They are afraid of Islam.
You believe that this nation can countenance the murder of 50 million of God's children and not suffer chastisement?
There is NO Biblical basis for this belief.
The gospel of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ stands against your condemnation of God’s people and the world.
We are now under the new covenant of grace whereby we are no longer under the curse of the law but under grace (Romans 6:14, Galatians 3:13).
Jesus is the reconciliation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD (1 John 2:2).
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, NOT IMPUTING THEIR TRESPASSES UNTO THEM; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation (2 Cor 5:19).
God would be unjust to have judged all the sins of the whole world on the body of Jesus Christ and turn around and judge the same sin now again now. That would be patently unjust and God is not unjust but righteous.
From what I've learned so far, He most certainly does test us and our faith, He does allow consequences and all of which He uses for our growth, no matter what it might look and feel like to us and the world at the time. His Ways are not our ways and vice versa.
I've also read that not all have His Seal, especially not in the end, even among those who claim to be His own.
Working out a timeline in my head, I think we're living in the Grand Illusion prequel part of the end of days. Check the view screen and then reread Paul's first letter to the Romans 24:32.
I also think that we, the people who used to be His people, are getting some consequences. Recheck the view screen again and then reread Ezekiel 28.
See what I mean? Yes, He intends to save us all, but...
How...unusual.
I didn’t say everyone would be saved because those who do not receive Jesus will tragically die in their sins.
But the mistake the church generally has made, but is slowly beginning to change, is believing the lie that God is mad at people. “God loves the world” (John 3:16). The sins of the whole world have ALREADY been judged on the body of Jesus Christ who has done all the heavy lifting leaving the act of being saved the easiest thing one could do because now it is by grace which is the gospel, the good news, not the bad news.
“Call upon the name of the Lord and you shall be saved.” Not all will, but it cost God who loves the world his Son to give everyone the opportunity.
Islam is a war plan.
Grace, like forgiveness, doesn’t make sense to the carnal mind because it does not necessarily add up to our natural legalistic sense.
But although grace is difficult to understand, it IS understandable because we know that all the sins of the whole world were judged and condemned on the body of Jesus Christ and God would be unjust and unrighteous to condemn the same sin twice.
The cross of Christ cuts across time and eternity and is greater and deeper than we may ever know. God himself through His Son took care of the sin problem Himself because man was hopelessly unable to resolve sin. So the sin of the whole world has ALREADY been judged. It remains for people to accept the free gift of God’s forgiveness through Jesus Christ. So now the issue isn’t sin but Jesus Christ.
God isn’t mad at anyone, he’s madly in love with the world so much so that he gave his Son for it. He cries out to people to receive His Son which is all they have to do to be forgiven and saved. THAT is the gospel of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and THAT is the message we should be telling the world.
Satan is quite good at confusion and humans can be way too easy for an old timer like him. He goes after church people with a special fury, so I'm not surprised about the confusion anymore, just surprised that there aren't even more church variations than there are. Such is our way.
As a mile marker for the road we're on, this is the Lord's time of Grace and Mercy spoken of, for example, in Acts 2:17-20, and you can find examples everywhere, all over the world, just in time to counter Satan's last ditch effort to make the world his own, personal vomitorium.
Jesus is definitely available to each and every one of us, anytime, all the time, no matter what we've done or what we think He thinks about it. In fact, He comes looking for you, too, just like it says about the shepherd leaving his flock to find the one lost sheep, which is a point of regret for me.
If there are guardian angels, and I'm told we each have one, I regret making any assigned to me work so hard until I finally came around. I truly am.
On the other hand, I was/am surprised how easy it is to love Him back, once He got my attention, that is.
(Nice save, Jesus! Thanks for the rescue.)
Denial and ignorance may be cover for intentional complicity.
Thanks for sharing. God bless.
No doubt my FRiend.
