A Steady Diet of Bitterness, Sarcasm, and Hate's photo.
Somehow when a photo is sent to me that has this written as the publisher created the photo, it is offensive to me, therefore I deleted it. Not the person that sent it but the creator of the web sight for their name. A Steady Diet of Bitterness, Sarcasm, and Hate's photo.When we try to expose sin as what it is...sin! We are accused of being hate mongers, judgmental, unfair, having no love or understanding, yet Jesus said we were all sinners. If we loved Him we would follow His commandments. How can we follow if we are not constantly aware of what displeases God? Are we here to glorify God and not bring shame to Jesus name or are we here to servie our own ideals and lusts? We as humans cannot produce righteousness, it is His righteousness that of the Holy Spirit, that indwells us that produces righteousness.
According
to Ezekiel we are to warn others, does not mean we are judging them?
Romans
2;
1 Therefore
thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou
judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same
things. 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to
truth against them which commit such things. 3 And thinkest thou
this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that
thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
God
will hold us accountable, if we do not proclaim his truths, not only our
brethren, but to those that do not believe.
Aren’t we to be examples (ensamples) as they were in the Old and New
Testament?
Ezekiel
3:
20 Again,
When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit
iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou
hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness
which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at
thine hand. 21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man,
that the righteous
sin
not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou
hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel
33:
8 When I
say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost
not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in
his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 9
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not
turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Corinthians 10:
11 Now all
these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12 Wherefore
let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 13 There
hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is
faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but
will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear
it. 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
Phillipians
3:
17 Brethren,
be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an
ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now
tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly,
and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it
may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby
he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Peter 2:
6 And
turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with
an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live
ungodly;
When
we give warning in love and concern I do not believe we are being judgmental, I
believe we are following the leadership of the Holy Spirit, if and that is a
big IF, we have the correct motive in our hearts. I pray I always will. And always pray and ask God first, as well as
ask to create a clean heart in us O God, to be cleansed by His Holy
righteousness and be used of him and not our own agenda.
Paul
preached and taught in Jesus name every synagogue or city that he visited. He made the unbelievers angry and persuaded
many to believe. Is that not the same
power that abides inside each believer today?
Are we not held accountable for ourselves and what we do today? Are we not to warn others of sin that is
being misconstrued today, according to the Word of God?
Matthew
18:
7 Woe unto
the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe
to that man by whom the offence cometh!
