Mr. Joe Blow decided to start reading the Bible. He opens it to the first book, Genesis, and begins by reading the very first verse, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” He stops, already he is puzzled. He wonders how some being, even a god, could create something that he is sure developed over millions of years by chance. But he continued. He reads the entire first chapter of Genesis, and he has a bunch of doubts. This God created everything in only six days. Already Mr. Joe is thinking that he is wasting his time reading something that sounds like a fairy tale. However he goes ahead with chapters two and three.
In chapter two he learns that a woman is made from the first man’s rib. In chapter three there is a snake talking to this woman Eve about eating some forbidden fruit. God had told Adam, the first man, that if anyone ate this fruit they would die. Anyway the woman listened to the snake and ate the fruit. Then Adam ate some, and God was so angry that he kicked them out out a beautiful garden called Eden. Because these two didn’t obey God every person born there after would be cursed and condemned to eternal death. They were called sinners. Joe Blow thought, ‘Does this make me a sinner?’
Mr. Joe Blow closed his brand new Bible, walked over to the trash can and threw it away. He turned shaking his head saying, “Who would believe such things as this. Many others like Mr. Blow have read bits and pieces of the Bible, or someone told them what they had read, and they all came to the same conclusion, “The Bible can’t be my guide. I cannot live the way it says I should live.” Or they conclude that they will believe the parts that will serve their purpose in life.
It seems that the majority of people today will not believe what God told the Israelites, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Leviticus 18:22
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.” Leviticus 20:13
“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 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.” Romans 1:26-27
The Bible clearly calls homosexuality an abomination, a shameful act, yet the world disagrees. If a man loves another man or if a woman loves another woman in a way that they become sex partners and/or marriage partners then so be it. Never mind what the Holy Word of God says. Never mind that the Almighty God says that those participating in these acts are condemned and will have no part in the glory of heaven. Throw the Bible in the trash. Make it legal. It is a person’s right with whom they sleep or marry. Enter the left wing liberal politicians. Pass ungodly laws to allow people to do what they view as their God given rights.
For he (John the Baptist) will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother’s womb. Luke 1:15
41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. Luke 1:41
The popular opinion today is that that thing in a woman’s womb is not a baby. It is a fetus. The pregnant woman says, “This is my body so if I don’t want it I’ll get rid of it. Don’t tell me I am murdering a baby. I don’t care what God says. He’s wrong! That was not a baby in Elizabeth’s womb.” Throw the Bible in the trash! So again our left wing liberal politicians knock themselves out advocating for and passing ungodly laws to protect a woman’s right to kill her baby.
Mr. Joe Blow and Miss Joetta Blow some of that stuff in the Bible causes some problems for you doesn’t it? What to do about the things you don’t like is your big question. So maybe you agree with Satan when he tempted Eve in the garden when he said, “Did God really say?” Give me a break, you don’t care what God said. You intend to do what you want to do regardless of what is printed in the Bible. Go on, try to convince yourself that you are right, that you will go to heaven when you die, or at the very least you won’t go to hell. It probably doesn’t exist any way. The answer? It makes things easier for you to just thrown God’s word in the trash! Live the way you want to live. God just gets in your way, doesn’t he?
