Tolerant-NO! Truthful-YES!

Tolerant-No! Truthful-Yes!

Loving- Always!

Don't Ask Me To Be Tolerant!

I Stand With God's Truth!

I Don't Tolerate Sin- Or Accept It!

I Love The Sinner!

I Point Them To Jesus, Who Loves Them –

Wants Them To Be Eternally His!

 

A Common Mistake Christians Make Is To Think They Can Trump

God's Truth With Tolerance And Win Eternity.

 

When in all TRUTH, the deception of tolerance is that God's word is not accepted but exchanged for a lie. The real truth is God's precepts, purposes, principles were designed to go hand in hand with His Infinite Love. Truth without Love is what the world has named "bigotry". Love Without Truth is "Tolerance"! Both are being lukewarm in our faith and we know what God says about being Lukewarm (Rev 3:15-17)

Christianity Is Hearts Undivided In God's Love And Truth And This Is The Freedom That Leads Sinners To Eternity.

Isn't that the path we all want to point to… Jesus, His Way, His Truth, His Eternal Life. So Every Day In Every Situation God Puts You In Walk In Love – Speak The Fullness Of Truth To Everyone – Everywhere- Everyday! God's Love – God's Truth! God's Truth Does Not Tolerate Sin! It Loves The Sinner- Hates The Sin! God's Truth Changes Us From Death To Life – From Sin To Righteousness.

Asking for tolerance is not about me, it is your self-indulgent nature wanting to live serenely in your comfort zone of sin.

For those of you who say Jesus would vote for Chastity-Chaz on the show Dancing With The Stars, I say: Jesus did vote for Chastity, He died for Chastity so Chaz could have the freedom to choose His Love, His Life, His Way. The Truth is all about Jesus, His Sovereign Will, His Way and it is our choice whether we want to "grow with it" and go the eternal way on the narrow road that Jesus opened up the way for us. Jesus is our Way-maker to truth and eternal life. Chastity is just like all of us, if she does not choose the Way of Christ, she will die eternally. Jesus wants Chastity to have life.

Our problems may stay-circumstances may remain, but we know God is in control. We focus on His adequacy-not our inadequacy. Charles Stanley

I did not write the bible~ God did~ It is black and white. He spoke it~ He meant it! We each will face our God, and He will hold us to it. GOD is fully adequate to finish what He starts in our lives by His Word, His Way, His Will. Yet we sometimes choose our way, we choose to live in our inadequacies.

 

Truth! God wrote and spoke His Word-Will-Way into being! You can't change the Word of God to make yourself feel all nice and comfy with your life! Talk To God about tolerance!

I love Jesus. Without Him, I am just gone! There is no future for me. So if I LOVE someone! I tell them the TRUTH about Jesus and His Way! No One Is Stuck In A Life-Style Of Their Own Making! Jesus Is The Solution. He made a way of truth for us to live unto eternity. Choose Jesus, grow His way and life has no end!

You can't run the rationalize race and win. You can't run from God or His Truth. The price is too steep when you run from God!

You can look really put together in your way of life, but on the inside you privately resist intimate fellowship- a Holy Alliance with God. God does not fellowship with sin and that is His Truth, His Way!

Psalm 119:41

Let your love, God, shape my life with salvation, exactly as you promised; Then I'll be able to stand up to mockery because I trusted your Word. Don't ever deprive me of truth, not ever— your commandments are what I depend on. Oh, I'll guard with my life what you've revealed to me, guard it now, guard it ever; And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom; Then I'll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed. I cherish your commandments—oh, how I love them!— relishing every fragment of your counsel.

Message Bible

People tell me I need to "tolerate" the homosexual life style, and that they don't need to be set free by God's Truth. I do not agree with that. Not at all. They said there is another whole side to truth and God has shown them that through someone who wrote a book on it. There is not another side to truth and God does not speak to some people in some ways and others in other ways. God's Truth Is The Truth! Final! Peroid! Just As It Is Written!

Today I feel the same way as Jude did, when people spread false things and say we need to give "grace" to sinners to live their life-style of sin. I do understand how you feel Jude and it is a grave responsibility to Talk Up Truth!

