Thank you for the clarification. I did not see the post and I’m thankful that I did not because I would’ve misread the intentions. I am proud to be a member of Saddleback that honors diversity and inclusion.
I'm not trying to be caustic, but I'm not getting this statement: If we never chose to be born and were not provided a true choice of whether to be here, why are we "deserving" of any negative penalty at all? While our current biblical version states this and we know it as believers, no one has ever been able to explain why I was not provided a true choice of whether to be part of this creation. It is as if we were always here, but the reality is our biological parents made that unilateral decision for us, and we have not always been here. For me to be here, that means Adam and Even HAD to sin. They had no choice. Obviously the Lord of Heaven and Earth is the Lord and can make any unilateral judgement He determines, but the question remains, when did I have a true choice?
Matthew 5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? (47)And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Revelation 7:9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” As far as I can discern, the current King of America shows who he is by the people he has chosen to put in power and those that idolize him. Fascism is an affront to all that is holy. May no one sympathize with such evil. Pray instead for such enemies of love and truth. Praying for wisdom in such times and praising only God. May God Bless us all.
It is wisdom for a leader not to support one candidate in an election with message that send a signal that God sent me to say this to people. God saves sinners so that they will have time to repent not so that they will become another God. How many people know that the chance that trump planned the attack on himself for him to win emotional people is very high? Trump’s does not know God and he need repentance. Not to lead a country. His followers hate people for real. Bible told us how to treat a stranger . Him declaring male and female sexuality is self acclaimed moral, that does not make them born again. People need Jesus and not law. Because Jesus change people but law make people lie to themselves
