Does Jesus accept the evil sinner? Or does Jesus accept the sins of the sinner. Some people claim that Jesus does because Jesus loves all so that means that the sinner is accepted for who and what they are. This I suppose means that people believe that Jesus accepts gay behaviors, abortions, feminists, greed, etc.

 

 

Jesus clearly said, “Sin no more…” and no matter how you dress that up the simple text tells us to change, “all things become new” does not mean accept the filth of the past and keep it, or accept the filth that other people do and accept it.

Jesus taught change, and radical change in a lost sinful world.

Jesus does not accept the sins of the sinner and does not accept that the new converted person should stay as a sinner. People do preach this. They say that we are saved and from that point on we can do whatever we want and its not a problem because we are going to heaven etc.

 

A sugar-coated Jesus that everyone can swallow will be accepted by anyone so that they can continue with their bad living and to be popular and agreeable to all. They will agree with all those who are sinning and passing it on to their children etc.

Is the sugar-coated Jesus the real Jesus?

 

The Sugar-Coated easy to swallow Jesus is the Jesus that the world back in the days of Jesus on earth would have loved because that meant that they didn’t have to run away from their sinful ways and just say, “Hey I accept this new Sugar-Coated Jesus and he is the way to truth and salvation. Lets get it on and party, where are the chicks?” The preacher who preached the Sugar-Coated Jesus would pat them on the back and say, “Brother you are going to heaven, you have security forever!”

The blind lead the blind, the blind celebrate with the blind – but what good is all of this if it goes no further than our earthly life? Where is Salvation and security if we are simply fooling ourselves?

What we are forgetting is that “we are not supposed to make up the rules!” Only God does. We are to accept change, and big change in our own lives. It is important that we don’t accept the sins and sinful ways of others – but we don’t judge them, we help them away from their sins if they are willing to change.

 

In the past there was a reasonably clear line between the follower of God and the sinner. In the times of Jesus it was hard to tell because the sinners had become the church and were accepting the behaviors of everyone. We have the same happening today.

You can share, love, care, be good to, help and guide everyone without judging them.

But it is wrong to support and backup sinful unnatural behaviors of people doing things that God did not design us to do and to do what is wrong.

We are not suppose to sugar-coat the Bible to suit ourselves or others. The battle is to be fought for good to win, and that means God to win. It can’t happen if the sugar-coated Bible is handing people to Satan.

Please do think about this. Think about your life. Think about what is natural – remember God created our bodies, the planet the universe, God didn’t make a mistake so we shouldn’t adjust what is wrong and right because we have decided that we like it.

Wrong is wrong, sin is sin, let there be no doubts about any of that in your mind.

 

All the best from