Jude 1:3

Beloved, my whole concern was to write to you in regard to our common salvation. [But] I found it necessary and was impelled to write you and urgently appeal to and exhort [you] to contend for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief which was delivered]verbally to the holy people of God].   4For certain men have crept in stealthily [gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Amplified Bible

There is no other side to truth except truth exchanged for lies and rationalization. The bible is as it says for all people and sin is sin. You can't categorize sin; you can't put a cultural label on it and tag it for a special "grace" preference. God treats all of us the same and to God sin is just plain old sinners sinning in their human condition.

Why do people think homosexuals don't need to follow after God's Word, yet all the rest of us do? What makes them different from us, that they don't need Jesus; they don't need the LIFE-WAY God set up for all of us? Do you think if we habitually sin and we don't accept Jesus, His way, His truth that we will go to heaven? Why should it be different for them? God does not play favorites according to our cultural, human labeling of sin. Sin is sin.

Romans 8:13

For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever.

Amplified Bible

Someone wanted me to read this book so I could be "enlightened" about the other side of homosexuality, be "educated"! I say to them: "You are being deceived by a "good book", I would rather follow The GOOD Book- The Bible- The Fullness of God's Truth. God loves people with TRUTH. HIS TRUTH AND LOVE were always God's Intention and design for us! Nothing anyone else writes can change the TRUTH found in the Bible, truth that is clear and explicit about how God feels about sin!

Ephesians 4:12-16

12His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church),

13[That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [[a]full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. 14So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of [b]unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. 15Rather, let our lives lovingly [c]express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 16For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.

Why do you think we should treat homosexuals differently and tolerate... pussy foot around the truth? Is that really the way to express God's love? If you love someone and they are living a life style that God has not created for them, if they are bound for an eternity without God, you would not tell them? How is that love? You speak the truth in love to all other people but you feel homosexuals are exempt from truth? I don't think God's love labels any people. We are all the same, we all have the same struggles and temptations, we all have the same power to choose right or wrong because God has given all of us a free will. We choose death or we choose life.

Hebrews 4:12

For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

Amplified Bible

How is it you feel homosexuals are being "inflicted with pain" by Christians? Truth does not inflict pain when spoken in love and directed by The Holy Spirit in the Infinite Love of God. Truth may hurt when you are choosing to live according to your fleshly desires, but truth spoken in love brings life! Tolerance No! Not at the expense of truth. I will never abandon God's truth, I don't care who writes what and who they Ghostwrite for..... If we accept homosexuals where they are at and we don't speak God's truth to them with His Love, they will die right where they are at. Choose Life! God Did Not Hide His Commandments About Sexual Sins Of All Kinds. They Are Clearly Defined In His Word. Choose To Obey God! Choose Life!

Deuteronomy 30:8-20

And you shall return and obey the voice of the Lord and do all His commandments which I command you today. 9 And the Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, of your cattle, of your land, for good; for the Lord will again delight in prospering you, as He took delight in your fathers, 10 If you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with all your being. 11 For this commandment which I command you this day is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off.

12 It is not [a secret laid up] in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it to us, that we may hear and do it? 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear and do it? 14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it. 15 See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil. 16 [If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which] I command you today, to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land into which you go to possess. 17 But if your [mind and] heart turn away and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today that you shall surely perish, and you shall not live long in the land which you pass over the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live 20 And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Tolerance is such a deceptive message. Truth sets you free! I want to see everyone, no matter what the world has culturally branded them with, I want to see them live eternally. When you accept Jesus Christ and you don't follow after Him, you choose to follow your own life style, live in your own fleshly feel good ways, you will answer to God, I don't care what title you put on it. When you disobey God, that is painful! If someone you know is cheating on their wife, you would not speak truth to them. What makes one sexual sin different from the next?

Why can you speak the truth to one person and not to the other person because of their cultural label? Why put sin into cultural categories and labels and then dictate tolerance to one label?

We all sin and have fallen short of the glory of God. What if someone had not spoken the truth to me or to you? What makes us different? We both were sinners. We both needed God and His way. Why do you feel homosexuals don't need God and HIS Way and we are supposed to just "tolerate" their sin, yet other people sin and we can speak truth to them?

