WATCHMAN
EZEKIEL 33: 2 – 6
Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: When I bring the sword against a land and the people of the land choose one of their men to make him their watchman , and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head. Since he heard the warning his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning he would have saved himself.
But if the watchman sees the sword coming does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.
I for one will be a watchman for God. I will not side step or back away for his Biblical principles. I will not be like a lot of our so called faith and religious leaders. If they are afraid of losing their tax exempt status or losing a few people that dump money in their collection plates then maybe they should find another profession. Because they are not sounding the trumpet for God. They are sounding it for man. I believe everyone has the right to worship God the way he wants to. But you can not change what God word to fit what you think. God has put somethings in his word that are very clear.
Homosexuality and and murder/abortion, and causing one of the little ones/children to sin is on that list. He is very clear on them. I believe that even thought you may have or has committed one of these sin you still ask for forgiveness. But you can not continue on sinning. You have to clean your inside out and know that God/Jesus has forgiven you.
Ezekiel 33;11 Say to them declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather turn from their wicked ways and live.
In the post Who shall we trust I have given you verses from the Bible the explains exactly where God stands on these issue.
Take the Catholic church how long and how many so called priests have cause/forced little boys to sin. What did the church do and are still doing, covered it up, moved the dirt bags someplace else to start all over again. And give the poor reason that they want to help the priests and that everyone deserves another chance. I would agree with that statement, as stated above from Ezekiel, but do not allow these people to be with children again . The Episcopal Church who is the church of our National Cathedral in Washington DC not only openly supports Gays and lesbians ,but has gay priests and leaders in the church. How does anyone of these faith so called institution say they are teaching the word of God/Jesus? If God calls it a sin then it is a sin and man can not change that to fit their agenda.
We should not try to take anyone’s free choice away from them– they can do what they want–they have freewill. We are only pointing out principles of God/Jesus. We are sounding the trumpet, not judging for there is One that job belongs to. But if we do not point it out, sound the trumpet, then we are at fault also and will be judge and held accountable on it.
BE A WATCHMAN.
