To The Homosexual August 19, 2006

God made you artistic
But He didn’t make you gay
He made you creative
To interpret what you see
He made you a man
And to be His Voice
He gave you His Eye
So you could see what He See’s
He made you a Seer
To prophesy through your art

But. . .
He did not make you gay.

Go back to that place
Where it first began
Go back to that place
So you can be set free
Go back to that place
And renounce and repent
Go back to that place
So you can be set free
Go back to each place
Where sin entered in
Go back to each place
And renounce and repent
Go back to each place
So you can be cleansed
Go back to each place
And receive forgiveness–

Let your glory fall, Lord
Let your gift be redeemed
Let your presence overwhelm them
As You circumcise their heart
Let your presence overtake them
As they dedicate their body to You– Now.
Come boldly before the throne of Grace
And enter in.

Lev. 18:22 ”Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.

2 Timothy 1:9 For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.Romans 10:9-10 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.Titus 3:15  He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.*

Rebuttal to: NO HELL doctrine (Carlton Pearson’s Gospel of Inclusion) August 14, 2006

Aug 14, 2006

this “poem” is in no way meant to embarrass Carlton Pearson, and only has his name on it so, you, the web surfer can find my poem and some clarity on the new doctrine of inclusion, and no hell.  I’ve always loved Carlton and his ministry, and am saddened by this turn of events and what he is teaching, that may lead people away from the true and living God, Jesus Christ.

 

Rebuttal to : NO HELL Doctrine 

A new doctrine:

“No Hell”

Released from the demons of darkness

Sent over the airwaves by NBC

To the people around the world

NBC. 

You have incurred the wrath of God

 

Do you not know the scriptures?

Jesus came to save the world

But when one of His children never hears about Jesus

They are judged by their conscience—

Not just tossed into hell.

 

Carlton

You are standing at the precipice

With your wife and your children

Repent.

Turn back.

Before your children end up in the place you no longer believe in,

And all for the love of a father

Whom they think knows the voice of God.

 

Wives

You can stand by your husbands

But you don’t follow them into hell.

 

Don’t you know that every “new” revelation,

Every “word” of prophecy

Is to be judged by the “Word of God”?

And this “new” revelation–

No Hell

Is Found Wanting!

And is judged to be

FALSE

by the Word of the Living God!

Beware.

 

 

Romans 2:13-16 (NLT) says:  “For it is not merely knowing the law that brings God’s approval.  Those who obey the law will be declared right in God’s sight.  Even when Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, instinctively follow what the law says, they show that in their hearts they know right from wrong.  They demonstrate that God’s law is written within them, for their own consciences either accuse them or tell them they are doing what is right.  The day will surely come when God, by Jesus Christ, will judge everyone’s secret life.  This is my message.”

Romans 2:14-16 (Message Paraphrase) “  When outsiders who have never heard of God’s law follow it more or less by instinct, they confirm its truth by their obedience.  They show that God’s law is not something alien, imposed on us from without, but woven into the very fabric of our creation.  There is something deep within them that echoes God’s yes and no, right and wrong.  Their response to God’s yes and no will become public knowledge on the day God makes his final decision about every man and woman.  The Message from God that I proclaim through Jesus Christ takes into account all these differences.”

selah.