You can read everything you want, but the most infallible Word is the BIBLE and you can't change how God has spoken it. Ask God about being tolerant. Wow... when you read the bible, He doesn't sound tolerant to me. He loves in a huge way, but He loves with the fullness TRUTH. If you sin, you will bear the consequences.

Does It Get Any Clearer Than This?!

1 Corinthians 6:9

Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality,

Amplified Bible

 

Sinners! Love them by telling them the TRUTH, the BIBLE the Word of God is the only truth. The burden of proof is not on you, that is why you can speak the truth of God and love sinners right where they are at. But Jesus said for us to go out and make disciples it is our command by our GOD to tell people His TRUTH, His WAY, His Life... we tell them... God, The Holy Spirit proves it to them. Telling them the truth is loving them the best way you can! The choice is to accept them or love them? Which do you choose? Christians follow after Christ 1st, no one else but Christ. What would He do? What would He say? He would speak the truth in love and His Holy Spirit would convict and convince us of what was right. God's Truth is what is right. Speak the truth in LOVE and leave the burden of proof to the Holy Spirit because He can do it! We can't! God's Truth Is Clear! Speak It In Love! Point The Way To God- Repentance- Change!

Again! It Doesn't Get Any Clearer Than This?!

1 Corinthians 6:9

Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality,

I do love all people and I do hate cultural labels! If I liked Dancing With The Stars, which I don't and I don't watch it; having Chastity-Chaz on it would not stop me from watching it, unless directed by the Holy Spirit. I don't personally judge, but God does judge, so I follow after Him. If He says no, it is no! But it would stop me from letting my grand kids watch it, because I am responsible to God for them and I don't want them "educated" by worldly tolerance to sexual perversion; so I can agree with parents who have to rate this show as a "no see" now because Chastity-Chaz is on it. Why? Because this show has purposely used her to up their ratings at the expense of irresponsibly airing things children should not have to deal with? This is age inappropriate! They don't care about Chastity and her struggles, they are using her. We can "educate" our children about the sin without condemning or judging the sinner, but it would be irresponsible for us to expose them to this at a delicate age of reason. This is not judgement, it is responsibility. We don't have to judge Chastity, she will answer to God, not to human beings. Chastity did not like what God had created her to be, so she mutilated her body, trying to become a boy, who she thinks now she is, but she can never be, because she can't create herself to be the "seed carrier" that only God created a man to be. She could not make herself into a real man. Only God can create male and female the way He designed, all other human tryings are just fake imperfect, flawed replications of God's creation. How sad is that. You can only pretend to be something that you are not, you can never be real or genuine. It is not the way God created it to be and when man steps in to something as beautiful and perfect as God's creation and tries to change it, it just pushes forward perversion to a whole new human degree of dysfunction. Rejecting God's creation, changing it by human means is rejecting the Creator too. Therefore, I agree 100 percent that parents need to sensor this show and not let their kids see it. It is the responsible thing to do in response to a networks irresponsible and the bottom line is greed.

Psalm 139:14

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.

The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

Sexual Perversion of God's original design! Do I want to be educated in that, no my friend…. No! Do I want to be "tolerant" of someone who is trying to duplicate or replicate Kingdom things, No! Because the truth is that they can't! Do I love them, yes! I love them with God's Truth, I speak it to them because I love God and I love them and I want to see the truth they substituted for a lie, be exchanged back for the reality of God's Truth – Pure-Holy-Powerful Truth that can and will set them free. Repentance is a beautiful thing; it takes the perversion of sin and causes us to turn to fully face the beauty of our AWE-GOD and He sets us free and changes us into His Image! Everyone has this opportunity, no matter what label we have placed on sin, all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory and all can repent and be changed by the resurrected power of Jesus Christ. To tolerate sin is to deny the power of God and His Truth! Jesus did not die for us to "tolerate" Chastity's sin. He died to bring healing to her, free her and change her into all He created her to be. No! I will not tolerate sin! I will speak the truth in God's love and point the sinner to Jesus, the ONE WHO bore the burden of proof for His Kingdom Ways!

Romans 1:20-25

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification],21 Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and [a]godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves]. 23 And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal man and birds and beasts and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin], 25 Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it).

