I just posted this on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/slusherolivia/
This is a topic that really gets me going! I felt the need to share it here on CC, for everyone to read, especially those of you who consider yourselves to be Christian, yet think sin is okay, support sin and others in sin, or continue to sin with the excuse of "I'm human. It's natural to sin."
Quoted from my Instagram:
[h=1]⬆For all you Christians who support sin⬆
Man, if there's one thing that really gets me going, it's Christians in the Church proclaiming sin as okay and supporting the acts of sin. This really makes me want to pull my hair out haha. When Christ came and died for our SINS, He delivered us from the consequences of that said sin. God gave us the opportunity to hear the Truth, He who is the Truth, so we may reflect on the burdens of our wickedness. Our sin is so great- God became MAN, to be crucified on the cross. Because
THAT
is how dangerous sin is. How evil sin is. How heavy sin is. How burdensome sin is. How deathly, sin is.
Sin is death. Plain and simple. It is not from God, it is from the serpent. The Devil. The evil one. Sin exists, not because we are human beings, but because of the sly trickery of the Devil. Who allowed evil and good to coexist. And since that moment, we as humans, are born into sin inevitably.
When we become REBORN through Christ- we are no longer bound to that inevitable truth. Our truth is no longer found in flesh, but found in Spirit. This does NOT mean we are not tempted, tested, tried by sin. The world is sin, so because of this, existing on Earth is existing among sin.
When we find redemption, it is not an 'option' but a DUTY , a REQUIREMENT, to live a life as Christ would. How did Christ live? A life FREE OF SIN. He did not come and die so we were free TO sin. He came because we were FREELY SINNING. And the wages of that sin meant eternal death, something our great Father couldn't bare to hold. Just as much as we need Him, He needs His Children.
So when a person in the Church proclaims to be 'Christian' and supports sin in the world- it is blasphemy. They are not supporting God, Gods Word, but instead- supporting the Devil. Did Christ not say to leave the World, ways of the World, and come to Him? SUPPORTING SIN goes against that by multitudes. Remember it is not 'throwing stones' to defend the Word on Sin, it is defending Truth. Sin is sin.
1 Corinthians 5:12- 'For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? Do not ye JUDGE them that are WITHIN'
Yes, we are allowed to Judge Righteously, those in the CHURCH. [/h]
End Quote.
Sin is sin. Never forget the price of that sin that our Savior paid on the cross. If we are to leave the World, live as Christ would, how can ANY true Christian even begin to think sin is okay or just? They are blinded by false belief, tricked by ways of the World. Again, to clarify, if someone outside of the Church is sinning, who does not proclaim themselves as Christian, it is not our duty as Christians to judge that person or persons(s). That is God's duty to give those souls the opportunity to know Christ. And it is our place to show them by example, so they may see the good works we do, and want to follow the path of righteousness. They are NOT aware of sin. So we are not in the standing to judge them on that sin, for they don't even know they are sinning. And because of that, they cannot yet repent.
-BUT- it IS DEFINITELY our job as Christians to JUDGE righteously those in the CHURCH who proclaim sin as okay. Doing so in a firm knowledge of the Word, and in a patient- compassionate way as Christ would. Don't be lukewarm or extreme. Be as Christ was.
