Christianity – Simple Faith, Local Churches

by Steve Simons | posted in: Inspiration | 0

Bible, Christianity, God Word, Jesus Christ
My Response to @relearnhq … Question: Is gagging the most effective response to sin? I don’t remember a single time when Jesus gagged in the face of sin in the Bible. I’m asking because as a Christian I’m struck that the rally cry of ostracism and revulsion seems to aggregate more support than actual forgiveness, healing, and salvation. Ask yourself this, what is the log in your eye? Is it a pornography addiction? Or maybe an issue with hypocrisy (read Matthew 23, the whole chapter)? Since Jesus promised to bring everything from darkness into the light, what is everyone going to find out about you? Do you hate in private but love in public? Are you genuinely good friends with Jesus? I’m just asking because we as Christians seem more often too focused on identifying sin, than healing it. So, maybe if you honestly don’t have a cure for sin, you should sit down and shut up until you do. Being grossed out by sin is not the gospel, it’s the message of the enemy. The gospel of Jesus Christ is that while we were still sinning he died for us and paid for our sins so that no one could boast. This post sounds an awful lot like a boast to me. Either you have an answer or you don’t. Just trying to keep your hands clean isn’t holy or just or righteous or good. It’s actually the road to destruction. So, rather than praying “thank God I’m not like that sinner” try instead “have mercy on me God, for I am a sinner”. Jesus was pretty clear the writer of this post is not going home justified….just sayin’ … Have you read the BLOOM SAFE: MAKE AMERICA THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE A KID report? Did you know that the current research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys are victims of sexual violence before the age of 18 in America today? The scale of this public health epidemic is truly stunning. This statistic means that right now you personally know AT LEAST ONE survivor and AT LEAST ONE perpetrator.