A friend told me we need to be "educated" about people who choose to be transvestites, and the homosexual life-style and we need to be "tolerant"! How foolish is that! We don't need to be "educated" in sin, we need to be "educated in God's truth"! We need to teach and equip our children in God's truth, not in tolerance of cultural sin. Anyway, with my life style, living full out for God and the Kingdom of God, sharing His Truth and Love every day, in every way I can to everyone I can, I don't have time for the TV shows I like, much less ones I don't, so I won't be "tolerating" Chastity Bono by watching Dancing With The Stars anyway, but I will be praying for her.

But I do make time to speak God's truth which will always trump tolerance with His precepts and His Love.

But as for Chastity, as for her sin, I won't say that what she did was not wrong... what she did was wrong and if I had the opportunity to share Jesus with her, share His truth and His Love with her and lead her to God's life changing power... I would. If someone asks me if I agree with her life style, I don't, it is sin... black and white. She has dumped her creator and His creation and took matters in her own hands. His will exchanged for her wants. Read Isaiah 50: Don't kindle your own fire and walk by the light of a man made fire or you will lay down in torment. That is where her life is and will stay in inner torment. I don't want that for her, I want freedom for her and I want eternal life for her. How could I not? I love God with all my heart, He loves her. There is not a person on this earth that God does not want or love; He wants everyone to choose Jesus, to follow His Way of Truth. There is no one that we meet in this life that God does not love. God loves Chastity Bono, God wants her to be her Forever, but unfortunately God has given us a free will and the choice is hers.

Psalm 52:2-4

You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor.3 You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.

Tolerance! No! Truth! Yes! When God puts people in my life path that need to hear His truth, I will share the truth with them in love, and no cultural label will stop me, I will share God's Gospel as directed by the Holy Spirit, because this is my commission as His Kingdom Citizen. I will lead people to Jesus and He will change them. The burden of proof is with the Holy Spirit, I don't have to prove anything, I just share God's powerful truth and it does not return void.

You can't run the rationalize race and win. You can't run from God or His Truth. The price is too steep when you run from God!

All this tolerance stuff does is X Jesus out of the picture and makes you so sensitive to the homosexual, so afraid of hurting them, or as my friend says being a Christian that inflicts pain on them, that you are not sensitive to the Holy Spirit. God comes 1st and God does not respect a human label, He sees us all as His, without the cultural label. Yes, homosexuals can be set free, everyone can be set free. God did not put a label on His Salvation Power and His Ability to change people according to His Way, His Truth, His Life. I don't X God out of anything or anyone no matter what label the world has pasted them with. Everyone is tempted, enticed to sin, it has nothing to do with our genetic predisposition, it has to do with our human condition that we all have. We all would love a "free genetic pass" to sin and not take the responsibility to say no when we are tempted, bated by our own evil desires for passions that are not natural.

James 1:13-15

Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions). 15 Then the evil desire, when it has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully matured, brings forth death.

God does not accept or tolerate sin. He will judge all of us sinners, we all will be judged for our sins and the way we handle His truth. We don't tolerate sin, we stand for truth and we love the sinner with God's Truth. When someone stands up for TRUTH and someone else calls them a bigot and you don't say something? Who are you standing for? What Truth?

A common mistake Christians make is to think they can trump truth with tolerance and win eternity.

Telling people we need to "tolerate" homosexual sin? Where is that in the bible? Saying homosexuals don't need to be set free? Where is that in the bible? We need to love and accept them like they are? Love and tolerate are soooooo different kind of like... Love is white and tolerate is grey and love is hot and tolerate is "luke warm" and what did Jesus say about lukewarmness?

