has never been heard.
GOD HAS SEEN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH TRY TO CARRY OUT HIS
GREAT COMMISSION, BUT HAS ALSO SEEN IT HAS BEEN TOO MUCH OF
A BURDEN TO COMPLETE. IN HIS WISDOM, HE IS ATTEMPTING TO BRING
THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD TO CHRISTIANS TO ENABLE THESE LOST
PEOPLE TO HEAR THE WORD AND RECEIVE SALVATION. GOD'S PLAN IS THE MIGRATION OF IMMIGRANTS FROM SATAN'S GOVERNMENTS TO THE CHRISTIANS IN COUNTRIES WHERE CHRIST'S TEACHING CAN TAKE PLACE. THIS IS A COMPLICATED SITUATION, BUT IT CAN BE SOLVED THROUGH CHRISTIAN FAITH, NOT THE FAILED FAITH OF MEN.
When Christ died on the cross, even the disciples were failed Christians. They kept their distance, and to their shame, weren't as faithful as the women. These men later realized their shaky contract with Christ made them a fraud. Christ delivered with His death, while they cowed and hid in fear. When they became HONEST Christians, they "manned up." They realized their fear demonstrated their lack of FAITH. At least they weren't motivated by greed. They became the preachers of Christ's words, and didn't add their own directions, except to point out cosmetic problems of culture. These corrections were not to alleviate sins, but to make acceptance of the word easier. Their conscientious preaching of the word frequently landed them in jail and sometimes brought about torturous death. These early Christians, once they followed the Holy Spirit's leading, conquered fear.
Today's CINO "Christians" are worse than the early disciples, because they have TWO major sins driving them---GREED and FEAR. Except for military personnel and a few missionaries, no other American citizens have OFFERED their life for the nation. They speak loudly of patriotism, but don't hesitate to violate our Constitution. There are two kinds of CINOs: greedy wannabe leaders in politics AND the church, and those people who refuse to become educated and actually understand issues such as the Constitution. The CINOs base part of their campaigns on eliminating the national education program. They are replacing textbooks with their personal version of history, just as the Muslims revise history. This is the method used to bring about a theocracy.
By limiting and corrupting education, a large number of our citizens are unable to detect the shameless lies of political and church leaders. By limiting the ability to vote, major segments of the citizens are unable to change the trend toward a theocracy that always turns into a DICTATORSHIP. German Christians idly watched while Hitler crushed the Jews. Some conservatives are ignoring this, and instead blaming President Roosevelt for the United States refusing to accept a boatload of Jewish immigrants. The truth is he did refuse to accept those people BECAUSE the American CONGRESS did not want to accept Jews. If you lived in the United States before the 1960s, you would know Jews could not be elected to national office because they were of a "different" religion. Does that ring any bells for some of you, especially using the pulpit? By not calling out religious discrimination by Christians as well as against Christians, you are encouraging use of force and unconstitutional laws. The KKK claims Christianity, but it has become more dangerous today than in the past, because it is a pathway for intimidating voters and encouraging police to become personal judges and eliminators of unwanted people. The justice systems are increasingly becoming CINO strongholds.
Many governors, mostly conservatives, are defying the Constitution by instituting laws to please their agenda. They are joined by their fellow conservatives in Congress to pass legislation directly opposed to the freedom given their ancestors who were originally immigrants. These CINOs are already exhibiting advanced greed by violating Christ's teaching of compassion as practiced in Acts 2:44-47. If you read these
passages, you could have an understanding of Christian socialism. It is taught by Christian leaders. They are instructed today to teach that socialism forbids personal property ownership. That is completely false. Socialism is the compassionate sharing of necessities. You may go to Acts 4:32-37, and say personal ownership was lost because some people gave everything away. Did you note they gave it to the fledgling church--the disciples? How do you suppose those donors survived after giving away their earthly possessions? They believed God would take care of them through FAITH. Matt. 6:21 tells us, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Does your faith tell you these people who gave away their possessions, or even the widow and her two mites (Luke 21:2-3) were then beggars? It is senseless to give for the wrong reason, or to impress fellow Christians. See Acts, chapter 5. The couple lied about their money to the Holy Spirit, and were struck dead. Your material possessions count for absolutely nothing in your journey to Heaven. Just giving anything away is not an act of faith without a compassionate reason.
So much for money and greed; what are lives worth? Three fourths of the immigrants are women and children. You don't care if the babies starve to death or die of disease? Then you must love abortion. Or are you like the couple in Acts 5--two faced? Now let's move on to FEAR. To examine your status as either a bona fide, genuine Christian or a CINO, who do you fear, God, thugs, suicide bombers, ISIS, Arabs, or all of the preceding? A true Christian's answer is God. That means you trust Christ's word (as He said in the Great Commission). Before Christ came people were warned, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever," (Psalms 111:10) A soldier has fear, but he/she overcomes it to do the RIGHT THING. The right thing is to obey God's and Christ's commandments. If you fear for your life (as so many rogue cops do so they can safely murder some selected people) and don't trust in God, you are on your own. It's a wonderful thing, that our military people fear God more. Consider many of them aren't even Christians. If you don't trust God's plan for your Christian life, quit claiming you're a Christian. Our firemen, many of whom are volunteers, place their life in peril and face fear head on. The medical people who work with victims of deadly communicable disease face fear head on.
Shame on the governors and politicians and CINOs who use fear to deny the opportunity to lead millions of lost people to Christ. The only thing they fear is losing votes, a fat pension and elective office. Shame on CINOs who refuse to share the burden of helping these people. Your money and possessions are more important to you than lives. Most of these uncaring governors already have placed greed and position over compassion for the health and welfare of large segments of the people. They promote fear and greed because it works. Satan is loving every minute. He has to use a computer to keep a tally on the CINOs who are joining his people. You can delete this message and ignore the words of Jesus Christ. But, I find it difficult to explain the word of God to unbelievers and people of other faiths because of the hypocrisy CINOs exhibit. God has given us a golden opportunity to explain and exhibit the Christian WAY as taught by Christ. America is on TRIAL.
