Blasphemers and Naysayers
The world continues its toboggan slide into depravity, and frankly, into the Great Tribulation. This is a stark reality, but one that we must realize and understand fully. We are living in the end times and the signs of this are becoming more evident and poignant with each passing day.
Mankind continues their Satanically-inspired quest to, unwittingly in some cases, support Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche’s claim that “God is dead.” But, some are saying that God, in the form of Jesus Christ anyway, never existed, while others are slandering the Son of God openly and pop culture is latching on “hook, line, and sinker.”
There’s a documentary movie titled, The God Who Wasn’t There, which has recently been released. Maybe you’ve seen advertisements for it. It’s not only an attack on Christianity, but it’s a full scale war on the belief of Jesus Christ’s existence. It’s designed to undermine the faith of those who believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was real, that He walked the earth as a human, that He gave His life for the sins of mankind.
The movies’ producers say that the story of Christ’s life fits the ancient mold of “the hero pattern” which is common among other belief systems along with a number of other common criticisms of the Bible and its concepts and tenets. On the movies’ website it reads:
The taboo-shattering documentary that Newsweek says “irreverently lays out the case that Jesus Christ never existed.”
We all need to, if we haven’t already, begin the quest to answer the ultimate question, “Does God exist?” Reading the booklet The Real God: Proofs and Promises is an excellent place to start.
Furthermore, in a Parade Magazine Interview, dated February 17, 2010, the pop singer, Elton John, said:
I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don’t know what makes people so cruel…
The thought of Christ being gay is not even worth commenting on it is so ludicrous. But, because some say that Christ never spoke directly against homosexuality, I feel compelled to address the issue. Christ was the God of the Old Testament (1 Corinthians 10:1-4) and condemned homosexuality (Leviticus 18:22). We need to prove these things for ourselves…we are without question living in the end times, and time is short. Elton John’s comments are indicative of the depravity of this society.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 states: “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”
Elton John is slinging slanderous, blasphemous mud at Jesus Christ, the Savior of all mankind. But who really is behind all this? There is a spirit war going on and Satan, the Prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2), continues to step up his game in deceiving society (Revelation 12:9). He is the real culprit, instilling doubt and cynicism at an unprecedented worldwide scale. We have to be ready; we must be prepared, to combat, in our own minds, these onslaughts against the Bible, and against the very concept of Christ Himself.
Slanderers and naysayers are launching on all out attack on Christ and railing slanderous accusations and blasphemous statements against Him. Those who do this should be mindful of their thoughts and words as Romans 14:10 states, “…For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”
How much do we need God’s Kingdom of peace, prosperity, and joy to come? Are you and I praying fervently for that day to come? Are we separating ourselves from this world?
