I thank God for giving me the opportunity to
reach people with the truth using the internet.
It is my privilege to help Others.
It is a warm feeling to know that while I'm sleeping at night, thousands
of people are awake on the other side of the planet finding the truth on my
website. Though my souls have been
reaped (brought to the Lord Jesus Christ) through this website, most of what I do
is to sow seeds in people's hearts. A
lot of people leave this website angry, but it gets them thinking. Sometimes you have to shock someone with the
truth to get them to take the blinders off.
It works! Thank you, Lord Jesus,
for using this undeserving sinner to reach people with the truth.
I would like to present to you some Biblical
FACTS about the Lord Jesus Christ, facts that you've probably never heard
before (or have heard, but never wanted to accept). The FACT is that Jesus was NOT always the loving
pacifist that so many heathens and immature believers would like to make Him
out to be.
Jesus Did Get Angry
The FACT is that Jesus did get angry
sometimes...real angry...so angry that He actually fabricated a whip of cords,
went into the temple, and started beating people. Jesus started flipping their tables over,
hurling everything onto the temple floor.
People were fleeing the temple for fear.
They probably said,"This guy has gone crazy...we're out of
here!" Jesus let their doves go
free (costing them a financial loss). He
threw their money all over the floor...
"And when he had made a scourge of small
cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and
poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables" -John 2:15
Can you imagine? Is this our Precious Saviour acting like a
mad man? Yes, it most certain is. Jesus was very angry to put it mildly. What do you think would happen to someone who
did today exactly what Jesus did back then in the temple that day? The person would immediately be arrested and
charged with created a public disturbance, assault with a deadly weapon,
trespassing, vandalism of public (private) property, etc. The judge would force the person into
mandatory psychiatric counseling. If an
undercover police officer were present at the time of the violent incident, the
person would probably have been killed on the spot. So don't tell me about how loving Jesus was
all the time. Yes, Jesus was more loving
than any person who ever lived, but He also hated sin like no other...
"Thou hast loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." -Hebrews 1:9
Jesus was a perfectly balanced individual; He
loved righteousness and equally hated sin.
Ninety-five percent of all Christians love righteousness far more than
they hate sin. In fact, MOST professed
Christians don't hate sin at all; rather, they live in it. Jesus did not go to gay parades and pass out
pizza. Jesus never would endorse Harry
Potter like Christianity Today magazine does.
Jesus hated sin and preached against it.
Jesus Wasn't Hesitant to Offend
People with the Truth!
Jesus
reminds a woman about her adulterous affairs
In John chapter four we read about the
Samaritan woman whom Jesus met at the well.
In John 4:18, Jesus tells her that she is an adulterer (Matthew
5:32). Wow! Can you imagine meeting someone for the first
time and they bring up your adulterous relationships?
Jesus hurts someone's feelings
Did you ever read that passage of Scripture
where Jesus made someone sorrowful...
"Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be
perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he
had great possessions." -Matthew 19:21-22
The
truth needed to be spoken! Jesus didn't
kowtow and beat-around-the-bush. No,
Jesus said what needed to be said.
Jesus calls a group of religious people "evil"
snakes
It was
not uncommon for Jesus to speak harsh words to those whom He felt needed to
hear them...
"O generation of vipers, how can ye,
being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh." -Matthew 12:34
Wow!
Jesus called those religious people "evil." Doesn't sound like a very nice thing to do,
huh? The diversity committee wouldn't
have liked Jesus' outbursts of contempt and hate speech very much, would
they? Jesus would have been very
unpopular in today's apostate world.
Jesus even called them "vipers" (deadly snakes).
Jesus calls one of His own Disciple
"Satan"
Jesus
didn't discriminate, He evidently seemed to hate everyone, even His own
disciples. Listen to what Jesus said to
the Apostle Peter when Peter showed concern for Christ's well-being...
"But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get
thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the
things that be of God, but those that be of men." -Matthew 16:23
Wow,
Peter was only trying to be a friend.
Peter couldn't have been anymore sincere. Gee Whiz, you'd think Jesus would have been a
little more understanding with those closest to Him. Rather, Jesus called Peter
"Satan." Wow! Talk about hate
speech.
Jesus accuses one of His disciples of being
"a devil"
Jesus,
while at the dinner table with His disciples, called one of them a
"devil"...
"Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen
you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" -John 6:70
Jesus didn't seem to regard His own family either...
"Then one said unto him, Behold, thy
mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told
him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?" -Matthew 12:47-48
Wow!
Jesus sure had a different side to Him that most people don't see (and don't
want to see).
Jesus taught that many people will one day
burn in Hell
Everyone
likes to think about the "God loves you" Jesus, but no one wants to
think about the "You're going to burn in hell" Jesus. Well, here He is...
