Makes God Want to Vomit

Rev. 3:15, 16: "I know
thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee
out of my mouth."
"No one has a right to judge anyone because we are all sinners.
Homosexuality is no more wrong that lying. Abortion is much worse than
homosexuality in the eyes of men, but not in the eyes of God. The world would
not be any less lost now than if no abortions were done. Besides. have you ever
lied? Have you had evil thoughts? Other people see the beam in your eye, ha,
ha, ha. Christian should say nothing about the morals of their world; they should
work to reform the church."
Therefore everybody should shut up about moral things for all things are
equally evil and no one is good, no not one.
------------------
Makes you want to vomit? As least it should. It makes God wants to vomit. What
is wrong with the above? Everything, and if you don't see it already, you are a
moral ignoramus. But I will give you a few biblical ideas.
1. Heb. 5:13, 14 says that babies
don't know right from wrong, but those who are grown up have their senses
exercised to know good and evil.
2. We are told to abhor that which is
evil and cleave to that which is good. Rom. 12:9. It is hypocrisy to pretend
love and not do this. Love rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoices in the truth.
3. We are created moral beings with
the law of God written in our being to accuse or excuse our behavior: Romans
2:14,15.
4. Christians are to have no
fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but to reprove them. Eph
5:11-13
5. Christians are to let their light
shine before men. Their light is to be set on a candlestick so as to give light
to all the house. The light reproves the works of darkness. Eph. 5:11-13
6. The church is not to bear them
which are evil: Rev. 2:2
7. Christian are the light of the
world. Matt. 5:14. Light is a figure for faith, Acts 26:18; for good works Rom.
13:12; and knowledge 2Cor 4:6.
8. The Bible says that "the
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were
some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in
the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."
9. The Bible says that those who live
in "Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell
you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such
things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
10. Anyone who minimizes sin and does
not call sinners to repentance is a liar. Acts 17:30-31 "And the times of
this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in
righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given
assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead."
11. Those with beams in their eyes
are commanded to get them out so they can see clearly to get the mote of their
neighbors eye. They are not to shrug and say, 'I'm a bad boy, too." See Mt
7:5 "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and
then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s
eye."
12. Ministers particularly are
commanded to "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine." 2Ti 4:2
The church at Laodicea had become moral cyphers, who pretended to have a large
heart, forgiving what God has not forgiven and forbearing where God does not
forebear and had become themselves enemies of both God and moral people. This
was the only church of the Seven in Revelation where Christ stood outside,
knocking to get in.