Revelation 3:14-21 The Letter to the Church in Laodicea

"Here is what I command you to write to the church in Laodicea. Here are the words of the One who is the Amen. What he gives witness to is faithful and true. He rules over what God has created. He says, 15 'I know what you are doing. I know you aren't cold or hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 But you are lukewarm. You aren't hot or cold. So I am going to spit you out of my mouth. 17 'You say, "I am rich. I've become wealthy and don't need anything." But you don't realize how pitiful and miserable you have become. You are poor, blind and naked. 18 'So here's my advice. Buy from me gold made pure by fire. Then you will become rich. Buy from me white clothes to wear. Then you will be able to cover your shameful nakedness. And buy from me healing lotion to put on your eyes. Then you will be able to see. 19 'I correct and train those I love. So be sincere, and turn away from your sins. 20 'Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If any of you hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with you. And you will eat with me. 21 'I'll give those who overcome the right to sit with me on my throne. In the same way, I overcame. Then I sat down with my Father on his throne.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

 

Tolerate Sin! I wish it worked that way, but talk to God, He wrote the life-book. God was the one Who asked us to walk the narrow path and He has great Kingdom purpose in it! When we reject His Way, We Reject Him. As for Chastity Bono, she was created by God, she may have problems because of the sins of others in her life and how she responded to that. My great grandparents were murdered by my Great Aunt, that did not make me a murderer. It hurt me for years, but God healed me and I stayed the course of my life by the choices. I made a choice to love God and I choose to obey God no matter what came into my life. Chastity has that same choice, she has chosen to go her own way, to try to make her own destiny on a broad path of whatever feels good to her. We all have to make hard decisions in life to follow after God and His way, we can't blame anyone else when we make the wrong choice. BE- LAME!

Matthew 7:13

Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. 14But the gate is narrow (contracted [a]by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.

Chastity made her choice to independently change herself from the girl God supernaturally made created her into an unnatural boy; she is under no authority but her own and that is between her and God. She will pay the consequences of her choice to sin. Sin separates her from God's Grace, it does not enable her to use God's grace to stay in her man made comfort zone. God is looking to heal, restore and give her life. The Father of lies wants to kill, steal and destroy her identity. But I will not tolerate her sin, nor support it or stand for it in anyway. I stand for God and His Truth and that will be my living legacy.

Romans 2:9

[And] there will be tribulation and anguish and calamity and constraint for every soul of man who [habitually] does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek (Gentile).

Amplified Bible

Yes, I will always stand for God's truth and I will love others with it and because of it. I think it is wrong for Christians to ask other Christians to "tolerate" homosexuality. Why? Do we "tolerate" murder? Do we "tolerate" adultery? Do we "tolerate" other sin? No, we speak the truth in love, we go therefore and share the gospel, we don't tolerate sin. Tolerating has no power to change a person, God's Truth and God's Love do and will! God's Truth Trumps Tolerance Every Time With Eternal Life!

Ephesians 4:20

But that's no life for you. You learned Christ! My assumption is that you have paid careful attention to him, been well instructed in the truth precisely as we have it in Jesus. Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything—and I do mean everything—connected with that old way of life has to go. It's rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you.

Message Bible

To me there is no "other side" to sin except rationalization. There are no excuses that stand up with God's truth. BE LAME! All sin is a choice, we make to go our own way, to make our own life-style and to disobey God and we will pay the consequences for it just like the Father of Lies- satan who leads us into our rebellion. I am very careful how I handle the Truth because I know I will answer for that too. So no... tolerate is not a word to me, it is a lie exchanged for truth.

Isaiah 55:10-13

For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. 12 For you shall go out [from the spiritual exile caused by sin and evil into the homeland] with joy and be led forth [by your Leader, the Lord Himself, and His word] with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; and it shall be to the Lord for a name of renown, for an everlasting sign [of jubilant exaltation] and memorial [to His praise], which shall not be cut off.

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

Those of you who know my personality know that I am not a "bible banger", I have been given a very loving, enduring personality and I stick closely to God and His Truth. I will love others, I will speak the truth and I will follow after God, so therefore, I will never ask others to "tolerate" sin or look for another "side" to truth. God's Truth is Truth. Period! You share God's Truth and Love and the burden of proof is on the Holy Spirit, not you or me. If the burden of proof is on me, then maybe I would have to "tolerate" sin. But it is on God, His Word does not return void. The burden of proof is on God. God's Got This. This Is God's Truth! He Will Prove It:

Leviticus 20:13

If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Amplified Bible

It is when us human beings get involved and we try to "soften" the blow of God's Truth, and diminish God's Truth, that is just foolish to think you can do that. God's Truth is powerful. God's Love is powerful and both of them together lead to Christ, who bore the burden of proof on the cross and rose again with resurrected power so I don't have to "tolerate" sin.

