Our society loves to talk about tolerance. They say: There is no one right idealogy. Everyone is correct, as long as they are living "their truth". No one has the right to say that anything is right or wrong about anything. Generally speaking, these mantra's are directed at Christians. We are expected to be tolerant.
I remember a time several years back where I listened in horror to a Muslim refugee from Algeria tell her horrendous tale of living under radical Islam. (No I am not saying that all of Islam is violent and murderous,just to be clear!!) I was so appalled at her experience and I shared it with a friend, who was a self-professed feminist. I very clearly explained the facts about what happened to this woman, the facts of the religious beliefs and how awful the situation was. I was amazed that my frield, so sold out to the feminist point of view, in the same breath preached at me how I needed to be tolerant. If that is tolerance, I want no part in it.
So now, I ask a simple question. Where is our tolerance? Who is saying, we need to tolerate the Christian point of view? No one.
Here's the truth....there is no tolerance in the eyes of Christ. Jesus says:
11:23 He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
Either we accept Christ or we don't. Its that simple. There is no in between with the Lord.
So I say to our godless society, tolerate this:
Either Jesus is who is said He was or He is a lunatic.
If He is a lunatic, we are all still dead in our sins
I choose to believe that Jesus demonstrated that He is God by his virgin birth, living a sinless life, coming as a man, both totally God and totally man, was convicted on bogus charges, was crucified on a bloody cross so I that I could have eternal life. He died, was buried in a closed tomb and rose again three days later to join His father in heaven. He promises that He will come again for His church and rapture her to spend eternity with Him.
He is who He said He is
He will do what He said
He is God
I am not
He makes the rules
This is His world, not my own
The least I can do is obey his commandments, love Him, love my neighbor, and tell the world about Jesus.
Its that simple
Either you believe it, or you don't
I would rather spend my entire life believing that there is a God and find out that I was wrong, rather that to spend my entire life believing that there is no God and find out that there is. |
