The churches in the world today almost UNIVERSALLY believe that God loves ALL MEN equally - showing no favoritism - AFTER ALL, they say, God is not a respecter of persons! What does your BIBLE say - the very words GOD HIMSELF inspired to be written for you?You’ll find that it says that God does NOT love all men Equally! He, Himself said so!

Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul HATETH

Yes, the Lord HATES the wicked! He does NOT LOVE HIM the same as a RIGHTEOUS man! Read the rest of this entry »

We all know that there was a Jesus who was compassionate, and loving, and merciful; the Bible is full of hundreds of scriptures that speak of his patience and kindness. But was He also a rude racist?

“Certainly not!”, most people exclaim. But how can we square that answer with this scripture:

Matthew 15:21-22 (NKJV) Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”

Now if Jesus IS a merciful, loving, compassionate man, surely His heart would have ached for this woman’s suffering! And yet He callously replied… by ignoring her!

Verses 23-24 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

And despite His disciples’ urging, He flatly refused to help her! Just because she wasn’t of some “special race”, she wasn’t worth his time! What a bigot!

Verses 25-26 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”

Even after she begged him, pleading in every way she knew, He flatly refused to lift a finger to help her – and to top it off, He ridiculed and insulted her by calling her a dog!

Verses 27-28 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

And finally, to stop her nagging, he at last condescended to help her. Is this truly a Jesus of “full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.” (Psalms 86:15)?

Arguments such as this are FAIR! This is what the Bible says, and it deserves an honest, SIMPLE answer! So I ask again… WAS Jesus a rude RACIST? Read the rest of this entry »

Friend, have you been saved?

Do you LOVE JESUS?

You do? That’s wonderful!

Do you KNOW THE LORD?? Yes? That’s terrific!

Do you keep His Ten Commandments? What? You DON’T?? Oh dear. Oh my. Dear, dear, dear… Forgive me, I’m just a little bit befuddled by what you just said. You see, now I’m in a bit of a spot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure you mean what you just said, but I’m not sure what to think right now. You see, on the one hand, you say you know the Lord. And I think you believe what you say. But on the other hand… well, let me show you what I mean and maybe you can help me understand what’s wrong.

You believe that the Bible’s the word of God don’t you? Of course you do. And of course, God can’t lie, so if it’s in the Bible, you can take it to the bank, you can COUNT on every word in that Bible being absolutely 100% true, can’t you? Of course you can, everyone knows that. But here is my problem… let me just show you the scripture that’s troubling me here…

1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Now I didn’t say that. God did…. Read the rest of this entry »
