Test All Things Pt. 9 – ‘Judge Not’…At All???

By Terrence Straughter & SlaveOfJesusChrist

I Thessalonians 4

7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.
8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.

When it’s only “God can judge me” what are you going to say when he finally does judge you? Many already knew the truth but rejected it. The people you accused of judging, and condemning you, just for preaching God’s message to repent and believe the Gospel, walk in righteousness, abstain from sin, God may say “that was me working through them to reach you”. God’s sheep have an accountability to preach the gospel, and to help each other out (particularly fellow members is Christ.)

I John 4

4   You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
5   They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
6   We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Its because we know that everyone is in need of hearing the truth, just as every child is in need of parenting. No one ever asks a child if they want a parent. Children are parented whether they want it or not. Christians have truth from God that can save everyone, who believes it, from God’s wrath. And it doesn’t matter if anyone wants to hear it. If we love God, and the people of this world, we’ll tell them the truth, even though Jesus, himself, told us this…

John 3

18   “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19   And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20   For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21   But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

That is why we give these warnings:

Hebrews 10

26   For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27   but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.
28   Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29   Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
30   For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.”
31   It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hebrews 6

1   Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
2   of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3   And this we will do if God permits.
4   For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5   and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6   if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
7   For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;
8   but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

Hebrews 3

12   Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;
13   but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14   For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
15   while it is said: ” Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

1John 1

5   This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6   If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7   But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8   If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9   If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10   If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

1John 2

1   My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2   And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
3   Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

War on Consciousness Pt. 29 – Arts & Entertainment & The Homosexual Agenda

Noise of Thunder Radio Show –

Chris discusses a recent article in which Susan Olsen, star of the 70’s show “The Brady Bunch,” pays homage to her TV dad — the late Robert Reed — celebrating the fact that he was a homosexual, and blaming his death on Christians who preach against the gay lifestyle. Her testimony is the latest in Hollywood’s ongoing war against the Christian faith. Olsen goes out of her way to say that those who oppose homosexuality are “exactly like the primitive practice of people who killed babies” who were born with birth defects. But is it really “Christianity” that causes the premature death of homosexuals? Robert Reed’s death reveals the truth about the gay philosophy, and exposes the true culprits in what is devastating the homosexual community.

Susan Olsen, ‘Brady Bunch’ Star, On Gay Marriage, TV Dad Robert Reed

Add Cindy Brady to the slew of stars who have sounded off on their support of marriage equality.

“Brady Bunch” actress Susan Olsen, who played the character Cindy Brady on the iconic series, posted a cover photo to her Facebook page that has the caption, “Please God, let the Supreme Court know that you think it’s OK for gay people to marry.”

As Queerty points out, her fan page has also quoted her saying that her “gay TV dad would have been the best husband ever.” Of Robert Reed, who played Mike Brady, she reportedly writes:

“As a child, I was BLESSED to have another father figure in my life. He did not replace my own beloved, Norwegian version of Jed Clampett, nor would he have wanted to. He simply harmonized with all of my family values and brought his own heart to our table. This wonderful man was a giant in my world, a true king among men. His name was, and is, Robert Reed (OK that’s his stage name). This tempetuous actor who bottle fed puppies when he wasn’t quarreling with the heads of networks, shaped my heart as much as my biological parents did. So I really can honestly say, ‘My Dad was Gay.'”

She went on to note:

“‘I can also say that being gay killed him. Because it was so taboo, he could never make peace with himself. He never allowed himself to have a genuine love. He was forever taunted by his own disdain for the natural inclinations that he was BORN WITH. Bob was a family man. Had he been allowed to form a relationship with another man, he would have been the best husband ever and might still be alive.

To me, the vilification of homosexuality is exactly like the primitive practice of people who killed babies who were born with cleff palates or birth marks. It is a worship not of God but of fear itself in the form of a God who hates.”

You can read the full post here and here.

Reed, who was by all accounts a closeted gay man, died in 1992 of colon cancer. He was also revealed to have been HIV positive at the time of his death.

“Arrow” star Stephen Amell recently posted a message to his Facebook page in support of same-sex marriage. Beyonce and Madonna also posted supportive handwritten messages to their Instagram accounts.

Test All Things Pt. 8 – Gnosticism

By Terrence Straughter

I John 4:1-3 NKJV

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