"Then shall he say also unto them on the
left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the
devil and his angels" -Matthew 25:41
Huh? Can it be?
Is the Loving Saviour actually saying that people will one day burn in
the torments of an everlasting fire?
Yes, that is exactly true.
Jesus said, do it my way, or burn in Hell when
you die!
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -John 14:6
Wow! Doesn't sound very diversified does
it...do it My way or burn in hell! In
fact, Jesus was extremely adamant that there is ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN...
Simply put, it's Jesus or hell. Many people are on the wrong path. That means that the Roman Catholic Church is
a false religion because they teach that the church, good works, the
sacraments, the Rosary, and the blessed virgin Mary are all necessary to enter
into heaven. Catholicism is a bunch of
lies. Jesus proclaimed that FEW people
will ever make it into heaven...
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide
is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Hell
will be filled with religious people who mocked and scorned the precious name
of Jesus Christ, while idolizing the mythical Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary didn't remain a virgin folks, she
married and had children (Jesus had brothers).
The Catholic Mary is a great illusion, a Satanic deception. You see friend, truth is INTOLERANT...it
cannot be compromised. 1 + 1 = 2,
nothing can change that. If some liar
wants to teach people that 1 +1 = 3, it still doesn't change the truth. If some people are gullible enough to believe
the lie, that is their misfortune; but the truth hasn't changed one bit...one
plus one will always equal two.
The Truth of the Matter
After all the things I just showed you about
Jesus from the Bible, you might be wondering about Jesus' character. Well, let me settle your mind, Jesus was
justified in everything He ever said or did while upon the earth. According to God's Word, Jesus never sinned
one time (2nd Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 4:15).
There was a spiritual truth, a heavenly reason, a greater purpose,
behind every seemingly unkind thing Jesus ever did or said. Likewise, my website does offend many people,
even appearing as "hateful" or "selfish" from a quick
glance. The truth is that there is so
much love invested into this website that no one apart from God Himself can
possibly know my heart. I love Others,
but I equally love God. I love the truth
of God's Word.
The
problem with so many people is that they love people and things, but not
God. We are living in a wicked world
that speaks and sings of love, while simultaneously sacrificing God and His
Word on the altar of sinful compromise.
The wicked world wants to achieve unity between the righteous and the
wicked, but there can be NO unity.
Why? Because God's holiness
cannot be compromised...God never changes (Malachi 3:6). The same God that hated homosexuality back in
the Old Testament hates the same abominable sin today. Christ-honouring Christians will never stop
preaching against the vile sin of homosexuality (or any other sin for that
matter). Why? Simply because God never changes.
Jesus expressed His love at times in
unconventional manners that mad people angry or frustrated at Him. John the Baptist was the greatest man born
amongst women the Bible declares (Mathew 11:11). No doubt, Jesus loved John dearly. Yet, John didn't understand why he was
rotting in a prison while God incarnate was walking the earth. I mean, John had done his very best to
prepare the people for the Lord's coming, now he's on death row locked up
behind bars. John became discouraged and
even questioned Christ's legitimacy...
"And John calling unto him two of his
disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we
for another?" -Luke 7:19
Wow! did
Jesus even abandon His friends in time of need?
We don't understand the spiritual significance of what was done, but God
knows the reasons. We must maintain a
complete Biblical perspective of the Saviour.
It is a dangerous thing to hold to a lopsided view of the Saviour. Jesus loves people, so much that He died upon
the cross for all of us (John 3:16).
Yet, Jesus shelled the corn (preached hard) and spoke the truth when it
needed to be spoken.
Jesus was no wimp, no spineless coward, no
compromiser...Jesus was is the Son of God, God incarnate. Jesus cared for others and loved His family
and friends. However, love cannot
supersede truth. True love occurs within
the framework of truth. If love is not
based upon truth, then it is not God's love.
I love you enough to tell you the truth, even though I may risk becoming
unpopular or being disliked for it.
So, to those of you who think that Jesus never
spoke a harsh word or never criticized someone else's religion...you are very
wrong! Jesus was quite outspoken and
didn't worry about offending people.
Jesus was much rather willing to be divided over truth, than to be
united by error. If you think that my
website is lacking the Savior's love, then I suggest that you read the New
Testament thoroughly. In so doing, you
will discover that the loving Saviour at times flipped over tables, threw
people's things on the floor, assaulted them with a whip, and then drove them
out of the building.
If you don't like me, you'll hate Jesus. Jesus told some people that they would one
day be weeping and gnashing their teeth after being cast into outer darkness
(Matthew 8:12). You wouldn't have liked
Billy Sunday either. Jesus was no
respecter of persons and spoke the plain truth with apology. That's what you call "tough love." Let us follow in the Savior's footsteps by
doing the same. God deliver us from this
weak-kneed generation of television believers.
