It’s on You to CHOOSE

So the current Church of today is a difficult place in which to bring forward the messages of The One God from His written and visible Word.

Compromise and liberal thinking that wishes to not bring offenses or to hurt anyone’s feelings has created a Church that serves A Bible Buffet, just take what appeals to you and discard the rest. After all is said and done, God just loves you and has nothing but good for you, AND THAT IS TRUE, as far as it goes.

God does NOT have bad things to lay upon us WHEN we walk on the Pathway of Righteousness. He promises to us His blessings and protection. Psalm 91.

It is not God Who places the injuries, losses and sorrows on the Path of Unrighteousness. It is the Devil that does that. Let us not blame God for what the Devil does.

What the Church is not teaching is that the Devil has authority over The Path of Unrighteousness.  IF you choose to walk on that Path you, YOU, not God, have given the Devil YOUR permission to whack you.

That is why the Churches have within their membership those who think they can live in both Paths, and neither God nor the Devil will notice.

We are all aware that God sees everything we do BUT are we taught that the Devil and his minions are also watching?  No.  And they will not miss a chance to attack and legitimately so, because we gave our permission for it.

The choice(s) is ours. We give our permission to God to bless us, or the Devil to curse us.

IF you really knew that those principles are taught in the Scriptures would you be more careful about the choices made? I am!

But do not be unaware, do not think that God will never get enough and render justice over a situation.

Hear Paul: Speaking to the Romans, Chapter 11.

Paul is conversing with the non-Jews about how the some Jews were offended that God was now including the non-Jews into His Salvation Plan through Jesus and His Sacrifice of blood, life, and His Resurrection.

Paul was telling them that the Jews had been ignoring God’s righteous ways and God got tired of it. That happened many times and it is recorded in the First Testament over and over through the years. God got tired of it because they did not repent. At times He would permit them to be defeated, they would repent and God would forgive, but many had perished by the time they got around to it.

So Paul says, “Do you think that if God was willing to cut them off that He will be any less likely to cut you off if you keep indulging in sin?

Paul follows with the fact that “God will restore Israel WHEN they come to Jesus, God’s Plan for Salvation.”

Paul also said that God can likewise restore ANYONE, Jew or Gentile, WHEN they repent of their sins to Jesus, and ask for forgiveness and THEN stop the sinning.

That is true repentance when we quit the sinning, and God always forgives us when we ask for forgiveness, no matter what the sin, even murder.

However, we must be aware that the choice(s) are ours. The Devil cannot make us choose wrong and God won’t make us do right. It’s our choice.

"So choose this day whom you will serve."  Joshua

How will you know what activites God says is sin and what God calls righteous?

Get a Bible, I like The Message, but get a Bible and read it for yourself. You will not likely hear this list of things God calls SIN from most Pulpits.
