Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'" - Matthew 13:30
37 He answered, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers,
42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. - Matthew 13:37-43
47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind.
48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad.
49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. - Matthew 13:47-50
Friends, I must point out the truth of God's word to you.
I am responsible before God to speak the truth of the gospel.
I will face persecution as warned in the bible.
It was written long ago to forewarn all who follow Christ.
There are many worthy and unworthy human attributes such as right and wrong, good and bad, holy and unholy, wicked and obedient.
These attitudes of the heart are present now and were here in the beginning.
Each has a consequence of eternal importance.
Repent and trust Christ.
We are commanded to love all people but we do not excuse their sin, whether politically correct or not.
Sin is a part of our human make-up.
It is manifested in many ways, but it has the same basic flaw, rebellion against God and His Holy Law!!
The Law was instituted as a means of convicting us of our rebellion against The Sovereign God of all.
God did not institute marriage to be defiled.
He created male and female, in His image, for His purpose.
That purpose being to pro-create and fill the earth.
He meant for these creations, male and female, to be mates until death.
Sin entered in and perverted what was meant for the good of mankind and the joy of the Creator.
Hence, we have adultery and a perverted view of marriage.
All sin must be atoned for by a worthy means, meaning Christ alone was deemed by God as the only acceptable substitute.
By His death on the cross and the shedding of His blood for the cleansing of the sin of all mankind, we have been redeemed before Holy God.
What a marvelous gift to sinners.
If you repent, there is forgiveness!
God knows your heart and He is bigger than any sin, that means He will supply your every need to beat that sin and stay in a state of repentance.
Flee sin!!
We may choose to be obedient or we may choose rebellion.
I pray you will weigh your choice very carefully.
The real meaning of marriage:
4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,
5 and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." - Matthew 19:4-6
The real reasons for divorce:
8 He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery." - Matthew 19:8-9
14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.
16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? - 1 Corinthians 7:14-16
A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 7:39
Salvation:
6 It has been testified somewhere, "What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him?
7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,
8 putting everything in subjection under his feet." Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.
9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. - Hebrews 2:6-10
