God
Notice: religious post. Play nice or scroll on by, please. I’m genuinely interested in what people have to say, but keep trolling out of it. Just don’t participate if you don’t have anything valid to add.
I’m not a practicing Christian, that’s no secret. But I was raised in church and I have a reasonable understanding of the bible. I think that if there’s a verse more quoted than any, it’s John 3:16. It’s what we first memorized in Sunday School, and probably the simplest explanation of what it requires to get into Heaven. In essence, if you genuinely believe that Christ came to Earth as a man and died on the cross as a symbol of God’s forgiveness of man’s sin, you get a pass. You’re not required to live a perfect life. You’re not required to follow a specific list of rules in order to get through the “pearly gates.” You believe. It’s that simple, right?
So, we all sin. And sin is sin is sin. Sinners get into Heaven because they place their trust in God.
Here’s what I’ve thought about today- I’m curious about others’ thoughts. I have no doubt that the people of Westboro Baptist Church believe that their version of God is THE Christian God. However, they practice and peach the teachings of an angry, unforgiving version of this God rather than the forgiving Jesus man. Do they fall into a category of false prophets even if they genuinely believe that they are worshipping the Christian God? I can’t bring myself to do a great deal of reading their site because it hurts my heart, so I’m not sure they use any Jesus references on a regular basis or if they rely solely on the Old Testament wrath. I’m not even trying to judge what they do right now. I’m just curious what others might think about it.
Belief in any god is a very personal thing. You may not understand the bible to mean the same thing as the Christian standing next to you, but you likely agree that you believe in the same God, and that belief is enough to get you into Heaven. How do you know that your interpretation is leading you to believe in the correct version of God? And if all variations if the Christian God can be accepted as true based on personal meaning, wouldn’t the Westboro God still be the same deity?
One two one two, Yoh!
Special dedication to my brothers and sisters on the great continent of Africa
To Saints in Malawi, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe.
Don’t be deceived by what America is sending y’all man, yeh?
Let me begin, while there is still ink left in my pen,
I am set to contend for Truth you can bet will offend,
Deception within the church man, who’s letting them in?
We talked about this years ago, let’s address it again. (Yeh)
And I ain’t really trying to start beef, but some who claim to be part of his sheep got some sharp teeth.(they’re wolves)
You cast at me when you criticize them when you criticize them, but Jesus told us: Matthew 7:16, we can recognize them!
And God forbid that for the love of some fans, I keep quiet and watch them die with their blood on my hands!
(so…)There’s nothing left for me to do except to speak to you in the spirit of Jude 3 and 2 Peter 2
And I know that some would label me a Pharisee, because today the only heresy is saying that there’s heresy:
“How dare they be specific and drop some clarity on the popularity of the gospel of Prosperity”
Turn off TBN that channel is overrated. The Pastor’s speak bogus statements, financially motivated. It’s kind of like a pyramid scheme. Visualize Heretics christianizing the American dream.
It’s foul and deceitful, they’re lying to people, teaching that camels squeeze through the eye of a needle!
Ungodly and wicked, ask yourself how can they not be convicted treating Jesus like a lottery ticket.
And you’re thinking they’re not the dangerous type because some of their statements are right,
That only proves that Satan comes as an angel of light!
This teaching can’t be believed without a cost, the lie is you can achieve a crown without a cross
And I hear it all the time when they speak on the block
Even unbelievers are shocked how they’re fleecing the flock
It should be obvious then, yet I’ll explain why it’s in, peep the Bible it’s in 1 Timothy 6:9-10
It talks about how the desire for riches has left many souls on fire and stitches mired in ditches
Tell me, who would teach you to pursue as a goal the very thing that the Bible said will ruin your soul! (eh?)
Yet they’re encouraging the love of money,
to make it worse, they’ve exported this garbage into other countries!
My heart breaks even now as I am rhyming. Do you wanna know what all false teachers have in common?(what?)
It’s called self(ism) the fastest growing religion; they just dress it up and call it “Christian”.
Don’t be deceived by this funny biz, if you come to Jesus for money, then he’s not your God, money is!
Jesus is not a means to an end, the Gospel is He came to redeem us from sin, and that is the message forever I yell!
If you’re living your best life now you’re heading for hell!

“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.” 2 Peter 2:1-3
