Ashamed of the Gospel and Calling It Faith

Ashamed of the Gospel and Calling It Faith

A reflection on faith, political loyalty, judgment, humility, 

and the question every Christian must answer:

What will you tell Jesus when you meet Him?

How The Quarrel Started

"How dare you send me a post telling me not to be ashamed of the Gospel? 

You don't see your kowtowing to the evil that manifests as MAGA, pretending that it makes sense and is based on sound theology, as being ashamed of God?

What do you think I'm doing by standing up against MAGA?

Do you not think I'm standing up for Christ?

While you support those who hate Him?

You don't see that as timidity?

Do you read these things you post with any understanding?

'God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and love and self-control. Do not be ashamed, then, of testifying to our Lord.'

How Lovely to quote the things we neither understand nor abide by!

Oh you do understand it!!

What's your testimony?

If you meet Jesus on the road today,

How will you explain your support for MAGA?

'Oh Lord, those liberals this, those liberals that...?'

You think that will cut it?

Meanwhile, 'those liberals' you condemn are found in churches day and night. Even some from the LGBTQ community.

Praying, 'Lord, save me from this affliction. For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.'

Be afraid of judgment, my friend.

Because when Jesus says, 'Workers of iniquity,' He means those whose works lack virtue.

What virtue is there in condemning others?

Did God ask you to do that?

Did Jesus praise those who were about to stone the adulterous woman?

If you want to be condemned by Jesus, do it under your own impetus, not under the influence of a conman who has no conscience...

....Who has not, and perhaps cannot, make peace with the Lord on account of his arrogance and his arthritis.

Yes, spiritual arthritis, and perhaps physical as well.

The kind that prevents a man from bending his knee."

Timotheus to Don Kenobi: I was there! This is a faith representation of what I witnessed.

I rest my case
