Many Christian leaders are compromising God’s word for a new politically correct world and humanistic doctrine. God does not accept compromise. Many say we have to vote. And choose the lesser of 2 evils. Again wicked is wicked with God. He does use rulers to issue punishment as in Babylon, He uses rulers such as Cyrus to destroy God’s enemies, but he does not compromise. He doesn’t ever in His word tell us to choose the lesser of 2 evils.
God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. He listened to Abraham beg for the sake of righteous people living there. They started with 50 and God finally agreed on 10. So lot and his family were the only ones to escape. But this whole conversation between God and Abraham show that God does not want the righteous destroyed with the wicked. He saved Noah snd his family. Jesus warned that Jerusalem would be destroyed.
Again God does not want the righteous destroyed with the wicked. The wicked of any nation will be judged. Look at Babylon, look even at Israel when they defied God. Look at Adam and Eve.
God does not compromise. He doesn’t say “thou shall have no other gods before me, but if you insist you can bow to baal or a golden calf.
God did not say thou shall not kill, but if you want to sacrifice life to abortions that is ok God did not say if you keep my statutes some of the time it’s ok.
God did not say thou shall not kill, but if you want to sacrifice life to abortions that is ok God did not say if you keep my statutes some of the time it’s ok.
Read Numbers 18 to see how God dealt with the wicked among the Israelites going against Moses and God’s word. He opened the ground and swallowed them then sent a plague. It was only through the faith of Aaron and Moses that God saved a remnant. There is no compromise with God Almighty. You either follow his word or not.
We don’t bow the knee to anyone but God. We don’t proclaim, but this man will kill less people than that one. Or this man is wicked but this one is more wicked. God says “Don’t touch the unclean thing” pure and simple.
2 Corinthians 6:17
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
It doesn’t say touch this thing because it’s not as unclean as that. Do not touch the UNCLEAN THING.
Did Peter and Paul stop preaching the Gospel of Christ because it offended the Romans? Did Stephen change his mission to avoid stoning to death? There is no compromise with God.
Think long and hard about picking the lesser of 2 evils. There is a reason God says “come out of her my people or you will go down with her.”
There’s a reason Paul said pray for leaders so that we my have an easy life. Paul spent more time in jail than he did out. So did Paul conform and submit to pagan Rome, because it was the politically correct thing to do at the time? No he spoke out against the sins committed and was imprisoned,beaten and beheaded. Peter was crucified.
John the Baptist was beheaded because he spoke out against Herod. He didn’t compromise and say ok you can sin it’s ok.
My God what are we doing?? Accepting abortion, homosexuality, oppression of men and women in other countries because we want power and money to align with them. Accepting the worship and idols of other Gods. Turning our back to God so we don’t offend anyone.
God is a jealous, uncompromising God. Be very careful compromising your values and the word of God thinking you are choosing the lesser of 2 evils. There is no lesser of 2 evils with God. Evil is evil period. And we were warned about calling evil good and good evil. We are told to separate from the world. We are told to endure. Not compromise. Be careful following anyone who tells you different. It’s called the great deception. Thinking themselves wise they became fools.
Revelations 3
I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. 19Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
We must use our voice to speak out while we still have freedom. We must demand accountibility from our leaders, and demand our leaders respect the rights of others. But we should never compromise our values or accept evil of any form or we will be judged by God Almighty to be unworthy.
We are in this position today because whole churchs have cowered in the corner afraid to offend the government and remained silent in the face of adversity. The government told them to shut up and sit down or you will pay and that’s just what they did. Even changing doctrine to fit and accommodate sin. We have only ourselves to blame. God have mercy on your people.
