AgapeFocus APPLYING GOD'S SOLUTIONS TO HUMAN PROBLEMS

Tolerance does not condone immorality or evil. How about the Christian B&B Ruling: Is it fair after all? The law and legal judgements are respected because legal experts and judges are expected by God to give a good and fair representation of the mind and the law of God! Therefore judges themselves shall give account of themselves before the judgement throne of God at the end! In the light of these, nobody is excusable before God, Who is the final authority.
A gay couple is declared right over the owners of a Christian Bed and Breakfast (B&B) facility! The owners do not allow unmarried couple to sleep on double beds in their B&B facility. By Biblical standard, no gay couple is truly married, but by societal laws which oppose God, they may be called married or in the so-ca!led Civil Partnership! Is it wrong or illegal to have a B&B or hotel, run along Christian principles? Is it wrong to have a school run along religious principles? Is it wrong to have a Bank run along religious principles? Why do we have FAIR TRADE? Why do we have Islamic Banks? Why must a society force people to discard their religious views in running their business of 28years standing? Because of these immorality, and many other disobedient sinful unnatural laws and activities, the wrath of God and the wrath of nature are moving across many nations of the world today and people are asking WHY, out of ignorance?
Who is right? Is it the society or God? What is justice? Is it merely to favour a section of society against another? Everyone has a right to be treated fairly. You do not rob a person of his right in order to please another person. Tolerance is the ability to be fair and understanding to people whose ways and opinions are different from one’s own. Does that empower anyone to deliberately go to a place where the views are different from his with the purpose to impose his clearly diverge views? NO. What is religious tolerance? Is it to throw away your beliefs to favour another belief? Must a person be forced to condone views which he or she clearly knows to be evil, on the basis of his beliefs? NO. Where and what are the bases of religious freedom? What is the role of the Church in all of these? Is the Church a mere spectator in the face of these absurdities and immoralities which clearly violate the rights of others, notably Christians in this instance and go further to challenge the authentic voice of God? Each one of us shall give account to God. To Mr. Peter and Mrs. Hazelmary Bull , I say; Cheer up! If you suffer for righteousness sake, be happy and do not be afraid of any terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you to give reason for the hope that is in you. Only do so with meekness and fear of God. Be courageous and bold and never feel ashamed at all. At the worst you may close up the B&B, but God shall reward you. You are no losers, but winners because God is on your side[1 Peter 1:12-17].
Let the Church leaders speak out now in truth and not in hypocrisy; or keep quiet forever in failure and damnation! Enough is enough! The Church must not follow the multitude to do evil! The statutes of England and the United Kingdom still indicate Biblical Christianity! Would any leader in the Church allow the way of truth to be spoken of as if evil? When did the Church become a group of cowards? Where are the Bishops, Archbishops, Presidents, Moderators, General Secretaries, Chairmen, G.Os, Superintendents, Pastors etc? Are they hiding out of fear, timidity or nonchalance? [Read Exodus 23:1-2;Romans 1:18-32; 2 Timothy 3:1-17; 2 Peter 2:1-22; Leviticus 20:10-24]. The grace of God which now gives much room for repentance, overlooking the sins and wickedness of us human beings does not condone any act of wickedness or immorality, but it gives us second chance. The patience of God should compel all of us human beings to urgent and committed repentance. Whilst offenders may not be stoned to death or hanged today, the evils committed do not change from being less evil than in the former times. Let God be true and every person else a lair. Homosexuality has not stopped from being less evil than it was in the days of Lot, in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which were destroyed because of their wickedness and sexual immoralities topped by homosexuality! Homosexuality is no less evil in the Twenty-First Century United Kingdom, United States of America, France, Germany, China, Japan, Nigeria, Ghana, Saudi Arabia, Greece, Egypt, Iraq, Australia, South Africa or Israel, or anywhere else! The selfish, partial and imperfect laws of mankind must not be allowed to underrate the Commandments of God! Cheap political gains, acclaim in the eyes of the public, flexing of muscles in financial and material wealth, good oratorical prowess, use of physical forces, use of legal powers, misuse of scientific and medical skills are no sufficient reasons or excuses to impose man-made rules against the commandments of Almighty God! Underrating the commandments of God would bring untold sorrows and hardships, both in the present and in the near future! The only escape route is GENUINE REPENTANCE!
God’s final testimony of His laws, rule, judgment, love and salvation has been revealed through Jesus Christ. Unto Jesus Christ God has committed all things. By this man, Jesus Christ, God made this world and the whole universe! He is coming back soon as King of kings and Lord of lords, to reign and rule in righteousness. It is therefore important that everyone pays close attention! Mankind disobeyed God and as a result, sickness, hardships and death came into our affairs in life. Abortive efforts were made by mankind to solve his problems. God sent prophets,through many generations in order to bring us back to himself. Mankind was still incorrigible and deviant. Finally God sent his Son Jesus into this world. He was born in such a miraculous way that he never inherited the sin nature of man. God by the power of his Spirit came upon a pure and chaste virgin called Mary,who bore the pregnancy of Jesus. Jesus was born into a humble family led by Joseph, the carpenter. He was engaged to be married to Mary, but before the nuptial knot was tied, Mary became pregnant miraculously. Through angelic visitation, Joseph was instructed and encouraged to take care of his pregnant intended wife before they were married and not to dump her secretly, as he was planning to do! Thus Jesus was born in Bethlehem under strange miraculous circumstances. He grew up in the town of Nazareth, under the parental care of Joseph and Mary.
Jesus Christ grew up, working as a carpenter and later started his ministry which brought healing, comfort, deliverance and hope to many. His teachings of truth brought him into conflict with the political and religious leaders of his days. He was arrested, wrongly accused and crucified. All those were in line with the divine plan of God to rescue mankind from eternal death and ruin. Jesus Christ by divine plan, voluntarily laid down his life through the shedding of his blood on the cross, to clean us all from sin. He rose up from the dead on the third day and is alive forever. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it through Jesus Christ. If you submit to Jesus, you have life, but if you reject him, you have death. The basis for judgement and death is this: Jesus is the light of the world. God made this world, man and the universe through him. People who were evil inclined hate the light. Anyone who loves the truth comes into the light, having nothing to hide, because his deeds are in harmony with God and done through his power. Anyone who believes in Jesus, the Son of God, is not condemned, but has everlasting life. He who does not believe in Jesus shall not see life, but the wrath of God is upon him, because such a person is condemned already[ John 3:16-17,18-21,35-36 ]. The power of sin and incorrigibility have been broken by Jesus Christ, through his blood shed on the cross, outside the city walls of Jerusalem, over two thousand years ago! Whosoever shall call upon the name of Jesus Christ shall be saved. The power to save mankind has been given to Jesus Christ. Come to God through Jesus now. You are not condemned unless you condemn yourself through deliberate rejection of the provision made for us all by God. That provision is JESUS CHRIST! Come to Jesus without delay. God bless you.
