Politics
I would like to know everyone's thoughts on the taking down of the Ten Commandments in Montgomery, Alabama and Judge Roy Moore. Personally, I think it was a message from God rather than an act of evil. The message being, we should hang them up in our own homes rather than publically. Allowing the Holy Spirit to lead me to the understanding of Scripture, has also led me to believe that the Ten Commandments was intended mainly for the unrighteous and the unbeliever and intended for the believer, to use only, as laws to govern their own lives while travelling on the path to His righteousness. What I'm saying is, they were never intended for the believer to use, as a tool, to appear righteous or more righteous than others while trying to impose their will on others. If christians want to really change the worldview of the church then they need to put actions to words and learn to walk Christ like and show love instead of anger and hatred. When is the Church going to learn from history and quit dividing itself on political issues? Judge Roy Moore, in my opinion, is doing nothing more than campaigning for an agenda that we are yet to see, and the real Roy Moore is yet to be seen as well. He is attracting some heavy hitters and receiving undying support from many of the mainline churches and coalitions starting with one of the biggest, Focus on the Family. When Jesus Christ came, He did not come here for the righteous but instead, for the poor and oppressed. In the end, it was the laity who ended up nailing Him to the cross. Until we learn to walk in the Ten Commandments and understand that anything or anyone, above God, is nothing but idolatry, can we begin to understand His true righteousness and honestly seek His wisdom. Religion is nothing more than traditions that has allowed itself to be defined by man's laws and political issues. The sad part is that we've allowed these traditions to get a strong foothold on christianity and the one and only church, the Church of Jesus Christ. The Gospel has been prostituted and demonized enough and its now time to take a stand. It's time to draw a line in the sand and claim hot or cold because there is no lukewarm. In the last 15 months, the time that I began my close spiritual walk with our Lord, there has been one man, that I went to hear speak recently, that spoke a true message to my heart that led to opening my eyes to the real Gospel, allowing me to separate the real garbage that blurred my vision tremendously. This man, to my knowledge, is the only person living today to go through a real trial for heresy and come out, not only a survivor, but a better person. When I say, better person, I'm saying someone that truly understands God's purpose and truly allows Him to mark his course. His name is Tony Campolo and you can listen to his lectures livestreaming on the internet at www.tonycampolo.org.
I pray that, you who reply, will give this some serious thought in seeking His wisdom, as to what to say, that would be true to His will and help guide me as a prophetic message from our Lord and Saviour. I also pray, that those who read this posting and desire to reply, that their hearts be pierced in such a way, to bring purpose, meaning, and understanding, that it was by no accident for you to even read this posting, little lone, feeling the need for an urgent reply of the utmost integrity and wisdom, and that all things important in life, here on earth, is only by His will and for the sole purpose of bringing honor and glory to our Heavenly Father and His precious Son, Jesus Christ, that out of love became our sins and became the sacrificial lamb to insure our salvation and eternity in the Kingdom Of God. May God continue to bless us with His grace so that we may humble ourselves to seek His wisdom through His word.
Now, before you jump to a hesitant reply, let me tell you a brief history of myself and where I am coming from on this particular issue.
I have been on a spiritual walk with our Lord for a little over a year now. What I am trying to accomplish is, getting christians just to open up their minds and hearts and to quit being like lost sheep led to slaughter. What concerns me the most is the body of Christ, ie. the church, and the issues they choose to take a stand on. I just think the Church has much greater problems to overcome instead of opening themselves up for more public ridicule. I honestly hope and pray that Judge Moore is personally on the right side of God, due to the fact, since he is recruiting such a strong army of christian conservatives. I, for one, have been a conservative all my life but I have come to realize that they tend to force their views, alot of the times, in a poor light instead of through love and kindness. For instance, where was their protest on no fault divorce, prayer in schools, and abortion. They now take a stand on partial birth abortion but where were they on just the issue on abortion. Look at the divorce rate now and the torn apart families. Society complains continually about our youth but is it their fault, I hardly think so. From the moment that family is torn apart, the government is so intertwined in that family's life, the rebellious child simply is the byproduct of the evil. Another example, the bible was taken out of our public schools and where was the Church protest? What most people doesn't know is, the Supreme Court never said the Bible could not be taught but in fact said, doctrine and ideology could not be taught. Case in point, if the Church cannot force their doctrine and views, why bother? I say, lets put the Bible back and teach it just like history and literature and let our youth form their own views and convictions. I firmly believe if we nailed the Ten Commandments up in our homes, instead of publically, we would start seeing alot more healthy society, more family stability, and juvenile delinquency.
God Bless,
Gary Rose.