People want to rationalize that their sin is okay; they would do anything and believe anything just to be able to stay in their sin. Their rationalization does not have to become our tolerance.

Believe me, my eyes are open to Truth and only Truth! I don't need an alternative "other sided" path. Only God! Only His Truth and Love! Human beings like to kindle their own fires and sit by the light of a man made fire instead of walking by God's light. But in the end they will lay down in torment, created by the absence of God's Presence.

Isaiah 50:10-11

Who is among you who [reverently] fears the Lord, who obeys the voice of His Servant, yet who walks in darkness and deep trouble and has no shining splendor [in his heart]? Let him rely on, trust in, and be confident in the name of the Lord, and let him lean upon and be supported by his God. Behold, all you [enemies of your own selves] who attempt to kindle your own fires [and work out your own plans of salvation], who surround and gird yourselves with momentary sparks, darts, and firebrands that you set aflame!--walk by the light of your self-made fire and of the sparks that you have kindled [for yourself, if you will]! But this shall you have from My hand: you shall lie down in grief and in torment.

Amplified Bible

It is time to grow up and make the right choices no matter how hard they might be. Live right by God's strength and power and stop making excuses about our sin, stop presuming on the grace of God! To say homosexuals have a special out, their sin is different and caused by genetics is plain foolishness. They are human beings just like us that are giving into their lusts, enticed by the devil, giving into perverse sexual behavior. Just say no to sin! Sin has to go - not be tolerated, but be gone! It is time to grow up, to make a choice for the purity of God's Holiness! No more cultural titles, no more "cultural grace passes" for sin! Live Right For God! Choose The Fullness Of God's Truth! Step out of your man made comfort zone on the huge wide broad path of ease and follow after God's Way on the narrow path where you don't give into your fleshly wants and desires, but you follow after God's created supernatural way and truth!

Ephesians 4:16-18

No prolonged infancies among us, please. We'll not tolerate babes in the woods, small children who are an easy mark for impostors. God wants us to grow up, to know the whole truth and tell it in love—like Christ in everything. We take our lead from Christ, who is the source of everything we do. He keeps us in step with each other. His very breath and blood flow through us, nourishing us so that we will grow up healthy in God, robust in love.

The Old Way Has to Go

17-19And so I insist—and God backs me up on this—that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd. They've refused for so long to deal with God that they've lost touch not only with God but with reality itself. They can't think straight anymore. Feeling no pain, they let themselves go in sexual obsession, addicted to every sort of perversion.

The Message

We all have too, none of us are given a special "grace-pass" to sin. God would not have created them that way, it is contrary to His Word. This is deceptive foolishness and it blinds you from a very clear truth! Beware of false prophets in the end days!! Beware of false doctrines! People will say and do everything to stay in a "comfort zone" instead of fully facing their God! To change God's Word to help people be at ease in sin and shift the blame of sin from them to genetics is false. To say that God's Grace covers sinners living in habitual sin is not truth but presumption.

Matthew 7:15

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them.

Listen To God's Word! Does It Get Any Clearer Than This?! No cultural brand gives you a "grace" to sin. We all are sinners, we all pay the consequence for our sins. If we choose a life-style of habitual sin, we will be separated from God…. Forever. It is what it is. God spoke it. He meant it for all of us!

1 Corinthians 6:9

Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality,

Leviticus 18:22

"Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.

New Living Translation

Romans 1:20-28

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

New International Version (NIV)

Romans 6 Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. 5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Revelation 22:18-19

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

New International Version (NIV)

Deuteronomy 4:2

You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Deuteronomy 12:32

Whatever I command you, be watchful to do it; you shall not add to it or diminish it.

1 Thessalonians 4:2-4

For you know what charges and precepts we gave you [[a]on the authority and by the inspiration of] the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, that you should be consecrated (separated and set apart for pure and holy living): that you should abstain and shrink from all sexual vice, 4 That each one of you should know how to possess (control, manage) his own body in consecration (purity, separated from things profane) and honor,
