I know I’ve posted that I am a minister, but this is not a sermon. I have discovered, as a minister, I get to hear everyone else’s beliefs. And I get to hear how much they compare their beliefs to mine, and yet there is little comparison. There has really been some bothersome terminology in the news, recently about the Bible literalists. Now, these are the D. James Kennedy and Jerry Falwell, followers, and they are not Bible literalists. If someone believes the Bible, literally, they realize their Commission is not to be morality monitor, but to share the Good News with others. G~d never called His people to force the rules on people that were not interested in following G~d. And the promises of G~d, such as healing are not considered to be in effect any longer, by these men that are determined to be everyone’s conscience. I mean, they pray, but they go to doctors. True believers that take the Scriptures literally don’t eat pork, turn the other cheek, trust G~d for healing, and don’t beg for money. And when they don’t follow G~d’s divine statutes, it is called sin, rationalization is not allowed! Repentance is a must! Forgiveness is available in Y’shuah, that ‘s the Good News, but the definition of sin is still determined by G~d’s Word, not by the moral majority. If these men really wanted to stop abortion, for instance, first they would quit making it a political issue, all together. You see, literally the Bible says we are to share the love of G~d with those around us. Do you really think someone that knows and feels the love of G~d could kill? I know the war-mongers may be convincing, but Y’shuah set the example and He healed the ear of his captor. Now, back to G~d’s love stopping abortion. You know, it might be worth a try, because the moral majority can’t do it and the religious politicians are powerless, but the G~d of the true Bible believers is not powerless. And there’s more! The Good News is the answer to all the woes of man. Granted, everyone isn’t interested, but many have never heard. And what is sad, the attitude of the moral majority and those that call themselves literalists, are making things very difficult for those of us that are just trying to walk with G~d and share the Truth of His love and mercy. I am absolutely sure the Bible is to be believed literally, and fully. But the religious lobbyists and the politicians that think they are appointed by G~d have a completely different agenda and belief system than those of us that believe the Bible, literally.
